“Why do you think it’s weird? Nonsense.” The man coldly put his arm around her shoulders, and when Feng Ling’s body stiffened, he suddenly pushed her into the consultation room which was already open. “Go in and receive the examination. Cut the crap.”

Feng Ling stayed in the consultation room for as long as forty minutes before coming out. Li Nanheng smoked two cigarettes in the only smoking room in the corridor of the hospital. Feeling that Feng Ling was almost coming out, he threw the cigarette butt into the fireproof trash bin beside him and strode out.
As soon as he walked to the consultation room, he saw that the door had opened and Feng Ling came out of it, looking pretty good.
“What did the doctor say?”
“He just said I recovered well.” Feng Ling raised her eyes. “Boss, the doctor has said more than once that I’m fine now. I think I’ve applied to you for coming back to the base …”
“Let’s discuss it later.” The man looked away deadpan and turned to walk towards the ward.
Feng Ling quickly followed behind him and said, “But it is not necessary for me to stay in the hospital for another three days.”
“There are also certain guidelines for the injured members in the base. If you return to the base before fully recovering, you’ll have to face daily intensive training when you go back. If you cough or don’t feel well because of the intensity of the training, other members must think XI Base lacks humane care for the injured. Saying you’ve almost recovered is useless. Listen to the doctor’s instructions and stay in the hospital for at least a week first.”
As they talked, they walked back to the ward. It was still raining outside. Li Nanheng glanced out and then noticed that Feng Ling became even thinner despite the fact she was doing nothing in the hospital these days, so he said, “It’s Xiao Xu who prepared three meals a day for you. Now Xiao Xu is not around. What would you like to eat? I will buy it for you.”
“No, thanks, Boss. I can eat the food provided by the hospital.”
Li Nanheng raised his eyebrows. “Even if you’re willing to eat the lousy food the hospital provides, it doesn’t mean that I’m willing to eat it too. I’ll go out to fetch food anyway. Why bother doing it twice? Just tell me, what would you like to eat?”
“I’m not picky about food. Boss, you can just buy what you like to eat.” Feng Ling was almost desperate under the boss’s “oppression.”
“OK, wait,” Li Nanheng said and turned to go out.
At this time, Feng Ling also looked at the rain outside the window and was about to run out to ask him how to get out. After all, it was raining heavily, but she stopped after only one step.
Why did she bother to care so much?
Did Li Nanheng, a strong man, need her to worry about him?
…
An hour later.
Feng Ling was sitting on the bed waiting for her dinner and almost fell asleep.
Suddenly she seemed to smell the scent of roasted meat. She opened her eyes with a jerk and subconsciously turned her eyes towards the door.
Sure enough, the door of the ward opened at this time and the tall man came back with two insulated takeout boxes in his hands.
Li Nanheng placed the packed takeout on the table beside her bed and opened the boxes. Feng Ling looked at the grilled meat skewers inside. The skewers of meat had the special fragrance of grilled meat and smelled exceptionally delicious. She remembered the barbecue stall in the food street that she went to with Boss last time was very far away. Did Boss drive to the street food place? Wasn’t he afraid of being stuck in a traffic jam over there?
But looking at the skewers of meat, she could tell that Boss took it back soon after the meat was grilled, so the taste was very good.
“What are you waiting for? Didn’t you say last time that you wanted to eat it?” Li Nanheng casually took out two best-roasted skewers of meat and put them in her hand. Then he picked up the cigarette case that he threw on the table before leaving, threw it to the sofa, and sat at the table. Then he seemed to be afraid that Feng Ling would be hurt by the skewers, quickly got the meat off the skewers, put them all in the clean meal box in front of her, and then handed her a pair of chopsticks. “Come on, eat the meat. Eat while it’s still warm. It won’t taste so good when it gets cold.”
Xiao Xu couldn’t have come to the hospital today but because of the sudden heavy rain, the matter was temporarily put on hold, and he hurried to the hospital and happened to meet Li Bo outside.
Now he saw this scene inside through the glass in the door of the ward and was so surprised that he didn’t know what to say.
After all, it was the first time he saw the Boss specially drive into a street food stall where there were a lot of traffic jams and even bothered to ask the stall owner for insulated lunch boxes to contain the food. He was in such a hurry that he seemed even to forget to lock the door of his car. When he reached the hospital, he covered the food with his coat lest it was wetted by raindrops.
After taking the food to the ward like this, he still helped Feng Ling to get the meat off the skewers…
All these were fine, but it seemed that Boss almost wished to feed the meat into Feng Ling’s mouth in person.
Xiao Xu saw Boss driving out when he came back, so he followed him out. Now he just wanted to say… this was absolutely not the Boss in his mind who was always cold and aloof.
That was not right.
Didn’t the Boss hate sickly, delicate girls most?
Normally, if any member of the base asked for sick leave, the Boss would always give them an impatient look. He didn’t like those members who often got sick. Now Feng Ling was sick and hospitalized, but Boss took care of her so carefully.
Feng Ling, however, didn’t feel anything wrong and didn’t notice Xiao Xu was outside, let alone his gaping expression. Seeing Boss put so much meat into her meal box, she hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and started eating in case the meat would become cold. She smiled. “Boss, you won’t eat?”
Li Nanheng looked at her sideways. When he saw a grain of cumin on the corner of her mouth, he bent down to help her wipe it off.
However, Feng Ling instinctively dodged his hand when his hand was about to touch her mouth. Li Nanheng frowned and continued to reach out to wipe off the cumin for her. His fingertips immediately crossed the boy’s lips.
Feng Ling looked up at him and Li Nanheng’s fingers also stiffened for an instant. His lips felt unbelievably soft, making his fingertips and even his heart itchy. His voice became cold and he retracted his hand, pulled out a tissue, and threw it in front of her. “Wipe it yourself.”
With that, he continued to get the meat off the skewers and put it into Feng Ling’s meal box but he didn’t eat much. However, he drew a long face as if he was just rewarding one of his men.
