Feng Ling just walked out of the door when she heard footsteps approaching from behind. She suddenly felt as if her back was burning and couldn’t help but quicken her pace, trying to rush back to her room.
However, she suddenly heard someone locked the door behind her. “Click—”
Feng Ling stopped her footsteps and looked back at the door of Boss Li’s room. She heard the sound just now, right? Boss suddenly locked the door from inside?
What did she do to make Boss hate her so much as to lock the door within a second after she left?
Just when Feng Ling was wondering what was going on in puzzlement, Nanheng entered the bathroom with a dark face, slammed the bathroom door, turned on the showerhead, and began to take a cold shower on this rainy night in early autumn.
It wasn’t until he felt cold all over that he came out with a cold face.
He was about to get a cigarette and his eyes suddenly fell on the cushion on the ground that had not been put away. He came over with a cold look and bent down to pick it up. However, there seemed still to be the smell of someone on the cushion, which was a very faint fragrance that was hard to describe. It was an indescribable body fragrance that was usually concealed by the smell of shower gel.
Damn, how come a man has body fragrance?
Li Nanheng glanced at the cushion on the ground again, rolled it up, and tossed it aside. Then he looked down at the lower part of his body that had a reaction again, pursed his lips coldly, picked up a box of cigarettes, turned to open the window, and walked to the balcony.
At night, the XI Base was very quiet. The slogans and training shots that usually sounded on the different training grounds had disappeared now. It was so quiet that even the howls of the animals in the mountains and jungles not far away could be heard.
…
It had been three months since Feng Ling was discharged from the hospital and it was winter now. The members of the base were still wearing the same black uniforms as in summer in order not to restrain their actions except wearing a thick layer of knee brace on their knees and elbow joints to avoid frostbite, but because of the large amount of physical exercise during training, even if the temperature was a few degrees below zero, they were still sweaty. The intensive exercise all year round granted every member with very good physical fitness, so they didn’t easily catch a cold.
That included Feng Ling. Except for the last time on the cruise ship, she almost hadn’t been sick, and she has been training hard for the last three months after returning to the base. After the three months, now she, K and the other three members had successfully obtained the sniper rifles assigned to them by the base and had successfully learned some basic knowledge of how to use the sniper rifles.
After Qiao Fei found out that Feng Ling decided to keep her real gender a secret, he no longer took special care of her since Feng Ling clearly showed him her attitude, but in every sniper rifle training, when he taught the other four members, he wouldn’t hesitate to touch their bodies, while when teaching Feng Ling, he always kept a proper distance from her and avoiding touching her body.
After all, she was a girl …
Although he liked her very much, Feng Ling was too cold and she had made it clear that she was not interested in him, so even if Qiao Fei wanted to chase her, he didn’t even have a chance to approach her.
More importantly, Boss Li often kept an eye on him nearby and a casual glance of him could almost freeze him.

At 5:30 p.m., there were several gunshots from the ice and snow-covered training ground. Feng Ling was the last one to shoot a target 300 meters away with a sniper rifle and also the only one who shot right in the bull’s eye.
Seeing that she had hit the bulls’ eye 300 meters away, K put down the sniper rifle in his hand in shock and turned to Feng Ling. “Damn! You’re great! Deputy Drillmaster Qiao said last time that many people might still not be able to hit the bulls’ eye 300 meters away a year after they got their sniper rifles. You just got the gun but you are already so good at it! How can we catch up with you?!”
Feng Ling put down the gun and looked casually at the bulls’ eye in the distance. “It’s just a coincidence. If I shoot again, I may miss it.”
“Damn, if I can have such a lucky coincidence in the evaluation next month, Boss won’t kick me every time he sees me!” Tam laughed and glanced at Feng Ling who remained deadpan. “How the hell could you shoot so precisely? This is 300 meters, not 100 meters!”
“Exactly. When we just got the sniper rifle, even Boss Li said that we must be patient and should not be in a hurry, because after one hundred meters, every ten meters would be a very difficult level. However, you easily hit the bulls’ eye three hundred meters away. It would be better just keeping you alone in the sniper team and the four of us might as well go back to Team One to train close combat!” K laughed and walked towards Feng Ling, patting on her shoulder. “Come on, show me another shot. Boss is in a meeting today and is not here. Can you be my teacher and teach me how to shoot the target so precisely and easily? ”
Feng Ling rolled her eyes at him and gave him a warning with her eyes to take his hand away, but K was too familiar with her. He not only didn’t take his hand away, but also leaned on her shoulder, gesturing with his eyes for her to fire another shot. “Come on, we are waiting for you.”
With that, K simply put his hand around Feng Ling’s neck and said to her ear, “You’re so thin. I really doubt how you can bear the explosive force of the sniper rifle.”
Feng Ling was about to speak but suddenly someone separated the two of them with a great force from behind. She was stunned and looked back at Qiao Fei who came from nowhere, asking blankly, “Deputy Drillmaster Qiao?”
Qiao Fei took a look at her. “What did you do just now?”
K thought about it for a long time and didn’t know what he did wrong. Shaken off by Qiao Fei with such great force, he looked in confusion at the other three men who were also stunned and then at Feng Ling who was deadpan as usual. He coughed, turned around and said, “Br… Brother Qiao, I didn’t do anything…”
Qiao Fei was an easy-going and approachable man. Except for training occasions, everyone liked to call him Brother Qiao. K still didn’t know how he offended him. Hearing K called him Brother Qiao, Qiao Fei still looked angry. He said with a warning tone, “Don’t cuddle around in the training ground. There are people visiting the base today. Don’t damage the image of the sniper team.”
