She remembered the woman’s voice. She was Dr. Wen’s sister.
“Don’t move. I’m applying medicine to your wound.”
The voice inside went on.
“Do you have to be so meticulous?”
“Nonsense, your arm was injured first, and then your ligaments were strained. If you don’t pay attention, your arm will be useless!”
Li Nanheng looked at the woman who was seriously helping him with medicine and sat there with no expression on his face, letting her applied the ointment.
“Forget it, I surrender. Remember not to use this arm in the short term. If it’s sprained or injured again, you must come to me as soon as possible!”
Li Nanheng snorted. “Got it, I’m not a kid, so you don’t have to so worry about me.”
“When you were a kid, you were easier to get along. The older you get, the more difficult you become,” the woman said as she applied the medicine on his wound and straightened up.
Li Nanheng was almost exhausted from the mission. Besides, he didn’t sleep very well these days. Now he finally got a chance to rest quietly, but this woman just kept chattering beside him.
He closed his eyes and didn’t speak again, letting her take the gauze to re-bundle his wound.
“Isn’t the Li family asking you to go back? Why do you insist on staying at XI Base?” After the female doctor finished dressing his wound, she gently rubbed his wrist to relieve the pain.
Li Nanheng didn’t answer with his eyes closed, but then there was a sudden tingling on his wrist. He opened his eyes and saw that this woman was deliberately pressing his wrist. He immediately took back his hand and said indifferently, “Xiao Qing, when will your brother come back? He’s been away from the base too long this time.”
Wen Leqing raised her eyebrows, looked at him, then glanced at his arm that he pulled away, and smiled. “What? Why are you in such a hurry to get my brother back? If he doesn’t come back, I’ll be the doctor here. Isn’t it the same?”
“You are a woman. The members of the base are all men. It is not convenient for you to live here alone.”
“I don’t mind. Aren’t you here? This medical room is my brother’s territory. Who dares to do anything to me?” Wen Leqing said as she reached out and pulled his arm. “Don’t dodge. I’m massaging it for you.”
“No need.” Li Nanheng avoided her hand and said deadpan, “Is the medicine ready? Give me the medicine, and I will change it myself from tomorrow on.”
Wen Leqing’s hand paused. She looked at him, withdrew her hand, and stood at the table. “Do you have to be so cold to me?”
Wen Leqing was the same age as Li Nanheng. Although the Wen family was not as powerful as the Li family, they had known each other since they were very young. Besides, Dr. Wen was working in the base, so Wen Leqing was very familiar with Li Nanheng no matter when she was in school or at work.
In public, Wen Leqing called him Li Nanheng or Mr. Li, but privately, she called him Nanheng.
And then she began to call him Little Lili or Little Hengheng. Although Li Nanheng never responded to this kind of ridiculous nicknames, she was still used to calling him like this. He was very tolerant of her anyway.
Hearing her calling Boss that, the members of the base rumored that Boss Li and Dr. Wen’s sister were in love. Even if Boss Li seemed cold to Dr. Wen’s sister, she apparently fell for Boss Li. Otherwise, why would she come here so frequently?
Besides, she had now graduated from school and worked as a doctor in the largest hospital in Los Angeles, but she would come to the base and dress dirty wounds for the base members whenever she got time.
Fortunately, there was a rule in the base that the time for the members’ family to visit the base was limited. Otherwise, Miss Wen would have taken the base as her home.
Feng Ling stood for a while outside the door. The door of the medical room wasn’t tightly closed. When she walked closer, she could see the two inside through the gap in the door.
She saw Miss Wen forcibly take Li Nanheng’s arm and massaged his wrist for him.
The doctor in the white skirt was beautiful and graceful; she wore light makeup and had a thin layer of lipstick. She massaged Li Nanheng’s wrist and said, “You should learn from my brother. He graduated from a medical university like me, but he preferred an easy and casual life to working like a horse in the hospital, so he chose to stay in XI Base and enjoy his life. As far as I know, the salary here is higher than in the hospital, and everyday work is easy. Isn’t it wonderful? I don’t think it’s essential to pushing ourselves so hard in life. If you like an easier life, you can choose slow-paced and easy work. Why do we have to make ourselves a taut spring? Isn’t it too tiring?”
“And I heard my brother say that most of the other members of the base came here because of intensive training, muscle strain, or heat stroke. Only you, although you usually looked casual, whenever there was a danger, you would always be the first to rush forward and ended up being injured. New wounds added to old ones. You do know you’re still a human, right? Do you think you’re Iron Man?”
It was very late now, and it was midnight when Li Nanheng returned from the mission, and it was past midnight.
At midnight, all was quiet in the base. And the young boss of the base was in the same room as the pretty young doctor. Obviously, the two had a thing for each other.
Feng Ling hurried to change clothes just now. Her messy short hair covered her forehead and ears.
It made her look like a tomboy, and she and the beautiful female doctor inside were just like mud and clouds.
Xiao Xu said Boss Li was into her.
Now when she looked at this graceful doctor, she thought it was just impossible.
Maybe it was just a silly gossip in private. Nowadays, even two men could be misunderstood as lovers.
Xiao Xu must have misunderstood something.
Feng Ling stood outside the door and saw the man who was always as cold as an iceberg sitting on the chair at the table with his eyes closed and looking relaxed.
He completely gave himself to this beautiful doctor, letting her hand apply the medicated oil on his wrist and massaging it repeatedly.
From the way this Miss Wen spoke to him, they should be very familiar, and this relationship has been established for many years.
Feng Ling didn’t know why she suddenly felt suffocated. She wanted to run away, but her feet were too heavy to lift. She was in a dilemma.
