“Little Feng…” Auntie Jie Li’s purposely lowered voice came from the other side of the phone. “Oh, I was so scared. It was almost found out just now.”
“What was almost found out?” Feng Ling wondered.
“The two sanitary napkins I gave you. Why did you drop them in the canteen? Two lads found them in the base. Fortunately, I came out and saw it. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what would have happened…”
Feng Ling, who was always calm, was stunned and frowned. She felt about in her body. Sure enough, the sanitary napkins that Auntie Jie Li had given her were gone.
As a girl, she had to use sanitary napkins during her period. She would leave the base on weekends, secretly buy some, and hide them in her room.
Her period was very regular, so she would always prepare some sanitary napkins in advance.
But last month, due to the extreme weather on Rogers Pass, her period came five days in advance…
But she didn’t know it at all. While she was eating alone in the canteen at night, Auntie Jie Li was passing by. She got up to pour water, and suddenly, Auntie Jie Li asked her in a small voice in surprise, “Little Feng, why are you bleeding?”
Feng Ling froze, and when she turned around, she saw a bloodstain on the chair. Auntie Jie Li, who was also a woman, immediately knew what happened.
Feng Ling liked eating the food prepared by Auntie Jie Li and often came to the canteen to help her, so Auntie Jerry was very fond of her. After knowing that Feng Ling was an orphan, she pitied her and treated her like her own son. After she explained to Auntie Jie Li, she promised to cover up for her and gave her two sanitary napkins.
Feng Ling went to the bathroom and used one. Then she put the other in the trouser pocket and returned to her seat to continue to eat as if nothing had happened. Unfortunately, she accidentally dropped it to the ground.
“Who discovered it?” Feng Ling asked nervously, and her eyelids jumped.
“It seems to be two lads from Team Three, but I dispelled their suspicions. I told them that it was mine and I accidentally dropped it in the canteen when I cleaned up. Don’t worry.” Auntie Jie Li said with a smile: “But you must be more careful later. You’re such a daredevil to disguise as a man and live with so many men! Although I helped you today, what if this kind of thing happens again? There are so many people in this base, so are so many eyes. You’re still a little girl, so you are still able to disguise as a man, but as you grow older, your femininity can no longer be hidden. Perhaps one day, they will find out that you’re a girl.”
Feng Ling felt warm in her heart. “I know, I will be more careful in the future. Thank you, Auntie Jie Li. Sorry for the trouble.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter. But my heart was pounding so hard. I really feared they would find out about your real sex… Alas…”
Auntie Jie Li was about to tell her that Boss Li also saw the sanitary napkin just now, but the timer on the cleaning device suddenly rang, so she hurriedly said, “I have to do the cleaning. Let’s talk next time. Be careful, if they find out about your real sex, you will be driven out of the base. I really don’t want to see that happen…”
Feng Ling thanked her again and hung up the phone.
Auntie Jie Li sighed, put the phone in her pocket, and turned to continue to do the cleaning.
However, when she turned around, she was suddenly taken aback and took a step back sharply, looking shocked at the man who was standing behind her.
The tall man was standing two meters away behind her and staring at her coldly. His eyes were like two X-rays, exposing all her lies.
“Bo, Boss… Li…” Auntie Jie Li turned ghastly white, holding her hand on the pole of the cleaner and clenching it more and more tightly
The man’s cold, low voice suddenly sounded. “Who did you give the sanitary napkins to? Who disguised as a man and lived with so many men?”
Auntie Jie Li’s heart was beating wildly, and she felt that a big secret was about to be exposed because of her!
Normally, there was no one at this time in the canteen. She used to clean up here alone, thinking that she was the only person here. Who would expect that Li Boss returned?!
From what he said, it was clear that he was already here when she called Feng Ling!
What should she do…
“Who will be driven out of the base after being found?” The man frowned, and his eyes were cold and deep.
Auntie Jie Li clenched the pole of the cleaner, not knowing what to say.
She covered up for Feng Ling because she liked that child.
But it was also her duty to tell the truth to the boss of XI Base. After all, it was the base that gave her this well-paid job.
Li Nanheng came back again. He must have long suspected Feng Ling’s real gender. What he said just now wasn’t his real thoughts.
So was Boss Li… protecting Feng Ling just now?
Looking at Auntie Jie Li’s hesitating look, Li Nanheng’s eyes turned colder. “Tell me the truth.”
Auntie Jie Li bit her lip and didn’t know whether she should say it or not, but Li Nanheng snorted coldly. “Is Feng Ling a girl?”
Although he was asking her, obviously he had known the answer.
If there were too many doubts and coincidences in a person, they were not coincidences or doubts, but substantial evidence.
“Well… well…” Auntie Jie Li’s eyes turned red. She almost burst into tears. She almost wanted to get on her knees, begging him not to kick Feng Ling out of the base.
With red eyes and a trembling voice, she said, “Boss, although I just work in the canteen, I think men and women are the same. As long as a girl can…”
“Cut the crap. Just tell me whether Feng Ling is a girl or not?” Li Nanheng narrowed his eyes coldly, and his clear, cold voice was a little threatening.
