Chapter 995: The Story of Ling and Heng (258)
She never thought that this kind of thing would happen to her.
The environment she had been used to suddenly seemed to be an ice cave with ice thorns everywhere, and she felt the pain of being stabbed all over each step she took.
She walked towards the gate of XI Base blankly, wanting to leave here but then stopped. When she walked to the gate, she stared blankly outside the base. Why should I leave? Did I do anything wrong?
If she didn’t do anything wrong, why should she be treated like this?
She didn’t do anything wrong, why does she have to leave?
The girl standing in front of the gate of the base turned and walked back.
She was thinking.
In fact, there were many hints of what Li Nanheng was going to do.
For example, she had early heard about the marriage agreement between the Li family and the Feng family, but when Li Nanheng said he would not marry Feng Mingzhu, she believed it. However, she forgot about the status of the Li family and the Feng family in the Chinese community in the United States. If the marriage agreement was not true, how could such rumors be allowed to spread? Even the noble Miss Feng often talked about it!
For example, Li Nanheng seemed to be very polite to the Feng family people. When she helped Mrs. Feng retrieved her bag, she could feel that Li Nanheng was very respectful to the Feng family people, which meant that the two families were on very good terms.
For example, Li Nanheng just left the base for a few days, but he seemed to be saying goodbye to her before leaving.
Feng Ling stood on the training ground for a while again and looked at her cell phone. It was already more than an hour after Li Nanheng’s usual sleeping time.
She looked at Li Nanheng’s room.
The light in the room was off.
She knew he would not come back at this time. He had already left. How was it possible for him to come back? But just now, she did hope that a miracle would happen and that the light of that room would turn on and Li Nanheng would walk out to the balcony, smoking and looking at her with a smile, and then he would say, ‘You silly girl, how can you believe these stupid rumors?
It wasn’t until she was tired that she looked away from the dark room and walked away.
K didn’t find Feng Ling at night, so he came down and took a look when he heard the gunshots, but still didn’t see her. It wasn’t until Feng Ling went back downstairs that he finally saw her.
Seeing K squatting in front of the door smoking a cigarette, Feng Ling just passed by as if not seeing him.
“Hey, Feng Ling.” Seeing her come back, K quickly stood up and stepped on the cigarette butt. “Let’s go play cards! Tam has called the new drillmaster over! Tomorrow is the weekend! There won’t be many training tasks. Let’s play cards overnight!”
Feng Ling shook her head and walked in steadily.
She didn’t need others to distract her in this way, nor did she need others to accompany her. She knew what she should and should not do.
She just failed to guard her heart when she should.
“Feng Ling, let’s play cards.” K called her again.
“No, I want to go to sleep.”
“Come on! We’re only one person short!”
However, no matter what K said, Feng Ling walked upstairs without looking back.
Seeing Feng Ling like this, K stood still and was a bit helpless. He could see that the relationship between Boss Li and Feng Ling was not a simple brotherhood.
But the elders of the Li family probably wouldn’t accept the fact that Boss Li liked men.
If Boss Li didn’t get married, he failed his elders, but if he did, he failed Feng Ling. He would be blamed no matter what he did.
Feng Ling returned to her room.
But she couldn’t sleep after taking a shower. At midnight, she went out for a run in a white short-sleeved T-shirt. She didn’t know how long she ran. When she was so exhausted that she felt she could fall asleep as soon as she hit the bed, she went back to her room.
After taking a shower, she lay down on the bed again. Although her body was so tired, she still couldn’t fall asleep.
She closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep for a while, but 20 minutes later, she opened her eyes. Although her heart was pounding hard after strenuous exercise, she found that she could not feel her own heartbeat.
She seems to be numb.
She couldn’t sleep, so she simply got up, went to a corner of the room, and opened a cabinet over there. There were three bottles of wine in it, one bottle of liquor, one white wine, and one red wine. Han Jin gifted them to her but she didn’t drink them.
Han Jin had a large collection of wine. When he was in a good mood, he would gift wines to others.
Feng Ling randomly picked out the 58-degree brandy, opened the window, glanced at the black balcony next door, and then leaned on the balcony railing, taking a mouthful of the wine.
She hadn’t drunk this brandy before, and it didn’t taste good, but it didn’t seem as irritating as liquors. After swallowing this mouthful of wine, she felt a trace of sweetness in her mouth, which was not bad.
She never drank but she couldn’t sleep tonight.
Anyway, even if she was too drunk to get out of bed and didn’t go to training tomorrow, K would ask for leave for her.
In short, it didn’t matter even if she got drunk.
Get drunk once.
Once drunk, she would forget everything making her unhappy.
The short-haired girl leaned on the balcony, took a mouthful of the wine in her hand, and swallowed it with a frown.
Then, she drank one mouthful after another.
But even though her eyes were already blurred, she felt that she had never been so sober.
She understood very well that Feng Ling was just an unidentified orphan, who couldn’t bring any benefits to the Li family and didn’t even know how to survive in this world.
The next morning, Feng Ling, who had fallen drunk and slept on the balcony all night, felt a sharp headache. She rolled over and opened her eyes, only to realize that she was sleeping on the balcony.
It was almost three or four degrees below zero last night, and she actually fell asleep here wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt.
Amid the headache of a hangover, she struggled to sit up but suddenly heard a violent and hasty knock on the door!
