"That's her own business. Do you think it will be useful if I ask Mr. Rited to ask her to be a bodyguard and let her go to the city hall?" Li Nanheng said coldly.
Ah Feng laughed twice: "Others can't understand this, but we can. You knew a long time ago that Mr. Rited and his family were thinking of Feng Ling's kindness when he saved them, and used this matter to help them." She laid a bait and successfully lured Feng Ling back to Los Angeles from Boston. It seemed like she had nothing, but she actually made a smart calculation and helped her pave the way for her by guiding the relationship between the Literde couple. Also help her pave the way back to the base, so that when the election time comes, she can take her back to the base—"
"Yes, boss, you obviously still miss her in your heart. Why do you have to be so cold now, as if nothing happened?"
"You are thinking too much." Li Nanheng stood there calmly and glanced at A Feng for the last time: "Don't mention this name in front of me again, and try to see if I will tell the Li family that you are here again. You are neglecting your duty here and I want you to go back to the Li family."
"..." Ah Feng was about to curse, but before he could curse, he saw Li Nanheng's leaving figure.
It was obviously him who had paved the way for Feng Ling a long time ago, but now he looked back and refused to admit it.
So fucking infuriating.
Li Nanheng walked very quickly and walked out of the base hall in a few steps. Under the scorching sun in the morning, his face was as frozen as frost. He walked back with only one thought in his mind -
When Feng Ling left the base, she had to get back what she lost.
And she did.
She has a proud character and is extremely strong at heart. If someone hurts her once, even if they repay it a thousand times, it will be of no use. The thing she wants to deny is equivalent to non-existence.
She only wants to rely on herself in everything she does, and doesn't want to ask anyone for help. She even doesn't want to come back to Base XI.
She could obviously come back through the road he paved for her, but until now, she still refused.
It's so stubborn and stupid.
Li Nanheng sneered, but at this point, he laughed at himself again.
No.
In fact, there is someone more stubborn and stupid than her.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen headlong into her pit, and couldn't climb out even if my head was broken and bleeding.
…
Feng Ling waited outside the door of his room for a long time, not knowing when he would come back. She wanted to wait in the room next door where she had lived, but found that the door was locked.
It seems that the door was locked when she arrived that day. Unless she agreed to live in, the door would always be locked and no one else could enter at will.
There was no place to sit in the corridor. She had been standing for a long time. Even if she had the strength to hold on, it was not like standing all the time. She simply squatted by the wall for a while until her legs went numb. When she was about to stand up, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor. She turned her eyes and glanced in the direction of the stairs. The next second, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down.
The light in the corridor was a little dark, but it was still spacious. Li Nanheng stood there, looking at her coldly.
As soon as Feng Ling caught his gaze, he raised his hands and propped himself against the wall. He secretly hated himself for squatting for nothing. His legs were numb and he couldn't stand steady for a while. This posture was a bit awkward.
Looking at him again, I felt as if I could be frozen into ice under his gaze.
The person who had almost died with her in the Boston jungle nine months ago was standing there, looking at her expressionlessly and calmly.
It wasn't until the moment they finally met that Feng Ling realized as never before that the occasional encounters between her and Li Nanheng in the past nine months were basically equivalent to never seeing each other before, and even the occasional exchange of glances was very unfamiliar. Alienated.
In her mind, when Li Nanheng wanted to bully her, he just dragged her out in the middle of the night, subjected her to devil training, exhausted her energy, and watched her lying on the ground so tired that she couldn't get up. Then he waited condescendingly for her to beg for mercy.
Or it was his frankness, his indifference to others, his high-spiritedness, and his patience with her. At that time, he only had her in his eyes, and wherever she passed by, his eyes would follow her.
However, at this moment, the man standing expressionless at the top of the stairs, wearing a black battle uniform, with neat short hair, and strong and handsome facial features, seemed to be still the same person as before, but also seemed to be different from him before.
His hair was very short before, but now it seems to be much shorter and neat.
Compared with nine months ago when he looked too thin and haggard when he was seriously injured, now he looks like before, just standing there upright, and he seems to have a hidden sense of strength.
The temperament seems to be different.
It can’t be said to be temperament.
It can only be said that when he stood in front of her, his eyes and attitude were indifferent and distant.
He stood there expressionless, his eyes meeting hers in mid-air, neither sad nor happy, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Such eyes reminded Feng Ling of the dinner party she attended with Mr. and Mrs. Rittard a few months ago. They had the same look at each other at that time, but there was no emotion in his eyes. They were so cold that she doubted whether there would be anyone else in the world. The second person looks exactly like him, otherwise why would he be so cold
Now that she saw him standing here, the numbness in Feng Ling's legs disappeared and she stood up straight.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind, but only for a few seconds.
She looked at him and said directly: "I heard that Mr. Mo is planning to select a capable person in the XI base to go to Haicheng to protect Mrs. Mo's safety. Mrs. Mo is a woman after all, and it will be more convenient if there is a female bodyguard by her side. I I plan to go to Haicheng to take over this bodyguard job, please sign for me."
After finishing speaking, Feng Ling looked away, tried to steady his mind, and continued to stand there and said, "As long as you sign for me, I can leave right away."
Li Nanheng glanced at her distantly, then looked away from her, and walked straight over, but did not stand in front of her, but passed her by and arrived at the door of his own room. He opened the door, walked in without looking back, and closed the door without saying a word.
Feng Ling stood outside the door and looked at the closed door. He was stunned for more than ten seconds, his heartbeat stagnated, and the calmness he had just maintained on his face suddenly collapsed.
"Remember what you said today."
The words that the man said in a mute voice in her ear before he was seriously injured and fell into coma echoed in her ears again.
The brief passing by each other, like a stranger's attitude, separated the past and the present into a Chu River and Han boundary.
