Qiao Fei paused and was about to speak, but Li Nanheng didn’t turn his head and walked over.
Feng Ling was sitting on a chair resting with her eyes closed when she felt someone standing in front of her. She opened her eyes, only to see the one who made her have insomnia.
Li Nanheng put a hand in his trousers pocket, his eyes lowered and dark. His healthy complexion was fairer in such blazing sunlight, and he looked just like a dangerous yet charming vampire who appeared in the sun. When he stood backlit, he looked even more indifferent and casual. “Didn’t you a.s.sure me that your physical strength is up to the standard? The morning training has just started, and you are already so tired that you even need to take a nap?”
When Feng Ling heard this, the tiredness in her eyes dissipated instantly. She didn’t want to mention that she hadn’t slept well last night but said: “Drillmaster Qiao told me to take a rest, so I sat here for a while, taking advantage of the limited time to replenish myself with energy.”
Li Nanheng said coldly, “Get up.”
Feng Ling immediately stood up.
“Continue with the training.”
Feng Ling glanced at the other four people resting, then to the middle of the empty training ground. “Drillmaster Qiao said—”
“Is your boss Qiao Fei or me?” When the man heard her say ‘Drillmaster Qiao,’ his eyes turned icy instantly.
Feng Ling felt as if the hot air above her head was frozen. She looked up at him, but he turned his eyes away and no longer looked at her, but obviously, he insisted that she should continue with the training.
Feng Ling fell silent for a moment, and without any word, she turned around and went back to the training ground to continue to practice the movements alone.
Qiao Fei went to fetch a bottle of mineral water and came back. When he saw Feng Ling training on the ground alone, he was surprised and asked her from a distance, “Didn’t I tell you to rest for half an hour? Why are you there alone?”
Getting no response from Fei Ling, Qiao Fei felt it was not right, and then he saw Boss Li standing with his arms around his chest and expressionlessly looking at Feng Ling.
Tam approached K and whispered to him, “What’s going on here? Did Feng Ling offend Boss?”
K was confused too. He looked at Feng Ling and then at Boss Li, who seemed particularly grumpy today, and said, “I’ve got no idea.”
Of course, he didn’t know.
He remembered that Boss was very nice to Feng Ling, but why did he look like he hated Feng Ling?
Gee, he didn’t quite understand the feelings between men.
After all, it was Boss’s order, and Qiao Fei couldn’t disobey it. He walked over and took a glance, saying, “Let’s take a break. Come drink some water.”
Then he turned around and handed out the water to the four other members. Then he pa.s.sed a bottle of water to Boss Li, planning to give one to Feng Ling so that she could take a break.
However, when he pa.s.sed the mineral water bottle to Li Nanheng, he didn’t even look at it, nor did he want to take it.
Qiao Fei raised his eyebrows. Knowing what kind of a person Boss was, Qiao Fei didn’t feel embarra.s.sed. He retracted the water, played with it casually, and said, “Feng Ling, come over and drink some water.”
Feng Ling glanced at him. Before she lowered her arms, Li Nanheng suddenly shouted, “Continue.”
Feng Ling exhaled a long breath.
Fine, she would continue.
For some reason, Boss was very grumpy today, and Feng Ling was not in a good state either, but she just gritted her teeth and said nothing, continuing to practice.
Half an hour later, the break time was over, and the other four returned to the training ground, but Feng Ling was still not allowed to stop.
The morning had pa.s.sed, and it was almost 11 o’clock. They had practiced for a few hours. The other four had taken a break midway, but Feng Ling, who was not in a good state, had not even taken a break.
Qiao Fei didn’t dare to speak for Feng Ling at first, but when he saw the blazing sun, he couldn’t help but turn to Li Nanheng and say: “Boss, it’s almost noon, let them rest for a while and go to lunch. Otherwise, they’ll get sunstroke. Then…”
“Do you think XI Base is a holiday resort? They need a rest when they’re tired, and they have to eat when they’re hungry. Shall I arrange a spring bath for them when they sweat?” Li Nanheng’s face looked terrifyingly cold and oppressing under the hot sun, and his usual n.o.ble and casual manner was gone entirely.
“But Feng Ling…”
“What is so special about him, so special that you need to give him such special care?” Li Nanheng’s stare fell on his face. His voice sounded mild and was so low that only Qiao Fei could hear. “Or, do you know something about him that I don’t?”
Although his voice was low, Qiao Fei noticed that his eyes were freezing when he looked at his eyes.
Know something about Feng Ling?
“Boss, it’s my duty to take care of the members of the sniper team, I…”
Li Nanheng suddenly smiled, but his eyes were cold. “I have warned you more than once, put away your excessive concern, XI Base does not need a waste.”
“Feng Ling performed very well in various tasks, large and small, and his physical fitness was better than when he first entered the base. How could he be a waste? He is even better than many newcomers who entered the base at the same time as him! This matter hasn’t only been emphasized by me alone!”
Qiao Fei stepped forward and stood in Li Nanheng’s way when he turned around deadpan. “Also, what did you mean by ‘I know something about Feng Ling’? Is there anything unspeakable about Feng Ling? Or is there something I don’t know that Boss needs to remind me?”
Li Nanheng pushed his shoulder away indifferently. “You’d better not know.”
With that, he turned and walked out of the training ground.
Qiao Fei looked at his back quietly, tried to hold back his anger, and asked again, “Let them go to the canteen to rest before twelve o’clock, OK?”
The man didn’t reply, his receding figure was as cold as snow on the peak of a mountain, and his footsteps had gone far.
Qiao Fei withdrew his gaze, then turned his eyes to Feng Ling, who was still training and sighed.
What happened?
Has Boss found out that she was actually a girl…

Half an hour later, at twelve, Qiao Fei asked the members to rest and then go to the canteen for lunch.
After arriving at the base’s canteen, Feng Ling felt a buzz in her head because she didn’t sleep well last night and had just had a whole morning of intensive training. Noticing that she couldn’t even hold the dinner plate, Qiao Fei asked her to sit down first and said he would help her take some food.
Soon after, he brought the dinner plate full of dishes to her, and Feng Ling raised her eyes and said thank you. Then out of the corner of her eyes, she suddenly saw a car pa.s.sing by quickly outside the canteen.
