Feng Ling was surprised, and then she saw the man come out half-naked.
She thought he would take a shower inside and wouldn’t come out in a short time.
She quickly moved her hand from the suitcase and looked at the man’s bare upper body again, coughing awkwardly. “Boss, I’m looking for a change of clothes for you.”
“No need. I brought clothes with me.” The man walked to the table, picked up a black bag, and took out a new T-s.h.i.+rt and loose shorts.
Feng Ling’s eyelids twitched. It turned out that it was his clothes in the bag that he asked Fattie to bring when the members went to fetch the oven.
“Boss …” She stood up slowly by the bed, staring at the clothes in his hand and asked, “Aren’t you just staying here for one night? How long are you planning to stay here?”
Li Nanheng walked towards the bathroom and said lightly, “After we sent you here, the U.S. military sent us a notice that many gangsters are stationing here. Although they haven’t caused any trouble yet, I’ll stay here with your guys for some time lest you’ll be put in danger…”
Without further explanation, the man went straight into her small bathroom.
Stay with your guys for some time…
So he could stay as long as he wanted. It might be two or three days or even two or three months. It was up to him.
Feng Ling secretly sighed, and when she looked at the bed that could contain two people, her eyelids jumped again.
If Boss would stay here for some time, she must get a folding bed over. Otherwise, she would have to share the same bed as him!
She still remembered last time when she went into his room to deliver him wine; he treated her that way although he was sober. If he shared the same bed as her, she couldn’t imagine what would happen!
She couldn’t live with the seven other people, because they would find out her real s.e.x, but it was even more dangerous if she lived with Boss.
Now, she couldn’t live in the other tent nor blatantly asked Boss to live there…
Feng Ling bent over and sighed but dared not take the suitcase away because Boss Li should have noticed her movement, and if he found this suitcase was taken away, it would arouse his suspicion. She might as well not touch it.
She would have to wait for him to leave the tent tomorrow before putting on the chest wrap.
She glanced at her winter clothes and froze for a while beside the bed. Hearing the sound of water coming from the simple bathroom, she immediately remembered what Li Nanheng said that day: “What do you think I did in the bathroom?”
Feng Ling’s ears suddenly turned hot, and she turned and went out. After running four or five laps outside the tent, she sat directly in the white snow, leaned back, and lay in the snow, looking at the stars in the sky.
Although she was located on the border of Montana, although there were many cliffs in this place, although it was very cold, she was still under the same sky. The stars wouldn’t change no matter the location
She lay down for a long while, but it was too cold for her to fall asleep. Feng Ling watched the white breath she exhaled and remained motionless.
Suddenly she heard creaking walking sounds, which she had been used to in this place these days.
Before turning her face, she saw Li Nanheng enter her line of sight.
The man had taken a bath and changed. Now he wore a thick black uniform instead of the winter jacket. He put his hands in his pants’ pockets, walked up to her, and looked down on the boy lying on the ground. “What? You don’t want to sleep on the same bed as me? Are you going to sleep here?”
Feng Ling sat up, patted the snow on her sleeves and legs, and then struggled to get up. She shook off the snow on her body and looked up at him. “Boss, have you finished your bath?”
Li Nanheng glanced at her. “Yes, won’t you go in and take a bath?”
“No.” Feng Ling said, avoiding his gaze and walking towards the tent; she sounded a little embarra.s.sed. “The living conditions here are not as good as at the base. Even if there is no shortage of water, it’s such a waste of water to take a bath two or three times a day, and I don’t sweat in this place, so I don’t have to bathe so frequently.”
Watching the little black bear shuffle to the door of the tent, and walked in muttering, Li Nanheng couldn’t help but smile. Knowing that Feng Ling wouldn’t take a shower tonight, he said nothing and walked back.
The tent was fairly warm. Li Nanheng took off the black uniform and lay directly on the bed only in a short-sleeved black T-s.h.i.+rt and shorts. After lying down, he tried the softness of the bed. Umm, not bad. The bed was quite thick, and it was comfortable to lie on.
“Are you sleeping outside or inside?” The man pillowed his arms, looking so comfortable. He glanced at Feng Ling, who was still standing by the door like a little bear.
“Ah?” Feng Ling thought he meant outside or inside the tent. When she was about to speak, she realized that he was asking whether he was sleeping on the outside or inside of the bed. She looked at the bed. “I’ll sleep outside. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I will disturb you when I get up at night.”
Li Nanheng moved his body in, but he was so tall that the bed appeared to be small under him. Fortunately, there was a table at the end of the bed. Otherwise, he would have no place to put his feet when he was lying on the bed.
“It’s late. Sleep early.” The man said lightly pillowing his arms and closed his eyes.
Driving all the way here, he was exhausted.
Feng Ling went inside quietly. Although she didn’t take a bath, she took off her winter suit and went inside to wash her face and brush her teeth. When she came out of the bathroom, she put on the thick winter suit again.
Boss Li had been sleeping peacefully in bed and didn’t move at all. She didn’t know whether he had fallen asleep or not. She once lay in a mud ditch together with K for a night when they were on a mission. K had been snorting so loudly, but Boss Li didn’t make such an annoying snore.
She walked over and leaned over to the bed. Hearing Li Nanheng’s steady breathing, she looked at the quilt on the bed and was about to tuck him in.
