Chapter 973: The Story of Ling and Heng (236)
She opened another bag, where there were two pairs of shoes.
There was a pair of white sneakers and a pair of more casual black canvas shoes, which could go well with any kind of clothes.
These shoes were also women’s.
She opened the other bags and the clothes were not very girlish and were mostly sportswear she liked, but from their colors and styles, they were all for women, quite different from the one she was wearing. The men’s was straight down, while the women’s was curved on the chest and waist.
The styles and colors were simple and elegant, which was acceptable to her.
If he bought her dresses, Feng Ling would immediately return the clothes.
Looking at the clothes, Feng Ling smiled, picked up the two bags on the bottom, and opened one of them.
The moment she opened them, however, the smile on her face froze and the corner of her mouth twitched.
What the h.e.l.l was this?
She picked a pink bra and looked at it. It seemed to suit her well; she looked down at her chest that was not wrapped…
Then she opened the other bag.
Sure enough, it was another bra in it.
One black and one pink. Did he buy her at least two sets of everything for her to change?
The women’s sportswear and sneakers were acceptable, so were the pajamas which were a little girlish. Anyway, she could accept it as long as it was not a night skirt, but this lingerie….
She had long been accustomed to wearing a chest wrap, and she had never worn anything like this except last time when she was “dressed as a woman” in the bar.
Now, Li Nanheng bought her the lingerie…
Feng Ling blushed and stuffed everything back into the bag. Without taking any of it, she turned directly back to the bedroom.
At night, Li Nanheng came out, only to see that the clothing was piled up on the sofa. He glanced at the closed door and walked over to knock on the door.
After knocking for a while, no one responded and he said coldly outside the door, “Do you want me to open the door with the key?”
After a short silence, footsteps rang, and then the door was opened. Feng Ling held a razor in her hand and looked embarra.s.sed.
Li Nanheng looked at what was in her hand and glanced at her. “What are you doing?”
“My hair grew a lot. I want to cut it shorter. I want to shave it into a crew cut.” Feng Ling said while fiddling with the razor in his hand. “Is this rechargeable? Is it out of power? I don’t know how to use it.”
Li Nanheng looked at her, took the razor from her, and threw it onto the sofa not far behind. The razor rolled down from the sofa to the carpet with a m.u.f.fled thud.
“Why do you want to shave your hair? It’s still short,” Li Nanheng said, glancing at her clothes. “I bought you pajamas, right? What are you still wearing this suit?”
Feng Ling was wearing the clothes she wore when she lived here before, which was his loungewear.
But she wore a small vest inside, so she was no longer naked under this loungewear as before because of lack of clothes.
“Can you return those clothes? I don’t want to wear them.” Feng Ling smoothed her hair with her hand. “Boss, I have taken myself as a man since childhood. I’m already used to it. I’m not used to wearing women’s clothes.”
Li Nanheng snorted. “I didn’t force you to wear the clothes you don’t like. They are all sportswear. If you don’t like them, throw them out tomorrow morning. I don’t want to return them.”
Feng Ling: “…”
The man looked at her again. “Are you going to be a man all your life?”
Feng Ling looked back at him. “I don’t know. I never think about it. I lived with a wolf when I was a kid, and after being taken out of the jungle by others, all I know is to feed and protect myself but nothing else.”
“I just want to ask you, do you want to be a man, or become a normal eighteen-year-old woman?”
A normal eighteen-year-old woman?
Was it her?
Could she?
Li Nanheng stroked her hair. “Don’t shave your hair anymore. There are many boys who like to have long hair. You don’t have to make your hair short to cover up your gender. People will find out about your real gender sooner or later. Using hair as a cover-up might work before but not now.”
Feng Ling didn’t speak.
“I’ll give you one night to think about it. Do you want to continue to be a man or return to the life that a normal girl should have? I can help you with whatever you want. Think about it yourself.”
Feng Ling didn’t quite understand what he meant and just looked at him blankly.
Could he help with whatever she wanted?
Even if she might want to live as a man forever?
Looking into his eyes, Feng Ling didn’t answer immediately but looked outside the door.
Li Nanheng went out, looked at the bags stacked on the sofa, and then looked back at her who had walked out of the door. “Just take these. The closet in your bedroom is empty. Put them in it in case you may want to wear them one day.”
Then, he didn’t say anymore and went straight to the study.
The door of the study was not closed. Feng Ling knew that Boss Li was usually talking with people in the base or transferring files when he was in the study. There was a computer on it. He had to deal with some emergency situations in the base and the Li Corporation at any time.
Feng Ling came out and stood beside the sofa looking at those clothes. In the end, she decided not to reject Boss Li’s kindness. From the style of the clothes he bought her, he was trying to help her to slowly get used to women’s clothes instead of buying a skirt and forcing her to put it on.
She tiptoed to bring those clothes into her bedroom so as not to disturb Boss Li. When she took the last bag in, she quietly closed the door and put away the clothes into the closet. When she was going to put the pink lingerie into the closet, she suddenly paused.
Feng Ling looked at the lingerie in her hand whose size suited her and knew why Li Nanheng knew her size.
Last time he kissed her in the bar, he stroked her chest… for a long while…
