But now, the person in charge of the dignified XI Base and the distinguished young master of the Li family stayed in Boston because of her. He stepped into such a small martial arts club regardless of his own status and image because of her. Thinking of the way the man looked at her, she suddenly lost control of her emotion.
She suddenly felt that human beings were really animals that were easily dominated by emotions.
People who shouldnât have feelings shouldnât have so many burdens.
He was already married, wasnât he?
She didnât dream of marrying him even when they were in love, not to mention that he had been married for two years.
The water rattled and distracted her. Suppressing the surging waves in the sea of her heart, she looked calm.
After finishing the class lasting nearly two hours, she suddenly thought of the words Han Jin said. His words clearly rang in her ears:
âFeng Ling is still young, and most peopleâs first love is fruitless. Even if she knows about this, she will only be sad for a few days.â
âFeng Ling is just an unidentified orphan. We all know she canât be compared with the daughter of the Feng family!â
âSo what? No man will give up so much for a woman, OK?â
âHe doesnât have to marry her just because he likes her, and Feng Ling is not suitable for him.â
âSheâd better not try to squeeze in a world that she wonât fit in. At least, she has enjoyed the sweetness of love and learned a lessonâ-donât trust men easily...â
Most peopleâs first love was fruitless. Han Jin was right.
Li Nanheng just taught her a lesson. She had got what she should get and lost what would never belong to her.
Including her first time that he didnât even remember.
âShe smells of all alcohol. Itâs training time, but she is not on the training ground. And she obviously has a hangover. How dare you say she always adheres to the baseâs rules, and she is a person of integrity?â
âYou should be grateful that we donât strip you naked in front of the members! Do you think you can still stay in XI Base?â
They despised her gender, despised her pretending as a man and staying in the base, despised her hanging out with a bunch of guys, despised her as a parentless orphan, and despised her easily believing in the feelings that were given to her as alms.
She used to believe that Li Nanheng was different.
She thought that she was special to this man who was extremely indifferent to others but spoiled her. She thought he sincerely loved her.
Feng Lingâs hand rested on the icy washbasin, and she kept angrily asking herself why she once thought he was different?!
But the fact was that he was crueler than anyone.
He didnât even explain to her.
Grandfather Li insulted her in front of the entire base and drove her away. It was said that Li Nanheng had been looking for her for two years, but today she saw clearly that this man was actually no different from two years ago. When she had a fever early this morning, he entered her home.
She didnât even know how he copied her key. She always seemed too naive and stupid to fight this man.
His family background and his power enabled him to do anything he wanted. Even if he knew that she didnât want to see him, he still sneaked into her life in a variety of ways. He was so arrogant, trampling her heart and her self-esteem. No matter if he helped, protected her, or hurt her, he just treated her like an ant that could be easily controlled by him.
Two years had passed, and she had already bid farewell to her past.
She wanted to stay far away.
The further away from him, the better.
Feng Ling clenched her hands so tightly that her fingertips turned white.
She just fell in love with the wrong person. It was not a big deal. She shouldnât let it ruin her mood.
She closed her eyes, but in the next second, fragmented scenes appeared out of thin air.
She fell into the manâs bathtub on the steaming room of the orphanage and fought him...
When she first entered the base, she fought the man on the training ground. She attacked him fiercely, but he let her off easily.
He suddenly appeared when she was on the mission and shot her enemies for her. When she crashed into the sea on the cruise ship and was trapped on the island, he suddenly appeared with a helicopter, although he was charging into a more dangerous terrorist camp on the other side.
On the barâs mission, she, wearing womenâs dress, was pressed against the wall and kissed by him. He blocked the bullet for her with his own body...
They lived together day and night on the Rogers Pass. After he killed the military commander, he shielded her behind him and saved her life. When she was almost bitten to death by snakes, he appeared again, rescuing her again...
He said that she was still too young. He asked her to wait for him for three years, and three years later, he would marry her.
Feng Ling opened her eyes, looked at herself in the mirror, and yanked her wet hair back on the forehead. Her delicate and fair face looked a bit handsome because of this action, but then her hair fell back. Although with short hair, she still looked a pretty girl.
She could never be a real man, just like she could never accept a married man.
This was a problem that could never be solved.
Thatâs it, Feng Ling.
He didnât deserve you to think about him anymore.
ââ
Feng Ling returned to class as if nothing happened.
During the noon break, the students came up to help her back to the office to rest, but she declined.
âCoach Ling, is your name Feng Ling? Which Ling is it?â someone asked her.
Feng Ling didnât answer but just glanced at him coldly, and the other party left in embarrassment.
She was about to go back to the office, but she didnât expect the head coach to be waiting for her in the office.
âThe class is over? Why didnât you call me and ask for leave since you felt sick? Itâs only basic training today. I will help you watch the students.â The head coach looked at her eyes. âBy the way, that person is... still outside.â
Feng Ling grunted and didnât say anything, but obviously, she didnât want to see him.
Seeing her sitting back calmly on her desk the head coach asked again, âWho is that person?â
She was silent for a moment. âI donât know. Why are you asking me this?â
âBecause the kid, unlike Chen Beiqing, gave me a strong sense of crisis.â
Feng Ling didnât understand what he meant at first, but after a while, she looked in shock at the head coach who was looking at her seriously and, at the same time, saw the man approaching from behind himââ
