The manâs eyes were unfocused, but this house was not big, and there were not many things inside. There were not many obstacles, and the bed was quite close to this place. He must have felt his way here.
The moment the door opened, Feng Ling froze.
It was Li Nanheng.
However, his face was as white as paper. There was a bit of blood on one side of his face, and there was also blood on his forehead. The cotton clothes on his body should have just been changed. They were so clean that there was not a trace of blood. He had lost a lot of weight, and there was also an obvious stubble around his chin. Although his eyes were open, they were as calm as a lake of stagnant water, unmoving.
âAh, why did you get off the bed!â Carrie exclaimed softly and rushed to help him up.
However, the man in the door only placed one hand on the door and opened his unfocused eyes. When Carrie approached, he raised his hand and held her hand.
âI heard some noise outside, so I came out to take a look.â Li Nanhengâs voice was hoarse to the point where she could barely hear him. However, the surroundings were very quiet. His short words sounded very clear.
Carrie was startled by his sudden grip on her hand. Her face turned strangely red, and she appeared embarrassed. Before she could speak, Li Nanheng held her hand and said, âDid that person disturb you again?â
That person?
Feng Lingâs gaze was fixed on Li Nanhengâs face. From the initial surprise to shock, she was only concerned about his condition earlier. Now, she suddenly noticed where his hand was placed.
He was so intimate that he seemed to be very dependent on Carrie. Half of his body was almost leaning against Carrie. He held her with one hand and supported himself against the door with the other. His movements were so natural that it was as though Carrie was the woman he trusted the most and felt safest with.
âUh... yes, sheâs here again. It seems like she was going to barge in just now. Did she wake you up...,â Carrie said as she supported him.â Let me help you back to bed. How can you get off the bed now...â
Li Nanheng stood by the door without moving. He opened his dead eyes and âlookedâ at the person standing outside the door: âLeave. Donât come back.â
Feng Ling stared at his face and his eyes: âLi Nanheng.â
The manâs expression was calm, and his voice was indifferent as though he had never known her. âI donât know you.â
âSo, did you lose your memory?â Feng Ling slowly clenched her fists by her side and stared at him. âLi Nanheng, you donât remember me, you donât remember yourself, you donât remember XI Base and everything, right?â
The man stood by the door without moving or speaking.
âAll right, all right. Donât say anymore. His body canât take it!â Carrie felt that the manâs body was starting to become unable to hold on anymore. She quietly turned and hurriedly supported him while turning to look at Feng Ling. âYouâve seen him this time. Youâve said what you needed to say. If he says he doesnât know you, he doesnât know you! Is that enough?â
With that, Carrie supported him with one hand and rushed to close the door with the other.
Feng Ling abruptly stepped forward and pressed her hand against the door. She stared at the man who could not see her: âLi Nanheng! Iâm here to bring you back to America! Must you do this?â
âAre you done? A man doesnât even want to see you or know you, yet youâre still clinging onto him so shamelessly! Arenât you too shameless!â Carrie glared at her as she spoke. âIf you donât leave, Iâm really going to call someone!â
Feng Ling stared at the man in front of her expressionlessly. She suddenly raised her hand and forcefully tugged the bell by the door down.
Seeing that the woman had easily pulled the bell down, Carrieâs expression immediately changed. âYou...â
âIf it werenât for the fact that you were the one who saved him, you would have been knocked unconscious by me. Please shut up.â Feng Ling turned her eyes and coldly glanced at Carrie again. She then shifted her gaze away and pressed hard against the door. She stared at the silent, pale man: âLi Nanheng, now that the shameless person has become me, are you happy? If you finished venting, come back with me now. You can do whatever you want when you return to America. Donât waste your life here!â
However, the manâs expression never changed. He only took a step back to avoid Feng Lingâs scent. At the same time, he turned his pale face away and lowered his head to whisper hoarsely by Carrieâs ear, âClose the door.â
When Carrie heard his words, she also felt that his bodyâs weight was becoming heavier and heavier. She was afraid that he really could not hold on anymore. She quickly pulled the door bar out with force and raised it to face Feng Ling. âIf you donât leave, Iâm going to hit someone!â
Feng Ling did not even look at her.
âLet me tell you, Iâve been here since I was young. Not only have I learned medicine, but Iâve also learned martial arts from many people! Donât force me to really hit you. Itâs not good to watch two women fight!â
The moment she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her hand strangely empty. The bar suddenly fell into Feng Lingâs hand. At the same time, the bar fell onto the ground, and the strongest wooden bar in their place was instantly split into two.
Carrieâs face shook.
She abruptly raised her head to look at Feng Ling.
Feng Ling, on the other hand, only watched Li Nanheng coldly from beginning to end. It was as though the smooth movements earlier did not originate from her.
âYou... you, you...â Carrieâs face turned pale with anger.â You...ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, at this moment, Li Nanheng raised his hand. Even though he did not have much strength, he still placed his hand on the door. Then, he expressionlessly closed the door bit by bit. When the door slammed against Feng Ling, he turned his eyes away as though he did not see anything. He slammed the door shut and pushed her out.
He did not use much strength, but Feng Ling was forced to take a step back. Her eyes were fixed on Li Nanheng, who had closed the door.
Carrie was dumbstruck. She was still staring at the door when it finally closed.
However, in less than three to five seconds, the man who was barely leaning against her suddenly trembled violently. He suddenly coughed out a large mouthful of blood onto the ground and instantly fell to the ground. She quickly used her hands to support him, but she only managed to grab his arm. She watched as he weakly knelt on the ground, suppressing his coughs and causing blood to gush out of his mouth. She quickly squatted down and whispered while supporting him: âMy god... quick, Iâll help you back to the bed... I said, you canât move. Are you tired of living...â
