After leaving K and the rest, Feng Ling headed to the training ground to pick up her things. From afar, she saw Han Jin passing by.
She waved at Han Jin and made to leave, but was stopped by him. âEh? Feng Ling, youâre not heading out?â
âDrillmaster Han.â Feng Ling nodded toward him. âIâm not that interested in loud gatherings, so I wonât be attending.â
Han Jin chuckled. âThatâs good. The bandages on Bossâs arm needs to be changed. Go to the clinic to pick it up for him. Iâll head to Team One to bring those kids out. This will save time.â
âBoss hasnât fully recovered?â Feng Ling asked. When she saw that Han Jin seemed to be processing her words, she added: âI mean, hasnât Miss Wen been helping him massage his arm daily? In that case, he should be fully healed...â
Han Jin raised his brows: âWhat do you mean by daily massage? Since Boss was injured, he hasnât visited the clinic more than thrice. Twice, he only went because we were worried his wound would be infected, and we forced him there. Afterward, itâs always been Xiao Xu and me making visits to pick up his medicine for him. Boss has been changing his bandages on his own in his room. Besides, Boss and Miss Wen would never...â
Han Jin abruptly forced himself to stop.
He then carefully scanned Feng Ling, who appeared unmoved. Now that he thought about it, he realized that in the years Feng Ling had been in their base, she had never asked about anything, nor did she show interest in anyone or any matter. She always appeared composed, as though she never fluctuated between emotions.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, right now, she was standing still to listen about someone. That day, when Boss went to the clinic in the middle of the night, she had also followed along.
Han Jin suddenly let out a long sigh: âThis, aiya, how do I say this?â
Feng Ling initially thought he was only talking about Bossâs wound and was caught off guard by the change in his tone: âWhat?â
âAi, I donât know how to tell you this.â
âSay it directly.â As Feng Ling watched him, she noticed that there were hidden meanings in his words.
Han Jin shook his head and sighed again. âMiss Wen is not bad. However, first of all, our Boss still has an unresolved marriage contract. Second of all, he has never shown much interest in Miss Wen and has only treated her as Doctor Wenâs sister or a friend. Right now, Miss Wen is in a state of unrequited love. Just thinking of it makes oneâs heart ache for her.â
Feng Ling raised her eyes to watch him. âBoss doesnât like Miss Wen?â
Han Jin continued working hard. âThatâs right. We all feel that Boss should have feelings for her. As they say, when a woman takes the initiative, all of the problems can be easily resolved. Boss Li is the kind that looks cold on the outside but has a warm heart on the inside. He must have long move Miss Wen. Miss Wen is also very patient with him. She knows that Boss doesnât like to have a complicated relationship with friends, so she has always quietly accompanied him as a friend. From the way things are progressing, perhaps one day, she will truly become Mrs. Li.â
Feng Ling expressionlessly glanced toward the training ground; she did not speak.
Han Jin sternly held her shoulders. âFeng Ling, let me tell you, you canât repeat the words I told you to Boss and Miss Wen. Later, when you visit the clinic to retrieve the bandages, you also cannot ask too much. When youâre changing Bossâs bandages, just stay quiet and donât ruin their budding relationship. Do you understand?â
âAll right, I wonât speak carelessly,â Feng Ling answered softly.
âYou have to pay attention. Weâre all excitedly waiting for Miss Wen to become Mrs. Li.â Han Jinâs tone contained some excitement. âItâs rare for Boss to treat anyone so patiently. Miss Wen is one of such people. They should both carefully cherish this fate, donât you think so?â
âThatâs true.â Feng Lingâs tone remained composed. âBoss is really quite apathetic towards others, and he is exceptionally patient toward Miss Wen. Unlike us, even when we shout at him, he barely reacts...â
Han Jin saw that she wasnât correctly processing his words and suddenly became impatient. He slapped his thigh. âAiya, you would be incorrect to say that. Although our Boss is usually impatient toward others, in the years Iâve known him, he has never rushed forward to block a bullet for someone without sparing a thought for his own life.â
Feng Ling raised her head blankly.
Han Jin chuckled and leaned close to her secretively. âIn fact, at times, to display patience is the same as being polite. Being polite is the same as being distant, and being distant means that nothing is going on underneath. The Bossâs attitude has always clearly displayed everything that needs to be said. Itâs just that there is a block of wood in our base that has yet to become enlightened.â
After hearing his words, Feng Ling appeared not to understand as she asked: âWhere did the block of wood come from?â
Han Jin: â...â
Headache.
He suddenly deeply understood why Boss was angry every single day.
If this brat was a girl, perhaps he could toss her on the bed and resolve it all.
But right now, even if he wished to toss Feng Ling on the bed, there seemed to be a bigger problem for him to resolve.
For example, between two men, exactly who was going to push who down...
âOh, by the way, I noticed that Boss seems to be especially unhappy with you again recently. Do you want to work on your relationship with Boss?â Han Jin asked.
Feng Ling raised her eyes. âYes.â
âIâve carefully hidden several bottles of alcohol in my room. Usually, weâre not allowed to drink in the base, so itâs been kept there all this while.â As he spoke, he handed his room key to Feng Ling: âTonight, make him drink a few bottles and see if itâll resolve any misunderstandings between the two of you.â
âWhy do I need to make him drink to resolve our misunderstandings?â
âYou probably wonât understand this, but the atmosphere is important for a conversation between men. When weâre conscious, we wonât say anything honestly. Only after drinking too much will you truly understand what Boss is secretly thinking. Listen to me, bring the alcohol over and head to the cafeteria to pick up a few dishes to go with the drinks.â
âItâs unlikely for Boss to accept the alcohol and food from me.â
âWho cares if he will accept it? Sending them over is a display of your sincerity. Itâs his own business whether or not he wishes to accept it. In any case, itâs still better than the current tension-filled relationship, where he trains you like a machine every day, donât you think?â Han Jin patted her on the back as though to cheer her own: âTrust me. So long as you patiently get Boss drunk, youâll be able to resolve many of the questions you have in your heart!â
âBut-â
âBut what, but! Do you insist on collapsing like a tired out cow on the training ground every evening? Since Iâm giving you an opportunity, just take it! As if Boss can still escape from your palm when he is drunk!â
Feng Ling: â...â
Why did she strangely feel that Han Jinâs words had an alternate meaning?
However, she couldnât clearly understand the hidden words and only stare at him in slight confusion.
Looking at Feng Lingâs confused appearance, Han Jin used another powerful move.
âCome, let me teach you another method.â
âPreviously, werenât you quite successful on that mission where you had to be dressed like a girl? Go put on another set to look for Boss. The moment he sees you, he definitely wonât be able to be harsh on you.â
â...Why do I have to dress like a girl for no reason?â
