Feng Ling leaned against the bed and replied to the messages one by one.
Li Nanheng called the hotel staff to come in and push the food cart away. After a while, someone came, and the room fell silent again.
Feng Ling had been lying on the bed and covered herself with the quilt. Li Nanheng poured a glass of warm water and sat down by the bed. He placed the glass on the bedside table. “Your body temperature is still around 37.5 degrees. It’s still low. Drink more water.”
Feng Ling did not respond, nor did she look up at him. She just kept silent.
Li Nanheng sighed. The problem between him and Feng Ling was not actually that big. At first, she was indeed very angry, but after all, the two of them did not violate any principles. She was only angry that he did not even ask her anything before helping her make the decision for the future and removed her from the base.
But clearly, the fact that he had raped her in the car… had actually caused him a lot of trouble.
Feng Ling had been under the sheets and her fever had yet to completely subside. Occasionally, she would sweat. Li Nanheng sat by her side and watched her silently. She ignored him and did not speak, so he did not speak.
When he saw that she was sweating again, her long hair was pressed against her neck and shoulders because she was leaning against the bed. Although she looked especially seductive to the man, she didn’t look too comfortable.
In the past, Feng Ling always had short hair. When she was in the jungle, her hair was only past her chin. Now, she was considered to have long hair. Li Nanheng had never seen her like this before.
She kept looking at her cell phone. He looked at her for a while and saw that she occasionally raised her hand to push her hair back. After making several calls, Li Nanheng got up and left.
Feng Ling didn’t care where he was going. After resting here for a night, she would return to the Feng family tomorrow. She still had nothing to do with him.
After about ten minutes, Li Nanheng came back. Feng Ling didn’t even look at him. The man walked back to the bed and said, “Sit up.”
Feng Ling looked up at him. “What are you doing?”
However, she subconsciously sat up.
At this moment, the man walked around the bed and leaned over, lifting up her hair that was wrapped around her neck because she was sweating. She then felt the man clumsily combing her hair.
Feng Ling seemed to have heard the sound of a rubber band being tossed back and forth in the man’s hand, but he couldn’t tie her hair up even after fiddling with it for a long time.
Feng Ling :”…”
“Li Nanheng, what are you doing?” She couldn’t help asking coldly.
The man was tortured by her hair for several minutes but still couldn’t tie it into a proper ponytail. He frowned and said as though he had encountered an epic problem, “I saw that your neck was uncomfortable, so I wanted to comb your hair. How do you use this thing?”
Feng Ling :”…”
Ji Nuan had once used Li Nanheng’s name to describe straight men. Now she finally understood.
Li Nanheng, who usually dealt with the internal and external injuries of the base members and could even wrap bandages like a doctor, was defeated by a rubber band that only women would use.
So did he go out just now to find something for her to comb her hair?
Feng Ling took the rubber band from him and said expressionlessly, “Let go of my hair. I’ll do it myself.”
Hearing this, Li Nanheng immediately loosened his grip. Then he saw Feng Ling skillfully comb her smooth hair behind her head. The rubber band, which was as difficult as ascending to heaven in his hands, was easily fixed in her hands.
After fixing her hair, her neck felt clean and comfortable. Feng Ling picked up her phone again and turned to look at the man standing by the bed.
He knew he had done something wrong.
One step at a time?
What was the use?
Feng Ling continued to ignore him, but when she sat back on the bed, she lifted her hair and tucked it behind her ear. She suddenly felt that she had never experienced such a headache because of her long hair. This was the first time she combed her hair like this in front of Li Nanheng.
She glanced at him again and asked, “Where did you get the rubber band?”
“When I went downstairs, I met a little girl around four or five years old. She happened to be holding a newly bought rubber band in her hand. I bought a Mini Doll from the shop counter in the hotel lobby and asked her to give me a rubber band.” Li Nanheng sat back on the bed.
A rubber band was not even worth fifty cents. Typically, the things in this kind of hotel lobby and shopping cabinets were all very expensive. Even the original Mini Doll cost at least several hundred yuan.
Feng Ling was speechless at the hundreds of yuan worth rubber band on her head.
“Mr. Li, your ‘equivalent exchange’ is really not ordinary.” Feng Ling’s tone was mild, and she said mockingly, “But at least you know how to exchange things with a little girl, not a gun. It seems that you’re not as thorough as a beast.”
Li Nanheng’s expression darkened.
From today onwards, this woman really equated him to those crazy people who forcibly took her away.
He was not angry. He picked up the tube of ointment. “I see that you’ve been looking at your phone all day. You should be going to sleep soon. Why don’t you apply the medicine again?”
Hearing that he was going to apply the medicine, Feng Ling’s slightly cold and mocking attitude immediately disappeared. She looked at him with a tense expression.
Li Nanheng played with the tube of ointment and looked straight into her eyes with a faint smile. “At least I know to take care of you before I separate your legs. It seems that I’m not as thorough as a beast.”
Feng Ling tightened her grip on her phone and looked at him coldly. “Li Nanheng, you’re very proud of bringing me back from England and torturing me like this, aren’t you?”
The man looked into her eyes. “You were removed from XI Base, and I also removed my identity. From the age of thirteen to the age of twenty-three, you, Feng Ling, took root in my place for ten years. In the end, you said that you would attend a dinner party with another man and that you could easily have a candlelit dinner and a rose shop. You were very proud to see me angered, weren’t you?”
With that, Li Nanheng leaned forward on the chair and looked into her eyes. “I’ve loved you for ten years. You broke up with me just like that. Did I agree? En?”
…
