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. “Eh? Feng Ling, you’re not heading out?”

“Drillmaster Han.” Feng Ling nodded toward him. “I’m not that interested in loud gatherings, so I won’t be attending.”

Han Jin chuckled. “That’s good. The bandages on Boss’s arm needs to be changed. Go to the clinic to pick it up for him. I’ll head to Team One to bring those kids out. This will save time.”

“Boss hasn’t fully recovered?” Feng Ling asked. When she saw that Han Jin seemed to be processing her words, she added: “I mean, hasn’t Miss Wen been helping him massage his arm daily? In that case, he should be fully healed…”

Han Jin raised his brows: “What do you mean by daily massage? Since Boss was injured, he hasn’t 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, it’s 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…”

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.

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: “This, aiya, how do I say this?”

Feng Ling initially thought he was only talking about Boss’s wound and was caught off guard by the change in his tone: “What?”

“Ai, I don’t know how to tell you this.”

“Say it directly.” As Feng Ling watched him, she noticed that there were hidden meanings in his words.

Han Jin shook his head and sighed again. “Miss 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 Wen’s sister or a friend. Right now, Miss Wen is in a state of unrequited love. Just thinking of it makes one’s heart ache for her.”

Feng Ling raised her eyes to watch him. “Boss doesn’t like Miss Wen?”

Han Jin continued working hard. “That’s 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 doesn’t 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.”

Feng Ling expressionlessly glanced toward the training ground; she did not speak.

Han Jin sternly held her shoulders. “Feng Ling, let me tell you, you can’t 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 you’re changing Boss’s bandages, just stay quiet and don’t ruin their budding relationship. Do you understand?”

“All right, I won’t speak carelessly,” Feng Ling answered softly.

“You have to pay attention. We’re all excitedly waiting for Miss Wen to become Mrs. Li.” Han Jin’s tone contained some excitement. “It’s rare for Boss to treat anyone so patiently. Miss Wen is one of such people. They should both carefully cherish this fate, don’t you think so?”

“That’s true.” Feng Ling’s tone remained composed. “Boss 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…”

Han Jin saw that she wasn’t correctly processing his words and suddenly became impatient. He slapped his thigh. “Aiya, you would be incorrect to say that. Although our Boss is usually impatient toward others, in the years I’ve known him, he has never rushed forward to block a bullet for someone without sparing a thought for his own life.”

Feng Ling raised her head blankly.

Han Jin chuckled and leaned close to her secretively. “In 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 Boss’s attitude has always clearly displayed everything that needs to be said. It’s just that there is a block of wood in our base that has yet to become enlightened.”

After hearing his words, Feng Ling appeared not to understand as she asked: “Where did the block of wood come from?”

Han Jin: “…”

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…

“Oh, 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?” Han Jin asked.

Feng Ling raised her eyes. “Yes.”

“I’ve carefully hidden several bottles of alcohol in my room. Usually, we’re not allowed to drink in the base, so it’s been kept there all this while.” As he spoke, he handed his room key to Feng Ling: “Tonight, make him drink a few bottles and see if it’ll resolve any misunderstandings between the two of you.”

“Why do I need to make him drink to resolve our misunderstandings?”

“You probably won’t understand this, but the atmosphere is important for a conversation between men. When we’re conscious, we won’t 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.”

“It’s unlikely for Boss to accept the alcohol and food from me.”

“Who cares if he will accept it? Sending them over is a display of your sincerity. It’s his own business whether or not he wishes to accept it. In any case, it’s still better than the current tension-filled relationship, where he trains you like a machine every day, don’t you think?” Han Jin patted her on the back as though to cheer her own: “Trust me. So long as you patiently get Boss drunk, you’ll be able to resolve many of the questions you have in your heart!”

“But-”

“But what, but! Do you insist on collapsing like a tired out cow on the training ground every evening? Since I’m giving you an opportunity, just take it! As if Boss can still escape from your palm when he is drunk!”

Feng Ling: “…”

Why did she strangely feel that Han Jin’s words had an alternate meaning?

However, she couldn’t clearly understand the hidden words and only stare at him in slight confusion.

Looking at Feng Ling’s confused appearance, Han Jin used another powerful move.

“Come, let me teach you another method.”

“Previously, weren’t 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 won’t be able to be harsh on you.”

“…Why do I have to dress like a girl for no reason?”
