Before he could finish his words, the door lock made a click, and then the door slowly opened in front of him.

"Pull."

The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and just as he was about to greet him enthusiastically, he saw a broad chest. His expression froze, and he looked up along the body. When he saw Cui Ling's face, his expression was almost scared to death: "Captain of the team, why are you here?!"

"I was also wondering why you are here," Cui Ling looked at him expressionlessly, "At this time, you should be training with other mercenaries."

"I, I..." The young man was like a student who was caught skipping classes by the dean. He tried desperately to find a reason, but when he met his gaze, his mind went blank.

He is much scarier than the dean.

Cui Ling stared at him indifferently. The young man wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only tell the truth: "I asked Captain Li for leave."

"During training time, he only approves sick leave." Cui Ling had a blank expression on his face, but his aura was fully radiant.

The young man only felt a sense of oppression, and didn't even have the courage to look him in the face: "I asked for... just sick leave."

"Take sick leave to chase women?" Cui Ling's eyes were slightly cold.

The young man almost cried: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you and Xiao... Liang Tan were together. If I knew, I would definitely not dare to come..."

"Don't blur the point. Your mistake was avoiding training, not confessing to her." Cui Ling interrupted him.

The young man nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I know I was wrong, Captain."

"Go back to Li Sheng and receive punishment." Cui Ling said, and then closed the door in his face.

Considering that Liang Tan was still sleeping, he closed the door quietly. However, the young man shuddered and walked downstairs with tears in his eyes, and ended up running into Ellie head-on.

"Why are you in the girls' dormitory?" Ellie was surprised.

When the young man saw her, his face suddenly turned bitter: "Deputy Captain, you have caused me so much trouble."

"What do you mean?" Ellie was puzzled.

The young man opened his mouth to complain, but then he thought of Ai Li's identity, and immediately held back his complaints and begged: "Deputy Captain, can you help me to ask the captain for mercy? I really didn't know that he and Liang Tan had that kind of relationship. If I knew, I would never dare to..."

"Wait a minute, what kind of relationship are they?" Ellie frowned.

"They slept in the same bed, what kind of relationship could they have!" The young man couldn't help getting excited when he heard her question. "Deputy Captain, when you introduced her to me for a blind date, didn't you say that she and the captain didn't have that kind of relationship? Why is it that when I came to see her today, the captain was in her room..."

"Wait a moment," Ellie frowned even deeper, "Are you here to see her now?"

The young man suddenly felt guilty when she asked him this, and hurriedly explained: "I was unable to keep the appointment yesterday because I had to work overtime, and I felt very guilty. In addition, it was you, the deputy captain, who introduced me to this blind date, and I was afraid that you would be caught in the middle, so I came to explain to her early in the morning. Who knew that it was Cui Ling who opened the door for me..."

"It's training time now, and you came to the girls' dormitory for these personal matters?" Ellie interrupted unhappily, "Do you know what it means to distinguish between public and private affairs?"

The young man didn't expect that he would be taught a lesson by Ai Li again after being taught a lesson by Cui Ling. He was stunned for a moment.

"Who is your captain, Li Sheng? What's wrong with him? He didn't even know that the people he led had escaped." Ellie usually had a cheerful look on her face, and it was rare for her to have such a stern face.

The young man was so frightened that he apologized repeatedly after he came to his senses and said that he would ask Li Sheng for punishment. Only then did Ellie let him go.

The young man fled in panic. Ai Li frowned and looked at his anxious back, and couldn't help but sigh. She introduced this man to Liang Tan before because he looked good and was good at coaxing people. His personal ability was also good. Who knew that he would be exposed in just two days? A guy who can run to find a woman during training time is obviously not a responsible person.

I'll have to tell Li Sheng when I see him later, and try not to give this person too important a task. Ai Li was thinking as she walked upstairs. When she passed Liang Tan's dormitory, she suddenly thought of what the young man had just said.

So... the captain is in there now?

Ellie blinked and suddenly had the urge to knock on the door.

The person inside the door seemed to sense something and opened the door before she could make a move.

The two people looked at each other instantly.

"It's really you!" Although Ai Li already knew that Cui Ling was here, she was still shocked when she saw him.

Her voice was a little loud. Cui Ling subconsciously looked back and made sure that Liang Tan was still asleep before turning back: "She doesn't like rumors."

"I understand. I promise there won't be a third person... No, that kid already knows about it. I'll go over now and remind him not to talk nonsense." After saying this, Ellie left happily.

Cui Ling was speechless for a moment and closed the door again.

After he opened and closed the door several times, someone on the bed finally woke up. After opening his eyes, he felt sore limbs and he couldn't muster any energy.

She stretched lazily with a groan, and after stretching, she did not forget to smell the palm of her hand to see if there was any residual smell of alcohol.

Cui Ling looked at her animal-like movements and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Liang Tan seemed to have sensed something, and after a pause he looked up. When he saw that he was still in the room, he was stunned: "You, you haven't left yet?"

"I'll leave now." Cui Ling replied.

Liang Tan had just had a high fever and was exhausted. Hearing this, he still lay in bed, but his words were particularly polite: "I won't see you off. Thank you for taking care of me last night, Captain. You should go back and rest as soon as possible."

Cui Ling glanced at her and turned to walk to the door. Liang Tan looked at his back and suddenly couldn't help but call him: "Captain."

"Anything else?" Cui Ling turned around.

Liang Tan coughed and said, "Can you bring me some breakfast?" She was very hungry, but she felt uncomfortable and didn't want to get up.

Cui Ling raised his lips, opened the door and walked out.

...So you agreed, didn't you? Liang Tan turned over and sighed with great melancholy.

A person continued to lie on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. After an unknown amount of time, there were two knocks on the door.

Liang Tan's eyelids twitched, but he was too lazy to open the door.

"If you don't open the door soon, the porridge will get cold."

Cui Ling's low voice came from outside the door. Liang Tan was startled and jumped out of bed and ran to the door.

116. Chapter 116 Hug You

When she opened the door, she saw Cui Ling outside. She couldn't help but express her surprise: "I thought you wouldn't come back."

"Didn't you ask me to bring food?" Cui Ling glanced at her and went straight into the house.

"Thank you, Captain." Liang Tan said, and went to take the things in his hand.

Cui Ling immediately dodged and said, "Wash up."

"Wash after you finish eating." Liang Tan's eyes were almost green with hunger. She had been ill for a while, and her body had consumed too much energy. She was tired even in the cracks between her bones, and she was unwilling to take one more step. Otherwise, she would not have asked Cui Ling to help buy food.

Cui Ling also saw that she was starving, and after a moment of silence, he finally compromised and handed all the food in his hand to her. Liang Tan thanked him, sat down beside the bed and began to wolf it down.

Cui Ling watched quietly, and gradually frowned: "Don't eat so hastily."

"Yeah." Liang Tan agreed, but ate even faster.

Cui Ling's brows suddenly frowned even more tightly.

In twenty minutes, she finished eating everything. After burping, she looked up and met Cui Ling's gaze. She felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sick today, so I'll just eat until I'm 70% full."

Cui Ling: “…” The food brought back today, in addition to her usual amount of food, also included a bowl of porridge and two cakes that he was originally going to eat, but she said she was only 70% full.

Perhaps because his expression was too strange, Liang Tan cleared his throat and asked hesitantly, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay," Cui Ling glanced at her, "Since you're full, just rest for a while."

"Okay, thank you captain," Liang Tan said, looking at him hesitantly.

Cui Ling: "Anything else?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask... No one knows you're here, right?" Liang Tan said awkwardly. It sounds very impure for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room. If someone knew about it, she would never be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"Yes, the guy you were dating, and Ellie, but I've asked them to keep it a secret." Cui Ling didn't intend to hide it from her.

Liang Tan nodded: "Since you have already told them, they will definitely listen."

The good thing about the mercenaries in the base is that they absolutely obey the captain's orders.

Cui Ling did not comment on her words, and the room fell silent again.

Liang Tan cleared her throat and was thinking about how to see him off when Cui Ling left directly. He was just right in his manner and did not make her feel embarrassed at all. She suddenly realized that there was no need for her to do so much nonsense before. We were all adults, and if we could talk it out, nothing would happen.

The captain is indeed a good man. Liang Tan was very touched when he saw the unused alcohol. He simply washed up and continued to rest.

The illness took more toll on her than she had imagined. She thought that after she fell asleep, she would wake up automatically at noon, but she did not open her eyes until the evening.

"...I slept for so long."

After this sleep, she felt much better. Although she was still as hungry as when she woke up in the morning, the fatigue in her body was relieved a lot. She was in a daze for a while, and didn't get up until it was getting dark. She was going to the cafeteria, but when she opened the door, she saw a bag of sesame cakes hanging on the door handle and some food on the ground.

Ellie was lying drowsy at the door. When she saw her, she stood up quickly: "You finally woke up. I was about to break down the door."

"...What's wrong?" Liang Tan was puzzled.

Ellie blinked, looked her up and down, and was satisfied: "As expected of a superpower, you can get out of bed so quickly after having sex with the captain..."

"Stop it, what are you doing?" Liang Tan thought of something and quickly explained, "You mean what happened to the captain when I was here last night? I was sick and he just came to take care of me. If you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor. He can prove that I had a high fever yesterday."

"I know, you don't have to explain." Ellie smiled.

As soon as Liang Tan saw her expression, he knew she was still misunderstanding. With a headache, he glanced at the things at the door and asked, "Did you bring this?"

"No, it was sent by someone else. They left it at your door in order not to disturb your rest." Ellie raised her eyebrows suggestively.

Liang Tan had a bad feeling: "Didn't the captain ask you to keep it a secret?"

"I swear to God, I didn't say a word to anyone," Ellie said with a smile, "Others didn't know at first, because the captain bought breakfast for five people. You are the only one in the base who can eat so much and dares to ask the captain to buy things."

After that, she smiled even more happily, "Buy breakfast, you haven't gone out for another day, everyone is wondering if you are too tired to get out of bed, these things are given to you to replenish your body, it's considered... a kind of concern from everyone?"

Liang Tan: “…” Thank you so much for your concern.

"Liang Tan, you are so mean. You and the captain have already developed to this point, but you still want me to introduce you to a boyfriend," Ai Li pinched her face, "Don't hide this kind of thing from me in the future, okay?"

After working hard for many years, he went bankrupt overnight. Liang Tan was very tired. He took all the food at the door back to the room and closed the door in front of Ai Li.

"Don't be embarrassed, Liang Tan, it's normal for men and women to love each other!"

Ellie's teasing voice came from outside the door. Liang Tansheng took a bite of the pancake helplessly, refusing to have too much communication with this world.

She knew without thinking what people were saying about her outside, things like "She and the captain are indeed a perfect match", "The previous blind date was just a quarrel between the couple", all kinds of familiar tones had already simulated in her mind.

Liang Tan sighed, holding the unfinished sesame cake and completely shutting himself in.

After staying at home for two or three days, she had finally finished eating most of the "comfort gifts" sent by others, and Cui Ling finally came to her house and wanted to take her on a mission.

Going on a mission at this time is simply the best way to avoid rumors. Liang Tan immediately packed up his things and followed happily.

Cui Ling saw that she was in good spirits, and his expression eased a lot: "It seems that she has fully recovered."

"He recovered a long time ago and is doing very well now." Liang Tan nodded in agreement.

Cui Ling glanced at her and said, "Since you are well, why are you staying in the room all the time?"

Liang Tan was about to answer when a whisper came from the corner:

"This young couple is so loving."

Liang Tan: "...This is why I don't come out."

Cui Ling was silent for a moment: "Do you need me to come forward to explain?"

"No need. I've understood after these days that some things can't be achieved just by hard work," Liang Tan sighed, and after thinking of something, he looked at him carefully, "Captain, you don't mind, do you?"

"Yeah." Cui Ling looked straight ahead.

Liang Tan's expression relaxed a little: "I'm glad you don't mind. I've always been afraid of them gossiping because I'm worried that you'll feel uncomfortable."

"Really? I thought you just didn't want to have anything to do with me." Cui Ling said, opened the car door and sat in.

Liang Tan quickly got in the car: "I didn't want to do it before, but now that we've talked it out, it's all right. We'll still be good comrades and good friends in the future. No matter what they say, time will prove everything."

Cui Ling paused for a moment while buckling his seat belt, then looked at her: "Seat belt."
