Chapter 429 - 436: Past with Ning Xin’er
"No wonder Ning Xin’er hates you so much," Su Mengxin said with a puzzled look at Li Yifei. "But since she hates you to that extent, you must have had a lot of trouble at the time."
Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Afterwards, I was really scared. Arguing with her was one thing; nobody cared about that. But sleeping with her was a huge mistake. I thought for sure I would get kicked out, but there was no reaction at all. Nobody in the squad talked to me about it, as if nobody even knew it happened."
"Then it seems Ning Xin’er didn’t tell anyone about it," Su Mengxin said. "For a girl to talk about such a thing would naturally be very embarrassing for her."
"That must be it, but every time she saw me after that, she looked at me like I was her sworn enemy, like she wouldn’t be satisfied until she had tormented me to death. I felt guilty, so I could only take whatever she threw at me. Not until the mission was complete and I returned to the squad did I stop seeing her."
Su Mengxin didn’t ask if Ning Xin’er had sought out Li Yifei again. She was well aware that for organizations like the Flying Hawk Squad, which are state secrets, only those with a high enough clearance knew about the squad’s existence. The rest of the people had no idea about it, and Li Yifei was certainly on his missions under a different identity, so Ning Xin’er could never find out his true identity.
"But it looks like Ning Xin’er hasn’t given up on getting back at you," Su Mengxin teased as she smiled at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei gave a wry smile and said, "Yeah, I’ve been avoiding her ever since. Even though I saw her a few times, she never recognized me. Who would have thought I’d run into her again in Mile City?"
"Hehe, if she knew your identity, then I’m afraid you would be even less at peace. I also know a bit about Ning Xin’er. Once you’ve offended her, it seems she won’t let it go so easily."
Li Yifei shivered and said, "Luckily I managed to bluff my way through this time. You’re not going to tell her my identity, are you?"
"That depends on your performance," Su Mengxin said playfully.
