Chapter 796 - The Story of Ling and Heng (2/2)

But she should have nothing to do with the old lady.

So she only looked at the old woman’s disappointed face.

The old woman thought for a while, then raised her eyes and looked at her face. “But you look really like…”

“Granny, who did you say I look like?” Feng Ling didn’t understand her.

When the old lady heard that the child called her ‘Granny’, her eyes reddened and she reached out to take her hand.

Maybe because the old lady looked too excited, and her hand was trembling, although Feng Ling was very sensitive, she resisted the urge to push her away. She looked at the red-eyed old woman and, for some reason, she didn’t have the heart to let her down. She supported her who immediately held her wrist tightly.

“Are you a boy?” The old woman stared at her face. “How could there be such a beautiful boy? You are fair and tender-skinned and look even better than a little girl.”

Before Feng Ling answered, the slightly younger policeman standing next to her laughed and said, “Granny, he won’t take it as a compliment. For us men, no matter how old we are and how fair-skinned we are, we’re still men. The last thing we want to be questioned is our gender. I also looked good when I was a teenager. But if anyone said I looked like a girl, I would only be pissed off and jumped in anger.”

The old woman paused and seemed to realize that her words weren’t proper, so she withdrew her hands reluctantly but her eyes were still glued to Feng Ling’s face as if still waiting for an answer.

Feng Ling hesitated for a while. Even to those she was familiar with, she would just tell them she was a boy. It was surely impossible for her to tell her secret to a stranger who she had never seen before.

“Granny, where I work only accepts men. If I’m a woman, I wouldn’t be able to help you chase the robbers, so how could I be a woman?” Feng Ling didn’t know why she, who was always indifferent to people, was so patient to this old woman and even spoke with a bit euphemism.

Qin Qiu came over, held the old woman who looked a bit disappointed and looked at Feng Ling. Perhaps because this boy was a little like her when she was young, she felt particularly close to him.

“Sorry, little brother, my mother is too excited.” Qin Qiu looked at Feng Ling’s face and couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional, but it wasn’t the right time to be emotional now, so she said politely, “It’s getting late. Have you eaten yet? In order to thank you, could we invite you to have a meal with us? Let’s be friends. I think you should also be Chinese. It’s such a coincidence that we met in the United States and it is even more unusual for us to meet in this way. By the way, if it is convenient, please give me your phone number so that we can contact you in the future.”

Feng Ling said indifferently, “No, you don’t have to be so grateful. I just did you a little favor. If you don’t have anything else, I’m leaving.”

After that, she turned around and was about to go, not planning to stay anymore.

For some reason, the way the old woman looked at her made her feel very uncomfortable. She couldn’t tell why, but she instinctively didn’t want to continue to stay in this situation that made her feel uncomfortable.
