Recent X-ray observations of the Galactic X-ray binaries revealed a number of narrow absorption lines produced by metals in the hot gas; however, it is unclear whether this hot gas is intrinsic to the source, or in the hot interstellar medium, and the answer to this question has fundamental implication in probing Galactic feedback processes. We propose one ToO observation to study X-ray bright sources spatially close to these X-ray binaries. We expect that the hot gas would produce similar absorption if it is ISM in origin. Due to the different intrinsic properties and environment of these X-ray binaries, our observations will offer a clean test of the nature of the hot gas.
