Without a detailed explanation, Flossie Wright, wiping the sweat off her face, took the lead and headed towards the seaside.
Of course, before that, they had taken the time to change into diving suits.
And, despite being so exhausted, Flossie Wright’s performance in the sea still impressed Jessie Grain.
One had to admit that Flossie Wright possessed a great deal of potential and unique skills; perhaps when she was exhausted to the point of being drained, she still harbored unknown tricks up her sleeve.
After eating some compressed biscuits at noon, Flossie Wright and Jessie Grain practiced rescue techniques and underwater combat in the sea.
It wasn’t until they had dinner and returned to the Dormitory in the evening that they were surprised to discover Rowdy Brightwill had unexpectedly become an internet sensation.
Jessie Grain went to shower, while Flossie Wright, out of boredom, played with her phone and suddenly noticed the phrase "The Handsomest Frogman" topping the trending search list. Curiously clicking on it, she never expected to see below a series of official praises a photo of Rowdy Brightwill in a diving suit, lifting someone from the water.
With his diving goggles removed, revealing those dark, shiny, beautiful eyes, there was none of his usual gentle smile, replaced instead by a cold, stern and sharp gaze; in the depths of his eyes hid a chill that made one’s heart tremble.
The side shot only revealed half of his face, but the gentle sunlight that fell upon him deepened the contours of his profile.
In the instant that water splashed around him, half his body was still submerged, and around him was the boundless Hanstley River and the remains of a cruise ship that had been swept by a tornado.
He, at the center of the picture, looked incredibly profound.
In that photo, Flossie Wright could not see any trace of the usual Rowdy Brightwill; all there was were weathered features accustomed to death and lingering pain deep within.
As she remembered, since Winsley Scott’s sacrifice, Rowdy Brightwill had not participated in any similar rescue operations.
"Is that Rowdy Brightwill?"
Staring at the photo and frowning in thought, Jessie Grain had come up behind her unnoticed.
Coming back to her senses, Flossie Wright nodded.
"The Handsomest Frogman..." Glancing at the text above, Jessie Grain thought for a moment and agreed, "It suits him."
Staring at the screen, Flossie Wright didn’t respond.
Intending to exit, she mistakenly hit the comments button, and the page immediately jumped to the comments section of that Facebook post.

[Wow, is this the legendary frogman?! So handsome, so handsome!]
[Do they select frogmen based on looks? How can he be so handsome?]
[The frogmen work hard. But this one... never mind, I’m screen-licking for five minutes!]
[The handsome soldier seems quite heavy-hearted. Can the passenger he rescued be saved, I hope he gets professional psychological treatment once he’s back.]
After scanning casually, Flossie Wright exited out.
"Quite interesting,"
Said Jessie Grain, as she watched the comments with lips curled up, looking quite intrigued.
"Not interested."
Flossie Wright tossed her phone aside.
Jessie Grain let out a laugh, choosing not to argue.
Lather, Flossie Wright went to take a shower.
Neither of them went to train that night, instead, they stayed in the Dormitory, keeping an eye on the sunken ship’s situation.
They were not on site, nor did they know those passengers, and wouldn’t be heart-wrenched or distraught over it; but there were their comrades, those who went to rescue without regard for their own lives, and for them, they definitely carried concern.
Neither showed it.
