"Acquainted," Flossie Wright nodded.
Aside from Squad Leader Lin, she really couldn’t think of anyone else.
"He’s my friend," the cook’s passion flared up at once, his smile growing even wider, almost nostalgically stating, "We, ah, came out of the same recruit company."
"Oh," Flossie responded coolly, glancing over him briefly before remarking, "Doesn’t quite look it."
This cook in front of her was much larger than Squad Leader Lin and had a completely different temperament.
There really wasn’t any resemblance at all.
"You kid..."
𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
The cook was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Of course, he understood what Flossie meant.
After pausing, Flossie continued to inquire, "Anything else?"
Flossie wasn’t surprised to encounter an acquaintance of Squad Leader Lin here.
If she remembered correctly, Squad Leader Lin used to work as a cook here.
He only left for the Frogman Forces due to some reasons.
Getting such a cold response from Flossie, the man didn’t get angry, but instead, he chuckled, "Your Squad Leader Lin told me, you’re training hard here, told me not to let you starve."
Flossie raised an eyebrow, looking at him with some skepticism.
Did Squad Leader Lin really say that?
"Ahem," feeling a tingling on his scalp from her gaze, the cook cleared his throat and said, "That’s the gist of it."
Flossie shrugged, "Thanks, but no need."
"No need for everyday, with Hutchinson around, I can’t help you anyway."
The cook spoke openly, then scanned the surroundings to ensure that the occasional glances coming their way couldn’t hear their conversation, before leaning a bit closer to Flossie.
"Tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve, the soldiers will make Dumplings to celebrate, but unfortunately, you trainees don’t get to partake..." As he said this, a look of regret appeared on the cook’s face, "Come over in the evening, and I’ll sort a portion out for you."
Her expression changing slightly, Flossie looked at him once again, still declining.
"What do you mean, no need, it’s decided then," the cook stood up, completely disregarding Flossie’s opinion and reminded her repeatedly, "Remember, tomorrow evening, anytime after seven o’clock is fine, don’t forget!"
After speaking, he walked away, leaving no room for Flossie to refuse.
Flossie rubbed her forehead.
After a moment, she lowered her eyes to the food on her plate and decided to start eating with her chopsticks.
As for the Dumplings—
She would deal with it tomorrow.
After eating, Flossie took two Steamed Buns back for Belinda Nichols.
Belinda’s phone had run out of battery.
When she returned, Belinda was tidying up the wardrobe.
"How did it go?"
Approaching the wardrobe, Flossie asked while handing over the Steamed Buns.
Belinda shut the wardrobe and took the two Steamed Buns from her hands.
Biting into a Steamed Bun, Belinda looked at Flossie somewhat perplexed.
"The blind date."
Leaning against the wardrobe door, Flossie spoke casually.
"I don’t have leave," Belinda answered indifferently.
No leave meant she couldn’t go back, and not going back meant it was all talk.
It was just the folks at home crying and fussing, causing her some worry.
Flossie shrugged her shoulders, not pressing further.
