No need to guess, Flossie Wright could already tell what they were thinking.
It was nothing more than her bullying a little girl or something like that.
So, with a frown, Flossie Wright grabbed Sophie Fitch by the shoulder and dragged her away.
Sophie Fitch didn’t react in time and instinctively sped up to catch up with Flossie.
Fifteen minutes later.
Sophie Fitch and Flossie Wright sat on the park steps.
Sophie Fitch held a big pile of snacks in her hand.
Barbecue, cotton candy, candied hawthorn, and some little trinkets.
Finally stopping her tears, Sophie Fitch began to demolish the snacks in her hands.
It wasn’t eating, but some form of venting.
Her gaze was vicious, she ate savagely, swallowed brutally.
After sitting for a few minutes, Flossie Wright played with the military knife in her hand, glancing at her indifferently, "Do you plan to keep eating?"
The cool voice landed in her ears unhurriedly, as if it could easily soothe the heart.
Sophie Fitch immediately stopped her actions.
She opened her mouth, but then stopped, chewing slowly and swallowing the barbecue in her mouth.
After a moment.
She raised her eyes slightly, her eyes still glistening with tears. When she looked at Flossie Wright, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of water film.
Sadness, loss, panic, helplessness...
In an instant, endless emotions surged in her eyes.
"I had a breakup."
Gripping the snacks tightly, Sophie Fitch lowered her head and quietly said these words.
Flossie Wright was not surprised by this answer.
Today was Monday, the Military Academy doesn’t have holidays. Sophie Fitch must have taken leave to come out, and being so meticulously dressed, it obviously wasn’t just a simple outing.
Though Flossie Wright didn’t care about these things, it didn’t mean she was unaware of them.
"I met him when I was very young. He graduated from this school, so I came here directly without considering anything else..." Sniffling lightly, Sophie Fitch lowered her head even more, "I established a relationship with him after the college entrance exam. All this time... we really didn’t have much chance to contact each other... You know, he’s good in academics, has a good temper, everything is good. When he graduated and was assigned, he had better options, but he chose to go to the Combat Forces... How tough that is, I can’t even see him..."
Tears began to flow again, and Sophie Fitch couldn’t hold back anymore, letting out a loud cry.
She hugged her knees tightly, buried her face in them, and cried aloud, filled with grief.
"He was able to get leave today and especially took a day to see me, but..." Speaking of this, Sophie Fitch paused, adjusted her emotions slightly, but still couldn’t suppress the sadness in her words, "But... he said I can’t understand him... said that I came to the Military Academy just to pass the time... Then, in a fit of anger, I broke up with him... He... he didn’t say anything and just agreed... How could he, he be like that..."
In the end, Sophie Fitch bit her lip hard and lifted her head from her knees, turning slightly to look at Flossie Wright.
Flossie Wright quietly listened to her finish.
Meeting her gaze, Flossie Wright dropped her eyes, looking at the now disheveled Sophie Fitch.
On her fair face, tears were smeared all over, her eyes filled with tears, long eyelashes gently trembling, her nose bright red.
Compared to the cheerful and well-behaved girl in memory, she’s too far.
"Did you come to the Military Academy just for him?"
Flossie Wright asked.
"Yeah," wiping away the tears with her sleeve, Sophie Fitch propped her elbows on her knees, slightly bent forward to look ahead, "When he came to the Military Academy, I decided to come here. My parents are military enthusiasts, as long as I’m not in the grassroots forces, they were relieved to let me come..."
At this point, Sophie Fitch suddenly stopped.
Everything seemed so natural.
When she hadn’t yet had a dream, hadn’t planned for her future, she met him and resolutely came here.
It seemed that being here for him was all the meaning there was to it.
Now, it’s over.
Her heart felt empty.
The obsession she insisted on for so long suddenly dissipated without a trace.
What should she hold onto next?
Thinking of this, Sophie Fitch suddenly turned to look at Flossie Wright and asked, "Flossie, why did you join the Forces?"
