Uh, dating?
Admittedly, Flossie Wright felt that it was rather childish to utter the words "in a relationship" so seriously.
"Don’t you have one?" Becca Reyes looked at her doubtfully, seemingly surprised, but soon nodded in understanding, "But that’s normal. You don’t seem to be someone who understands emotions."
Flossie Wright, with her eyes half-closed, resisted the urge to throw this woman off the bed.
Shoving Becca Reyes to the side, Flossie Wright maintained a certain distance from her and also took the opportunity to jab at her, "Who hurt you?"
At first, Becca Reyes, who had been mocking Flossie Wright, froze. She sighed heavily as her personal matter was pricked, then, showing a sad and melancholic face, she crawled back to Flossie Wright’s side.
Completely opposite from her usual strong woman image, she now appeared particularly girly.
With her head down and her eyes half-closed, with sorrow clearly shown in her pupils, she honestly said to Flossie Wright, "I just confessed my love to him, but he rejected me without saying much."
"From the Forces?" Flossie Wright asked tentatively.
Although it was possible for them to secretly use mobile phones in cooking class, intuition told her that Becca Reyes must have confessed to someone nearby. Her anxiety seemed to stem from what to do next, rather than taking time to calm down and adjust her emotions.
However, in the cooking class, Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes had different duties. Apart from the training periods, it was difficult for them to bump into each other. However, Flossie knew that Becca often went to the place where new soldiers were trained.
"Yes." Becca Reyes nodded lightly, with an indelible worry in her brow. "What should I do?"
Flossie Wright hesitated for a while, but did not answer her, instead she asked, "Who was it?"
Upon hearing this, Becca Reyes started to dodge her gaze, but she couldn’t escape Flossie Wright’s stare. In the end, there was no other choice, Becca Reyes sighed and muttered, "Calvin Ramos."
The figure of a man sprang up in Flossie Wright’s mind: tall and handsome, elegant and polite, warm and bright, and particularly excellent. He was a very good and commendable person, attracting many of the female soldiers, yet Flossie Wright did not hold much fondness for him.
"Yes, the one who is very handsome..." She paused, and then thought of the new soldiers’ situation, and added in a chilling tone, "and also the one who had fallen into your cunning plot."
When she recalled how Flossie Wright had arrogantly challenged all the male soldiers and then resorted to treacherous means to win, Becca Reyes couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
It was indeed domineering and the reasons were justifiable, but it was also somewhat embarrassing.
At that time, in Becca Reyes’s heart, Flossie Wright was just a blatant ruffian with nothing to be proud of.
"I know." Flossie Wright responded without much reaction and casually gave her some advice, "If you want to pursue him, just go ahead. If you can’t win him over, look for someone else."
Becca Reyes, whose mind was in turmoil, was choked by Flossie Wright’s words. Instantly, all her sadness and bitterness turned into frustration and helplessness.
Who doesn’t know this?
The question is, how can she win him back?!
However, before Becca Reyes could continue asking, Flossie Wright threw out another nonchalant remark, "We have an assessment tomorrow. There’s no training in the morning. You can take your time to be melancholic."
Having finished, Flossie Wright turned over and peacefully fell asleep.
With a bitter feeling, Becca Reyes, who finally managed to talk to Flossie Wright, found that this woman had no sentimentality. Pouring out her grievances to her would only result in cold criticism and merciless blows.
Turning over in frustration, Becca Reyes somewhat stubbornly pulled most of the blanket onto herself.
However, in the darkness, her phone suddenly lit up.
Because she had slept on the outside, her phone was placed outside the pillow, right where Flossie Wright was sleeping now.
With her eyes barely open, Flossie Wright casually picked up the phone. Just as she was about to throw it to Becca Reyes, she suddenly noticed the name "Calvin Ramos" on the screen, and her movement abruptly halted.
