Seeing her smile with her eyes, Flossie Wright’s expression became increasingly serious.
With the help of Calvin Ramos, Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes had safely passed their exams. Janice Wood was always studious, taking lessons and training very seriously, needing no help to sail through successfully.
As for Clara Birch and Agnes Parker, they just got beaten up by Flossie Wright. It wasn’t a fatal wound, but it seemed like the new soldiers had isolated them. When they got better and returned to the Forces, there were fewer and fewer new soldiers who would talk to them, and they both became much quieter as a result.
Gradually, life returned to normal.
In those days, Flossie Wright suddenly developed an interest, one that Becca Reyes looked down upon from beginning to end.
Ever since she had turned the soil in the vegetable garden that day, she developed a strong interest in the land. Sometimes she would even abandon her training to join Sergeant Lin in planting vegetables in the garden. She liked to stroll in the garden in her spare time, watching how the cabbages she had planted were growing, and sometimes even taking pictures to remember it by.
She became a farming fanatic.
Becca Reyes had laughed and cried about this for a long time, but she couldn’t do anything about it. No matter her sarcasm or contempt, Flossie Wright was not moved.
Flossie Wright was never the kind of person who could be influenced by others.
For her, once she developed an interest in something, there was no distinction of importance, she could only try to adjust.
But in the end, she herself didn’t even know what it was that attracted her to that piece of land.
The weather gradually became colder, and the days began to dawn later and later. Sometimes, it was just getting light when Flossie Wright returned with the shopping cart.
One day, the early-rising Flossie Wright took Sergeant Lin’s task as usual, clanging the iron basin to wake everyone up from their "winter sleep". Only after she had woken everyone did she put down the iron basin and spoon, ready to go shopping with the tricycle.
But this time she took a few detours to the kitchen area and saw a figure standing by the tricycle. He stood straight, his breath turning into white mist, contrasting with the frosty morning.
Flossie Wright shone her flashlight and saw it was Winsley Scott.
"Good morning."
The moment Winsley Scott saw her, he immediately waved and flashed a particularly brilliant smile.
The smile was warm, like the first thaw of ice and snow, a bit silly, yet with his white teeth out, it touched the heart.
In recent days Winsley Scott had been pursuing Janice Wood with particular vigour, always running to the new soldiers’ dormitory to find her, leading to Flossie Wright seeing him quite often, and gradually becoming familiar. However, she did not know why Winsley Scott would come looking for her so early in the morning.
"Something up?"
With one hand in her pocket and a flashlight in the other, Flossie Wright walked slowly toward him, not forgetting to inquire about his intent.
Winsley Scott looked very happy, his shiny black eyes blinked, and then he asked Flossie Wright in a mysterious manner: "Do you know it’s Janice Wood’s birthday today?"
Pausing slightly, Flossie Wright shook her head, "No, I didn’t."
𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Even though she had known Janice Wood for some time, she had never known her birthday. Of course, the fact that she didn’t care about birthdays was one reason, another was that she never thought to ask.
In the Forces, did it matter?
"Hehe," not surprised by Flossie Wright’s ignorance, Winsley Scott laughed cunningly, "I plan to surprise her tonight, could you come over then?"
