Watching Janice Wood slowly retreat, Becca Reyes pointed at Flossie Wright, fiercely wanting to scold her, but she was interrupted by the former woman’s words.
"Stay with her today."
An unquestionable voice, directly stupefying Becca Reyes.
What does she mean?
After a pause, Becca Reyes brought her thoughts back, "What about you?"
"I’ll feed pigs for you." Flossie Wright’s reply was crisp and clear.
Blinking, Becca Reyes couldn’t help but question, who would seize the duty of others, especially when it’s... feeding pigs?
Giving her a fleeting look, Flossie Wright didn’t directly answer. Instead, she left the room, clearly avoiding the topic.
Confused, Becca Reyes touched her nose. In the meanwhile, she suddenly realized something about Flossie Wright’s silence whenever Janice Wood was present.
Has this woman... finally acknowledged she’s terrible at comforting people?
Quirking her lips in amusement, Becca Reyes followed Janice Wood’s pace quickly without staying long in the dormitory, deploying her utmost efforts to protect the other’s emotions.
Before lunchtime that day, Flossie Wright went to the pigsty for the first time with Xiao Yan, as the cooking class was quite affluent without resorting to waste. They used grass and specially-prepared feed. Initially, Xiao Yan intended that Flossie Wright merely assist him, but found himself blown away by her extraordinary knife skills while cutting the grass. So much that when he was feeding the pigs with the adjusted pig food, a part of him was reluctant.
The grass was cut as if by machinery, something he might never see again, how could he bear to feed the pigs with it?
"Heard you joined this rescue too?"
When distributing the pig feed, Xiao Yan casualy asked. Yet such unintentionality bore the marks of deliberate intentions.
Flossie Wright hesitated for a moment, then casually replied, "Yep."
After a moment, Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head and asked her, "Are you scared?"
Confronted with such a question, Flossie Wright squinted her eyes. Not that the question was hard to answer, it’s just that...
Ever since she returned, many people have been asking her similar questions.
Are you scared?
How do you feel?
Do you need a break?
Not just her, the others have had the same experience.
Newcomers to this mission have suddenly received quite a lot of attention. Many people are concerned about their mental states and their feelings in the face of real death. In contrast, veteran soldiers rarely get asked; they are more concerned with the condition of their missing comrade Winsley Scott, and the friend who already left. With their vast experiences, they don’t worry about mission details; they need to stay alert. When others talk to them, everyone tends to tiptoe around the topics of Winsley Scott and the deceased’s impact, aiming to avoid those subjects.
Perhaps in the forces, this is an unwritten ritual.
But still, Flossie Wright has not responded to Xiao Yan’s question.
In fact, she doesn’t want to comment on this matter. She’s experienced countless incidents like this, and is accustomed to not taking others’ opinions to heart. Words, as sharp as they can be, have never hurt her. Her desire to beat that crazy woman then was nothing but a reaction to concern for Janice Wood.
Well, as for those parents, it is only natural for them to worry about their children. Seeing them survive they can’t help but leap for joy, but the moment they face their child’s corpse, the emotional blow is unimaginable. Some abnormal reactions out of grieve can be forgiven. It’s just that some people are inherently selfish and may act more excessively.
