Seated nearby, Becca Reyes abruptly leaned towards Flossie Wright while brandishing a rather large pair of scissors, which had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. She snipped the air before Flossie’s face, as if she would attack Flossie with them at the utterance of the simple word "yes".
Flossie gleefully pushed her away, quickly snatching the scissors from Becca’s distracted grasp. With a cocked eyebrow and a hint of annoyance, Flossie questioned, "Who could possibly please him?"
With Sergeant Lin’s stubborn nature, who could find a way around him? It wasn’t as easy as just serving him a meal.
After pondering a moment, Becca Reyes agreed that it was indeed the case.
But her acceptance only fostered even more suspicion among the others. Flossie had been given preferential treatment in the cooking class because she was participating in new trainee training, but Becca was also a new trainee. So why wasn’t Becca being given special treatment as well?
She tossed the scissors back to Becca, and, feeling like a spectacle under their scrutinizing gazes, Flossie tactfully made her exit.
It wasn’t until the next day that she found out why Sergeant Lin had made an exception for her.
The vacation that Rowdy Brightwill had promised to arrange for her was now confirmed. It was for ten days, starting the day before New Year’s Day, conveniently missing the Forces’ New Year’s evening party. Sergeant Lin had received this information early, so even if Flossie did attend the rehearsal, she wouldn’t be in sync with their progress by then.
"Your bus and plane tickets are booked, we depart at nine in the morning. We should reach Capital City by three or four in the afternoon, where someone will be waiting to pick us up."
Early in the morning, as soon as the morning exercise ended, Rowdy Brightwill came over to inform Flossie Wright of the travel arrangements. His tone was as breezy as always, but compared to before, it now subtly carried a sense of solidity, as if he’s become calmer having gone through plenty of experiences.
Flossie nodded her head, without any opposition.
She hadn’t visited this country in a long time. Even though she knew the general address, she still needed time to familiarize herself with the place. Since Rowdy Brightwill was there to help with planning, thereby saving her a lot of work, she obviously had no objections.
"Hm, I heard that everyone in your cooking class has to come up with a performance?" Rowdy Brightwill pondered for a moment before asking somewhat unsurely, "What’s yours?"
He had overheard this detail about the performance piece from the other cooking staff when he had come to find Flossie. Many of them were tearing their hair out, always seen carrying around papers and pens, sketching and brainstorming. They not only had to think of a simple skit but also detailed descriptions, which required creativity and complete concept. For the cooking class members who lack any artistic sense, this was always a challenging mission.
But Flossie Wright didn’t seem to be worried at all.

"I’m not sure yet."
With a lazy lift of her eyes, Flossie answered casually, as if the matter was of no concern to her at all.
In reality, she was one of those people with absolutely no artistic cells. Her idea of a performance would probably entail martial arts, but that sort of show isn’t exceptional within the Forces, so she had initially planned for a scolding from Sergeant Lin.
Rowdy Brightwill helplessly rubbed his forehead, he knew Flossie wouldn’t be proactive about this.
"Give me the pen and paper." Saying this, Rowdy Brightwill straightforwardly extended his hand towards Flossie, leaving no room for refusal.
"You can do it?"
Flossie squinted at him.
Rowdy Brightwill touched his nose and took her skepticism in stride, shrugging and said, "I’m a bit better than you at it, at least."
