When it comes to planning shows, Rowdy Brightwill was indeed much better than Flossie Wright.
From elementary school to college, he had always been on the student council. With a plethora of experience in planning events, a knack for playing various instruments, and membership of numerous clubs, he was not just a master at planning shows but also often went up on stage to perform. Upon joining the Forces, he naturally became the go-to man for each event at the Base. If it hadn’t been for his leave coinciding with the New Year’s Eve party, he undoubtedly would have had to take on many more tasks.
When she saw how confident Rowdy Brightwill was, Flossie Wright, who had never been good at planning, gave up and left the task to him.
Unexpectedly, the show plan Rowdy Brightwill wrote up in just ten minutes was chosen by Captain Lin.
At this, Flossie Wright was dumbfounded.
Training eased up as the New Year’s Eve party neared, but their busy military life showed no signs of subsiding. Few soldiers had spare time like Flossie Wright. Everyone had a role in a show, and even the slackers had to participate in the mass choral singing—no one was left out. Rowdy Brightwill even voluntarily took on many tasks to help them rehearse. Sometimes, when you walked around the Base in the evening, you could see soldiers enthusiastically practicing, which was very uplifting.
Compared to before, the melancholy mood had much dissipated, and the smiles were gradually returning to faces.
Life always goes on, people won’t always remember the dead, it’s saddening for those who are gone, yet to the living, it’s only human nature.
Every departure brings heartache, but it won’t cause lasting pain.
People are selfish, and over time, they will unconsciously forget unhappy things.
After a week of rehearsals, they went through Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Even though the others didn’t celebrate, the cooking class enjoyed several special meals.
Then came the day before New Year’s Eve.
"Ah, I’m going crazy from practicing all night. Once I return, I see you preparing to leave, can you not stimulate me like this?"
Becca Reyes entered, tired and dragging, but before she could catch her breath, she saw Flossie Wright packing her civilian clothes. Her mouth twitched in frustration, wishing she could keep Flossie Wright back.
They were infuriated and envious of Flossie Wright’s ability to get holidays less than half a year after enlisting, comparing it to unfair treatment for the new recruits.
Flossie Wright usually didn’t respond to bored complaints, but this time she was in a good mood. She lazily glanced at Becca Reyes and hooked the corners of her lips into a faint smile, "Nope."
Becca Reyes bit her teeth in anger. Still, she was too tired from practicing overnight. She couldn’t even muster the strength to reprimand Flossie Wright and finally managed to sputter out a weak, "Remember to bring specialities."
As Flossie Wright was organizing her few pieces of clothing, she responded nonchalantly.
She was always a bit bothered and not likely to bring specialities back, but if she finds the time, she might mail them to Becca Reyes.
"Oh, right," Suddenly popping up from the bed as if she had thought of something, Becca Reyes looked at Flossie Wright and squinted, "You’re going on leave with Rowdy Brightwill, aren’t you? Could it be... you’re meeting the parents?"
Putting the last piece of clothing into her bag, Flossie Wright turned to look at her. She seemed thoughtful for a moment, "Sort of."
