"We’re here."
Stopping at the entrance of the Vegetable Market, Flossie Wright glances at him, then at his hand gripping the shopping cart—
The meaning was quite clear.
The shopping cart in hand instantly becomes like a hot potato, Nigel Ferguson shivers, and subconsciously lets go.
"Um, are you going to do the shopping again?" Watching Flossie Wright about to push the cart, Nigel Ferguson comes closer in haste and hastily adds after asking, "I mean, will you go shopping before you leave the cooking class?"
"Nope," shrugging her shoulders, Flossie Wright naturally grabs the handle of the shopping cart, then cocks an eyebrow at him, "I’ll be counting on you these few days."
"Sure, of course."
His heart is pounding like a drum, at a loss on how to respond to Flossie Wright’s words.
About to leave with the cart, Flossie Wright takes a step and then suddenly stops, without turning her head, but waves her hand instead.
As the morning sun gradually rises, casting warm, slanting beams, Flossie Wright’s retreating figure is cast into shadow. All one can see is her silhouette against the vast sky, her hand waving in the air, appearing particularly carefree against the rising sun.
Observing that fleeting silhouette sinking into the depths of his sight, Nigel Ferguson’s gaze gradually dims.
"Hey, wait..."
𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Just as Flossie Wright is about ten meters away, it is as if Nigel Ferguson suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but call out to her.
Flossie Wright pauses in her steps and looks back at him, her profile bathed in the soft light, beautiful and gallant. Her gorgeous profile is breathtaking.
"I’m going to join the Forces next fall!"
Putting his hands up to his mouth in a megaphone gesture, Nigel Ferguson looks at Flossie Wright from afar and shouts at her loudly.
After slight hesitation, surprise flickers in Flossie Wright’s eyes, then immediately disappears without a trace.
"Good luck."
Her casual words float down, devoid of any genuine well-wishes, but also without any typical dismissive responses.
Without showing any emotion, Flossie Wright turns and disappears around the corner with the shopping cart.
She doesn’t know why Nigel Ferguson wants to join the military, but one thing she is sure of is that he isn’t doing it for her. His choice has nothing to do with her, and naturally, she won’t try to stop him or lend him any support.
This is bound to be a difficult journey.
Yet, if a man has the opportunity, she has no objection to him serving in the Forces for a couple of years and experiencing what the military life has to offer.
In that place, there exist the most sincere relationships, the purest competitions, as well as some warmth hidden beneath the violence. Outside, the world can often erode a man’s qualities without him noticing, but those who have lived through military life will not lose their tenacity, toughness, or persistence that easily.
The shopping trip lasted less than two hours.
Yet, during this time, enough had happened to startle anyone.
The news of Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes’ reassignment reached the cooking class early in the morning and spread rapidly throughout the Base. Gossips about the "two special chefs" started circulating among those who had nothing better to do. Everything from their entering the cooking class to participating in new recruit training, from the new recruit chefs to unmatched sharpshooters, the rumors grew wilder and more sensational. Suddenly, the names of Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes became the centerpiece of the Base’s gossip.
