When her anger reached a certain point, Flossie Wright suddenly cooled down.
She scrutinized the man in front of her, he was neither as composed and gentle as she remembered him to be, nor was he kind and friendly to people.
It was almost like he had transformed into a different person.
A flash in her eyes, and Flossie released her grip from his collar.
At the same time, he let go of her wrist.
Once freed, Flossie’s eyes narrowed, "So you want to test how much she likes you?"
Calvin Ramos looked down at her, amusement flashing in his eyes.
He made no attempt to deny, admitting it plainly and decisively.
Since Becca Reyes kept saying she liked him, and she had successfully attracted his interest, why couldn’t he play it to his advantage?
She was a very tenacious person, so he was eager to see her madly in love with him.
As for the person standing before him...
Without any unexpected circumstances, he would not provoke. However, he always prioritizes his own wicked tastes.
He wanted to see if Becca Reyes and Flossie Wright would have a fallout over this?
No matter how you look at it, it seems quite interesting.
"Dong — Dong — Dong —"
From the direction of the Base, the bell rang for twelve o’clock.
In the distance, fireworks soared into the sky, splendid and colorful.
Looking up at the fireworks in the distance, Calvin’s expression was even softer. He lowered his head slightly, leaning close to Flossie’s ear.
"Happy New Year."
His soft whisper drifted with the wind.
Flossie was expressionless, her face cold.
The rain grew heavier, the night grew darker.
Calvin left the same way he came, his figure progressively distancing until it finally disappeared into the distant darkness.
The sound of the rising and falling tide filled her ears. The rain and wind hit her face, stripping away all feeling from her body.
Flossie stood still, looking up at the pitch-black sky.
Her expression was cold, showing no emotion.
"Flossie, where have you been?"
As soon as she arrived near the canteen, Rowdy Brightwill popped out from somewhere.
The incessant rain had already soaked him completely.
"Swimming."
She shrugged, replying casually.
Wet strands of hair stuck against her forehead and neck. Under the street lights, her face looked even more pale.
Rowdy had a good look at her and was startled. He reached out to touch her cheek, then hurriedly held her hand, testing her temperature.
Icy cold to the bone.
It didn’t feel warm at all.
Rowdy’s face changed dramatically.
"What do you want?"
Pulling her hand away, Flossie asked indifferently.
"Let’s go back to the cooking class, take a hot shower, and I’ll get you some medicine."
Without any discussion, Rowdy grabbed Flossie’s icy hand and led her straight to the cooking class.
Flossie couldn’t break free but she didn’t resist either.
Since it’s New Year’s Eve, there are bound to be some who stay up all night, and the cooking class folks are among them, hence the two bedrooms are deserted.
Rowdy didn’t care about gender differences and directly followed Flossie into the female soldier’s bedroom.
And when Flossie returned from a shower, she saw him with a pile of pills he managed to get from somewhere.
"Here, take these."
Very quickly, Rowdy brought over a cup of hot water, and with a handful of pills, walked over to her.
With a resigned frown, Flossie rolled her eyes at him before taking the cup and picked a cold medicine pill to swallow it down.
She was simply overheated and hadn’t warm up in time, resulting in her being icy cold. Now that she had taken a hot bath, her body had already recovered sensation.
Taking medicine was just so that Rowdy could be reassured.
"Speak up, what do you want."
Placing the cup on the table, Flossie leaned against it, asking about Rowdy’s intention again.
"Aunt Olivia was trying to call you, but couldn’t get through, so she told me to find you."
Today is New Year’s, so it wasn’t surprising for a call from Olivia Hamilton or Regan Wright.
Flossie nodded slightly, "I’ll return the call later."
"Also," Rowdy’s voice hesitated, and he awkwardly looked at her, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year," Flossie replied in similar courtesy.
After a pause, she saw that Rowdy was still standing there. Suddenly, she remembered something, "Do you have a red envelope?"
Rowdy immediately replied.
Flossie was taken aback, she merely asked offhand.
However, very quickly, a small gift box and a conspicuous red envelope were stuffed into her hands.
She looked down doubtfully at the items placed in her hand, Flossie didn’t react for a moment.
Flossie looked up at him, a faint smile on her face.
In fact, she hadn’t celebrated the New Year for a long time.
She hadn’t set foot on Eastlandia for years, and she gradually forgot all its customs. Occasionally, someone would tell her on a certain day — hey, even though you’re far away, we can still help you celebrate?
Of course, she accepted all good intentions, but rejected all actual actions.
Now, she just suddenly remembered such a custom, so she asked Rowdy on a whim, not expecting him to actually give her a red envelope.
"Where’s my red envelope and New Year’s gift?"
Rowdy was smiling, getting greedy for more.
Flossie furrowed her brows, instinctively searching the room.
She hadn’t thought about the New Year and naturally didn’t prepare any gifts ahead of time, but...
Giving him back a gift did not seem like a big deal.
However, she always had very few things. Other than a few clothes, she only had some trinkets extorted from the military supplies store.
Those were things all the Forces will be distributed with.
"How about this?"
Amidst the hesitation, Rowdy has already voiced out.
Flossie glanced up, and saw Rowdy holding a military knife picked from her loose assortment of belongings on the table. He waved it slightly under the bright light, dazzling her eyes unconsciously.
Squinting at it, Flossie was taken aback.
It was a trident folding knife.
A black handle no larger than a palm size, convenient for carrying around.
It was what she put down before she took a shower.
It was also...
