They forged ideals, forged lives, willingly dedicating their only youth to that parcel of land, fully aware that the future would be fraught with difficulties, yet they still chose to believe that it would be better.
A rather unrealistic faith.
Yet, time and again, it prompted them to grit their teeth and persevere, to endure through the grueling training.
Having witnessed it for a while, Flossie Wright suddenly began to believe that if a person possessed an obsession for living, then they would inevitably do many things that defied common sense.
She had never explored her own limits, always stopping at what she thought she was capable of, falling down when tired, and climbing back up after adequate rest, never considering that she might be capable of more if she kept going even when exhausted.
For the moment, she hadn’t found her faith.
But everything about that place interested her greatly.
Naturally...
She wanted to stay on.
To see more, to see what else that place could bring her.
"Brainwashed?"
With furrowed brows, Perry Reed looked at her, his expression somewhat grave.
Nodding, Flossie didn’t argue, "I suppose so."
Clenching his teeth, Perry felt a surge of anger but suppressed it, then asked, "Will you be discharged in two years?"
"I don’t know."
Squinting, Flossie gave a vague answer.
Under normal circumstances, after two years of service, she was supposed to leave the Forces.
But now, she was in the Marine Corps.
If she stayed, she would definitely spend more time there; if she was screened out, she could leave once her time was up.
At the very least, for now, she had no intention of leaving.
"You won’t," Perry decided for her after a moment’s thought.
Having known her for so many years, how could he not understand this woman? If she couldn’t give a definite answer, it just showed that the odds of her doing the opposite were greater.
After a moment of silence, Flossie’s eyes shifted, and she suddenly asked, "Hey, how old are you?"
"What for?"
Perry’s expression darkened.
"Almost thirty, right?" Raising her finger, she touched her chin and seemed somewhat regretful, "Kind of old, huh?"
"Lin, Yun!"
Staring at her fiercely, Perry clenched his teeth.
So what if he’s older?
He was not even thirty, not for another two years, and since when was thirty considered old?!
This woman!
Thinking it over, Flossie extended her uninjected hand, excitedly doing the math with him, "I’m twenty-two now, and after a few more years in the Forces, I won’t even be thirty, but you..."
Assessing Perry, she curled her lips into a smile, "Tsk, you’ll be almost forty, can you still keep up..."
That was the last straw!
Perry raised his hand, and slammed it down hard on her head.
Withdrawing her smile, Flossie touched her head feebly, the laughter still twinkling in her eyes.
Seeing Perry frustrated made her very happy.
Watching her like that, Perry cursed under his breath, his heart unwilling to be truly mad at her, and his palm rubbed roughly through her hair, asking in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts!"
She squinted and responded crisply, the teasing overt in her voice.
Perry’s face turned darker and darker, yet he was utterly at a loss with her, and the hand resting on her hair softened again.
Smiling wryly, Perry felt helplessly resigned.
This scene naturally attracted quite a bit of attention.
Especially for Anthony Ward, his eyes widened slightly, and he couldn’t help muttering to himself that it was clear they were just like a couple, wondering what the Hutchinson Team Captain was meddling for...
