After standing quietly for a moment, Rowdy Brightwill heard the distant call for assembly, yet his legs moved towards Flossie Wright, walking to stand in front of her.
"You’re not going to training?"
An extremely abrupt voice, carrying her usual coldness, her eyes suddenly opened, light leaped into her eyes, making the color within them even cleaner and more dazzling.
She had woken up early.
Upon hearing the sound of group jogging, she was startled awake, but her limbs were a bit sore and she didn’t feel like moving.
Rowdy Brightwill was startled by her voice.
He hadn’t expected her to be awake and hearing her faint inquiring voice, he couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed.
But after thinking for a moment, he glanced at the crowd in the distance, paused slightly, then crouched down, furrowed his eyebrows, and asked Flossie Wright, "Have you been sleeping here the whole time?"
Flossie Wright got up from the sand.
Her entire body was covered with grit, without a hat, even her hair was tinged with a decent amount of sand.
"Then why are you here?" Rowdy Brightwill was skeptical, and in a low voice he added, "And so early?"
"Resting too long, afraid I can’t keep up during training, so I came out to practice a bit," she replied lazily, propping herself up from the ground, and getting to her feet.
Rowdy Brightwill was puzzled but thought her rationale made sense. He didn’t probe further, instead, he stood up along with her and asked, "I heard you took a leave today?"
"Hmm," she nodded, glanced at the Frogmen on the beach, shrugged, and said, "I’ll bring you late-night snacks tonight."
Upon hearing this, Rowdy Brightwill was not particularly pleased but looked at her with suspicion, frowning, "What are you going out for that you can’t talk about?"
"I can talk about it." She raised an eyebrow amusingly, looped her arm through his shoulder, the corners of her eyes tinted with mirth, and whispered, "Looking for a man, don’t go spreading it around."
One part serious, two parts probing, three parts teasing.
Unable to discern the truth, Rowdy Brightwill genuinely got angry.
Looking for a man...
Was that something to be said lightly?
"What’s up?"
With a soft tone of inquiry, Flossie tilted her head to meet his fiery eyes, her expression nonchalant, her face bathed in a layer of soft sunlight, which made her seem even more mysterious.
Narrowing his eyes, the annoyance in Rowdy Brightwill’s eyes faded, and he asked seriously, "Seriously, do you have someone else outside?"
"Otherwise?"
She returned the question with a smile.
Seeing the jest in her eyes, Rowdy Brightwill was startled for a moment, and then his expression grew stern, hardly able to hide his anger, "Fuck, you’re doing this on purpose!"
Her voice was low, and Flossie Wright lowered her gaze, interrupting his train of thought.
His hands clenched into fists as they hung by his side, Rowdy Brightwill was holding back a fury that even his gaze carried a striking force.
"Not satisfied?"
She drew back her hand, crossed her arms over her chest, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
His words were emphatic, but his clear eyes were obviously tinged with annoyance.
Frowning, Flossie Wright looked at him.
Beneath the rising sun, Rowdy Brightwill stood tall and straight, sunlight poured down in front of him, he slightly turned his head to look at her, lips pressed into a tight line, the delicate and handsome features on his face becoming more mature.
His camouflage uniform made him look even more handsome.
Clean and dashing.
Some words abruptly became hard to speak.
"Go to training," she said with a lift of the lips and a light laugh, turning around, Flossie waved a hand, her voice carried a lazy tone, "See you later."
She walked away along the coastline.
Hands in her pockets, her stance casual, she left shallow footprints on the beach, facing the sunlight, yet her silhouette was enveloped in shadows.
There was sunlight jumping into her eyes, somewhat dazzling, making that figure even harder to discern.
