"Captain, aren’t you going to keep me company with a bite?"
Approaching, Rowdy Brightwill asked with a smile.
With a laugh, Bard Walker threw two boxes of barbecue over to him.
Rowdy Brightwill caught them with a smile and then sat down in the empty space next to him.
Four seats, all filled.
Rowdy Brightwill was quiet for a while but soon couldn’t contain himself and started chatting with Flossie Wright in a low voice.
Listening to the conversation, Bard Walker put down a bamboo stick, glanced at Rowdy Brightwill and Flossie Wright next to him, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he soon let out a helpless sigh.
His own soldiers, although he would scold and kick them when they were close, it was impossible not to feel affection.
Rowdy Brightwill’s nature was simple, without cunning or manipulation, and he was born optimistic and cheerful. In the two years under his command, he had never stirred up trouble on his own, and his military skills were also among the best—just like Austin Shepherd, he made him satisfied.
It wasn’t that Flossie wasn’t good, it was just that her calm and steady personality really didn’t match Rowdy Brightwill’s.
He really wanted to knock that kid hard on the head with a few blows, hoping to knock some sense into him.
The nighttime snack passed amidst the conversation between Rowdy Brightwill and Flossie Wright.
Sergeant Lin was a man of few words, normally not chatty, and Bard Walker was just a normal guy, but since he couldn’t find a topic with Sergeant Lin, he just silently ate his barbecue.
After eating, everyone dispersed.
However, when looking at Rowdy Brightwill walking Flossie Wright back, Bard Walker was blown up with anger, his whiskers puffing out and his eyes glaring, wishing he could punch Rowdy Brightwill a few times.
It was only a few minutes’ walk, why send her all the way?!
Could it be that ghosts haunted the Base?!
Bard Walker glared at Rowdy Brightwill fiercely and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Rowdy Brightwill was clueless.
Underneath the women’s Dormitory.
Glancing at the dormitory with no lights on, Flossie’s pace hesitated, and she turned to look at Rowdy Brightwill, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Rowdy Brightwill didn’t need to go out of his way to bring her here.
It wasn’t that sentimental.
There must be something he wanted to tell her.
No one else had returned, and they probably wouldn’t until the next morning. Between the two buildings, the streetlights were on, but too far apart to see more than a general outline.
Hearing her words, Rowdy Brightwill slightly turned his head, the dim light casting softly on his handsome brows and eyes, making him look even more gentle.
His lips were tightly pressed, showing a hint of hesitation.
Flossie stood by his side, one hand in her pocket, her face calm as she looked at him, her beautiful features shrouded in shadow, inexplicably causing him to be lost in thought.
"Flossie Wright, I like you."
His voice was calm, like a gentle breeze, with a clear and clean timbre.
His silhouette stood out in the hazy light, with Rowdy Brightwill standing in front of her, eyes half-closed and holding an obvious nervousness, and perhaps a bit of struggle.
Flossie lowered her eyes but showed no surprise.
Of course, it was within her expectations.
They had known each other since basic training.
Twenty-three years old.
Coming from a well-off family, he never really faced any significant setbacks, yet he lacked the arrogance that often came with such an environment. He grew up free in good fortunes, without having to worry about anything, just focusing on what he should do and what he wanted to do, then relentlessly pursuing the path he chose.
She hadn’t encountered this type of person before.
But, she didn’t mind making contact with him, nor did she mind getting along with him.
What she hadn’t expected was that Rowdy Brightwill would...
Well, actually, she didn’t believe that this could be called liking.
"And then?"
