She breathed a sigh of relief, and Flossie Wright, with furrowed brows, asked.
So, you like her, and then what?
Accompanied by the indifferent voice, waves of confusion slammed into him, making Rowdy Brightwill furrow his brows.
"We’ve already discussed our engagement," Flossie Wright’s voice rose again as she looked up at him, speaking indifferently, "You can’t afford my life either."
Flossie Wright was very straightforward.
Rowdy Brightwill was never the same kind of person as her.
Unlike Perry Reed, Glenn Hutchinson, or even her, Rowdy Brightwill hadn’t experienced much. After graduating and training in the Forces, he was more like a blank sheet of paper that hadn’t been tainted.

Clean and pure.
Without a speck of dust.
Flossie Wright didn’t know what he would become in the future, but right now, Rowdy Brightwill was not fit to blend into her life.
With that thought—
Flossie Wright couldn’t help but feel a bit agitated.
Today, one after another, first it was Perry Reed, then Glenn Hutchinson, and now Rowdy Brightwill. One by one, they left her feeling somewhat powerless to respond.
In front of her, Rowdy Brightwill remained silent. As he fixed his gaze on Flossie Wright, it was hard to discern what mix of emotions were entangling within his deep-set eyes.
Disappointment, unwillingness to give in, understanding, sorrow...
"Get some rest early."
After a while, Flossie Wright spoke and turned to head towards the dormitory.
"Wait a second!"
Rowdy Brightwill called out to her, yet without any intense emotion.
Still, his voice couldn’t conceal the underlying dejection.
Thinking about it, Flossie Wright paused mid-step and turned her head to look at him.
"Then what must I do to afford your life?"
Rowdy Brightwill gazed at her, his hands clenched tightly at his sides. He seemed somewhat dejected, but still carried a stubborn resilience.
He knew, of course he knew...
Who knew since when, but Flossie Wright had been drifting farther and farther away from him.
The gulf between them was widening invisibly, and it seemed that no matter how hard he tried, he could never get closer to her.
Whether it was capability, actions, or even thoughts.
But he just liked her so much.
He wanted to treat her well no matter what.
He hadn’t thought...
In fact, if it weren’t for that incident this morning, he might not have been so impulsive.
At the very least, he would have waited for a suitable opportunity rather than act so recklessly, without any preparation.
As expected, his rejection was complete.
After a moment of silence, Flossie Wright shook her head gently, "I don’t know."
I don’t know.
After speaking, she walked towards the dormitory.
Dormitory 105’s door was opened, and the silhouette of Flossie Wright walked in, then closed it again.
The light turned on.
Rowdy Brightwill didn’t know how long he stood outside.
Only when his whole body was chilled to the bone did he look at the now-dark dormitory and trudge back towards his own dorm building with heavy steps.
This was his first time confessing his feelings to someone.
And his first time being rejected.
He had prepared himself fully.
But still, the result was even worse than he had imagined.
The next day.
At five o’clock, Flossie Wright was woken up by noise.
She was a light sleeper, especially in the Forces where she needed to wake up to the sound of bells and gather at night to the sound of whistles—she definitely couldn’t afford to sleep too deeply.
It had become a habit.
So when the sound of a door opening and footsteps started, she immediately opened her eyes.
A low exclamation rang out.
It was Jocelyn Carrington’s.
As soon as she came over and saw Flossie Wright’s eyes open, Jocelyn Carrington patted her chest and muttered to herself, "You scared the life out of me!"
