Jasper stayed around and made dinner for Willow. He didn’t tell anyone from the team to give them anything. Willow was like a cat waiting to be fed. She read her book as she waited for Jasper to feed her dinner.
Willow wanted to help, but Jasper refused. Willow thought she would hinder more than help anyway, so she didn’t insist.
The ingredients here were fresh, so Jasper made a four-course meal. There were steamed fish and shrimp with eggs, both of which were Willow’s favorite.
Jasper piled food on Willow’s plate, smiling at her. “Dig in. You had a long day.”
Willow averted her gaze sheepishly, but she happily dug into the food. When Willow said she wanted the fish, Jasper would debone it so she didn’t have to eat with worry. This was what her parents used to do for her.
She loved that he loved her, but she wanted to spoil him too, so she fed him as well. Their eyes met, and love overflowed. It was a blissful moment.
Willow would visit Shirley from time to time and watch her train from afar.
The organization asked Jasper to do some training work. The batch of recruits he had to. train was the one Shirley was in. Willow was watching.
Shirley was the top student of their batch. Willow watched as she dispatched her opponents cleanly, and her eyes went wide with adoration. So cool.
Jasper didn’t join the fray. All he did was instruct and teach. During her break time, Shirley came to Willow, wiping her sweat away with a towel. Moments ago, she was dispatching her opponent, but now she looked like a sweet girl. She huddled closer to Willow. “Jasper’s awesome, isn’t he?”
Willow smiled. “He’s alright, I guess.” Willow was humble. She knew how awesome Jasper really was, however. Shirley smiled. “He’s not the idol of this base for nothing. I wish you happiness, Willow.”
Willow handed her a bottle of water, which she took. Willow huddled closer. “What about you? Do you have anyone you like? I think that guy’s alright.” Willow had been watching her surroundings, and she noticed a handsome guy looking at them, so she thought he was interested in Shirley.
Shirley spat her water onto the ground and shushed Willow. Willow looked at her in great surprise. She whispered smugly, “Right on the money, huh?”
Shirley wrapped an arm around Willow’s shoulder and huddled closer. Shirley’s face was already pink to start with, but now she was as red as a tomato. She whispered, “He’s just my senior.”
Willow stared at her with a smile. I can see through you. Shirley put on a sheepish look and whispered, “I’ve been here for three months, and yeah, I do like him, but we’ll be separated soon,” said Shirley. Everyone would fall in love someday.
Shirley grew up in her father’s base, and this was her first time leaving her father to gain some experience. Her leader, Cole Castoff, was a brilliant man, so it was not surprising that she fell for him.
Cole and Jasper were about the same age, and they were chatting. Obviously, they were friends.
Shirley met gazes with Cole, who was looking at her, and she quickly averted her gaze. Looking at the adorable friend of hers, Willow sighed. Time flies. I’ve found the love of my life and am about to get married, while Shirley has someone she likes. “Shirley, trust me. If you like him, you have to seize the chance,” said Willow. This was her experience in relationships.
Shirley looked at Cole. Frustrated, she said, “I’m not good enough for him.”
Willow pulled her closer and looked at her seriously. “You’re good enough. Be confident in yourself. You deserve the best the world has to offer.”
Shirley hugged Willow. “You too, Willow.”
Willow patted her. Just then, Jasper came to them, and Willow stood up, holding Shirley’s hand. “I’ll make the introductions, then.”
Shirley followed her over to Jasper. Willow said, ‘Jasper, this is my best friend, Shirley.”
Jasper smiled. ‘I know. I know your father, and I respect him.”
Excited, Shirley said, “It’s an honor to meet you, sir. You’re my idol.” Willow chuckled. “We’re about the same age. Don’t use honorifics. You make him sound like an old man.”
Shirley smiled as well. “Sure, I’ll call you Jasper, then.”
Jasper nodded with a smile. “Of course. We’ll be going now, then.” Jasper took Willow’s hand. A moment ago, he was a strict instructor, but a moment later, he was a gentle boyfriend.
Shirley waved them goodbye and saw them off. She turned around and saw Cole walking toward her. Shy, she quickly turned around and tried to leave. However, Cole stopped her. “A minute, Shirley.”
Shirley looked back and tensed up. “What do you need, captain?” Cole stared at her, trying to say something, and then he smiled. “Nothing. Just want to say you’re doing great in the training. We’ll meet again.”
Shirley knew it was the last day of training, and he wouldn’t be the instructor for the next three days. She nodded. ‘See you around, Cole.”
Cole nodded and was about to leave, but Willow’s message was ringing in Shirley’s head. She couldn’t help but call out to him. “Cole, wait.”
Cole looked back. The setting sun shone on him, making him look strong, tough, and tall. He was young, but he had a rugged air around him.
Girls loved men like him. “Anything else?” Cole asked, his eyes filled with anticipation. Shirley took a deep breath and looked at him. “Cole, can you ask to get assigned to my dad’s base?”
Cole smiled. “Why?”
“Because I…” Shirley was a little embarrassed to say her feelings out loud. Cole was such a righteous man, and yet she was trying to flirt with him. It was inappropriate. She held back her feelings. “I’d like to come to your class again.”
A hint of disappointment flickered in Cole’s eyes, but he nodded happily. “I’ll make the application when I can.”
Cole left. Shirley saw him off and heaved a sigh. She bit her lip, cursing her cowardice. Shirley was worried she might let her father down. She was only twenty-three and had yet to serve the country. If she jumped straight into love, she might look like a failure.
She didn’t dare to talk about her feelings. If she had the chance, she would serve the country instead of wasting time on something like love.
Cole walked further and further away. Shirley sighed and turned around, but she didn’t notice that Cole was standing nearby, seeing her off before he went away himself. Willow came back to her home and sat Jasper down. Earnestly, she asked, “Hey, Jasper, are you close with Cole?”
Jasper looked at her curiously and nervously at the same time. She’s asking about another man? Noticing his nervousness, Willow wrapped her arms around his neck. “Don’t get jealous. This is for someone else. Just tell me about him.”
Jasper heaved a sigh of relief. He then remembered that Willow had talked to Shirley for a while just earlier, and he knew who this was for instantly. A moment later, he said, “He’s my junior. We’re on amicable terms, and he graduated at the top of his batch. A nice guy.”
Willow was happy for her friend. She couldn’t ask about his family, however. Jasper held her arm and pulled her aside. “I need to bathe. Smells like sweat.”
Willow pushed him back down on the couch. “You’re not leaving. I’m not complaining, you know.”
Jasper loved this. She knows how to cheer me up. Just then, Willow’s phone buzzed. She picked it up. One of her suitors had texted her.
Willow mused over her reply and texted, ‘Sorry, but I’m engaged. Please stop disturbing me.”
Jasper saw the reply. He loved that she said she was engaged, and his smile got bigger.. After Willow sent the text, she put her phone down and leaned in Jasper’s embrace. “I think we can skip the engagement party and go straight for the wedding.”
Jasper patted the back of her head. “That’s unfair for you. I want to give you a complete wedding.”
