I frowned slightly, mulling over it in my mind. Could Flora really have fallen in love with someone else?
“Sylvia, try this durian pizza! It’s delicious!” Flora held out a slice of pizza in front of me, happy to share her goodies.
But my scalp tingled at the mention of “durian”. I grabbed my dirty clothes and hastily made my escape.
“Enjoy your food. I’m going to do the laundry first.”
In this dormitory building, every floor was equipped with a laundry room. I trotted over to the laundry room on my floor and tossed my dirty clothes into the washing machine.
While waiting, I still thought about Flora’s situation.
I pulled out my phone, intending to check social media for clues. I wanted to chat with Warren to ask him about what happened. Only now did I realize that I had muted his contact.
I blinked at my phone screen in surprise. Perhaps I muted him by accident. Fortunately, Warren seldom chatted with me.
I un-muted him and started typing. Just as I was about to hit send, I figured it’d be better to just call him.
But before the call connected, I hung up.
Staring at my phone, I scratched my head warily.
What if it was true? What if Flora had actually dumped Warren and fallen for someone else?
If I brought it up with Warren again, I’d probably be rubbing salt into his fresh wounds, and I didn’t want to do that.
I sighed. This was the first time I worried about a love life other than my own.
Flora was my best friend. I needed to support her. But Warren was also my friend…
I don’t know what I would do if the three of us crossed paths.
What if Warren asked me to help him get Flora back? Should I help him or not?
While I was deep in thought, my phone suddenly rang. It was Warren.
I was so nervous that I lost my grip on my phone. It slipped out of my hands and fell into a washbasin.
My heart sank to my stomach. I fished the phone out of the basin and found that the screen had gone dark. I didn’t dare to turn on the phone right away. Instead, I rushed back to my room to wipe the wet phone with a dry towel.
Flora looked up at what I was doing and tilted her head to the side curiously. “What happened to your phone?”
“I dropped it,” I mumbled, feeling very distressed. After wiping it, I tried turning the phone on again, but to no avail. It probably had water inside.
“Can I see?” Flora picked up my phone and began to inspect it. “I think there’s water in it. Let’s try using a blow dryer.”
But in the end, even the blow drying didn’t work its magic. There was nothing I could do but put my phone on the table and wait until tomorrow to check it again.
That evening, I borrowed Flora’s phone and called Rufus.
I sat on the bench in the corridor and caught up with him for a while. I was relieved to find out that Blair was in relatively good condition and wasn’t in any mortal danger for the time being.
After hanging up the phone and returning to my room, I found that Flora had already fallen asleep. She not only ate a lot recently, but also slept better.
I walked over quietly, put her phone on her bedside table, and picked up her blanket from the floor.
The following morning, the first thing I did was check my phone. To my relief, it finally turned on. I happily waited for the phone to boot up, but then I recalled how Warren had tried to call me. Feeling guilty, I turned it off again.
I would just pretend it was still broken. Anyway, I couldn’t use my phone during the military training.
Sylvia’s POV
Just like at school, the army also had morning exercises, and we would all gather at the training ground at five o’clock in the morning.
Since Flora went to bed early last night, she got up earlier than me today and went to the canteen to get breakfast.
After freshening up in the bathroom, I found that Flora was eating her third sandwich.
I couldn’t help but frown slightly. Could she keep eating like this? She would probably get overweight and fail the fitness test if she kept this up.
So I confiscated the rest of her breakfast and ate them myself.
She had bought a lot of food, so even though I only had her leftovers, I ended up too full.
I burped all the way to the training ground. There, we found Harry.
Thankfully, he carried indigestion pills with him. I didn’t feel better until I took two.
But Harry never had a stomach problem, so why would he have those pills with him in the first place? I was perplexed.
Only in that moment did I realize that all my friends were acting weirdly lately.
I also noticed only then that Harry had shaved his hair. Standing side by side, he and Flora looked like fraternal twins.
Harry touched his head and then touched Flora’s. “Your head is a lot rounder than mine.”
“Woah, really?” Flora stretched out her hand to check for herself.
The two of them began to discuss heatedly, comparing whose head was rounder.
Many soldiers had gathered on the training grounds by then, and they were training in different groups. We heard loud and clear voices, one after another.
I looked around, looking for our missing team member. Warren was still in the hospital and couldn’t participate in the team training for the time being, so I was looking for someone else.
Sure enough, the quiet John was standing in the distance, looking at us quietly. He looked like a fish out of water amidst the lively atmosphere.
This reminded me of the time when I was the black sheep of the pack.
