He had seen twice.
The girl was slightly taller than Mia Ginger, looking reserved and composed, well-mannered—a girl who appeared very proper, and she should have been her only friend.
Just like that... gone?
Yesterday?
He wasn’t at work, and if it wasn’t for accidentally encountering the doctor from the ergency departnt, he might never have known about this.
Mia Ginger could explain it.
But instead—
Her only good friend had passed away so tragically, she chose to lean on Louis Cox’s embrace to heal and didn’t reveal a single word to him.
Thinking of that scene last night, Koa Jackson suddenly sighed.
Driving towards Cloud Capital University.
Already aware, an apology is always necessary.
It happened to be the evening rush hour, the roads were very congested, and by the ti he finally drove to the school gate, it was already past seven in the afternoon.
From afar, he could see the silhouettes of students in military training standing in formation on the square.
Koa Jackson parked the car at the sa spot as last ti, turned off the engine, and sent Mia Ginger a text ssage.
"I’m waiting for you at the main gate of the school, call when you see it."
As a result—
Mia Ginger only saw it after nine in the evening.
She looked at it twice before realizing Koa Jackson had indeed sent the text after seven.
Two hours?
He should be gone by now, right?
She didn’t change her clothes, holding her phone, went to the balcony, and dialed Koa Jackson.
"Are you resting?"
As soon as the call connected, Koa Jackson’s voice ca through.
"Yeah." Mia Ginger hesitated slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "During military training, we’re not allowed to bring phones."
"I know."
"Co out, I’m at the school gate."
Koa Jackson said twice in a row, ending the call.
Mia Ginger was a bit dazed.
Standing with her phone on the balcony for a little while, then went back inside, sat in the chair, and continued to be in a daze.
After a while, she went straight out.
Still wearing the camouflage uniform from military training, she hadn’t changed.
The dicine on her knee had reduced the swelling, not as painful as in the morning, but she still walked slowly, taking nearly half an hour to arrive at the school gate with a complex expression.
Koa Jackson had already gotten out of the car.
Standing on the roadside steps waiting for her, tall and erect, even more so than the locust tree next to him.
Zoey Leaf’s matter had been dealt with but also caused a stir online. All departnts emphasized safety discipline today, and now near ten, the school gate was already deserted, the sidewalk seed very quiet.
The street lamp encompassed his silhouette, painting a circle of soft light.
Mia Ginger walked towards him, pursed her lips, after a while, and called out, "Brother Jackson."
Koa Jackson turned around.
"Hungry? Want to eat sothing?" he asked.
"Not hungry." Mia Ginger smiled, "It’s very late, already ready to sleep."
After speaking, she fell into sudden silence.
Lowered her head slightly to the side, without saying a word.
"Still mad?" Koa Jackson placed a hand on her hair, gently rubbing, and asked softly.
Mia Ginger was taken aback, glancing sideways at him.
"I heard about Zoey Leaf’s matter, did I wrongly accuse you yesterday?"
"Not really." Mia Ginger smiled faintly, "I originally planned to smoke. If it weren’t for your sudden appearance, I would have started."
Her voice was calm, the hand Koa Jackson placed on her head suddenly stiffened.
Retracted, he lowered his eyes to examine her.
"I’m not a lady." Mia Ginger looked at him with a tone of unprecedented calm and sincerity, "Brother Jackson, you’ve always known. I speak harshly, act impulsively, resort to physical ans over disagreents, and often like to push people. Hardly a graceful, dignified girl, I... might be like this for the rest of my life, with a terrible temper, stubborn, never able to change."
