"Ten thirty." Koa Jackson took out his phone and glanced at it.
The glow from the phone reflected on his hand with such smooth lines; it really looked good.
Mia Ginger suddenly reached out and held it, looked up and smiled at him, saying softly, "Brother Jackson, your hand is really good-looking."
Koa Jackson chuckled lightly, pinched her cheek, "Still not awake?"
"I want to be with you." Still a bit sleepy, Mia Ginger hugged his arm, softly whined, "Can I not go back to school? I want to be with you."
Happiness came too suddenly; she truly didn’t want to leave.
The thought of returning made her heart ache.
"Are you silly?" Koa Jackson pinched her chin and glanced at her, "What time is your military training tomorrow?"
"Six o’clock." Mia Ginger sighed.
"Then that’s settled, isn’t it?" Koa Jackson laughed, tightened his grip on her hand, and coaxed, "I’ll come see you tomorrow night."
"Really?" Mia Ginger looked up.
Mia Ginger withdrew her hand and after a long look, grumbled, "I won’t wash up tonight."
"..." Koa Jackson raised his eyebrow and glanced at her.
Mia Ginger blushed with a shy smile, tapped her forehead and cheeks with her fingertips, then shook her fists.
Koa Jackson couldn’t help but laugh, pulled her up from his arms, and said in a low voice, "I’ll drive you inside."
"Okay." Mia Ginger responded with a hint of grievance.
Sitting properly in her seat, she waited for Koa Jackson to go to the driver’s side, then leaned her head over, smiling as she looked at his profile.
"Sit properly." Koa Jackson turned his head and saw her flushed face, laughing despite himself.
Mia Ginger didn’t respond, just tilted her head and gazed at him.
Where her heart had once been barren, it now seemed to bloom with a sea of flowers.
She felt she was actually quite hopeless.
Just the tiniest bit of gentle compassion from Koa Jackson made her feel completely satisfied, and all previous grievances and disappointments vanished without a trace.
Thoughts of giving up, thoughts of leaving—all those ideas disappeared at this moment.
His brow, nose, lips, shoulders; any part of him could capture her gaze, and she could never see enough.
Cloud Capital School covers a large area.
Using the car to get around made it suddenly seem small.
Koa Jackson drove in and, in less than ten minutes, parked on the shaded road not far from Mia Ginger’s dormitory building.
