Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1355

Maggie was listening to Monica, but her eyes were fixed on Cain. She always did like things that are pleasing to her eyes, including handsome men. She did, however, have some propriety. She knew how far to go and when to stop. Nevertheless, she froze when the new instructor's eyes halted on her. He was like a deep ancient lake that she could not help but want to explore. She wanted to discover his secret, but maybe she would fall into a bottomless abyss.

"Comrade Maggie Du, you're a married woman now," Monica reminded her, giving her friend a small nudge. "Don't have a crush on anyone but Captain Edgar." Saying that, she realized the joy of being single, and reveled in the freedom that she had. As Cain walked away, she followed him with her eyes, even after his figure disappeared into a darkened shadow, half visible and half invisible against the white snow.

Maggie didn't take her eyes off Cain until he disappeared from her sight. The sighs and chatters of all the girls suddenly overwhelmed her ears. It seemed that Cain had replaced Edgar in their hearts just from a single glimpse of the instructor. Maggie looked around her female classmates, not in the mood for a snowball fight anymore. She told them that she wanted to stop, and that she intended to go back to her dormitory.

"Wait for me!"

Monica cried. Maggie didn't stop walking, but waited until her friend tackled her from behind, knocking her shoulder and linking her arm with hers. Maggie turned to see her friend grinning at her.

"What's wrong? You're unhappy to find a man more handsome than your husband?" Monica teased. "Or it wasn't until just now that you realized that you married too early and you couldn't look at any other man?"

Maggie sighed, looking down again. "Neither of those," she said sulkily. She didn't know why, but she felt as though Cain could see through her every time he looked at her, despite the calm and peaceful look that he had. As a result, she felt restless and uneasy. "Neither," she said again. "I don't know why, but I felt uncomfortable when I looked at that man."

"What?" Monica stopped walking and looked at her friend confusedly. Why did Cain make Maggie uncomfortable? He was a whole different level of handsome and attractive, and he was nothing short of a perfect light to her eyes and to her mind. It seemed unfathomable that he would cause distress to anyone, even to a married woman.

Maggie shook her head, unsure how to explain what she was feeling. She gave her friend a look, and both of them headed back to the dormitory. Even after taking a shower, Maggie still felt restless and uneasy. Not in the mood to do anything, she lay on her bed, took out her phone, and sent Edgar a text message.

"I met the new instructor, the very handsome one, just now. I don't know why but I feel uneasy. Come and console me."

Meanwhile, Edgar was with Claire, and they were talking about the recent development of S Army. It was not until now that he had the chance to ask her why she had come to work as a temporary instructor in National Defense University.

"The higher leadership hope the students here would have deep understanding of disguise skills while improving their military capability," Claire answered with a smile. "While you were engaged in peace keeping abroad, I was sent to A Country to study for a period of time, so..." She shrugged. "I didn't decline."

Edgar nodded. He was about to ask another question when his phone buzzed in his pocket. "Excuse me," he said to Claire as he fished it out. He checked the message from Maggie and replied, frowning slightly.

"I'll talk to you later when I'm not busy anymore," he wrote.

Seeing his short and very simple message, Maggie frowned, annoyed. "Hmm...You're always busy... What are you doing? Are you busy thinking about how to torture us?"
