Fiona's eyes were glued to Spencer's face, and she seemed to have forgotten how to look away. Spencer, he was still the same as before. However, their meet again made the stirred feelings in her heart were only known by herself.
"What's wrong with you, Fiona?" Robert asked in a low voice when he saw Fiona's pale face.
"No, nothing.." Before she could finish her sentence, Fiona froze for a second. As she came to herself, she turned around, put on a forced smile and replied, "I'm not feeling well."
Robert frowned and said with concern, "But you can't go away now. I'll send you back to your dormitory after that drillmaster leaves!"
"What? Okay. " Fiona nodded her head blankly. She could feel the approaching aura of Spencer. Her fingertips were cold. Suddenly, she lowered her head. The brim of her hat covered her eyes, as if she had lost her consciousness.
"Hi, Mr. Spencer," James walked forward and saluted to Spencer, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Spencer, welcome you come here."
"Hi, Mr. James." Spencer shook hands with James. Several people from the following cars politely shook hands with James.
After a brief greeting, James smiled and said, "We are all waiting for our mysterious drillmaster to come. The superior has been keeping it a secret from us. We are not allowed to know who is coming. We don't expect it is Mr. Spencer. Welcome! Welcome!"
'Keep it a secret?'? Spencer talked to him in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on his face. He just nodded and said, "In the following few days, I have to bother you."
"That's our honor." James made a gesture of 'please', took Spencer to the front of the team and said, "Let me introduce him to you guys," James pointed to Spencer, "This is Spencer, the elite of the Residential Compound of M City, who is also the commander in chief of our October exercise. During this training period, we should fully cooperate with his work. Do you understand?"
"Understand!"
"Okay." "Let's welcome Mr. Spencer to say something." said James
Spencer looked around and saw the only one who kept her head down in the line, it was Fiona. He was surprised, but soon he looked away.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Spencer Cheng. You can call me Drillmaster. Cheng..."
"Hello, everyone. I'm your military officer. First of all, my last name is Cheng. As for the first name, you don't have to know. You can just call me Drillmaster Cheng... "
The voice of Spencer gradually overlapped a vague sound in her memory. There was nothing but a buzzing in Fiona's head. She had thought about the scene when she met Spencer again, maybe it was in Grandpa's ward saying "long time no see," or maybe she passed on a strange street, but she never thought of seeing him in the base.
Maybe the most dangerous place was also not the safest place. 'What should I do? What should I do?' Fiona wondered, clenching her fist and digging her nails into her flesh.
"Fiona, Fiona?"
"Miss Fiona?"
When she was lost in thought, she was pushed by someone. Staring at Fiona in surprise, Bruce urged her in a low voice, "Miss Fiona, what are you thinking about? Hurry up!"
"What?" Feeling that everyone was looking at her, Fiona asked with a trembling voice, "What should I do?"
Bruce felt speechless and gritted his teeth and pushed Fiona out.
Shuddering, Fiona was pushed to the front of Spencer. She felt embarrassed and at a loss.
But this scene was seen by Spencer who stood in the front of the crowd. He stared at Fiona and said, "It seems that this lady didn't listen to my speech just now. Are you the instructor? "
"I... I'm sorry." Still lowering her head, Fiona answered, "Yes, I am."
"Raise your head." Staring at the brim of her hat, Spencer said coldly. She had been lowering her head and didn't look at him all the time. Didn't the instructor in base of NJ City realize that?
Fiona closed her eyes to calm herself down. After she made up her mind, she slowly raised her chin and looked at Spencer. All the memories flashed through her mind and became clear. But what was she afraid of? If she had to be held accountable for what happened between her and Spencer, it was not her fault. He would be a stranger if they met again.
When their eyes met, the air seemed to be frozen.
The expression on Spencer's face which had been slightly infuriated changed suddenly. His heart ached for some inexplicable reason. His eyes flashed a trace of hesitation. He stared at Fiona, opened his mouth but did not know what to say.
Petrified, Fiona was eager to run away from here. 'Spencer, how do you feel when you see me again?
All the people standing behind them could feel the sudden change of atmosphere, but none of them dared to break it. The scene in which the couple stood together was eye-catching.
"You... You look so familiar..." After a long while, Spencer said slowly.
Look familiar? Fiona was shocked and sad, with a hint of self mockery. 'Is he kidding me? Look familiar? He said she looked familiar? How heartless he was! He just said that she looked familiar to him and the distance between them widened.
Noticing the incredible look on Fiona's face, Spencer furrowed his brows and asked in a voice that could only be heard by the two, "Did we know each other before? My head was hurt and I lost my memory. "
Fiona's pupil contracted abruptly, and all the emotions surged up in her heart, causing her mind to be blank, and only the words to come back. He lost her memory. Spencer had lost his memory...
