Love Began with the First Meeting

Considering the unshakable military discipline, Edgar and Maggie had to keep a distance from each other while on campus no matter how close they usually were outside the school. After all, Edgar was the commander in chief of instructors, while Maggie was only a trainee. Being mobbed by Benjamin and Monica for details of her holiday, Maggie took advantage of what happened on Dragon Island to evade the crucial point, while gifting them with presents. After all, the fact that she and Edgar had visited the base camp of Dragon Island and that she and Addison had then studied further how to alter ballistic range was confidential and could not be revealed.

"Well, it's rumored that we will have two new instructors tomorrow," Benjamin suddenly shared.

Maggie frowned and looked at Benjamin with confusion.

"Don't you know?" Benjamin found she had not expected the news so he questioned, "Your captain never told you about it?"

Maggie shook her head frowning.

Amy couldn't tolerate Benjamin anymore and laughed at him, "As you know, her captain is always busy flirting with her, so how could he possibly find the time to tell her something like that? It will be announced tomorrow after all." When she finished speaking, she winked and gave Maggie a broad grin.

were.

Maggie was thick-skinned when it came to her acquaintances, especially with Monica and Benjamin. Hearing her sarcastic remark, Maggie shook her head with pride and didn't give a damn. However, she froze after hearing from Benjamin who exactly those instructors "It's reported that one of them has overseas experience, while the other one is a military genius who, although not involved in a field of study, is still a legend." After a second's thought, Benjamin lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "In addition, there's another girl who comes from S Army. She's already made the rank of lieutenant at such a young age. Well, what's her name..." Through great effort, he eventually remembered and uttered words Maggie didn't want to hear. "It's Claire Qin! She is well-known in the artillery brigade." Maggie's lips trembled with instant rage and she couldn't believe her ears. "Pardon? What's her name again?"

"Claire Qin!" Benjamin was one hundred percent sure, but he was confused by Maggie's pale face. "What's wrong? Why are you acting so weird?" The colour had left Maggie's face completely and she trembled violently.

She glanced at Monica who was also curious about her reaction, and then looking at Benjamin, she ground her teeth and admitted, "She is my rival in love."

"A-ha..." Monica had never imagined such an answer from Maggie, so she rolled her eyes to show her contempt to Maggie. "Is that all? Please don't forget that you're now married to your captain. Is there still any need to treat her like an enemy?"

"Couldn't agree more!" Benjamin echoed, and then shifted the topic to something else. "I think you shouldn't forget about the military genius." He was really excited and kept talking. "Although I'm not sure about his name yet, and didn't manage to get any more juicy details, it is widely reported that he is quite a handsome guy. What matters the most is that he is supposedly very nice, and was elected as the perfect companion at night and the ideal partner by local voters." He held an evil grin and finished his disclosure dramatically. "And someone you would want to sleep with!"

Maggie was struggling with an awkward mixture of emotions and she couldn't explain it yet, but she knew that it had to do with Claire coming to serve as her new instructor. However, she had no idea why, but when Benjamin was talking about the new talent, she felt uneasy as if it was a natural instinct to react to the unknown risks or dangers.

Formal training was scheduled to kick off tomorrow.

Since there were quite a large group of people due to receive the training, and the two newcomers would also be joining in, it was necessary for Edgar to organize a brief meeting beforehand.

It didn't take a genius to see that Claire was incredibly feverish when she again got the chance to meet Edgar. However, as an instructor who had just come to the school and hardly even had a chance to unpack her belongings, Claire had heard nothing about the gossip concerning Maggie and Edgar, since most of the students were still on their vacations. This was why she immediately flashed an air of romance in front of Edgar. Besides, her designs on him could not be hidden by any ambiguity at all despite their long separation. Edgar, however, kept a distance from Claire while remaining silent and aloof. Meanwhile he looked at the gentleman with a plain smile who was sitting not far away from him. So after exchanging a brief greeting with Claire, Edgar stretched out his hand and greeted the man, "Hi, I'm Edgar Gu."

In reply, the man stood and shook hands with Edgar. "Hello, I've heard so much about you. My name is Cain Nan." While speaking, Cain wore a broader smile. "I hope that we can have a pleasant time working together."

Edgar nodded in agreement with him and offered a polite smile. "Please have a seat." Meanwhile, he also settled down, and continued, "I know Claire already, but I've only seen your resume. You are so young and promising, and I really appreciate that." Cain shook his head to show his modesty before reacting with great dignity, "We are specialized in different areas, which cannot be compared directly."

Looking at the calm smile on Cain's face, Edgar wondered that his expression was so confident but modest, leaving him with a pretty good first impression. However, that might not be the best thing, because his duty in this situation didn't allow for him to judge the world in terms of his first impressions.

"Cain has just got off the plane..." Claire batted her eyelashes at Cain with a seductive smile, and then said to Edgar, "It landed just a few hours ago."

"Really?" Edgar was surprised by this revelation to some extent, but he didn't push the issue, since it was not relevant to their discussion at the moment. So he steered the subject back on course. "Tomorrow we are going to start our training. Since everyone has just arrived, you must try to swiftly become familiar with the surroundings. I will keep the brief short..."

Cain and Claire listened attentively to what Edgar instructed, including the purpose of this training, what patterns it was going to build up, and so on. This training was a pilot project. Since the country was attaching even greater importance to military talents and training of senior commanders, it was highly possible that this type of training could become a popular trend.

The informal meeting lasted for almost an hour. Afterwards, Edgar was obliged to invite the two instructors to have a meal at the cafeteria, but Cain refused, explaining that he had just arrived and hadn't unpacked yet, so Edgar was forced to have dinner alone with Claire. Cain wandered around on campus, and tried to remember the layout of the campus in his mind. He needed to formulate substantial content for a wide range of training, so if he lacked a working knowledge of the current environment, that would hamper his progress. Suddenly, Cain stopped and turned around. His attention was drawn to a group of trainees playing around.

Since they were still on vacation, and the formal training would only begin tomorrow, they were bantering about it with both love and hatred in their voices. On the one hand, they could now get involved in snowball fights whole-heartedly, while on the other hand, the same snow would be freezing cold tomorrow.

A ghost of a smile appeared on Cain's handsome face. But when he set eyes on Maggie, his smile began to be broaden and his eyes focused on her. This girl was laughing free and easy, like a burning sun emitting warm rays of radiance, which attracted all around her to turn their heads and follow her movements.

As Maggie was busy having fun with her friends, she suddenly sensed a burning sensation and knew instinctively that she was being scrutinized. Perhaps it was due to her training which she received from the Falcon Commando, but she stopped and frowning searched for the uninvited beholder. Right at this moment, her eyes noticed Cain standing a short distance away looking right at her.

This man was pretty good-looking, even when compared to Edgar's combination of fortitude and elegance, Brian's angular face, and Eric's evil charisma. Once upon a time, Maggie had thought that she would never be mesmerized by any man other than Edgar. Nevertheless, the man in front of her made her heart flutter for a few seconds.

With a height of over 6 feet, hair blowing in the freezing wind, well formed eyes, a high-bridged nose, and lips in an angular diamond shape, he was indeed a handsome male specimen due to this perfect combination. All of these added to the deadly charisma emanating from him. It seemed that each of these facial features on their own could certainly be called pretty or sexy. However, the combination of these quickly turned into a deadly temptation for girls.

Maggie was so obsessed with Cain that even though she was struck by a snow ball, she gave no response at all. Within the fluctuating moment, and with her thoughts wondering, her senses quickly determined that this man was domineering. It seemed that he was such a mystery, that she had an impulse to explore what was hidden deep inside his heart.

"What's wrong, Maggie?" Monica asked without paying attention, but when she followed Maggie's line of sight, she was shocked speechless when she noticed the unfettered beauty of Cain. It took her quite a while to process what she saw and she couldn't help wondering aloud at his charm. "Wow! He is a god among mortals! On campus he will surely stand out among all the other men with his physical appeal. He is surely an evil charming thing!"

Gradually, other girls who were engaged in snowball fights had all stopped to observe Cain, but all they saw was the sight of his back. Despite this, his long legs, like a model's, and the sight of his back wrapped in a black cotton coat triggered endless imaginations. These few things were enough to arouse the curiosity of all the girls and they wondered what he looked like.

"Wow, he is unbelievably hot!" While exclaiming, Monica suddenly froze, and turned to Maggie. "Well, he didn't wear a military uniform." She grinned then. "So he is the so-called military genius, our new instructor?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
