Willow closed her laptop quickly and smiled. “Oh, why aren't you resting anymore?”
“You seem to have a lot of suitors,” Jasper asked, seemingly nonchalant. Willow smiled sweetly. “Of course. I'm
popular, after all.” She then cheered him up, “Not like | can control how many suitors | have, but you're the only
one | like.” She handed the laptop back to him. “Here you go.”
Jasper took the laptop and put it beside him, and then he pulled Willow into his embrace. Willow wrapped her
arms around his neck. “You can’t hold me. Not in this state. Putdown.”
Jasper shrugged it off. “You're not heavy enough to hurt me.” “You still can’t do this. Doctor's orders. You have to
rest. We have to listen to him,” said Willow.

Jasper still took her to the bedroom and placed her on the bed. Willow looked up and met his deep, dark gaze.
Her heart skipped a beat. He can’t be trying to... But that’s strenuous exercise. For his sake, she said solemnly,
“Don’t do anything rash tonight.”
There was a hint of mischief in Jasper’s eyes. He wasn’t going to listen to the doctor. He had never listened to
anyone ever since he cof age. Willow sat up, the look in her eyes stern. “You better behave, Jasper.”
He never listened to anyone... until that day, that was. His uncle’s advice all fell on deaf ears, but one look from
Willow, and he stopped misbehaving. Resigned, he pulled her into his embrace and pushed her down in his arms.
Willow was held tightly, and she patted his shoulders. “Alright, fine. You can do anything toonce you're all
better.”
That was tempting. Jasper chuckled. “Really?”
“Yep,” said Willow. She would do anything just to calm him down. She knew he wouldn't do anything to her
anyway.
Jasper calmed down like a cat. They got bathed and climbed into bed. Since Jasper couldn't sleep, Willow
couldn't sleep either. She rested in his embrace and searched for a movie to watch. A while later, she fell asleep.
Part of it was thanks to her not sleeping well the night before.
Jasper pulled her closer and kissed her forehead, and then he slept as well. Three days later, Willow finally found
where Shirley's dorm was. She decided to pay her a surprise visit. It was noon. The newbies who finished their
training had gone back to their dorms. Willow knocked on someone's door.
Someone opened up. A woman in tight training attire stood behind the door. Her hair was tied into a ponytail,

this base all the twere taller.
The woman looked at Willow for a few moments before she threw herself into Willow's arms in surprise. “Willow!
What brings you here?”
Willow happily hugged the girl. It was a coincidence they met here. “It’s been a while, Shirley. My dad told me
you were training here, so | came,” said Willow.
Shirley looked at her, surprised. “But how did you get in?” This is a training base, and it’s top secret. She was
surprised Willow showed up here. Willow couldn't hide her happiness. “My boyfriend's here, so | cwith him.”
“You have a boyfriend? And he’s from this base? Tellwho it is.” Shirley couldn’t wait to find out.
“Yep, It's Jasper,” said Willow. Shirley stared at Willow in awe. “You wooed the idol of this base? How?”
