Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1309 Extra Story 64 Of Edgar Meet Again

Seeing how persistent yet miserable Maggie looked, Monica could not help but sigh and speak with a dry voice. "Maggie, I don't know what happened to you when you stayed at the Eagle Special Brigade, but if there is anything you can't let go of, you'd better not try to force yourself to let go of it, because I know you're a person who stubbornly insists on following your own ideas. If you give up, you will feel even more distressed."

Maggie turned her head to look at Monica, her eyes swelled with tears and her lips quivered because of what Monica had said. Her bosom friend knew and understood her too well! She should not have tried to live her life in this way, but love was so excruciating. For so many years, she had longed for Edgar and worked hard in order to get closer to him. Before leaving the Eagle Special Brigade, she truly believed that she had finally made such an impact that she could leave with her heart resting easy. However, later it seemed as though Edgar hadn't taken her seriously at all. Perhaps, from the beginning to the end, he believed that she was only joking.

With these thoughts running through her mind, Maggie set her cellphone aside and hugged Monica. In a soft voice, she mumbled, "Thank you, Monica. You're so kind. I'm so lucky to have you by my side."

While rolling her eyes, Monica hugged Maggie in return. In a sharp tone, she chided then, "All right. It isn't like you to say so many disgustingly gooey words. All you have to do is keep up your hopes and get back to being the tough girl I've always known. Look at yourself now! I just can't bear seeing you being so sentimental."

Despite being moved by the support, Maggie felt speechless. Yes, she was a tough girl, but Monica was no different. They could not bear expressing their feelings in such girly talk.

Nevertheless, Maggie felt a warmth inside her heart again. While Edgar was no longer here, she still had two bosom friends-Monica and Benjamin. Maybe she had been paying attention to the wrong things in her life. She was in college now, but she was still thinking about the Eagle Special Brigade.

Perhaps it was because of her sudden epiphany that she recovered very soon. However, a sudden heavy snow storm blew in, preventing her complete recovery from the influenza. Fortunately, the blisters on her mouth had gradually disappeared. Now she only coughed occasionally, which didn't matter that much.

As for the short messages to Edgar... After talking with Monica in the dormitory, Maggie thought it might be better for her to stop sending short messages to him, because without any response from him, these were meaningless. She thought she might go to the army to visit her father when the New Year came. By then, she could ask William to give consideration to his daughter's marriage and require Edgar to talk with her face to face.

Despite her plan to abstain from messaging him, she still sent a short message to Edgar when she lay on the bed in the evening. From that day onwards, the content of the short message she sent to Edgar every night remained the same... "Edgar, I miss you. Do you miss me?"

Perhaps once she had fallen in love with somebody, she could not give up until she was hurt irreparably or became mentally and physically exhausted. Obviously she hadn't been hurt that badly yet. Because of this, she was still persistent.

Biting the pen in her hand, Maggie looked out of the window, lost in thought. The white snow covering world outside always looked dreamlike and encouraged people to indulge in their fantasies. A professor on the platform was droning on about different countries' opinions about and research on new type missile technologies. Certainly, the professor could only speak on something that was available to everybody, because any new type of missile technology was considered the top secret of a country.

After discussing some general knowledge about new type missile technologies, the professor declared distressing yet exciting news. Which was, they would have their final examination of the semester in a week. The leaders of all the armies would pay much attention to their examination results, which might partly determine which unit they would work at upon graduation. On the other hand, since the examinations were coming soon, their vacation was also not too far away, albeit, it would not last long. It was estimated that their vacation would be for about twenty days, including the first day of the New Year.

With a burst of cheers, they saw the professor off from the classroom with their eyes demurely turned down. Many students even offered half bows of respect to the professor. Due to the strict discipline of military colleges, the atmosphere when a class was over was different from other ordinary colleges, where a classroom would become as noisy and messy as a fish market.

Maggie was packing up her things as she had no intentions of attending the next class. She had taken battle commanding strategies and psychological warfare as selective courses. Now her aim was no longer about getting closer to Edgar. Going forward, she wanted to fight side by side with him!

Perhaps she was too obsessed.

However, Maggie looked calm now. Because of her choice and decision, Monica and Benjamin were dragged by her into also taking the two selective courses. It was okay for Benjamin. As a male student, he was quite interested in these topics. However, Monica was reluctant. In the end, she took the two courses only because she didn't want to part with Maggie or Benjamin. Therefore, she could do nothing but try to find something interesting in the two courses.

As soon as Maggie walked out of the classroom, a fellow junior student, who had a shoulder epaulet of student, approached her. After giving Maggie a salute, he said seriously, "Excuse me, there's somebody at the gate of the college waiting to meet you." With a curt nod, Maggie said, "Thank you."

Hearing this, the boy grinned and scratched his head. "You're welcome. I'm on gate duty today," he said awkwardly.

"Do you know who the visitor at the gate is?" Maggie asked, not wanting to walk needlessly to the gate.

The boy shook his head blankly and answered, "I don't know him, but he was chatting with old Wilson at the gate. I guess he isn't some bad guy."

With a smile, Maggie looked at the shy boy. She glanced at her watch and realized that her selective course would not begin for another half an hour. This time was enough for her to take a walk to the gate of the college. After giving the young junior student a smile, she expressed her gratitude and turned departed from the teaching building. Perhaps it was because she was absent-minded that she didn't notice Monica or Benjamin. The two of them had come to join her for the selective course, but when they saw her leaving the building, taken by curiosity, they followed her out of the building as well.

The teaching building was not far from the gate of the college. Besides, she always walked quickly. As a result, it only took five minutes for her to arrive at the gate.

Maggie had been lost in longing and disappointment for such a long time, that when Edgar finally stood in front of her, she thought that he was a figment of her own delusions. She thought it was because she had missed him too much that she was imagining him standing in front of her.

All of a sudden, Maggie felt her nose burn with emotional itching, and her eyes reddened at the same time. Her sight was blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes. Her tears were about to burst through her eyelids and shower her cheeks with suppressed longing. Edgar had been talking with Wilson happily, while he looked at the campus once in a while. Since he had caught sight of Maggie, he hadn't taken his eyes away from her.

A faint smile played at the corners of his mouth, which looked both casual and gentle, yet also diabolical! Standing in front of Edgar, Maggie was laughing and crying at the same time. She didn't know whether her tears were coming from sorrow or happiness. She just couldn't control herself or prevent herself from weeping openly. In frustration, she didn't know why she couldn't stop her crying. Finally, she just let her tears flow, without any other response.

"Are you waiting for this girl?" old Wilson asked while looking at Maggie with a big smile on his face. As far as Maggie could remember, he had been the gatekeeper of the college since she had entered the college. His identity seemed somewhat mystical. At least, he had the aura of a serviceman, which was absent in other older men.

Edgar answered him with a nod and a smile. Looking at Maggie, he asked, "What's wrong? What silly cause do you have for crying now?"

Biting her lip, Maggie cried out as soon as she heard the same familiar voice as in her memory. At that moment, her nerves which had been so tensed for such a long period of time unwound all at once. While wiping the tears from her face with her hands, she ran to Edgar and encircled his waist with her arms, completely uncaring about her public image. Burying her face in his broad muscular chest, she began weeping.

Old Wilson wasn't someone who knew how to behave in a delicate situation like this. He was supposed to retreat from the scene, but he didn't seem to know what to do at the moment. On the contrary, while hinting at the students on guard to turn their backs to Edgar and Maggie, he himself enjoyed watching the moving scene.

Seeing that Maggie was weeping almost hysterically, Edgar felt his heart was about to break. Frowning slightly, he tried to put a leash on the overwhelming emotions which roared in his heart. Then he opened his mouth. "Maggie, I..."

He didn't finish his sentence, because he wasn't able to. All of his unspoken words were intercepted by Maggie's lips, which reached up to his and tasted salty because of her tears.
