James was surprised to see Silence.
Silence was serving the army. As a member of the special troops, he had to keep his whereabouts secret and barely had any vacation.
Silence asked, "Can you resist your impulse in face of such a young girl?"
They were all adults so sometimes they talked about sex life frankly.
"..."
James looked sullen and tried to punch him, but he keenly noticed that Silence's arm was bulging. He stopped in time.
"You are injured?"
"Nothing big deal."
Silence glanced at his wound indifferently and said, "I'm quite interested in that girl."
James was speechless.
They were truly his BEST friends!
"The girl is a rare beauty. In a few years, she will definitely become a goddess." Will said honestly.
"What about her character?" Silence asked.
"Good question. I know many beautiful women, but not many of them are smart." Rory answered.
Rory was a well-known playboy and had no type. But he insisted that his bosom friend deserved a girlfriend not only beautiful, but good-natured and considerate.
"Rory, zip your mouth." James warned.
"Hey, look at James' look." Rory curled his lips and said, "Need I find you another woman to cool you down?"
"Fuck off!"
James was really angry, and no one else dared to say anything anymore.
Will changed a topic. Silence seldom had any vacation. They chatted for a few more minutes. James looked at the wound on Silence's arm, sent him back to the hotel early.
"Are you really interested in that girl?" Silence asked seriously after they got in the car.
James started the car and lapsed into silence for a moment.
"That's a yes."
They grew up together and were bosom friends for many years. They could read each other's mind, especially when it came to girlfriends.
"Will and Rory were just joking. Don't take it seriously." James sneered.
"You could fool them around with the excuse that she is your friend's daughter, but it doesn't work with me." Silence looked at him with a smile.
He knew that James was not such a kind-hearted person who would help his friend's daughter just for the sake of friendship. He even went to the hospital to keep the girl company when she was sick.
James was not a doctor. He just wanted to make sure that everything was OK with the girl.
James seldom showed any concern for any one after his grandfather's death, not even when Zoey, who was close to him, was hospitalized.
James rubbed his forehead helplessly, "She treats me as an uncle. How could I have other purposes on her?"
He could always get whatever he wanted.
However, when it came to Kara, he was not sure about his feelings for her, not to mention to get her.
As a man in his late twenties, what he needed was not a relationship for fun. He wanted to settle down.
"Is that so?" Silence sneered.
James noticed that Silence became sharp-tongued after he joined the army.
For a moment, it was dead silent in the car.
"James, do you believe in love at first sight?"
Suddenly, Silence asked.
"Has your brain got injured as well?" James looked at him strangely.
Silence sneered, "I wish. But unfortunately, that's not the case."
