Chapter 25 Quincy
Late at night, James came back to the villa, reeking of alcohol.
Lara had never seen James like that before. Although he looked as cold and smart as usual. However, the strong smell of alcohol all over his body meant that he was not as usual.
'It must be Lily,' Lara thought. Lily had gone to the army base for training these days. The villa, full of life these days at finally returned to its usual silence.
As soon as James entered, he walked into the living room and sat on the couch. The alcohol made him close his eyes and rub his temples.
Lara made some tea and put it on the table in a low voice.
"Mr. James, I guess you miss Miss Lillias," Lara sighed. "We miss Miss Lillias too. I wonder how she is doing these days..."
As James stopped massaging his temples and kept his eyes closed, he said, "don't worry..."
"Alas..."Lara swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue. She wanted to ask James to go to the school, but she was not in the position to get involved.
"Go to sleep," James interrupted.
After Lara left, James didn't drink the sober up tea. He just stared at the steam steaming on the tea cup, which looked wisps.
He was not a heavy drinker. What he needed is to be sober and calm all the time. But since he saw Lily today, he became upset. He even desperately asked Sean to drink with him.
Lying on the couch, James didn't move for a long time.
The peace of the day replaced the silence of the night.
Instead of being upset, Lily seemed to be full of energy after meeting James. The whole morning was full of energy training. Maybe it was because she felt relaxed, Lily felt the morning training particularly relaxed.
In fact, the instructors of the company were very shrewd. When he saw the chief commander looking for Lillias last night and heard that it was an order from the military, he thought that this person must be from a powerful background and wouldn't be an ordinary person. Therefore, he led the team to a tree lined place during the training, reduced the volume of the training, and naturally, Lily felt relaxed. With the whistle ringing, the training in the morning had ended.
After they came to the dining hall, Lily they lined up to have lunch.
She ate alone again. After Lily took the food, she consciously went to a corner and began to eat quietly.
"Hello!" Someone suddenly sat in front of Lily.
Lily looked up at the girl. The girl looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was.
"Ah! It's you! I felt a little familiar when I saw you last night. It turned out that I did know you. "The girl grinned, showing her white teeth.
The moment she saw the huge mouth with white teeth, she suddenly remembered that the person was the girl who dropped the book on the ground that day. "Nice to meet you again." Lily responded with a kind smile.
The girl raised her eyebrows and said, "it's fate. Thank you that day."
"It's okay," Seeing the girl so cheerful, Lily was envious of her.
"Ah, I have something to tell you. I will treat you a big meal after the military training. By the way, my name is Quincy Tong. What's your name? I didn't hear it clearly last night. "The girl opened her eyes wide and asked sincerely.
"My name is Lillias Ling." Lily murmured the girl's name in her heart.
"Wow, are you from A City? Your name sounds like a girl's. "Another grin.
Lily just smiled, without saying a word.
Her smile looked like a little fairy to Quincy.
Quincy was from the north and had a bold character. Her family consist of many men and few women, so even though she was a girl, her name showed that she was raised by her parents as a boy. "It's so beautiful when you smile." Quincy was straightforward and blurted out what was on her mind.
Lily changed the topic immediately because of shyness. Seeing that Quincy had not taken any food, she asked, "don't you have lunch?"
"I've already finished eating. I ran very fast. By the time you arrive, I've already finished." Said Quincy. She couldn't help feeling complacent when thinking of the boys who stayed behind her. Quincy's face was full of pride like a child, Lily thought she is very cute.
Then she seemed to remember something and asked, "what's your major?"
"Economics and management, what about you?"
"Damn it! Me too. What a coincidence!" Quincy was so happy that she almost stood up and slapped on the table.
Lily was happy when she heard that Quincy was the same major as hers. They learned the same major, which meant they might be able to have classes together in the future.
"I'm in the first class. What about you?"
"Damn it! Me too!"
It seemed that they could really learn together. Lily was so happy.
Seeing that Lily hadn't moved her chopsticks for a long time, Quincy hastily said, "eating first."
Then Lily continued eating, while Quincy muttered to herself, "ha. Be reasonable. We are destined to meet. We could skip classes together, no... We could have classes together." 'Skip classes?' Lily nearly choked on the rice, but Quincy immediately changed her words.
The Quincy talked to herself for a while. After finishing the meal, she dragged up Lily and strolled in the campus under the scorching sun. She named it "familiar with the environment.". Although Lily didn't know much about Quincy, she liked her straightforward character, so she didn't ask her to stop. As she liked Lily, Quincy was particularly enthusiastic. They got along very well.
Although Quincy and Lily were in the same class and the same major, they was in different squads and dormitory.
However, Quincy still loved Lily. Even though there was a distance between their dormitory, Quincy almost stayed in Lily's dorm for all the time except necessary time. Seeing Lily alone, Quincy decided to accompany Lily all the time in the future.
Seeing how thin Lily is, Quincy gives Lily all the snacks she brought from home.
If it weren't for the military discipline, Quincy would have let Lily sleep on her bed. Although she couldn't, but Quincy would concentrate on helping Lily hit the mosquitoes. Seeing Quincy bumped into the bed while hitting a mosquito, Lily was deeply moved. In a hurry, Lily massaged Quincy's head and asked, "does it hurt? Please don't pat it again."
Seeing the anxious expression on Lily's face, Quincy grinned. "It's not a big deal. My head is really hard. You should ask the bed if it hurts..."
The smile on Quincy's face reminded Lily of James. Just like James, Quincy didn't expect anything from Lily. Then Lily continued massaging Quincy's head and said in the same tone as her, "the bed is so painful. Did a stone hit me just now?"
"My head is even more powerful than a stone... "With a complacent look on her face, Quincy, even her eyes looked as cute as a child's.☐☐☐☐☐
