chapter 7 photo

A one-unit building in Zone A, room 601.

This is the dormitory assigned to Ricarlo Lee by Sky Academy.

The reception work for new students at Sky Academy was ridiculously simple. After confirming that the admission notices in the hands of Ricarlo Lee and Ingrid Brown were genuine, the senior student in charge of receiving new students simply entered their basic information into the archives. Inside, I told them their respective dormitory numbers and nothing more happened. I had no intention of personally leading the way for my juniors. I even skipped the procedure of giving directions.

Ricarlo Lee was not surprised by this. He knew from the very beginning that this was a special warfare academy filled with cruel competition, so he didn't expect there to be any human touch here at all, so he took the free school bus with Ingrid Brown. When they arrived at the dormitory area, the two briefly said goodbye at the gate of the dormitory area, and then Ricarlo Lee went directly to his dormitory.

It's said to be a dormitory, but it's actually a set of well-decorated apartments.

The accommodation area of ​​Sky Academy is very large. There are nearly 30 dormitories, all seven-story buildings. The inside and outside are no different from ordinary old-fashioned apartments. There are two households on one staircase, all with three bedrooms and one living room. Each apartment has a It is a dormitory, with one person per room. Compared with the outside situation where four, five, six or seven people are crowded into a room and fighting for beds, this kind of living environment where one person can occupy the entire bedroom is definitely quite superior. .

Ricarlo Lee's dormitory is on the top floor of Building A. It's about a week away from the official opening of Sky Academy on April 15th. The entire dormitory building is empty and lifeless. He can be said to be the only one here who came first. This also means that Ricarlo Lee can at least choose a room he likes in the apartment as his dormitory. He is quite satisfied with this.

Ricarlo Lee stretched out his hand, fiddled with the watch on his wrist, and pointed the dial of the watch at the sensor device on the security door in front of him.

The watch on his wrist was picked up at the freshman reception desk. It has many more functions than ordinary watches. It is a multi-functional device that integrates positioning, navigation, calling, scanning, and recording. It can be said that everyone in Sky Academy The standard equipment for students is also the key to enter the dormitory.

In addition to the watch, Ricarlo Lee also received an extremely heavy-looking blue notebook at the freshman reception desk, but nothing else.

The moment the watch is aligned with the security door sensor, a soft sound will be heard and the security door will automatically open.

With a calm expression, Ricarlo Lee opened the door and entered the apartment directly.

The decoration in the apartment is not overly luxurious, but it is very comfortable to look at. The whole thing is covered with light gold wallpaper. All the appliances in the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom are brand new. The leather sofa in the living room looks a bit old. , but it is extremely comfortable to sit on.

TVs, telephones, air conditioners, washing machines and other electrical appliances are all available and placed in the most reasonable positions. These things Ricarlo Lee has never seen at the border, but he only learned their names last night when he was at Gladys Walker's house. , but he only knows their names. For him now, these electrical appliances are still in the high-tech category, and he doesn't know how to use them at all.

Since he was the first to arrive at the dormitory, Ricarlo Lee unceremoniously occupied the largest bedroom in the apartment. From the layout point of view, this should be the location of the master bedroom in the apartment. It faces the sea and has a unique view.

The bed in the bedroom was covered with clean and neat bedding, and there was a small desk. The tabletop of the desk was very clean, and a thin booklet was neatly placed there, with a pen and ink pressed on it.

Ricarlo Lee walked over and took a look. It was a book of rules for students of Sky Academy.

Ricarlo Lee was not interested in watching this thing yet. In the quiet bedroom, he just sat silently on the bed, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

A pleasant ringing sound suddenly sounded.

Ricarlo Lee didn't react for a while. After the ringing sounded for more than ten seconds, he stood up suddenly and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

The mobile phone was bought by Gladys Walker, and there was only Gladys Walker's personal mobile phone number on it, so it was self-evident who the caller was.

Ricarlo Lee answered the phone and said hello.

"Where is it? I'm at the entrance of the residential area."

On the phone, Qin Weibai asked softly.

"Unit 1, Building 601, Block A. I'll go down and pick you up."

Ricarlo Lee stood up without hesitation and planned to go downstairs.

"No, I'm right here, I'll be up soon."

Gladys Walker said simply and then hung up the phone.

Ricarlo Lee paused as he walked out of the door. Within a few seconds, the crisp sound of high heels on the steps could be heard in the corridor.

Ricarlo Lee hesitated for a moment and didn't move at all. Although he considered himself a bumpkin with little knowledge, he was not a fool. He could feel Gladys Walker's attitude towards him. Although he didn't know what this attitude meant yet, At least one thing he was sure of was that Gladys Walker definitely didn't want him to be too polite to her. In this case, he would naturally not do anything to bring trouble to himself.

The sound of high heels hitting the stairs downstairs became clearer and louder. Gladys Walker's figure turned the corner of the stairs and appeared in front of Ricarlo Lee again.

She still held the thick blue notebook in her hand, and a bottle of mineral water in the other hand.

Seeing Ricarlo Lee standing at the door, Gladys Walker was stunned for a moment, and then smiled sweetly, "What? Are you planning to greet me at the door? I don't have such a big air."

"no."

Ricarlo Lee said something subconsciously and turned away.

This can't be blamed on his lack of determination. In fact, Gladys Walker's charm has become almost irresistible, especially the charm of her charming smile, which makes Ricarlo Lee dizzy. When he is with her, Ricarlo Lee almost always Being in a state of dry mouth and tongue is really both enjoyable and torturous.

Gladys Walker climbed up the steps with a smile, handed the mineral water in his hand to Ricarlo Lee and said, "Are you thirsty? I just bought a bottle of water, you can drink it."

"I'm okay."

Ricarlo Lee licked his dry lips and said, smelling the natural body fragrance coming from Qin Weibai, looking at the bottle of mineral water that the other party had obviously drank some of, Ricarlo Lee felt like he was possessed, and felt helpless in his heart. The urge to speak is becoming increasingly fiery and clear.

"You think I'm dirty?"

Gladys Walker tilted his head, staring at Ricarlo Lee with his bright eyes, half smiling.

"I didn't mean that."

Ricarlo Lee looked embarrassed. At this point, there was really no way out. He simply took the mineral water from the other party's hand without explaining it and drank half of the bottle in one go. There seemed to be Gladys Walker left at the mouth of the bottle. The smell of water was faint and faint. Ricarlo Lee didn't know whether it was because he was thirsty or for other reasons. He only felt that this bottle of water had an indescribable sweet taste.

"Go in and take a look at your dormitory."

Gladys Walker didn't seem to think there was any ambiguity at all, and pulled Ricarlo Lee directly into the apartment.

Ricarlo Lee felt confused inside, and his mind was filled with Gladys Walker's voice and smile just now.

"Looks pretty good."

Gladys Walker looked at the decoration in the living room, nodded and asked, "Which room did you choose?"

"here."

Ricarlo Lee personally took Gladys Walker into the bedroom.

On the soft bed in the bedroom, the blue notebook that Ricarlo Lee had brought back from the freshman reception desk was randomly thrown on the bed. It was almost exactly the same as the notebook in Qin Weibai's hand.

Gladys Walker delicate and flawless face was always filled with an intoxicating smile, was slightly startled, looking at the blue book on the bed with a trance in his eyes.

Ricarlo Lee remained calm.

"The two books are very similar, right?"

Gladys Walker was silent for a while, then suddenly raised the notebook in his hand and asked.

"Yeah, it's very similar. The only difference is that mine is newer and I haven't recorded anything on it yet."

Ricarlo Lee said calmly.

At the freshman reception desk, when he received the notebook, he immediately felt that it looked very familiar. Whether it was size, color, or thickness, it was exactly the same as the notebook in Qin Weibai's hand. She undoubtedly attaches great importance to the notebook in her hand. She takes it with her when she comes out, holds it in her hand when she gets in the car, and even puts the notebook closest to her when eating. Ricarlo Lee is very concerned about this. The blue notebook made a very deep impression, so the first time I received it, I thought of the notebook in Qin Weibai's hand.

"Sky Academy has a rigid rule for all students, which is to keep a weekly diary, once a week, and submit it once a month. The content of the weekly diary is varied. You can write anything, including training experiences, insights on improving combat power, and feelings about Sky Academy. Opinions, or even thoughts after reading the book, these are all fine. Sky Academy can pay close attention to each student's growth status, way of thinking, and political stance through the weekly diary every month, so a weekly diary must be completed. It may seem like a small thing, but it can be said to be one of the most important tasks given to every student by the Sky Academy. If you fail to complete it, your credits will be deducted."

Gladys Walker clutched the blue notebook in his hand tightly, and his slender knuckles turned white because of too much force.

"The notebook in your hand is also someone's weekly diary while studying at Sky Academy?"

Ricarlo Lee asked softly.

"Yes, but it's not entirely true. Sky Academy's courses are three-year, but the weekly diary in my hand spans ten years. He also studied at Sky Academy, and he has formed a habit of taking one diary every week. Even after leaving Sky Academy, this habit continued until..."

Gladys Walker's tone suddenly paused, and where Ricarlo Lee couldn't see, a complex and sad look quickly flashed across her eyes.

"lets change a topic."

she whispered.

"good."

Ricarlo Lee nodded. At this moment, listening to Gladys Walker talking about another person in an obviously unusual tone, he felt extremely subtle and confused inside, but more importantly, it was an indescribable sourness.

"Don't overthink it. Many things may not be what you imagine."

Gladys Walker took a deep breath, walked to the window, looked at the endless sea outside the window, turned his back to Ricarlo Lee and said, "Now you should think more about how to rise in Sky Academy and in the entire Huating. With the current international situation Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that a full-scale war will break out between countries, but the unknown secret war will become more and more intense. This is a contest between elites, and the impact of victory or defeat is more profound than a full-scale war. The damage caused by the country is also greater, so in the next few decades, the status of the elites who come out of the two special warfare academies of Sky Academy and Deep Sea Academy will be even more important."

"Ricarlo, if you can seize this opportunity and rise up, the veterans on the border will be able to live freely and go wherever they want. As long as you are here, no one will dare to bully them. You come Isn’t that the purpose of Sky Academy?”

"certainly!"

Ricarlo Lee said calmly, "I can definitely get them all out of the virgin forest, and it won't take long."

"I trust you."

Gladys Walker turned around and looked at Ricarlo Lee, his eyes focused and serious.

She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "I can also tell you some news. Although your father's treason case seems to have been settled now, it is only superficial. This case is still confusing in the eyes of senior officials. There is no definite conclusion yet. If you want to investigate, there may be many clues you can start now. Therefore, your father may have really committed treason back then, but it is also possible that... he was framed."

"Framed? Who framed him?"

Ricarlo Lee's eyes suddenly condensed.

Although he was still peaceful and peaceful at this moment, there was suddenly a hint of danger in his whole body, just like a giant wave in the deep sea. The surface waves were slightly moving, but the depths were already raging like a tide.

"You need to check it out."

Gladys Walker shook his head and said.

"Then how should we check? Do you have any clues?"

Ricarlo Lee asked subconsciously.

"I'm just a businessman in Zhongzhou, how can I have any clues? That matter was so important back then that all the information was sealed. Without special authority, it can't be seen at all. Ricarlo, climb up, climb high enough position. At the very least, you must have access to those materials before you are qualified to start the investigation. I am willing to stand behind you all the time. On your way forward, no matter what you need, as long as I have it, I can give it to you. you."

Gladys Walker looked at Ricarlo Lee and said softly.

"Thanks."

Ricarlo Lee looked at her deeply and said in a deep voice.

Gladys Walker smiled softly, shook his head and said, "I'm going to leave Huating for a while, maybe a few months, but no more than a year. During this time, I hope you can make some achievements. Well, when I come back, if If you can stabilize your position at Sky Academy, then how about I agree to your request?"

In Ricarlo Lee slightly swollen pupils, Gladys Walker squinted his big eyes and smiled more softly, "I can grant you any request."

"real?"

Ricarlo Lee confirmed in a dry tone. Various thoughts were turbulent in his mind. Countless thoughts were crowded together, making his entire mind go blank.

"Of course. In Huating, everyone who knows me , Gladys Walker, knows that I always keep my word."

Gladys Walker looked proud. She stretched out a small white hand towards Ricarlo Lee and said, "Come and pull the hook."

Ricarlo Lee walked over blankly, stretched out his little finger, and hooked it with Gladys Walker's finger.

Gladys Walker's body was close to Ricarlo Lee, he took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera function, and pressed the shooting button directly.

The scene of the two leaning against each other and hooking their fingers was immediately captured.

In the photo, Gladys Walker smiled with tenderness and nostalgia, while Ricarlo Lee's expression was a little silly.

Gladys Walker nodded with satisfaction, sent the photo to Ricarlo Lee, and then set the photo as the screen of their mobile phones.

The two of them have exactly the same mobile phone and the same screen.

Gladys Walker waved two mobile phones in front of Ricarlo Lee and asked with a smile, "Do they look good?"

Ricarlo Lee nodded blankly.

"Silly and ugly."

Gladys Walker chuckled and stretched out his hand to pinch Ricarlo Lee's face.

At this moment, Goddess Qin, who was known for her power and dominance in the entire Huating business circle, seemed to have walked from the high altar to the human world in an instant, and also entered Ricarlo Lee's heart.

Gladys Walker put the phone back into Ricarlo Lee's hand, took two steps back, and suddenly said, "I'm leaving."

She didn't wait for Ricarlo Lee to answer, turned around and walked out of the room, cool and crisp.

"Um?"

Ricarlo Lee, who had been in a daze, suddenly came to his senses and chased him out without saying a word, "I'll see you off."

The two of them went downstairs in silence and walked out of the door of the accommodation area in silence.

On the road outside the accommodation area, a school bus was approaching from a distance, getting closer and closer.

"You are not allowed to change the screen saver photo on your phone, did you know that?"

Gladys Walker glanced at the bus coming from a distance, turned to Ricarlo Lee and said.

"Know."

Ricarlo Lee smiled a little silly, "And I won't change it."

"Well, I won't change it either."

Gladys Walker said softly and pulled Ricarlo Lee's palm, "Come on."

She let go of her hand, turned around, and stepped onto the school bus parked in front of her.

The school bus started slowly and drove away.

Ricarlo Lee stood silently, watching the school bus leave without moving.

In the back row of the school bus, Gladys Walker, who had been admiring the screen of his mobile phone since he got on the bus, put away his mobile phone and his expression became gentler.

There's a turn ahead.

Gladys Walker, who put away his phone, suddenly looked back.

The neat road slowly receded, and in sight, the thin and lonely figure still stood under the trees on both sides of the road, like a statue.
