Chapter 11

  Relationship Of Human Like Paper Thin

  The fact proved, the one looking for abused was Sheilor, and he was abused very bad.

  In the virtual set which the framework was organized in four minutes, he only lasted for a minute, then was judged as the losing side, the comprehensive failure, man and machine both were destroyed. Looked at those representing victory fireworks and the representing the loser white flag in the wind on the light screen in front, Sheilor could help to be somewhat downhearted, and had the anger to the designer who designed this virtual system, but didn’t pay attention that although the art designing of the virtual combat system was very rough, but it applied the 3-D combat simulation which even the federal military hadn’t had the successful experiment so far.

  Wiped off all the sweat from the face with the towel by the side, Sheilor calmed his mood down, broke away from that kind of joy which he stumbled across the treasury several days ago, positioned himself as the beginner and bumpkin again, said to that strange but also familiar companion on the other side of the speaker with a smile, “Come again,”

  The ending didn’t have too much change, in the next few times competition drills, no matter what kind of topographic condition he chose, Sheilor still was beaten by the mecha on the other side very bad, although he possessed the “nerve” much thicker than anyone did, but the combat experience of the mecha was almost zero, of course he wouldn’t be the opponent of the people on the other side.

  Charlie Tai didn’t want to meet with that young student porter, his status was too sensitive, he shouldn’t have any relationship with Sheilor this kind of level character. If not for some very vague reasons, Charlie Tai even didn’t allow Sheilor to enter into the H1 area-- Even if he was the student who professor Ken recommended, even if professor Ken was the designer of the H1 area.

  Didn’t know whether he was too bored for the sleepless night, or for those hot soybean milk and those he couldn’t tell the name, very oily but with a kind of speechless delicious night snacks, or for… The master of the Tai family didn’t have a similar age people appeared by the side for a long time, he allowed Sheilor to enter into the H1 area every night. But even so, he still was not going to meet with Sheilor, at this point, he somewhat appreciated that this young man knew how to behave in the delicate situation, the other party had never tried to open his room.

  Not meeting didn’t mean to not speaking, Charlie Tai said to himself like this in the heart, he had some curiousness to that looked very common student, why he would be same as him to have the insomnia very night, could it be that the other party also carried the similar pressure as he did? Thought of this, Charlie Tai couldn’t help to laugh up himself, in this world, it was impossible that the people of his age had the same pressure as he did.

  Just started in a words because of boredom, then it somewhat couldn’t be held back. Since they began to talk, whether he should have a fight with the other party in the virtual environment, let off a bit? Charlie Tai said to himself like this in the heart, just right that he also had some curious for the training progress of the other party, because he had tried the level VI once, knew the later difficulty of it, the other party could in the short ten days, from not make a head of it at the very beginning, to could insist for seventeen seconds now, this was really an impressive achievement, that trial of Charlie Tai at that time, also just could last for thirty seconds. Although he made some progress now, but it might be assumed that the progress shouldn’t be too big.

  The descendants of the Tai family, ages ago, should be the crown prince identity. Even in the present federation, the head of the seven big families Tai family still hid its huge body in the shadow, just like the legendary supernatural being didn’t have its ends shown outside of the cloud at the same time. Called this family to be the emperor on another level of the federation, it’s also not too excessive. With this kind of identity, Charlie Tai never had a real friend from childhood, when he hid his identity to study in a primary school directly subordinate to the federation in the capital, he met the Chad family siblings, but all of that changed after the Chad family guessed his identity…

  No matter how honorable the identity of Charlie Tai was, no matter how prominent his family was, he still was a seventeen years old young man. He was suffering in the adolescence, trying to suppress his own rebellious impulse under the pressure, buried his own blood impulse with the impeccable appearance and majesty. Every experienced the youthful years people all knew that this kind of blood was hard to be suppressed, thus Charlie Tai would choose in the empty H1 area to roar loudly at the sky, although the roar sound was somewhat crude and unused. He never had a fight before, and also nobody dare to fight with him, he just wanted to find the feeling to be… A real people. And today, he seemed to find a little bit, because that fell to the ground mecha always would climb up once again, so stubborn, but also still smiling, it’s like a forever warped up the lips tumbler, it’s so interesting to beat him up…

  In the lounge, picked up the lamb chop which was held in the box, Charlie Tai took a sip of the coffee with a smile, had a bit on the roe cake, and then wrote a newest words on that already had a lot of words on white paper, walked back to his villa from the H1 area. didn’t know whether the reason the physical consumption was too much, he slept especially sweet that night.

  When Sheilor came out from the room, he noticed that most of the night snacks on the tea table had already gone, he raised his that like knives eyebrows a bit. In this many days, this was the first time that man left before him. He walked to the table and picked up the white, saw a words written on it, “The lamb chop taste not bad.”

  This was the first time that boy praised his hard to get night snacks? Sheilor had a touch on the head with some anger, thought that even you beat me, you still didn’t need to be so proud of yourself. But didn’t know why, looked at that line of good taste words, Sheilor was somewhat happy in his heart, picked up the pen and wrote down his own reply with some scratching noises on the paper. “What the delicious taste the synthesis lamb chop can have? One day I would get some wild lamb for you to eat.”

  When Sheilor wrote down this words, suddenly thought of in that spacecraft one year ago, he also made a similar promise to that little girl. He couldn’t help to have some sighs with emotion, that smart and lovely little girl should have grown up a lot? She still hate to have the meals like before?

  The day after, Charlie saw the words on the paper, couldn’t help to warp up the corners of the mouth slightly and smiled. The laws of the wild animal protection had been executed very strictly, the wild lamb was not that easy to be eaten, but for him, what this could be counted as? But Charlie Tai was very self-discipline for the life aspect, he never touched those things, he replied on the paper, “No like it, get me two that kind of pie on seventeenth that night.”

  Sheilor picked up the paper and shook his head, replied, “No problem.”

  “Since you are a man with no taste and won’t eat the roe cake, why you ate them all?” Charlie Tai left the words angrily.

  “Just knew that it’s so expensive, of course will eat some more! I brought you the food for so many days, shouldn’t suffer, right? Say it again, taste this thing always needs to be cultivated, I have it a couple more times, perhaps I won’t think that it’s the gone bad thing? Don’t be so mean as a big man, I’ll bring you some baked sweet potatoes.”

  “Today, I would like to wait for you to come out and meet you at first, but didn’t know that you left so early.”

  “I don’t have the interest to meet you.”

  Time extended down and died away along the lines of words on the white paper, on an occasional night, these two young men also would talk a few words through the speaker of the mecha, arranged the matter about the simulated combat, but the childish behavior about the types and quantities of the night snacks and haggled over every ounce, still would be recorded on that piece of white paper, probably they both thought that this was a very
interesting thing. They still didn’t meet each other, although Sheilor once put forward this kind of request, but since the other party didn’t want to, then he also forget about it.

  “That piece of paper is almost full now, I am really curious, how come the insomnia of that boy will be so severe.” In the cafeteria at noon, Sheilor while having the meal with the spoon, spoke to the wearing black frame glasses girl on the opposite side.

  These days he had already got used to this kind of work and rest lately, and seldom went to the H1 area at the daytime, so instead he went back to the beginning that kind of having meal and talking with Charming together life. The strange eyes cast over from around were a lot less, because it’s a common thing for the young men and women to break up and stay together in this school. And the magical performance of Sheilor this poor student had in professor Chow’s class, also added a lot of credits on him, the defended for Charming people had a lot less.

  Sheilor didn’t know what kind of relationship between Charming and himself, he just liked to sat opposite sides with this pure like water girl subconsciously, that gave him the feeling like the clear spring water that kind of refreshing. But when he faced Charming, he would feel very nervous, this kind of nervousness made him feel very anxious, could it be that this was that legendary thing?

  However, Charming was absent-minded at this time, there was some melancholy in her clear eyes, she looked at the autumn views outside of the cafeteria through the glass of his glasses, didn’t pay attention to what Sheilor was talking about, and just those information she missed out, in the before long future, let her to feel very regret.

  In the campus, the top of the trees were slightly yellowish, the autumn wind blew to keep them swinging, the sunlight on the black frame glasses on the nose bridge of Charming also was swinging slightly, the wave made the people staring at her very anxious to fall into that sunlight. Sheilor stared at her blankly, felt that it’s empty in the heart, but also it’s full at the same time, a bit sour, but also a bit sweet, he didn’t know why there was always a kind of speechless feeling under the calm appearance of Charming, he always felt that the other party would disappear at any time.

  On the opposite side of the dining table of the cafeteria, it would become empty at any time, Sheilor didn’t like this kind of presumption.

  “The dancing party will be held next week.” Charming suddenly turned around and had a smile, said to him, “You have been busy recently, I also don’t know what you are busy for, we don’t have any class tomorrow, let’s go out to buy some clothes.”

  Sheilor nodded his head, was going to say something, Charming lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Of course you will pay for it, don’t need to worry about anything.”
