The girl is Zhang Rui, eighteen years old, and she is the granddaughter of the Boss of this Photo Booth. Moreover, she did not lie to Chuyang; she is indeed a student at Rongcheng Naval Academy. As she mentioned, she does not often go to the academy because she is a disabled person with leg impairments.
Chuyang finally noticed this under Lexington's subtle hint and swallowed the question that was on the tip of his tongue.
However, for Zhang Rui, perhaps she was used to the strange looks from others or perhaps she was simply an optimistic girl by nature. After noticing Chuyang's occasional glance at her legs, she did not show any unusual expression on her face and maintained her smile as she said, "When I was young and didn’t know better, I ran out to play on the street and got hit by a car. The doctor said I could only have my legs amputated, so here I am."
"I'm sorry to bring up something sad," Chuyang said apologetically. In his previous life, his company organized activities to visit disabled people at a welfare home, and the reality was far from what the media reported. For instance, stories of individuals overcoming their disabilities to become successful entrepreneurs or athletes winning championships at the Paralympics were exaggerated. In reality, most severely disabled individuals felt very self-conscious and were sensitive to how others viewed them. Some could not bear the unusual gazes from others or had lost hope in life altogether and chose to end their lives. Only a few could remain calm and strive for success.
"There's nothing sad about it; it's been over ten years. I've long since gotten used to it," Zhang Rui said nonchalantly, without any hint of sorrow on her face, her smile still sweet. "Senior, who are these two? You haven't introduced me yet."
Zhang Rui seemed quite friendly and did not treat Chuyang as a stranger.
"This is my Wedding Ship, Lexington, originally named Firefly," Chuyang introduced Lexington with a smile creeping onto his lips. After being an African Salty Fish for three years, he finally regained some self-esteem in front of Sister.
"But aren't you the African Warlord? How do you have such a nice ship?" Zhang Rui's mouth formed an "O" shape in surprise. As someone who rarely went to school and was considered an "extracurricular student," she knew Chuyang partly because she witnessed him winning the Fighting Champion title at the school sports meet and partly due to his immense fame.
To be honest, compared to the inflated title of Fighting Champion, Chuyang's nickname of African Warlord was clearly more talked about among many junior students and Sister.
Since Rongcheng Naval Academy was established sixty years ago, Chuyang was the only student who had never produced anything during his first construction attempt. It should be noted that for 99.99% of Admirals in this world, regardless of whether they later became non-combatants or not, their first construction attempt would definitely yield results. Otherwise, it could be concluded that they would never obtain Fleet Girls through construction again in their lifetime. Of course, there were exceptions, but those special cases were so rare that they could almost be ignored. This is also why Chuyang began to spare no effort in acquiring ships despite having five more construction opportunities later on.
Additionally, the first construction is seen as a "blood test construction." If it produces Aircraft Carriers or Battleships or Battle Cruisers, it is referred to as Oti; if it produces Heavy Cruisers or Light Cruisers, it is called Yati; as for Destroyers, there’s no question—they are definitely non-combatants. And someone like Chuyang who produced nothing during their first construction attempt is labeled as an African Warlord. It is precisely because of these extremely rare figures with such bad luck that many non-combatants found some comfort for their already fragile hearts.
"Look, I'm not the worst off. That guy over there is worse; he hasn't produced anything at all."
At the same time, the better and rarer the ship produced during the first construction, the more it often indicated that the Admiral would have good luck in future constructions as well. Conversely, those who produced a Destroyer during their first build would find that no matter how many resources they invested or how good their construction formulas were in their later building careers, it would likely be in vain. Not to mention getting a high-tier Fleet Girl; even obtaining a light Heavy Cruiser would be quite difficult. Although this is not absolute, according to statistics from the Admiral Alliance, the probability is as high as 90%. This is why there is a saying about testing luck: "Luck doesn’t save the unworthy, and spending won’t change fate. Gamble on ships, and you might lose everything. Be cautious and conserve your resources. Steel, aluminum, oil, and ammunition—supplies are hard to come by. Big builds can hurt you; regular builds bring no love."
"Hehe!" Chuyang's expression looked bewildered; he knew this was how it was.
What Fighting Champion? If Zhang Rui recognized him because of this, that would be absurd; this was the truth.
However, seeing the girl's surprised expression instantly cleared Chuyang's gloom. He used to be a Chieftain; so what? He managed to sneak into Europe smoothly! Just wait for them to envy him!
"Lexington Sister, can I touch you?" Zhang Rui looked at Lexington with eager anticipation. She looked so gentle; it would be even better if she could hug her.
If a man made such a request, Lexington would surely refuse without hesitation, but who could resist when the other party was such a cute girl? So Chuyang's eyes were almost shooting fire; after all, he had never buried his face in Lexington's chest. Yet this little girl was taking advantage of the situation—seeing that Lexington didn’t object, she not only wanted to touch her but also asked Lexington to hold her in her arms while rubbing her face against Lexington's chest.
Could it be that all female Admirals in this world were like this? Shen Yan was one way, and now Zhang Rui was acting similarly. Should he prohibit his Fleet Girls from interacting with female Admirals in the future? Otherwise, if they were influenced and changed their sexual orientation, who would he turn to for an explanation?
Lexington felt slightly awkward as well; being treated like this by another woman in front of her husband—was that really okay?
"Lexington Sister, if Chuyang-senpai bullies you in the future and you decide to run away from home, come find me. The door here will always be open for you," Zhang Rui reluctantly detached herself from Lexington's warm embrace and sat back in her wheelchair.
"Yes, definitely. If your senpai bullies me in the future, I will definitely come find you," Lexington replied with a smile while glancing at Chuyang.
".........." He felt like he had been cornered.
"Zhang Rui, I've finished delivering today's photos, hurry up and pay me." At that moment, a little girl slightly larger than a firefly, also with golden twin ponytails, rushed in from outside while pushing a children's bicycle.
