Chapter 1615 - 1615 Your Return Is the Best Gift
1615 Your Return Is the Best Gift
Just as Dong Fang had said, in fact, the Earth Federation Army and the Seres Security Company had long reached an agreement on the transfer of these three enterprise-level battleships and the relevant technology. The agreement had basically been signed and letting Chu Nan come was only to let him show his face as a representative.
After all, in name, these three battleships were gifts given to Chu Nan by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and he had only transferred them to the Federation Army and the Seres Security Company.
Perhaps in order to experience the importance of this matter by the federation, with Marshal Chemekov as the leader, the Federation Army came up with an official ceremony. Although it was troublesome, it was not difficult for Chu Nan. He was only here to show his face.
It was unknown if it was because of the importance of this ceremony or Chu Nan, but the Noctem Chamber of Commerce valued this more. They sent the branch president of the Earth Federation Branch to the scene and personally handed it over. At the same time, they directly contacted the higher-ups of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce to give a speech.
After a complicated procedure, he finally completed this transfer ceremony.
According to the information given by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, these three battleships would arrive at the Cosmic Realm of the Earth Federation in 13 Earth days. They would continue to arrange the subsequent handover.
After the ceremony, Chu Nan, Marshal Chemekov, Dong Fang, and the branch president of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce stationed in the Earth Federation’s Chamber of Commerce had a banquet that was unknown in the morning, noon, and night before barely escaping.
When he finally arrived at the surface of Earth, it had already been ten hours since he jumped out of the stargate and arrived at the Solar System.
Chu Xiaoxi and Elvy were already anxious. When they saw Chu Nan, Chu Xiaoxi immediately complained, “Brother, you finally returned, but you ran around instead of seeing us. Tell me honestly, did you go see a new girlfriend?”
“Hey, I just returned. Where did I get a new girlfriend?” Chu Nan rolled his eyes, “If you want to say this, Xiaoxi, before I came to Earth, Mom specially contacted me and asked me to ask if you’re dating in Star Cloud Academy. She asked me to warn you not to date in school. She won’t agree.”
This time, it was Chu Xiaoxi who rolled her eyes.
“I’m already an adult, okay? Mom still cares so much. Seriously…”
“Then, did you have a boyfriend in the academy?” Chu Nan asked.
“Tsk, I don’t even have the time to cultivate martial techniques. How can I have the time to have a boyfriend? If you don’t believe me, ask Elvy.”
Chu Nan turned to look at Elvy and originally wanted to joke with her, but when he saw her expression, he could not help but be stunned.
Ever since Elvy saw Chu Nan, she had been silent. At this moment, she finally saw him turn to look at her. His large eyes were suddenly blurred by tears and her heart surged. She could no longer suppress the tidal emotions in her heart. With a whimper, she rushed over and hugged him tightly. She pressed her face against his chest and cried.
Feeling Elvy’s body tremble lightly in his arms and the tears that surged out of her eyes wet his chest, Chu Nan was slightly stunned. He sighed in his mind and thought for a moment before reaching out to grab her shoulder and gently patting her back.
“I’m sorry, Elvy. I made you worry for so long.”
Hearing Chu Nan’s soft voice, the tears in Elvy’s eyes immediately surged like a flood.
When Chu Xiaoxi saw the two of them like this, she frowned and wanted to say something but hesitated.
After a long time, Elvy barely stopped crying and rubbed her eyes to break free from Chu Nan’s arms.
“Chu Nan, can… can you still leave?”
Facing her and Chu Xiaoxi’s expectant gazes, Chu Nan shrugged and said helplessly, “Of course I have to leave. I actually took leave to return this time. I only have a month. After I’m done here, I have to return and continue to participate in research.”
Although Chu Nan had long mentioned this, hearing him say it personally, Elvy and Chu Xiaoxi still frowned at the same time.
“Brother, do you have to stay there for research in the future?” Chu Xiaoxi asked.
“That won’t happen. There are fewer and fewer things that need me for the research over there now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to take leave and come back, right? Elkart told me that at the current progress, I reckon I only need to stay there for less than half a year and help them collect all the data before I can basically escape. If there’s anything else I can use in the future, it’s fine to make another trip.”
“Isn’t that still very troublesome?” Chu Xiaoxi curled her lips, but then she suddenly became excited, “Right, Brother, you’re helping the Declan Empire and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce this time. They should give you a lot of rewards, right? Tell me, is there anything good?”
Chu Nan rolled his eyes at her and thought to himself, ‘I just transferred the best reward to Marshal Chemekov and Dong Fang. You don’t have a share.’
“Alright, just say what you want. I’ve earned a lot of money this time. As long as it’s not too ridiculous, I can buy it for you.”
“Wow! Really? That’s great!” Chu Xiaoxi immediately jumped over excitedly and pounced on Chu Nan. She happily rubbed against him, “I knew you were the best to me, Brother!”
“Come down, you’re already a girl. Watch your image.” Chu Nan bluntly pulled Chu Xiaoxi off his body and turned to ask Elvy, “About that… Elvy, I’ve only returned for a short period of time and don’t have time to find a gift. What gift do you want? I’ll give it to you.”
Elvy smiled and shook her head, “There’s no need. Your return is the best gift.”
After a pause, she added.
“Angie Prairie clearly thinks so too.”
Hearing Elvy mention Angie Prairie, Chu Nan was stunned. A trace of worry flashed through his eyes, but he did not say anything and immediately smiled again.
“I’ll go see her. Before that, let’s return to Star Cloud Academy first. I think many people in the academy are probably waiting for me to return. Coincidentally, I want to see how you’ve been in the academy for the past year.”
“Alright, alright.” Chu Xiaoxi immediately became excited, “My classmates have long wanted to see you. If they know that you’re back, they’ll definitely be overjoyed. However, Brother, I’m warning you. No matter how much they like you, you’re not allowed to attack them. Apart from Elvy, I won’t allow you to touch any other girls.”
“Hey!” Chu Nan immediately glared at her, “Do you have a sister like you? Who cares if your brother finds a sister-in-law? Moreover, why do you mention Elvy…”
When he said the last sentence, Chu Nan looked at Elvy guiltily.
No matter how slow he was, he knew very well that Elvy indeed liked him, but he had indeed never treated her as a lover. Now, every time he faced her, he could not help but feel a little awkward.
On the other hand, Elvy appeared natural and unrestrained. When she saw Chu Nan looking over, she patted her especially tall and voluptuous chest and revealed a calm smile, “Don’t worry, it’s my business if I like you. Unless Angie Prairie breaks up with you one day, I won’t forcefully interfere and destroy your relationship. Do you believe me, Brother Chu Nan?”
The last term “Brother Chu Nan” was already a term that Elvy had not called out for a long time. When she suddenly heard this term, Chu Nan could not help but be stunned. He instantly seemed to have returned to the period when the two of them first met a few years ago. All kinds of memories quickly flashed through his mind and he was stunned for a moment.
