Chapter 1055 - 1055 Why Not Me?

1055 Why Not Me?

Elvy checked the data in her personal terminal again. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she left the laboratory and walked towards the place agreed by the academy.

As soon as she walked out of the laboratory building, she encountered two female classmates from the same experiment group. After one of them seriously glanced at Elvy, she suddenly asked in surprise, “Heh, Elvy, why do you look very listless these few days? Isn’t Chu Nan back?”

“That’s right. Aren’t you guys together almost every day these few days? You’re actually still unhappy?” Another female classmate asked curiously.

Elvy frowned slightly.

It was true that she had never deliberately hidden her thoughts of liking Chu Nan, but now that these students knew, they always liked to tease her about this, causing her to be a little impatient.

Under normal circumstances, she would at most smile and not mind. Instead, she would be happy.

However, now…

With her good upbringing, Elvy squeezed a smile at the two of them and shook her head. She did not answer their question and brushed past them.

Seeing that Elvy was indeed in a bad mood, the two female classmates tactfully did not chase after her or continue to ask. However, behind her, the two of them could not help but whisper.

“Hey, do you think… Elvy has fallen in love with someone else?”

“What do you mean by falling in love with someone else? I think Elvy only has a crush on Chu Nan. He might not like her.”

“Is that so? But I think…”

…

However, these two female classmates did not know that although Elvy was not a martial technique expert, because of her family’s inheritance and the additional time she had invested in martial techniques after knowing Chu Nan, her current strength had greatly improved and she had long broken through to the Internal Breath Realm.

Although their voices were not loud, they clearly entered Elvy’s ears.

However, Elvy did not react. She only continued to move forward expressionlessly. Before long, she disappeared from their sight.

After leaving the Life Science Branch, Elvy was about to continue walking out of the academy when she turned a corner and saw Chu Nan walking out of the administrative center on the right.

Elvy could not help but raise her hand and want to greet him happily. However, just as she raised her arm, she suddenly felt that it had become very heavy. Her throat seemed to have been blocked by something, and she did not make a sound.

However, Chu Nan seemed to have sensed it and instantly turned around. When he saw Elvy, he immediately revealed a happy smile. He raised his hand to greet her and strode over.

“Heh, Elvy, what a coincidence. I was just about to see if you had ended your experiment.” Seeing the strange expression on her face, Chu Nan asked curiously, “What? Did something happen?”

Elvy put down her arm and stared at the concerned expression on Chu Nan’s originally familiar but unfamiliar face. When she recalled the struggle and conflict in her heart these few days, she suddenly felt angry.

“Brother Chu Nan, you…”

As soon as he spoke, three students suddenly walked over. When they saw Elvy and Chu Nan together, the three of them smiled at the same time and pointed at them.

Elvy immediately swallowed the rest of her words and her expression calmed down again.

“Forget it, let’s go.”

Looking at Elvy’s back, Chu Nan scratched his head and felt very puzzled.

Half a month ago, when he finally returned to Star Cloud Academy successfully, Elvy was extremely happy to see him. However, for some reason, her attitude toward him quickly changed after that. Every time she was with him now, she was not as enthusiastic and lively as before. Instead, she became more and more silent.

The reaction just now was even stranger. Did she seem to be… angry?

Why?

With doubts and confusion in his heart, Chu Nan followed closely behind Elvy. The two of them left the academy and arrived at the small dining room where he, Elvy, and Angie Prairie often gathered.

After sitting down in the seat he had booked in advance, Chu Nan looked at Elvy who had sat down opposite him, and turned to look out the window without saying a word. He finally could not help but ask, “About that… Elvy, did I do something wrong? If you’re still not angry about my last time, I’ll solemnly apologize. However, you also know that time was tight last time. I made an agreement with Dong Fang. I didn’t…”

Elvy suddenly turned around and stared at Chu Nan.

After a while, she suddenly shook her head and sighed.

“Brother Chu Nan, I’m not angry at you, but at myself.”

Chu Nan was even more puzzled.

“Angry at yourself? Why?”

“Because I’m very angry. Why didn’t I cultivate martial techniques well back then? Otherwise, I would have applied to the Martial Arts Branch. This way, when you take the risk in the Leppler Star System, I can be with you. When you go to the Perseus Arm to take the risk this time, I can be with you. If I’m with you both times, perhaps the person who becomes your girlfriend won’t be Sister Angie Prairie, but me.”

He was immediately stunned.

He carefully observed the expression on Elvy’s face and could tell that she was completely sincere and did not have the slightest intention of joking.

“Brother Chu Nan, you rejected me when I confessed to you previously, but you accepted Sister Angie Prairie’s confession this time. I think the main reason is that Sister Angie Prairie went through life and death with you and experienced a few adventures together, right? I know very well that the relationship built between life and death is the deepest, so it’s not strange for you to accept her. I just want to know, if it was me who experienced these life-and-death tests with you, would you accept me?”

Looking at Elvy’s extremely serious expression, Chu Nan knew that he could not bluff his way through this problem.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed and shook his head, “I don’t know, but… most likely not.”

“Why?”

“Because… because in my heart, you’ve always been treated as my sister, which is similar to Xiaoxi. If you encounter any difficulties or danger, I’ll do my best to help you and even risk my life. However, to be honest, I’ve never considered accepting you as my girlfriend.”

“Why do you only treat me as a sister?” Elvy still continued to ask reluctantly, “Am I not a normal girl?”

With her personality, if she could not completely figure out this problem today, she was certain that she would never be at ease.

Ever since she knew that Chu Nan and Angie Prairie had confirmed their relationship, this question had been lingering in her heart, causing her to be unable to sleep or eat in peace these few days.

Now that she could finally sit down and talk to Chu Nan, she did not want to miss this opportunity.

She had never been a passive person who waited. Therefore, since she had asked this question today, she definitely could not allow Chu Nan to avoid it.
