Chapter 175: Aunt’s Place
On Earth 172 light-years away, it was early in the morning in the northeast of North America.
Elvy drank the last mouthful of fresh milk and gently put down the knife and fork in her hand. She also smoothed the table and stood up gently. She smiled at the middle-aged couple sitting opposite her and said, “Uncle Burval, Aunt Molly, I’m done eating.”
The middle-aged man smiled at Elvy and nodded lightly. The middle-aged woman only glanced at her coldly and did not say anything.
Elvy was long used to this situation. She bowed slightly to the two of them and left the dining room.
Before the door of the dining room behind her closed, Elvy heard enthusiastic conversation coming from inside. It was the complete opposite of the silent atmosphere that was as dead as her breakfast.
Elvy glanced back at Uncle Burval and Aunt Molly, who were talking and laughing in the dining room. Her two delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, then slowed.
She had already stayed at her aunt’s house for nearly three months, but her aunt’s family’s attitude towards her still did not change.
Could she really improve the stiff relationship between her aunt and her family by staying here, as her father hoped?
When she first arrived here, Elvy had also worked hard. For example, she tried her best to approach her aunt and take the initiative to greet her uncle. Occasionally, she would buy some small gifts to make them happy…
However, all her actions did not have any effect. Her uncle still treated her like an ordinary guest, but her aunt remained cold as if she did not see her biological niece at all.
After a long time, seeing that her efforts were useless, Elvy did not want to waste any more time.
Her goal in coming to Earth was to enter Star Cloud Academy to prepare, not to come and improve the relationship between the two families.
Although her father hoped so, the reason why the relationship between the two families became stiff was because of deeper reasons. It was far from something that a young girl like her could improve.
If she ignored these questions and only treated this place as an ordinary residence, it was very good.
Although her aunt’s family was cold and even indifferent to Elvy, they had never treated her badly in life. Everything they prepared for her was the best, and they would almost satisfy any request she made. Of course, she would basically not make any requests.
Therefore, after putting down her wasted effort, it was not too difficult for Elvy to continue living here.
If only she could kick this annoying guy out again…
“Hey, dear Cousin Elvy, good morning. Did you just finish breakfast? Are you free today? How about you go out with me? I’ll take you to a fun place.”
One of them was only slightly taller than Elvy. He was thin and weak, and his face was sharp. He looked a little similar to Aunt Molly. A teenager who looked to be only 17 or 18 years old appeared from the corner. When he saw Elvy, he immediately smiled warmly and greeted her.
Elvy glanced at him expressionlessly and shook her head.
“I’m sorry, Roddick. I have to revise today and don’t have time to go out.”
This youth called Roddick was the son of Uncle Burval’s brother, who was also his nephew.
Just like Elvy, he had also come to Earth to enter Star Cloud Academy and live here.
Strictly speaking, he and Elvy were not related by blood, but after he saw her for the first time, he took the initiative to be close to her and even called her cousin especially enthusiastically.
It should be said that he was the only person in the family who expressed enthusiasm for Elvy.
However, Elvy did not like it at all.
This guy had a glib tongue and walked proudly on the road, causing Elvy to dislike him very much.
One had to know that she was used to seeing her father, brother, and the masculine demeanor of the surrounding people. Naturally, she could not stand a sloppy guy like Roddick.
“You don’t have time to go out and play?” Roddick thought for a moment and did not mind Elvy’s cold rejection. He continued to approach and said with a smile, “Then, it’s fine if you don’t go out. The thing I ordered a few days ago just happened to arrive today. I think you’ll definitely be interested. Do you want to go to my room to take a look?”
Elvy glanced at him angrily, thinking that this guy was really ridiculously thick-skinned.
She had already rejected him countless times these few days, but he could still pester her like this. Now, he actually dared to invite her to his room!
What was this guy thinking?
This time, Elvy did not even have the mood to patronize him. She walked straight past him.
“Heh, Cousin Elvy, you haven’t heard what I mean!” Roddick shouted from behind, “Let me tell you, it’s the game access terminal of Martial Soul! This game is very fun. You’ll definitely like it!”
Elvy stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Roddick in surprise.
“What did you say? You bought an access terminal for Martial Soul?”
Seeing that Elvy actually stopped and turned around, Roddick was immediately excited. He hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes, yes. It’s already in my room. Come, dear Cousin Elvy, come to my room and play. I guarantee you’ll like it.”
Elvy ignored his other words and asked, “You’ve already placed it in the room? Didn’t Uncle Burval and Aunt Molly scold you?”
Roddick shrugged indifferently.
“Why would they scold me? I didn’t do anything bad. I was just playing a game.”
Elvy was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled at Roddick.
“Roddick, thank you for reminding me. Goodbye.”
After saying that, Elvy waved at Roddick and turned around. However, she did not walk into the room. Instead, she changed direction and walked out of the house.
“Oh, god, she actually smiled at me!”
Roddick was enchanted by Elvy’s charming smile for a long time until he saw that she had actually left the house. He could not help but be stunned.
“Didn’t she say that she wanted to return to revise?”
Then, she reacted and hurriedly chased after him. She saw that Elvy had already entered a private floating shuttle specially prepared for her by Burval. A moment later, she rushed into the sky under Roddick’s gaze and instantly disappeared.
Twenty minutes later, Elvy appeared in the shop of the largest terminal entity in New York City fifty kilometers away from the private estate of Burval. She pointed to one of the Martial Soul game access terminals.
“Send it to the Violet Manor outside the city.”
“Miss, when do you need to send it over?”
“Now.”
