CIATB Chapter 174 On the Eve of Parting!
Chapter 174 On the Eve of Parting!
Time flies.
Before we know it, winter vacation is coming to an end.
Zhang Yan sat in the Nie family study, holding a blueprint in his hand.
That was the list of materials Qin Xiao sent last night.
Aerospace titanium alloys, carbon fiber composites, micro turbofan engines...
Every single item is top-quality.
Zhang Yan nodded in satisfaction.
The Qin family truly lives up to its reputation as a military family; their efficiency is remarkable.
He put away the blueprints, stood up, and walked to the window.
In the courtyard, Nie Qingcheng was keeping the old lady company as she basked in the sun.
The sunlight shone on her, giving her a faint golden halo.
Zhang Yan watched this scene and a smile appeared on his lips.
These days are wonderful.
But he knew that this peace wouldn't last long.
The warning from the Kunlun Ruins still echoed in his mind.
The "ruins" are awakening.
What exactly is that thing?
Why did the Mohists use the entire power of civilization to escape?
Zhang Yan squinted.
Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it now.
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.
He turned and walked out of the study.
In the courtyard, Nie Qingcheng saw him and immediately waved.
"come over."
Zhang Yan walked over and sat down next to her.
The old lady looked at them with a smile.
"You two are truly enviable."
Nie Qingcheng blushed slightly.
"grandmother……"
The old lady waved her hand.
"What are you shy about? When I was young, I was even bolder than you."
Nie Qingcheng: "..."
Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, Nie Xiaorou came skipping and hopping over.
"Brother-in-law! Young Master Qin is here!"
Zhang Yan was taken aback.
"So fast?"
He stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Sure enough, Qin Xiao was standing at the door, followed by several movers.
Upon seeing Zhang Yan, Qin Xiao immediately rushed over.
"Brother Yan!"
Zhang Yan nodded.
"Did you bring everything?"
Qin Xiao nodded vigorously.
"They're all in the car!"
"I personally oversaw the loading; there's absolutely no problem!"
Zhang Yan patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.
"Let's go to the warehouse."
The two arrived at the Nie family's private warehouse.
The movers carefully carried in boxes of materials.
Qin Xiao stood to the side, his eyes fixed on Zhang Yan.
"Brother Yan, my Chengying..."
Zhang Yan glanced at him.
"What's the rush? You can't escape."
He walked to the center of the warehouse and raised his wrist.
"come out."
next second.
Space distortion.
A white streak of light flew out from the watch on his wrist and rapidly expanded in mid-air.
In the blink of an eye, a matte black, futuristic-looking hovercraft appeared in the warehouse.
Qin Xiao's eyes widened instantly.
"This...this is the Chengying I received?!"
Zhang Yan nodded.
"Um."
Qin Xiao was so excited that he trembled all over.
He circled Chengying several times, eager to ride on it and try it out immediately.
But he managed to suppress his impulse.
"Brother Yan, can I touch it?"
Zhang Yan smiled.
"It's your car, do whatever you want with it."
Qin Xiao carefully reached out and gently stroked the outer shell of Cheng Ying.
It's cool, smooth, and has an indescribable texture.
He took a deep breath.
"Brother Yan, is this car... the same as yours?"
Zhang Yan shook his head.
"Not exactly the same."
"I made some modifications to your car."
Qin Xiao was taken aback.
"What changes?"
Zhang Yan walked to Cheng Ying's side and lightly traced a line on the car body with his finger.
A hidden panel pops open automatically, revealing a dense array of buttons and a display screen.
"I've added a weapon system for you."
Qin Xiao's breath caught in his throat.
Weapon system?!
Zhang Yan pointed to one of the red buttons.
"This is an electromagnetic pulse transmitter, which can paralyze all electronic devices in the vicinity."
"This is a smoke grenade launcher, which can be used to cover retreat in an emergency."
"And this..."
He pointed to the bottom black button.
"Miniature missile launcher."
Qin Xiao gasped.
missile?!
You call this a motorcycle?!
This is a mobile arsenal!
Seeing his shocked expression, Zhang Yan smiled.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Qin Xiao nodded vigorously.
"Satisfied! Extremely satisfied!"
He suddenly knelt down.
"Brother Yan! You're like my own father!"
Zhang Yan's lips twitched.
"Alright, stop being so cheeky."
He helped Qin Xiao up.
"Remember, the existence of this vehicle is top secret."
"You can't tell anyone except your father."
Qin Xiao nodded solemnly.
"I see."
Zhang Yan patted him on the shoulder.
"Give it a try."
Qin Xiao excitedly jumped onto Cheng Ying.
The vehicle automatically recognizes the driver and activates the system.
A deep blue light emanated from the bottom of the car body.
Chengying slowly floated up, five centimeters off the ground.
Qin Xiao took a deep breath and gently pushed the control lever.
Chengying glided forward silently.
The speed is getting faster and faster.
In the blink of an eye, they rushed out of the warehouse.
Zhang Yan stood at the door, watching Qin Xiao speeding recklessly in the yard, and couldn't help but shake his head.
This kid is a real mechanical fanatic.
……
evening.
Qin Xiaoyi reluctantly left the Nie family.
When Zhang Yan returned to the room, Nie Qingcheng was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking somewhat disappointed.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yan walked over and sat down next to her.
Nie Qingcheng leaned on his shoulder.
"You're going back to school tomorrow, but I still have some things to take care of here. I'm not happy."
Zhang Yan was taken aback.
Yes, school starts tomorrow.
He reached out and put his arm around Nie Qingcheng's waist.
"You can't bear to part with me?"
Nie Qingcheng nodded gently.
"Um."
Zhang Yan smiled.
"Then I won't go."
Nie Qingcheng raised her head and glared at him.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Studies are the most important thing."
Zhang Yan pinched her cheek.
"Don't worry, I'll be back every weekend."
Nie Qingcheng then revealed a slight smile.
"real?"
Zhang Yan nodded.
"real."
Nie Qingcheng leaned back into his arms with satisfaction.
"That's good."
The two of them sat there quietly.
Outside the window, the sun is setting.
The golden afterglow streamed into the room, bathing everything in a warm glow.
Zhang Yan looked down at Nie Qingcheng in his arms.
"A beauty that could topple a city".
"Um?"
"Let's get married after I graduate."
Nie Qingcheng's body trembled slightly.
She looked up, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Are you serious?
Zhang Yan nodded seriously.
"real."
I want to give you a formal status.
"Let everyone know that you are my wife."
Nie Qingcheng's eyes instantly reddened.
She threw herself into Zhang Yan's arms and hugged him tightly.
"it is good."
"I'm waiting for you."
Zhang Yan held her tightly.
"You won't have to wait too long."
