Fu Mingxue explained, "I’ll go back to campus for my exams. When I was enrolling, I gave the department head a blueprint I designed for a new type of engine. He then recommended me to the research institute, and I became a researcher."
"My work is in engine development, so I’ve been temporarily transferred over here."
"As it turns out, my workplace is extremely close to your military base, so I applied to live here."
"Well? Aren’t you surprised?"
Qin Wenhao: ...?
"This is a huge surprise!"
But more than that, he was stunned.
He never expected he’d married such a treasure.
"Looks like you’re quite incredible!"
He knew of the nearby engine factory.
While it was supposedly an automobile engine factory, it actually developed aviation engines.
All the researchers there were brilliant experts.
’And to think she’s one of them now—and a team leader, no less. That just goes to show how incredible she really is.’
"I can’t talk any longer. Your mother-in-law is making you something to eat, so I’m heading back to my room for now."
’I’ve already wasted some time tonight. I need to get back to my books.’
’Besides, I have to take a shower first.’
Seeing she had no intention of talking further, Qin Wenhao nodded. "Alright."
He decided to take a shower too. After all, he stank.
He had been so focused on his surprise just now. With her gone, he finally noticed his own disheveled appearance.
He went straight to the courtyard to draw well water and wash—
Mrs. Fu heard the sound of water. Seeing her fine son-in-law pouring icy well water over his head, she cried out in alarm, "Oh my goodness, what are you doing? That water is freezing!"
Qin Wenhao paused. He had almost forgotten he wasn’t the only one living here.
’Thankfully, I haven’t taken anything off yet.’
He gave an awkward smile. "—Mom, I take cold showers year-round. I’m used to it, so you don’t need to worry."
Mrs. Fu: ...?
