Chapter 183 Show of Affection
Before Chu Junbai even reached his doorstep, he saw a large group of people standing there. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt a headache coming on. These women were really idle; some were concerned, and some were just there to watch the show.
Upon seeing Chu Junbai, his sisters-in-law immediately surrounded him.
They all lived in the military family compound and saw each other all the time. Chu Junbai forced a smile, feeling helpless, but still politely said, "Thank you all for your concern for Mu Xiaowan and me!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than one of the quick-witted women couldn't help but say, "Captain Chu, you're finally back! We just passed by your house, but no one answered the door no matter how much we knocked. It's broad daylight, and Xiao Wan is home alone. I hope nothing bad has happened to her!" The other women chimed in, one after another, like a theatrical performance.
Chu Junbai sighed helplessly and patiently explained, "Sisters, you've probably misunderstood. My wife was asleep when I left, and I didn't want to wake her. So I locked the door to let her sleep peacefully. I was planning to come back now and get her some food from the cafeteria, but I didn't expect you to misunderstand."
But the sisters-in-law were still worried and kept asking questions, from Mu Xiaowan's health to whether the two had any conflicts, no matter how small.
Chu Junbai could only patiently assure them that Mu Xiaowan was doing well and that he and she were getting along well, before his sisters-in-law finally stopped talking, half believing him.
After finally managing to deal with his sisters-in-law, Chu Junbai opened the door to find the house quiet inside.
He tiptoed into the bedroom and immediately saw Mu Xiaowan lying on the bed, fast asleep.
The afternoon sun filtered through the thin curtains, casting golden dapples on her face. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she were having a sweet dream, a faint smile playing on her lips. Looking at this scene, Chu Junbai's weariness instantly vanished, his heart filled with tenderness.
He sat gently on the edge of the bed, quietly watching Mu Xiaowan, recalling the little moments they had shared. The time hadn't been long, but each day had been rich and fulfilling.
Mu Xiaowan looks gentle and quiet, but her stubbornness and rebelliousness are something he can't do anything about.
Thinking of all this, Chu Junbai gently took Mu Xiaowan's hand and placed a tender kiss on her forehead. Mu Xiaowan seemed to sense something, her eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Chu Junbai sitting by the bed, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her voice was still a little lazy: "You're back."
Chu Junbai smiled slightly, patted her hair and said, "You're awake. Are you hungry? I came back to get a lunchbox. I was just about to go to the cafeteria to get you some food."
Mu Xiaowan was a little scared by Chu Junbai's gentleness. He seemed like a pervert in disguise. She moved to the side and nodded.
Chu Junbai: "..."
Mu Xiaowan, we have a long future ahead of us.
During dinner, Chu Junbai told Mu Xiaowan what had just happened, and Mu Xiaowan almost spat out her food.
These women are really kind-hearted.
The next day, the two went out together and ran into several neighbors.
Those sisters-in-law who had previously suspected discord between them looked at each other in disbelief at the sight.
Then, the women's wives gathered around, laughing and teasing, "Wow, you two are so sweet together! We were saying you two were having a fight, but it seems we were just worrying for nothing!"
Chu Junbai and Mu Xiaowan exchanged a smile, Mu Xiaowan's face flushing slightly. Mu Xiaowan said softly, "Thank you for your concern, sisters-in-law, we're fine."
Chu Junbai quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, we've made everyone worry."
Chu Junbai held Mu Xiaowan's hand tightly. They walked along, under the watchful eyes of onlookers. Everyone they met greeted them warmly.
Sunlight streamed down their bodies, casting long shadows that seemed to whisper tales of their unwavering love. Only at this moment were the rumors of their discord completely dispelled, and the neighborhood once again filled with envy and blessings for this loving couple.
……
The city was still experiencing power outages without warning, just like always.
Mu Xiaowan had just finished designing a noise-canceling headphone and earned some money, but she wasn't satisfied. The hotel wasn't finished yet. She needed to move on to her next project.
That day, Jiang Yinglan came to visit Mu Xiaowan. During their conversation, she mentioned the power outage.
Jiang Yinglan is a huge TV drama fan. Recently, a popular TV series is airing at a crucial point, but her home has been experiencing frequent power outages, which is really affecting her mood.
"Xiao Wan, this power outage has really messed me up! I've been following that TV series for so long, I didn't want to miss a single episode, but now, I'm on tenterhooks every time I watch it, and there's no rerun, it's driving me crazy!"
While comforting her, Mu Xiaowan remembered the generator, which had been forced to shut down before, but could now be restarted.
After countless days and nights of experimentation, Mu Xiaowan finally succeeded on this day. Although the generator is not large, it is sufficient for the family's use.
She asked Chu Shaoqing to send the generator back.
Chu Shaoqing now admires Mu Xiaowan even more.
"My sister-in-law is capable of everything!"
Chu Shaoqing patted his chest and assured her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I've got it covered!" With that, he carefully carried the generator onto the tricycle.
Chu Shaoqing hummed a little tune as he delivered the generator to their home. At that moment, Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu were watering the vegetables in the yard, with Bai Jiao'e keeping them company.
"Grandpa and Grandma, look what I brought back for you."
Chu Shaoqing jumped out of the car and lifted the cover, "This is the latest generator. I can guarantee that in such a big community, only our family has one."
Seeing Chu Shaoqing carrying in a big machine, Bai Jiao'e's eyes lit up. Before Chu Shaoqing could finish speaking, she hurriedly ran to the old man and the old woman to show off her success: "Mom and Dad, look at him! Our Shaoqing is becoming more and more successful. He knows how to earn money to support Grandpa and Grandma. He even bought a generator. Now our family won't have to worry about power outages anymore!"
The old lady smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits, praising Chu Shaoqing for being so sensible.
Looking at Bai Jiao'e's smug expression, Chu Shaoqing said calmly, "Mom, I didn't buy this generator. My sister-in-law made it. I just helped her deliver it back."
The moment she said that, Bai Jiao'e's smile froze on her face. Her eyes widened in disbelief, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
"What did you say? How could she have done this?" Bai Jiao'e didn't believe it; this was a lie!
"It's true. My sister-in-law and I studied with Professor Lin together. My sister-in-law learns quickly and is talented. Of course, she's the one who did it."
Bai Jiao'e was furious at being humiliated. She glared at Chu Shaoqing and muttered to herself, "That unfilial son of his is as annoying as ever. Why won't he just take the credit for me?"
"This child is really capable; we're so lucky to have him," the old man praised.
Jiang Yinglan came out of the door when she heard Chu Shaoqing's voice. She learned that Mu Xiaowan had set up the generator. She glanced coldly at Bai Jiao'e, her face full of pride.
"Great! I don't have to worry about not being able to watch TV dramas when the power goes out anymore!"
