Having her thoughts exposed, Qiu Man didn't hide anything, "I really want to know. Look at me, I'm almost turning into a little black person."
Qiu Man's words were somewhat exaggerated. He was actually just a bronze-skinned man, and he was only saying this to try and find out if the young couple had any other secrets.
Shen Yanming raised his right hand and said, "When I was doing the experiment, I accidentally soaked my hand in the energy rainwater, and then this happened."
Qiu Man almost spat out his tea upon hearing this; he hadn't expected the answer to be so simple and blunt.
They had wanted to solve the skin color problem for a long time, and some people in the research institute had thought of energy rain, but none of them were willing to use energy rain for experiments. Everyone was putting it off to see if there were any other discoveries.
Seeing Qiu Man's shocked expression, Shen Yanming restrained the urge to touch his nose. To be honest, he didn't want to do that.
Originally, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan had agreed to use cosmetics to color their hands the same color as their arms before Qiu Man arrived. They even tried out the makeup to determine the order and amount of application.
Neither of them expected Qiu Man to arrive so early. Shen Yanming had just woken up and forgot about it when he went to open the door.
When he returned to his bedroom and saw Bi Qiaoan's exceptionally fair and dazzling finger, he remembered the problem with his own hand.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Although Shen Yanming wasn't sure if Qiu Man had noticed, he still needed to make some other preparations.
So, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan discussed two plans in the bathroom. During breakfast, he received a hint from Bi Qiaoan, which led him to give Qiu Man's answer.
That's right, their first plan was to determine whether energy rain really works on skin color changes.
After Shen Yanming left the bathroom, Bi Qiaoan took out a bottle of energy rainwater from her spatial storage.
After pouring the rainwater into a paper cup, Bi Qiaoan dipped a pink finger into the energy rainwater until she was sure her skin had really become white and smooth before leaving the bedroom.
This explains why Bi Qiaoan didn't go out to greet guests for so long.
As for the second option, it's obviously to lie directly, saying that Old Shen went out to work and kept wearing a glove on his right hand, which caused him to have two different skin tones from the sun.
Obviously, the second plan is a bit far-fetched, but fortunately the first plan works.
Shen Yanming left Qiu Man speechless. Qiu Man could only sip his tea, and to be honest, his tea was really delicious.
If Shen Yanming knew what Qiu Man was thinking, he would definitely chuckle. How could the tea produced in the space not taste good?
The two chatted for over an hour, and Shen Yanming felt he was running out of things to say, but Qiu Man sat on the sofa, showing no sign of leaving.
So Shen Yanming asked directly, "When do you plan to leave?"
Qiu Man burst out laughing. "I thought you wouldn't ask. Are you guys feeling particularly uncomfortable with me here?"
Shen Yanming thought to himself, "Is that even a question?"
But he said, "I've prepared some things for you; please take them with you when you leave."
Qiu Man was a little surprised, "They even prepared something for me, what is it?"
Shen Yanming did not answer. He dragged a suitcase out of the storage room, dragged it to the living room, and opened it in front of Qiu Man. Inside were two packets of milk curds, a packet of dried strawberries, a packet of dried blueberries, a packet of melon seeds, a packet of peanuts, a large bottle of coffee beans, a large bottle of tea, and two bottles of rose jam.
"The milk curds, dried strawberries, and dried blueberries were all made this year, so there aren't many of them."
The peanuts and sunflower seeds were bought when Joan and I got married last year, and the rose jam was made during the Energy Rain event last year. Although these have been stored for a while, Joan and I tasted them a couple of days ago and they were still fresh.
As for the coffee beans, they were bought from abroad, and the tea leaves were from Xuan Province. We thought these things would keep for a long time, so we bought a bit too much. We can't finish them all at once, so we'll share some with you. We hope you don't mind.
Shen Yanming explained everything clearly, and Qiu Man was a little moved as she looked at the contents that were almost filling the entire box.
Although Shen Yanming kept saying things like "it takes a long time" and "the quantity is small," in the current environment, these things, while dispensable, are all very rare.
Moreover, these things will become increasingly rare in the future, and Qiu Man understands their significance.
Seeing Shen Yanming's politeness, Qiu Man waved her hand and quickly said, "No problem, no problem at all. I didn't expect you to prepare gifts for me. These are very nice, thank you!"
Seeing that Qiu Man really didn't mind, Shen Yanming smiled. Although he knew that everything he had prepared was the freshest, the other party didn't know that. The fact that Qiu Man accepted it without any reservations meant that his efforts hadn't been in vain.
Shen Yanming put the two medical books he had copied for the Alliance into his suitcase. Looking at the small jade bottles, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mr. Qiu, you don't mind if I change the containers for these seeds, do you?"
At first, Qiu Man didn't realize it, but then he thought, this little jade bottle is also made of jade. Although it's antique jade, judging from its quality, it should be worth a lot of money.
Qiu Man nodded understandingly, "I don't mind, as long as they are kept separately. They will be taken out at the research institute anyway, which will only take a few hours."
Seeing Qiu Man say this, Shen Yanming took out several small plastic bottles from the storage room, then poured the seeds from the small jade bottle into the plastic bottles, one seed at a time.
To prevent Qiu Man from getting confused, Shen Yanming put the centella asiatica seeds into a plastic bottle and labeled it.
After Shen Yanming finished packing his suitcase, he went to the storage room again and took out a 5L bucket of energy rainwater. "This is the last of our stock. Whether it's used to soak seeds for the research institute or to help them research face cream, as long as it's used for the right purpose, it's fine."
Qiu Man was surprised by Shen Yanming's unexpected gesture. She stood up and bowed to him, which startled Shen Yanming.
"Xiao Shen, thank you for your support of Qinghua's scientific research. The Qinghe Alliance will never forget everything you have done for Qinghua."
"No way, Qiao An and I just want to be unsung heroes." Shen Yanming smiled and helped Qiu Man up. "We don't have that kind of ability, we just have a bit of luck. The real heroes are the researchers, medical staff, and even guards who are fighting on the front lines."
"In any case, you chose to hand these things over to the country instead of hiding them and ignoring them, and that is enough for me to thank you."
And rest assured, both General Li and I will keep the information to a minimum and do our utmost to protect you and Bi Qiaoan's safety.
With Qiu Man's assurance, Shen Yanming felt somewhat relieved.
But after waiting for a long time, Qiu Man still showed no sign of leaving.
Under Shen Yanming's increasingly impatient gaze, Qiu Man guiltily touched her short hair, "Um, I might have to stay at your house until dinner time..."
