"Why don't you just forget it! I was just kidding."
"Who are you kidding? I'm serious. I admit defeat."
A grown-up girl washing a boy's socks seems a bit... I regret taking this as a bet now.
But we may be related by blood, so it shouldn’t be a problem for a sister to wash her brother’s socks, right?
I feel like she should be older than me.
It makes sense for the younger sister to wash her brother's socks.
"You asked for this yourself?!"
"Nonsense! Hurry up."
I sat on the sofa and took off my socks in no time.
He Tong pinched her nose with one hand, stretched out the other hand, picked up the socks with two slender fingers, and ran to the bathroom.
Then the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Is it that smelly?
"Hey! Can you tell me how you calculated it so quickly?"
What? You still want to learn my 48-digit deduction technique?
"Pick your fingers."
I was telling the truth, but she thought I was lying.
"Why are you so stingy? Knowledge needs to be spread."
Don’t try this on me. Wait until I have a son before spreading the word. I already know that teaching a disciple will only lead to starvation.
"Then I'll wash your socks for a year. Can you teach me how to calculate it?"
"No need! It's not like I don't have arms."
Besides, there are people who wash my socks, it’s not her turn.
But since I'm opening up the conversation, I'd also like to ask something that interests me.
"I heard that you He family members are very smart. Is that true?"
I don’t know whether the socks were washed clean or not, but she came out with my face towel.
"That's right! In terms of intelligence, our He family ranks second, and no one ranks first."
This damn sense of superiority, how can I be proud of it?
"What does your father do?"
He Tong raised an eyebrow when she heard this: "What do you mean, you want to see if you can match me?"
"Get lost! I just want to see why your He family is so smart."
He Tong was a little skeptical, so she took out a small mirror and held it up while sitting next to me.
"What are you doing?"
He Tong looked at him carefully. "Don't say! They do look alike. Hey? You're so smart, and you look so much like me. Could you be my dad's illegitimate child?"
What kind of girl is this? How could she say this about her own father?
"Is your father a playboy?"
"Your dad is the playboy! My dad is a member of the Academy of Sciences and is inseparable from my mom. He's not a playboy at all! Where's your dad?"
This was her suggestion, right?
"My dad is abroad."
"What's your dad's name?"
"Are you checking the household registration? Keep it secret!"
"Tsk! You think I'm interested?"
Not interested yet asking.
There seems to be something called kinship testing. Should I draw some blood from her and test it if it's accurate? Then when I meet the He family, I can decide whether to recognize her or not.
But it’s not easy to get some blood from a girl, right?
What? Period?
I can't let a grown man like me keep an eye on when someone comes and then steal that thing.
Or let the viper bite her, as there is a blood-drawing device in the viper's mouth.
As I was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door, which scared me.
"Engineer Zheng! How about we have a drink together?" It was Wei Shaotang's voice.
I got up and opened the door. He was stunned when he saw He Tong:
"you……"
"What's wrong with us? I came here to wash his socks. Now I'm trying to find a way to get him to teach me mental arithmetic."
Wei Shaotang smiled, then held up the tea set and tea leaves:
"Come on! Make a pot."
I thought it was wine! Tea is fine.
"Okay! I happen to have some dried fruits here."
Wei Shaotang came tonight and started by asking me some questions about the new equipment. Then when we were almost done talking, he said:
"Engineer Zheng! Can you let us conduct a practical exercise with the new equipment? That way we can get a more intuitive understanding of its performance."
He Tong perked up when he heard that: "Yeah! Let's fight with guns. With this kind of practical operation, we will soon be able to do it."
I thought to myself, what does a drill have to do with a technician like you... Wait a minute! If she gets bit by a viper during a drill, no one seems to care.
Not to mention a bite, even if the scales rub against it and draw a little blood, is that okay?
"General Wei, this is a very good suggestion. We will organize an exercise tomorrow and let you practice it."
"Great, I want to join in too. I want to get a gun."
After He Tong finished speaking, the groove on Wei Shaotang's forehead could kill a fly:
"Auntie! You seem to have forgotten that you blew yourself up with a blank during the last drill. Engineer Zheng, you don't know that the He family is seriously lacking in athletic ability. I'm afraid she'll hurt herself."
Uh... another one that's very similar to me.
But I'm better than her. I'm not good at martial arts, but I have no problem using a gun.
"Then she needs more training. Let her do it!"
"Hehe! Now it seems you're not so annoying after all."
He Tong ran away after saying this.
I was puzzled. She was a girl and obviously not good at wielding swords and guns, but she was so keen on it.
"Then I won't disturb Mr. Zheng's rest. See you tomorrow!"
I'm looking forward to it too, as long as I can get some blood from He Tong.
I can't let them know, otherwise they will be suspicious just by my appearance. If I get He Tong's blood, won't they immediately think that I might be a member of the He family?
The key is that they have He Jinsong outside.
…
It wasn't until I arrived at the base the next day that I realized that the actual drill was everyone's idea, but they just asked Wei Shaotang to do the talking.
"We only have twenty of the new individual terminals this time. I plan to conduct practical exercises at a larger training ground."
