From Laughter to Worship: My Journey to Build a Spaceship
墨書 Inktalez
"Ten years after graduation and still no news, you must be researching spaceships, right?" At the class reunion, Ma Xiaoyi's contemptuous remark drew laughter from everyone. I was stunned; how did they know? The next day, those who mocked me were summoned for tea due to their suspected probing into state secrets.

Ma Xiaoyi seemed oblivious to the seriousness of the situation, still basking in her self-constructed superiority. She exaggeratedly covered her mouth and giggled, "Oh my gosh, Mai Huahua, your imagination is something else! Spaceships? Why don't you say you're researching aliens?"
Classmate A joined in the mockery: "Exactly! Mai Huahua, if you really are researching spaceships, I'll live stream myself washing my hair upside down!"
Mai Huahua tightened her grip on the water cup, her fingertips turning white as she struggled to contain her anger. The class monitor seemed to sense the awkward atmosphere and quickly intervened: "Alright, everyone stop joking around. Huahua, it's been a while! What have you been working on lately? Share with us."
"Yeah, Huahua, I heard you've been involved in research. What kind of project could keep you so mysterious all these years?" another classmate asked with a hint of curiosity.
Mai Huahua was about to speak when Ma Xiaoyi's sharp voice interrupted: "What project could it be? Probably some insignificant little thing that can't stand the light of day!"
As she spoke, she casually pulled out a compact powder case from her stylish handbag and began touching up her makeup, as if completely uninterested in my affairs.
Mai Huahua took a deep breath, set down her water cup, and calmly scanned everyone present before finally locking eyes with Ma Xiaoyi's heavily made-up face.
"I am indeed researching spaceships, and it's one of the country's top projects," Mai Huahua said flatly but with conviction.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment; all eyes were on Mai Huahua, their faces filled with disbelief. The compact powder case in Ma Xiaoyi's hand fell to the ground with a thud. She stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Ma Xiaoyi stared at Mai Huahua in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly but unable to produce any sound. Classmate A was equally stunned; his drink slipped from his hand, spilling beer all over himself without him even noticing.
The class monitor was the first to react, surprised as he asked, "Huahua, are you... are you serious?"
Mai Huahua said nothing, silently pulling out a small red notebook from her pocket and gently placing it on the table.
On the red cover, the golden National Emblem shimmered under the light, with a line of small text clearly visible below: "National-Level Top Secret Project."
The air around them seemed to freeze; everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the red notebook, afraid to miss any detail.
Ma Xiaoyi's face instantly turned pale. She instinctively reached out to grab the notebook, but Mai Huahua gently dodged her.
"This... how is this possible..." Ma Xiaoyi murmured, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible," Mai Huahua replied calmly, her tone revealing no emotional fluctuation. "I just did what I was supposed to do."
She put away the document, stood up, and scanned each person present before finally resting her gaze on Ma Xiaoyi.
"Some things cannot be measured by designer bags and luxury cars," Mai Huahua said in a steady voice, each word striking like a hammer on Ma Xiaoyi's heart.
Ma Xiaoyi's face flushed red and then pale again; she wanted to retort but found herself at a loss for words.
"I have something else to attend to; I'm leaving now," Mai Huahua said before turning to leave without a hint of reluctance.
Her tall figure disappeared at the door, leaving everyone exchanging glances in confusion.
"Oh my God, Huahua is actually studying spacecraft..."
"National-Level Top Secret Project, that's incredible!"
"I always thought she was quietly working in some research institute, but I never expected..."
Gasps and discussions erupted, and those classmates who once mocked Mai Huahua were now filled with admiration and envy for her.
Ma Xiaoyi sat in place, her face pale and her eyes vacant. The wealth and status she took pride in seemed so insignificant compared to Mai Huahua.
Classmate A stared blankly at the door, beer dripping down his clothes, completely oblivious to it.
"Live streaming while doing a headstand..." His expression was even worse than Ma Xiaoyi's.
The class monitor looked in the direction where Mai Huahua had left, filled with complex emotions. He knew that from this day forward, Mai Huahua would no longer be the ordinary girl they remembered, but a national hero worthy of everyone's respect.
