Chapter 1312 Zhang Chunqiu's Request

Zhou Wen always had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care what Zhang Yuzhi said.

In fact, Zhou Wen basically didn't hear what Zhang Yuzhi was saying. Along the way, he was trying to get used to listening to the sounds of heaven and earth.

But this is too difficult. Not to mention receiving all the sounds, even if it is just the sound in front of him, Zhou Wen can only occasionally hear the right channel.

When he listened to Zhang Yuzhi, he basically listened for 20% and guessed for 70%, and the remaining 10% was just blind guessing, so he always did the wrong things that Zhang Yuzhi asked him to do.

Otherwise, with his control over power, even if he didn't know how to grow flowers, he wouldn't have made so many mistakes.

Zhou Wenben thought Zhang Yuzhi would be angry with his behavior. After all, it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into this garden. Every plant and tree seemed ordinary, but they were actually carefully selected.

However, although Zhang Yuzhi kept nagging Zhou Wen, he was not really angry. Instead, he patiently told Zhou Wen what to do.

However, because Zhou Wen basically just listened and guessed, he could only understand less than half of what was said, so he seemed very clumsy. Often, even after Zhang Yuzhi explained it several times, Zhou Wen still couldn't understand the situation.

Zhang Yuzhi was not in a hurry either, and seemed to find it a pleasure to teach the clumsy Zhou Wen how to plant flowers and chant.

Zhou Wen was even less anxious. He had to practice and adapt to the abilities that Di Ting brought him anyway. It was just that he kept doing some irrelevant things, which made Zhou Wen feel a little embarrassed.

On this day, Zhou Wen did nothing but help Zhang Yuzhi to garden.

No, it should be said that he destroyed the garden. Zhou Wen didn't quite understand what he was saying and made a lot of mistakes, like watering the roots instead of the leaves. Although it was harmless, the mistakes were so many that the originally perfect and exquisite garden became a little bit out of place.

Zhang Yuzhi knew this, but he refused to do it himself and continued to direct Zhou Wen.

It was not until the sun went down that Zhang Chunqiu came to call them for dinner, and Zhang Yuzhi let Zhou Wen go.

Although Zhou Wen always spoke less and listened more, Zhang Chunqiu and Zhang Yuzhi were both extremely smart people, so they could naturally see that Zhou Wen seemed to have some problems with his hearing.

But since Zhou Wen didn't say anything, they didn't ask and continued to chat with him with a smile. Even if Zhou Wen's answers were irrelevant, they could still continue chatting, as if they didn't notice anything abnormal about Zhou Wen at all.

"It's getting late, I should say goodbye." After dinner, Zhou Wen planned to return to Luoyang.

"No way, the garden work hasn't been finished yet, and you're just leaving like that? Isn't that giving up halfway?" Zhang Yuzhi said with his eyes wide open.

Even though Zhou Wen didn't hear what Zhang Yuzhi said, he could tell what she said from her expression.

Zhou Wen discovered that not being able to hear what the other person was saying was not necessarily a bad thing. Some people say that if you close your eyes and listen to the world, you will discover many beautiful things that have been overlooked in the past.

In fact, the same is true in reverse. Without sound, unable to hear the other person's language, without the embellishment of words, and only using your eyes to observe silently, you will discover many things that were previously difficult to discover.

"It turns out that human expressions and body language are so interesting." Zhou Wen found that he used to easily ignore other people's emotions and only judge their thoughts based on their words.

Now I find that language can often be deceiving, but the emotions reflected in body language cannot be deceiving.

During the time when he couldn't hear what the other person was saying, Zhou Wen's ability to read body language grew rapidly.

"I can't stay here forever to help you take care of the garden, right?" Zhou Wen said.

Being able to read people’s emotions doesn’t mean Zhou Wen will become someone with high emotional intelligence. In fact, reading comprehension and instinctive reaction are two different things.

"At least fix the part you damaged before, okay?" Zhang Yuzhi said.

Zhou Wen heard this and thought about it carefully. He felt that it made sense. He had come to help, but he had messed up the garden. It was not good.

"Okay, let's continue tomorrow." Zhou Wen thought to himself that he already had a general idea of ​​the habits of the flowers and plants today, so it shouldn't take much time to get things done tomorrow.

Zhang Yuzhi still seemed to be in poor health, so after dinner, Zhang Chunqiu asked someone to send her back to rest.

"Don't try to cheat and run away." Before leaving, Zhang Yuzhi turned back and teased Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen didn't hear what she said, nor could he guess what she meant from her expression, so he could only respond with a smile.

Zhang Yuzhi chuckled, then turned and left.

Zhou Wen was helpless. He didn't know what Zhang Yuzhi was talking about, and he had no idea what Zhang Yuzhi was laughing at. He felt like a fool.

"I'll take you to the guest room." After Zhang Chunqiu took Zhou Wen to the guest room, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat down next to the table.

Zhang Chunqiu extended his index finger, dipped some water in the teacup, and wrote, "Zhou Wen, do you need any help?"

"Thank you, I'm fine. I'll recover in a while." Zhou Wen was not surprised. It would be strange if Zhang Chunqiu couldn't see it.

"I do have something that I really need your help with." Zhang Chunqiu wrote seriously.

"Is the situation in the Demon Tomb very bad?" Zhou Wen was shocked and asked quickly.

Zhang Chunqiu shook his head and wrote, "I hope you can stay at the Zhang family for four more days."

"Why?" Zhou Wen looked at Zhang Chunqiu in confusion. They wanted him to stay but didn't tell him what to do. This made Zhou Wen feel very confused.

"Please help me protect my younger sister during these four days." The younger sister Zhang Chunqiu was referring to was Zhang Yuzhi.

Because Zhang Yuzhi is the only female in this generation of the Zhang family, Zhang Chunqiu and others are used to calling her "little sister".

"Is Yuzhi in danger?" Zhou Wen's expression also became serious.

Zhang Chunqiu nodded: "There are some problems within the Zhang family. I am afraid that someone will harm my younger sister. You should understand that at this time, it is not convenient for me to use my own family members."

"Four days, no problem." Zhou Wen thought about it and thought that if it was just like this, it shouldn't be a difficult task.

Although the Zhang family is powerful, they do not have a disaster-level strongman after all, so it should not be too difficult to protect Zhang Yuzhi's safety.

"Thank you." Zhang Chunqiu said these two words with his mouth.

Zhou Wen happened to hear this and shook his head, saying, "Yuzhi is my friend and has saved me before. This is what I should do."

Zhang Chunqiu didn't say anything else. He smiled at Zhou Wen, got up and left his room.

After Zhang Chunqiu left the courtyard, Zhang Xiao came over and asked in confusion, "Why did you keep Zhou Wen here at this time?"

"My younger sister has sacrificed too much for the Zhang family in her life and doesn't even have a normal friend. Since she is happy, let Zhou Wen stay and accompany her for a few days." Zhang Chunqiu sighed.

"Zhou Wen is a fool. If you want to make me happy, you should tell him everything and let him try his best to please me. Otherwise, Zhou Wen's personality will only make me unhappy." Zhang Xiao said.

"Are you questioning my intelligence, or do you think I'm the type of person who would happily accept sympathy?" Zhang Chunqiu glanced at Zhang Xiao coldly.
