Chapter 13 Warm Breeze
Zheng Qing vividly recounted what happened on the train. His excited look was almost like that of an ancient teahouse storyteller, and people at several nearby tables could not help but listen attentively.
When they heard Ye Mu recognized the human trafficker, they were all surprised. When they heard that the human trafficker was holding a knife to hold Zheng Qing hostage, they were all worried for Zheng Qing.
Hearing that Ye Mu was faster than the traffickers and pulled Zheng Qing, everyone looked at Ye Mu with awe. The people at the next table couldn't help asking:
"Girl, how do you recognize a human trafficker? Teach me. I have a child at home who likes to run outside all day. There are so many human traffickers now, and I worry about them all day. If I could recognize a human trafficker as easily as you do, then what would I be afraid of?"
"Yeah yeah."
"That's right."
Others agreed, but some doubted what they were saying: "You must be exaggerating. This little girl looks so weak. How dare she stand in front of the human traffickers?"
"If a human trafficker sees her, he will kidnap her as well."
Ye Mu naturally didn't say anything. She just ignored the discussions around her and concentrated on eating. It was a rare opportunity to have such delicious food, it would be a waste if she didn't eat it.
How can I have the mood to listen to their stories?
Mr. Xu looked at Zheng Qing and said:
"You are such a good speaker, it's a waste if you don't go to the newspaper to write. It's not as exaggerated as you say!"
Zheng Qing didn't expect so many people would listen to his story and ask Ye Mu so enthusiastically. Seeing Ye Mu's silence, he vaguely sensed something was wrong and quickly said:
"Am I exaggerating a bit, or is it that Ye Mu looks even more majestic when she follows that soldier? Isn't it Ye Mu who is here? I want to praise her a little bit."
Mr. Xu continued, "Ye Mu is thin-skinned. Look, the person you praised is too embarrassed to speak. You should be truthful when speaking!"
The matter was lightly dropped as Mr. Xu and Zheng Qing chatted with each other. Everyone didn't want to pay any more attention to Ye Mu. As for Ye Mu's silence and lack of answer, it was attributed to embarrassment.
Everyone agreed with what Mr. Xu said, and subjectively thought that Zheng Qing was exaggerating too much, but Song Yanzhou naturally didn't think so.
What Zheng Qing said should not be too exaggerated. The soldier he mentioned was obviously Ye Qianjun. Ye Qianjun failed to discover the other party's disguise, but Ye Mu did. This shows that Ye Mu should have extremely high observation skills and extremely sharp reactions.
Song Yanzhou was a little confused at this time. Ye Mu was clearly an autistic patient, but judging from the people he had come into contact with in the past two days and some of Ye Mu's behaviors he had heard of, she gave people two extremely split impressions and feelings.
She is autistic and refuses to communicate with others, but she is very smart, perhaps even smarter than most ordinary people.
It's really... completely different from the autism he knows.
Maybe I should ask more carefully.
Song Yanzhou thought so and took Ye Mu home after dinner.
In the afternoon, the military district's car arrived, but with a different driver. Ye Mu was holding his flowers, while Song Yanzhou was carrying large and small bags and Ye Mu's half box of spare parts beside him.
The soldier driving the car was obviously one of Song Yanzhou's men. He quickly came up to help Song Yanzhou move the things into the car, then looked at Ye Mu and said to Song Yanzhou:
"Captain, you and sister-in-law go to the front, I'll help you watch things."
Song Yanzhou thought about what happened this morning, nodded, took Ye Mu to the front, and let her sit in the passenger seat.
While fastening her seat belt, Ye Mu carefully moved her flowers away. Song Yanzhou took a look and thought that she really treasured this pot of flowers.
But the rose in this pot is blooming very beautifully. After fastening her seat belt, Song Yanzhou got out of the car and took a look, making sure that all the military wives who were going back had got on the car, and then he went to the front to drive.
Song Yanzhou drove very steadily, especially after the bumps and accidents along the way in the morning. He would drive even more steadily on bad roads.
The military wives following behind also rarely felt that the car could drive so smoothly on mountain roads. Of course, no matter how stable the car was, it was useless on some sections of the road, but overall, the feeling of riding in the car was better than ever before.
After getting off the car, everyone couldn't help but praise Song Yanzhou. Song Yanzhou's team members were carrying his bags out of the car. When he picked up the half box of parts, he heard the crackling sound of steel colliding inside, and he was puzzled.
Didn’t the captain take his sister-in-law to the street to shop today? Why are there these things?
As soon as Jiang's wife got out of the car, she saw Wu Yueying at the entrance of the military district, and hurried forward to describe in vivid detail what had happened in the car that morning:
"I don't think she has autism. You didn't see that Ye Mu kept sticking to Captain Song, so Captain Song finally stood up to give her his seat. She even pretended to be unsteady and hugged Captain Song's waist when the car turned a corner."
"You are so shameless that you know how to seduce men even though you have autism. Everyone in our military region knows that it's only a matter of time before you and Captain Song get together. Arranged marriages are still popular these days. Captain Song's family is really not open-minded."
"Ye Mu is so weak and frail, and you can tell at first glance that she is not a good wife. She is very arrogant and doesn't talk. She must look down on military wives. Her autism is just an excuse. What autism? I don't believe it. Doesn't an autistic person mean he is a fool? She doesn't look that stupid, unless she is really a fool."
Wu Yueying came here specifically to see the time. The military wives who went to the city this morning usually came back at this time. She came to the gate of the military area specifically to see who Ye Mu was and what he looked like.
Hearing what Mrs. Jiang said, Wu Yueying was immediately filled with anger. Why was Ye Mu so close to her man?
She had never really hugged Song Yanzhou in her previous life!
Song Yanzhou was married to her in his previous life, and after the divorce he remained single for her sake. She would not allow any other woman to get close to him in this life!
She was furious, but Wu Yueying didn't show it on her face. She said to Jiang's wife:
"Thank you, Sister Jiang, but this is all that can happen between Yan Zhou and me for now. I didn't expect his family to arrange a marriage for him."
"But there are indeed people with autism, but the ones I've seen are all idiots. If Ye Mu is not stupid, then she must really be disrespectful to her sisters-in-law. Many people in the city have this problem."
Most of the military wives came from the countryside. Jiang's wife was one of them. After hearing her words, she immediately became more certain of what she was thinking. She wanted to say something else, but Wu Yueying saw Song Yanzhou coming over and quickly interrupted her:
"Mrs. Jiang, you bought some meat. It's hot now, so you should take it home and fry it before it gets rancid."
Mrs. Jiang thought so too. The other military wives had already left with their shopping. She glanced at Song Yanzhou and saw that Wu Yueying had no intention of leaving. She smiled and said:
"Then I'll be leaving first. Go take a look at Ye Mu. He's just average looking. I don't think he's as good looking as you. He's too skinny and ugly! He can't even give birth to a child."
Wu Yueying smiled politely, and as soon as she left, she immediately walked towards Song Yanzhou's direction.
Song Yanzhou had just walked around the front of the car and came over here. Before getting out of the car, he unbuckled Ye Mu's seat belt and asked her to wait in it.
The car was quite high, and Ye Mu was worried that it would be difficult for Ye Mu to get out with the flowers in his arms.
Song Yanzhou ignored Wu Yueying who was walking over and knocked on the car door. Ye Mu leaned out of the car window to look at him. Song Yanzhou said:
"Open the door, come down."
The voice was still cold, exactly the same as Wu Yueying's appearance in her previous life. Wu Yueying laughed secretly in her heart. Song Yanzhou was like this, cold to everyone.
Ye Mu opened the car door and held her rose. Song Yanzhou reached out to take it, but Ye Mu didn't let go. He had to stand by to prevent her from stepping on empty air.
The distance between the car ladder and the ground was quite high. When Ye Mu came down, Song Yanzhou raised his hand to help Ye Mu. Wu Yueying hurried forward and almost pounced on him, grabbing Ye Mu's arm. Ye Mu was almost knocked off his feet in the car by her.
She immediately turned to look at Wu Yueying, who was very hostile to her, but her face was extremely unfamiliar.
The original owner didn't find any figure similar to her in his memory.
"I'll help you get off the car. Go slowly. It's a little high. Don't fall."
Ye Mu lowered his eyes and looked at his rose, then suddenly pulled his hand away from hers. She was so hostile yet she wanted to act peacefully and friendly with him.
Ye Mu was in no mood to act with this unknown woman, so he looked at Song Yanzhou and said:
"come over."
She showed strong resistance to Wu Yueying. Song Yanzhou hurried forward and walked to the other side of Ye Mu. Ye Mu hurriedly stuffed the flowers in his hand into his arms, then put one hand on his shoulder and got out of the car.
When she put her hand on Song Yanzhou's shoulder, the gazes around her became more intense, as if they wanted to execute her on the spot.
Ye Mu made a judgment in her heart. After getting off the car, she rubbed her hands. When this woman pounced on her just now, she grabbed her hands with extraordinary force.
She lifted up her sleeves and saw that there were some red marks on her fair skin that had not yet faded, and she could vaguely feel that the red areas seemed to be swelling and getting hot.
Wasn't it because of Song Yanzhou that he came here for her?
Look at her, this woman is disgusting.
Ye Mu raised his hand in front of Song Yanzhou, "It hurts."
Song Yanzhou was a little confused. He looked at her thin arms. According to the military district's standards, the marks there were nothing to consider, and they were not even injuries at all.
Ye Mu's skin is tender. His nose turned red from bumping into him this morning, and his face was also rubbed a little red. Wu Yueying just pounced on him, so it was inevitable that some marks were left on her body.
He didn't think much about it, but his expression became a little colder.
He was originally going to help her, but Wu Yueying's action was too sudden, without any warning or reason.
Ye Mu suffered an unexpected disaster.
"Go back and apply the medicine." He said coldly.
She failed to achieve her goal, and she wanted to see the woman who was hostile to her even more uncomfortable.
Ye Mu raised his hand and stared at Song Yanzhou for a while, unable to think of any other solution.
She had never been close to anyone, so if this woman wanted to bully her because she had feelings for Song Yanzhou, any more interaction between her and Song Yanzhou would make this woman extremely uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Ye Mu was not proficient in this area. When she studied mechanical life, she did not think of setting up basic love programs for them.
"I didn't mean to do that. I didn't expect Ye Mu's hands to be so tender. Captain Song... I'm sorry."
Wu Yueying on the side quickly interrupted, walked to Song Yanzhou and apologized to him.
It was she who was pinched and hurt, not Song Yanzhou. Instead of apologizing to her, she ran in front of Song Yanzhou to seek attention. Ye Mu made a note of this woman in his heart.
Ye Mu saw that her eyes had become calm and she had completely put on the camouflage mask. He was afraid that he would not be able to tear it off for a while, so he decided to stop for this round.
She will study how to deal with the enemy in this situation later.
Just when her hands were sore and she was about to put them down, Song Yanzhou couldn't stand her stare and remembered the tricks adults used to play to coax children when they were children. He lowered his head and blew gently on her red arms twice.
"Okay. It won't hurt after you exhale." Song Yanzhou said to Ye Mu with a stern face. Ye Mu looked at Wu Yueying whose face suddenly changed. She looked like she couldn't hold it anymore, so he put down his hand.
This old woman must have been devastated when she saw her lover being intimate with another woman.
Ye Mu took his rose from Song Yanzhou's arms, and then walked to the little soldier who was watching it for them.
"Sister-in-law!" The young soldier greeted her quickly. Ye Mu squatted down and patted the half box of parts, then turned around and looked at Song Yanzhou who was walking over with his eyes almost glowing.
Song Yanzhou: “…”
She is now a little bit like a child again, but not quite like the developmental delay of an autistic person.
Those actions just now probably show that you feel you are being bullied?
Song Yanzhou felt inexplicably funny and walked forward to pick up the half box of parts. Ye Mu immediately stood up and followed him.
Song Yanzhou came to another conclusion about her: she cares about the things she likes, and she only cares about the things she likes.
Maybe this pot of flowers and these parts, in her own world, are equal to her entire world?
The things in the other bags were all bought for her, and the clothes had also been tried on her, but she never even glanced at them.
Seeing that they bought a lot of things, Wu Yueying hurried forward to help carry a bag and said:
"Let me help too. It's my compensation for hurting Ye Mu by accident just now."
"No need, Zhou Heping can carry it." Song Yanzhou took a part and gave the rest to Zhou Heping.
In fact, he could carry it by himself, but it would be inconvenient to go upstairs because the corridor is not as spacious as the street.
Zhou Heping quickly took the bag from Wu Yueying's hand and said:
"Comrade Wu, thank you. The captain and I can take these away."
Although the captain did not say thank you, Zhou Heping still had a good impression of Wu Yueying and said thank you.
Wu Yueying smiled at him gently and said, "I didn't help at all. I don't deserve your thanks."
"Captain Song, I heard from the sisters-in-law that Ye Mu is autistic. People with autism need to communicate with others more. You are usually very busy with training, so why not let the sisters-in-law who live with you talk to Ye Mu more, and she will get better slowly."
Song Yanzhou simply nodded, his expression cold, and said, "It depends on the situation."
It was of course difficult for him to say that he had no idea how to help Ye Mu with his treatment, so he could only say something perfunctorily and then take Ye Mu away.
Zhou Heping smiled at Wu Yueying and hurriedly chased after her with his things in his hands.
Wu Yueying was satisfied. Song Yanzhou's attitude towards Ye Mu was still cold, just like he was to her in his previous life.
There won't be any change just because you get married.
Although the relationship between Ye Mu and him was not like that in her previous life, it was not much different.
Song Yanzhou's future seems fine, but it is definitely affected and his advancement will not be as fast as before.
As for just now...
Wu Yueying recalled the scene where Song Yanzhou had just comforted Ye Mu. Although his face was still cold, that action looked so doting and it was very eye-catching.
He is not gentle, but his actions are very considerate.
Just like in his previous life, he clearly didn't like her because of that incident, but still gave her enough money every month.
Wu Yueying took a deep breath and suppressed the depression, jealousy and anger in her heart. They were husband and wife in their previous life, but it didn't end happily.
God let her start over again just to give her a chance to make up for these regrets.
She will make her marriage with Song Yanzhou regret-free!
First of all, we have to find a way to get Ye Mu and Song Yanzhou to divorce...
Wu Yueying walked towards the dormitory thinking.
After putting everything back into the house, Song Yanzhou went out again and locked the door from the outside.
The big items he bought have not been brought back yet, so he is leaving now to bring back those cabinets and other things.
Before leaving, he watched Ye Mu fiddle with the parts for a while, and repeatedly reminded her not to swallow these things. After getting Ye Mu's nod, he left with some relief.
He specifically said that it would hurt more than his hand after swallowing it, hoping to scare her.
After all, some of the parts inside were really small, and Song Yanzhou was worried that she might swallow them out of ignorance.
On the way to the city, Song Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had really raised a daughter and was worried about the heart of an old father.
Zhou Heping, who was traveling with him, hesitated several times before speaking:
"Captain, my sister-in-law... is really suffering from that disease..."
Originally, when I looked at Ye Mu, I thought she was almost as pretty as Wu Yueying, so it would be a good thing for their captain to marry her.
Now that I know Ye Mu is ill, my mentality has changed a little.
The captain is the most wise and brave among them, how could he marry such a wife? It's like a flower stuck in cow dung.
Their captain is the flower.
