Chapter 24: A Single Shadow
The main reason was that the woman spoke so harshly that she heard several words coming out of her mouth.
When Ye Mu heard them say that his flowers were beautiful, he quickly got out of bed and held his flowers in his arms, as if he was afraid that they would be picked again.
She didn't say anything anyway. She just stood against the wall holding the flowers, staring at her flowers with her head down, and ignored the chattering of these military wives in her room.
Wu Yueying felt very happy when she saw her pitiful appearance. She ignored her deliberately and chatted with other military wives with a gentle smile. She did not forget to brainwash the military wives and belittle Ye Mu.
"It's just a flower. My sisters-in-law came specially to accompany Ye Mu, so it's nothing to pick a flower. But autism may be like this, so I'm a little tactless."
Mrs. Jiang waved her hand. From the corner of her eye she saw Ye Mu standing alone, holding the flowers as if he had been bullied. However, she felt very happy in her heart.
He felt a sense of pleasure in bullying people, and he could vent his dislike for Ye Mu. He even wanted to twist and hit him.
But that was definitely impossible. She continued Wu Yueying's words and said generously:
"Why bother with a fool? If the flower wasn't so beautiful, I wouldn't have picked it."
Mrs. Jiang's remarks were like a robber breaking into a house and saying that it was all the family's fault because they looked too rich.
Ye Mu: NB!
She lowered her eyes and listened to their words, speechless.
She was not in a hurry. There were only a few problems with women showing off in front of other women and being sarcastic.
Either it's jealousy or it's because of men.
It is not convenient for her to come forward directly now, so she has to leave it to Song Yanzhou anyway.
Now, just play dumb.
Wu Yueying smiled while paying attention to Ye Mu's situation. Seeing that she still looked frightened, she felt a lot more relaxed.
It seems that although Ye Mu was reborn like her, she was originally a fool with autism. There is no point in such a person being reborn. If she was not lucky, she would not have been married to Song Yanzhou.
It would be better if... she was reborn as Ye Mu and could directly become Song Yanzhou’s wife.
When Wu Yueying thought of this, she felt it was extremely incredible and felt a little annoyed. Why didn't she be reborn as Ye Mu?
Just like what was written in those novels that I used to numb myself when I couldn’t make it in my previous life.
She always fantasized that she could go back to the past like them, control the development of the future, and then accompany Song Yanzhou to become rich, become a celebrity official's wife, have power and influence, and live a happy life.
But this is just speculation. Being able to be reborn means that she is very lucky. Maybe she is the daughter of heaven as written in the novel.
"This room is too small. This wardrobe takes up too much space. If we put a table in it, it will be really crowded. Let's go outside and talk."
"Call Ye Mu to come along."
"Ye Mu, go out, go out."
The military wives had stood and chatted enough, so they said to Wu Yueying and Mrs. Jiang, and then enthusiastically pulled Ye Mu's hand.
Ye Mu quickly dodged and shrank to a corner. The military wife who stretched out her hand suddenly turned pale:
"What's wrong with her? I'm not going to hit her! I came to accompany you with good intentions, but now I look like a bad guy. My little kid at home needs someone to take care of him. If it weren't for Captain Song, why would so many of our military wives come to accompany you?!"
The other military wives immediately comforted her: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, why are you angry with a fool..."
"That's right. Don't be angry. We'll just stay here and watch her. If she talks, we'll talk to her. If she doesn't talk, forget it."
Wu Yueying stood up and said, "Let me talk to Ye Mu. The sisters-in-law should go out first. Maybe there are too many people and she is afraid."
"That's true. Yueying and Ye Mu look about the same age and are both gentle people. Let Yueying do it. We should go out first. It's too crowded here."
Mrs. Jiang is quite fat. She was not so fat when she was in the village, but when she came to the military region, the men's allowance increased a bit, the food became better, and she didn't have to do much farm work all day, so she gained weight.
The military wives went out, Wu Yueying looked at Ye Mu and whispered:
"Ye Mu, don't be afraid. The sisters-in-law are all doing this for your own good. They are worried that something might happen to you at home, so they are here to look after you."
"This flower was bought for you by Yan Zhou, right? It's really beautiful. Can you give me one?"
"You don't have to give it to me if you don't want to. As long as you are happy, that's fine. I brought some candy. Do you want some?"
Wu Yueying's voice became more gentle than hers, and then she took out two White Rabbit candies from her pocket and handed them to Ye Mu.
She took the initiative to peel a candy, raised her hand and said to Ye Mu, smiling gently, as if coaxing a child:
"Try it, the sugar is very sweet."
"My hands are clean too. I washed them when I came here. And I didn't touch the sugar in it."
Ye Mu smelled the sweetness of the toffee, raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Yueying cautiously.
Ye Mu: It’s time to show off our acting skills.
But she could only act for a short while, not for too long, after all, she was not very good at it.
But obviously, the woman opposite her was not good at it either, even worse than her.
She saw through the disgust in Wu Yueying's eyes at a glance, and complained in her heart that Wu Yueying was not very professional.
How could she appear to be a gentle older sister but not be able to control the disgust in her eyes?
She took a look at the candy and shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to eat it.
Although the times are backward, Ye Mu has already gotten used to it and does not accept any food from the enemy.
You don't know whether the other party will tamper with your things, so when facing Wu Yueying, you handled it according to your own habits.
Although her reason told her that 90% of the candies in this era were fine, Wu Yueying would not dare to use any cruel means in the military area.
Wu Yueying was not happy about her rejection and ate the candy herself. Seeing this, Ye Mu felt a little bit wronged.
Wu Yueying brought so many people to her house, not only disturbing her sleep, but also causing trouble and causing people to scold her.
It's just terrible.
So Ye Mu raised his hand and took the other candy from Wu Yueying's hand and held it tightly in his hand.
Then he looked at Wu Yueying with innocent eyes.
Wu Yueying was stunned at first, then a hint of anger appeared on her face. When she saw Ye Mu looking at her, she smiled gently again:
"Do you want me to peel it for you?"
Ye Mu didn't say anything, nor did he react in any other way. He just lowered his eyes and looked at his flowers.
Wu Yueying didn't care. She wanted to know something else:
"Ye Mu, take the candy, then we will be good friends."
"Can I ask you something?"
Ye Mu looked up at her. Wu Yueying thought there was a chance. She had made Ye Mu, an autistic man, trust her.
He was bribed with just one piece of candy. It was much easier than she thought.
"I want to ask you, when you went to bed last night, were you alone or was Yan Zhou with you? Did he bully you? Did he hurt you or prevent you from sleeping?"
Ye Mu's eyes showed some doubts, and Wu Yueying quickly described it in more detail:
"Did he...press you like this..."
As she spoke, she hurriedly took action, and put one hand on both sides of Ye Mu, almost pressing on Ye Mu.
Ye Mu immediately reached out and pushed her away, using all his strength.
Wu Yueying was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground.
She screamed in pain, and Ye Mu turned around and shrank into the corner holding the flower.
Wu Yueying shook her teeth. The military wives outside had heard the noise and ran over to see what was happening.
Wu Yueying stood up with red eyes and said to the military wife:
"Sisters-in-law, I can't talk to Ye Mu either, and she even hits people."
Mrs. Jiang cursed angrily: "That's what idiots are like! They beat people up at every turn! They even pee and poop everywhere! Leave her alone, let her stay in this room, nothing will happen."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The others nodded.
Wu Yueying left with everyone else. She didn't get the news she wanted, and she felt anxious and worried.
She doesn't want her man to be touched by other women!
