Chapter 56: Shu Yuan Slowly
When Ye Mu got up the next day, he stretched comfortably and felt extremely comfortable.
Her nose was not blocked anymore. Song Yanzhou turned on the light after hearing the wake-up call. He saw her sitting on the bed and stretching. He asked:
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah." Ye Mu nodded and got out of bed.
When Song Yanzhou finished drinking water and went to get food, Ye Mu had already washed up and was waiting for him.
The food in the cafeteria is a cycle. Today's dishes are the same ones that Ye Mu had eaten a few days ago, but Ye Mu didn't pick on them.
She sat down at the table, and Song Yanzhou looked at her and said directly:
"Did you move the fan?"
It sounds like a question, but it is actually an affirmative sentence.
Ye Mu never expected that he would talk about this at this time. She thought that Song Yanzhou didn't notice anything unusual yesterday and just let it go.
Ye Mu was startled by his words after taking a bite of food, and choked suddenly:
“Cough cough cough cough…”
Song Yanzhou quickly stood up and poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. With this reaction, he no longer needed to listen to the answer from her mouth.
Maybe she would play word games with him and fool him.
Song Yanzhou waited for her to stop coughing, then sat down again and said:
"Ye Mu, are you willing to talk to me?"
There is no problem for the two of them to communicate, but he is not often at home. Ye Mu is usually free and doesn't talk much. When teaching her to speak, Ye Mu has always been cooperative.
Ye Mu took a few bites of rice to fill his stomach, then nodded: "Yes, I agree."
She wished so much. As the person closest to her in terms of space, Song Yanzhou must understand her situation so that her next step would be easier.
Song Yanzhou then asked: "Do you want to speak up, or do you want me to ask you and you answer?"
He was still trying his best to guide Ye Mu to express her opinion actively. Since she agreed to talk to him, she must have something to say.
Ye Mu was silent for a moment, Song Yanzhou waited patiently, and then saw her raise her eyes to look at him, inexplicably feeling a little more nervous.
Maybe she would be willing to take the initiative to communicate with others, rather than him saying one sentence and her answering one sentence?
That would be better.
Ye Mu naturally followed the steps he gave him and said, "I...I'll tell you."
Song Yanzhou nodded and waited for her to speak.
Ye Mu said: "I modified the electric fan.... You opened the door that day and it fell. Then yesterday afternoon, I found something in your cabinet and dismantled the electric fan."
"Then... it was changed. After the change, the wind can be cooler, and the energy can be used more fully, without wasting electricity. What do you think?"
Song Yanzhou found that when she talked about other things, she was still thinking while speaking, but when it came to the modification of the electric fan, she could express her ideas very fluently.
It was almost identical to the fluent expression she had put in the letter.
Since she asked for his opinion, Song Yanzhou thought carefully before saying:
"I think it's great, and it's very comfortable to use. You speak very well, and your language organization is excellent. If you want, you can communicate more with people other than me."
Song Yanzhou observed Ye Mu's expression carefully, as if waiting for Ye Mu's answer. Ye Mu agreed with his patient and persuasive approach.
She pretended to think for a while, then spoke hesitantly: "Someone came to our house before... they were a bit fierce."
"It's hard to talk to, unlike you."
What she meant was that Song Yanzhou was easier to talk to, so she talked more to him.
Song Yanzhou couldn't help wanting to laugh, he raised his hand and rubbed her head and said:
"Sometimes I'm not easy to talk to either, but if it's you, I should be able to talk to you."
Although it hasn't been long, accommodating her has become a habit and cognition.
Then he added:
"If you don't want to interact with the military wives who came to our house before, then don't do that. There are other military wives you can interact with slowly in the future. If you are willing to interact with them, just take some of the things you bought in the cabinet with you. I don't know if you have ever heard of the saying that people who eat people's food are grateful for their kindness. You can shut up their mouths with a little bit of something."
Seeing that Ye Mu was still a little hesitant, but seemed to be somewhat interested, Song Yanzhou said:
"Don't be afraid. It's not that scary to interact with people. Unimportant people can just be a connection. Important people... like us?"
He paused at this point.
He subconsciously raised his eyes to meet those clear eyes with distinct black and white, then avoided them and said:
“Only important people need to maintain relationships. Unimportant people are just casual acquaintances and don’t require you to spend any effort on them.”
Ye Mu nodded and said, "Well...I understand."
Song Yanzhou was a little surprised that she would respond. She was usually too silent.
Could it be that after spending the past few days with Political Commissar Sun’s children, his personality has become more relaxed?
"Ye Mu, if you prefer to get along with children, you can also take the candy and play with them."
"Just do it the way you like."
“Do whatever you like.”
Song Yanzhou softened his voice a little, not like an ordinary statement, but more like a promise to her:
"As long as you are by my side, you can do whatever you want. As for the rest, I can help you solve it. If I can't solve it, I can also block it for you."
This sounds so nice, but Ye Mu only believes half of it. She never puts her hopes on others, nor does she rely too much on others. She herself is her own hope and the most solid backing.
But she nodded to Song Yanzhou's promise: "Okay. ... Thank you."
It was the first time that Song Yanzhou heard her say thank you, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up a little, and he said:
"You're welcome, we are..." husband and wife.
He stopped talking halfway when he felt something was wrong. Then he changed the subject and asked Ye Mu:
"What did you do with the half box of spare parts I brought from Mr. Xu? If you are really interested, I will take you to see Mr. Xu again this week. He has a lot of books related to machines. Do you want to read them?"
"You can now repair the fan by yourself, which means you are self-taught. Ye Mu, can I ask how you learned it?"
Ye Mu had already prepared his words, and then he lowered his head and pretended to think for a moment before saying to Song Yanzhou:
"Before, they were the spies you mentioned. They gave me some paper with drawings on it, and I read it. They also worked in the factory and sometimes mentioned the machines in the factory. There were also a few books at home."
"I've read them all. I also read them last time in Mr. Xu's room. And your book."
"After watching a lot, you will gradually get it."
Song Yanzhou: “…”
Is this true? He also saw it, so why didn’t he learn it immediately?
The key point is that she succeeded in modifying it directly. If she accidentally broke the electric fan and then had to try a few more times before she learned how to do it, that would be quite normal, right?
After all, what is possible without mistakes?
But she just...can do it?
It's as simple as eating and drinking water.
Song Yanzhou felt the gap between people.
Maybe one day he would look up to this petite-looking person in front of him, even if she still carried a stigma now.
He suddenly felt that there was an endless gap between him and the person in front of him. She was very far away from him, so far that he could only look at her from afar.
He was at a loss for a moment, and then an idea came to his mind that he had to be even better in order to live up to his promise and make a fortune.
To better protect her.
Thinking back to the present, Song Yanzhou had no way of doubting her words, as the irrefutable facts were right before him.
He thought for a moment and said, "You are very capable, do you have any other ideas?"
Ye Mu turned around and went to his room to take out the extremely simple sweeping machine and placed it in front of Song Yanzhou.
