Chapter 43: Representative Significance
Wen Wan was also somewhat surprised by Jinmu's reaction.
"Why, he didn't read my letter carefully?"
Kaneki: “…”
This question was difficult for him to answer.
You did read it, but you probably didn’t understand it. The reason might be that your handwriting is so bad that it’s hard to tell whether it’s human or ghost?
Jinmu is simple-minded, but definitely not stupid. It is better to leave this kind of unpleasant question to the general to communicate with Miss Xiaowan himself.
Wen Wan: "Forget it, I originally thought that this matter should be discussed in person, but your captain's whereabouts are so secretive that even the mute woman and the others don't know, so we can only communicate by carrier pigeon."
She didn't ask any further questions about reading the letter, and Kaneki secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The captain spends most of his time in the barracks, where no one is allowed to enter, so it's inconvenient to contact him."
Jin Mu dealt with it vaguely, and then asked, "Miss Xiaowan, do you want to see the captain?"
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment, "If possible, it would be better to meet him. I have something to say to him."

Jin Mu went back and told Shen Yu what Wen Wan meant.
After Shen Yu heard this, there was nothing strange on his face. After a long time, he said, "If she wants to move out, then let her move out."
Jin Mu looked over in confusion, "It's probably not safe for Miss Xiaowan to live outside alone. If something happens, it will be difficult for us to find such a powerful Feng Shui master again."
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, "Who said she lives alone?"
Kaneki suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, and that weird boy Winn."
"That boy's strength is beyond ordinary people, but you have tried it yourself, he really does not know martial arts. If those people find Miss Xiaowan, he will definitely not be able to protect her."
Shen Yu sneered, "It's not necessary to rely on a brat to protect her."
Kaneki: "So what do you mean?"
Shen Yu: "I remember I had two courtyards next to each other on South Street."
Jin Mu thought about it carefully, "Yes, those two courtyards are too small to accommodate a large group of people, so they moved the mute woman and the others to the side courtyard, leaving the two rooms empty."
Shen Yu ordered, "Take her to the courtyard on South Street, I'll meet her there."

Wen Wan had never expected that Jin Mu's efficiency would be so high. Not only did he help her make an appointment with Chen Yu, he even found a courtyard for her.
Jinmu took her to the place in a carriage.
"This yard is a little small, but it's more than enough for the two of you."
"After you've settled in, I'll pick up Mummy and the others to help you celebrate your new home."
Jin Mu led Wen Wan into the courtyard and introduced them as they walked, "The courtyard belongs to Captain Zhou. You can pay any rent you want. Just a token of your appreciation will do."
The yard is indeed not big, but it is exquisite.
There is a main room, two side rooms and a study. There is a pomegranate tree in the yard and a small stone table under the tree, which adds a unique charm.
Wen Wan was very satisfied with this yard. "It's just right for us two siblings."
Her eyes fell on a round archway in the middle of the yard, which was locked with an iron lock.
"Is there a yard opposite?" Wen Wan asked curiously.
Jinmu replied: "Well, these two courtyards originally belonged to the same owner, so an archway was opened in the middle for convenient living. It is usually locked, so it's not a big deal."
"Oh." Wen Wan didn't care much about these details. "By the way, where is Captain Zhou? Didn't you say we'd meet here?"
Kaneki was prepared. He strode to the archway and knocked on the door.
After a while, a servant appeared opposite the archway and took the key to open the iron lock.
The archway opened, and Wen Wan finally saw Shen Yu sitting in a wheelchair.
Wen Wan: “…”
She curled her lips, walked over and asked Shen Yu: "Don't tell me, you live here?"
Shen Yu's expression remained unchanged, "I just came back to recuperate after being injured these days, and I usually don't stay here."
Wen Wan was at a loss for words. Her eyes fell on the iron lock on the archway, and she seemed to be hesitating about something.
Chen Yu: "By the way, although the two courtyards are connected, you'd better not come here casually. It's not that I don't trust you, after all... there are differences between men and women, and people's words are scary."
Wen Wan: “…”
Shamelessly, he got there first and said what she wanted to say.
Shen Yu didn't care about her expression at all and continued, "What do you want from me?"
Wen Wan glanced at Jin Mu. Jin Mu was a sensible man. He found an excuse and left, taking Shen Yu's servant with him.
Only Wen Wan and Shen Yu were left in the yard.
She cleared her throat and took out a small brocade box from her arms.
"For you."
Shen Yu didn't answer, his tone was very flat, "What is this for?"
Wen Wan licked her dry lips and after adjusting her mentality with great effort, she said, "I know you didn't really mean to hurt Wen En. You were just testing him, so I shouldn't have scolded you without listening to your explanation."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu looked up in shock, surprised at her frankness.
I was also shocked by her calmness and intelligence.
After she calmed down, she was able to see the truth of the matter.
Wen Wan didn't know that at this moment, ripples could not help but appear in Chen Yu's heart.
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't have the opportunity to explain to her at that time, he just didn't want to speak.
In his heart, he even had a malicious thought.
He wanted to try and see if this woman was as calm and intelligent as he expected.
Being in a high position, he faces too many intrigues and will experience countless conspiracies and plots.
In these events, if you make judgments based solely on emotions, you will only become a tool for others to use.
So he remained silent at that time, and faced Wen Wan's misunderstanding, he didn't say a word.
Fortunately, this was a test.
He won.
The corners of Shen Yu's mouth lifted, and even his eyebrows softened a little.
He took the brocade box, opened it and saw the jade ring inside.
To be honest, any item of this quality in his warehouse would be better than this one, but strangely, he actually found this ring extremely pleasing to the eye.
He picked it up and handed it to Wen Wan, "Put it on me."
Wen Wan: “?”
Shen Yu frowned, "Giving gifts is so insincere?"
"Oh." Wen Wan pursed her lips and muttered to herself, "I need help to put on a ring. How difficult it is to please someone."
He was sitting in a wheelchair, and it was inconvenient for her to put the ring on him while standing, so she simply squatted in front of him, held his wrist with one hand, and took the ring with the other hand to prepare to put it on him.
Suddenly, Wen Wan's expression froze.
She felt something was wrong. She hadn't noticed it before, but now she remembered it.
Wen Wan cleared her throat awkwardly, "Well, you should wear it yourself."
Chen Yu was dissatisfied, his face darkened, "Since you are not happy about it, I think it's better not to have this ring."
Wen Wan scratched her hair irritably, "Brother, do you know what it means when a man and a woman put a ring on each other in our hometown?"
Shen Yu: "What does it represent?"
Wen Wan held her forehead helplessly, "It represents a commitment! Only after we confirm our relationship as a couple will we put a ring on each other!"
