Zhou Wen maintained a smile as though he didn't care what Zhang Yuzhi said.
In fact, Zhou Wen basically didn't hear what Zhang Yuzhi said. Along the way, he had been trying to get used to the Heaven and Earth sounds that Truth Listener gave him.
However, it was just too difficult. Ignoring the fact that he could receive all the sounds, Zhou Wen could only occasionally hear the correct channel for the voice in front of him.
When he listened to Zhang Yuzhi's words, he basically listened and guessed. The remaining 10% relied on blind guesses. That was why he kept doing the wrong things Zhang Yuzhi asked him to do.
Otherwise, with his control over his strength, he wouldn't have made so many mistakes even if he didn't know how to plant flowers.
Zhou Wen originally imagined that Zhang Yuzhi would be angry at his actions. After all, it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into this garden. Every blade of grass and tree looked ordinary, but they were actually carefully selected.
However, although Zhang Yuzhi kept nagging at Zhou Wen, she wasn't really angry. Instead, she patiently told Zhou Wen what to do.
However, as Zhou Wen was basically listening and guessing, he couldn't understand half of it. Therefore, he appeared very clumsy. Often, Zhang Yuzhi repeated it several times, but Zhou Wen still couldn't figure out the situation.
Zhang Yuzhi wasn't in a hurry either. She seemed to treat teaching the stupid Zhou Wen how to plant flowers and nagging as a form of pleasure.
Zhou Wen wasn't in a hurry. After all, he had to practice adapting to the powers that Truth Listener gave him. However, it made him feel a little embarrassed that he kept doing things that didn't match up.
That day, Zhou Wen didn't do anything other than helping Zhang Yuzhi destroy the garden.
No, it should be said that he destroyed the garden. Zhou Wen didn't quite understand. He had made many mistakes, such as watering the roots with water that was supposed to be watered on the leaves. Although it wasn't a big deal, the many mistakes made the originally perfect and exquisite garden lose its flavor.
Zhang Yuzhi knew this, but she refused to do it herself. She continued instructing Zhou Wen.
Only when the sun set did Zhang Chunqiu call them for dinner. Only then did Zhang Yuzhi let Zhou Wen off.
Although Zhou Wen had been listening more than speaking, Zhang Chunqiu and Zhang Yuzhi were extremely smart people. They could naturally tell that there was something wrong with Zhou Wen's hearing.
However, since Zhou Wen didn't say anything, they didn't ask. They continued chatting with him with a smile. Even if Zhou Wen's answers didn't match up, they could still continue chatting as though they hadn't discovered his abnormality.
It's getting late. It's time I bid you farewell. After the meal, Zhou Wen planned on returning to Luoyang.
"No way, I haven't even finished the work in the garden, and you're leaving just like that? Isn't that giving up halfway? "Zhang Yuzhi glared at him.
Even though Zhou Wen didn't hear what Zhang Yuzhi said, he could tell what she had said from her expression.
Zhou Wen realized that not being able to hear what the other party was saying wasn't necessarily a bad thing at times. Someone said that closing one's eyes and listening to the world would allow one to discover many beautiful things that had been neglected in the past.
In fact, it was the same the other way around. Without sound, one would not be able to hear the other party's language. Without the modifiers of words, one would be able to discover many things that would have been difficult to discover in the past.
"I didn't know human expressions and body language were so interesting." Zhou Wen realized that it was very easy for him to ignore the other party's emotions in the past. He would only judge the other party's thoughts from their words.
But now, he realized that most of the time, words could lie, but the emotions reflected by body language could not.
During the period when he couldn't hear what the other party was saying, his ability to read body language rapidly improved.
"I can't stay here forever to help you take care of the garden, right?" Zhou Wen said.
Being able to read a person's emotions didn't mean that Zhou Wen had a high EQ. In fact, reading comprehension and instinctive reaction were two different things.
"At the very least, you have to fix the parts you destroyed, right?" Zhang Yuzhi said.
When Zhou Wen heard this, he thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. He was clearly here to help, but he had left the garden in such a state. It wasn't good.
"Alright, let's continue tomorrow." Zhou Wen thought to himself that he had roughly learned the habits of the flowers and plants today. It wouldn't take long for him to finish the task tomorrow.
Zhang Yuzhi's health didn't seem to be very good. After the meal, Zhang Chunqiu got someone to send her back to rest.
"Don't think of running away shamelessly." Before leaving, Zhang Yuzhi turned her head and teased Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen didn't hear what she was saying, nor could he guess what she meant from her expression. All he could do was respond with a smile.
Zhang Yuzhi giggled, then turned around and left.
Zhou Wen was helpless. He didn't know what Zhang Yuzhi was saying, much less why she was laughing. He felt like a fool.
"I'll take you to your guest room." After Zhang Chunqiu brought Zhou Wen to the guest room, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he sat down at the table.
Zhang Chunqiu reached out his index finger and dipped it in the teacup. He wrote, "Zhou Wen, do you need help?"
"Thank you. I'm fine. I'll recover in a while." Zhou Wen wasn't surprised. It would be strange if Zhang Chunqiu couldn't tell.
"I do have something that I need your help with," Zhang Chunqiu wrote seriously.
"Is the situation in the Fiend Tomb very bad?" Zhou Wen was alarmed as he hurriedly asked.
Zhang Chunqiu shook his head and wrote, "I hope you can stay in the Zhang family for four more days."
"Why?" Zhou Wen looked at Zhang Chunqiu in puzzlement. He wanted him to stay, but he didn't say what he wanted him to do. This puzzled Zhou Wen.
"Help me protect my little sister for the next four days." The little sister Zhang Chunqiu mentioned was Zhang Yuzhi.
As Zhang Yuzhi was the only female in the Zhang family's generation, Zhang Chunqiu and company were used to calling her little sister.
"Yuzhi is in danger?" Zhou Wen's expression turned solemn.
Zhang Chunqiu nodded. "There's something wrong with the Zhang family. I'm afraid that someone will harm my sister. You should understand that it's not convenient for me to use my own family at such a time."
"Four days. No problem." Zhou Wen thought for a moment. If that was the case, it shouldn't be difficult.
Although the Zhang family was powerful, they didn't have a Calamity-grade expert. It shouldn't be too difficult to protect Zhang Yuzhi.
"Thank you." Zhang Chunqiu said the word with his mouth.
Zhou Wen happened to hear this and shook his head. "Yuzhi is my friend. She once saved me. This is what I should do."
Zhang Chunqiu didn't say anything else. He smiled at Zhou Wen and got up to leave his room.
After Zhang Chunqiu left the courtyard, Zhang Xiao walked over and asked in puzzlement, "Why did you make Zhou Wen stay at such a time?"
"My sister has sacrificed too much for the Zhang family in her life. She doesn't even have a normal friend. Since she's happy, let Zhou Wen stay with her for a few days," Zhang Chunqiu said with a sigh.
"That punk, Zhou Wen, is a fool. Since you want to make my sister happy, you should tell him about it and get him to do his best to please her. Otherwise, with Zhou Wen's personality, he will only make her unhappy," Zhang Xiao said.
"Are you questioning my sister's intelligence, or do you think she's the kind of person who will happily accept pity?" Zhang Chunqiu glanced coldly at Zhang Xiao.
