Thinking that He Jinxuan used to be in the military, he surely kept in touch with his old comrades, so she understood Ye Silai's meaning: "Thank you, Sili."
Ye Silai waved his hand with a smile, "You're welcome."
He thoughtfully moved a nearby stool over for Yu Xinyan, "Sister, have a seat."
After speaking, he didn't disturb Yu Xinyan any longer and ran back to the bed to continue reading the little picture book he was reading before. Yu Xinyan glanced at him, "Sili, can you understand the words on it?"
Ye Silai nodded, then shook his head, "I know some, but most I don't. My mom used to teach me some, but after she was gone, nobody taught me anymore."
As he spoke, his mood turned low, probably because he was thinking of his mom.
Yu Xinyan wished she could slap herself for asking such a question: "If you want, sister can take some time to teach you to read."
Ye Silai looked up, his eyes immediately brightening, "Really?"
Seeing him like this, Yu Xinyan said, "Of course."
