Ouyang was well aware of Ningning's deep love for planting, so he said, "Why don't we train Ningning well? After all, he really loves planting!"

Xia Ruoan was at a loss for words when she heard this. After a brief hesitation, she slowly replied, "Actually, I've considered this before, but you have to understand Ningning's unique physique."

"No matter what kind of plants he planted, they all died in the end. Every time I saw this, I didn't even know how to comfort his broken heart."

As he spoke, Xia Ruoan moved to the balcony and looked at the twinkling lights in the distance.

"Ningning's love for those plants is simply passionate, but precisely because of this, I feel even more helpless in the face of this situation."

Xia Ruoan sighed softly and continued, "Every time, I would watch him happily bury the seeds in the soil, and then carefully care for them in the following days, looking forward to witnessing these little lives thrive."

"Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. Often, before long, those plants that should have been thriving will gradually wither and die."

"Honestly, if Ningning wasn't naturally optimistic and open-minded, with a positive attitude, I'd have worried that he would be devastated and wouldn't have the courage to try to grow anything again."

After saying this, Xia Ruoan's face showed a trace of deep helplessness.

Ouyang listened quietly to Xia Ruoan's story, and a feeling of powerlessness also surged in his heart.

Not only did he know all about Ningning's strange "planting curse", but he had also witnessed it many times with his own eyes.

Although this phenomenon is indeed incredible, the facts are before us - no matter how hard Ning Ning tries, it seems that he cannot change the fate of the plants he grows, which are doomed to die.

"Didn't you say we should try growing cacti? Then let's give it a try!" Ouyang nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with the suggestion. He then continued, "I remember that the teacher has a friend who specializes in growing cacti in desert areas."

"When I mentioned this to my teacher, my friend readily agreed to help find a suitable cactus variety for Ningning. With his years of experience and expertise, I think the cacti he chooses will be very easy to grow and will last a long time without withering easily."

Ouyang looked at Ningning with anticipation, and secretly thought in his heart that he must help the little guy realize this little wish.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan frowned and asked doubtfully, "Have you been teaching Ningning how to grow roses recently? I've noticed that Ningning knows a lot about the various habits of roses. I'm afraid that apart from you, no one else would tell him so much about roses."

"But... didn't you decide to give up growing roses before? Why are you talking about this with Ningning now? Did Ningning take the initiative to ask you about this?"

Seeing Ouyang remained silent, Xia Ruoan continued to ask, "If you really don't want to talk about this, I'll go tell Ningning later and ask him not to bother you again in the future."

"After all, I'm also worried that this will bring back those unpleasant memories of yours." After saying that, she sighed softly, her eyes falling on Ouyang with concern.

However, when Ouyang heard Xia Ruoan say, "You are too indulgent to Ningning," he was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Ningning told you?" Ouyang recalled that he had patiently taught Ningning various knowledge and theories about rose cultivation. Not only that, he even personally took Ningning to practice planting roses.

Sadly, however, no matter how hard they tried, the roses could not survive. Even the fully grown rose plants they bought from outside could not escape the fate of dying in Ningning's hands.

"The teacher said that Ningning knows a lot about the habits of roses." After hearing this, if Xia Ruoan knew the inside story in advance, she would definitely not allow Ningning to ask Ouyang for advice.

Because ever since Sister Ling'er left, Ouyang has avoided anything related to roses, let alone planting roses himself.

"Ningning actually wants to plant roses for you! He said your birthday is coming soon, so he really wants to plant roses as a gift for you."

You know, the love symbolized by roses has always been so passionate and intense.

I really don't know where this child heard that roses can represent deep love, so he vowed that he loves his mother very much, and insisted on using the roses he planted with his own hands to express this deep affection to you.

However, he has not been successful so far. None of the roses he carefully selected from the flower and bird market survived.

Whenever Ouyang thought of Ningning's extremely disappointed look, he couldn't help but have the idea of helping him with planting, but Ningning politely declined every time.

"Ruoan, let's not put too much pressure on Ningning! After all, he is just a child. Besides, being able to wither plants might be his unique 'ability'!" Ouyang said seriously.

In fact, Xia Ruoan mostly adopts a relatively relaxed and free educational approach towards her children. She does not force her children to do anything.

The same is true for Leng Zexi. He never rushes to plan the future life path for his children.

As for what direction these children want to choose in life in the future, as long as it is something they truly like and there are no safety risks, as parents they will express their support and encouragement without hesitation.

"Sui Sui and Niannian had participated in planting activities with Ning Ning before, but when the three of them compared their respective gardens, the difference was clear at a glance!

Suisui and Nian Nian don't seem to be very interested in matters related to the fields, and basically regard it as a game.

But Ningning is completely different. He takes this matter very seriously. You can see that deep down in his heart he sincerely hopes that the seeds he has sown with his own hands will sprout, take root, and grow vigorously.

"But the results are often the opposite. Year after year, the plants that were planted carelessly and not carefully cared for survived, but Ningning put so much thought into it, but in the end, she got nothing. It breaks my heart to see that."
