Xia Zhanxin just smiled and didn't say anything, but Xia Rongliu read something else in her eyes. Xia Rongliu pouted guiltily. Don't be fooled by her lively personality; she's actually terrible at physical exercise.

The Xia family's home was neither far nor near the school, but even this short distance took Xia Rongliu twice as long as a normal person to walk together.

Therefore, they usually leave home early.

Fortunately, Xia Zhanxin was always there with him, otherwise Xia Zhishu probably wouldn't have been able to eat lunch all day. Xia Zhanxin would just stand by and watch over him, waiting for Xia Rongliu to rest before they left together.

Xia Rongliu stood up and stopped a few steps away from the school. She smiled and watched as Xia Rongliu made a waving goodbye gesture.

Xia Rongliu stopped and took his hand. "Let's go together this time. Don't worry, with me here, they won't do anything to you again."

After a moment's hesitation, Xia Zhanxin decided to go with Xia Rongliu.

Over the past month, Xia Rongliu would often bring Xia Zhishu meals, but not every day. Except for the first time when Xia Zhanxin accompanied Xia Rongliu inside, Xia Zhanxin would only drop Xia Rongliu off at a place not far from the entrance.

As soon as the two entered, they were surrounded by a group of elementary school students. Xia Zhanxin subconsciously stood behind Xia Rongliu.

"Sister Xia, you always come so late, there's never enough time to play with you~"

"Hehe, I'm not very physically fit, so I walk rather slowly."

"Little Xia, if you're tired, I can pick you up next time."

"Haha, no need, it's not that far."

"Little Xia, you're wearing a new dress today, it looks so pretty."

"Sister Xia looks good in anything!"

"Xia sister~" "Xia sister~" "Xia sister~" "Xia sister~" Xia Zhanxin, who was completely ignored, stood behind Xia Rongliu with a black line on her face. Hearing Xia sister being called again and again, Xia sister felt very annoyed.

He had never known that Xia Rongliu was so popular at school, and the thought of not having participated before made him feel like he could hardly breathe.

Clearly, everyone around him regarded him as a junior disciple of the academy, because he was standing behind Xia Rongliu and his face was blocked. People in front of him could not see him, and those behind him could only see his back.

Finally… an old teacher’s voice came, strong and authoritative: “Class is starting, the last class, don’t slack off, hurry up and get to work.”

As the students around dispersed, one of the older students said to Xia Rongliu before leaving, "Little Xia, I'll come find you after class. Wait for me."

Xia Rongliu nodded, offering a forced smile as she saw him off. She then turned to look for Xia Zhanxin, who stood obediently behind her, her face dark and sullen.

"It's alright, they're just very enthusiastic. What happened last time was an accident, and we've already returned it, haven't we?" Xia Rongliu thought Xia Zhanxin was still bothered by what happened last time.

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhanxin didn't react. Instead, she stepped forward and stared directly at her. "Have they always been like this?"

Xia Rongliu didn't know why Xia Zhanxin was asking this, but she still nodded truthfully, "Yes, they've always been like this. Every time I come, I'm in the dominant position and enjoy so much. I told you to come earlier, but you didn't."

Seeing Xia Zhanxin's even more gloomy face after saying that, Xia Rongliu couldn't keep up her smile. "What's wrong? Didn't you come in today? Wait until get out of class is over..."

"Is your sister enjoying it?" Xia Rongliu was interrupted by Xia Zhanxin before she could finish speaking, and Xia Zhanxin questioned Xia Rongliu.

Xia Rongliu sensed something was wrong. Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw Xia Zhanxin's increasingly aggrieved expression. Her gloom turned into aggrievedness, which Xia Rongliu found unbearable.

"No, what's wrong? Tell me what's wrong, okay?" Xia Rongliu's tone softened immediately, and she lowered her voice.

"So it turns out that every time my sister comes here, she just comes to enjoy herself and play with them, and she doesn't want me anymore, leaving me at home," Xia Zhanxin said, feeling wronged.

As expected, Xia Rongliu hurriedly coaxed him, "No, no, I don't want you."

"Will you leave me behind in the future?" Xia Zhanxin stared at Xia Rongliu with bright eyes. Xia Rongliu naturally went along with Xia Zhanxin and said, "No, no, I'll take you wherever I go in the future."

"Really?"

"Really, how could I possibly leave you? You're the cutest." Xia Rongliu said, and then saw Xia Zhanxin smile, though she still felt something was off.

Xia Rongliu led Xia Zhanxin to listen to the lesson outside the window, and while listening, she asked Xia Zhanxin, "Do you want to learn to write?"

She knows quite a lot, and she's more than capable of teaching Xia Zhanxin.

Xia Zhanxin was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Xia Rongliu didn't know where to start teaching, so she asked him, "What characters do you want to learn? Hmm... or how to write your name?"

"Yinyin—" Xia Rongliu didn't react when she heard Xia Zhanxin call her by her childhood name. Xia Zhanxin realized what was going on after she finished speaking and continued softly, "I want to write your name."

Xia Rongliu's lips twitched. Perhaps he had never heard her real name before and always called her Yinyin, so he assumed her name was Xia Yinyin.

"Yinyin is my childhood name, my full name is Xia Rongliu." Xia Rongliu picked up a stick and wrote the three characters Xia Rongliu on the muddy ground.

Xia Zhanxin realized what was happening and looked at the three words carefully. After a while, she said, "I want to write them all."

Then he picked up a stick from the ground and copied the words Xia Rongliu had written next to them. His writing was crooked and not as neat as Xia Rongliu's.

"Then I'll teach you, first a vertical line, then a horizontal line..." The sound of reading aloud came from the school. Under the big tree outside the small window, two delicate-looking children were squatting and writing characters in the mud.

After one lesson, Xia Rongliu discovered that Xia Zhanxin's talent was terrifyingly good. She didn't seem like someone who was learning to read and write for the first time. It's just that her handwriting was a bit ugly, with the immaturity of a child.

get out of class was over, and the students poured out of the classroom.

"Little Sister Xia—" "Big Sister Xia—" Xia Rongliu is very popular here. She is the only little girl in the school, which is full of boys.

The students greeted Xia Rongliu and noticed another person next to her who was also very good-looking. This was the most frustrating moment for Xia Zhanxin.

"Sister Xia, please come earlier next time. I can't play with you anymore because I have to go back after class."

"There's still the afternoon. Look, your mother is here to pick you up." Considering that Xia Rongliu, the little rascal, hadn't said she would come earlier, if Xia Zhanxin didn't come with her, her arriving earlier would mean that the time Xia Zhanxin would spend with her would be shorter.

After school, the students, except for a few at noon, would go back to eat and then come back in the afternoon. The teachers, on the other hand, ate in the school, partly to look after the few students who stayed behind, and partly to organize their lesson plans and wait for the students to come to class in the afternoon.
