Two days passed quickly. In the morning, Xia Zhishu was packing his things when Lin Yue came over and placed a few boxes in front of him. "I packed some pastries. If Yinyin and Yuanxiao want to eat them on the way, just take them out."

Xia Zhishu smiled as she put the box into a bag. "How could I let them go hungry?"

At this moment, Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin stood in front of the bed, carrying large and small bags. Xia Rongliu had brought everything she could, and Xia Zhanxin's small bag was also full of her own things.

"Sister, we're just visiting the park, not going on a tour," Xia Zhanxin kindly reminded her. "Will we be able to bring all these things with us?"

"What do you know? I'm just being careful to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. What if something unexpected happens? I'm doing this for our mutual benefit." Xia Rongliu wouldn't listen. She wasn't afraid of trouble because she herself was a huge problem.

Xia Zhanxin closed her eyes helplessly, mercilessly exposing Xia Rongliu's lie: "Sister, I don't know what kind of emergency requires me to bring a comb, a mirror, a dress..."

Xia Rongliu gave an awkward smile, then cupped Xia Zhanxin's little face in her hands. "Of course it was due to my unexpected situation, what else could it be? Besides, children shouldn't think so much, okay?"

“Sister, you’re a child too,” Xia Zhanxin retorted.

"Hehe, then I'm older than you too."

"Are you ready? It's time to go." Xia Zhishu asked as she pushed open the door, only to find the house full of bags and packages, as if they were about to run away from home.

"Yinyin, what are you doing? We're just going to visit a park. Are you moving?" Xia Zhishu was stunned. Could she really bring all this stuff?

"I want to look beautiful too~" Xia Rongliu cupped her face in her hands and blinked.

“But we might die of exhaustion on the way before we even get to the courtyard.” Xia Zhishu went up and opened the small bag.

"Sigh, let me tell you, you can't bring any of these." Xia Zhishu picked out the things, put them on the bed, and then slung the bag over Xia Rongliu's shoulder again. "Isn't this great?"

Xia Rongliu knew she had brought too much stuff, so she didn't say anything. She originally thought that she would bring the things Xia Zhishu had picked out if she could, and forget about the things she couldn't bring.

"Yuanxiao, is there anything you want to bring?" Xia Zhishu asked Xia Zhanxin, who didn't have a bag or anything on her.

"I don't have anything I want to bring." If it's possible, I'd be happy if my sister could take me along.

"Alright, let's set off then. We still need to go to the school to take care of those little ones." Xia Zhishu calculated the time. "Let's go, let's get there early."

When they arrived at the school, several students were already there waiting. Xia Zhishu walked to the door and said, "Why don't you usually arrive this early? You're all very eager now."

“Master, I’m afraid you’ll leave if I arrive late, and I’ll be so sad.” A student feigned sadness.

"Why aren't you afraid of coming home late and leaving school early?"

"Hehe, that's perfect, then I don't need to come." The student said with a grin.

Xia Zhishu smacked him on the head. "Really, you're slacking off."

Those who had arrived gathered at the entrance and waited. After a short while, Master Zhang came over and said, "Oh my, the students are all here so early today?"

“Yes, the students have all realized this, but you, the teacher, still arrive almost at the appointed time,” Xia Rongliu said. “Teacher Zhang, you need to seriously reflect on yourself.”

"What are you talking about? I'm not late. Do you think these students are here so early to study? They're just going to play." Master Zhang was unconvinced. The thought of taking these students on a day trip gave him a headache.

They don't listen when they sit in the classroom; they want to run and jump outside. That would cause chaos!

"Alright, Master Zhang, we all know you despise us, but there's nothing we can do. You can't escape today, hahahahahaha." Sun Zhu said sarcastically, then burst into laughter.

Master Zhang's face darkened. "Go away, what else do you want? You're one of the ones who always cause trouble."

Sun Zhu stopped arguing with Master Zhang and turned to look at the road. There were two figures not far away. Sun Zhu raised his hand and called out to them, "Brother Bai, Bai Mingxuan!"

Bai Mingyu led Bai Mingxuan toward the door. "Why are you here so early? I thought we were early, but it turns out half the people are already here."

"If you want to play, of course you should come early."

Xia Zhishu suddenly spoke up from the side, "Have your groups been divided yet? I haven't asked you these past two days, but the other groups haven't been divided yet."

"It's all sorted out. Sister Xia, Xia Zhanxin, Brother Bai, Bai Mingxuan, and I are in one group," Sun Zhu said, counting on her fingers.

"Xia Rongliu?" Master Zhang asked in confusion, "Xia Rongliu isn't a student. How come there are twenty-one people in total, yet they're divided into four groups?"

"Did you eat your memory too? Isn't there someone among the trainees who never comes? We'd forget about him if we didn't do a count." Xia Zhishu said, "Why don't we just let Yinyin take his place? That'll be just enough for everyone."

"Oh, right, this kid has only come a few times. Well, alright, let Xia Rongliu take his place." Master Zhang slapped his forehead.

Xia Rongliu tilted her head to the side, wondering what would happen if that kid came today. She had never seen him before, and no one in the class knew anything about him.

After a while, everyone arrived. Xia Zhishu gave a few instructions, and then one teacher led the way while another watched from behind.

And so the small team set off.

In front of the Pear Garden, children of all ages gathered at the garden gate, with two teachers standing out. Outside the garden was a red-painted wall, and two oak gates blocked the way in.

Outside the red wall, pear blossoms were falling, and the pear branches inside had grown out of the wall, with many pear blossoms scattered along the corner of the wall.

The white pear blossoms contrast sharply with the red painted walls, creating a scene that is both beautiful and melancholic.

A few pear blossoms drifted gently in the wind and landed on Xia Rongliu's hair, hanging askew, seemingly about to fall.

"Wow, they're growing so lushly! We can see them from outside." Xia Rongliu gazed at the pear blossoms on the red wall with a starry expression.

"I feel a little creeped out. Is Master sure he didn't send us on an adventure?" Sun Zhu hugged herself and leaned against Bai Mingyu.

Bai Mingxuan was naturally unhappy and pushed Sun Zhu, saying, "What are you doing! This is my brother, I want to hug him, you go upstairs."

"Don't be so stingy, let me hug you to soothe my fragile heart." Sun Zhu shook her head and acted spoiled.

"Aaaaaah, Sun Zhu, let go of me! Ahhaah, brother..."

"Hehehehehehe..."

Amidst the noise and commotion, Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin automatically separated themselves from the crowd, creating a world of their own. Xia Rongliu gazed at the pear blossoms, marveling at the beauty of nature.

Xia Zhanxin looked at Xia Rongliu. His sister was beautiful no matter what. A few petals fell unintentionally onto Xia Rongliu's head.
