Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

Bai Mingxuan still felt more sorry for his brother. "You can't torture my brother like this. He carried you on his back. If you want to eat pastries, we'll give them to you too."

Xia Rongliu nodded. "Yes, half a lemon would be sour for a whole day."

Sun Zhu lowered his head and didn't speak. He knew he was wrong, but he was still encouraged. He envied Xia Zhanxin and Bai Mingxuan. One had a sister who doted on him, and the other had a brother who protected him.

Unlike himself, who was bullied by his sister, who particularly disliked him, as if his mere presence in front of her was a stain.

In the end, unable to resist her conscience, Sun Zhu whispered, "I'm sorry."

Unlike when she was being chased and it was easy to apologize, Sun Zhu's face was flushed red at this moment. The mistakes children make are basically childish and playful.

Moreover, Sun Zhu's mistake can hardly be considered a mistake.

"Brother Bai has been so good to you, and you don't even care about him after you've played a trick on him?" Xia Rongliu said. "Oh, right, and me too. Sun Zhu, you deserve to be taught a lesson."

Sun Zhu sighed, feeling a pang of guilt, as if the lard had clouded his mind.

Xia Rongliu also sighed. She had sighed countless times every day. "Let's go, come with me to find Brother Xia."

Sun Zhu went; otherwise, he would have felt guilty.

At this moment, Bai Mingyu was sitting next to Xia Zhishu, who was holding a water bottle. Bai Mingyu's face was not good; it was bluish-purple.

It's painful to look at, Xia Rongliu sighed. Is this the power of half a lemon? No wonder Bai Mingxuan was so angry.

Bai Mingyu supported himself on his knees with both hands, and for the first time, he had to lie face down and then sit up for a while, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Xia Rongliu pushed Sun Zhu forward a little, "Go on, we'll go with you."

Sun Zhu, who was initially nervous, now felt a bit more at ease. Thanks to his sister, he was the kind of person who didn't think much about the consequences when torturing others, and if he went too far, he wouldn't realize it for a while.

Sun Zhu stepped forward and said, "Brother Bai, I'm sorry..."

Bai Mingyu heard this, shook his head and didn't reply. He didn't blame Sun Zhu, he knew that, but he just couldn't stand the acid secretion in his mouth when he spoke, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Sun Zhu thought Bai Mingyu was ignoring him, so he said, "Brother Bai, don't be angry. I know I was wrong. How about... how about I eat half a lemon too?"

As Sun Zhu spoke, he went to get his bag. His sister had one good quality: she always prepared everything for him, though it wasn't anything good. There was still half a bag of lemons.

Sun Zhu stopped abruptly when his arm was grabbed. Bai Mingyu pulled him along, his face contorted into a smile that looked more like a grimace than a cry, his features contorted in pain.

Bai Mingyu shook his head and squeezed out a few words with difficulty, "No need, I don't... blame you."

Speaking was incredibly difficult. Bai Mingyu had always preferred sweets to sour ones, and eating half a lemon was practically the death of him.

Sun Zhu felt even more guilty, and grabbed Bai Mingyu's arm, shaking it, "Brother Bai, you really are the best."

So gentle, unlike the tigress at home who explodes at the slightest provocation, turning into a raging inferno.

Bai Mingxuan saw this and pushed Sun Zhu away, saying, "Alright, my brother doesn't blame you. You stay where you are. I don't want to see you."

"Alright." Sun Zhu wouldn't make a fool of herself at this time; Bai Mingxuan would definitely be angry.

Looking at Bai Mingyu's expression, Xia Rongliu recalled the taste of lemons and felt a bit of acid in her mouth. She tapped Bai Mingxuan on the head.

"You deserve a beating; you really are living up to your name right now."

"Huh? What?" Sun Zhu didn't understand.

Xia Rongliu smiled and uttered a few words, "Sun Zhu (Sun Wukong)."

Sun Zhu wasn't angry. What right did he have to be angry now? It really fit the current situation, didn't it? Sun Zhu felt somewhat dejected.

His emotions are always fluctuating like this, and most people who hang out with him eventually can't stand him anymore. He learned these pranks from his sister.

How many sources could there be?

Lunch was treated by Master Zhang to a meal outside, which made Master Zhang and Xia Zhishu feel quite distressed about their money.

As the afternoon approached, more and more people arrived, and the sun shone warmly. It wasn't the sweltering heat of summer or the frigid cold of winter; the sun simply shone down, its warm rays gently caressing the skin without being glaring or hot.

Xia Rongliu especially liked this kind of weather. She used to prefer summer because there were cool, chilled fruits, watermelon juice, and other things to drink.

But those are not drinks that ordinary people can afford. Now, Xia Rongliu prefers spring.

Everything seemed just right, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, and everything was relaxed and carefree.

After stretching, Xia Rongliu felt a bit sleepy and wanted to take a nap. She ran to Xia Zhishu's side and said, "Dad, I'm a little sleepy and want to go to sleep."

Xia Zhishu laughed heartily, "They get sleepy when they're having fun, and so do the others." Xia Zhishu pointed to a group of children who were about to collapse on the ground.

“You guys are just tired from playing. You were all so energetic at lunchtime when you were in school and you weren’t sleepy at all,” Xia Zhishu said.

"Hmph, all kids are like that. They'll be sleepy no matter how tired they are when they grow up. Cherish the present." Master Zhang's words weren't without basis, after all, he himself was one of them.

He's a typical example. When he was young, he could go to class all day long and still have plenty of energy. Now he can't. If he could skip class, he could stay home all the time.

"Alright, alright, there's a big house in this courtyard. Let's all go there and take a nap. Everyone's feeling drowsy." Xia Zhishu said.

After saying that, Xia Zhishu stood up and shouted to a certain 'group', "You bunch, yes, you, come here."

The little one obediently walked over and asked, "Master, is there anything I can help you with?"

"You all look so tired from playing that you want to sleep, don't you? Your little heads are practically drooping to the ground."

A child rubbed his eyes and said, "Master, how did you know? That's strange, I'm not usually like this."

Xia Zhishu found it amusing. "Of course we don't usually do this. We don't have enough fun for you normally. Come on, let's go take a nap. No running away, okay?"

After speaking, they began to organize the children and students, with Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin standing at the very front.

Xia Zhishu led them to a large side room, which was quite spacious, with many wooden beds and quilts on the floor.

"You can sleep here tonight. Master Zhang and I will guard the door. Don't wander off on your own, understand?" Xia Zhishu instructed.

"Okay," the children said in unison.

Then she started to choose her own bed. After she finished choosing, there were still many beds available, so Xia Rongliu naturally wanted to take a nap.

No exceptions could be made. Xia Rongliu slept on the innermost side, with Xia Zhanxin on the outside. Xia Zhanxin hadn't taken off her clothes either. Xia Zhanxin turned to the side to block Xia Rongliu, which, although not completely, covered most of her body.
