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

Xia Zhishu took the two children to the school. When they arrived, they saw Master Zhang packing his things to go to Li Mindan's place to fix the kitchen.

Xia Zhishu couldn't help but feel guilty. He had done all the cooking himself, yet Zhang Fuzi had to share the responsibility. It was really unfair to Zhang Fuzi.

However, the school couldn't be taught by Master Zhang alone, as their registration processes and content differed.

Master Zhang picked up his tools and saw the three of them standing at the door. He greeted them, "I'm leaving now, goodbye. I'll be back at noon."

The three nodded, and as they walked to the threshold, Master Zhang took a step back and carefully instructed, "Xia Zhishu, you must not go into the kitchen, don't go in. I'll come back and cook, do you hear me?"

Xia Zhishu felt awkward. Of course, he wouldn't go into the kitchen. He had already realized his problem: he had absolutely no talent in cooking, and he wouldn't force it anymore.

This is just too sad. Xia Zhishu said in perfect harmony, "I won't go in again." The sadness was palpable; saying more would only bring tears.

Master Zhang, still worried, told Xia Zhanxin and Xia Rongliu, "You two keep a close eye on your father. Don't let him go in. If he does, our school's kitchen will be ruined, understand?"

Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin nodded, especially Xia Zhanxin. The seriousness in her eyes put Zhang Fuzi at ease. Before leaving, she gave Xia Zhishu a meaningful look.

Xia Zhishu: ...Is it really necessary? He already knows he was wrong.

Afterwards, students arrived at the school one after another. Xia Zhishu waited at the door, and each student greeted the teacher as they entered.

After most of the people arrived, class began.

In the classroom, in the last row, Xia Zhanxin was writing, while Xia Rongliu sat beside her, gazing out the window. Xia Zhanxin would stop writing every now and then to look at Xia Rongliu, her eyes filled with melancholy.

His sister doesn't like looking at him anymore; she prefers to look out the window. What's so interesting outside the window? It's just the same old stuff.

Had his sister grown tired of looking at him? A wave of sadness washed over Xia Zhanxin. Xia Rongliu, however, remained oblivious.

It was springtime, the leaves outside were lush and the branches were in disarray, and the flowers were beginning to sprout small buds, making it look full of spring and vitality.

Xia Rongliu fiddled with a small strand of hair in front of her as she looked at the spring scenery before her and thought of the pitiful few plants in her own fenced yard.

With a sigh, Xia Rongliu had an idea: why not bring all the flowers here? She spends all her time at school, and there's no one at home to take care of them.

"That's settled then," Xia Rongliu thought, then smiled happily, looking forward to her days of tending flowers in the school. "It's so nice that there's a windowsill in front of me; I can put them there and see them whenever I turn my head."

Xia Rongliu turned around excitedly, wanting to share her good idea with Xia Zhanxin, but then she saw Xia Zhanxin's sad face, mixed with a bit of grievance.

Xia Rongliu was stunned and confused. What happened? She was fine when she arrived. Who bullied her this time?

"What's wrong? Yuanxiao? Who bullied you?" Why do you look so sad and aggrieved again?

Xia Zhanxin looked at Xia Rongliu with resentment. It was all because of his sister that she didn't like him as much anymore. "Sister, what are you looking at?"

"Huh? What are you looking at?" Xia Rongliu didn't react, and Xia Zhanxin felt even more aggrieved. "It's just outside the window."

To avoid making her intentions too obvious, Xia Zhanxin added, "You've been looking at me for so long without saying a word."

Xia Rongliu felt strange. He hadn't called her, nor was he ignoring her, but seeing Xia Zhanxin's aggrieved look, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.

"No, I was thinking about something."

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhanxin asked. Xia Rongliu's habit of always spacing out needed to be corrected.

Xia Rongliu gestured and said, "I want to move all the flower seedlings and other plants from our fenced yard here and put them on the windowsill so they're easier to take care of."

So that's what it is. Xia Zhanxin understood. Indeed, he hadn't touched the seedling much these past few days. He went to check on it this morning and found that the surrounding weeds had grown out.

"When are you planning to move, sister?" Xia Zhanxin asked, wanting to move with his sister.

Xia Rongliu had already made up her mind and blurted out, "Now, let's move now."

"Huh?" Xia Zhanxin was stunned. Now? He was still in class. "Sister, why now?"

“Since morning is already over, and it will take until evening when you get out of school, and I’m just an auditor anyway, it’s best to move now,” Xia Rongliu said.

"By the time I finish moving everything, you'll have finished about two classes. I'll rest for a bit more and then we can have dinner," Xia Rongliu said smugly. What a perfect time allocation!

Xia Zhanxin was dissatisfied. "Sister, can't you wait for me? I'll ask Dad for leave after class and move with you."

Xia Rongliu flatly refused, "No, no, no, you just stay here and listen to the lesson. I'll go get it. We're different, you know."

"Then, then it's very dangerous for you to be alone!" Xia Zhanxin was still unwilling to give up and tried to struggle, but was still rejected by Xia Rongliu.

Xia Rongliu tapped Xia Zhanxin's head. "Where would so much danger come from in broad daylight? You wish me well."

Xia Zhanxin still couldn't win against Xia Rongliu. Xia Rongliu herself was also puzzled as to why Xia Zhanxin was so persistent, as if she was afraid that Xia Zhanxin would run away.

When the first get out of class ended, Xia Rongliu found Xia Zhishu and spoke to him. Xia Zhishu frowned slightly.

"That's not good. It's too dangerous for you to be alone. You might get kidnapped without even knowing it."

"Didn't someone bring you food before?" Xia Rongliu said.

Little did Xia Zhishu know that she had already seen through it all and said, "Do you think I don't know? You always had Yuanxiao with you before. Do you think I didn't see it?"

"Then why are you so comfortable letting Yuanxiao go back alone? Yuanxiao is even younger than me." Xia Rongliu asked, "Xia Zhanxin has come and gone alone so many times without any accidents."

Xia Zhishu straightened his attitude: "First, he's a boy, not many people would have designs on him. Second, Yuanxiao is much more mature than you, and he's careful and meticulous in his work. Third, when Yuanxiao goes back, Master Zhang will see him off. What about you? Not only will you have to make several trips back and forth, but Master Zhang won't be there either. You can't do it."

"Why can't I do it? Is our home that far from here?" Xia Rongliu asked.

Xia Zhishu thought about it carefully and said, "It doesn't seem that far."

"Then I'll be there and back quickly, I won't delay, let me go, let me go." Xia Rongliu flicked Xia Zhishu's sleeve.

Xia Zhishu gathered her thoughts, "How can you guarantee your safety all by yourself?"

Xia Rongliu: "..."

Seeing that Xia Rongliu didn't speak, Xia Zhishu thought for a moment and said, "How about letting Bai Mingyu go with you? He's the oldest student in the school, and he has a solid foundation in his knowledge, so you don't have to worry about him falling behind."
