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

Xia Rongliu fell silent. She had just rejected Xia Zhanxin, and her father recommended Bai Mingyu to her, using the same reasons she had rejected Xia Zhanxin. How was she supposed to face Xia Zhanxin now?

Seeing that Xia Rongliu didn't speak, Xia Zhishu picked up his pen and wrote as he said, "Then just leave it there for now. There's no rush. Once the flower withers and dies, you won't have to worry about it anymore."

"No way!" Xia Rongliu retorted without even thinking.

Xia Zhishu didn't know what Xia Rongliu was hesitating about, so he could only say, "Either Bai Mingyu goes with you and I'll feel at ease, or you can stay here."

Xia Rongliu finally agreed. When class started, Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhishu went to the door together. Xia Zhishu went inside, while Xia Rongliu just stood at the door.

She was too ashamed to face Xia Zhanxin now; the feeling of guilt was too torturous. Just thinking about Xia Zhanxin's aggrieved and tearful appearance made her want to scream, "Ahhh, I can't bear to look!"

Xia Zhishu walked to the podium and said, "Bai Mingyu, come here for a moment."

Bai Mingyu's heart skipped a beat. Was Master Xia going to settle scores with him? The children around him were all watching the show.

Xia Zhishu pulled Bai Mingyu to the door, speaking softly, so that only the people in front could hear him.

Xia Zhanxin could only watch their lips from behind and try to guess, but she still couldn't figure it out.

Bai Mingyu was quite nervous. What if Master Xia came after him? Xia Zhishu found Bai Mingyu's expression amusing. "It's nothing for me to come after you."

"Master Xia, why did you drag me here?" Bai Mingyu felt a little relieved, but he was still worried.

"Because my daughter Yinyin wants to move her flowers here, but I'm worried about her going alone, so I'd like you to go with her." Xia Zhishu felt that she was being a little shameless.

First came Master Zhang, then came Bai Mingyu. Bai Mingyu was happy to make amends, saying, "I will definitely do a good job."

Xia Zhishu almost had a misconception, so he patted Bai Mingyu on the shoulder and replied, "Do a good job!"

Xia Rongliu: ...

The two of them went out together. Before they reached the door, Xia Rongliu didn't dare to turn her head, afraid that if she did, she would see Xia Zhanxin through the window.

The sight of the poor thing being abandoned made her feel incredibly guilty. A strong gaze climbed up her back, sending chills down her spine. Xia Rongliu picked up Bai Mingyu and walked even faster.

Although she didn't know why she was afraid, her instincts told her that she couldn't go back, but her steps quickened.

Xia Zhanxin, who was in the classroom, kept staring at that spot without moving. He had been unhappy when Xia Zhishu called Bai Mingyu out and Xia Rongliu stood at the door without moving.

He sensed something in his heart, but since he was sitting in the last row, he couldn't hear the sounds from the other side. He only knew that he saw Bai Mingyu and Xia Rongliu walking out side by side.

The brush tip broke off on the paper, and his eyes were fixed on Xia Rongliu's hand holding Bai Mingyu's.

His sister is annoyed with him; she doesn't want him to keep her company but wants Bai Mingyu to. His sister is being naughty...

Although his face was expressionless, his eyes held a turbulent undercurrent, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a degree.

Sun Zhu, who was in front, was also puzzled by this scene. It wasn't until Xia Rongliu and Bai Mingyu crossed the courtyard and walked out of the school gate that he realized that Xia Rongliu hadn't brought Xia Zhanxin, but had brought Bai Mingyu instead!

He heard everything they were saying in the back. Strangely, Xia Rongliu actually refused to be with Xia Zhanxin and Bai Mingyu.

Sun Zhu turned her head, wanting to ask Xia Zhanxin what she had done and if she had angered Xia Rongliu, but then swallowed and turned her head back.

What did he just see? Xia Zhanxin's eyes looked like she wanted to kill him. What did he do wrong?

Wait a minute, could it be because of Bai Mingyu and Xia Rongliu's provocation? He's sitting right in front of Xia Zhanxin. What if Xia Zhanxin hurts innocent people later?

He finally saw Xia Zhanxin for who she really was. She would act all sweet and coquettish in front of Xia Rongliu, but with other people, she would have a blank expression, as if you didn't deserve her.

He would occasionally give her a death threat in his eyes. Oh my god, someone save him! Xia Rongliu had better write back soon, or he suspected that Xia Zhanxin was going to make an example of him.

Xia Rongliu and Bai Mingyu arrived at the Xia family home. It was Bai Mingyu's first time visiting Xia Rongliu's house. Xia Rongliu knocked on the door.

Lin Yue was quite surprised to see Xia Rongliu and Bai Mingyu when she opened the door. Xia Rongliu had actually returned at this time, and with a boy in tow.

Lin Yue glanced instinctively towards the door. "Where's your dad?"

“My dad is teaching a class,” Xia Rongliu said. “This is my mother, and this is Bai Mingyu, a student at the school.”

After Xia Rongliu introduced the other party, Lin Yue invited them into the house.

"Why are you back now? You were just there to listen in, but they weren't," Lin Yue asked. This kid is quite handsome; she was worried he might steal Xia Rongliu away.

"Oh, because I'm here to move things. I need to move my seedlings and the others to the school to take care of them, otherwise they'll easily die," Xia Rongliu said.

The group sat chatting in the main room. When Grandma Xia came out carrying Juejue, she was surprised to see Xia Rongliu, and even more surprised to see Bai Mingyu next to her.

"Hey, why are you back so early today? Can't stand listening to this anymore?" I knew he wasn't cut out for studying, but he still went to try and get in.

I met up with a boy today; he was quite handsome.

Xia Rongliu rubbed her forehead and explained what had happened. Old Madam Xia sat on the stool without saying a word. Juejue had spent very little time with Xia Rongliu lately, so she jumped off Old Madam Xia and ran to Xia Rongliu's arms to snuggle up.

Bai Mingyu looked at the cat and felt a fondness for it, saying, "How come I never knew you had a kitten? It's so pretty."

Xia Rongliu nodded, "That's right, if you let Juejue out, you wouldn't find anything comparable to it on the whole street."

"What's this little cutie's name?" Bai Mingyu asked.

“Call him Juejue,” Xia Rongliu said. Bai Mingyu was a little confused. “Juejue?”

Xia Rongliu suddenly laughed, "The character '觉' (jué) means 'to sleep.' It's so lazy; you can see it sleeping all the time, so we named it '觉觉' (juéjué)."

Bai Mingyu nodded. They chatted for quite a while, but after a while, Old Lady Xia became dissatisfied. She still wanted to cuddle with her baby.

"Alright, alright, have you forgotten why you came back? Once you've finished moving, give me back my sleep." Old Mrs. Xia's intentions were so obvious that Xia Rongliu couldn't possibly not see through them.

Realizing that he and Bai Mingyu had indeed been talking for quite a while, probably even before the second class was over.

Lin Yue felt tired from carrying the seedlings back and forth several times, and since both of them were still young, she found a small cart, put a small box on it, laid some soil on it, and carefully dug out the seedlings and put them inside.

And so the two of them pushed the stroller back home, feeling incredibly relaxed the whole way.

There were still some empty seats on the stroller. Xia Rongliu was a little tired when they were almost there, so Bai Mingyu let her sit on the stroller.

Xia Rongliu saw that it wasn't far away, so she naturally sat down.
