In the afternoon, the children gradually arrived at the school. The first class of the afternoon began, and Xia Rongliu sat next to Xia Zhanxin as usual, then looked out the window.

Xia Zhanxin was in great agony at this moment. After he ignored his sister, she stopped trying to comfort him. If Xia Rongliu had persisted a little longer, even just saying one more word would have been enough for him.

Xia Rongliu gazed out the window, feeling as if there was something she hadn't done yet. Her eyes inadvertently drifted to the little cart she had been pushing that morning.

The little cart is still sitting in a small corner of the house, with the seedlings still in the boxes inside. The cart is placed in the shade under a big tree.

Xia Rongliu then remembered that her seedlings had not been transplanted yet. She sighed. Her memory was not good. She was so busy coaxing Xia Zhanxin that she forgot about the seedlings.

The question is whether or not to talk to Master Zhang and ask her to go outside and transplant flower seedlings.

Xia Zhanxin looked at Xia Rongliu, who was still staring out the window, motionless. She felt a little annoyed, thinking that she shouldn't have been angry for so long.

Knowing full well what kind of person Xia Rongliu is, she still insists on dwelling on this incident.

After much hesitation, Xia Zhanxin, not wanting to continue this stalemate with Xia Rongliu, poked Xia Rongliu's waist with the tip of her calligraphy brush.

This sudden movement startled Xia Rongliu, who exclaimed in surprise. Her voice wasn't very loud, but only Sun Zhu, who was in front of her, heard it and turned around.

"Sister Xia, what's wrong?" Could it be that Xia Zhanxin is angry and embarrassed and has started to hit her?

Xia Rongliu said, "It's nothing, I'll just listen to your lecture."

Sun Zhu had no choice but to turn around again. It seemed that Xia Zhanxin had done it. Oh well, it was none of his business. Even if he tried, he couldn't control it. And if he did, he would suffer the consequences.

After Sun Zhu, Xia Rongliu looked at the culprit and asked, "What are you doing?" There was no anger in her voice. Xia Rongliu looked at Xia Zhanxin and asked, "Isn't Xia Zhanxin ignoring me?"

Xia Zhanxin knew she was in the wrong, so she stammered, "Sister..." Her voice was very soft, and after saying "Sister," she couldn't say anything else.

Xia Rongliu stared intently at Xia Zhanxin. "What? Not angry anymore?"

Knowing that she was in the wrong, Xia Rongliu didn't deliberately make things difficult for Xia Zhanxin, since it was Xia Zhanxin who found someone else after being rejected, or more accurately, it was Xia Zhishu who found her.

Xia Zhanxin's ears turned a light pink. "Mmm." He was still angry, and he didn't know if Xia Rongliu would coax him, but he couldn't stand it for a day or two.

Xia Rongliu smiled, then it's alright. Xia Zhanxin looked at Xia Rongliu's smile and felt even more conflicted.

Xia Rongliu had already explained things to him that morning, and he had taken it to heart. However, he was still angry and hadn't paid any attention to Xia Rongliu. Now that Xia Rongliu wasn't trying to coax him anymore, how could he still be angry?

"Alright, now that you've calmed down, it's okay. Let's get back to the lesson," Xia Rongliu said. Sun Zhu, who was in front of her, didn't turn around, but rolled her eyes.

He knew this would be the outcome, and even so, he was wrong. The two of them would never argue or have a cold war for more than half a day.

Boring, really boring. He's used to this kind of thing. It's just a little unexpected that Mr. Xia Zhanxin was so angry. In the end, it was Xia Zhanxin who spoke first to end the cold war.

Sun Zhu sighed, thinking of the lowly men, and then, thinking of herself, felt even more melancholy. What a tragedy.

Xia Zhanxin obediently turned her head away at Xia Rongliu's words. Xia Rongliu only said a few words and then it was over. Xia Zhanxin was still wondering whether she should say something more.

Before long, Xia Rongliu couldn't sit still any longer and reported to Master Zhang that she was going to take care of the flower seedlings.

Master Zhang readily agreed. Xia Rongliu wasn't here to attend classes; she was more like there to keep Xia Zhanxin company. As long as it didn't disrupt the class, anything was fine.

Xia Rongliu went out immediately after receiving permission. Xia Zhanxin felt a pang of anxiety as he watched Xia Rongliu run out again. His sister no longer told him what she was doing, whereas she used to inform him first.

Xia Rongliu ran to the cart under the tree before realizing she hadn't told Xia Zhanxin. She shook her head, thinking that she hadn't called anyone else this time, so Xia Zhanxin probably wouldn't be angry.

Xia Rongliu tied up her half-down hair, pushed the cart under the tree, and brought a shovel with her when she came.

Xia Rongliu took out a small shovel and began to shovel the soil around the big tree. The tree was very big and looked very old. The roots at the bottom had broken through the soil and formed winding and twisting lines on the ground.

She could easily trip over it if she wasn't careful, but the gaps between the tree roots made it easier for her to plant seedlings.

First, loosen the soil. Xia Rongliu pulled out the weeds around the plant and planted a few flower seedlings. This place is truly beautiful.

When the wind and rain come, it can reduce the damage to the seedlings. When the sun comes out, it is just right to be partially shaded. The light shines through the leaves onto the flowers, and the side sunlight is also sufficient, so there is no fear of them being scorched to death in the summer.

And so, Xia Rongliu began diligently planting flower seedlings. Xia Rongliu was already quite experienced, and with her small frame, she had planted more than half of them. During this time, she also went to fetch some water.

Xia Zhanxin kept glancing out the window, watching the busy little figure. She pursed her lips, having some thoughts in mind, but unfortunately, Teacher Zhang wouldn't allow it.

Xia Rongliu finally finished most of it. She would put the rest on the windowsill so she could take care of it during class. She was getting moldy from staying in the classroom all the time.

But she couldn't go home and relax. First, she had promised Xia Zhanxin that Xia Zhanxin would be angry if she went back. Second, Xia Zhishu also wanted her to learn more. Although he was not strict with her, according to the saying, she should learn as much as she could and listen to what she was told.

Pushing the stroller to the window, Xia Zhanxin immediately turned her head upon hearing the noise. The distance wasn't far, just a few steps further than where Xia Rongliu usually sat.

There's only this wall separating them, and the window is quite large; Sun Zhu can see Xia Rongliu as soon as he turns his head.

"Sister Xia, what are you doing?" Sun Zhu didn't say the question aloud, because if he did, he'd be in big trouble.

Xia Rongliu placed several small cardboard boxes on the windowsill. "Oh, I'm transplanting the flowers here so I can take care of them while you're listening to the lecture."

Sun Zhu nodded. He didn't understand this kind of thing and had never been exposed to it before. He thought that flowers were the same no matter where they were. As long as they could grow and had sunlight and some water, they could survive.

"Planting flowers is so troublesome, Sister Xia, don't you find it tiring?" Sun Zhu asked.

“How could this be tiring? I really enjoy planting flowers. You wouldn’t understand the joy I find in it,” Xia Rongliu said.

"Sister," Xia Zhanxin said, "Won't those people damage these flowers if we leave them here?"

After all, the school is mostly filled with young children, and they are all boys. Even if the naughty Hua pulls out the flower, he is not worried that they will bully Xia Rongliu. But it would be troublesome to buy more to plant. Just choosing flower seeds and seedlings would be a problem.

Needless to say, the survival rate of the flowers is even lower. If they were transplanted here, their survival rate might be reduced by those naughty kids, or they might all perish.
