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

What Sun Zhu didn't know was that Xia Rongliu hadn't actually brought that many seedlings; Xia Rongliu had deliberately pointed out several areas under the big tree.

Xia Rongliu had already loosened the willow branches and pulled out some of the surrounding weeds, but she only did half of it because she was tired.

Xia Rongliu finally let Sun Zhu go. To be precise, class started, and Xia Zhanxin even found a warning sign to prevent the students in the classroom from approaching that area.

The students were initially quite curious, wondering who brought it so they could play a prank on them, but when they heard it was Xia Rongliu's, they ran away.

Xia Rongliu is ruthless; they can't outmaneuver her.

The afternoon passed peacefully like this. When Xia Rongliu got bored, she would fiddle with the seedlings, making sure they faced the light.

Master Zhang wouldn't say anything.

Xia Rongliu specially placed that special plant on the windowsill, especially the chrysanthemum. She specifically asked the vendor for the green chrysanthemum.

Green chrysanthemums are extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring loose, well-draining, and well-aerated loam. This type of soil allows for timely drainage and is well-suited for their growth.

The temperature should generally be maintained between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius, as this range is suitable for plant growth. The minimum temperature should not fall below 10 degrees Celsius...

She specifically chose the excellent soil around that big tree, where the temperature was just right by the windowsill. The windowsill also had eaves to prevent the sun from shining too brightly on the students in the summer.

Placing chrysanthemums here allows them to bask in the sunlight without the intense heat causing them to wither and die.

That is, just right.

The next morning, Master Zhang went to the Pear Blossom Garden, and Xia Zhishu was teaching in the school. Time passed as beautifully as ever.

During the first break, Xia Rongliu ran off to find candy from Master Zhang, while Xia Zhanxin stayed in the classroom.

A delicate and adorable little girl stood at the school gate, wearing a flashy pink dress.

It was right after class, and the students in the courtyard were jumping and playing around when suddenly a child saw Li Muling, a pretty girl standing at the door.

She was wearing a cute pink dress and looked gentle and sweet, with several boys gathered together.

"Hey, does anyone know that girl at the door?" someone asked. Sun Zhu looked over and saw that she was quite pretty, but he didn't like her for some reason and subconsciously frowned.

"I don't know her. Is she someone's sister or relative? I've never seen her before."

"Who cares? You go ask him." One child pointed at another and ordered.

The child was bewildered. Why was he being asked to go? The child pointed to himself and said, "Me? Why aren't you going?"

"What do you know? Such a cute little girl, you're not happy about going?" the child said.

Another child thought, "Forget it, it's always been like this." As for why they didn't dare to go, it was because Xia Rongliu had cast a huge shadow over them.

Some children had never been tormented by Xia Rongliu, but watching from the sidelines was terrifying, and they felt that they should never mess with Xia Rongliu.

Therefore, in their minds, beautiful girls are not to be trifled with, and Xia Zhanxin is another example; being beautiful and gentle doesn't necessarily mean being good at everything.

There's an idiom, what's it again? "A beautiful woman with a venomous heart," yes, it's the perfect way to describe Xia Rongliu.

The child reluctantly went to the door. Some things are beautiful, but can only be admired from afar. He hoped that this girl was as gentle as she was.

As they reached the door, before Fang Jinbao could even ask the girl a question, he spoke first: "Do you have another teacher here named Xia Zhishu?"

Fang Jinbao nodded and asked, "Yes, we have a Master Xia here. What brings you here to see Master Xia?"

Upon hearing the answer, Li Muling became less reserved, jumped over the threshold, and smiled brightly. "My uncle asked me to come and find Master Xia here. He left in a hurry this morning and forgot to bring some things, so he asked me to come and get them."

“Oh, but Master Xia should be in his and Master Zhang’s little study right now,” Fang Jinbao replied.

"Can you take me to him?" Li Muling moved closer to Fang Jinbao, and Fang Jinbao blushed involuntarily when he saw that it was such a beautiful and gentle girl who was getting close to him.

Look at this, and then look at Xia Rongliu, what a difference! Fang Jinbao's heart raced, and he stammered, "Yes, yes, why don't you go to the classroom and wait for him? We usually can't get into that little bookstore."

Unless Xia Rongliu and Xia Zhanxin have something urgent to attend to, they are usually in the pavilion or other places.

Li Muling nodded, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, but she didn't show it, and smiled even more brightly, "Thank you, will you take me there?"

Fang Jinbao was taken aback by the smile and said, "Of course, you can."

After saying that, he led the way. It was only a few minutes' walk. The group of children were dumbfounded. Why was Fang Jinbao smiling so romantically? Why did that girl look so gentle?

Fang Jinbao led Li Muling to the door, and before they even went inside, the group of friends called out to him, "Fang Jinbao!"

Fang Jinbao turned around and saw them waving at him, beckoning him to come over. Fang Jinbao was helpless; they had just pushed him up, and now they were calling him back.

Fang Jinbao hesitated for a moment, but then he thought that Xia Zhishu hadn't arrived yet and Li Muling wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, so he said to Li Muling, "My friend is looking for me. You...you can find a seat first. Master Xia will be back in a little while."

Li Muling nodded and smiled sweetly, "Okay, then go ahead, thank you."

Fang Jinbao felt dizzy, and even walking felt like walking on clouds.

There were only a few people in the classroom at the moment. Xia Zhanxin sat in the last row by the window. The dim light from outside shone down on her, making her look like a fairy descended from heaven.

Beautiful and stunning, Xia Zhanxin aroused envy. Li Muling spotted her at a glance, and for a moment, something seemed to be about to burst forth.

Xia Zhanxin was the most handsome boy she had ever seen. His aloof temperament was like that of a celestial being. The first thought in Li Muling's mind was that she would marry Xia Zhanxin when she grew up.

Li Muling walked over with elegant little steps, head held high and chest out, her eyes full of confidence. She was extremely confident in her appearance; she had never met anyone who could match her temperament and beauty.

She's met women who are prettier and have better temperament than her, but they either have better temperament but aren't as good-looking, or they're prettier but lack temperament. In short, no one is like her, good in both aspects.

In this way, no matter who is more outstanding than her and stands in front of her, they will still be slightly inferior. Therefore, with the praise around her, she began to pay extra attention to her image.

A ten-year-old girl already cares a lot about her appearance. While others were still digging in the mud, she had already started using rouge.
