Ever since little Zhao Shu fell ill last time, no one in the academy bullied her anymore, but at the same time, no one wanted to play with her.

I heard from others that it was the little brother who saved her, otherwise she would be a little fool now.

Little Zhao Shu gradually discovered that people in the academy were avoiding her. She was sad at first, but later she was no longer sad because she found that her little brother was willing to take her wherever he went and was willing to pay attention to her in front of others since she fell ill.

Her father told her that the little brother was her savior, and she should be sensible and obedient and not cause trouble for the little brother.

Well, she remembered!

As the years passed, Zhao Shu, who was already eleven years old, looked at the huge portion of food in front of her and couldn't help but sigh that the illness she had a few years ago was worth it.

"Girl, it's time to go to school!"

Zhao Shu stood up, picked up the cloth bag in a hurry and ran out.

Zhao Shu came to the seat, put her arms on the table, and stretched her head forward. After she moved the screen slightly away and saw the person on the other side of the screen, she smiled happily.

"Cousin Jin!"

"Cousin Jin!"

The young man with a jade-like face looked at Zhao Shu gently. The boy, about fourteen or fifteen years old, had already begun to show his charm.

Zhao Shu took out the buns from the cloth bag and shook them towards the boy: "Cousin Jin, crab buns!"

Zhao Shu grinned at him and threw the bun in her hand onto his desk.

Looking at the buns on the table, the boy shook his head like an adult, but still stretched out his white fingers and put it into the bag.

After school, Zhao Shu caught up with Xie Jin in front of her: "Cousin Jin!"

Xie Jin stopped and turned around to hold her arm: "Slow down!"

Zhao Shuwei raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her who was much taller than her: "Cousin Jin, what are you going to bring to tomorrow's class?"

As the name suggests, "Yixue" means spiritual learning. All the students in the academy go out together and randomly stop at a natural place to feel and understand the magic of nature. This is also a course specially created by their teacher. The purpose is to let them not only know the content of the book, but also understand it spiritually.

Isn’t there a saying that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles? Let the students stand on the turbulent cliff waterfall and let them feel the magnificence of a waterfall dropping three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way is falling from the sky!

Let him stand on the top of the mountain, and experience the ambition and indescribable loneliness of being at the top and overlooking all the other mountains!
Let him watch the afterglow leisurely, and understand that the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is a pity that it is approaching dusk!
Life is short, isn’t it wonderful to just watch the ups and downs of life?

Xie Jin: "I won't bring anything."

"what?"

"You don't even have a pen and paper?" Zhao Shu looked at him in confusion.

Xie Jin looked at her gently: "In Yixue, the most important thing is the experience and understanding, not anything else."

Zhao Shu nodded, not quite understanding: "Oh."

Although the Master did things as he pleased, there was one behavior that he hated very much, and that was riding a horse or sitting in a sedan chair when going to school!

The purpose of learning is to let you appreciate different scenery, not to bring your lazy, greedy and sloppy attitude from home over there!

Therefore, the students in the academy all walked to the gate of Xuanping Marquis's Mansion early in the morning to wait for the teacher.

Once everyone was there, they set off for their destination, which was nowhere.

Although both men and women attended the academy, the teacher still separated them into different groups considering their increasing age.

The girls walked in front and the boy walked behind, keeping a distance from the girls.

Zhao Shu didn’t have many friends in the academy. The girls walked together in groups of three or four, arm in arm, and she followed at the very edge, not too close.

Zhao Shu turned around and saw Xie Jin talking to the person next to him. Noticing her gaze, he turned around and smiled at her gently.

Zhao Shu smiled back.

They finally came to an apricot grove where the trees were full of apricot blossoms. Although the best flowering period had passed, the apricot blossoms in the garden were still dazzling.

"Yu Jin, look!" Zhao Xueying called out to her good friend beside her.

The girl who was called was wearing a blue dress and had a pretty and graceful face. She was a girl as gentle as water.

Looking at the spring scenery all over the garden, Wang Yujin couldn't help but walk forward. At this moment, a breeze blew by, startling the spring scenery all over the garden.

In an instant, apricot blossoms turned into rain and fell towards Wang Yujin.

Zhao Shu was stunned. She seemed to see a flower fairy who had strayed into the human world. She was beautiful and gentle, and all the beautiful words could describe her.

Zhao Shu turned her head, and sure enough, the expressions on the other people's faces were the same as hers. She even saw a flash of surprise in Xie Jin's eyes.

Zhao Xueying looked at her friend blankly and said, "Yu Jin, are you a fairy?"

Zhao Xueying's words seemed to touch everyone's heart, and everyone waited for the answer with bated breath.

Wang Yujin was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, her face flushed, and she said in a tone of shame and annoyance: "Stop it!"

Zhao Shu saw that everyone was stunned again, even Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, staring at the smiling girl in front of her without blinking.

It was not until the Master coughed that everyone came back to their senses. The young men's ears turned red, and they looked at each other. There was an indescribable feeling in the air.

Except for Zhao Shu and Zhao Xueying, the other girls all walked away from Wang Yujin and went to other places.

Zhao Xueying went over, took her arm, and pointed to the place with the most fallen flowers: "Yu Jin, let's go over there."

Zhao Shu looked to both sides, walked towards the apricot tree, squatted beside the tree, and stuffed handfuls of fallen petals into her cloth bag.

A voice sounded above her head: "Shu'er, why are you pretending?" Zhao Shu looked up in surprise: "Cousin Jin!"

"I'm going to take these flowers."

"Yu Jin, what are you doing?" Zhao Xueying's clear voice sounded.

Wang Yujin seemed a little embarrassed: "I want to bury them."

"what?"

Wang Yujin: "These flowers were admired by thousands of people when they were young, and trampled by thousands of people after they withered. It's a bit pitiful. I buried them in the soil, which can be regarded as letting them return to their roots."

Zhao Shu looked at Xie Jin, whose eyes were fixed on Wang Yujin, curled her lips, lowered her head and continued to pick up the fallen flowers, muttering, "I'll take these flowers back to make cakes!"

"Yeah, not bad." The teacher looked at Wang Yujin and nodded, then turned to look at Xie Jin: "What do you think?"

Xie Jin bowed respectfully to the teacher and said, "I think the ornamental value of flowers is one of their values. The falling of flowers does not mean the end, but the opposite. It means the beginning."

"Fallen flowers are a good source of nutrients. Why not spread them around the roots of trees so that the trees can get more nutrients and bloom more luxuriantly next year?"

"Isn't it better if we complement each other and make each other better?"

After saying this, he bowed to Wang Yujin and said, "I hope you can forgive me for any offense I may have caused in my words!"

Wang Yujin smiled and shook his head: "Xie Shizi's words are very pertinent, it is Yujin who is superficial."

The teacher looked at these two students who were already excellent in their studies and nodded with satisfaction: "Don't gather together, go do what you need to do."

Zhao Xueying came up to Wang Yujin, looked at the two of them, and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Wang Yujin blushed and looked away hurriedly: "Nothing!"

Zhao Xueying looked at Xie Jin in disbelief: "Really?"

Xie Jin nodded slightly towards Zhao Xueying, then turned and walked aside.

Wang Yujin: “Yes.”

Zhao Xueying looked around boredly: "So what are we going to do next?"

Catching a glimpse of the man's back, Wang Yujin said gently, "Go and sprinkle the flowers on the tree roots as nutrients."

Xie Jin came to the tree where Zhao Shu was picking flowers and sat down, with one leg stretched out and his right hand casually resting on the bent leg. He looked extremely comfortable.

Zhao Shu poked his calf: "Move aside!"

Xie Jin opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile: "Why are you picking these flowers?"

Zhao Shu pouted: "I'm idle and bored!"

Xie Jin laughed, flicked Zhao Shu's forehead with his finger, "You have the mentality of a child."

Zhao Shu pursed her lips and unhappily picked up the petal under Xie Jin's feet and put it into the cloth bag.

Xie Jin looked at her with amusement: "You are not happy after I said a few words to you."

"Okay, okay, I'll go sit over by the side so I don't block you from picking flowers."

Zhao Shu didn't say anything and picked the flowers silently. After Xie Jin left, she didn't go to the place where he had just been to pick up the flowers. Instead, she changed direction and picked up the flowers without even touching the place where he had sat.

Xie Jin was watching this scene not far away, and shook her head in amusement, but she didn't care. She just thought she was acting like a child, so she simply closed her eyes and continued to rest.

On the way back, Wang Yujin looked back from time to time. Zhao Shu followed her gaze and saw the most eye-catching boy in the crowd.

Zhao Shu was silent all the way. The maids and servants of each family had already been waiting at the gate of the marquis's mansion to pick up their own sons and daughters and bring them back to the mansion.

Before Xie Jin got on the carriage, Zhao Shu came over to say goodbye to him: "Goodbye, cousin Jin."

Xie Jin looked at her face that was clearly showing that she was coming to comfort me when I was unhappy, and smiled helplessly: "After the cakes are ready, will you give me a piece?"

Zhao Shu looked up in surprise. Did he hear it?

Xie Jin seemed to know what she was thinking: "You spoke so loudly, it would be hard not to hear."

Zhao Shu lowered her head. She had clearly spoken in a very low voice! How could it be as exaggerated as he said!

Xie Jin looked at her with amusement: "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement."

Zhao Shu pursed her lips tightly and looked at him.

Before getting into the carriage, Xie Jin turned his head and looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Don't try to deny it, I will remember to come and get it!"

Zhao Shu picked her fingers angrily. Who would want to deny it? Looking at the carriage going farther and farther away, her cheeks flushed. Okay, she admitted that she did want to deny it a little bit just now. She swore, it was just a little bit the size of her fingernail.
