Juhua found his words deeply agreeable and couldn't help but praise him, "A teachable student, indeed."
She regretted it as soon as the words were out. 'Using a phrase like that on a boy Li Changyu's age, and coming from a girl like me... it sounds a bit flippant.' She secretly chided herself. 'I have to be more careful with my words from now on. I'm already fourteen, after all.'
Zhang Huai froze for a moment, then he and Qingmu quickly broke into laughter.
Li Changyu coughed awkwardly. "Juhua, you can't be planning to just plant some willows, can you? Do you have other ideas?"
Juhua gave him a strange look. "Other ideas? What ideas would I have? But look—the acorn trees, the bamboo, the wild chrysanthemums in the village... your father was the one who led everyone to get all that done. This landscape is getting more beautiful with each passing year."
