After their stroll outside to aid digestion, Xia Zhihuai returned home with Wanwan.
As he closed the front gate, he glanced back at the persimmon tree in the courtyard. Perhaps it was just his imagination, but in just one afternoon, he noticed that the newly sprouted leaves on the tree had become much denser compared to the morning.
Standing beneath the tree, he looked up and observed a branch, puzzled as he asked, “Wanwan, is it just me? Why do I feel like the leaves on our persimmon tree have grown so quickly?”
Wanwan ran over to the jujube tree and pressed her hand against its trunk. Hearing Xia Zhihuai’s voice, she turned around with a bewildered expression, “What?”
“I mean, the trees in our yard. It seems like all the leaves have sprouted in just one afternoon,” Xia Zhihuai scratched the back of his head, turning to look at the petite Wanwan.
He couldn’t help but think it was because of her.
