The next morning, all the children went to school, while Song Yutu stayed in his room playing games.

Song Yiran and Xiao Zhong’er set up a table and chairs in the yard. They sat comfortably, drinking tea and admiring the flowers. While drinking, Xiao Zhong’er suddenly thought of a question.

“Song Yiran, what’s your favorite flower? My favorite is peach blossoms!”

Song Yiran smiled. “Me? My favorite is roses.”

“Huh? You like roses the most? Then why don’t you plant some in the yard?”

“Our yard is so big—you could plant tons of roses!”

Xiao Zhong’er began imagining the yard filled with roses. It would be super beautiful!

Song Yiran shook his head. “But roses have thorns. What if you get pricked while playing in the yard?”

Xiao Zhong’er frowned in confusion. “But don’t you like roses?”

“I do,” Song Yiran replied, “but I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Xiao Zhong’er was defeated by his logic. He traced circles on the table with his finger, then suddenly thought of another angle.

“…Alright, let me put it another way. What if I liked roses? If I were the one who liked them, what would you do?”

Song Yiran lowered his head, resting his chin in his hand. After thinking for a while, he answered,

“Then I’d set aside a special area to plant roses, and I’d put a fence around them so you wouldn’t accidentally touch the thorns.”

Xiao Zhong’er slapped the table hard.

“See?! Problem solved! You clearly have a solution—so why won’t you use it for yourself?”

He couldn’t understand Song Yiran. Why was he always strict with himself and lenient with others?

If you like something, go fight for it! If you want something, do everything you can to get it! Compete, grab, live better!

If you like roses, plant them! Why worry so much?

Song Yiran was kind to everyone—Xiao Zhong’er, the children at the nursery, even strangers.

Yet he was never kind enough to himself.

Xiao Zhong’er had never been able to understand him.

Why were human emotions so complicated? Why wouldn’t people fight for what they loved?

Humans were so complicated…

Song Yiran hesitated. “I just—”

Before he could finish, Xiao Zhong’er grabbed him and pulled him toward the back of the yard.

“Alright, alright, forget it! Let’s go plant roses!”

They worked for a long time and finally planted a large patch of fiery red roses.

The beautiful roses stretched out their petals and branches, releasing a faint fragrance.

Song Yiran put a fence around them. When he was done, he stood there with his hands on his hips, silently gazing at the bright red flowers.

A gentle breeze passed through, carrying the delicate scent to him.

He took a deep breath.

It felt as if a seed had been planted in his heart—one that only needed the right moment to sprout.

Xiao Zhong’er rushed into Song Yutu’s room and dragged him outside.

“Song Yutu! Look! We planted roses! And guess what—these are Song Yiran’s favorite flowers!”

At first, Song Yutu wasn’t very interested. He just wanted to go back to gaming.

But when he heard that roses were Song Yiran’s favorite, he straightened up and walked over quickly.

So this was his brother’s favorite flower…

They used to seem ordinary, but now they looked extraordinarily beautiful.

“They’re so pretty! No wonder they’re brother’s favorite!”

“Brother’s taste is so elegant! Only flowers like these match his refinement!”

Song Yiran blushed slightly.

“Yutu, don’t stand too close to the fence…”

…You might get pricked.

Before he could finish, Song Yutu said confidently,

“Oh! I get it! The fence is to protect these beautiful flowers, right? Don’t worry, brother—I’ll protect them!”

Song Yiran froze.

It felt as if something light had gently struck his heart.

That seed inside him was about to sprout.

Xiao Zhong’er and Song Yutu praised the roses endlessly, as if they were the most beautiful flowers in the universe.

Song Yiran became so embarrassed that he slipped into the kitchen.

“I’ll bake you some cookies!”

In the kitchen, he pressed a hand to his chest.

That seed in his heart couldn’t wait to grow.

In the afternoon, they went to pick up the children from kindergarten.

When they got home, the kids immediately noticed the new patch of flowers.

“What flower is this?” Song Buli asked curiously.

Before Song Yiran could answer, Xiao Zhong’er spoke first.

“Pretty, right? These are roses! And they’re Song Yiran’s favorite!”

The children rushed over excitedly.

“Wow! So these are brother’s favorite flowers! They’re so pretty!”

“So beautiful!”

“Best flowers ever!”

“They look like sunset clouds!”

“Sparkly and pretty!”

“They smell so nice!”

“Brother has great taste!”

Then Song Yinyun asked, “Brother, why are only these flowers fenced?”

Song Yiran said softly, “Because I’m afraid you’ll—”

Before he could finish, Song Buli interrupted gently,

“Brother did this to protect the flowers, right?”

“Don’t worry, brother! We’ll take good care of them!”

He smiled innocently.

“These are things brother likes. We’ll definitely protect what brother loves.”

“Yes, yes! We’ll protect them!”

“When we play in the yard, we’ll be careful. We definitely won’t hurt these flowers!”

“Yeah, yeah! These are big brother’s favorite flowers. We’ll protect them!”

The children’s innocent words warmed Song Yiran’s heart. The seed in his heart finally sprouted. Given time, that little bud would grow into a beautiful flower.

In the evening, after dinner, the children went out to play in the yard.

Song Yiran frowned as he looked at the tallest and largest cherry blossom tree in the courtyard. Song Yutu followed his gaze. The cherry tree looked the same as always, and so did the big swing hanging from its trunk.

Curiously, Song Yutu asked, “Brother, is there something wrong with that tree?”

Song Yiran shook his head. “I just think… it stands out too much, and it’s too… lonely.”

All kinds of trees and flowers were planted in the yard. The entire courtyard was lush and full of vitality.

But that cherry blossom tree was different.

It was the most prominent tree in the yard—the tallest and the thickest.

Before, Song Yiran hadn’t thought much of it. But today, after looking carefully, he realized that the tree seemed a little too lonely.

In the end, he made a firm decision.

“I’m going to plant trees as tall and strong as it around it, so it won’t be lonely anymore!”

He finally chose peach trees, crabapple trees, magnolia trees, and pear trees. They were all special varieties—extra tall and extra sturdy.

These flowering trees were generously sponsored by Xiao Zhong’er.

Song Yiran and Song Yutu worked hard to plant the trees beside the cherry tree, while Xiao Zhong’er and the children cheered them on.

After half a day of hard work, a large flower grove formed with the cherry tree at its center.

All the trees in the grove were gigantic flowering trees. Each had a huge canopy, packed with dense blossoms. From afar, they looked like massive clouds made of colorful flowers.
