The summer campus is always full of energy, and the high school classroom is bustling with excitement.

The classroom is decorated with duan Wu festival decorations, colorful dragon boats and five colored ropes, adding to the festive atmosphere.

In one corner of the room, a few students gather to prepare for a special mooncake making lesson.

Siaoyu is known as the creative mastermind of the class.

She always comes up with imaginative ideas for every activity.

Today, she decides to create a unique mooncake for the class's Duanmu festival project.

I'm going to use watermelon as the filling. See how you excitedly, announces.

Ling listens and frowns. But aren't we supposed to make traditional red bean or lotus seed paste mooncakes.

Lao Shifa the ship Pucha y lin Shi Yue Sihua and jiaoguizu ba sh the Schu do you sell you the ye san tien Kai sien di yo sipu ma.

The recipe the teacher gave us, also says, so Ling is a student who likes to follow the rules and seems a bit displeased with Siaoyu's whimsical ideas.

Jen sendasda sell you the Jui Yin shay Seryeyo de mousie jienzu shi hu hu Zifin puss as chin Chi.

However, Jen jokes Siayu's idea sounds interesting, although a bit risky. Jen always likes to ease the atmosphere and doesn't want everyone to get into a dispute.

Woman Ri Shi sell u Wei su Jishu hu hud ye bin huiguy Schi.

We can give it a try, Siu says, with a smile, the mixed mooncakes will be more interesting.

Yeshi say en kai Shifuni.

So the three of them begin to work together.

Yep Siaoyu carefully dices the watermelon and mixes it into the dough, while Ling busies herself with making another part of the mooncakes according to the traditional steps.

Gian assists on the side, ensuring everyone's work goes smoothly.

Dan Tamen bayu bing fan jin kao sanjo ye sand the shots in fashion lah nagu poo bire la, the tin san jung jasaji suigue the ziwe.

Unexpectedly, after they put the mooncakes in the oven, a peculiar smell mixed with the sweet aroma fills the room.

Gizi yu bing ha say.

Liing shu, these mooncakes seem a bit off, Ling says, Don.

Dao yu bin chu lu dasa facie taman cantili yen soul.

But when the mooncakes are done, everyone notices their color is slightly different.

And ti shao y yehud what.

Could it be the watermelon?

See how you wonders, daz chanli you call fasi and sue hassanu jishih sian da johund chappy it.

Everyone takes a bite and finds that the taste is quite decent, but it's very different from what they had imagined.

Other classmates curiously come over to try them, all expressing that this mooncake experience is very unique.

Gien realizes that sometimes the best solution is not to choose sides, but to integrate them together.
