00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 2>In this small flower field, there was a transparent greenhouse,

<v Speaker 2>Although winter made flowers scarce and difficult to grow, Ming

85
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 2>knew that his feelings today were more precious than any flower.

96
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 2>However, Ming had never mustered the courage to tell her

97
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 2>his feelings, fearing she might distance herself from him.

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:29.879

<v Speaker 2>Ming walked briskly towards the flower field where he was.

146
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.879
<v Speaker 2>no longer hinder Ming's eager anticipation for spring, because he

147
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:26.600
