The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Chapter 16 Novice Mission 15

These things are actually not as complicated as you think.”

Xiao Wu continued, "Besides, the characters in the original book are fictional. They don't have real life or consciousness. So, no matter what we do, even if we change the plot, it won't have any impact on them."

After listening to Xiaowu's explanation, Xu Yingying felt much better. Yes, these are all fictional stories, why should I be so entangled?

Xu Yingying decided not to think about this problem anymore, but to focus on completing her mission and enjoying this journey. After all, being able to experience different lives is also a rare opportunity.

Xu Yingying went into the bathroom to take a shower at Aunt Xu's instruction. After taking a shower, Xu Yingying came out as quickly as possible, thinking of going to the kitchen to help Aunt Xu cook.

Who knew that Aunt Xu had already done all the work she needed to do while Xu Yingying went to take a shower.

Now we just have to wait for the food in the pot to be cooked and then we can start eating.

When Xu Yingying ate the meal that Aunt Xu specially prepared for her, she once again felt that her happiness tonight was off the charts.

I don't know if it's because I came home late tonight and Xu Yingying was really hungry for too long. Or maybe it's something else, but Xu Yingying thought tonight's meal was really delicious. She had eaten the meal made by Aunt Xu yesterday when she first arrived.

"Xiaowu, why does this meal suddenly taste so much better?" Xu Yingying, who didn't know the reason, chose to ask Xiaowu.

"What do you mean by host? I haven't found any passage in the original book that describes Aunt Xu's delicious cooking." Xiao Wu replied while searching for information seriously.

"But I really think today's meal is delicious." Xu Yingying talked to Xiaowu while eating.

Seeing Xu Yingying's chopsticks flying, Xu Xiaofeng also smiled like an aunt. She thought: The child is starving. She usually doesn't eat so much. She must have been hungry for a long time tonight. Thinking of this, Xu Xiaofeng said: "Yingying, eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you." She picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her bowl. Then she said:

"Don't eat too quickly. You've been hungry for too long tonight. Eating too quickly is bad for your stomach."

After hearing this, Xu Yingying's ears turned red unconsciously and she deliberately slowed down her eating speed.

She didn't know why she suddenly ate so fast, as she had never been a big eater. But tonight's meal was delicious to her.

She ate faster unconsciously. Although Aunt Xu in front of her didn't try to grab the food from her, she still kept eating unconsciously.

Seeing Xu Yingying slow down her eating speed, Xu Xiaofeng was thinking in her mind whether she should have a good talk with Yingying about what happened today.

However, when they first started school, the homeroom teacher, Teacher Chen, had already told Yingying a lot about this. If I tell Yingying about this again now, will it cause her to rebel?

No matter how seriously Xu Yingying ate, she could see that her cheap aunt had not moved her chopsticks at all, except for the food she had just picked up for her.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yingying said, "Auntie, aren't you hungry?"

Xu Xiaofeng, who was wandering around, was brought back to the dinner table by Xu Yingying's words. She felt that it would be better for her to ask the matter directly, otherwise she would keep thinking about it and never know what the child was thinking.

"Yingying, eat and listen to what your aunt says." Xu Xiaofeng still felt that since she was Yingying's guardian now, even though she had never been a mother to anyone else, the child was not young anymore.

Thinking about how I also wanted my family to treat me like an adult when I was little, I now put myself in their shoes and treat Yingying like an adult.

"Auntie also heard what you said to your class teacher at school tonight. I have just started living with you, so I may not really understand your thoughts. But I want to know, what do you think?" Xu Xiaofeng looked at Xu Yingying intently and asked softly.

Xu Yingying looked up at Xu Xiaofeng, her eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions, but she quickly lowered her head and remained silent.

Her fingers gently fiddled with the hem of her clothes, as if she was thinking about how to answer this question. "Xiao Wu, I don't want to lie to my cheap aunt."

"Host, perhaps you could consider selective disclosure." Xiao Wu suggested.

After a while, Xu Yingying slowly raised her head, with a determined light in her eyes, and said softly: "Aunt, I didn't tell you what happened at school, just because I didn't want to cause you trouble. I would feel very guilty. So... I want to solve these things myself."

Xu Xiaofeng frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "But you are still so young, what can you do?"

Xu Yingying took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "I'm grown up now. I believe I can handle it myself. Besides, this will also reassure you and Mom and Dad."

Xu Xiaofeng listened quietly, feeling a surge of guilt in her heart. Looking at her niece who was abandoned by her parents, yet had such a strong heart and sense of responsibility, Xu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh: "Yingying, you are still young, you don't need to be so sensible. Auntie doesn't want you to put too much pressure on yourself, you are still a child."

Xu Yingying smiled slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes: "Aunt, thank you for your concern. In fact, you and I both know that I should be sensible now. Since they decided to divorce, I have no real home. If I am still sensible, it won't be long before you, as the person who takes care of me, will hate me."

Hearing what Xu Yingying said, Xu Xiaofeng couldn't help but shed tears. It was indeed as Yingying said. At the beginning, she could tolerate her ignorance, but as time went on, she couldn't guarantee that as her aunt, she would have such great patience to wait for her to grow up.

Xu Xiaofeng couldn't help but reached out and touched Xu Yingying's hair, and said gently: "Yingying, you are a good child. Auntie is very happy to see that you are so sensible. But Auntie hopes that no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you must remember to tell Auntie, and we will face it together."

Xu Yingying nodded vigorously, tears of gratitude flashing in her eyes. She knew that only by talking about all the bad things at this moment could she get along better with her aunt.

Although I don’t know how the heroine in the original book dealt with all this, she was communicating with her cheap aunt in her own way.

"Auntie knows what you're thinking. Although I don't quite agree with you solving it on your own, since you've decided to do it yourself, I support you. But if you really can't solve it on your own, I hope you can let me help you."
