The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

"No, I was just too tired over the weekend and didn't get enough rest. And today I had another day of classes. After school, I just wanted to lie down, and I fell asleep." Xu Yingying simply attributed her exhaustion to the busy days ahead. She wondered: Should I tell Aunt Xu that I'd entered a dream to recollect my memories? Even though she was here on a mission, she had to keep these extraordinary events secret from the characters in the book, lest the book's contents be irreversibly damaged.

"Is that all?" Xu Xiaofeng asked, looking at Xu Yingying in front of her. She always felt that something was wrong with her niece, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was. Maybe she was overthinking it, after all, Xu Yingying had been very busy and tired recently.

"That's it!" Xu Yingying insisted. She didn't dare look Aunt Xu in the eye, afraid she'd see through her. She silently prayed in her heart: I hope Aunt Xu won't notice anything unusual, and that everything will return to normal.

"It seems that you are really too tired. Eat more vegetables later to replenish your body." After saying that, he urged Xu Yingying to sit down and eat quickly.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Auntie." Xu Yingying immediately echoed Xu Xiaofeng's words. She looked at Auntie Xu with gratitude, her heart warmed. Although she wasn't the heroine of the original book, the feeling of having family members by her side caring about her no matter what happened was incredibly happy.

But the scene she had just dreamed of was still in her mind. After thinking about it, Xu Yingying suddenly felt that she should ask Aunt Xu in front of her. So she put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, looked up at Xu Xiaofeng, and said, "Aunt, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure!" Xu Xiaofeng replied while eating.

Xu Yingying took a deep breath, organized her words, and continued, "That's right, there's a boy in our class."

When Xu Xiaofeng heard the word "male classmate", she immediately interrupted: "What? Yingying, you..." Before she finished speaking, Xu Yingying said: "Ah?" and looked at her with her head tilted.

Xu Xiaofeng frowned after hearing this and asked with concern: "Yingying, do you like a boy in your class?"

"No." Xu Yingying was so angry that she laughed at Aunt Xu's idea.

Xu Yingying recalled the dream and said, "Aunt, please listen to me first."

"Okay, okay, go ahead." Xu Xiaofeng knew that she had misunderstood and let Xu Yingying continue.

"Today I heard from my classmates that a boy's family bought him a new bicycle, but he didn't look happy...so the classmates all thought this boy was quite strange." Xu Yingying first told the content of her dream during lunch break from the perspective of a classmate.

"Aren't you happy to have a new bicycle?" Xu Xiaofeng asked after hearing this.

"Yes, because this boy used to ride a rusty bicycle to school, but now he has a brand new bicycle, but he doesn't look happy at all." Xu Yingying thought for a while and added.

"So, Yingying, what do you want to ask?" Xu Xiaofeng listened to Xu Yingying's description but did not hear her question.

After hearing Aunt Xu's words, Xu Yingying didn't know what she wanted to ask. When she was about to ask Aunt Xu, it was because she really didn't know who to ask. Compared to Xiao Wu, Aunt Xu was a better person to ask.

"Aunt, don't you think this male classmate is weird?" Xu Yingying said after thinking for a long time.

"It's a bit strange, right?" Xu Xiaofeng said lightly.

"Aunt, your answer is so strange." Xu Yingying didn't expect her aunt to say this in this tone.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xiaofeng asked.

"No, I just thought that you, aunt, would agree with me. But your answer seemed to mean something else?" Xu Yingying hoped that Xu Xiaofeng could express her inner thoughts so that she could find out whether she was too confused by the story.

"Did you hear it from your classmates?" Xu Xiaofeng ignored Xu Yingying's question and raised a question from another angle.

"Yes!" Xu Yingying thought about it and felt that it should be so.

"You are not the person involved, nor the first eyewitness to see the incident. You can't even be sure whether what they said is true. Who gave this strange definition? Or who guided you to make such a judgment?" Xu Xiaofeng spoke without pausing, but Xu Yingying was stunned.

"Yingying, sometimes, when we listen to what others say, we can't just listen with our ears, we have to listen with our heart, okay?" Xu Xiaofeng said earnestly.

"Huh?" Xu Yingying was completely confused. What did Aunt Xu mean by this sudden remark? Was she asking this question?

"What don't you understand?" Xu Xiaofeng asked back.

"No, is this what I was talking about at the beginning?" Xu Yingying's head was full of question marks. Why did she feel that she could have sorted out her dreams before asking Aunt Xu. Now all these dreams have become a mess?

"The story about the male classmate you just mentioned has been relayed by two or three people before you told it to me. I won't say whether this male classmate is really as 'weird' as you said. Even if this male classmate you mentioned is really as 'weird' as you said, do you think that the label of 'weird' was given by you, the people who relayed it?" Xu Xiaofeng gave her own opinions on the story just told by Xu Yingying.

Xu Xiaofeng's views also made Xu Yingying realize that she might be watching things happen from a God's perspective in her dream, but she didn't really see the essence of things?

"Do you understand?" Xu Xiaofeng asked Xu Yingying who was thinking.

"Aunt, I seem to understand what you said, but I also seem to not understand." Xu Yingying seemed to have found a way out from Xu Xiaofeng's words, but it seemed that there was more than one way out. As a result, she didn't know where to go.

"Everyone has their own opinions on everything. You don't have to understand other people's opinions. What matters is how you see it yourself," concluded Teresa Teng.

"What do I think?" Xu Yingying repeated these six words.

"Well, think carefully about what I just said. Maybe you can find the answer you want." Xu Xiaofeng's answer made Xu Yingying feel that she seemed to have always underestimated Aunt Xu who took care of the heroine of the original book.

"After asking the questions, eat your meal well." Xu Xiaofeng said as she picked up some food for Xu Yingying.

"Ah? Oh, I understand." Xu Yingying answered while eating, thinking about what Xu Xiaofeng had just said.
