The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

"I'm the one who really lacks the courage." Lin Xiumin said firmly. Ever since she heard Xu Yingying's apology that day, Lin Xiumin has been thinking about what happened that day. Is it really Xu Yingying who was wrong as she always thought?

Xu Yingying paused after hearing Lin Xiumin's words, thinking about what she should say next to make Lin Xiumin take the initiative to tell her what happened to them at that time.

"I blamed everything on you and tried to hide my cowardice." Lin Xiumin slowly spoke out the words that were suppressed in her heart, word by word. After saying that, Lin Xiumin herself felt a lot more relaxed.

"You should blame me, I didn't..." Xu Yingying responded to Lin Xiumin's words, but was interrupted by Lin Xiumin.

"No, I've thought about it a lot these past few days, and I've always blamed all the mistakes on you. But in fact, I know very well that everything you did at that time was just to get me out of the predicament first, and you faced those things alone. It was me who refused to admit my weakness, and after the matter was over, I still blamed all the problems on you. I'm sorry, I don't know why I was like this..." Lin Xiumin felt more and more embarrassed to continue.

Xu Yingying shook her head, sighed softly, and said, "That was my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you. After all, this is the first time for us to experience something like this, so it's understandable that we don't know how to handle it or don't handle it well enough."

Hearing Xu Yingying's words of comfort, Lin Xiumin slowly raised her head and cast her gaze upon Xu Yingying. For some reason, Xu Yingying seemed a little unfamiliar at this moment, but upon closer inspection, she felt that nothing had changed. Her bright eyes shone with a reassuring light, a light that made people feel warm and friendly.

Lin Xiumin said softly, "Thank you." There was a hint of self-blame and apology in her tone.

"Don't be so polite. I stayed there completely of my own accord." Xu Yingying lowered her head slightly, thinking about how to express herself without revealing any flaws.

Lin Xiumin nodded and said with a smile, "Okay then, I won't say those polite words like thank you or sorry anymore."

The two smiled at each other, seemingly letting go of the barriers in their hearts. Although the hurt they had caused could not be completely erased, they decided to move on and rebuild their trust and friendship.

By this time, both of them had reached the bicycle shed and unlocked their respective bikes. They pushed their bikes towards the school gate while continuing to chat intermittently.

After leaving the school gate, the two of them rode their bicycles in the same direction. It was then that Xu Yingying realized that Lin Xiumin's house was in the same direction as hers. Xu Yingying thought to herself, "What a coincidence!" She couldn't help but think about the relationship between the original heroine and Lin Xiumin.

Judging from Lin Xiumin's words and the direction the two were riding their bikes, Xu Yingying felt that she could already guess some information about the relationship between the heroine of the original book and Lin Xiumin, but further confirmation was needed before a conclusion could be drawn.

"Yingying, can we still be friends?" Lin Xiumin suddenly asked. This question surprised Xu Yingying. She didn't expect Lin Xiumin to ask it so directly. Xu Yingying immediately replied, "We have always been friends!" Her tone was firm and sincere, without the slightest hesitation.

Xu Yingying's unhesitating answer made Lin Xiumin very happy. She knew that Xu Yingying didn't want to be friends with her for any other reason, but she really wanted to be friends with her. This made Lin Xiumin more certain that she had misunderstood Xu Yingying before, and made her realize that her previous worries were unnecessary.

Lin Xiumin smiled happily, her bright smile as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring. Her laughter was crisp and sweet, like the most beautiful birdsong in spring, intoxicating. Xu Yingying looked at Lin Xiumin's smile, "Xiaowu, it's done," she said to Xiaowu in her heart.

"Host, have you successfully penetrated Lin Xiumin's heart?" Xiao Wu asked excitedly.

"The plan is currently proceeding smoothly as I expected." Xu Yingying replied.

The two rode their bicycles slowly, a gentle breeze ruffling their hair, bringing a cool breeze. They passed through bustling streets, feeling the hustle and bustle of the city. Along the way, Lin Xiumin and Xu Yingying chatted and laughed, sharing each other's joys and troubles.

After passing a few blocks, Lin Xiumin suddenly stopped her bike at an intersection and shouted to Xu Yingying behind her: "Thank you for still treating me as a friend. See you tomorrow!"

After saying that, Lin Xiumin turned and left, leaving behind a figure that gradually walked away. Xu Yingying looked in the direction where Lin Xiumin left, her heart filled with warmth and emotion.

Although she went to find Lin Xiumin with a purpose, Xu Yingying also sincerely regarded Lin Xiumin as a friend. Soon Xu Yingying would find that this friendship had a certain degree of influence on her completion of the mission.

"Host, you are amazing. Things have taken a turn for the better in an instant." Xiao Wu didn't know how Xu Yingying did it, and didn't say anything. He just took the initiative to start a conversation and reconciled with Lin Xiumin.

"Xiao Wu, you don't understand their relationship. There is no irreconcilable conflict between Lin Xiumin and the heroine of the original book." Xu Yingying said slowly.

After listening to Lin Xiumin's words, Xu Yingying could roughly conclude that something was unsettled between the two of them. Each was waiting for the other to speak first. As long as one person spoke first, the other would be able to step aside. Sometimes, in interpersonal relationships, everyone places too much importance on their own reputation. This is why they ultimately cannot remain friends.

"Then host, how do you know Lin Xiumin's attitude towards the heroine of the original book?" Xiao Wu asked puzzledly.

"You can tell from the tone of her voice just now. Although she is still a little angry, she is not as hostile as before. This shows that she doesn't actually want to completely break up with the heroine of the original book." Xu Yingying explained.

"So that's how it is. Host, you're very observant. But I still have a question. What role did Lin Xiumin play in those previous events?" Xiao Wu continued to ask.

"Well... I think she was just paying attention to how things were going but didn't get involved," Xu Yingying replied.

"I see. So what should we do next? Do I still need to keep an eye on Lin Xiumin's every move?" Xiao Wu exclaimed.

"Yes, I still need to think about what to do next. But tomorrow I think you can pay attention to whether Yuan Xiaoling is with her." Xu Yingying said lightly.
