The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Just as the two were about to fall into an awkward atmosphere again, Lin Xiumin came over and asked curiously, "What are you talking about? You're so engrossed."

Xu Yingying looked at Lin Xiumin, smiled slightly, and replied: "Nothing special, just chatting casually."

Lin Xiumin nodded and suggested, "Let's go back together after school. I have something I want to tell you."

After hearing this, Xu Yingying showed a delighted expression on her face and immediately responded: "Okay! I was just thinking about that."

Fan Weile, who was standing aside, was secretly happy. He had originally planned to go home with Xu Yingying after school, but he didn't expect that the two of them had already made an appointment. In this way, he didn't need to invite her again.

At this moment, Lin Xiumin suddenly remembered an important thing and hurriedly said to Xu Yingying: "This morning, the Chinese teacher emphasized that we should choose one of the four great classics and finish reading it this semester. Then, we should submit a reading note and a reading reflection at the end of the semester." Lin Xiumin looked at Xu Yingying with some worry, thinking that since she didn't come to class in the morning, she might not know about this task.

"Ah? Is that so! Then I have to find the books quickly. But I don't seem to have these books at home. It seems I can only wait until the weekend to go to the bookstore to buy them." Xu Yingying frowned and answered a little distressedly.

"Which book do you want to read? I have them all at home and I can lend them to you." Fan Weile suddenly interrupted.

When Lin Xiumin, who was standing, heard these words, she couldn't help but feel moved. She secretly sighed that Fan Weile was really considerate to Yingying and even offered to lend a book to Yingying.

"Don't you need to look at it yourself?" Xu Yingying opened her eyes wide and asked Fan Weile in confusion.

"I've finished reading it a long time ago!" Fan Weile answered without hesitation, with a confident smile on his face.

"Huh? You've read all four?" Xu Yingying's mouth dropped open in surprise, her eyes wide. She'd assumed Fan Weile would also need to read these books for his assignment, but she'd already finished it. Although she had a general understanding of the Four Great Classics, as the heroine of the original novel, she hadn't actually read them, so she feigned ignorance. However, the fact that a junior high student had already completed all four truly astonished and impressed Xu Yingying.

"Well, I finished reading them all when I had nothing to do at home," Fan Weile said calmly, as if it were a trivial matter. His tone was relaxed and natural, yet it carried the calmness and composure characteristic of a top student. Hearing his words, Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't know there was such a top student around me!" She felt a surge of admiration, and at the same time, she realized that she needed to study even harder to keep up with Fan Weile.

"Xiao Wu, this Fan Weile must be a top student." Xu Yingying thought that the heroine arranged by the author in the original book must not be a silly and sweet girl, but most likely a tall, rich and handsome man.

"Host, how do you know?" Xiao Wu felt that his host had the ability to predict the future.

"At his age, he has already finished reading the four great classics. They are not just four idle books. Is such a person just an ordinary student?" Xu Yingying directly summarized her findings.

"Are the Four Great Classics so impressive?" Xiao Wu didn't know how the host equated reading them with being a top student. However, Xiao Wu quietly searched for information about them. When Xiao Wu saw the feedback, he couldn't help but wonder if he shouldn't have questioned Xu Yingying's assumptions.

"Xiaowu, you can go and take a look when you have time. You can learn a lot from these books." Xu Yingying thought about it and felt that Xiaowu still needed to improve his reserves in this area.

"Which book do you want to borrow?" Fan Weile asked Xu Yingying who had been silent.

"Ah? I haven't decided yet. Which one do you think is suitable for me?" Xu Yingying blinked and asked the question directly to Fan Weile.

"Well... I personally think that "Journey to the West" attracts me more, but these four books actually have their own characteristics! Anyway, the Chinese teacher only requires you to read one book, so you can choose one first. If you can get into it, you can just read that one." Fan Weile explained with a smile, thinking that he already has these four books at home, and as long as Xu Yingying decides, he can lend them to her at any time.

"Oh, so that's how it is? Xiuxiu, which one are you planning to read?" Xu Yingying turned to Lin Xiumin and asked. "Me, I want to read 'Dream of the Red Chamber.' The characters and stories are very interesting. The other three are all about fighting and killing, and I'm not really into that kind of stuff," Lin Xiumin answered bluntly. She felt that 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' 'Water Margin,' and 'Journey to the West,' while classics, were a bit too violent and gory for her taste. 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' on the other hand, was different. It depicted a large family, and showcased the complexity of human nature and the trivialities of life, which she found fascinating.

"Do you have a copy of Dream of the Red Chamber at home?" Xu Yingying asked Lin Xiumin.

"I have one at home." Lin Xiumin replied.

"Why don't I read 'Dream of the Red Chamber' with you?" Xu Yingying said. She also had a keen interest in the novel, believing it offered a lot of inspiration and reflection. Furthermore, reading it with a close friend, where they could share their feelings and thoughts, would surely be even more enjoyable.

"Sure, we can discuss it together then." Lin Xiumin was also very happy. She also wanted to read the book with Yingying and discuss the contents of "Dream of the Red Chamber" with Yingying afterwards. It would definitely benefit her a lot. Moreover, their friendship would be deepened by their shared interests. Thinking of this, Lin Xiumin couldn't help but smile in anticipation.

"Then can you lend me "Dream of the Red Chamber"?" Xu Yingying turned her head and stared at Fan Weile with her big eyes, her eyes full of expectation and desire.

Fan Weile felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, but he nodded and replied seriously, "Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow and lend it to you."

Just when Xu Yingying was about to continue talking to Lin Xiumin, the class bell suddenly rang, interrupting Xu Yingying.

Lin Xiumin also quickly returned to her seat and prepared to start class.

At this time, Fan Weile saw that the teacher had not entered the classroom yet, so he took the opportunity to ask Xu Yingying in a low voice: "Why didn't you choose "Journey to the West"? " Fan Weile was very curious why Xu Yingying was so interested in "Dream of Red Mansions" instead of other classic literary works.
