The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

"Sister Xiaofen, thank you. I never thought you'd say that." Xu Yingying was touched. Although she and Chen Xiaofen and the other two were acquaintances, they only met and chatted in the cafeteria. The longest they had stayed together was when they went to Ma Jiajia's house to cook on the weekend.

Xu Yingying could feel the sincerity in Chen Xiaofen's words; she was not the kind of person who just talked.

"I've told you that friends don't need to say thank you. Have you forgotten?" Ma Jiajia continued in a preaching tone, trying to free Xu Yingying from this awkward atmosphere.

"Yingying, Jiajia is right. Don't you consider us as friends?" Yao Chenxi also said something in this gap.

"But if you don't say thank you, I really don't know what to say." Xu Yingying's eyes were red with emotion as she looked at the three of them.

Fan Weile, who had been listening to the conversation between Chen Xiaofen and the other two and Xu Yingying, also felt that what he had just said was a bit too much. The three people in front of him were sincere about Xu Yingying. However, if he apologized for what he had just said, it would seem that he was stealing the limelight.

"Okay, let's go back first! In my heart." Chen Xiaofen said with her left hand making a fist and placed it on her chest.

Xu Yingying didn't say anything this time, just nodded.

After Chen Xiaofen and the other two left, Xu Yingying and the other two also prepared to pack up their plates and return to the classroom to rest.

On the way back, Lin Xiumin asked Xu Yingying: "Yingying, why didn't you say anything about what Xiaofen and the others said just now?"

Xu Yingying frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she replied, "Xiu Xiu, this matter has nothing to do with them. It's better not to involve so many people."

Fan Weile, who was walking nearby, also heard the conversation. He stopped and said in agreement, "Yingying is right. This matter shouldn't be involving too many people. The more people there are, the more complicated it will become. And Xu Yingying, who is at the center of this incident, will be even more difficult to move."

Lin Xiumin nodded, not quite understanding, but still a little confused. She looked at Xu Yingying and asked puzzledly, "But if we don't tell them, how will they know what happened?"

Xu Yingying gently patted Lin Xiumin's shoulder and comforted her, "Xiuxiu, sometimes, it's better not to know. If we tell them about it, it might cause them unnecessary trouble and distress. Besides, I don't want to implicate too many innocent people in this matter."

After listening to Xu Yingying's words, Lin Xiumin still had many doubts in her heart and could not fully understand the deep meaning of them, but she ultimately chose to trust Xu Yingying's judgment. After all, Xu Yingying has always been an intelligent and rational person, and every decision she makes must be carefully considered. Therefore, Lin Xiumin firmly stated: "I don't understand so much, anyway, I will just listen to what you say and do it!"

However, hearing Lin Xiumin's obedient words made Xu Yingying worried. She was worried that Lin Xiumin's overly submissive personality needed to change. So, she said to Lin Xiumin seriously, "Xiuxiu, you should just be yourself. You don't have to listen to me in everything."

Lin Xiumin was confused by Xu Yingying's sudden words. She couldn't help asking, "Yingying, what do you mean?" She felt as if she had become stupid after lunch, her thinking was slow, and she found it difficult to understand what Xu Yingying said.

Fan Weile listened in on the conversation between Xu Yingying and Lin Xiumin from the next room. Initially, he thought there was nothing wrong with Lin Xiumin following Xu Yingying's advice. But Xu Yingying's response was unexpected, leaving him lost in thought. Fan Weile wanted to ask why, but Lin Xiumin had already done it for him. He then waited for Xu Yingying's response.

After a long while, Xu Yingying spoke slowly, word by word: "Xiu Xiu, maybe you may not understand what I am saying now. But I hope that one day when you recall it again, you will be able to understand what I said."

After hearing what Xu Yingying said, Lin Xiumin tilted her head and then motioned Xu Yingying to continue.

"The most important thing for us is ourselves. I don't need to explain that, right? Secondly, we can't always habitually delegate decisions to others." Xu Yingying didn't know how to express what she wanted to say to Lin Xiumin. If she said too much, she was afraid she wouldn't understand. If she didn't say anything, she was afraid she'd get hurt in the future.

"What does this have to do with what I just said, 'I'll listen to you'?" Lin Xiumin didn't quite understand what Xu Yingying meant, but she managed to make out that the two things should be unrelated.

Fan Weile also only understood a little bit of what he heard, but he could still understand that there was a connection between the two. At this moment, he was thinking that he seemed to understand Xu Yingying's words better than Xu Yingying's good friends. Knowing this fact made Fan Weile feel a little happy, and he felt that he seemed to be closer to Xu Yingying's heart than Lin Xiumin.

"Xiu Xiu, we are all independent individuals. Everyone has his or her own ideas. Just like I can give you some advice, but in the end you should think things through and make a choice on your own. Instead of just listening to what I or others say." Xu Yingying expressed what was in her mind, but when she saw Lin Xiumin beside her, she knew that the other party didn't understand what she wanted to say at all.

How should I tell Lin Xiumin? Xu Yingying kept thinking about this question.

"Student Xu Yingying probably wants to tell you not to habitually follow what others say, as this will make it easy for you to fall into other people's traps." Fan Weile on the side had already heard what Xu Yingying wanted to say.

Lin Xiumin looked at Fan Weile in confusion, then turned to look at Xu Yingying, as if asking whether what Fan Weile said was what she wanted to express.

"Well, that's about right!" Xu Yingying muttered to herself, wondering if Fan Weile's way of expression was a little too straightforward? Would it have a counterproductive effect? However, since he had already said it, it all depended on whether Lin Xiumin could understand and accept it.

"Yingying, so this is what you mean. Why don't you just say it directly? You put it in such a complicated way just now that I was stunned!" Lin Xiumin suddenly realized and conveyed the information she had understood from Fan Weile's words to Xu Yingying.

"Uh?..." Xu Yingying was speechless. Was it really because her explanation was too complicated that Lin Xiumin hadn't understood it clearly? "Xiaowu, why is this happening?" Xu Yingying was about to roar inwardly.

"Host, is there anything I can help you with?" Xiao Wu came out and replied in time.
