The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Li Tongxin had never been to the zoo before, but she had heard classmates say that the monkeys and other small animals they saw at the zoo were very cute, and she had been itching to go there for a long time. Now that she had suggested going to the zoo, her mother immediately took her there.

Although Li Tongxin was very excited, she didn't dare to ask loudly: "Mom, are there really a lot of small animals in the zoo?"

"Yes, there are many, all kinds of small animals." Qin Shu replied gently.

Li Tongxin's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Wow, I'm so excited! Can I see elephants, giraffes, and monkeys?"

Qin Shu smiled and nodded: "Of course! You can see many other interesting animals in the zoo then."

Li Tongxin smiled happily. She couldn't wait to explore that fun place.

Seeing Li Tongxin's excited face, Xu Yingying couldn't help but ask curiously: "Cousin Tongxin, why do you like small animals so much?"

Li Tongxin blinked, her eyes twinkling. "Because they're all so cute, and each animal has its own unique characteristics and habits. I find it really interesting to observe them, and I can learn a lot."

Xu Yingying nodded thoughtfully. "I see. So what's your favorite animal?"

Li Tongxin answered without hesitation: "I like pandas the most! They are furry and look super cute. Elephants are also very interesting. They have long trunks and can be used for many things."

Hearing this, Xu Yingying couldn't help laughing: "Haha, you're right, the elephant's trunk is indeed amazing. But in addition to watching animals, we can also participate in some activities together, such as feeding small animals, watching animal performances, etc."

Li Tongxin's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new world. Her voice trembled with excitement. Li Tongxin said, "Wow, that sounds great! I must try it." After that, she couldn't wait to pull Xu Yingying to the animal activity area, ready to interact with the animals.

Qin Shu watched the two of them chattering, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile on her face. In Qin Shu's opinion, this outing would not only help Xu Yingying relax, but also enhance the relationship between the two children. Thinking of this, Qin Shu felt very warm in her heart. The reason why she agreed to let Li Tongxin come to the zoo was mainly because she was worried about Xu Yingying's condition two days earlier. Qin Shu felt that taking Xu Yingying to the zoo for an outing, letting her enjoy the beauty of nature and feel the warmth of family, might help Xu Yingying's condition.

Of course, taking the children out occasionally is also a happy thing for Qin Shu.

"Look at them both, they are still children after all." Qin Shu said to Xu Xiaofeng with emotion.

Xu Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, her eyes falling on the two children in front of her, and she said softly, "Yes, Yingying feels more alive to me now. She was always too sensible before, which made me feel that Yingying became a little too mature because of her parents' affairs."

Qin Shu's heart softened upon hearing this. It reminded him of his own childhood, when he always tried to act like an adult, wanting to take on more responsibilities. Now, seeing his daughter leading his niece in carefree play, Qin Shu sincerely hoped that Xu Yingying could maintain this innocence and happiness for a while longer, and not have to face the realities of society too soon.

"Maybe it's because of Yingying's family environment that she learned to be independent and strong too early. But sometimes, I also hope that Yingying can release her inner innocence as much as Tongxin." Qin Shu sighed softly, with a trace of heartache in his eyes.

Xu Xiaofeng patted Qin Shu's shoulder and comforted her, "Yingying and Tongxin will grow up slowly. All we have to do is give them enough love and support so that they can move forward healthily and happily on their path to growth."

Qin Shu nodded gratefully. She also knew how important it was to have a family that understood and supported her. Qin Shu believed that as long as the family was united, no matter what difficulties they encountered, they could overcome them. And her family would always be Xu Yingying's backer.

Xu Yingying was inspired by Li Tongxin's enthusiasm for the zoo. She initially thought the zoo was boring, but from the moment she prepared for the trip, Li Tongxin made her realize that it really didn't matter where she went; what mattered was being with her family. This made Xu Yingying realize that happiness can be so simple; as long as she's with her family, she can find happiness anywhere.

"Xiao Wu, I have always regarded the people in this mission world as paper people, but they have let me know time and time again that they are flesh and blood and have thoughts. They have helped me rediscover my original intention as a human being." Xu Yingying said to Xiao Wu with great emotion.

"Host, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand." Although Xiao Wu had been observing the movements of Xu Yingying and Li Tongxin, he didn't have too many thoughts.

"It's okay, I was just saying something." Xu Yingying knew it would be hard for Xiao Wu to resonate with her. After all, she had only just come to this realization, and Xiao Wu was just an intelligent system.

Xu Yingying was pulled by Li Tongxin's arm and walked into the monkey mountain area of the zoo. Li Tongxin looked around curiously, looking at the lively and cute monkeys.

“Wow, cousin Yingying, look, there is a monkey of this color? I thought all monkeys were yellow!” Li Tongxin shouted excitedly, pointing her finger at a special monkey.

Xu Yingying followed her instructions and was surprised to find that the monkey's fur was like a zebra, black and white, very unique. Xu Yingying couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's amazing! Monkeys have such colors!"

Then, following the instructions, they saw monkeys of various colors and shapes. Some were completely black, with only a patch of white hair on their faces; others were a shimmering golden yellow. These different monkey species amazed Xu Yingying, who was filled with curiosity and love for these little creatures.

Li Tongxin ran around excitedly, constantly pointing out different monkeys and introducing them to Xu Yingying, while Xu Yingying listened patiently, exclaiming from time to time.

Li Tongxin saw different kinds of monkeys and asked, "Why do these monkeys look so different?"

Xu Yingying thought for a moment and replied, "Because their ancestors faced survival challenges, they had to mutate to survive." Xu Yingying remembered learning about species diversity when she was studying biology. Li Tongxin's question perfectly matched this knowledge point.
