The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

"Well, I still don't quite understand." Li Tongxin frowned and shook her head.

"Maybe you are still young. When you grow up and experience more things, you will slowly figure it out." Xu Xiaofeng gently stroked Li Tongxin's hair, her eyes full of tenderness and care.

Her words flowed into Li Tongxin's heart like a warm current, making him feel extremely warm. At the same time, it also temporarily stopped the dispute between them.

"Aunt, please pass the book to me." At this time, Xu Yingying on the side suddenly spoke.

"Okay, here you go." Xu Xiaofeng smiled and handed the "Dream of Red Mansions" in her hand to Xu Yingying.

After Xu Yingying took the book, she couldn't wait to turn the pages and immersed herself in the world of the book. Li Tongxin fell into deep thought, thinking about the conversation just now and her understanding of life.

Qin Shu, who had been silent and quietly observing the interaction between the three people, was also attracted by the "Dream of the Red Chamber" in Xu Yingying's hands. She couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Qin Shu only attended junior high school as a child before family commitments forced her to work. Unlike Teresa Teng, she didn't receive the same high-quality education. Listening to Teresa Teng explaining the Four Great Classics to her daughter and niece, Qin Shu realized that while she knew them, she had never read the original works. Her understanding came solely from television dramas. She had no idea what the books were about. Whenever she watched a compelling storyline, the episode always ended at its most captivating moment.

Although she might not be able to read the text in the book, she could at least look for any film or television productions of Dream of the Red Chamber available for viewing, so that she could understand their discussion.

Qin Shu pondered this idea secretly.

It was because Xu Yingying asked Li Tongxin to bring her copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber" that the four of them fell into their own contemplation.

Xu Yingying continued reading from the chapter she had read last time, recalling Aunt Xu's views on the three main characters in the book.

Xu Yingying had only read the first few chapters, and Lin Daiyu had just been brought into the Jia residence. Xue Baochai hadn't appeared yet, and Xu Yingying wanted to read the novel from an outsider's perspective.

Li Tongxin wondered why the characters in this book were so complicated. Couldn’t they be simpler and more direct?

Xu Xiaofeng was caught up in the experience of reading and experiencing "Dream of the Red Chamber." Revisiting the book in the context of her own life experiences over the years, the experience was completely different. Now, thinking back to that time when she and her friend argued over different favorite characters, was it a good thing or a bad thing? There were times when she would recall the days of perfect understanding she had with this friend. But after that incident, the two of us became strangers. We never crossed paths again. After starting work, I encountered more people and things in society, but my friends gradually dwindled.

Qin Shu looked up at the sky, noticing it was gradually darkening, signaling the approach of nightfall. She turned to look at the three people beside her; they all seemed lost in their own thoughts. Although she felt reluctant to interrupt their thoughts, considering how late it was, Qin Shu decided to speak up and remind them.

"Xiaofeng, Yingying, Tongxin. Look, the sun is about to set. Should we pack up and go home?" Qin Shu said softly, trying to wake the three from their own world.

Qin Shu's words were like a gentle breeze, bringing the three of them back to their senses. They all raised their heads and looked towards the sunset in the distance.

"The sun's setting so soon!" Li Tongxin sighed with a hint of reluctance. She looked up at the sky, her eyes flickering with longing. Li Tongxin wished time would pass more slowly, that this beautiful moment could linger, that the sunset's afterglow could linger a little longer. However, time passed relentlessly, the sun gradually set, and night was about to fall.

"Then I'll go back first." Xu Xiaofeng glanced at the sky and said to Qin Shu. Xu Xiaofeng knew that night was coming and it was time for her to go home.

"Xiaofeng, would you like to go back with us for dinner?" Qin Shu invited enthusiastically. She looked at Xu Xiaofeng with a sincere smile on her face. Qin Shu felt that Xu Xiaofeng might feel lonely if she went back to eat alone, so she wanted to invite her to have dinner together and enjoy the warmth of family.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sister Qin Shu. I've already troubled you all day. I'll just go back and make something to eat." Xu Xiaofeng declined politely, a hint of politeness in her tone. She didn't want to cause trouble for Qin Shu, and she also wanted to quietly think about what she had thought of today.

"Xiaofeng, don't be so formal." Qin Shu said with a smile, his eyes revealing sincerity and kindness.

"Sister Qin Shu, I'll come to your place next time." Xu Xiaofeng said embarrassedly. She felt Qin Shu's enthusiasm and kindness, and her heart was deeply touched. Although she declined the invitation this time, she looked forward to the next opportunity to go to Qin Shu's house for dinner together.

"That's a deal, you must come next time," Qin Shu continued. She smiled and nodded, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Li Tongxin asked Qin Shu while she was cleaning up. Her attention shifted to dinner, and she was looking forward to the delicious food.

Qin Shu replied with a smile: "Don't worry, we have your favorite dishes tonight!" Hearing this, Li Tongxin smiled happily and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.

When Qin Shu brought Xu Yingying and Li Tongxin home, Yangguang came out to greet them, wagging his tail vigorously.

Xu Yingying looked at Yangguang and said to Li Tongxin, "Yangguang has only been here for a week, and he already knows that you are his owners." There was a hint of surprise and joy in her voice, as if she admired the cleverness of this little puppy very much.

Upon hearing this, Li Tongxin's face immediately broke into a brilliant smile, her eyes sparkling with pride and satisfaction. She raised her chin and said triumphantly, "Of course! I play with Yangguang every day and take good care of him. How could he not recognize me as his master?" Her tone was filled with confidence and dominance, as if she were announcing to the world the special and intimate relationship between her and Yangguang.

The puppy Yangguang was happily circling around them, wagging his tail and purring. His eyes revealed an eager desire, as if urging them to notice him quickly and give him more attention and interaction.
