The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

As soon as Qin Shu and his wife finished their discussion, Xu Yingying, who had just returned to her room after taking a shower, found that Li Tongxin was very strange tonight.

"Xiaowu, is it my imagination? Why do I feel like Cousin Tongxin is always staring at me?" Xu Yingying felt that ever since she entered the room, no matter where she went, she felt like she was being watched. Besides herself, Li Tongxin was the only one in the room. It must be those big eyes of hers.

"Host, Li Tongxin has indeed been staring at you." Xiao Wu told Xu Yingying from a third-party perspective.

Knowing it wasn't her own illusion, Xu Yingying looked at Li Tongxin and asked, "Tongxin, why aren't you watching TV tonight?" Li Tongxin placed a book on the bed, seemingly reading. But in fact, the book remained on the same page.

Afraid of being discovered by Xu Yingying, Li Tongxin replied: "What's so interesting about TV? Today I heard you and Aunt Xu talking about the Four Great Classics. I think I should read more. Hehe."

Seeing Li Tongxin, who didn't look like she was studying at all, Xu Yingying knew there must be something she didn't know. But if she asked directly, she probably wouldn't tell her directly. So what should she do? Xu Yingying started discussing it with Xiaowu again.

"Xiao Wu, do you think cousin Tong Xin has something she wants to ask me but is too embarrassed to ask?" Xu Yingying said.

"Host, there is indeed such a possibility." Xiao Wu replied.

"But I can't imagine what she would be embarrassed to talk about? From what I know about cousin Tong Xin's personality, she doesn't seem like the type of person who would hesitate," Xu Yingying continued.

"But there are always things that are too embarrassing to talk about." Xiaowu's mechanical answer made Xu Yingying feel that Xiaowu did not give her any constructive advice.

At this time, Xu Yingying's daze was also seen by Li Tongxin. The little man in Li Tongxin's heart had already started talking to himself: "Cousin Yingying is dazed again? What is cousin Yingying thinking about? How long will cousin Yingying be in a daze? Cousin Yingying..."

After Xu Yingying finished her discussion with Xiao Wu, she turned to look at Li Tongxin, who was looking at her without blinking. When Xu Yingying suddenly turned her head and their eyes met, Li Tongxin showed a rare hint of panic.

Xu Yingying thought about it and decided not to expose Li Tongxin. She would ask her when she figured it out. There was no need for her to ask her proactively. So Xu Yingying pretended not to notice the panic, walked to the desk in Li Tongxin's room, sat down, opened the book "Dream of Red Mansions" and continued to read.

Seeing that cousin Yingying went to read without saying anything, Li Tongxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, otherwise, if cousin Yingying asked, she really didn't know how to answer. After all, this was a task given to her by her mother, and she was not sure whether she could tell cousin Yingying.

At this moment, she felt like a sneaky thief, always on edge, afraid that her cousin Yingying would ask her a question.

Xu Yingying thought that the sneaky and furtive Li Tongxin would definitely ask her questions, so she decided to ignore her curious gaze for the time being. So, Xu Yingying immersed herself in the world of books.

However, as she read, Xu Yingying couldn't help but feel a strange feeling. The protagonist in the book didn't like reading, but he loved playing with girls. This character setting made Xu Yingying a little confused. However, each character setting was probably established to express the author's ideas, not to please every reader.

Li Tongxin, who had been paying attention to Xu Yingying reading, saw that Xu Yingying's face was sometimes dark, and sometimes she frowned. The constantly changing expression made Li Tongxin a little worried, so she asked, "Cousin Yingying, what's wrong?"

Xu Yingying was suddenly stunned by Li Tongxin's question and turned to look at Li Tongxin without answering.

Li Tongxin looked at Xu Yingying who turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yingying thought that cousin Tong Xin finally couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to ask her, so she replied: "I should be the one asking you what's wrong. I'm reading a book, do you have anything to ask me?"

"No, no, I just saw you frowning, cousin, so I asked you what was wrong." Li Tongxin looked at Xu Yingying and explained.

"I just don't quite understand some of the plot in the book." Xu Yingying felt a little bored when she heard Li Tongxin's question. She thought her cousin Tongxin was going to tell her about her troubles. But it turned out that she was only speaking because she was frowning. In the end, Xu Yingying could only sigh.

Li Tongxin also relaxed after hearing what her cousin Yingying said, "So that's how it is."

The two returned to their previous state of doing their own things. Li Tongxin pretended to be reading a book but was actually looking at Xu Yingying. Xu Yingying clearly felt that Li Tongxin was looking at her, but pretended not to know and continued to look at the book in her hand.

Xu Yingying read for a while and said to Xiaowu secretly, "I already had a general idea of the content of this book, but after reading the original text, I don't know what to say. I don't want to continue reading."

"Ah? Host, what's going on with you?" Xiao Wu had never read the book before. He just watched Xu Yingying's expression changing as she read it, and thought the book was very interesting.

"Maybe I don't like this type of book very much!" said Xu Yingying.

"Isn't this one of the four great classics?" Xiaowu asked.

"I'm not saying this book is bad, I just don't like reading this type of book. It makes people feel tired," said Xu Yingying.

"Are you tired?" Xiaowu asked again.

"I just feel that everyone in the book has his or her own thoughts. I don't really like this feeling. It's as if I have to look dozens of steps ahead before taking each step." Xu Yingying thinks she is a straightforward person, and reading books with so many thoughts makes her tired.

Xiao Wu listened to Xu Yingying's description and did a quick search. He asked, "Host, is it because you are straightforward and can't stand others beating around the bush?"

Xu Yingying was exposed by Xiao Wu's words and said awkwardly: "Uh! It's not wrong for you to say that."

"Host, sometimes, being more thoughtful is not a bad thing." Xiao Wu said while waiting for Xu Yingying's reply.

"I'm not saying that being too cunning is a bad thing. I just feel that if I were to be too cunning, my brain would explode." Xu Yingying said exaggeratedly.

"Host, maybe it will be fine once you get used to it." Xiao Wu replied.

"I have to think like this about everything, and spend most of the day weighing this and that. When will it end?" Xu Yingying didn't understand why she had to waste time doing this.

"But wouldn't it be better to think it over carefully?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.
