"Being thoughtful and being cunning are not exactly the same, right?" Xu Yingying asked back.

Deliberation generally refers to repeated, detailed, and thoughtful thinking before making a decision or taking action to seek the best solution or avoid potential risks. This type of thinking is based on rational, objective, and comprehensive analysis, aiming to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the decision or action. Deliberate people are often able to weigh the pros and cons, anticipate possible outcomes, and develop corresponding plans and strategies.

Being cunning, on the other hand, refers more to a person's skill in employing various tactics and strategies to achieve their goals or safeguard their own interests when handling relationships or matters. This mindset and behavior often carries a degree of subjectivity and utilitarianism, potentially involving speculation about others' motives, manipulation of situations, and the exploitation of information. Those with cunning tend to be more sensitive, resourceful, and cunning, but they can also be more prone to suspicion, jealousy, and defensiveness.

In real life, thoughtfulness and foresight may sometimes overlap. For example, in certain business negotiations or political games, both qualities may be required. However, they are fundamentally different concepts, with different emphases and manifestations.

Therefore, when evaluating a person, we should objectively analyze their behavior and thinking patterns based on the specific circumstances and background, avoiding conflating thoughtfulness with cunning. At the same time, we should also recognize that neither thoughtfulness nor cunning is an absolute advantage or disadvantage; rather, their pros and cons and impacts need to be assessed based on the specific circumstances. "After hearing Xu Yingying's question, Xiao Wu immediately searched for it and discovered that his wording was indeed somewhat inappropriate. So, he said, "Host, you're right."

Xu Yingying was reading a book and talking to Xiaowu, and it was already past nine o'clock. Li Tongxin felt that she had been looking at her cousin Yingying for a long time, and she felt sleepy, and her eyelids kept drooping.

Bang.

When Xu Yingying heard the sound, she turned around and saw Li Tongxin hit her head on the book on the bed.

"Ah, it hurts!" Li Tongxin rubbed his forehead.

"Are you sleepy?" Xu Yingying asked.

"No!" Li Tongxin rubbed her eyes and said.

Looking at Li Tongxin, who was obviously sleepy but pretending not to be sleepy, Xu Yingying said, "But I am a little sleepy."

"Ah? Cousin, are you sleepy? Are you going to bed?" Li Tongxin asked.

"Well, go to sleep." Xu Yingying covered the book and turned around to wait for Li Tongxin to put the books on the bed.

Li Tongxin put the book on the bedside table and moved back to her usual sleeping position.

Xu Yingying also got on the bed, turned off the lights and said to Li Tongxin, "Good night, cousin!"

"Cousin, good night!" Li Tongxin also learned to say good night like Xu Yingying.

But Li Tongxin also remembered the work her mother assigned to her. Although she was very sleepy, she still had to pay attention to her cousin Yingying beside her. So when Xu Yingying was not paying attention, Li Tongxin tilted her head slightly and glanced at her cousin from time to time.

Xu Yingying thought that Li Tongxin would go to bed and fall asleep as usual. So when Qin Shu came in to see if they had kicked off the quilt, Xu Yingying thought that Li Tongxin had fallen asleep next to her.

Xu Yingying entered the system space as usual while silently reciting in her mind.

After opening the diary, Xu Yingying wrote: After talking with cousin Tong Xin, the task progress has changed again. Will exchanging some growth experiences with cousin Tong Xin help the task subject gradually untie the knot?

It's also possible that, while communicating with Tongxin's cousin, the subject discovered that some of her previous experiences were misperceptions. Perhaps the truth wasn't as bleak as she'd imagined. Perhaps the cousin she thought her parents cared about was simply a reflection of her own perspective.

After summarizing the day's events, Xu Yingying also left the system space. Perhaps because she had been in the system space for a relatively short time today, it hadn't attracted much attention. However, Li Tongxin, who had been keeping a close eye on Xu Yingying, remained alert. From the moment Xu Yingying entered the space until she left, her eyes never left her.

To Li Tongxin's surprise, a unique smell filled the air whenever Xu Yingying entered or exited the space. This smell was so peculiar that it made Li Tongxin curious and sensitive. After all, this was the second time she had smelled the same smell, and she began to wonder if something had really happened.

However, when Li Tongxin took a closer look at her cousin Yingying, she found no noticeable changes. Her eyes were closed, and she lay flat on the bed, looking just like she was resting normally. This left Li Tongxin perplexed. Was there something wrong with her sense of smell? Or was she simply overly sensitive, leading to an illusion?

Li Tongxin tried hard to recall the peculiar smell, but she couldn't pinpoint its origin. She searched for clues, but everything around her seemed so calm and normal. Ultimately, she had to admit she might have been overthinking it, that it was just a random smell, without any deeper meaning. But deep down, she was still filled with doubt and confusion about this strange phenomenon.

As she thought about it, Li Tongxin also yawned. Her eyelids drooped and she gradually fell asleep.

After Xu Yingying left the system space, she quickly fell asleep.

This time, Xu Yingying grabbed a girl's hand and looked behind her from time to time. After confirming that no one was chasing her, Xu Yingying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did she know we were here?" said Xu Yingying in her dream.

"I don't know either." The girl whose hand was held by Xu Yingying answered.

"What should we do now?" Xu Yingying asked.

"I don't know either." the girl repeated.

Xu Yingying was speechless. How could this person be like this? He said he didn't know anything when asked.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Yan Wu appeared.

Only then did Xu Yingying realize that she had dreamed of Yan Wu again. If so, based on what Yan Wu had said before, the girl she was holding hands with should be Wang Ke?

Wang Ke also seemed a little uncomfortable when he saw Yan Wu appear.

Just when the two of them didn't know what to do, Yan Wu teleported in front of them. (It must be because she was in Xu Yingying's dream that she felt like she was teleporting.)

"What are you doing?" Yan Wu asked.

Xu Yingying remained silent, thinking that it would be okay if she didn't answer.
