"But I really like you." Xu Yingying's confession made Ma Jiajia's mind stuck for a moment.

Ma Jiajia never dreamed that Xu Yingying would say this, but Xu Yingying continued her speech.

"Of the three of you, Sister Xiaofen is obviously someone you don't want to mess with, and Sister Xi is always silent, and I don't know what she's thinking. Only Sister Jiajia has been so warm and kind to me in the cafeteria from last night until just now."

"No, you misunderstood them. Xiaofen and Chenxi both have a good impression of you, but maybe you just met them and you haven't noticed it yet. Although they haven't said it, they also want to get along well with you." Ma Jiajia immediately spoke well of her two friends when she heard Xu Yingying's words.

"Look, you always protect your friends first. This is you, Sister Jiajia, you value the relationship between us very much. I said I like you sincerely, because your sincerity has also infected me." Xu Yingying's words made Ma Jiajia feel a little embarrassed and her face blushed.

"Sister Jiajia, you should remember what we talked about in the ice room last night, right? You both told me about your family situations when facing someone you just met. But you should have noticed that I didn't tell her about my family situation. It's not that I don't want to, but I'm embarrassed to say it. I'm staying with my aunt now. My parents are divorced, and I'm a child from a divorced family." Xu Yingying told Ma Jiajia in front of her in one breath that she came from a divorced family.

Ma Jiajia was also surprised by what Xu Yingying said. She opened her mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time. She knew what a divorced family meant to a child. She didn't know how to comfort Xu Yingying. She could only look at her silently, hoping that she could feel her care and support.

After a while, Ma Jiajia finally came to her senses. She gently patted Xu Yingying on the shoulder and said, "Yingying, this is not your fault. Everyone has their own life experiences, and we won't look down on you because of this! Didn't I also say last night that I come from a single-parent family? Although my parents are not divorced, they have separated a long time ago. I am actually not much different from you."

"Sister Jiajia, it turns out we are both the same." After Xu Yingying said this, she felt that what she said was inappropriate and was thinking about what to say to ask Ma Jiajia not to think too much.

Ma Jiajia smiled and said, "Yingying, don't worry too much about what others think. Just be yourself. And compared to your parents' situation, I would rather my parents were divorced too."

After hearing what Ma Jiajia said, Xu Yingying looked at her gratefully and said, "Sister Jiajia, thank you. I have always been afraid to tell others about this, afraid that they would laugh at me or sympathize with me. But after telling you today, I feel a lot more relaxed."

Ma Jiajia still hadn't reacted. But Xu Yingying continued, "It wasn't until last night when my aunt came to school looking for me and alerted the teachers and the police that I finally thought it through. We shouldn't be responsible for our parents' decisions."

Ma Jiajia was confused by Xu Yingying's sudden turn of events.

"Sister Jiajia, let me say the same thing as before. Our life belongs to us, so don't live for others." Xu Yingying said it again, hoping that with so much preparation this time, Ma Jiajia would understand her painstaking efforts.

Ma Jiajia was lost in her own thoughts for a moment and had no intention of saying anything. Xu Yingying felt that Ma Jiajia needed some time to think things through, so she began to analyze the situation with Xiaowu.

"Xiao Wu, this is quite similar to teaching and educating people."

"Ah?" Xiaowu didn't understand what Xu Yingying meant?

"It's similar to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude." Xu Yingying continued.

"It does look a bit similar, right?" Xiao Wu didn't quite understand, but it didn't stop him from continuing to collect relevant data.

"Xiao Wu, this time I will use myself as an example, and Ma Jiajia should be able to think about getting ashore." Xu Yingying felt that although her hand was accidentally injured, it unexpectedly allowed her to better resolve the conflict with Ma Jiajia.

"Host, I also hope she can figure it out. Then we will start working on the main task after completing this side quest." Xiao Wu has already started planning the next arrangements.

"Yingying, am I stupid?" Ma Jiajia finally spoke.

"Sister Jiajia, I just thought it through one day earlier than you. And everyone's experience is different. It's just that you haven't figured it out yet. I was too self-righteous." Xu Yingying continued to take the responsibility on herself.

"No, you just don't want us to continue down this dead end." Ma Jiajia smiled, a look of relief and gratitude in her eyes. She was really happy to meet Xu Yingying here, as if fate had specially arranged this encounter so that they could be together again.

In fact, Ma Jiajia knew that although she seemed to be living a happy life in recent years, it was actually just a superficial phenomenon. Every night when she returned home, the gap between mother and daughter became more and more obvious, and communication between them became more and more difficult.

Ma's mother thought she had changed, no longer as obedient and sensible as before, while Ma Jiajia felt helpless and aggrieved. She hadn't changed, she just wanted her father to return home so the family could be reunited. However, this simple wish became an unattainable hope in her heart.

Now, with her father gone, Ma Jiajia lives alone with her mother. But the relationship between them feels like an invisible wall, difficult to overcome. Ma Jiajia feels the weight of her mother's expectations and worries, and she doesn't know how to face this reality.

That's why Ma Jiajia stayed out late every night. She saw her mother, who initially scolded her, then quietly sat on the sofa waiting for her to come back. Sometimes she even fell asleep on the sofa.

Ma Jiajia didn't know how to deal with all this. She thought she was used to this kind of life. But deep down, she knew she couldn't go on like this. It was just that no one said it, or rather, no one could speak to her heart like Xu Yingying did.

"I'm also very happy that you can change. Come on! Let's work hard together!" Xu Yingying responded with a bright smile.

It was this dazzling smile that sparked Ma Jiajia's affection for Xu Yingying. Even though they had a misunderstanding earlier, once that was resolved, she was once again captivated by her smile.

Perhaps she had been waiting for her to appear. To pull her out of the abyss. Perhaps she had been waiting for them all to be pulled out of the abyss. Xiaofen and Chenxi had both found themselves with Xu Yingying's help. Although she was a little late, it wasn't too late.
