The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Xu Junjie, who was sitting nearby, felt like a deflated ball after hearing his sister's words. He drooped his head listlessly and muttered, "Sister, don't you know how bad my grades are? Going to school is a dead end for me. There's no way out!"

Xu Yingying sighed softly, as if she had anticipated her brother's response. After a moment's thought, she continued, "Since you always like playing those games, why not sign up for night school and learn computer skills? You know, the computer industry is going to be very hot in the future! As long as you're truly willing to put in the effort and study hard, I'll cover the tuition. But beyond that, I'm afraid I can't help you with anything else."

Xu's mother, who had been listening silently, was furious. She interrupted with an unhappy look on her face, "Hey, what are you thinking as an older sister? Your brother is already such a grown man, why is he still studying? In my opinion, why don't you just find him an easy and leisurely job? Why go through all this trouble?"

Xu Yingying silently looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar brother in front of her, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that she had tried her best and said everything she needed to say. Now it all depended on his choice. After all, everyone was responsible for his own life. Thinking of this, Xu Yingying sighed softly and didn't say another word. Because she knew in her heart that this was all she could do. If her brother could understand her good intentions and walk on the right path from now on, that would naturally be the best; but if he didn't repent, or even had some bad intentions, then she would never indulge and protect him like before, even though there was an inseparable family relationship between them.

Meanwhile, Xu's mother stood at the door, anxiously looking out. She had been waiting for a long time, but her son-in-law still hadn't shown up. As the sky grew darker, she shook her head helplessly and turned to her youngest son, saying, "Come on, son. It looks like we won't be able to wait for him to come back today. Let's go home first." Then, she took Xu Junjie's hand and prepared to leave.

At this moment, however, Xu Junjie, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly stopped. He gritted his teeth, as if making a firm decision. He looked up at Xu Yingying and slowly said, "Sister, I...I'll listen to you! I'll learn computer science." Xu Yingying was stunned at first, then a relieved smile spread across her face. She nodded and gently replied, "Yes, I can, little brother. As long as you study hard, you'll definitely have a bright future." Receiving his sister's affirmative response, Xu Junjie seemed relieved and left with his mother.

After Xu's mother and Xu Junjie left, Lin Xinyi walked briskly to Xu Yingying's side. She raised her cute little face, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Mom, have grandma and uncle gone back yet?"

Xu Yingying smiled and nodded, gently touched her daughter's hair, and then said softly, "Yes, baby. But Christmas is in two days, and Mom bought you a brand new and beautiful dress. You can wear it during the holiday. Come on, go try it on and see if it fits you well."

When Lin Xinyi heard the good news, her eyes lit up instantly, her face filled with excitement and anticipation. She happily responded, "Oh yeah, really? Mom actually bought me new clothes! I really want to know what kind of clothes they are!"

Seeing her daughter so happy, Xu Yingying joyfully pulled out the dress she had prepared in advance. She had specifically asked Yu Lili to meticulously design this dress. When she showed it to Lin Xinyi, it was a pink princess dress with delicate puff sleeves. The hem was embellished with sparkling diamonds, dazzling like stars in the night sky.

Lin Xinyi was immediately captivated by the beautiful dress. She couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the soft fabric, feeling its delicateness and warmth. Then, looking up at her mother, a happy smile spread across her face as she said sweetly, "Mom, I love you so much! This dress is absolutely gorgeous! I feel like a real little princess!" She couldn't wait to try on her beloved princess dress.

When Lin Xinyi carefully put on the gorgeous princess dress and slowly walked in front of Xu Yingying, Xu Yingying couldn't help but widen her eyes, as if a cute little angel emitting pure light appeared in front of her.

Lin Xinyi spun around with great joy, her skirt blooming like a flower. A happy smile spread across her face, and she said to Xu Yingying happily, "Mom, I really like this skirt. It's so beautiful!"

Xu Yingying looked her daughter up and down with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness and fondness. She nodded and praised, "Baby, this dress really suits you. It not only looks good, but it also makes you look even cuter. Let's wear it to the event on Christmas Day, okay?"

Hearing her mother say this, Lin Xinyi nodded excitedly and responded, "Yeah! My classmates will definitely be very envious of me then!" As she spoke, her mind began to emerge with the surprised and envious looks of her classmates when they saw her wearing a princess dress.

However, at this moment, Lin Xinyi's cheerful mood suddenly became a little depressed, as if blown away by a gust of wind. She raised her head, looked at Xu Yingying with her big, watery eyes, and asked softly, "Mom, Dad has been missing a lot lately. He leaves early and comes back late every day. Will he still attend our kindergarten activities?"

Xu Yingying quickly squatted down, gently stroked Lin Xinyi's hair, and comforted her, "Don't worry, baby. We have to trust Daddy. He loves you so much, he won't let us down! Maybe he's working hard just to make time to spend that wonderful moment with us."

Meanwhile, back at the company, Lin Weiye was toiling away at his desk. To ensure he could attend Xinyi Kindergarten's activities on schedule, he'd been working frantically overtime almost every day for the past few days, hoping to finish his tasks as quickly as possible. He rubbed his sore eyes, glanced at the densely packed data and files on his computer screen, and breathed a sigh of relief—he was finally done.
