Lin Weiye, who had been sitting in the car, silently listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, thought to himself that he had to admit that Xu Yingying was absolutely right. After all, compared to Xiaomei, who had proactively asked if she could borrow her daughter's clothes, and Xiaopang, who was full of nonsense, this child named Xiaoyuan was indeed more excessive.

At this time, Xu Yingying continued to ask: "So, in other words, it is because of Xiaoyuan that you are so depressed?"

Lin Xinyi nodded gently, and said pitifully, like a wounded fawn, "Xiaoyuan said I was stingy. When I heard her say that, I started to feel sad. I was wondering if I should lend the princess dress to Xiaomei."

Xu Yingying looked at her innocent daughter and couldn't help feeling angry and amused. She wondered how this girl could be so silly. So she asked, "But honey, don't you really like that skirt?"

Lin Xinyi blinked her big, watery eyes and replied with a look of grievance, "Yes, Mom, it's because I really like that dress so much that I'm so hesitant and can't let it go. But because of this, I can't help but doubt myself. Am I really as stingy as Xiaoyuan said?"

Listening to her daughter's baby voice saying these words, Xu Yingying really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xu Yingying: "If mom didn't ask you, would you always think that you are the stingy person they call you?"

Lin Xinyi thought for a moment and said, "Mom, if you don't ask, I'll still think I'm stingy."

Xu Yingying patted the back of Lin Xinyi's hand and said, "You're such a silly child!"

Lin Xinyi: "Xinyi is not stupid!"

Xu Yingying: "Yes, yes, yes, our Xinyi is not stupid."

At this time, Lin Weiye had already driven the car home.

Lin Weiye gently patted Lin Xinyi's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, baby, we're home. Remember, if you encounter something like this at school next time, you must tell Mom and Dad right away, okay?" Lin Xinyi nodded obediently and answered without hesitation, "Okay, Dad, I'll remember!"

At this time, Xu Yingying gently touched Lin Xinyi's head and whispered, "Tonight, Mom will cook a sumptuous Christmas dinner for my darling! Eat up all the unhappy things today, and then be happy." When Lin Xinyi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up and she shouted excitedly, "Wow! I'm going to have a Christmas dinner!" That cute look made Lin Weiye and Xu Yingying couldn't help but smile at each other.

After the family enjoyed a happy dinner, Lin Xinyi couldn't wait to run to the bathroom for a shower. Soon, she emerged clean and fragrant. Dressed in soft pajamas, she hopped onto the bed like a cheerful little bunny, snuggling into the warm quilt and preparing for sleep.

Lin Weiye and Xu Yingying stood quietly by the bed, watching Lin Xinyi close her eyes peacefully, her breathing gradually becoming steady and deep. Only after they were sure she was sound asleep did they breathe a sigh of relief and leave the room.

Back in the living room, Xu Yingying sat on the sofa, sighed softly, and said to Lin Weiye with emotion: "As the saying goes, 'A child's life is a time of worry until he is ninety-nine'. I didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence before, but now that I have a child of my own, I finally understand it." Lin Weiye came over, put his arm around Xu Yingying's shoulders and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, dear. Xinyi is still young, and this is the time when she needs our more care. As long as we stay by her side all the time, I believe she will grow up healthy and happy." Xu Yingying leaned in Lin Weiye's arms and nodded slightly to show that she agreed with him.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into Xu Yingying's room. She stretched, got up, washed up, and sent Lin Xinyi to kindergarten. Then she couldn't wait to find her two friends to share what happened yesterday.

When she saw Wu Yufei and Yu Lili, she immediately enthusiastically told them everything that Lin Xinyi had experienced in kindergarten. Wu Yufei couldn't help but gasp and said in surprise, "Oh my! How come kids these days are so troublesome and so likely to cause trouble?"

Yu Lili nodded thoughtfully and responded in agreement, "Actually, I think this kind of thing has always existed."

Wu Yufei's eyes widened in disbelief, "Ah? I never encountered such a situation when I was a child."

Yu Lili smiled slightly, patted Wu Yufei's shoulder gently and replied, "That just means you were very lucky when you were a kid."

Hearing Yu Lili's words, Wu Yufei felt a little dissatisfied and asked with a pout, "Lili, have you ever experienced something similar in person?"

At this time, Yu Lili just nodded silently. Wu Yufei felt as if she was about to take a breath of cold air when she saw this.

She quickly asked, "Is it true or false? Lili, please don't say anything careless."

Yu Lili took a deep breath, her gaze gradually becoming distant. Her soft, slightly melancholic voice, like a gentle breeze, slowly drifted towards the two people beside her as she began to recount an unforgettable, heartbreaking experience from her childhood.

Xu Yingying, who had been listening quietly, was already immersed in Yu Lili's story. After she finished, she couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, real-life experiences are often much more exciting than what's shown in TV dramas!" Wu Yufei also nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Lili, if you wrote these experiences into a novel, it would definitely attract many readers and make a lot of money!"

Hearing her friends' comments, Yu Lili smiled slightly and said, "In fact, I think the problems Yingying's daughter is facing now are just the tip of the iceberg compared to what I faced back then."

Xu Yingying said, "I was just sighing that such a young child could already be so scheming, but I couldn't tell my daughter about it. I don't want her childhood to be ruined by something like this."

Wu Yufei: "That's true, but some children may be affected by their environment early on."

Yu Lili: "With you here, her childhood won't be ruined so easily."

Xu Yingying: "You're right, but sometimes as a parent I feel powerless. I see a problem, but I worry that my intervention will have other consequences for my child's development."

Wu Yufei: "It turns out being a parent is not easy."
