The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

In reality, taking photos isn't as easy as one might imagine. Lin Xinyi lost count of how many outfits she'd changed that day. Each change meant recalibrating her pose, expression, and blending in with the background. The constant "smile, smile" nagging at her made her feel a bit annoyed and frustrated.

Lin Xinyi's face was already frozen with laughter, and she secretly complained, "I really can't laugh anymore!" However, just when Lin Xinyi felt she was about to give up, she remembered that her mother had fulfilled her promise and made her her favorite cookies. At that moment, it was as if a magical power was injected into her little body, making her instantly energetic and full of energy. After all, for Lin Xinyi, it was not easy to eat her mother's cookies on a daily basis, especially since her mother started working and had no free time to make cookies for her.

When the photoshoot was complete, even Xu Yingying, the mother herself, was amazed at the final product. She had never imagined her daughter would look so photogenic under the photographer's lens, radiant like a true little star. Her big, sparkling eyes, especially, seemed to speak with such a lively and expressive spirit that it was impossible not to stare at them for a second.

"The last shot is done!" The photographer's words signaled the end of today's long shoot. Lin Xinyi, her nerves taut and in top form, flew eagerly to her mother, Xu Yingying, like a cheerful little bird.

Seeing how hard Xinyi tried to show herself in front of the camera, Xu Yingying was delighted and praised her generously: "Xinyi, my dear, you performed really well today!"

Lin Xinyi blinked her big, watery eyes and asked expectantly, "Really, Mom?"

Xu Yingying smiled and nodded, continuing to praise, "Of course it's true! Mom was watching from the side just now. My little Yi is just as dazzling as those real little stars. She's so adorable!"

Hearing her mother's praise, Lin Xinyi's heart blossomed with joy, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her laughter was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, echoing in the air and letting everyone around her feel the innocence and happiness.

Xu Yingying gently stroked her daughter's hair and asked with concern: "Are you tired after shooting for so long, baby?"

Lin Xinyi shook her head and answered sensibly, "I'm a little tired, but when I think about hanging these beautiful photos in my mom's shop for everyone to see, I feel full of energy again!"

Xu Yingying was moved and distressed after hearing this, and scolded: "Oh, you silly child..."

Lin Xinyi blinked her bright eyes, staring at her mother without blinking. Suddenly, she noticed that her mother's eyes seemed to be red, as if she was about to cry. So, she asked in confusion, "Mom, why do you look like you're about to cry? Did something happen to make you sad?"

Hearing her daughter's concerned words, Xu Yingying quickly reached out and gently rubbed her eyes, forcing a smile and saying, "Silly child, Mommy isn't crying! I'm just a little tired. By the way, honey, did you get enough rest? If you do, Mommy will take you home and make you a lot of delicious food!"

When Lin Xinyi heard there was something delicious, she jumped up excitedly and cheered, "Oh yeah! That's great! I love my mom the most! Mom's cooking is the best!"

Xu Yingying smiled and touched Lin Xinyi's little head, saying gently: "My dear baby, Mommy loves you the most. Let's go home now!"

After the mother and daughter returned home hand in hand, Xu Yingying let Lin Xinyi go play aside while she tied an apron and went straight into the kitchen to get busy. She skillfully took out flour, butter, eggs and other ingredients from the cupboard to prepare Lin Xinyi's favorite cookies.

Just then, there was the sound of a key turning in the door. It was Dad Lin Weiye returning from get off work. As he entered the house, the rich aroma of cookies filled his nostrils. With years of experience, Lin Weiye immediately guessed that his wife, Xu Yingying, was baking at home today.

He followed the aroma into the restaurant and immediately saw Lin Xinyi sitting at the table, eating cookies with gusto. The little one had a happy look on her face, with some cookie crumbs on the corners of her mouth, which was very adorable.

Lin Weiye walked over with a smile, pinched Lin Xinyi's little face, then turned to look at Xu Yingying who was busy in the kitchen and asked curiously, "Wife, why do you have so much time to make cookies today?"

Without even turning her head, Xu Yingying quickly responded, "The store had originally arranged for a young model to come over today to help with the photo shoot and promotional efforts, but something unexpected happened and she couldn't come. I was so worried, and then Yufei and the others asked me if our Xinyi could go over and help out. I thought about it and decided to ask Xinyi if she was willing. As soon as I asked, Xinyi agreed very readily. Then I asked Xinyi what kind of reward she wanted as a thank you. To my surprise, Xinyi blinked her big, watery eyes and told me that she really wanted to eat the cookies her mother made. Oh, how could I not agree to such a cute request, so I immediately agreed to it."

At this time, Lin Xinyi's little mouth was stuffed full. She tried hard to chew the fragrant cookie in her mouth, and nodded vaguely in agreement: "Yeah, yeah, mom always keeps her word. She said she would make cookies for me and she will do it!" As soon as the voice fell, she couldn't wait to reach out and grab another cookie and stuff it into her mouth.

Lin Weiye, sitting nearby, looked at his daughter with a smile and asked with interest, "It seems our precious Xinyi helped Mom out a lot today, didn't she?" Hearing her father's question, Lin Xinyi finally swallowed the food in her mouth and quickly replied, "Of course, Dad! I took so many beautiful photos in the store today. And I couldn't stop laughing, my face almost froze. But as long as it can help Mom, I'm willing to do any hardship."

Xu Yingying touched her daughter's hair lovingly and said gently, "You've worked so hard, my baby." Lin Xinyi shook her head happily and said seriously, "It's not hard at all, Mom. I'm really, really happy to be able to help you." As she spoke, she gave her mother an extremely bright smile.
