The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

When Xu Yingying slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Lin Weiye's worried face. His deep eyes revealed concern and uneasiness, as if he had a thousand words to say, but they were all forcibly suppressed in his heart.

Xu Yingying's heart tightened and she asked subconsciously, "What's wrong? Did something happen? Why are you looking at me like that?" As she spoke, she tried to sit up from the bed.

Lin Weiye took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging emotions in his heart, and then whispered, "Wife, you slept for a long time today!" There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice, as if hiding some indescribable worry.

Hearing this, Xu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the bedside clock and realized that a long time had passed. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said bewilderedly, "I don't know what's going on. I just feel so sleepy, as if I can never get enough sleep."

Lin Weiye quickly reached out to hold Xu Yingying's shoulders and asked with concern: "Are you still feeling sleepy now? If you want to sleep a little longer, then rest a little more. Anyway, there is no rush to do other things."

Xu Yingying shook her head gently, looked out the window, and murmured to herself, "I wonder if it's time for dinner? I feel a little hungry."

Lin Weiye smiled and replied, "Not yet, dear. It will probably take another half an hour or so for dinner to be served. But if you want something to eat now, I can go get you some snacks."

Xu Yingying thought about it and finally decided to get up. "Forget it, I'd better get up and move around, otherwise I'll fall asleep again." After that, she lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed.

Seeing this, Lin Weiye hurried forward to support her and said gently, "Well, in that case, let's go downstairs. Xinyi is downstairs chatting with Grandpa. They might be wondering when you'll wake up." So, the two of them, fingers intertwined, held each other's hands tightly and slowly walked out of the room together. Their steps were light and tacit, as if each step was treading on a note of happiness. And so, shoulder to shoulder, the two of them slowly walked downstairs.

"Mom, Mom!" Suddenly, a clear cry like a silver bell was heard. It turned out to be Lin Xinyi, who heard the sound coming from the stairs and ran over like a happy little rabbit, shouting excitedly as she ran.

"Xinyi, my dear daughter, are you back from school?" Xu Yingying responded with a smile on her face. Her gentle voice was like a warm spring breeze, gently blowing through everyone's heart.

Lin Xinyi ran to Xu Yingying obediently, held the corner of her clothes affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Mom, I was very serious in kindergarten today, and I drew a very beautiful picture for you. Please come and see it quickly." As she said that, she couldn't wait to pull Xu Yingying to the living room.

Xu Yingying couldn't help laughing at her daughter's cute appearance, and quickly responded, "Okay, what kind of painting did Xinyi draw for Mom today? Come and let Mom enjoy it."

At this time, Lin Weiye, who had been standing aside and watching the interaction between the mother and daughter with a smile, couldn't help but ask: "Xinyi baby, is there only mom in this painting?" He deliberately pretended to look pitiful, trying to amuse his little daughter.

Lin Xinyi was clearly not expecting her father to ask her this out of the blue. She was stunned for a moment, a hint of hesitation on her face. But soon, her cleverness caught on. Blinking her big, watery eyes, she replied in a baby voice, "Oh, Dad, because the teacher only let us draw Mom. But it's okay. I'll draw a super cool portrait of Dad later, okay?"

Upon hearing his daughter's caring and loving words, Lin Weiye's face instantly blossomed with a smile as bright as a spring flower. Overwhelmed with joy, he couldn't help but open his arms and embrace the lovely Lin Xinyi tightly. Then, he lowered his head and gently kissed her peach-like cheek with a doting look.

At this moment, Mr. Lin, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, saw this heartwarming scene and couldn't contain his joy. He happily joined in the fun. He smiled lovingly and asked in a loud and amiable voice, "Oh, our Xinyi is so clever and skillful. Did you draw a picture for me too?"

Xu Yingying, standing nearby, watched the scene with a smile, a surge of emotion welling up in her heart. Seeing Lin Xinyi, who had just finally dealt with her father, Lin Weiye, and now had to rush to deal with Mr. Lin's demands, she nodded secretly, feeling even more strongly that moving back to this old house had been a wise move. This place was filled with family warmth and the care of loved ones, making her feel incredibly happy.

Just as everyone was immersed in this joyful and peaceful atmosphere, Sister Yang approached with light and cheerful steps. Her kind face was covered with a warm smile, like the warmest sunshine on a spring day, which made everyone feel happy. She said softly, "Everyone, the food is ready. Let's eat!"

Hearing this, Lin Xinyi, who had been constantly harassed by the two men, one large and one small, felt as if she had been granted amnesty, and she let out a long, pent-up breath. After all, those two—an elderly man with a childlike innocence and a boy still at the age of mischief—had been circling her like two mischievous monkeys with too much energy to vent. They kept begging her to draw a picture, and their attitude was firm, refusing to give in. Poor little Lin Xinyi, the innocent and carefree girl, was truly overwhelmed by such a formidable opponent.

At this moment, warm words emanated from the dinner table. Lin Weiye, sitting nearby, placed a piece of fragrant braised pork in his daughter's bowl and earnestly urged, "My dear, you must eat more." Across from her, Lin Xinyi smiled and replied, "I know. Thank you, Dad, for your concern." Then, the well-behaved and sensible Xinyi looked up at her mother and said sweetly, "Mom, you should eat more too." Xu Yingying nodded lovingly and replied, "Okay, my sweetheart, Mommy knows." For a moment, the whole room was filled with laughter and the rich aroma of family love.
