Xu Yingying didn't expect that her attempt to shirk responsibility would backfire in the near future. "If you can try, I'll give it to you."

"Host, you are so nice to me." Xiao Wu was so happy that he was spinning around in circles after hearing Xu Yingying's promise.

While eating French fries and drinking Coke, Li Tongxin finally tasted the McDonald's that others talked about.

"Cousin Yingying, these fries are so crispy and delicious!" Li Tongxin exclaimed as she chewed the fries in her mouth. She had never tasted such crispy and delicious food before. Each fry was filled with a rich potato aroma, leaving her with an endless aftertaste.

After finishing a bite of French fries, Li Tongxin eagerly grabbed the Coke on the table and drank it all in one gulp. The bubbles in the cola danced on her tongue, bringing a unique tingling sensation. The sweet taste, combined with the feeling of the gas lingering in her mouth, intoxicated her, as if she were in a sweet world.

Li Tongxin closed her eyes, feeling the joy and satisfaction that the delicious food brought her. She couldn't help but sigh, "I've never tasted anything like this before." She finally understood why her classmates said how delicious this thing was after eating it, and why they all liked it.

At that moment, Li Tongxin felt that she had never tasted anything like this before. She wondered to herself, why didn't her parents take her there? It was just a little pricey, but eating there once in a while shouldn't be a big deal. Of course, these were Li Tongxin's own thoughts, and she didn't share them with anyone else.

After hearing what Li Tongxin said, Xu Yingying felt that she was still a ten-year-old child!

"Cousin Tongxin, why didn't I realize that you were so particular about food before?" Xu Yingying looked at Li Tongxin in confusion.

After hearing Xu Yingying's words, Li Tongxin's cheerful mood suddenly became a little strange. She asked Xu Yingying, "Cousin Yingying, don't you like French fries?"

"It's okay." Xu Yingying said bluntly. She couldn't say whether she liked it or not. French fries were just a food she didn't resist eating.

While Li Tongxin, who had been assimilated into her peers' fondness for French fries, heard a different voice: her parents, she felt, didn't like them either. But in Li Tongxin's view, French fries were a product of the new era, a trend. Her parents' dislike was due to their rigid mindsets, unable to embrace new things. This was the first time she'd heard someone her age express a dislike for French fries.

Li Tongxin is also a smart child. She listened carefully to her cousin Yingying's words. Yingying didn't say she liked it; she said it was just okay. When faced with new things, children often try to stand out in front of their parents. If their parents say they don't want to try something, they assume they're too scared to try.

This was clearly a neutral statement, but it left Li Tongxin feeling inexplicably bewildered. She didn't know what to say to Xu Yingying.

After answering Li Tongxin's question, Xu Yingying had been observing Li Tongxin in front of her. She didn't miss any of her frowns, so Xu Yingying was sure that Li Tongxin, in addition to being a bit of a people-pleasing personality, was also a bit indecisive.

Of course, this doesn't mean that a ten-year-old child should have independent opinions, but Li Tongxin's current situation is like the herd effect. It can't be said that this is necessarily wrong, but what she pursues may not necessarily be what she wants.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Xu Yingying said, "Cousin Tongxin, you like it. I will bring it to you next time I have a chance."

After hearing this, Li Tongxin found that she was not that happy?

Yes, before, when she heard her classmates talking about going to McDonald's to eat French fries and hamburgers, Li Tongxin couldn't help but secretly fantasize: How happy it would be if one day she could eat them! And today, when she saw her cousin Yingying personally deliver this surprise to her, she felt both surprised and delighted.

Because she finally got to eat the fries that others had been talking about. But now when Li Tongxin heard her cousin Yingying say that she would bring her some next time, she no longer felt the same excitement as before. She didn't know why it was like this, but she might not want it as much as before. So she raised her head, smiled and said to her cousin Yingying: "Thank you, cousin, but if it's too much trouble, don't bring it to me specially. I'm not that greedy."

Xu Yingying was delighted when she heard Li Tongxin's sudden change of heart. She realized she must have found her way. She smiled and replied, "It's not a big deal, Tongxin. I know you like these, so I bought some for you. Besides, we're family, so it's only natural for us to take care of each other." She gently patted Li Tongxin's shoulder, expressing her understanding and support.

Xiaowu, who witnessed everything, turned into a man with a hundred thousand questions and started asking crazy questions.

"Host, why did my cousin suddenly change her mind? She just said that French fries and Coke are the best match." Xiao Wu thought that when he could eat again, he must try French fries and Coke together. But now, the cousin's sudden change of attitude made Xiao Wu very confused.

Xu Yingying didn't want to bother with this goofy Xiaowu. Whenever she mentioned eating, he would start acting silly. If she hadn't known that the system couldn't eat, she would have thought Xiaowu was a foodie. Or a fat guy who had eaten too much.

Facing Xu Yingying's silence, Xiao Wu continued to ask persistently: "Is it because these fries have been left out for too long that my cousin doesn't think they taste good anymore?"

"And the Coke has melted, so it's not cold enough and tastes bad?"

"Host...is it...?"

"Is the host...?"

"What exactly is a host...?"

"Stop...!" Xiaowu kept asking Xu Yingying a series of questions. Xu Yingying, who had originally believed that silence was golden, was annoyed by his chatter and finally decided to stop his chattering.

After hearing the host's angry words, Xiao Wu realized that he had just talked too much and made the host angry.

"I'm sorry, host, I was wrong." Xiao Wu said in a low voice with grievance.

Xu Yingying finally felt that her brain, which had been deprived of oxygen by Xiao Wu's anger, was temporarily relieved.

"It's really okay, cousin Yingying. I don't like it that much." When Li Tongxin said that she didn't like it very much, she seemed to realize why she didn't need cousin Yingying to bring it to her.

She thought to herself: Maybe it's because these foods are not what I really want, so I don't think they are that delicious. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blame herself.
