Li Tongxin's crying gradually subsided. She raised her head and looked at Xu Yingying with her red and swollen eyes, her eyes full of concern and worry. Xu Yingying gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and gently comforted her: "Don't cry, crying for too long will make your eyes uncomfortable."

The two of them sat quietly on the bed, their eyes intertwined, as if they could convey the deepest emotions in their hearts through their eyes. At this moment, the distance between them seemed to have shortened a lot, no longer a simple cousin relationship, but a deeper connection.

"Cousin Yingying, I'm so useless and made you worry. You are the one who is sad." Li Tongxin had just finished crying, and her voice was still a little hoarse.

"Why should I be sad?!" Xu Yingying was confused by Li Tongxin's actions. Although she also felt that the other party was crying because of her, she didn't understand why she started crying for no reason just because she was distracted.

"Cousin Yingying, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked you all sorts of irrelevant questions and made you think about unhappy things all the time." Li Tongxin immediately admitted her mistake.

"Are you stupid? I'm not thinking about anything unhappy. What are you thinking about?" Xu Yingying couldn't help but wonder what this little cousin was thinking about.

"Cousin Yingying, you're not... aren't you..." Li Tongxin's voice became softer and softer as she spoke.

Hearing her little cousin about to feel guilty again, she immediately stopped herself and said, "Listen, I'm just thinking about how to answer the question you asked me before. I'm afraid that if I don't explain it well, it will affect you."

"Ah!? Is that so? But didn't Cousin Yingying think of something unhappy because of the question I asked?"

"No, what I thought was that you might not understand some things after I tell you. I was just thinking about how to say it so that you can understand it easily. I am not unhappy or thinking about anything unhappy because of the questions you asked." Xu Yingying looked at Li Tongxin seriously.

"Really?" Li Tongxin looked back at Xu Yingying with a puzzled look.

"Why would I lie to you for no reason? You asked me what you need to do to be like me? What exactly do you want to be like me?" Xu Yingying asked back.

Without waiting for Li Tongxin's response, Xu Yingying continued, "Tongxin, everyone is unique and not the same. You're ten years old now and have had the opportunity to see many people and many things. You might be attracted to some of them. Sometimes you might be attracted to someone because of their excellence, sense of humor, mystery, and many other aspects. You might also be attracted to something because it's interesting or unconventional. But you should start to prepare for this."

"Because, in the future, you may face more complex and eye-catching things and people. You need to be able to discern what you want to do."

"I also know that you definitely won't understand what I'm saying now. You may not understand many things immediately after I tell you. Some people need to experience things, but even after experiencing them, you may not be able to understand them immediately. Understanding is also a one-time thing."

Looking at Li Tongxin, who had become dazed and dazed at her words, Xu Yingying felt that she might have been forcing things too far. But she also hoped that she could understand, just like those parents who see a pitfall ahead and want to walk it for their children.

"Xiao Wu, don't you have anything to say?" Xu Yingying immediately asked Xiao Wu after she finished speaking.

"Host, do I have anything to say?" Xiao Wu asked himself what he wanted to say?

"Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on the progress of the task?" Xu Yingying felt that Xiaowu had completely forgotten her instructions.

"I'm paying attention!" Xiao Wu answered the host Xu Yingying seriously.

"Then why don't you have anything to say to me?" Xu Yingying's dissatisfied voice stretched out.

"Because there is no change." Xiaowu said word by word.

"What? How is this possible? I said so much, but the target of the mission didn't even have any emotional fluctuations?" Xu Yingying was very confused about what was going on.

"Host, did you get the wrong mission target?" Xiao Wu's voice sounded somewhat confused and puzzled.

"Isn't Li Tongxin the target of my mission?" I frowned, feeling very confused.

"Yes, but it's not the Li Tongxin in front of you." Xiao Wu said carefully.

"Xiaowu, I don't understand what you are saying." Xu Yingying scratched her head, still not understanding what Xiaowu meant.

"Although we are almost inside the book, we are here because the original book's female supporting character, Li Tongxin, hastily passed away before the end of the original book. Before her death, she was obsessed with becoming the original book's heroine. As for us, after the female supporting character arrived at the heroine's body, she was unable to successfully match with the heroine due to various technical reasons. She turned to our main system for help and thus became the target of our mission." Xiao Wu explained in complex language.

After hearing this, Xu Yingying's mind was in a mess. It turned out that there were so many reasons behind this. Xu Yingying had always thought that her mission was to help Li Tongxin realize her wish, but she didn't expect there was such a background story.

"What should we do now?" Xu Yingying asked.

"We need to let the real Li Tongxin let go of her obsession before we can complete the mission." Xiao Wu said.

Xu Yingying nodded, indicating that she understood. "So what I said to Li Tongxin right now is all in vain?"

"Yes and no." Xiaowu replied.

"Can you make it simpler?"

"Just like what you just said to your little cousin, many times you have to experience it before you can understand it, but it is only a possibility, not a hundred percent." Xiao Wu's words began to become mysterious.

At this time, after hearing what Xu Yingying said, Li Tongxin seemed to have indigestion and said to Xu Yingying, "Cousin Yingying, are the junior high school teachers teaching so profoundly?"

The question from her little cousin made Xu Yingying feel that all her long speech had been in vain. Sure enough, her little cousin was still a child.

"You will understand it later. I hope you can understand it sooner." Xu Yingying said meaningfully.

"It's almost nine o'clock, Cousin Yingying."

After hearing Li Tongxin's reminder, Xu Yingying also remembered that her aunt Qin Shu asked Li Tongxin to go to bed before nine o'clock every night.

"Then let's turn off the lights and go to bed!" Xu Yingying said, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, and also turned off the lights. Then she walked to the bed and slept on Li Tongxin's bed.

"Good night, cousin Yingying."

"Good night, cousin Tongxin."

Not long after, Xu Yingying heard the sound of even breathing coming from beside her.

Li Tongxin beside him had fallen asleep.

Xu Yingying was wondering whether she should enter the system space and whether she would be discovered. After a while, she heard movement at the door.

Xu Yingying, with her eyes tightly closed, could only ask Xiao Wu, "Is it Aunt Qin who came in?"
