The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Xu Yingying's head suddenly buzzed.

"Xiaowu, what did you say?" Xu Yingying, who had calmed down, immediately asked Xiaowu.

"Just now, the task progress suddenly became 38 percent." Xiao Wu calmly repeated the task progress figure he had just seen.

"The task progress bar will go back? What's the matter with this novice task?" Xu Yingying said this, but she was still complaining in her heart. What kind of weird system was she bound to that even the task progress bar became unreliable?

"I'm not sure about the specific reason, but this has never happened before. This is the first time it's happened." Xiao Wu was still saying what he thought Xu Yingying wanted to hear.

"Then what do you know? Is your system really helping me complete the task?" Xu Yingying burst out all her dissatisfaction with Xiaowu today.

Faced with Xu Yingying's sudden anger, Xiaowu was also very upset. He had not expected things to develop like this. At this moment, he didn't know what to say to calm his host down.

But Xiao Wu's silence made Xu Yingying even angrier. She felt ignored, so she continued to roar at Xiao Wu: "What's the matter with you not saying anything? Am I wrong? Why don't you speak?"

Xiaowu sensed Xu Yingying's anger and dissatisfaction and knew he had to do something to calm the situation. So, Xiaowu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said to Xu Yingying, "Host, I understand how you feel, but please calm down. We can find a solution together."

However, Xu Yingying did not listen to Xiao Wu's words and was still angry. Xiao Wu sighed helplessly, knowing that he needed to use other methods to appease Xu Yingying's emotions.

So, Xiaowu decided to turn on the music player and use music to change the mood of Xu Yingying, who was angry at the moment.

When the music player finished playing a song, Xu Yingying had calmed down a lot. Xiao Wu asked gently: "Host, are you feeling better?"

Xu Yingying nodded. She realized that her behavior had been a bit extreme, so she apologized to Xiaowu: "I'm sorry, Xiaowu, I just lost control. Thank you for your company and support."

Xiao Wu smiled and replied, "It's alright, host. I know you've been under a lot of pressure not knowing the direction of the mission, so you get emotional sometimes. I'm always here to help you if you're willing."

Xu Yingying nodded gratefully. She knew she couldn't always blame System Xiaowu for her problems, especially in this situation. She needed to learn to control her emotions to better cope with the challenges of the mission.

"Now, let's first figure out what caused the regression in the progress of this task." Xu Yingying stated the most important problem that needed to be solved at the moment.

"Okay, then host, where do you think we should start?" Xiao Wu had just said that he didn't know the specific reason for the progress regression, and he could only investigate it slowly with Xu Yingying.

While the two of them were chatting animatedly, Qin Shu waited for Xu Yingying's response after asking her a question, but Xu Yingying seemed to be in her own zone, staring ahead in silence, which made Qin Shu very worried.

"Yingying, what's wrong with you? Is it because Tongxin did something so serious that you can't say it out loud? Your aunt won't force you, so if you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Qin Shu attributed Xu Yingying's current situation to something wrong that Li Tongxin had done.

When Qin Shu said this, Li Tongxin, whose pride had already been hurt, once again felt that this was how her mother saw her. The little girl in her heart burst into tears, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Just as Xu Yingying was about to respond after being brought back to her senses by Qin Shu's words, Xiao Wu continued, "The task progress bar has retreated again. It's only 36% now."

Wait, Xu Yingying suddenly came to her senses. Just now, every time Xiaowu said that the task progress had regressed, it was because of what Aunt Qin said. Does that mean that it was Aunt Qin's words that caused the task progress bar to regress?

But why would Aunt Qin's words cause the task progress bar to regress?

Before Xu Yingying could figure out the cause and effect, Xiao Wu said, "Now it has become 35.85%!"

Xu Yingying's mind was racing, thinking about how to stop the task progress bar from continuing to decline, while wondering why Aunt Qin's words caused the progress bar to change.

Xu Yingying re-examined every word Aunt Qin had just said, realizing it was a common practice among many parents of that era: always disparaging their children in front of others to demonstrate modesty or avoid arousing jealousy. The key, however, was that Aunt Qin had not only said this about Li Tongxin in front of her, but had even said the same thing to Li Tongxin herself.

Xu Yingying observed Li Tongxin beside her again and finally found the crux of the problem. Aunt Qin's words were a fatal blow to Li Tongxin, who was at this age. Children of this age have begun to understand things, but have not yet entered the rebellious stage. Their self-awareness and values are still being formed, and they are most easily influenced by their parents' words. At this moment, seeing Li Tongxin's red eyes, Xu Yingying understood that Aunt Qin's words deeply hurt her little cousin's heart, causing her to feel strongly wronged. After all, she did nothing wrong, but she was subjected to such negative comments from her biological mother.

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect of the whole incident, Xu Yingying finally knew what she should do.

Xu Yingying looked at Aunt Qin in front of her and was about to say something when she immediately interrupted her and said, "Aunt, I just suddenly remembered something else. It's not because of cousin Tong Xin that I didn't say anything, and aunt, there is really no need for you to deliberately say those words just now to prevent me from getting hurt. You clearly know that cousin Tong Xin has been with me all this time after the incident at my house. You always try to make me happy."

Qin Shu was taken aback by Xu Yingying's sudden outburst. Qin Shu knew that since her sister and brother-in-law divorced, her niece, Xu Yingying, had been unwilling to accept her parents' decision to divorce. She had also privately told her daughter not to talk about her family affairs in front of Yingying, so as not to upset her. But after hearing her niece bring up the matter again and again over the past two days, perhaps Yingying had begun to let it go.
