Xu Yingying said to Xiaowu, "I still have to work hard to change Aunt Qin."

"Host, have you discovered something?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

"After talking with Aunt Qin last night, I thought she understood what I said. As a result, she remembered to make more dishes that my little cousin likes when making breakfast. But just now in the yard, her impetuous behavior of pushing everything onto cousin Tongxin has only exacerbated the childhood trauma of cousin Tongxin. If I hadn't corrected her statement in time, not only would our task progress bar drop, but cousin Tongxin would also feel even more upset." Xu Yingying frowned and said seriously.

"Host, are you exaggerating?" Xiao Wu questioned after hearing Xu Yingying's overly pessimistic words.

"Otherwise, why do you think the target of this mission has to be the heroine of the original book? It was a choice caused by the shadow of childhood." Xu Yingying couldn't help but argue.

After hearing this, Xiao Wu also felt that it was a bit tricky: "This is indeed a bit troublesome. But maybe Aunt Qin was just careless for a moment? After all, she usually seems to be a very careful person."

"Well, this time I really realized that it's not that easy to truly change a person's thoughts and behavior." Xu Yingying sighed, "Especially for someone like Aunt Qin who has become accustomed to a certain way of thinking, it takes more time and energy to guide and correct them."

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement: "Yes, but host, don't be too anxious. We will take it step by step, and Aunt Qin will eventually change."

Xu Yingying smiled, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Don't worry, I won't give up easily. As long as I have patience and methods, I believe I can help Aunt Qin and my little cousin out of the predicament while achieving our mission goals." After that, she fell into deep thought again, and began to think about how to better communicate and exchange with Aunt Qin in order to promote her transformation.

"Cousin Yingying, aren't you hungry? Why are you standing all the time instead of sitting down to eat breakfast?" Li Tongxin asked Xu Yingying while eating a freshly fried sunny-side-up egg.

"I'll eat now. Don't eat too fast. Leave some for me so you don't eat it all by yourself." Xu Yingying sat down and picked up the fried noodles in front of her with a bowl.

"How can you say I eat too fast just because you are slow?" Li Tongxin said as she continued to put food into the bowl.

"Why are you fighting over so many things?" Qin Shu watched the two people who suddenly started fighting and wondered whether to stop them.

"Mom, it was my cousin Yingying who was just standing there stupidly. I didn't eat it all on purpose." Li Tongxin argued cunningly.

"Can't you just give in to your cousin? Haven't you heard of Kong Rong giving up his pears?" Qin Shu started lecturing as soon as he heard Li Tongxin's infuriating words.

"I haven't heard of it." Li Tongxin looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and Qin Shu was so angry that he wanted to hit her.

"How can you be so ignorant, kid?" Qin Shu glared at Li Tongxin, then turned around and saw Xu Yingying had already started eating.

Qin Shu still said to Xu Yingying: "Yingying, don't bother with her. She is just like that."

"It's okay, Auntie, we were just joking." Xu Yingying said with a smile as she ate. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her eyes flashed with a smile, as if she didn't care about what had just happened.

"Yingying, you are sensible." Qin Shu nodded with satisfaction, a gratified smile on her face. She looked at Xu Yingying with eyes full of praise and love.

"Hmph." Li Tongxin grumbled, letting out a discontented snort. She lowered her head and continued to eat, not even glancing at the two of them.

Xu Yingying shook her head helplessly and buried her head in her food. "My cousin's true personality is so distinct," Xu Yingying said quietly to Xiaowu while eating breakfast. Her voice was only audible to the two of them, unnoticed by anyone else.

"Huh? Is that so? How come I didn't notice? I thought my little cousin was going to fight with you, the host," Xiao Wu said in surprise. He had been paying attention to the conversation between the three people and also kept an eye on the task progress bar, fearing that this conflict would affect the completion of the task. But now it seems that there is no big problem.

"My little cousin adjusted herself immediately after hearing what I said in the yard just now. She always acted like a little adult before because Aunt Qin asked her to put me first. Because the heroine's parents in the original book were divorced, Aunt Qin was worried that cousin Tong Xin would say something wrong and make me unhappy. Now, my little cousin finally has the self-confidence of a child of her age. This is the best. A ten-year-old child should not act like a little adult." Xu Yingying said with a smile, a gentle light in her eyes.

After hearing this, Xiao Wu suddenly realized and said, "I see! I was wondering why my little cousin suddenly became hostile to the host."

Xu Yingying smiled and explained, "After hearing what I said, cousin Tongxin didn't want me to be treated differently anymore. This makes me feel even more distressed. She's so young, and she thinks so much about me. I hope she can grow up freely like other children and not be bound by these things. So even though she said that because of what I said, I feel that she is more real this way."

Xiao Wu nodded, expressing his understanding. "The host is right. My cousin is still a child after all, and shouldn't take on adult responsibilities too early. However, I believe that under the host's influence, my cousin will become more cheerful and confident."

Xu Yingying smiled and said confidently: "Well, I believe she will. I will do my best to help her and let her have a happy childhood." After that, she turned to look at Li Tongxin who was eating breakfast, her eyes full of care and pampering.

"Cousin Yingying, why are you looking at me?" Li Tongxin noticed Xu Yingying staring at her the first time.

"Have you finished eating?" Xu Yingying replied.

"I'm done eating. What's wrong?" Li Tongxin continued to ask.

"Let's clean up and wash the dishes." Xu Yingying continued.

"No, no, Yingying, after you finish eating, go and have a rest and then see if you have any homework to do. Just leave these things to me." Aunt Qin said in her usual way of taking charge.

"Aunt, you are depriving us of the opportunity to contribute to this family." Xu Yingying said it a little harshly.

"How did it escalate to this point?" Qin Shu was confused by Xu Yingying.

"Cousin Tongxin?" Xu Yingying looked at Li Tongxin and waited for her reply.
