The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Chapter 211 Novice Mission 210

"Yingying, wake up! The sun has set, get up and have dinner." Xu Xiaofeng called softly, but Xu Yingying was still immersed in her dream and did not respond at all.

Xu Xiaofeng shook her head helplessly, wondering why the child was sleeping so soundly. Could it be that something that happened today made her so tired? Or that something was bothering her? A series of questions flooded her mind, but seeing her niece's flushed face, Xu Xiaofeng was still a little worried and decided to wake Yingying up.

"Yingying, wake up!" Xu Xiaofeng patted Xu Yingying's arm and shouted.

"Mom, I'm so hungry..." Xu Yingying murmured to herself, as if she had not yet fully woken up from her dream.

When Xu Xiaofeng heard Xu Yingying calling her "Mom," she knew that the child still missed her mother. She just didn't usually show it. She said worriedly, "Silly child, you've slept all afternoon, it's strange you're not hungry! Hurry up and wash up, Auntie made your favorite cola chicken wings and salad cucumber!"

As she spoke, Xu Xiaofeng gently patted Xu Yingying's head, stood up, and walked out of the room. Xu Yingying stretched, yawned, and slowly got out of bed to wash up. When she finished cleaning up and came to the living room, the dining table was already filled with sumptuous dishes, emitting an enticing aroma.

Xu Xiaofeng smiled and asked Xu Yingying to sit down. Then she picked up a piece of cola chicken wing and put it in Xu Yingying's bowl. She asked with concern, "Yingying, did you not get enough rest last night? Seeing that you slept for so long this afternoon, you must not have slept well last night, right?"

While enjoying the chicken wings that her aunt put into the bowl, Xu Yingying answered vaguely, "Maybe it's because I went to the park to fly kites with my cousin Tong Xin this morning, and I'm a little tired."

Xu Xiaofeng nodded and said earnestly, "So that's how it is. I thought you didn't sleep well last night."

Xu Yingying felt the care and love from her aunt, and her heart was filled with warmth. She smiled and nodded in response, saying that she would take good care of herself. The aunt and niece ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. After dinner, Xu Yingying took the initiative to help wash the dishes, while Xu Xiaofeng looked at her sensible niece with satisfaction, her face filled with a happy smile.

Xu Xiaofeng sat in the hall waiting for Xu Yingying to finish washing the dishes and come out to have a good chat with her.

When she heard the word "Mom" when she woke up Yingying just now, she knew that Xu Yingying still had a thorn in her heart, but she never said it. As the person closest to Xu Yingying now, Xu Xiaofeng felt that she had an obligation to guide Xu Yingying well.

After waiting for a while, Xu Yingying cleaned up the dishes and prepared to go back to her room. As soon as she walked out of the kitchen door, she found Xu Xiaofeng staring at her without blinking.

"Aunt? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Xu Yingying asked.

Xu Xiaofeng was a little surprised that Xu Yingying took over. But she soon remembered the purpose of her conversation with Xu Yingying, and said generously: "Yingying, come over here and sit down. I have something to talk to you about."

Xu Yingying didn't know what her aunt suddenly wanted to talk to her about, but since her aunt wanted to talk, Xu Yingying sat next to her aunt.

"Aunt, what do you want to tell me?" Xu Yingying asked.

"Yingying, this is it. The incident with your parents happened a while ago, and I've been wanting to find a chance to talk to you about it. But I never found the chance before. Tonight, I happen to be free, so I'll talk to you about it." Aunt Xu thought about it and got straight to the point to avoid beating around the bush.

Xu Yingying hadn't expected this. She'd thought her behavior had already stopped Aunt Xu and Aunt Qin from discussing the subject with her. Actually, there wasn't much to discuss. She wasn't the original heroine, so these things didn't matter to her. But after all, she was occupying someone else's body, so she had to act like it was real.

"Then aunt, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xu Yingying continued to ask Xu Xiaofeng.

"That's it. If you have any mood swings, or want to say something but can't find anyone to talk to, you can tell me. I may not be able to give you any advice, but I hope you know that there are always people who love you around you." Xu Xiaofeng said seriously.

"Aunt, I know, but I haven't been feeling emotional lately." Xu Yingying said puzzledly. Did her aunt suddenly show concern because she felt something was wrong with her? But she didn't feel that she was showing any abnormality?

"This afternoon, as soon as you came back, you went back to your room. Auntie was very worried about you. Do you still want to hide this from Auntie?" Xu Xiaofeng confronted Xu Yingying about what she had observed. Xu Yingying tilted her head and asked, "What?"

"As soon as you came back, you said that your aunt celebrated your birthday in advance, but you looked so tired. You didn't look happy at all. You must have remembered that it was your parents who celebrated your birthday in previous years, right?" Xu Xiaofeng said coherently.

Even Xu Yingying thought what Xu Xiaofeng said was true. But the truth was, you returned home that afternoon feeling exhausted and sleepy. It felt like you needed to go to bed. The scenes you saw in your dreams came one after another, and before you could figure out how to deal with Yan Wu in your dream, your aunt woke you up and asked you to eat dinner.

By the way, this had never happened to her before, so was it Yan Wu who was leading her into the dream?

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying felt a chill on her back again.

Who exactly is this Yan Wu? Why is he staring at me?

Seeing Xu Yingying silent again, Xu Xiaofeng stared at her to see what was going on.

Xu Yingying thought about it for a while before she realized that Xu Xiaofeng had been looking at her, and then she realized that she had not answered Aunt Xu's words.

"Aunt, it's not like that. I woke up very early this morning, and then I got up too early to make breakfast for my aunt's family. After breakfast, I went flying kites with my uncle and cousin Tongxin. We flew kites all morning. When we got back to my aunt's house, my aunt asked us to go out for lunch together. It was almost two o'clock when we got back. I felt like I had been working non-stop from five in the morning until two in the afternoon. I was really tired. It's not that I'm unhappy that my aunt celebrated my birthday with me, but maybe celebrating my birthday also consumed my energy. I was really sleepy." Xu Yingying tried hard to explain why she went to bed as soon as she got home today. Maybe she really got up too early as she said.

"Really?" Xu Xiaofeng was still a little skeptical, especially since Xu Yingying had thought for a long time before answering. What she said now seemed more like a lie.

"Really, really, I would never lie to you, my aunt!" Xu Yingying promised.

"Then you may have really gotten up too early today." Xu Xiaofeng said.
