Chapter 215 Novice Mission 214
Chen Xiaofen thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's find a suitable time this weekend."
After hearing Chen Xiaofen's agreement, Yao Chenxi nodded reluctantly, indicating that she would attend the party. However, she still firmly put forward her conditions: "I can be there, but I won't help with cooking, and you can't force me to eat whatever I want."
When Ma Jiajia heard the first half of Yao Chenxi's words, she was eager to agree, but the second half left her a little confused. So she asked curiously, "Chenxi, what do you mean by 'force'?"
Yao Chenxi explained: "It means exactly what it says. Anyway, you must agree to my request first, otherwise I won't go."
Ma Jiajia quickly said, "Okay, okay, I promise you everything. As long as we can get together and have fun, I don't care too much about these little details."
Ma Jiajia then turned to the others and asked if they were free. Xu Yingying said it should be no problem, while Lin Xiumin said she would follow everyone's arrangements. Ma Jiajia happily announced, "Then it's settled. We're going out together this weekend!"
During the day, apart from the two times she met Ma Jiajia, which made Xu Yingying feel that her time was full, the rest of the time at school passed by in a flash.
She didn't stop. Xu Yingying thought that Li Tongxin would come over in the evening, and she guessed that today's plot would still be unfolding with Li Tongxin.
Things turned out just as Xu Yingying had guessed. When Xu Yingying returned home, Xu Xiaofeng had already taken Li Tongxin home.
As soon as Xu Yingying opened the door, she saw a figure rushing out of the house, followed by a clear and pleasant voice: "Cousin Yingying, why are you just getting out of school?"
Xu Yingying looked closely and saw that it was Li Tongxin running towards her with an excited look on her face. She smiled and replied, "Cousin Tongxin, are you out of school so early?"
Li Tongxin nodded vigorously, with a happy smile on her face, and said, "Yes, I came back a long time ago, and I have finished all my homework! So I have been waiting for you to come back~"
Xu Yingying couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked in confusion: "Wow, you are so proactive?"
Li Tongxin chuckled and explained, "Because I want to wait for you to come back so we can play together!"
However, Xu Yingying shook her head helplessly, saying that she still had unfinished homework to deal with. So she suggested, "But I haven't finished my homework yet. How about you go read a book and wait for me?"
Hearing this, Li Tongxin's eyes, which were originally full of expectation, dimmed instantly, but she still responded obediently: "Okay, then, I'll wait for you, cousin Yingying..."
In fact, for Li Tongxin, who had just arrived, this unfamiliar environment and the absence of her parents made her feel uneasy and fearful. Only when Xu Yingying returned home could she feel a little warmth and comfort, so she always couldn't help but want to get close to Xu Yingying, as if she could get some sense of security just by staying with her.
After seeing that Xu Yingying was indeed doing her homework seriously, Li Tongxin suddenly wondered if she would disturb her cousin Yingying's studies if she stayed in the room all the time.
But it is impossible for her to leave cousin Yingying now. She has finally found cousin Yingying again. How can she leave her so soon?
Xiao Wu: "Host, this is the seventh time my little cousin has secretly looked at you."
Xu Yingying: "Don't worry about her, she's just not used to it for the time being."
Xu Yingying knew that as a newly arrived guest, Li Tongxin would need some time to adapt to this completely new environment. Furthermore, the fact that Li Tongxin had the courage to approach her undoubtedly gave her a sense of security.
Although Li Tongxin is usually carefree and informal, Xu Yingying, who is very sensitive, can still perceive that deep down she is actually very dependent on herself. This feeling of being relied on by others makes her feel both unfamiliar and not disgusted.
When all the homework was finished, Xu Yingying turned her eyes to Li Tongxin and asked with concern: "Are you still not used to the life here?" Li Tongxin never expected that her cousin Yingying would suddenly ask her this. She fell silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Xu Yingying looked at Li Tongxin, smiled gently, and continued: "It's okay, if you have any discomfort or unaccustomed to it, you can tell me."
Li Tongxin raised her head, a trace of confusion and uneasiness flashed in her eyes, but she still answered firmly: "I didn't."
Xu Yingying seemed to see Li Tongxin's inner turmoil. She patted her shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't think too much. In fact, a sudden change in environment does make people have many different ideas. Don't worry that this idea is just yours."
Li Tongxin frowned in confusion and asked, "Cousin Yingying, what does this mean?"
Xu Yingying explained seriously: "It means exactly what it says. Because the situation you are facing now is actually something I have encountered before. So, I think I can talk to you in depth about this topic." Xu Yingying's eyes were sincere and firm, as if she wanted Li Tongxin to feel her care and understanding.
"When my parents divorced, I also went through a difficult time to accept it. I was completely overwhelmed at that time and didn't know how to deal with these difficult problems." While recalling the pain of the past, Xu Yingying stared at Li Tongxin, hoping that she could understand that her situation was not isolated.
"However, cousin Tongxin, you are only here to stay for a few days. Your aunt and the others will come to pick you up in a few days. Therefore, you really don't have to worry too much about these problems." Xu Yingying comforted Li Tongxin, trying to let her let go of the burden in her heart.
Seeing Xu Yingying express herself so sincerely, Li Tongxin couldn't help but feel that her current predicament was insignificant compared to what her cousin Yingying had experienced. It was truly a small matter compared to a big one! "Thank you, cousin Yingying, I understand," Li Tongxin responded gratefully.
"I'm just telling you what I know. If you have any questions, you can tell me." Xu Yingying said seriously.
After hearing Xu Yingying's words, Li Tongxin, who had been feeling a little embarrassed since arriving at Xu Yingying's house, gradually calmed down.
"Cousin Yingying, now I understand how you felt when you first came to my house to spend the night." Li Tongxin recalled that weekend a few months ago.
