The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Chapter 209 Novice Mission 208

"Thank you, aunt, uncle, and Tongxin! Thank you for celebrating my birthday in advance. I'm so happy!" Xu Yingying's voice trembled slightly, her eyes were filled with tears, but there was a happy smile on the corner of her mouth.

At that moment, Xu Yingying felt the deep love and care from her family in the mission world. This special birthday made Xu Yingying realize that no matter where she is, her family will always be her strongest support. She will always remember this warm family love in her heart.

"Why bother saying thank you or not? We are a family. I wasn't sure if I could celebrate your birthday when the time comes, so I decided to celebrate it for you in advance. Please don't be angry."

"How could that be? I'm so happy that I don't have time to express my feelings. How could I be angry with you, aunt?" Xu Yingying said quickly.

"Mom, I thought you never asked for my opinion and always asked for my cousin's opinion. I thought you ignored me because you cared more about my cousin, so I was angry with you." Li Tongxin on the side suddenly broke down and burst into tears.

Qin Shu and Xu Yingying looked at the crying Li Tongxin with a trace of helplessness on their faces. "You child!" Qin Shu sighed, then walked over to comfort Li Tongxin.

"Mom, am I stupid? How could I think like that?" Li Tongxin said while sobbing and choking.

"Okay, stop crying. Today is your cousin's birthday, we should be happy." Qin Shu tried to change the subject, hoping to stop his daughter from crying.

"Yes, today is my birthday celebration for your cousin, so don't cry too long." Xu Yingying also echoed.

Hearing what her mother and cousin Yingying said, Li Tongxin tried hard to stop crying and sobbed, "Okay, I get it. I won't cry anymore. Cousin Yingying, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Please don't be angry with me."

"Okay, I'm not angry. But you have to promise your cousin that if anything happens in the future, you must tell everyone directly and don't let yourself think about it." Xu Yingying gently touched Li Tongxin's head.

"Okay, I understand. I will change it." Li Tongxin nodded vigorously, indicating that she accepted the advice of her cousin Yingying.

"Let's cut the cake!" Li Zhiqiang said to the three of them.

"Yes, yes, Yingying, make a wish first, and then you can cut the cake." Qin Shu said seriously.

"I'll help my cousin light the candles." Li Tongxin also wanted to do something for Xu Yingying, so she volunteered to take on this task.

"I won't make a wish. I'll just cut the cake." Xu Yingying felt that she was not the real heroine of the original book. She never believed that making a wish could come true all of a sudden.

"Cousin Yingying, why don't you make a wish? Of course you have to make a wish and blow out the candles on your birthday!" Li Tongxin widened her eyes and said seriously.

Looking at Li Tongxin with a serious face in front of her, Xu Yingying didn't know how to refuse her for a moment.

"Yingying, Tongxin is right. Just make a wish before you blow out the candles!" Qin Shu heard Xu Yingying's refusal and realized that Xu Yingying was no longer the innocent little girl. She had begun to have her own independent thoughts and ideas. At the same time, she also knew that the so-called wish was just a way to make children happy.

"Okay." Xu Yingying didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so she obeyed them, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish. After a while, Xu Yingying opened her eyes and gently blew out the candles. Then Xu Yingying began to divide the cake.

"Cousin Yingying, you eat first, I'll help you divide it!" Li Tongxin saw that Xu Yingying had already cut the cake, so she offered to help.

Xu Yingying smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your help." Then she handed the knife to Li Tongxin.

Li Tongxin took the knife and carefully cut the cake into even pieces, then placed them on small plates. While she was distributing the cake, she also chatted with everyone, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

"Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you!" Xu Yingying said with a smile as she watched Li Tongxin's skillful movements.

Li Tongxin nodded and continued to work. After a while, all the cakes were divided into plates.

Li Tongxin shared the cake with Qin Shu and Li Zhiqiang before picking up her own plate and began to enjoy the delicious cake. She took a bite of the cake, and the rich chocolate flavor immediately filled her mouth, making her squint her eyes and reveal a satisfied smile on her face.

Qin Shu also picked up a piece of cake and tasted it, praising it as he ate, "Mm, it tastes good."

Xu Yingying felt very warm in her heart as she watched them eat so happily. She knew that this birthday party was not only to celebrate her birthday, but also to show the love and blessings of Qin Shu's family to her.

However, when she thought about her purpose in coming here, she felt a sense of conflict. She had originally come here to complete a mission, but now she was gradually being drawn into this warm family atmosphere. She didn't know whether to remain calm or let herself be immersed in it.

At this moment, Qin Shu suddenly turned around, looked at Xu Yingying and said, "Yingying, there are still a few pieces of cake. You can take them back to your aunt later."

Xu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Oh, okay, thank you, auntie."

Xu Yingying took the box containing the cakes, and her mood became a little complicated. She gently stroked the box, as if she could feel the warmth and care contained in it. These cakes were not just a gift, but also a kind of emotional transmission, representing Qin Shu's care and love for her. However, this feeling made her confused and uneasy. She knew that she was just a passer-by and should not have too many feelings for this family. After all, she did not belong here and would leave sooner or later. However, whenever she faced the enthusiasm and care of Qin Shu's family, her heart always involuntarily moved closer to them, making it difficult for her to resist this warmth.

When Xu Yingying returned home with the cake, Aunt Xu saw the cake box and asked curiously, "Why did you buy a cake all of a sudden? Is it someone's birthday?"

Xu Yingying smiled and replied softly, "Auntie said my birthday is in two days, so she celebrated it for me in advance today."

Xu Xiaofeng nodded, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes: "Your aunt is really good to you!"

However, at this moment, Xu Xiaofeng noticed that Xu Yingying's expression was a little dull, and she seemed to be lost in thought.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" Xu Xiaofeng asked with concern.

Xu Yingying came back to her senses and shook her head: "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."

Xu Xiaofeng looked at Xu Yingying, a sense of worry welling up in her heart.
