Chapter 201 Novice Mission 200
The man took the kite from Yuan Xiaoling and handed it to Li Zhiqiang, asking, "Do you think this kite can be repaired?"
Li Zhiqiang took the kite and examined it carefully. The wings were slightly damaged, but the overall structure wasn't significantly affected. Li Zhiqiang confidently replied, "No problem, just a minor problem."
Hearing Li Zhiqiang's answer, the man's expression relaxed slightly. However, the next words made Li Zhiqiang speechless.
The man said indifferently, "Okay, as long as you fix it, this matter will be over." Hearing this, Li Zhiqiang couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself. Li Zhiqiang thought this family's way of thinking was really strange. What did they mean by "as long as he fixes the kite, this matter will be over?" What kind of bandit logic was this? Did they really think that the two kites getting tangled was someone else's fault and had nothing to do with them?
Just as Li Zhiqiang was about to express his dissatisfaction, Xu Yingying suddenly came over and interrupted their conversation. When Xu Yingying heard what seemed to be Yuan Xiaoling's father said, she realized that the situation was a bit awkward, so she decided to take the initiative and communicate with Yuan Xiaoling, hoping to ease the tense atmosphere.
With a smile on her face, Xu Yingying walked lightly towards Yuan Xiaoling and asked softly, "It's Xiaoling?" Her voice was gentle and kind, like a spring breeze.
Yuan Xiaoling was surprised at Xu Yingying's sudden appearance. But seeing her well-behaved appearance, she was momentarily unsure how to respond. Her eyes flickered with confusion, her lips slightly parted, but no sound came out.
At this time, the man suspected to be Yuan Xiaoling's father asked curiously, "Are you classmates?" He looked back and forth between the two of them, trying to find the answer from their expressions.
Before Yuan Xiaoling had time to think about whether to respond to Xu Yingying's question, she was made even more helpless by the follow-up questions from someone who was suspected to be her father.
Yuan Xiaoling's face flushed to her ears. She lowered her head, clasped her hands tightly together, and looked a little nervous. She didn't want to look bad in front of her parents, so she finally raised her head, smiled, and said, "Dad, this is my classmate, Xu Yingying."
Xu Yingying looked at Yuan Xiaoling, who suddenly became as well-behaved as the girl next door, and knew in her heart that she was just pretending to be well-behaved.
So she thought about it and said to Yuan Xiaoling's father: "So you are Xiaoling's father. Thank you Xiaoling for taking care of me at school. Let my uncle repair this kite! After it is repaired, I will deliver it to you personally. Where are you going to rest?" After Xu Yingying said this, she directly took on the task of repairing the kite.
"Okay, since he's Xiaoling's classmate, let's forget about today. After you fix the kite, bring it to us under the parasol over there." Yuan Xiaoling's father instructed.
"Okay. You guys go back and have some rest first." Xu Yingying said as she saw the guests off.
After watching the three of them leave, Li Tongxin couldn't wait to get close to Xu Yingying and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Cousin Yingying, that family is so weird, why did you let Dad help them?"
Although Li Zhiqiang also felt a little unhappy, he did not speak out as bluntly as his daughter. Li Zhiqiang simply asked, "Is she your good friend?"
Faced with the two people's questions, Xu Yingying hurriedly explained: "Uncle, Tongxin, I just think there is no need to get too entangled with this kind of person. Since he happens to be a classmate I know, it's okay to help him out." Xu Yingying tried to convince the two people to understand her approach.
Li Zhiqiang nodded and said, "That's right. Since he's your classmate, we really can't make the relationship too awkward."
Li Tongxin said in confusion: "Right is right, wrong is wrong. How can you confuse cousin Yingying? And dad, why do you think there is nothing wrong with what cousin said?"
At this moment, Xu Yingying and Li Zhiqiang looked at each other. They were both wondering who would be the most appropriate person to speak up. It was obvious that Li Tongxin felt that she had been wronged, so why should she tolerate it?
Xu Yingying thought about it and realized that it was she who asked Li Zhiqiang for help, so she should explain it clearly.
"Tong Xin, listen to me. People like them won't reason with you." Xu Yingying said bluntly.
"But didn't we do anything wrong? Why should we..." Before Li Tongxin finished speaking, Xu Yingying interrupted her and continued.
"Tongxin, we're not wrong. But my cousin didn't want to ruin her relationship with her classmates. I hope you can forgive her." Xu Yingying took the responsibility directly on herself. Xu Yingying's words made Li Tongxin a little confused. She looked at her father, as if asking what he meant.
Li Zhiqiang never thought that Xu Yingying would say such a thing. He couldn't help but frowned and asked in a serious tone: "Yingying, are you hiding something from us?"
Xu Yingying didn't expect Li Zhiqiang's question to be so sharp, and it hit the deepest secret in her heart. Her eyes flickered, as if she was hesitating whether to tell the truth.
Seeing Xu Yingying's hesitation, Li Zhiqiang's heart sank. He realized that this matter might not be simple. He stared at Xu Yingying closely, trying to find some clues from her expression and eyes.
After hearing what her father said, Li Tongxin also felt that her cousin Yingying's behavior just now was not at all like the cousin Yingying she liked.
Did cousin Yingying encounter something like what dad said, which is why she is like this?
So she also said to Xu Yingying: "Cousin Yingying, you can tell me anything. I will always support you."
Hearing Li Tongxin's childish words of support, Xu Yingying couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing Xu Yingying suddenly crying, the father and daughter were even more at a loss.
"Cousin Yingying, why are you crying?" Li Tongxin stepped forward and took the arm of her favorite cousin Yingying, trying to make her feel that she could give her warmth.
After hearing what Li Tongxin said, Xu Yingying couldn't control herself and was about to wipe away her tears, but her hand was suddenly caught by Li Tongxin.
Xu Yingying was really at a loss for words, "Thank you." Xu Yingying looked at Li Tongxin and said.
"We are good sisters, there is no need to say thank you." Li Tongxin answered quickly, making Xu Yingying feel that she said it without thinking, which made Xu Yingying even more moved.
"Tongxin, uncle, I did have some unpleasantness with that classmate at school. So just now, I didn't want the conflict between our two families to escalate." Xu Yingying felt that there was no need to hide it, and speaking out these things might be more conducive to solving them.
