The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 772: Chapter 754: I Am Not a Slut 65

The movie ended, and An Nan and Wei Jiaming came out of the theater just in time to bump into Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.

An Nan quickly pulled Wei Jiaming over: ”Dad, Mom, how did you get here?”

Mr. Jiang said irritably: ”What, can’t we come to see a movie?”

”Sure, sure.”

An Nan joked with a smile: ”Why not, what movie did you watch?”

Mrs. Jiang laughed: ”The same one as you, your dad and I were sitting right behind you two.”

Jiang Anan’s face turned red instantly.

Wei Jiaming also felt quite awkward.

After a while, Jiang Anan finally asked: ”So you were the old man coughing all the time in the cinema.”

”What are you talking about.”

Wei Jiaming hurriedly pulled Jiang Anan: ”What nonsense are you talking about, uncle doesn’t look old at all, that old man must be someone else, definitely not uncle.”

He gave Mr. Jiang a flattering smile: ”Uncle looks so strong and vigorous, if you say he’s just over thirty everyone would definitely believe.”

Mr. Jiang’s mood seemed to improve a bit.

Wei Jiaming then hurriedly said: ”I was thinking of consulting with uncle about something when I get a chance.”

Mr. Jiang asked: ”What’s the matter, talk about it now.”

Wei Jiaming smiled: ”I want to develop meat sauce, but my culinary skills are not very good. I made Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) myself before, and it didn’t taste good at all. I heard from Nannan that uncle is skilled in this.”

He gave a thumbs up: ”I have tasted the dishes from uncle’s restaurant, and they are absolutely amazing. I’d like to learn from uncle how to make meat sauce. Of course, hiring uncle as a consultant for our factory is also an option. When would you have time to guide me?”

When it came to cooking, Mr. Jiang was absolutely in his element: ”Fine, come over sometime and let’s have a good chat. We have everything at home. We can make Zhajiangmian, and I’ll show you how to do it. Whether it’s Zhajiang, meat sauce, or marinated meat, I’m good at all of those.”

”That’s really great, thank you in advance, uncle.”

Wei Jiaming bowed and curtsied: ”Isn’t there a saying that having an elderly at home is like having a treasure? Uncle is like the Taishan Beidou of our family. I’ll need to consult you in the future.”

”That’s right, I dare not brag about other things, but you can definitely count on me for culinary advice.”

Mr. Jiang felt his throat itch no more, his legs didn’t hurt, teeth weren’t sore, he felt energized all over.

Meanwhile, Gu Kai finally met An Ping.

He was waiting at the ice rink, hoping to catch Jiang Anping. While he didn’t see her for a long time, other girls approached him.

Gu Kai kept a cold face and didn’t respond, and after several girls were snubbed, no more came to talk.

A handsome guy is fine, but a cold face won’t warm hearts like a gentle brother.

Only when Jiang Anping and a few friends appeared at the ice rink did Gu Kai’s mood slightly improve.

Watching Jiang Anping and the others get their skates on and enter the rink, Gu Kai quickly put his own on and staggered onto the ice.

He had hardly played these kinds of common entertainments before, so he really didn’t know how. Not daring to skate straight away for fear of an embarrassing fall, he held onto the railing and slid slowly.

Jiang Anping was skating exceptionally well, pulling off various stunts almost flying around the rink. After a few laps, she became the brightest star on the ice.

Several young guys came to chat with Jiang Anping, and some even joined her skating.

Gu Kai was frantic watching from the side, helpless.

He didn’t dare to leave the railing, let alone join Jiang Anping in the center of the rink.

Not until Jiang Anping was tired and took a bottle of drink to sit and rest did Gu Kai quickly go over. He took a seat next to her, and right after he did, another young guy came with a drink and sat down on the other side of Jiang Anping.

”How about another round later?”

The young man raised his eyebrows looking at Jiang Anping, his whole being exuding youth and enthusiasm. He had just skated for a while, with beads of sweat still on his forehead, and damp hair in front, all of which added to his handsomeness.

Jiang Anping smiled, just about to agree, when Gu Kai urgently said, ”Miss, could you teach me how to skate? I’ve been trying to learn on my own, but I just can’t get it.”

Gu Kai really put himself out there, abandoning all pretense of pride. He was so much older than Jiang Anping, yet he referred to her as ’miss’ so naturally.

For some reason, Jiang Anping felt a strange familiarity with Gu Kai, a closeness.

Seeing the awkward look on Gu Kai’s face, she smiled gently at him, ”Okay, let me rest for a moment and then I’ll teach you. Skating isn’t really difficult, it’s all about maintaining balance. Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll take you around twice and you should pretty much get the hang of it.”

Of course, it would be best to be led around twice.

Gu Kai smiled and thanked her.

The young man on the other side was fuming, thinking to himself that this guy was really sly, using An Ping’s kindness to get close to her.

This young man had liked An Ping for a long time but never dared to express his feelings.

He had also spent a lot of time inquiring and finally found out from a classmate that An Ping was going to skate today. He arrived early only to see his chance to get close to An Ping being stolen, making him so angry that his cheeks puffed out almost like a frog’s.

After resting for a while, Jiang Anping stood up and reached out her hand to Gu Kai, ”Let’s go, I’ll take you around twice.”

This...

Gu Kai’s face turned red on the spot.

He thought to himself, Pingping is going to shake hands with me, I’m going to shake hands right now, does this mean I can get even closer afterwards?

With excitement, he took hold of Jiang Anping’s extended hand and stood up.

Jiang Anping also encouraged him, ”Don’t be afraid, hold my hand tight, I’ll lead you to slowly skate. Right, just like this, take it slow, don’t rush, and maintain your balance.”

Jiang Anping was the youngest daughter in the family, never having to do any household chores. She grew up pampered and her hands were particularly well cared for, with nice shape, long fingers, and fair skin on the backs of her hands, while the skin of her palms was delicate and smooth.

Because of the recent skating, Jiang Anping had worked up a sweat and her palms felt even more slippery.

As Gu Kai held Jiang Anping’s hand, he could feel the difference between a man’s and a woman’s skin texture. His heart pounded like a drum; he didn’t even hear what Jiang Anping was saying clearly.

After Jiang Anping led Gu Kai around the rink twice, Gu Kai was able to skate on his own, but he didn’t want to let go of her hand. Pretending he hadn’t learned yet, he shamelessly asked Jiang Anping to take him for another two rounds.

Afterwards, Gu Kai bought lots of drinks and food, saying he wanted to treat Jiang Anping and her friends.

They played until very late, and when leaving, Gu Kai shamelessly chased after Jiang Anping to ask for her Flying Messenger contact.

As Jiang Anping and her friends went home, her friends teased her, ”Pingping, that handsome guy just now seems to like you, don’t you think? He was sticking to you all evening and even asked for your Flying Messenger...”

Jiang Anping quickly denied, ”Nothing of the sort, he didn’t say anything about liking me, don’t make wild guesses.”

A friend then said, ”Anyway, you’ve added each other on Flying Messenger, talk more in the future. I think that handsome guy is quite good, and so handsome...”

”Yeah, yeah, and since you don’t have a boyfriend, why not give it a try?”

Jiang Anping retorted with puffed cheeks, ”Stop talking nonsense, I’m not discussing this with you anymore, I need to rush home or the queen mother will blow her top.”

By the time Jiang Anping returned, Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, and An Nan had already arrived home.

Xiao Hua was lying by the door, seeing Jiang Anping return, then glanced at the clock in the living room and meowed at Jiang Anping.

Mr. Jiang looked at the time, ”How come Second hasn’t come back yet? Give her a call, tell her to come home quickly.”

Mrs. Jiang gave Mr. Jiang a pinch, ”Stop interfering so much. Young people these days... Besides, what time is it now?”

Mr. Jiang, unconvinced, then said to An Ping, ”Third, call your second sister and tell her to come back soon.”

Third would not stoop to do such an annoying task, ”I’m tired, I’m off to take a shower first.”
