The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

After seeing Yang Anning off, Xiao Yuan held Anning in his arms to soothe her to sleep.

But Anning couldn’t fall asleep.

Unable to sleep, she started chatting with Xiao Yuan.

”I saw Yi Qihang’s soul wave, coupled with Yang Anning’s memories, I guess Yi Qihang must have been reincarnated. Before his reincarnation, he and Yang Anning were likely husband and wife. In that life, he lacked competence and capability, only able to rely on Yang Anning. He was cunning, but since Yang Anning was very strong and fierce, he dared not show it. In this life, he remembers everything from before reincarnation and knows many things, which is tantamount to predicting the future, so naturally, he will develop well.”

Xiao Yuan flipped over and pressed against Anning, his gaze slightly dark: ”Talking about other men in front of me, are you sure I won’t get angry?”

Anning knew Xiao Yuan was jealous.

Though Yang Anning was the one constantly entangled with Yi Qihang, now she was Yang Anning, and Yi Qihang was definitely eyeing her at the moment, which Xiao Yuan couldn’t tolerate.

She smiled and hooked her arm around Xiao Yuan’s neck: ”Then let’s talk about us, how should we talk about it?”

After exhausting themselves with Xiao Yuan all night, Anning woke up late the next day.

By the time she woke up, it was almost eight o’clock, and seeing the clock on the table, Anning hurriedly got up to wash and change her clothes.

Xiao Yuan had already prepared breakfast, seeing Anning come out with her hair loose, he had her eat first.

He poured Anning some milk, and brought over a pancake and stir-fried greens: ”I remember your schedule, you only have one class this morning. It starts at ten, so you can make it.”

Anning took a bite of the egg pancake, her face red from just having showered, looking unbearably cute: ”Mm, mm, you eat quickly too, after eating, hurry to work and make money.”

The two finished their meal and left together. Xiao Yuan had bought a car a couple of days ago, and now he was driving Anning to school.

He sent Anning to the school gate, and when she got out of the car, Xiao Yuan also got out.

He pulled Anning closer, and took out a red scarf from the car to wrap around her: ”It’s cold, don’t get chilled.”

Anning touched the scarf, a gentle smile on her face: ”Did you knit it yourself?”

Xiao Yuan coughed, touched his nose: ”Yes, forgot which life I learned it in, but with so many lives, one has to find something to pass the time. I’m not really good at these things, so I practice a bit more.”

As he said this, his face slightly reddened.

Anning found this version of Xiao Yuan utterly adorable, truly making her heart warm and soft.

She couldn’t help but give Xiao Yuan a hug: ”I’ll knit one for you later.”

Xiao Yuan immediately cheered up: ”Just like this one, when we go out together later, each wearing one, it’ll be obvious we’re a couple.”

”As you command.”

Anning laughed and agreed: ”You better go now, handle the company affairs early, when winter break comes, we’ll have to go back home together.”

”You go in first.”

Xiao Yuan pointed towards the school gate.

Anning had no choice but to walk towards the school, once inside the gate, she turned back to wave at Xiao Yuan.

Once Anning’s figure was out of sight, Xiao Yuan then drove away.

Just as he left, a person emerged from the corner.

This person was Yi Qihang.

He looked at Xiao Yuan’s car, his face dark, a storm brewing in his eyes.

Anning went to her class first, and on her way back to the dorm after class she happened to bump into Sun Keke.

She held onto Sun Keke and asked: ”How many classes do you have this afternoon?”

Sun Keke thought for a moment: ”Two classes, why, anything up?”

Anning smiled: ”I have two classes too, once classes are over, would you go shopping with me?”

”Sure.” Sun Keke readily agreed: ”I have to go buy some things myself, it’s getting colder, I need to buy some warm clothes, what are you buying?”

”Some yarn, to knit a sweater or something when I have time.”

Anning replied, and the two went for a meal together, then after finishing their afternoon classes, they went shopping.

As it happened, it started to snow lightly in the afternoon, so they dared not go too far, just wandered nearby, and returning with their purchases, they were as cold as monkeys.

Looking out the window, Anning noted that the snow had turned heavy: ”I guess the snow will keep falling until tomorrow morning. Dress warmly for classes tomorrow.”

Following her comment, the few girls started digging through their closets for warm clothes.

Anning stood by the window for a while before sitting down to knit a scarf.

While knitting it, she said: ”By the way, my boyfriend and I have planned to treat you to a meal tomorrow, so make sure to set aside time for me, and also, think about what you’d like to eat quickly.”

Tong Yue was happy to hear this: ”Really? Can we eat some hometown dishes? How about we find a Northeastern restaurant? I’m really longing for home food.”

Milan’s homesickness was also stirred: ”Yeah, I’d love some hometown dishes too.”

Both wanting hometown cuisine left Anning in trouble.

These two girls are from the south and north, their food preferences are very different, figuring out which place could offer their hometown dishes was tricky.

She looked at Liu Feifei and Chu Yu next, these two girls from the east and west, choosing hometown dishes would be challenging too. One loved sweet flavors, while the other wanted hand-grabbed lamb, kebabs and such, truly demanding.

Sun Keke knew Anning was in a bind, and promptly mediated: ”Hey, we don’t have any demands, we’ll just go along with whatever you decide.”

The four girls really weren’t that troublesome, in fact, personality-wise, they were generally nice, they quickly smiled and said: ”Yeah, we’ll see what your boyfriend decides, wherever he arranges for us we’ll go.”

Anning chuckled lightly.

Since Xiao Yuan was treating for the first time, Anning felt they needed to satisfy the guests.

After pondering for a while, she thought that since Xiao Yuan had a place not far from the school, hosting at home might be better than a hotel. This way everyone would be accommodated and feel warm and close.

Having thought it through, Anning called Xiao Yuan.

Despite it being late, Xiao Yuan hadn’t returned home yet, he was still at the company making graphics.

Upon receiving Anning’s call, Xiao Yuan immediately laughed and said: ”This can be arranged, I’ll take care of it, just remember to bring your classmates over after school tomorrow.”

Anning understood, Xiao Yuan intended to host at home.

After finishing work, Xiao Yuan returned home and began jotting down the menu, he listed the necessary ingredients, then enlisted Xiao Qin to help buy groceries at the market tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yuan went to the company, shortly after arriving, he saw a man in a black coat leading seven or eight big men in.

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, instantly recognizing them as Yi Qihang’s men.

He didn’t move, just pointed at the sofa: ”Sit.”

Yi Qihang, wanting to exude his aura, specifically wore a suit with a coat over it today, intending to intimidate Xiao Yuan.

However, the car broke down halfway, requiring a long repair before coming over, leaving Yi Qihang nearly frozen.

Already chilled, he just wanted to finish things quickly and go home to warm up.

Not caring whether Xiao Yuan got up to greet him, he sat down arrogantly.

Xiao Yuan glanced at Yi Qihang, forming a rather low opinion of him.

He thought Yi Qihang was a fool, a bit daft, overall not very sharp, in the village, he’d be called simple-minded.

Not considering the weather, ice-cold, snow everywhere, minus ten to twenty degrees, daring to wear that outfit, not fearing freezing to death.

”What’s the matter with you gentlemen?”

Xiao Yuan arranged his documents aside and asked with a faint smile.

Yi Qihang also sized up Xiao Yuan.

He had to admit Xiao Yuan’s looks were truly outstanding.

Among all the future celebrities he had encountered, none could compare to Xiao Yuan.

Seeing Xiao Yuan’s appearance clearly made Yi Qihang angrier.

He believed Xiao Yuan was using his looks to seduce Anning, a rural shepherd who hadn’t studied, barely literate, without Anning’s help, what company could he run, if not for her, he’d still be pasturing in the countryside.

Yi Qihang knew Anning’s capabilities well. Yesterday when he got Xiao Yuan’s data, he considered that in the village, Xiao Yuan seduced Anning with his face. Anning, a young girl who hadn’t seen much of the world back then, naturally fell for him.

Yi Qihang also understood Anning’s character.

Anning is someone who takes feelings seriously and is especially responsible. Once she is with you, without betrayal, she treats you exceedingly well, no matter the challenge faced, she strives to overcome it, she’s fundamentally someone who doesn’t give up once involved.

Hence, Yi Qihang got angrier the more he thought about it.

He thus intended to start by dealing with Xiao Yuan, feeling a village boy wouldn’t have much insight, should be easy to handle, with threats and bribes, surely Xiao Yuan would leave quickly.
