The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

”Take a rest for a while.”

Xiao Yuan helped Anning to sit on the sofa.

Anning held onto him and pulled him to sit down, too: ”You take a rest for a while as well.”

Their abilities were about the same, and since Anning was exhausted, Xiao Yuan must also be feeling quite tired.

”I’m fine.”

Xiao Yuan smiled as he prepared to stand up: ”I’ll go make breakfast for you.”

Anning pulled him back: ”Let’s go out and buy some later, just rest first, take a break.”

”Alright.”

Xiao Yuan wrapped his arm around Anning, nestling on the sofa with her.

He really liked the current atmosphere.

Compared to being an Emperor or an immortal, Xiao Yuan actually preferred this normal life of ordinary people, he enjoyed the earthly breath of the mortal world.

After resting for a while, they both went downstairs to buy breakfast, and then went home to take care of their own kids.

Anning’s vacation time had already ended, today after breakfast she should go to work, and before heading to work Anning had mentioned transferring some money to Xiao Yuan.

But before she managed to do that, the shop selling magic artifacts transferred a sum of money to Xiao Yuan.

This time, because the magic artifact Xiao Yuan bought with Liu San wasn’t cheap, the boss made a big profit and of course wouldn’t treat Xiao Yuan poorly, transferring tens of thousands of yuan to him at once.

Xiao Yuan showed Anning the transfer record on his phone: ”I have money now, don’t worry, keep your money well saved, save it to buy a house and do renovations.”

Knowing Xiao Yuan’s financial situation wasn’t tight, Anning felt relieved.

She hurried to school, and once she got there, she canceled her leave and continued her teaching career.

Anning had once been a teacher, and was the kind of famous teacher who was able to nurture even the most mischievous, academically struggling class into talents. She had a lot of experience in teaching, so even without the memory of the original body, Anning could teach well.

And now, combining the original body’s memory with her own experience, naturally she taught even better.

Anning taught Chinese to the second-year sixth and seventh classes, and on this day, her students felt a change in her teaching style, the lessons were better, and even the few students who didn’t do well academically in the class were mesmerized by Anning’s lessons.

After the lessons of that day, many students felt they learned a lot in class, and they remembered these pieces of knowledge clearly; if they were to solve problems now, they would generally succeed.

As school ended, the students in the sixth and seventh classes were still discussing.

”Has our Teacher Qin transformed after this divorce?”

”Isn’t it said that marriage is like a second life for women? Then divorce should be similar, right.”

”If divorce has such effects, forgive my dark thoughts, I wish all teachers would just get divorced once.”

”Haha, you all feel Teacher Qin is teaching better too, right? Honestly, my Chinese isn’t that good, especially ancient texts, what are they even? I really don’t get it, but this lesson from Teacher Qin, I actually gained quite a lot, I surprisingly understood a bit of ancient texts, do you think Teacher Qin enlightened us?”

Then, this student was smacked on the back: ”What are you saying? Teacher Qin has always been quite good, but she’s even better now.”

”That’s true indeed.”

Anning finished her class and rushed home.

Previously, she arrived home from school around the same time as the kids, and once home, she hurried to prepare dinner.

Today she was much more relaxed.

On the surface, Xiao Yuan looked like an unemployed wanderer, he didn’t have much to do, so naturally he started preparing dinner early.

He cared for Anning and wanted the kids to eat well, so dinner was prepared especially richly, quite different from the simple fare Anning used to have after finishing her classes.

Anning and the kids returned from school, as soon as they entered the door they smelled a delicious aroma.

Wearing an apron, Xiao Yuan emerged from the kitchen with a spatula: ”You’re back.”

Anning smiled and responded, while setting down her bag and entering the kitchen: ”Need my help?”

Xiao Yuan nudged her away: ”No need, I’ll be done soon, quickly take a rest, we can eat in ten minutes.”

As they spoke, the two girls from the Xiao Family also came over.

Anning first took the kids to wash their hands, then sat down to chat for a while, and the dishes were ready.

”Our house really has a rich meal today.”

Zhao Xiaocong sat down and looked at the table full of dishes.

Xiao Yuan brought over a pot of soup: ”Mainly because our family has more people now, so the food prepared is naturally more, and it looks richer.”

He put down the soup and sat down, smiling: ”Also, I recently received a sum of money, enough for us to eat well in the near term.”

”Alright, let’s eat quickly.”

Anning picked some dishes for Xiao Yuan: ”Thank you for your hard work.”

Zhao Xiaocong quickly added: ”Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Xiao.”

”Everyone worked hard, everyone worked hard.”

Xiao Yuan waved his hand with a smile: ”Don’t look at me, eat quickly.”

After dinner, Anning tutored the kids, while Xiao Yuan took Xiao Yilin for a walk.

The father and daughter left the community and took a loop around the nearby park.

Xiao Yuan walked and asked Xiao Yilin: ”Is something happening with you at school recently?”

Xiao Yilin felt a little guilty and then replied somewhat angrily: ”What could possibly happen, Dad, did you hear something from someone? Really, just married and now managing everything, did she badmouth me.”

Xiao Yuan stopped and looked at Xiao Yilin, his gaze was heavy, making Xiao Yilin feel even guiltier and somewhat afraid.

”Yilin, do you know what your dad does for a living?”

Xiao Yilin raised her neck: ”What does it matter? You’re just a swindler, Dad, why do you insist on doing this? Can’t you find a decent job? Do you know I dare not mention you at school? Other kids’ fathers are teachers, policemen, store managers, or executives, but yours, you just earn money by deceiving people through fortune-telling, when people ask about my dad, I dare not say, I...”

Xiao Yuan’s eyes revealed a trace of hostility: ”Am I making you lose face?”

”Yes.”

Xiao Yilin gritted her teeth: ”From a young age because of you, I lost face many times, Mom got sick because of you too, why do you persist in this foolishness, is deceiving that good...”

Xiao Yuan suddenly chuckled: ”Alright, let’s go home.”

He turned and walked back with long strides.

Xiao Yilin hesitated for a moment before catching up: ”Dad, don’t be so selfish, okay? Can you consider our feelings, you...”

Xiao Yuan ignored her.

”Dad, next week my class is hosting a parent meeting, don’t attend, let Aunt Qin go.”

Xiao Yilin added.

”Alright.”

Xiao Yuan left that word then went back upstairs directly into the community.

With Xiao Yilin, Xiao Yuan had run out of patience, this kid’s situation, Xiao Yuan didn’t want to manage anymore.

Mainly because Xiao Yuan thought Xiao Yilin’s mind wasn’t upright, plus she was big enough now that she couldn’t be changed; rather than wasting energy and making himself frustrated, he might as well let go, her future to be decided by her own fate.

Xiao Yuan wasn’t running a charity, he wouldn’t selflessly sacrifice for everyone.

If this was his own biological daughter, he would definitely come up with all kinds of ways to help.

But this wasn’t the original body’s child, wasn’t born by him, wasn’t raised by him, he couldn’t manage that much.
