The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

The reason variables are called variables is because they are uncontrollable.

Anning also knew in her heart, she understood, no matter how precisely she calculated, it was impossible to control the variables of a world, so she could only give up.

”It’s all because of that Sun Hong.”

Anning said angrily.

Regarding the world rules and the laws of time and space, Anning and Xiao Yuan were well aware.

They both understood that it was precisely because of Sun Hong’s existence that Yin Peiran existed.

Xiao Yuan embraced Anning and sighed: ”Originally, LuLu was supposed to be the heroine. If she hadn’t been swapped by Sun Hong from a young age, she should have grown up in the Xiao Family, found the treasure left by the Xiao Family ancestors when she returned home with her original self, relied on her good talent and Xiao Family bloodline to become the Great Celestial Master, then met Du Heng, her destined one, and lived a fulfilled and happy life. Unfortunately, with the arrival of Sun Hong’s otherworldly soul, LuLu was swapped to the Zhang Family at birth, which also led to Yin Peiran.”

This was calculated by Xiao Yuan, similar to Anning’s calculations: ”Yin Peiran exists because of LuLu, and if he cannot be with LuLu, who knows what he might do. I thought that in the last life LuLu died tragically, so perhaps Yin Peiran did something remarkable, forcing the World Consciousness to save itself, thus giving LuLu a chance to be reborn.”

”Ha.”

Xiao Yuan laughed: ”Don’t worry about that. Whatever LuLu wants, whoever she wants to be with, it’s up to her heart. If she wants to be with Yin Peiran, we won’t stop her, but if she chooses Du Heng, we also bless it. As for Yin Peiran... isn’t it just the two of us? If he really wants to do something uncontrollable, we can take care of it.”

Those words had quite the boldness.

Anning looked up at Xiao Yuan, her eyes full of smiles: ”Alright.”

She lowered her head, playing with Xiao Yuan’s fingers: ”Actually, being your daughter is quite good, having you always protect me, feels really happy. Do you remember Yin’er and them? They should be the happiest and most carefree princesses in history.”

”Sadly.” Xiao Yuan mentioned daughters from who knows how many lifetimes ago, his eyes softened: ”LuLu and the others were born in the wrong era. If they were born in ancient times, I would give them cities as dowries. Now really, not even a city, even giving a manor takes effort.”

This guy is invisibly obsessed with his daughters.

Anning pouted: ”You try hard then, four daughters, four manors, go for it, I believe in you.”

Xiao Yuan hugged Anning: ”I’ll first work hard to build you a manor.”

Xiao Lu had no idea her parents were worried about her; she followed Yin Peiran to his home.

As they entered the house, Yin Peiran poured a cup of water for Xiao Lu and handed it to her: ”Please sit first.”

Xiao Lu sat down with a smile as she looked around.

This abode was quite nice; a small two-bedroom apartment, clean and tidy, but a bit too simple, lacking any sense of liveliness.

”You haven’t cooked since you moved here, have you?”

So many years without contact, even though they were close before, Xiao Lu still felt a bit distant, unsure of what to say, so she asked just to make conversation.

”Living alone I don’t bother cooking for myself.”

Yin Peiran sat next to Xiao Lu: ”How have you been doing?”

This question brought a happy smile to Xiao Lu’s face: ”I’ve been doing very well, my parents are particularly good to me. By the way, I forgot to tell you, actually, I was swapped at birth, those Zhang Family people aren’t my real family. I’ve found my biological father and returned to my real home...”

Xiao Lu smiled as she recounted what happened over the past two years to Yin Peiran: ”My home is quite lively, my siblings are also great. One day I’ll introduce them to you.”

”Tomorrow then, I have time tomorrow.”

Yin Peiran took advantage of the suggestion: ”Do you have time? Maybe ask your parents if I can visit them.”

Xiao Lu didn’t think much: ”Sure, I’ll ask you. My parents shouldn’t be too busy right now. By the way, my sister has something to discuss with you, you can have a good chat with her tomorrow.”

”That’s settled then.”

Yin Peiran reached out to take the cup from Xiao Lu, almost touching her hand: ”I’ll pour you some more water.”

”No need for that.” Xiao Lu quickly waved: ”I’m not thirsty. By the way, have you eaten yet?”

”Not yet.” Yin Peiran shook his head with a smile: ”Have you eaten? If not, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

”I’ve already eaten.” Xiao Lu stood up: ”I ate with my boyfriend. I won’t disturb you anymore, you should hurry and get something to eat.”

”Alright.” Yin Peiran picked up Xiao Lu’s bag to see her off, and as they reached the door, Xiao Lu turned back to take her bag, only to see Yin Peiran’s face pale, clutching his stomach, sweat pouring from his forehead.

”What’s wrong with you?”

Xiao Lu was startled and quickly disregarded the bag, supporting Yin Peiran: ”What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

She half-carried, half-supported Yin Peiran to the sofa: ”Sit down first, do you have medicine? Should I get some for you?”

”No need.” Yin Peiran grabbed Xiao Lu: ”It’s nothing serious, just a stomachache, you know it’s an old problem of mine.”

Xiao Lu said angrily: ”Are you not eating properly again? Why don’t you take care of your own health...”

Though she complained, she instinctively opened the fridge to see what was inside.

Seeing a small handful of vegetables, two tomatoes, and a few eggs in the fridge, Xiao Lu went to the kitchen to check, finding no noodles, only a small bag of flour.

She turned to Yin Peiran: ”Look at you, forget it, I’ll make something for you.”

She said as she warmed some water: ”Drink this first, I’m quick at cooking.”

Indeed, Xiao Lu cooked quite fast; she chopped the vegetables and tomatoes, beat the eggs, then heated the pot with some oil, fried the tomato soup, added hot water, and mixed the flour into small clumps. Soon a big bowl of lump soup was ready, topped with a few green vegetables, Xiao Lu also fried an egg, placed it on the soup, sprinkled some green onions, and added some sesame oil.

She served the meal to Yin Peiran: ”Hurry and eat.”

Yin Peiran was genuinely hungry.

With a smile, he accepted the big bowl: ”Smells so good, I didn’t expect you to have such skills.”

Once Yin Peiran finished the big bowl of food, he looked up at Xiao Lu: ”With you around, every meal feels sweet and delicious. These years without seeing you, I haven’t eaten properly.”

Xiao Lu was taken aback.

Yin Peiran smiled, stood up to wash the dishes, then looked back at Xiao Lu: ”Though I don’t often cook, I’ve honed some good cooking skills over these years. Next time, I’ll treat you to a meal, let you try my cooking.”
