The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 513 - 504: Slapping the Golden Finger Rebirth Girl 32

Anjing Yu looked at Haoxuan Wei, a gentle smile on her face.

"I’ve been feeling a bit unwell these past few days, so I haven’t come to school. I’ve missed quite a few classes. Do you have time to help me catch up?"

Haoxuan Wei was just about to agree when he heard another voice.

This voice was very similar to Anjing Yu’s, making Haoxuan Wei stunned for a moment.

"For some reason, Yiming Ge’s attitude towards me has changed drastically. Now, I can only cling tightly to Haoxuan Wei. With him around, I won’t end up in a terrible situation."

"I’ve signed up for a math competition these past few days. We have training after school every day, so I’m afraid I won’t have time to help you review."

Haoxuan Wei didn’t understand what the voice he had just heard was, and he had some guesses, so he said this to probe Anjing Yu.

Anjing Yu’s face changed instantly.

She looked at Haoxuan Wei with a pitiful gaze.

But she was thinking: What’s going on? Why would Haoxuan Wei refuse me? Could he know something? Could it be that Ning took advantage of my absence these days to speak with Haoxuan Wei? After all, Ning helped Haoxuan Wei for over half a year, maybe they have some little secret between them.

Haoxuan Wei was shocked, seeing the change in Anjing Yu’s expression.

"Your sister is first in the city. She’s so good in her studies, you can ask her to help you review."

Haoxuan Wei mentioned Ning again.

Anjing Yu’s complexion grew worse: "I... She has some misunderstandings about me, and she won’t help me."

She thought to herself: Could Haoxuan Wei really know about the past, knowing that the person who left the food outside the door and brought him books was Ning?

System?

In her heart, Anjing Yu called out to the system: Hurry up and check if Haoxuan Wei has had any contact with Ning!

A surge of electric noises flashed through her mind, scaring her until her face turned pale.

Haoxuan Wei had to restrain himself from grabbing Anjing Yu and demanding to know what had happened in the past.

However, he no longer wanted to face Anjing Yu.

"Class is about to start; I’m going back to the classroom."

Haoxuan Wei dropped these words and left.

The sudden change with the system scared Anjing Yu out of her wits, she could no longer focus on scheming and hastily returned to the classroom as well.

Haoxuan Wei was particularly unsettled.

At this moment, he thought of a lot.

He had always believed that the little girl who helped him back then was Anjing Yu.

But now, thinking about it, it seemed unlikely that the girl was Anjing Yu.

Many details he had almost forgotten were now coming back to him.

He remembered that on the days when food was left outside his door, he had finished eating and went downstairs to look for something, and overheard a few neighbors talking about how the eldest Miss Yu had gone back to her hometown.

Another time he had just eaten and went downstairs, he ran into the eldest Miss Yu just as she returned.

Thinking about it, Anjing Yu wouldn’t have had the time to bring him food those times, but he clearly ate the meals, which meant someone else had brought the food.

He had always overlooked these things, but now he began to take them seriously.

Moreover, Anjing Yu wasn’t a very kind person.

How could she have helped him when she was little?

Back then, he was close to starvation, skinny like a bean sprout, not at all charming – how could Anjing Yu have helped him?

Thinking it over, only the kind-hearted Ning would have lent him a hand.

After all, Ning had already started doing good deeds at that time. She would help even unrelated people, let alone him who lived right across from the Yu home.

Additionally, Haoxuan Wei also thought of those notes.

The words on those notes also seemed more like something a girl with Ning’s character would write.

As for Anjing Yu, the more he thought, the more it didn’t seem to fit.

Haoxuan Wei thought of many things at once, and when he looked at Ning again, his eyes were filled with deep guilt and a touch of tenderness.

It turns out that Anning was the one who had helped him, the girl he had always cherished.

No wonder he always felt uncomfortable speaking with Yu Anjing, somewhat awkward.

He kept thinking she was the girl he had been yearning for over the years, and thought he should tolerate any awkwardness.

But now, thinking back, he realized how foolish he had been.

He had sensed something was wrong long ago but never delved deeper, and the result was...

It turned out he had caused his true benefactor so much distress.

Thinking about how cold he had been to Anning, how he had hurt her, Wei Haoxuan wanted to slap himself hard.

That was Anning, such a nice girl, how could he bear to hurt her?

Another class passed, and during the break, Wei Haoxuan found Anning.

He stood beside Anning’s desk, looking down at her, his eyes brimming with tenderness: "Yu... Miss Anning, I was wrong about what happened before, I apologize, I’m sorry."

Anning looked up at Wei Haoxuan: "I heard you."

"I..."

Wei Haoxuan, facing Anning’s indifferent expression, was truly filled with regret: "I want to talk to you for a moment."

Anning waved her hand: "No need, I accept your apology, and I won’t hold a grudge against you, but we should just be strangers from now on, let’s avoid private contact."

After she spoke, she smiled at Song Zhenzhen: "Bring your test paper over, I’ll check it for you, and you know the consequences if you did it wrong."

Song Zhenzhen, scared, her hands trembling a bit: "Anning, kind Anning, can we not have the punishment?"

"Hmm?"

Anning raised an eyebrow.

Song Zhenzhen quickly said: "Just look at it, if it’s wrong, I’ll correct it, wouldn’t that be okay?"

Wei Haoxuan felt utterly humiliated.

But he couldn’t bring himself to blame Anning at all.

He clenched his fist, walking heavily back to his own seat.

Looking up at the classroom ceiling, he wiped the moisture from his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was Wei Haoxuan full of a sense of solitude.

Wei Haoxuan had never hated himself as much as he did today.

Before he had that dream, he had already felt that Anning had a fondness for him, and deep down... he actually liked Anning too.

Such a wonderful girl, with a smile as gentle as the sun, who wouldn’t like her?

But he knew his current task was to study; he didn’t want to involve Anning, so he buried his feelings deep inside his heart, not even daring to touch them.

He didn’t dare talk to Anning, didn’t dare to get even a bit closer with Anning, for fear that his emotions would become uncontrollable.

He had thought that once it was time for college entrance exams, he and Anning would go to the same university. He would gradually get to know her in college, and one day, he would tell Anning his feelings.

But then, he had that damn dream.

That damn dream.

Which made him believe that the person who had helped him was Yu Anjing, which led him to misunderstand Anning. Even though he thought Anning was duplicitous, he still liked her.

He hated and was furious with himself for that.

To forget Anning and not dwell on her too much, Wei Haoxuan repeatedly targeted Anning, pushing her further away time after time.

He remembered the pained look in Anning’s eyes when he refused to help her with a problem; it felt like his heart was being sliced with a knife.

How could he have been so foolish?

If he hadn’t believed in that dream and had let Anning get closer in her own way, he might have grown close to Anning slowly, and perhaps his lofty hopes might have become a reality.

But because of that absurd dream, he had pushed his happiness away himself, and now it was impossible to retrieve.

Wei Haoxuan felt his heart getting heavier, chilling as if in a deep icy abyss.

Sitting there, he felt an unbearable pain all over his body, as if each breath was being stabbed with a knife.

He couldn’t stay there any longer.
