Rebirth of the Little Actor – 59
59 – This little fool was still planning to run away from home!
What do you mean, he can’t be given away to someone else?
Lu Tian Shen thought with dissatisfaction, thinking that the little fool was being coquettish and saying this on purpose.
He reached out and pressed down on the curly hair’s little head, making the teenager stick closer to him.
“What a stupid thing to say, no one can take me away from you.”
Through the chest cavity, An Xing heard the sound like it was close to his ears, with indulgence, a little fuzzy, but also seems to have been transmitted to the bottom of his heart.
“You’re the only one who deserves to be treated so well.”
What to do when the little fool is coquettish? Well, spoil him, of course.
“Oh no, I’m not that good!”
The teenager instantly raised his little curly hair and waved his hand, his round face a little shy, but also proud.
Lu Tian Shen: ……
Lu Tian Shen always felt that the teenager’s reaction is not quite right, but can not say where it is wrong. A pair of narrow black eyes stared for half a day, but did not see where the problem was.
He wanted to look into it again, but the red light had already turned green, so he could only continue to drive and send An Xing back to school first.
“Thank you, Brother Shen, I’m leaving now.”
At the entrance of the school, An Xing planned to walk back to the dormitory through the entrance because it was already past the visiting time and cars from outside could not enter the school. As he unbuckled his seatbelt, he dutifully thanked the person.
When he opened the car door to go down, he was suddenly grabbed by a man’s wrist.
“Xingxing, you can try to rely on me a little more.”
“……”
An Xing paused, lifted his eyes to look at the man, his light-colored eyes were wet.
“Uncle An and Aunt Shen are not your real parents, you don’t want Ning Rong to think too much about it, and you don’t want to squander their feelings for you, so you want to be independent. But that doesn’t mean you have to bear everything on your own.”
“But I’ll always be there for you. Try to rely on me more.”
The man who coldly forced Sun Cheng to drink and wash his mouth in the bar and the man who looks at him softly under the warm yellow light are the same person.
Although there was no smile on his face, the light in his eyes was so soft that it was unbelievable.
“After all, I’m the best for you, aren’t I?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
An Xing was instantly mesmerized by the beauty of his Shen brother, and nodded his head.
After watching the teenager show his student ID and walk through the school gate, the smile in Lu Tian Shen’s eyes slowly faded. He did not start the car immediately, but sat in the darkness for a while before returning from his contemplation.
The man unlocked his cell phone and made a call, then started the car and drove into the darkness.
“Secretary Tang, I need you to work overtime tonight to collect some information for me. It’s worth overtime pay.”
“The Sun family is in the real estate business, gathering some information about their family.”
“Especially about Sun Cheng, the only son of the Sun family.”
On the other hand, An Xing did not know what Lu Tian Shen was planning to do secretly. On his way back to the dormitory, he received a video call from An Zhaoming and Shen Ying, and quickly picked it up.
“Xingxing! Has our Xingxing been wronged again today?”
As soon as the video was connected, the woman’s beautiful face with worry appeared at the other end of the camera. Immediately followed by An Zhaoming, who was holding a tablet next to her.
“Rong Rong told us everything. Don’t be angry, that son of a bitch just doesn’t deserve to be cleaned up! Wait for dad to tell his father that he will kick that brat’s ass!”
The middle-aged man’s face was angry, but not at An Xing. He knew about those malicious and dirty speculations, but he did not think that it was An Xing’s fault or An Xing’s shame, he was angry because Sun Cheng’s malicious speculations had offended An Xing’s dignity.
An Xing’s heart warmed up, and he went over to the screen to talk to his mom and dad.
“I’m fine, I don’t feel bad, don’t worry, mom and dad”.
Being so soft and tender, who can remain angry? Anyway, An Zhaoming’s rising anger is slightly reduced. His face slightly eased, and almost also minced over to the screen across the ……
Shen Ying slapped her husband and glared at him. It is enough to have a foolish cub in the family, how come you are also infected with foolishness!
An Zhaoming lightly coughed, and when An Xing finished sticking and re-looked at the screen, he resumed his serious look.
“Anyway, if Sun Cheng talks to you like that again, you tell Dad! If he sends you a message that harasses you, screenshot it for me and I’ll go find old Sun! What kind of a son is he? He’s so reckless!”
At this point, An Zhaoming was a bit annoyed.
Even if Xingxing is not his real son, he has raised him as his own son for so many years. Now Xingxing stays at home, firstly because the Ning family couple has passed away, and secondly because they already have plans for Xingxing.
But when the boy from the Sun family said it, it seemed like Xingxing stayed in the An family and refused to leave. He was plotting the prosperity of their family and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cling to him. If you say that the cub he raised carefully is someone with such scheming intentions, is he criticizing Xingxing?
It was him! It’s their family! It’s the An family that’s being criticized!
The Sun family is trying to pick on the An family!
An Zhaoming soared to crazy highs, his belly full of anger. He didn’t say anything to upset the cub, but only urged An Xing not to swallow his anger. An Xing probably also understood something, and obediently responded to his father’s request.
Hanging up the video call, An Zhaoming and Shen Ying looked at each other, still a little worried.
“Tell me, will Xingxing be told by that boy from the Sun family that he won’t come back?”
Shen Ying grabbed her husband’s hand, feeling a little worried.
An Zhaoming hesitated for a moment: “Probably… no?”
Sun Cheng’s words were obviously disgusting. It would be silly if their cub became alienated from them because of such disgusting words.
Shen Ying glared at the man: “Don’t you know our kids… stupid!”
Who knows who raises the cubs? If you talk about our own cub, he is broad-minded at best, but stupid at worst!
Such a silly boy, but also somewhat strangely persistent. It’s hard to say what An Xing will do if his dignity is offended this time!
An Zhaoming:……
An Zhaoming rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
“It’s okay. Rongrong’s identity will be announced at the end of this month. When the two children come back over the weekend, we should have a good talk with them and discuss our future plans.”
Since Ning Rong is their biological son, they must recognize him, reveal his identity, and change his household registration. Fortunately, when Ning Rong came of age, the Ning family made a separate household registration book for him, and he could just move into the An family household registration book. The operation was very simple.
But An Xing’s account, An Zhaoming and Shen Ying does not want him to move out, they intend to take An Xing as a formally adopted son.
This child, they raised him since he was a baby, pouring all the love of a pair of parents over the past twenty years. Even if they now know that he is not their son, but the feelings have already been invested, how can one transfer him just by saying so?
They would take up parental responsibility for Ning Rong and try to give him the same love and care, but it was impossible for them to give up An Xing.
And after these days of observation, and implicit attempts at communication, An Zhaoming and Shen Ying found that Ning Rong also approves of this attitude of theirs.
The attitude of the An family’s second house need not be taken into account, the Shen family heard Shen Ying’s decision, and saw that Ning Rong did not have any opinions, and even more so, they would not have any opinions.
So now, only An Xing in the whole family does not know.
Shen Ying exhaled a breath and slowly nodded her head.
“It can only be so.”
She thought for a moment and took out her cell phone to call Lu Tian Shen.
“When the time comes, that Tian Shen kid will still have to be there, as well as the Xiao family and the Chen family’s two children.”
It was indeed important for them to take a stand as elders, but among the younger generation, An Xing had to have the support of Ning Rong and the others, so that people like Sun Cheng would not appear again in the future. Especially with the presence of Lu Tian Shen, An Xing will not be belittled in the early days.
An Xing’s soft nature is inherent, and it is only when someone protects him that he won’t be bullied. After that, it’s up to the child to work hard on his own.
The call was answered by the young man on the other end of the line, and Shen Ying explained her thoughts to Lu Tian Shen.
The young man on the other end of the phone quickly replied, “Don’t worry, I’m definitely going to show up on Xingxing’s important day.” He paused, and his tone was clear.
He paused, his voice was still calm and said:
“If you feel that announcing Xingxing as the adopted son of the An family does not carry enough weight, you can announce the news of our engagement along with it.”
Shen Ying: ……
Shen Ying is not sure why this child’s brain is not working properly.
Does the little fool look like he’s enlightened? You even want to announce the engagement together, you want to scare the little fool to run away on the spot, just say it!
The woman’s voice was soft as she said,
“That’s not good. An engagement is a very meaningful thing, how can you announce it together as a casual thing? If we announce too many things at once, it will distract everyone’s attention.”
“Why don’t we do it this way, we’ll first announce the adoption this time, and then when it’s Xingxing’s birthday, you’ll announce the engagement later, what do you think, Tian Shen?”
Lu Tian Shen thought for a while, and felt that it also makes sense, and agreed.
Shen Ying hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.
Xingxing ah, mom can only help you to this point, I hope you will realize it earlier.

In a flash, it was Friday.
In the past two years of college life, most of the weekends, An Xing would go home. For one thing, it’s convenient to have Uncle Li drive him around, and there’s a school bus. Secondly, the dormitory is definitely not as comfortable as home, and he loves to play with handicrafts, so he keeps all the materials at home.
An Zhaoming and Shen Ying have no opinion on this, and do not feel that their own cub is sticky. Now that Ning Rong recognizes that he’s back, they’re even more hopeful that both kids will come back on the weekends.
But this Friday, the situation is different.
After hearing Sun Cheng’s words, An Zhaoming and Shen Ying were angry at first, but gradually became worried. As Shen Ying said, An Xing’s mind is delicate, and a bit silly. What if he is provoked by Sun Cheng and does not want to go home?
The two were very anxious, but did not dare to say openly. They could only pretend to be casual in the afternoon and asked in the crowd of loving family members:
“When is Xingxing coming home? Do you need old Li to pick you up?
“No, I’m going out to play with my roommates, and I’ll take a taxi back afterward!”
An family members are still very trusting of Zhou Bin and Chen Fang’s character, listening to An Xing saying that he was going to play with these two people, they agreed at ease.
Then he waited until eight o’clock in the evening. Ning Rong came back from S University and had not yet waited for his cub.
“Did he really say he would come back?”
Ning Rong couldn’t sit still and asked his parents on the sofa.
As a person involved, Ning Rong knew how vicious Sun Cheng’s words were that day. He originally thought that the little fool had been coaxed, but now looking at ……
“The last time he went to me, he said that since the two of us had recognized each other, we should each go back to our own homes ……”.
An Zhaoming was also a bit tense, calling An Xing.
“…… Xingxing didn’t answer.”
The family looked at each other, all feeling bad.
This little fool’s previous performance was probably just to calm them down, but in fact, he was still planning to run away from home, right?
