Rebirth of the Little Actor – Chapter 16
16 – Now that he’s okay, it’s really great.
The pretty teenager was holding three cones in his hands, staring at the person in front of him with round almond eyes.
The tall boy in the doll suit bowed his head slightly, casting a shadow which covered the teenager, making him even more delicate.
The stall owner looked at the beautiful boy, then at the large doll, and being someone who knew what the doll boy looked like, his eyes glistened.
The Ning family husband and wife are both teachers, and their family’s situation can only be regarded as ordinary. Ever since Ning Rong got admitted to the university, he would take short-term jobs during vacations, earning a little pocket money to lighten the load for his family. Now that his parents have passed away and the rest of the Ning family is fighting him for his inheritance, Ning Rong still hasn’t stopped working after dealing with the funeral.
Working in a doll’s suit in the summer, his hourly wage is a bit higher than other odd jobs. Ning Rong had been in good health since he was a child, so he had no problem working half a day in a doll’s suit. He didn’t expect to meet the young master who helped him last time, nor did he expect the young master to talk to him.
What’s more, he didn’t expect that this young master, who seemingly recognized his voice, would be able to understand his voice.
Ning Rong looked at the tall, handsome man and the beautiful, gorgeous woman over there through the doll suit, and passed the fan in his hand over to remind him.
“Your cone is about to melt.”
Only then did An Xing come back to her senses, dully accepting the small fan, glancing at the big doll again, turning around and running towards An’s father and mother, his heart in turmoil.
Why is Ning Rong here, is it coincidental, or …… does he already know about something and is here?
Passing the cones to An Zhaoming and Shen Ying, An Xing didn’t squeeze to get into the parasol, and followed the two people step by step eating the cones, somewhat absentminded.
This kind of panicky feeling is like knowing that you didn’t do well in the exam, and you were going to confess, but because your mom said you were going out to play, you decided to postpone it. Who knew that while having fun at the park, hi ya! You run into the teacher!
Oooooo did the teacher know I didn’t confess and came over to check up on me!
The teenager is aggrieved and his little curly hair collapsed, and he thought of a whole lot of nonsense before he slowly came back to his senses. No, no one knew they were coming to the park today. Even if Ning Rong knew the truth, it wouldn’t be better to just come straight to the door, so why bother wearing a doll’s costume to run to a chance encounter.
But it was just a coincidence, he was the one who thought too much.
An Xing ate the cone and didn’t notice An Zhaoming stopping in his tracks and crashed headfirst into the man’s back.
“Still walking for what, you want to jump into the lake and paint?”
An Zhaoming looked disgustedly at his son, who could walk away, and took Shen Ying’s bag off his back.
This is an ornamental pavilion that extends from the shore to the lake, and the lake is in full bloom with a large number of lotus flowers, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Because they came early, the park was less crowded, and there was no one inside the gazebo at all, so An Xing and Shen Ying could pick the most suitable spot to draw.
An Xing puffed out his cheeks, and also took his small bag down, pulling out tools towards the outside.
Forget it, if it happens, then it will be safe, who cares why Ning Rong appeared, let s play well first.
Anyway, …… tonight he will definitely confess.
An Xing shook his head. He and Shen Ying each pulled out a rack and began to assemble, and then took out the wooden frame that had masked the canvas, and finally placed the brushes and watercolors separately, each contemplating and composing a picture.
While his wife and son were immersed in art, they simply ignored the outside world, An Zhaoming put away their bags and cell phones and placed them within arm’s reach, and also found a position where they would not be exposed to the sun to take a nap.
According to past experience, they had to draw for at least two hours, and it was close to lunch time, so it would be good to eat after drawing.
Time passed, the sun gradually became hot, the people in the gazebo also gradually became more and more. An Xing and Shen Ying did not have any distractions, and the people who entered the gazebo were also very courteous, curiously probing a few glances at the mother and son’s paintings, and then took a few pictures, but did not come forward to disturb them, and left when they had had enough of a break.
The tourists had already changed a few rounds before An Xing and Shen Ying finally finished their paintings. The two probed to look at each other’s paintings, and after admiring them, they began to brag to each other.
“Mom’s colors are so beautiful! The lotus flower is so beautiful in the sunlight that it looks like it’s glowing!”
“The spatial composition of Xingxing has also improved a lot, and this red carp has a very eye-catching effect!”
“Oops, mom’s drawing is still good!”
“Our Xingxing is also great!”
An Zhaoming hugged the two people’s bags and waited for the two to have enough commercial blowing each other up before speaking:
“Are you hungry? Let’s go eat?”
Although they had been sitting still, drawing was also very consuming, and An Xing and Shen Ying readily agreed. The family packed up their things and left the gazebo, following the map towards the dining area.
The three of them first went to the restroom individually to solve their bodily matters and wash their hands, and An Xing came out of the restroom and looked up to casually look around, just in time to meet eyes with Ning Rong, who had taken off his headgear in the distance for air.
This time, Ning Rong was next to a noodle stall.
An Xing: ……
This could be fate, An Xing thought, and slowly walked over and stood in front of Ning Rong.
The boy was tall, and the marks left behind from the last time he was chased and beaten by the punks had faded to the point where they were barely noticeable, his eyes dropped as he looked at the teenager.
“Do you still remember me? Last …… time,” An Xing swallowed and asked.
“I remember you.” The boy paused and introduced himself again, “My name is Ning Rong.”
An Xing froze, and hurriedly exchanged names as well, “My name is An Xing, Xing as in Star.”
“Last time you said that those people in your family, and those punks …… how are you now ah?”
Ning Rong didn’t expect that this young master genuinely not only remembered him, but also remembered what he had encountered, and was inexplicably in a somewhat better mood. He slightly picked the corner of his mouth and faintly said:
“I haven’t lived there recently, they couldn’t find me.”
His home is in the city center. There is an old community there that was built more than 20 years ago. Because land prices have been rising year after year, it has only been ready to be demolished in recent years, and there will be a large amount of demolition money. His uncle and aunt took a fancy to his old house and wanted the demolition money.
The old house used to belong to his grandfather and was left to his father when he passed away. Who knew that fate had it in for him that he was not a child of the Ning family? When his uncle and aunt found out about this, they instantly changed their faces, saying that he didn’t deserve to inherit the old house. Not only did they come to the house every day to argue, but they even found punks to teach him a lesson.
But it is a group of idle punks, even if you call the police, they will be released after a few days of detention, and Ning Rong can not pull down his class to deal with them. He simply locked his house, changed his cell phone card, and lived in his friend’s house directly.
An Xing was relieved. In addition to worrying about An Hao suddenly coming to his door to release the truth these days, the other thing he was worried about was Ning Rong’s situation. Ever since the last time he saw Ning Rong being chased and beaten by a gangster, he suspected that the Ning Rong of his past life might have encountered worse things, and then became so cold and paranoid when the truth came out.
Now that he was fine, it was really great.
The teenager’s eyes and expression couldn’t hide his heart, and Ning Rong could tell at a glance that the teenager was happy for him. Although he didn’t know why, being cared about …… Ning Rong’s mood was even better.
“An Xing! Let’s go and eat!”
An Zhaoming saw his son talking to someone from afar and called out, beckoning. His gaze met the boy in the doll suit in the distance and gave a slight lurch, inexplicably feeling somewhat familiar. Before he could explore, he saw An Xing wave goodbye to the man and hurriedly ran over.
“Who is that ah Xingxing, you know?”
Shen Ying asked curiously. That boy was handsome and tall, and when he spoke to his son, the expression on his face was very patient, looking …… oddly familiar.
“It is what I told you guys last time, being robbed by his family of his parents’ inheritance that boy ah!” An Xing said seriously, “His name is Ning Rong.”
An Xing intended to let the two people pity a little on Ning Rong, so that before recognizing relatives there can be a bit of emotional foundation. Who knew that when the two heard this, they actually withdrew their gaze at once.
“Why are you getting involved in other people’s family matters again? Last time you got involved, you were almost in danger!”
An Zhaoming had a serious and dissatisfied face.
“Xingxing ah, don’t look at other people’s boys’ good looks and think that they’re good people, you have to stay vigilant!”
Shen Ying was worried.
“……”
An Xing was dumbfounded.
No, that’s your own son ah! You guys are favoring me like this, in the future it’s likely that the household will be restless ah!
