Rebirth of Little Actor -51
51 – I believe that Xingxing will soon be enlightened.
Lu Tian Shen leaned over and patiently and carefully unbuckled An Xing’s seatbelt. When he raised his eyes, he was slightly stunned.
The teenager shrunk in the seat, his face slightly red, his eyes were closed, and they were rapidly moving under his eyelids.
“…… Xingxing? You fell asleep?”
Lu Tian Shen asked a little hesitantly. Not right, it seems to be the wrong kind of effort, this little fool fell asleep in a second?
“……”
An Xing slowly opened his eyes, looked at the man near him, and carefully considered the situation. Just now that kind of a little dizzy, breathless feeling, seems to have disappeared.
He blankly touched his chest, and waited for another moment, before putting his hand down and muttering:
“…Hey, I don’t get carsick?”
The sound was so soft that even though Lu Tianchen was very close, he could only vaguely hear the word “car sick”. He moved closer to An Xing, crossed his arm over the boy’s body, and opened the door on the other side. He unfastened his seat belt and said:
“Are you car sick? It’s okay. We’ve arrived. Get out of the car and take a walk…”
“Wait!”
An Xing subconsciously reached out and grabbed the man’s arm.
“Uh?” Lu Tian Shen was a little surprised and maintained the position of undoing the seatbelt, looking back at An Xing.
The teenager, who was still red-faced at the moment and was lying paralyzed on the seat, had already sat up straight and looked over with a glaring gaze. The two of them locked eyes, and the teenager opened his mouth and slowly said:
“…… I seem to have gotten better.”
Lu Tian Shen: ?
Confused by this little fool, Lu Tian Shen undid the seatbelt and reached out to touch the teenager’s forehead.
“Are you really better? Do you feel dizzy and nauseous now?”
His big hand touched his forehead indulgently, and then rubbed it from behind his ears like hair. An Xing narrowed his eyes comfortably.
“Yeah! I’m not dizzy anymore! I’m fine now!”
It must be because I had too much dinner, which made me feel a little dizzy during the walk in the underground garage. After all, the air was not circulating!
An Xing felt that his speculation was reasonable and logical. only……
He watched Lu Tianchen take back his hand, bit his fingertips and thought about it, feeling that his brother Shen’s being so close must have had some influence. After all, Brother Shen has a handsome face and is a very good person. He is so gentle to him… After getting close to someone, his blood will flow faster and his heart will beat wildly!
He slowly got out of the car and followed Lu Tian Shen into the elevator unsteadily. Seeing that there was no one in the elevator, An Xing approached Lu Tianchen and pretended to squeeze in beside the man accidentally.
“Brother Shen, are you still exercising at night?”
Lu Tianshen had long been accustomed to An Xing always speaking in a gentle manner. He put his arms around the boy and asked him to stand firm in the elevator, and then said:
“It’s a bit late. I’ll go for a run tonight.”
An Xing contemplated for a moment, feeling that he kinda liked Lu Tian Shen wrapping himself around him like this, and leaned over even more without mental barriers. Unfortunately, the elevator was quickly reaching the top floor.
This doesn’t work, being close to his Shen brother for a bit makes him breathless or something, how can he still be a good brother then. In the future, whenever he is free, it’s better to stick close to Brother Shen more often to strengthen his immunity.
An Xing happily made a decision.
Since that day, Lu Tian Shen realized that a certain little fool was getting more and more sticky. Not to mention going to and from work, at night at home, except when he was playing with the cat, the little fool rarely even entered the craft room and would always follow him. Even when he was working out, the little fool came over holding a drawing board and said he wanted to use him as a model and draw him.
Lu Tian Shen: ……
What could Lu Tian Shen do, he of course went along with An Xing.
As for An Xing’s recent clinginess, he also thinks it’s normal – there are only two last weeks left in the summer vacation, and at the end of this week, the little fool will be moving back. When school started, An Xing would be living in the school dormitory and would only be going home on weekends.
Lu Tian Shen sighed silently, and became more tolerant of the burning sight coming from beside him, and concentrated on his push-ups.
An Xing watched the man for a while, briefly tracing a few strokes on the canvas, and if not for not wanting to disturb the man’s workout, he simply wanted to make a shh shh sound.
His Shen brother’s body was fantastic too bla bla bla! This back muscle! This core strength!
When the man gets up, An Xing quickly puts the drawing board away and looks over blearily.
Lu Tian Shen: “…… I’m done with my workout, I’ll have a shower after stretching. You can touch my abs if you want to, and rest early afterward as well.”
After touching his abs for ten seconds, the teenager topped off his joyful little curls and went downstairs contentedly.
Just like that, by the end of the week, An Xing was sent back home by Lu Tian Shen with eight parts happiness, one part loss and one part pity.
The teenager who didn’t take much luggage when he came, carried two suitcases when he went back.
“Xingxing ah, what have you moved from Tian Shen’s house ah?”
In front of the An family villa, Shen Ying was full of tears and laughter, looking at her own cub pushing a 24-inch suitcase, followed by Lu Tian Shen, who also pushed a 32-inch one.
The teenager waved a paw, gloating.
“Nothing! It’s just a few pieces of clothes and shoes and craft supplies that Brother Shen bought for me, and a little something I made!”
Shen Ying: ……
The young man came closer and the woman slapped him angrily.
“Tian Shen you’re going to spoil Xingxing, where does he lack those things, he still needs you to buy them for him.”
Shen Ying herself didn’t even realize that the words she said were a bit sour, but Lu Tian Shen did. He stopped and turned to help An Xing carry the suitcase up the steps, then respectfully said to Shen Ying:
“With you and Uncle An here, Xingxing doesn’t lack anything. These are just what I want to buy for Xingxing.”
With one sentence he flattered Shen Cherry and An Zhaoming, and then made it clear that he had a strong determination to please An Xing, and was worthy of being the overlord who had been a leader in the business world!
Shen Ying hid the corner of her mouth and smiled, looking at Lu Tian Shen’s gaze with even more satisfaction.
An Xing didn’t pay attention to this point of secret knocking at all, and pushed the suitcase and happily entered the door.
“Dad! Ning Rong! I’m back!”
Ning Rong: Brother, nothing happened…I’m tired and don’t want to talk anymore.
An Zhaoming shook the pad in his hand, being very serious.
“After disturbing Tian Shen for so long, you finally know to come back?”
OMG! An Xing was stunned. Last time he came back, it was his father who privately praised him for knowing how to think of everyone and secretly stuffed him with small red envelopes!
The teenager turned around and came next to Shen Ying, muttering a complaint.
“Mom, dad said he doesn’t want me!”
Shen Ying didn’t care if this complaint had any elegance and logic, and lightly glanced at An Zhaoming.
“Really?”
An Zhaoming put down the pad in his hand and waved his hand benevolently towards the cub.
“Good boy, you finally came back? Dad and brother missed you!”
The cub’s little curly hair, smug!
An Zhaoming was speechless, and looked at Lu Tian Shen again, this time with real kindness.
“Tian Shen ah, today it’s better to have dinner over here before going back?”
The An family’s atmosphere was as good as it had been for more than ten years, and Lu Tian Shen had always enjoyed and envied it. Seeing An Zhaoming’s invitation, he wasn’t polite and simply agreed.
Ning Rong got up from the sofa and walked over to carry the box in An Xing’s hand, muttering.
“Why is it so heavy, put it all in your room?”
“Ahh!”
Seeing Ning Rong’s intention to help himself carry it upstairs, An Xing hastily reached for it.
“I can carry it …….”
“You can’t.” The boy was very cold.
Lu Tian Shen pulled the 32-inch suitcase over, and when he saw that An Xing had taken a hit, he reached out to touch the teenager’s head.
“Our Xingxing’s hands are those of an artist, not for this kind of heavy work.”
“……” Ning Rong looked back, a little tongue-tied, “Is this how you guys usually coax kids?”
The young man stood at the bottom of the steps, looking as tall as Ning Rong as well, even with an even higher aura. He stroked the teenager’s head again and faintly said:
“How could it be coaxing a child? What I said was all sincere.”
An Xing came over to stick to Lu Tian Shen, with a beautiful face.
“That’s it!”
“……”
Ning Rong breathlessly turned around and bitterly carried the suitcase back to his room for An Xing. He put down the suitcase and was about to leave when he was called by An Xing.
“Wait a minute ah Ning Rong, I’ll return mom’s picture book to you.”
An Xing went over and flattened the suitcase, opened it and fished out the two picture books wrapped in bags from the layers of clothing. He touched them a few times with some reluctance and was about to hand them over when he heard the boy slowly say:
“You keep it, that’s your mom too.”
An Xing’s eyes widened, “Really?”
Gu Lan’s two books of paintings, An Xing had flipped through them countless times over the past few weeks and still felt that he couldn’t get enough of them. All of the arts were connected, and looking at these paintings, it was as if he could touch his mother, whom he had not been able to meet, across time and space.
However, these albums were Gu Lan’s relics, and An Xing had thought only of occasionally borrowing them from Ning Rong.
He did not expect that Ning Rong would be willing to give them.
The boy looked at An Xing for a moment, sighed softly, and condescendingly stroked the little curly head.
“Like I said, mom would love you if she knew you existed.”
An Xing looked at the boy for a moment, narrowing his eyes happily. He was about to come over and snuggle when he suddenly heard clapping in his ears.
“Clap clap.”
An Xing and Ning Rong turned back together and looked at Lu Tian Shen who had made the noise. The man was sitting on a chair, his posture erect, his face expressionless as he slowly applauded.
“……”
The two fell silent, and Lu Tian Shen tilted his head sideways.
“There’s no need to regard me, you guys continue.”
“I’m just listening and feeling moved.”
Ning Rong’s eye twitched, feeling that this person could really ruin the atmosphere, the moving emotions were all stirred up ……
An Xing turned around and hugged the man’s thigh in one breath, touching the bowed man in excitement.
“Wow! That’s right! I’m so touched too!”
Ning Rong:……
The clown is actually me, Ning Rong realized, no wonder the other party is the boss.
After finishing chatting with Lu Tianchen, An Xing put the album on the table, raised his curly hair, looked at Ning Rong expectantly, and made a sound of wanting more.
“Is there anything else mom has that you can give me?”
“…… We’ll pack it together at night, and I’ll get it for you.”
An Xing was satisfied, having obtained her mother’s relics and completed today’s sticking to others part, and contentedly continued to organize his own box.
After dinner, Lu Tian Shen sat at An’s house for a while longer before bidding farewell to several people.
“Brother Shen, Brother Shen, I’ll hang out with you when school starts on the weekend. Let’s have dinner together.”
An Xing followed the man reluctantly, like a curly little tail.
Lu Tianchen was in a daze, remembering that many years ago, when he lived in Anjia, the little fool always followed behind him.
He smiled and reached out to rub An Xing’s head.
“Okay, I’ll stay with you on the weekend.”
Oops, his Brother Shen smiles so beautifully, An Xing thought in a daze, especially when he only smiled at him.
“Okay, don’t be reluctant to leave.”
Shen Ying came over and took a look at her own little fool, a meaningful smile at the corner of her mouth.
“Let’s go Tian Shen, I’ll walk you out.”
Lu Tian Shen agreed, waved his hand towards An Xing, and followed Shen Ying towards the door. Walking outside the door, Shen Ying stopped and slightly looked sideways at Lu Tian Shen.
“The marriage contract with Xingxing, does Tian Shen still intend to fulfill it?”
Lu Tian Shen looked at the woman with some surprise, after a moment’s pause, he said softly:
“This agreement, I never intended to break it.”
Shen Ying laughed: “Since you don’t intend to break the pact, why haven’t you brought up this matter again?”
The woman’s tone was gentle, it did not seem like she was questioning, and Lu Tian Shen was slightly relieved.
Shen Ying’s almond eyes narrowed slightly when she smiled, and although she and An Xing were not biological mother and son, they oddly resembled each other for a few moments. Looking at Shen Cherry’s smile, Lu Tian Shen suddenly had a few moments of desire to confide.
“I want to wait for Xingxing to get the hang of it.”
The young man revealed a somewhat helpless look.
“I don’t want him to be with me under the attitude of marriage.”
Shen Ying: ……
Good guy, you really don’t know how to cherish what you have got – the marriage is already decided, if you don’t implement it as soon as possible, why are you still struggling with the mentality of getting engaged? You can get married first and fall in love later!
Shen Ying hated that iron could not become steel, but she couldn’t blame this child who she also watched grow up. Considering the situation of the Lu family, she probably understood why Lu Tianchen was obsessed with “liking each other”.
She sighed and reminded tactfully:
“I can guess a little bit of what you are thinking. Are you thinking of getting engaged first and then taking a closer look at Xingxing?”
“But …… Xingxing isn’t open-minded, and for this engagement to be maintained, you have to let Xingxing know your feelings first. Otherwise, Xingxing might take the initiative to propose to break off the marriage contract.”
Ever since the little fool said last time that he hoped Lu Tianshen would be happy, Shen Ying felt that her little fool was a little late in enlightening.
Lu Tianchen thought of An Xing’s abnormal attitude in the past few days, and how he always came over to chat with him, with a faint smile in his eyes.
“Auntie doesn’t have to worry about me. I believe that Xingxing will soon be enlightened.”
The little fool came over to him every day to stick to him, is it possible that it’s just because of a good brother? It must be because of enlightenment.
Looking at the young man’s confident appearance, Shen Ying was a little surprised.
According to her understanding of the little fool, being enlightened should not be so fast. But looking at Tian Shen’s behavior, it was not like this. For a while, she was also a little hesitant about her judgment.
Could it be that the …… little fool has really gotten the hang of it?
If so, the engagement ceremony of the two children should also be put on the agenda.
