Rebirth of the Little Actor – Chapter 7
The boy who had just lost his adoptive parents looked at An Xing and said softly.
An Xing looked at the boys rushing out from the alley and was simply stunned.
Why was Ning Rong beaten up! His face was swollen!
The place where they were gathering was in the old city, and most of the neighborhoods here were built more than twenty years ago, and only in recent years had they begun to be demolished and remodeled one after another. As a result, there are some twisting and winding alleys that don’t have surveillance, and at night it’s pitch black.
An Xing was afraid of the dark and also afraid of encountering danger, and his curiosity was not so heavy that he never walked towards this kind of place without surveillance. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had just felt something in his heart and glanced in this direction, he wouldn’t have been able to see Ning Rong’s current sorry state.
“Damn it, that kid ran away!”
“Catch up to him! Still dare to fight back?!”
“He just cracked Hai’s head, don’t let him get away! Show him some color!”
An Xing stood at the entrance of the alley and heard the angry curses of those people, not to mention Ning Rong. The boy gave a start and accelerated his speed towards the outside of the alley, but it seemed that he had just fallen and injured himself, running with a limp.
The sound of shouting and cursing is getting closer and closer, mixed with the more urgent and violent heartbeat, An Xing suddenly rushed in, pulled the boy who was shocked for a moment, grabbed his hand, and rushed towards the outside.
It was not easy to park in the old city, Old Li stayed in the nearby parking lot and received An Xing’s message before driving towards the place where they had gathered for dinner. After driving to the neighborhood, he received another call from An Xing.
“‘Xingxing ah, I will be right there ……”
“Uncle Li!” The teenager’s panicked voice mixed with gasps rang out, “Help! Someone is trying to beat me up!”
Uncle Li: ?
An Xing was initially pulling Ning Rong towards the outside, then it became Ning Rong pulling An Xing. Probably because Ning Rong’s resistance had angered the other party, those people caught up fast.
The last time An Xing ran with all his might, he was running five kilometers at the end of his freshman year’s physical education class, and he started to gasp after only a few minutes of running, as he usually likes to be quiet and not move. At that time, he had already entered the line of sight of the punks, and could not just get away.
Being pulled by Ning Rong into one alley after another, An Xing was about to cry from his own stupidity. He always felt that if he hadn’t rushed over there in his heat of the moment, Ning Rong would have gotten rid of those punks by himself.
It was at this time that An Xing received a call from Uncle Li and rushed for help. He didn’t say two sentences, Ning Rong had already turned back to take the phone from him.
“Which way did you come from?”
An Xing was defenseless against Ning Rong, and when he was robbed of his cell phone, he foolishly watched Ning Rong communicate with Uncle Li, and then was pulled around a few corners in a vague manner, and then when he rushed out of the alley, he saw his family’s car parked at the entrance of the alley with a sharp brake. And at this time, those gangsters have been closely behind them.
Ning Rong pulled An Xing quickly rushed to the car in front near bu, after pulling open the door a hand will An Xing first pushed into the back seat, he also squeezed into the back seat and closed the door in one fell swoop, the old Li and then stepped on the gas pedal, and finally broke away from those gangsters.
“Xing Xing are you okay?”
An Xing lay on the seat gasping for air and squirmed forward a few times. Ning Rong rushed in and pressed him so hard that he almost choked.
“No, it’s fine …… phew …… luckily Uncle Li you rushed over fast, it was too close.”
Uncle Li glanced in the rearview mirror at the other boy who had pulled his own young master with him into danger. That boy was only slightly gasping for air, and quickly calmed down. His face and the corners of his mouth carried purple bruises, and he seemed to notice his gaze and looked over abruptly.
Uncle Li’s heart jumped slightly, and felt an inexplicable familiarity with this gaze. Before he could figure out where this sense of familiarity came from, he saw that the boy lowered his head and looked at his own young master.
“Are you alright? Thank you just now.”
An Xing froze, turning back with a few moments of incredulity, and what he saw was Ning Rong’s gaze that was apologetic with a calmness.
“I’m sorry for getting you involved, but thank you for saving me.”
An Xing: ……
Gosh, Ning Rong didn’t speak to him in a shady manner and even said thank you to him la!
An Xing sat up straight and was simply a bit flattered.
After the matter of the real and fake young master came out in his previous life, he and Ning Rong had actually not seen each other many times, and each time there was either Father An and Mother An or An Hao’s family present, so there was almost no individual communication. He was guilty of trying to talk to Ning Rong, but when the WeChat friend requests he sent over were ignored and his attempts at chatting were met with yin and yang, he gave up.
The last time he tried to go to Ning Rong to talk in person, he got into a car accident.
“Nothing ah ……” An Xing slowly sat up straight and moved uncomfortably, “I’m having a momentary brain fever. If there is no me, you should be able to run away by yourself ah, but you also had to be dragged behind while running ……”
The young boy was wearing a white printed short sleeve, the print was an unintelligible oil painting, and underneath was a loose-fitting pair of shorts, revealing his white, straight legs, and his feet were on a pair of sneakers. Ning Rong knew this brand and knew that it was a limited edition. Not only was it not sold in China, it was impossible to even find fakes.
As for the car they got into, even if Ning Rong didn’t know much about luxury car brands, he knew that the person who had a driver to pick him up at night must be a young master from a well-off family.
Thinking about this little young master who just rushed over to pull him, and obviously shivering with fear himself, but still trying hard to pull him to escape……Ning Rong shook his head and whispered:
“If it wasn’t for this car that came to pick you up, I wouldn’t have been able to run away unharmed, so thank you anyway.”
No one likes stupid people who run across the street, who cause trouble for themselves, and still think they’re doing something good. But Ning Rong felt that just now, if it wasn’t for this little young master rushing over to pull him, but then being scared out of his shit and shivering, he might …… not have been able to bring himself to run away.
He would turn around and face those punks, and fight with them to vent the anger in his heart, it doesn’t matter if he is beaten to the point of being bruised all over his body.
Ning Rong lowered his eyes and slowly clenched his hand at his side.
An Xing suddenly felt in a certain moment that the Ning Rong in front of him became exactly the same as when they met in their last life, cold-hearted and ruthless, as if he had closed his heart, and no one could ever enter his eyes again.
It was completely different from the boy who had just apologized to him with calmness.
Hesitating for a split second, An Xing fished out a napkin from the small drawer and handed it over.
“What kind of people are those? Do we need to call the police?”
Ning Rong came back to his senses, originally wanting to find an excuse to muddle through, but seeing the teenager’s sincere and worried eyes, the words rolled around in his mouth, and in the end, he actually said it truthfully.
“It’s some idle punks. My parents passed away, and there are some disputes between me and the rest of the family regarding the division of the inheritance.”
An Xing stayed for a while before reacting with a look of disbelief.
“The rest of your family is fighting with you over the family estate, and found punks to threaten you?!”
Ning Rong did not speak.
How could An Xing not have thought that Ning Rong had even encountered such a thing?
The day the Real and Fake Young Masters were exposed was a day of military chaos, and later on, An Xing did not deliberately inquire about Ning Rong’s affairs. He did know that Ning Rong had been questioned by the rest of the Ning family about the inheritance of their estate after the death of the Ning family couple, and he also knew that later on, Ning Rong was not able to compete with those Ning family members.
But how could he not have expected that the Ning family had used this method to threaten Ning Rong in order to fight for the inheritance?
“Why are they so bad!” An Xing instantly puffed up his face.
Even if Ning Rong wasn’t a child of the Ning family, he was at least raised by them since he was a child, and the Ning family couple had just passed away, so how could those Ning family members do this to Ning Rong!
Ning Rong didn’t know why, he would feel a desire to confide in this strange young master, but looking at the teenager’s puffed up face, his mood inexplicably calmed down a bit, and he even comforted the teenager.
“It’s fine, they don’t dare to do anything.”
An Xing was furious: “They all hit you! Uncle Li let’s go to the police station! I can come and testify even if there is no surveillance!”
Uncle Li glanced at his young master from the rearview mirror, and before he could say anything, Ning Rong refused.
“No need.”
An Xing froze, and was a bit embarrassed.
It was him who had been presumptuous. He thought he knew Ning Rong and could provide him with assistance, but Ning Rong didn’t know him at all ……
“That would take a long time to file, it’s late today.”
The boy said.
“Don’t worry, I can fix it. You should go home soon, your family will be worried.”
In the dimly lit backseat, the boy who had just lost his adoptive parents looked at An Xing and whispered.

When An Xing returned home, An Zhaoming and Shen Ying were in the living room. The tall man with a smile bowed his head and said something, causing the beautiful woman’s smile to blossom, and she gave her husband a sideways nudge before realizing that her son had returned.
“Xingxing is back? Did you have fun with your friends?”
An Xing looked at the large villa and the gentle parents, and then thought about the fact that he had just sent Ning Rong back to the old shabby neighborhood where he now lived, as well as the injuries on the boy’s face and the lone wolf’s eyes, and suddenly his nose turned sour.
He walked over slowly and squeezed in between the two, holding one in each hand and forcing them to stick together.
“Happy ooh.”
The teenager said sullenly.
Father and Mother Ann: ……
“What’s wrong?” An Zhaoming was amused, “Someone bullied you?”
Can Dad understand when you say fate is bullying me.
An Xing shook his head, and his guilt towards Ning Rong deepened.
In his last life, after learning of his parents’ deaths and then learning that they were not his real parents, what would Ning Rong feel?
How would he feel when faced with the indifference of his once loved ones.
An Xing felt that he understood everything Ning Rong was feeling right now, except for the first one.
“What did Xing Xing encounter? Looking very sad.”
The woman tenderly touched his forehead, and the man also looked over with concern. An Xing rubbed his mother’s palm and shook his head.
“You guys are so sweet.”
I love you guys beyond measure.
That’s why your son, shouldn’t have to live in that kind of a mess.
