Rebirth of the Little Actor Chapter 8
“I’m going to take the paternity test to slap their faces!”
It was Sunday the next day, but An Xing tossed and turned last night, and was still a little tired when he came downstairs for breakfast.
An Zhaoming glanced at his son, whose head was almost buried in his bowl, then glanced again and spoke in disdain:
“What exactly did you run into last night?”
An Xing slightly perked up a bit, hesitated, but still told what happened last night.
“…… Those people are also too much, the property left by someone’s mom and dad, who will they give it to if not the child? Furthermore, they actually found punks to round up the people, it’s too inconsistent with the core socialist values!”
An Zhaoming only listened carefully to a few sentences at the very beginning, to make sure that his own son was not implicated in the accident, and only then he put down his heart, and could not help but to educate a little.
“Others’ family matters, you should not listen to what the boy said and believe it all, maybe there is something else going on? On the contrary, it was you who did not pay attention to safety last night ……”
“Not at all!”
An Xing couldn’t help but retort.
“You dare to join in when you see that man being beaten by gangsters. How come I didn’t know there was a martial arts master in our family! ”
Father An said with a serious face.
An Xing puffed up his face and looked unhappily at An Zhaoming who was not on the same page as himself.
“Our Xing Xing is kind, this is a good thing.”
Shen Ying smiled and stroked her son’s tiny curly hair.
“There’s nothing wrong with being courageous, and I’m sure that boy from yesterday, was grateful that you reached out to help.”
“But like your father said, next time you do something brave, you should also pay attention to safety.”
Seeing how good her mom was at talking, An Xing made a face at Father An.
“Got it!”
Hesitating for a split second, An Xing did not say more about Ning Rong. For one thing, the Ning family’s affairs were reported under privacy protection, so logically, he shouldn’t know what had happened to Ning Rong.
Secondly, An Xing also wanted to protect himself. If he kept mentioning Ning Rong in front of his parents, in the future when the truth came to light …… would they suspect that he had already known about carrying the wrong one?
An Xing believed his parents, but he also didn’t want to test humanity.
So last night, he didn’t even exchange contact information with Ning Rong. When Ning Rong is found later, he should not have to intervene.
The little teenager who was eating honestly and obediently, looking that An Zhaoming and Shen Ying’s hearts were softened. An Zhaoming also probed his hand and rubbed a handful of his son’s small curly hair, and said in a serious tone:
“To see people pay more attention, don’t be so gullible. There are a lot of bad people out there, just fooling little fools like you.”
An Xing: ……
An Xing was unconvinced and even felt that he was obviously very smart. Nonetheless, the An family couple both felt that he was a little fool, and were bitterly afraid that he would be cheated by the men outside.
After one breakfast, the little curly hair on top of An Xing’s head collapsed.
An Zhaoming is not a workaholic, and does not have the habit of having to move his work to his home on weekends. The family went to the sports hall in the neighborhood yesterday to play badminton, and after breakfast today, they lazily nestled in the living room and didn’t go out. An Zhaoming accompanied Shen Ying to watch TV, and An Xing nestled in the sofa to play with his cell phone.
When Auntie Zhang at home came out and asked everyone what they wanted to eat for lunch, An Xing quickly raised his hand:
“I’ll go out to eat! Don’t mind me!”
Seeing that it was about time, An Xing got up to go change his clothes and heard An Zhaoming shout behind him:
“Your second uncle and his family are coming for dinner tonight, don’t come back too late.”
“Got it!”
An Xing slipped even faster.

On the big weekend An Xing was not staying at home, of course he was going to look for Lu Tian Shen.
An Xing’s home was in a villa area on the southern outskirts of Tang City, leaning against the mountains, while where Lu Tian Shen lived was on the northern outskirts of the city, closer to the Lu’s House. When An Xing arrived at Lu’s house, it was already lunch time, and Lu Tian Shen, who came to open the door, had a gray apron around his waist.
“Wow, Brother Shen are you cooking today!”
People who have been abroad are different, they can cook many day-to-day dishes. Unlike An Xing, who only had small desserts to pick up.
“Someone just sent a batch of sea shrimp, you should like it.”
Lu Tian Shen opened the door and returned to the kitchen, An Xing couldn’t help but follow with a couple steps and nodded his head vigorously.
“Like like like ……”
The corner of Lu Tian Shen’s mouth hooked, thinking that when the little fool walked into the kitchen with him, he could hand feed a shrimp, then a furry shadow leapt over next to him.
“Meow ow~”
Then came the teenager’s surprised voice.
“Hua Hua ah!”
Lu Tian Shen: ……
Real men don’t look at the heavenly thunderstorm behind them, and Lu Tian Shen goes back to the kitchen alone, cooking in solitude.
An Xing rubbed the kitten that came out to greet him with a happy face.
On the big weekend An Xing did not stay at home, but came to find Lu Tian Shen, and of course it was for the cat!
Speaking of this cat, it was actually picked up by An Xing two years ago, and only this one survived in the litter. He sent the kitten to the pet hospital, because it was a short American with flower arms, so it was named Hua Hua. (Hua in chinese means flower)
When Hua Hua stopped having to drink milk, An Xing was happy to bring a large pile of cat supplies and the cat back home, and was shocked to find out when he entered the house –
Shen Ying cat hair allergy.
You can’t blame An Xing for this, even Shen Ying herself didn’t know she was allergic to cat hair.
Compared to the pet he just picked up and his mother, An Xing of course cares more about Shen Ying, but he also likes the kitten very much. He had picked up the kitten when it was about to die, and as a young teenager who had just reached adulthood, he inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility for the kitten and didn’t want to just give it to a stranger to adopt out.
“If you don’t feel comfortable with others, then I’ll keep it for you.”
At that time, Lu Tian Shen, who had just started practicing with Lu’s company, said to the little teenager with a distressed face.
“After entering Lu’s, I won’t be moving anytime soon. If I have to travel, I can get someone to help feed the cat. You can also come over to play with him on weekends if you’re not doing anything.”
So Hua Hua followed Lu Tian Shen home.
It had to be said that when An Xing had agreed to get engaged, Hua Hua was also one of the bargaining chips.
“Hua Hua is so well behaved, she actually recognizes me ow!”
An Xing was already sitting on the floor, rubbing the kitten with a face full of ecstasy.
The kitten lightly wagged the tip of its tail, squinting its eyes to enjoy the caress.
An Xing rubbed the cat for a while, looked up to see Lu Tian Shen already serving the rice, and quickly jumped up to wash his hands and help. Just when he wanted to serve the dishes, he realized that all four dishes and one soup had already been served out and set up by Lu Tian Shen, and when he tried to serve the rice again, he was also blocked.
“There’s fruit juice inside the refrigerator, go pour two cups.”
An Xing was circling around the man with an empty hand, and finally hearing a task that he could do, he hurriedly ran to it.
By the time he came out holding two cups of juice, Lu Tian Shen even had his chopsticks set up.
“What’s wrong? Come over and eat.”
The man turned back in the dining room, one hand still adjusting the position of the dinner plate, his expression softened along with his gaze when he looked over.
Holding the juice and walking over, An Xing couldn’t help but boast.
“Brother Shen you are also too virtuous bah! You can cook so many delicious food! Why are you so great! There are still people outside who say you’re mean, they must be jealous of you!”
The corners of Lu Tian Shen’s mouth hooked up, his mood was delightful to an unknown degree higher than when he was being praised by his subordinates, and his mouth only said:
“You say that every time you come to eat.”
An Xing’s rainbow fart came out with his mouth open.
“Because every time I find Brother Shen’s excellence ah! Brother Shen, you’re superb!”
With a good companion like this, what more could one ask for!
Lu Tian Shen pulled out his chair, “Hurry up and eat.”
On the table were white burnt prawns, garlic ribs, kung pao chicken, dry pot cauliflower, bamboo fungus, tofu and green vegetable soup, black rice and fruit juice. An Xing sniffled and took two pictures, then couldn’t wait to clip the ribs and start eating.
“…… Mmmm!”
An Xing had a whole bunch of rainbow farts he wanted to blow, but was gagged by Lu Tian Shen with a smile.
“Eat yours, don’t flatter.”
An Xing was very sorry for not being able to praise Lu Tian Shen and ate it up.
No need for two men to chat all the time at dinner, especially when the talkative one indulges in eating. An Xing really thinks Lu Tianchen’s cooking is delicious. Besides, as a foodie, of course he must give back to the chef with 100% enthusiasm, and every move he makes is sincere.
Lu Tian Shen looked in a better mood and waited for An Xing to eat more than enough before he opened his mouth to ask:
“You said yesterday that you wanted me to do you a favor and to say it in person. What’s wrong, what difficulties have you encountered?”
Here it comes! The focus of this meal had come!
An Xing instantly withdrew his hand that was pinching cauliflower, straightened his sitting posture, and first inquired:
“Brother Lu, does your family have any hospitals with better confidentiality? The kind that can do precise examinations and issue reports!”
Lu Tian Shen raised his eyebrows slightly.
“The Lu family has invested in private hospitals, what kind of examination do you want to do?”
The most challenging place to test acting skills arrived!
An Xing made an angry and aggrieved look.
“It’s not because An Hao is talking nonsense outside, causing some people to suspect that I’m not dad’s biological child!”
“I’m going to take the paternity test to slap their faces!”
