Chapter 18



Ah, he seemed to have fallen into the lake just now.

Then, Ning Rong jumped down to save him?

The handsome young boy's hands and feet were so weak that he could not use any strength. He was pulled ashore by the tall boy and the tourists who came over to help. He sat on the ground, still in a daze.

"Are you okay? Did you choke on the water?"

Ning Rong didn't have time to care about the water all over himself. He grabbed the boy's shoulders and asked anxiously.

An Xing finally came to his senses, and then felt a burning sensation in his nose and throat, and immediately started to cough. He coughed and said "Pah, pah, pah", and then he felt some pain in his wrists and elbows.

He fell face up just now, and subconsciously waved his hands to keep balance. The shallow water prevented him from drowning, but it also lacked a cushion. If he hadn't used his hands to support himself, he would have probably fallen headfirst.

"Xingxing! Xingxing, are you okay?"

Chen Ying didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pushed away several adult men who were watching and rushed in front of the boy. She wanted to grab her son's arm with trembling hands, but she didn't dare to touch it.

"Mom, cough cough... I... I'm fine... cough cough cough!..."

An Xing didn't choke on much water, but it was not clean at all, and he kept coughing while talking. Ning Rong was more experienced, patting An Xing on the back, frowning and saying:

"It's better to go to the hospital to see if there is a lung infection..."

"Hey, where are you going? You pushed someone into the water and you're trying to run away!"

Ms. Liu felt bad when she saw the boy fall into the pool. When she saw him being rescued, she took her husband and tried to sneak away while no one was paying attention. But the staff of the scenic spot were sharp-eyed and stopped them sternly.

My goodness, if these two people ran into the scenic area to cause trouble, pushed people into the water and then ran away, then the responsibility will be entirely on their scenic area!

The staff member was sweating profusely. While reporting to his superior on the intercom, he asked the tourists to stop the two men.

"A Ying?! Son?! What happened! Son, you fell into the pool?!"

An Zhaoming came out with KFC in his arms and saw that the outside was in chaos. He could not find his wife and child. He only heard tourists say that someone had fallen into the water. When he looked out, he found that it was his child who had fallen into the water. He was immediately scared and broke into a cold sweat. He had just squeezed into the crowd and did not know what had happened when he heard a sharp voice shouting next to him.

"Who pushed someone into the water? It was obviously that little bastard who jumped in on purpose to scam people!"

An Zhaoming was stunned and his eyes fell on An Xing again.

What do you mean, his kid didn't fall into the water accidentally, but was pushed into the water by someone? !

The man was furious and was about to turn around and curse when a soft body jumped into his arms. He supported his wife skillfully and looked down to see the woman looking over there and crying.

"Madam, how did my child offend you? He just accompanied us on a bike ride in the park. He was too tired to walk and rested here. He would definitely not take the initiative to get involved in the incident. Even if you don't like him, you can't push him into the water! Look at him, he can't even breathe, and you still slander him for scamming!"

"You look like a mother at your age, how can you be so cruel to other people's children!"

The causes and consequences are clear, and the accusation of weakness is obvious.

The slender and beautiful woman had a sad face, lying in the arms of the tall and handsome man, choking and crying. Even though she was angry that her child was being blamed, she was trying her best to reason with him. On the other hand, the red-faced assailant on the other side seemed to want to rush over and beat people up if he hadn't been held back by the people next to him.

As for the child who fell into the water, he was coughing and gasping for breath. He was supported by the boy next to him. His body was still shaking, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Judging a person's goodness or badness by his appearance is superficial, but the crowd were just watching, and when they saw the arrogant look of the person who pushed others, they all started to criticize him.

"I saw it clearly just now. It was you who pushed the child hard, causing him to fall into the water!"

"That's right! What's the point of saying that? The kid just said a few fair words because he thought you were too much. He doesn't even know you!"

“Too arrogant!”

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation. The two Nings were surrounded and unable to leave. Chen Ying wept in sorrow while An Zhaoming tried to suppress his anger. Security guards and staff came over from a distance, and someone could be heard saying, "At worst, call the police! We can all testify!"

An Xing stared at everything in front of him in a daze. He struggled to get up and reached out to pull Chen Ying and An Zhaoming.

"I didn't..."

"Don't move, lie down, we're going to the hospital."

Ning Rong grabbed An Xing's outstretched hand and pinned him down forcefully, preventing him from getting up.

An Xing: ...

Finally, the ambulance took An Xing and Ning Rong to the hospital, and the police car took away the staff and the Ning couple. Shen Ying went to take a statement, and An Zhaoming stayed in the hospital with the two children.

"Doc! How are they?"

The nearest public hospital to the park was An Zhaoming, who was waiting at the emergency room entrance. When he saw the doctor coming out, he hurried over to greet him.

"It's okay. Although the boy who fell into the water choked on water, it's not serious. He doesn't have a lung infection. He just needs to go back and have a good rest."

The doctor nodded to An Zhaoming.

"His arms and hands were scratched by rocks, and they were also slightly sprained. Fortunately, they are not serious. The nurse is treating them. Be careful not to let the wound get wet in the next few days."

An Zhaoming breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of Ning Rong who jumped down to save An Xing, and asked again:

"What about the other kid? How is he?"

"That one is healthier. There's nothing wrong with it except their clothes are wet." The doctor said with a smile, "The two children have gone to change their clothes. Here are their ID cards. You can give them to them after you pay the fees."

An Zhaoming took the inspection form and ID card.

The doctor smiled and said, "Your son is very brave. He jumped down to save people!"

An Zhaoming was stunned, and subconsciously said: "The one who fell into the water is my son..."

Doctor: "Really? Oh, I think that tall guy looks a lot like you, haha!"

The doctor left to treat the next patient. An Zhaoming stood there in a daze for a long while, then looked down at the two ID cards in his hand.

The two children were born on the same day.

An Xing and Ning Rong's clothes and pants were soaked, so the people from the scenic spot sent them some clothes. An Xing had a wound on his hand, so Ning Rong helped him put on the clothes.

After both of them had changed, the door of the ward was pushed open and An Zhaoming walked in with a somewhat serious look on his face.

An Xing immediately shrank his neck, a little scared and a little worried. He had just been told not to meddle in other people's business, so as not to get involved in trouble and danger, but something happened anyway. His father must be very angry.

"Dad, I'm hungry. Is KFC still open?"

An Zhaoming turned his head and saw that the boy's curly hair was flat like the ears of a kitten, his light brown eyes were moist, and his face was smiling ingratiatingly.

"Why are you eating KFC? Your voice is so hoarse! Go home and have some porridge!"

An Zhaoming said with a sullen face, and the boy immediately wilted and held his stomach in grievance. However, he temporarily ignored his son and looked at Ning Rong out of the corner of his eye.

The boy was tall, and the T-shirt he wore for the scenic area was supported by his young and strong body, which surprisingly fit him well. His exposed arms and legs were a healthy wheat color, with neat and beautiful muscle lines, a clear facial contour, and a pair of dark and narrow eyes.

An Zhaoming finally remembered where the vague sense of familiarity came from when he saw the boy.

He looked like this more than 20 years ago when he was just 20 years old.

An Zhaoming lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell back on An Xing with some complexity, and saw that this silly boy didn't realize anything, holding his stomach and muttering that he was hungry. He twitched his mouth, took out the bread and water he bought when he went to pay the bill just now, and handed them to An Xing.

"Fill your stomach first and eat when you get home."

An Xing took it happily and was about to share some with Ning Rong, but he saw that An Zhaoming had already given Ning Rong the same portion.

"You should eat something too. Thanks to you today, otherwise my silly boy..."

Ning Rong took the bread and water, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "An Xing was angered by... my aunt because of helping me. I should say sorry."

An Zhaoming asked calmly, "When did you two meet? I've never heard Xingxing mention you before."

“This is only the second time we’ve met.”

The second time they met, the little idiot probably didn’t know that their birthdays were on the same day, An Zhaoming thought silently.

The boy had a wound on his hand, so it was difficult for him to unscrew the bottle of mineral water. The boy put down the water he had taken a few sips of, helped the boy unscrew the bottle, and then helped him tear open the bread bag. An Zhaoming watched for a while, and his mood became more complicated.

He hoped he was overthinking it.

An Xing puffed out his cheeks while chewing bread. Seeing that neither of them spoke, he had no choice but to ask.

"Dad, is Mom in the police station? What will those two do?"

An Zhaoming came back to his senses, glanced at Ning Rong who didn't respond, and then said:

"The police checked the surveillance footage and found that the woman did not intend to push you into the pool... It is very likely that our family will issue a letter of apology and the matter will be over."

An Xing's eyes widened: "Dad, you know she didn't do it on purpose, right?"

An Zhaoming was angry: "Nonsense!"

An Xing felt wronged. You two were crying and one of you was looking cold, I thought you were really going to put him in jail!

An Zhaoming looked at Ning Rong again: "Are those your uncle and aunt? Why are they bothering you?"

Ning Rong swallowed the bread and said slowly:

"I am not my parents' biological child. I was taken away by mistake. After my parents passed away, they wanted to take over my old house."

An Zhaoming: ...

He shouldn't have asked that question.
