The Luo family was barbecuing, and An Xing supported his chin and watched Lu Tianchen grilling meat for him.
The An family got rich from An Xing's grandfather, but unfortunately the old man was in poor health and died early. Before he died, he divided the family property equally between An's father and An's second uncle, but only An's father seized the opportunity to expand An Ning Jewelry and invested in many industries with the money he earned. This period was the golden period of national development, and An's father made a lot of money from almost everything he invested in.
In total, the An family became richer and richer since An Xing was born. Therefore, An Xing had never suffered from any hardship since he was a child, and there were always many people around him who flattered him.
For example, when a group of people go out to eat, there will always be some people who try their best to squeeze into their circle, and they wish they could stand next to An Xing and serve him. Of course, An Xing is not used to this and refuses it, but...
He stretched out his hand tentatively: “Brother Shen, let me turn the meat, you take a rest…”
The hand that reached out to pick up the barbecue was blocked by another bony hand. Lu Tianchen picked up the barbecue, turned it over, and pressed An Xing's outstretched little hand back.
"You wait for the meat, I'll do it. Go on, what else did An Hao say?"
An Xing: ...
Well, it was Brother Chen who told him not to bake, but he took the initiative to do it! An Xing thought confidently, and continued to mutter to Lu Tianchen.
"What else can he say? He just tried to sow discord in a sarcastic way, saying that I left the marketing department because I didn't want to work overtime or endure hardships... The design department is obviously also very busy."
Lu Tianchen nodded: "You did the right thing."
An Xing supported his chin and said nothing, watching Lu Tianchen slowly grilling meat for him.
From childhood to adulthood, Lu Tianchen seemed to have not changed much, always so slow and methodical, everything was under control. As far as he could remember, he had never seen Lu Tianchen lose his composure, he was always gentle and calm.
Unlike him, he has already died once, and everything he has experienced is terrifying to talk about! An Xing sighed.
While grilling meat, Lu Tianchen did not ignore An Xing. When he noticed that the boy's eyes were blank, he knew that the little idiot was wandering somewhere again, and he looked very happy. He did not say anything, but just quietly paid attention to the grilling.
The light in the barbecue restaurant was very saturated, shining on the man's hand like a spotlight. An Xing looked up along Lu Tianchen's hand, and saw the strong lines of his forearm with his shirt sleeves rolled up. He looked at Lu Tianchen's arm, then pinched his own arm, and always felt that the other person's arm was inexplicably... attractive.
"Brother Chen, how do you usually exercise?" An Xing asked curiously.
Lu Tianchen was a little surprised by this question. He looked up and saw the boy's expression full of envy.
"You want to work out?"
An Xing touched his arm again.
“I want to have muscles too!”
“…”
Lu Tianchen fell into a subtle silence, paused, and then spoke:
"You're fine the way you are now. Do some aerobic exercise to strengthen your heart and lungs. Muscles, no need."
An Xing turned a deaf ear and continued:
"Should I start lifting weights? Will exercising more help me grow taller? I think I'm a little short."
An Xing looked at Lu Tianchen who was taller than him while sitting, and then thought about Ning Rong who was obviously the same age as him but was a head taller than him. He felt jealous!
Lu Tian silently pushed the soy milk over, then put the roasted marbled beef into An Xing's baking tray and calmly dissuaded her.
"Lifting weights requires professional guidance. Don't do it on your own. Do aerobics first. If you want to try lifting weights later, I'll teach you."
But according to this little fool's quiet nature, there shouldn't be a future. Lu Tian pondered and took another piece of barbecue.
"eat."
An Xing immediately stopped caring about his muscles and happily took the lettuce wrap to eat. Seeing that Lu Tianchen was still grilling it, he kindly helped to roll one and handed it to Lu Tianchen's mouth.
"Brother Shen, you eat too! I'll feed you!"
Lu Tianchen paused, lowered his eyes and looked into An Xing's eyes. The boy's light brown eyes were clean, without a trace of ambiguity, only the love for food and the joy of sharing.
“…”
Seeing the man finish eating and then continue grilling with a serious face, An Xing didn't care and casually talked about what happened in the company in the past two days. As he talked, he was a little absent-minded again.
Lu Tianchen has always been good to him, and only to him.
After the incident of the real and fake young master in his previous life came out, many malicious people suddenly appeared around him. At that time, he stayed at home and rarely went out, not only to avoid the limelight and not to bother Ning Rong, but also because someone was pestering him during that time.
It was not until Lu Tianchen stepped in and took care of those people who were pestering him that he was able to feel at peace.
Thinking about his past life, and thinking about how such a good brother Chen would protect him in the future, he should be the real young master of the An family. An Xing was inexplicably a little unhappy. But this unhappiness was quickly suppressed by him - he didn't even covet the identity of the young master of the An family, so what was he thinking about being the fiancé of the young master of the An family.
"Try this sauce, open your mouth."
An Xing opened her mouth subconsciously, and her mouth was instantly filled with the aroma of sauce. After chewing again, the tender and fragrant barbecue mixed with the sauce brought an incomparable enjoyment to her taste buds. An Xing squinted her eyes and shook her head.
“Delicious, delicious!”
A smile flashed across the man's face, and he continued to feed him. An Xing took a few bites and was enjoying it when he heard the man ask:
"Besides what happened at the company yesterday, has anything else happened recently?"
An Xing held the meat in his mouth and shook his head innocently: "No!"
I was actually reborn in the company. You’ll be scared to death if I tell you this!
An Xing thought silently.
Logically speaking, he should cancel the engagement with Lu Tianchen and keep a distance. But it was hard to talk about this matter. He couldn't just say "Brother Chen, I'm not a child of the An family, let's cancel the engagement."
It is better not to reveal the truth to others until he has thought of a complete plan and minimizes the impact of the truth on the An family.
An Xing quickly picked up a piece of meat and put it on Lu Tianchen's plate, changing the subject.
“Brother Shen, eat!”
Lu Tianchen looked at the boy who had a bit of servility in his eyes and didn't ask any more questions.
When they were eating, An Xing talked and Lu Tianchen listened. When An Xing finished talking, they finished eating. Just as An Xing was rubbing his stomach with satisfaction, he saw the man handing him a box.
"What's this?"
An Xing took it curiously, opened it without thinking, and then widened his eyes.
"Last time you said you wanted some handmade paint that is only available overseas. I asked someone to bring it back for you."
Under the light, the man spoke in a calm tone, as if it was not worth mentioning.
An Xing instantly felt that his brother Chen was not a big pig's hoof, but the best childhood sweetheart brother in the world!
Although he planned to tell his parents the truth about the wrong baby before An Hao did, An Xing couldn't think of any foolproof way. He collected An's father's hair, but he didn't know where to find a reliable identification agency, and secondly... he was at work.
That’s right, after switching to the design department, An Xing discovered the joy of working.
Xiao Rui, who taught An Xing, was very capable. Although he had a bad temper, he was not the kind of person who would lose his temper easily. When he was with An Xing, he was willing to give him advice and guidance. The other people in the design department were even more friendly and easy to talk to, even if they could not teach the boss's son, who was well-behaved, studious and talented.
After a week, An Xing had become familiar with the design department, and was fed snacks by the boys and girls every day. An Xing, who had never skipped work even though he was so unhappy in the marketing department, took the initiative to work overtime and study in the design department, and was so happy that he didn't miss home.
At the weekend, An Xing was just about to take a rest at home when he saw the group message notification on WeChat.
An Xing has been a well-behaved child since he was young. He studied hard at school, but he preferred hands-on work to theoretical courses. Over time, he developed a strong ability in handicrafts.
In recent years, various traditional or emerging handicraft arts have been extremely popular among young people. Traditional handicrafts such as sugar painting, paper cutting, and sculpture, and emerging handicrafts such as figures, models, and BJD dolls have shown great vitality after being combined with short videos on the Internet.
As for An Xing, he has money, free time, and a family tradition of handicrafts, so he will try any handicraft he finds interesting. He is proficient in more than a dozen and a master of several, so he has joined many groups.
This is a small group with a message prompt. It contains several friends that An Xing met in several handicraft circles and got along well with. They made an appointment to have dinner together on the weekend.
After seeing the news about this dinner party, An Xing decided to go there on the weekend.
Tangcheng will hold an exhibition in a month, and all the exhibitors are well-known emerging designers in China. Tickets for the exhibition are internal, and ordinary people cannot get them. During the weekend dinner, there is a person in the small group who will distribute tickets to everyone.
After all, you are no longer a rich young master anymore, so you must take advantage of opportunities immediately!
So, on Saturday afternoon, An Xing asked his family driver, Uncle Li, to take him to the old town, and after agreeing to be picked up in the evening, he happily went to the appointment.
This small group has been established for two years, and several people in the group have met in person many times, and have a good relationship with each other, otherwise they would not have shared exhibition tickets. An Xing happily ate and chatted with everyone until late at night, and finally got the exhibition ticket, and happily stood at the street corner waiting for Uncle Li to pick it up.
He actually hasn't figured out his future path yet, and he's not sure whether to join An Ning Jewelry. When the real and fake young master returns, he can't covet the An family's property, and he always has to make some plans for himself. Handicrafts are his hobby, and if this can develop into his career in the future, that would be great, wouldn't it?
An Xing was in a daze at the street corner. A scream frightened him and he shivered violently. He subconsciously took a few steps towards the light and looked back. In the deep alley, a figure stumbled towards him.
An Xing's eyes widened.
Isn't this Ning Rong? How did she get beaten like this?
