Clenching his little fist, An Xing felt that his reaction after being targeted was both magnanimous and domineering, simply excellent. He never imagined that Xiao Rui was secretly complaining about him.
In his opinion, this kind of children's targeting of each other was meaningless, and the real test should be done on the field. So what happened just now did not leave any ripples in his heart, and all he could think about was the oil-splashed noodles in the cafeteria.
There was no one in the new elevator. Halfway down, An Xing remembered another important thing and quickly looked at Xiao Rui.
"Teacher Xiao, the person who will be eating with us is called Ning Rong, and he is the same age as me."
Xiao Rui was looking at his phone. When he heard this, he looked over in confusion, not understanding what this had to do with him.
"Just... say hello to Teacher Xiao first, because he has a special status."
The boy looked well-behaved.
"We took the wrong child at the hospital. In terms of blood relationship, he is the An family's child."
Xiao Rui: ???
"bite--"
The elevator door opened, and the boy standing at the cafeteria entrance looked up as if he had noticed something. An Xing waved happily.
"Ning Rong Ning Rong~ We are here!"
Xiao Rui followed An Xing out in a daze, and it took some willpower to digest what An Xing had just said. He looked at the boy at the entrance of the cafeteria and was stunned.
This kid... in another ten years, he will probably look exactly like An Zhaoming, and will definitely be the real young master of the An family. He looked at An Xing with a complicated expression, and saw the boy running over foolishly.
"Today the cafeteria has oil-splashed noodles! You can get us three bowls first. Teacher Xiao and I will go to queue up to get the food!"
The boy put away his phone, responded, and was very gentle to An Xing. There was no tension between the two real and fake young masters.
When An Xing returned to Xiao Rui, the young man had a complicated expression.
"It's such a big thing, and I didn't hear anything outside...you just tell me directly?"
An Xing exclaimed "Ah", a little confused, and it took him a while to react.
"Hey, we are friends, I certainly won't hide such a big thing from Teacher Xiao!"
The young man puffed out his chest and whispered guiltily.
"Besides, the truth will be revealed in the future anyway, so there's no point in hiding it!"
The Xiao family and the An family have a close cooperative relationship. An Xing thinks that it doesn't matter to others, but there is no need to keep Xiao Rui in the dark. And...
He is not a child of the An family and will not inherit An Ning Jewelry in the future. If Xiao Rui cares about this matter and does not want him to study with him anymore, he can take this opportunity to make things clear as soon as possible.
An Xing doesn't mind, after all, everyone has to think about themselves.
An Xing thought so and joined the queue to get his food.
Xiao Rui was not an artist who was detached from the world. He understood what An Xing meant after a little thought. He shook his head, and when Ning Rong went to get the oil-splashed noodles, he stood behind An Xing and spoke lightly.
"I don't just bring any intern designer with me and teach him."
The boy turned around instantly, his almond-shaped eyes widened and bright.
Xiao Rui glanced at the little fool.
"I lead people based on fate. It has nothing to do with your last name or whose blood is in your body."
After all, he is a member of the Xiao family. Even if he works at Anning Jewelry, Xiao Rui does not have to look at An Zhaoming's eyes. When An Xing was brought by Secretary Xu, Secretary Xu also said that if Xiao Rui did not want to, then he did not have to bring An Xing.
Xiao Rui was willing to keep this little thing because he thought it was well-behaved and obedient.
The meaning of this was very clear, that is, Xiao Rui was still willing to teach An Xing. An Xing didn't know how to describe it, he just felt happy and happy. In public, he didn't know how to express this joy, so he held the plate and squeezed towards Xiao Rui, grinning foolishly.
Xiao Rui looked away, unable to bear to look at this stupid disciple.
Ning Rong came back with the noodles and saw the little fool rubbing against Xiao Rui. His eyebrows jumped fiercely, and he walked over to pull the little fool off. Before he could say anything, he heard a gasp around him. When he looked up, several people covered their mouths in shock.
Ning Rong: ...
An Xing also reacted. Since everyone didn't know Ning Rong's identity, they might have misunderstood Ning Rong's behavior just now.
Oh, this won’t do. When Ning Rong’s identity is exposed, he can’t let everyone think that Ning Rong is bullying him.
An Xing pushed Ning Rong into the food queue and pointed out the food to people attentively.
"The fish-flavored eggplant in the cafeteria is delicious, please buy more!"
Ning Rong also heard the inhalation just now, and realized that his performance was somewhat conspicuous. He didn't say anything, and after serving the dishes, he took the two to the table where he placed the bowls. After the three of them sat down, Ning Rong and Xiao Rui started chatting.
Although Ning Rong always had a cold face and Xiao Rui always looked arrogant, they were very friendly and polite when they wanted to communicate with each other. An Xing bit his chopsticks and watched for a while. Seeing that they were quite harmonious, he happily ate noodles and played with his phone.
"Who are you talking to?"
Hearing Ning Rong's question, An Xing swallowed the noodles in his mouth and replied with a smile:
"I told Brother Chen that I wanted to participate in the competition, and then I said I wanted to design a piece of jewelry for Huahua - the cat in Brother Chen's house - as my entry. Brother Chen said I could design a cat ear headband for Huahua, hahahaha!"
After laughing for a long time, An Xing found that the two people in front of him had indifferent expressions.
An Xing: "...Don't you think it's funny?"
Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and tapped the boy on the head with a finger.
"You are allowed to participate in the competition. You dare to make cat ears!"
Ning Rong didn't react at first, but when she saw Xiao Rui was about to hit her again, she stretched out her hand to block it. The boy had no expression on his face and spoke in a serious tone.
"What's wrong with the cat ear headband? There are so many cat lovers in the world, so it must be selling well."
An Xing immediately puffed out his chest proudly, feeling very pleased with himself.
Xiao Rui: ...
Xiao Rui was speechless. He felt that as for the two real and fake young masters whose relationship was a mystery, well, just be happy.
After lunch, An Xing didn't put down her phone and kept messaging people. Xiao Rui was not surprised by this, so Ning Rong couldn't help asking:
"Are you still messaging Lu Tianchen?"
"Yeah, that's right!" An Xing held the phone and chatted with the man intently, "Brother Chen said that if I need anything during the competition, I can just contact him~"
Ning Rong looked at the young man with a complicated expression and said nothing more.
For the rest of the day, Xiao Rui no longer asked An Xing to do a bunch of chores, and An Xing began to prepare for the competition.
Although he had to leave the An family and be self-reliant, An Xing was not really a fool. He would not rely on any help and would start all over again.
He didn't plan to take the money that An Zhaoming and Shen Ying had given him before, so he had to earn some money before leaving home. The prize money from this competition would be his first pot of gold!
An Xing solemnly wrote down the bonus in his little notebook.
It's so little, not even enough for a pair of shoes. But it doesn't matter, as long as it sells well, the bulk of the money will still be the commission from the sales of the work.
Encouraging himself, An Xing began to study the winning works of previous years' competitions in order to understand the judges' tastes.
An Xing spent the whole afternoon carefully looking through his previous works, making notes on a document. During this time, his phone rang several times, with messages from various people, most of which he ignored, except for Lu Tianchen's message, which An Xing would definitely reply to.
Brother Chen is a pinned contact. Can he have the same status as other ordinary contacts?
That is definitely not possible.
The next few days passed in a flash, and one Friday morning while sitting at the dining table, An Xing suddenly remembered that he had passed an important time point in his previous life.
——At this time in the previous life, An Hao's family brought Ning Rong to their home, holding the paternity test report, and bombarded them with the news of the wrong baby, which left them completely stunned.
At that time, Ning Rong's parents' house was taken away by the Ning family, and he was driven out of the house by them, so he could only live in a friend's house. When he came to the An family, he looked at them with indifference, like a wounded and cruel lone wolf.
At that time, Chen Ying was so shocked by the truth that she was sick and couldn't get up; An Zhaoming not only had to take care of the company, but also had to worry about his family when he returned.
He did nothing at that time until he finally mustered up the courage to look for Ning Rong, but he ended up having a car accident.
But in this life, everything has changed.
At the dining table, An Zhaoming was watching the news, Chen Ying was reading a magazine, Ning Rong was peeling eggs for An Xing, and An Xing moved over.
"Ning Rong, Ning Rong, didn't you stay at a friend's house to avoid those two people a while ago? You two have a very good relationship, right? Then when are you going to invite him to your house to play?"
Ning Rong paused, and the other two looked over. Chen Ying immediately said:
"Yes, Rongrong, he must be your good friend, right? That kid treated you for a few days, you should also invite him to your home... or go out for a meal to express your gratitude."
"..." Ning Rong looked at the two of them, "Can I ask him to come home?"
An Zhaoming put down his chopsticks and said seriously:
"Of course. This is your home, you can bring any friends you want. Just tell us if you need anything, and don't be polite to your family."
Ning Rong felt warm in his heart and nodded: "I understand."
He glanced at An Xing and said, "Will you come to dinner with us after get off work today? My friend would like to meet you, too."
An Xing understood. Ning Rong's friends must be worried that he, the adopted son of the An family, would be difficult to get along with, and they must be secretly bullying Ning Rong at home. That's why they wanted to use the excuse of having a meal to see what kind of person he was.
Hi! It seems this is a good friend!
This friend is very easy to get along with. Not only will he take Ning Rong in, but he will also take the initiative to inquire about Ning Rong's life after being recognized. He can really handle things when something happens.
Although I had never heard of Ning Rong's friend in my previous life, it was not him who was considerate enough to ask An Xingxing to find Ning Rong in my previous life! People like An Hao, whose eyes are above his hairline, would definitely not be as attentive as him!
The young man patted his chest and raised his head proudly.
"No problem! It's my treat!"
An Zhaoming and Shen Ying looked at the baby with a smile, thinking that their baby was so adorable. It was a blessing and could promote family harmony.
The three men went to work together as usual that day. Thinking about the dinner in the evening, An Xing finished his study task early and started chatting with Ning Rong, crazily recommending barbecue.
Better to have nothing than to have something bad: Mom said that you have a bad stomach and can’t eat barbecue at night.
An Xingxing Chaoxing:! You are inviting your friends to dinner, why are you still asking your mother for her opinion?
Better to have nothing than to have something bad: Why did you change your WeChat name again?
An Xingxing Chaoxing: Because we are going to compete, we need an auspicious name...
On Friday afternoon, there were not many people left in the design department, and they gathered in groups of two or three to chat. Xiao Rui's workbench was in a corner, and at the moment, only An Xing was sitting there playing with his phone, not paying attention to what the other designers were talking about.
So when someone spoke, An Xing didn't even realize that person was talking to him.
Until the table in front of him was knocked several times, the provocation and contempt were too strong. An Xing looked up in surprise and saw the designer who had childishly left by elevator that time, looking down at him.
"An Xing, don't you usually study other people's works until very late? It's not even time to get off work yet, why don't you study anymore?"
