Rebirth and Redemption

Chapter 9 part 2

The boys also saw Gui Heng and walked towards his table to say hello. They came towards the table and saw Rong Yun coming over with two bowls of soup which looked like they were for Gui Heng and Si Xian.

Theboys looked at each other with a knowing look and smiled while coming over.

Yu Zhiming “Yo, isn’t this the little gay pervert? Is he also going to be a maid now?”

Pang Xuan “Zhiming , be careful you don’t catch his germs and become a pervert like him.”

Yu Zhiming arrogantly waved his hand at Rong Yun. “Still don’t get lost? Get away and don’t affect Heng Ge’s meal. Don’t think that I won’t beat you up next time I see you around here.”

Rong Yun stood completely still and bowed his head a little, his heart a little stuffy and uncomfortable.

He had always known that there were bullies in Junior and high school but he had never been a target of bullies before. He didn’t know how to react to this.

In fact he is not the only one clueless on how to act. Gui Heng was also feeling very tangled. He knew as long as he said a word all these boys would stop bullying Rong Yun but he didn’t feel like he wanted to. These guys had been his friends for the last two years in High school and in comparison with his relationship with Rong Yun to that with these boys, the one with Rong Yun is only superficial. 

Si Xian’s face was very cold and it was clear to see that the words of these boys made him very angry. He has also heard the rumors about Rong Yun’s sexuality but honeslty sexuality was a personal choice and no one had the right to bully someone for it. Also no one knows if the rumors are true and yet they choose to bully Rong Yun without even confirming it then it only feels very stupid to him.

“Still not leaving?” Pang Xuan spoke in a threatening manner.

“Who’s going where?”  Chu Feng who had just come back asked him coldly from behind.

Chu Feng right now looks very terrifying, his eyes so cold that it seemed like there was no warmth in them at all. It almost feels like that if someone says something he doesn’t like he will directly throw the plate in his hands at their face. The feeling Chu Feng is giving off right now is completely different from the past. Before if he was angry then he would fight or beat up someone and his anger would be vented but now the killing intent in his eyes and the quiet atmosphere around him makes people feel their scalp becoming numb with fear and terror.

Pang Xuan saw Chu Feng behind him and laughed awkwardly. “ Hey brother, I didn’t say it to you. Said it to Rong Yun,”

They are not in class with the other four so they don’t understand what’s happening there.

Chu Feng put the tray he was holding on the table and slid it towards Rong Yun and made him sit on a chair next to him. “Eat first.”  

After that he looked at the several boys standing in front of him and said slowly. “Forget anything that happened on Friday and never speak about it again. Rong Yun is my friend now and no one is allowed to bully him anymore.”

All the boys suddenly looked at each other with blank faces as if they didn’t understand what was going on before simultaneously looking towards Gui Heng hoping he could explain what was happening. In fact Gui Heng himself felt as if he didn’t really understand anything so he only gestured for them to leave quietly and that he would explain later.

The boys only helplessly chose to turn around a leave obediently. They could only listen to Chu Feng as he was not someone they could afford to go against. The person they bullied before had become close to the boss in a few days, they could only choose to helplessly look at it. It was hard to accept for all of them except Gui Heng who had seen how much Chu Feng was taking care of Rong Yun. If He loves the house then he has to love the crow, based on this principle Gui Heng could not say Rong Yun was bad if he wanted to stay with Chu Feng.

After the others left,Chu Feng sat down next to Rong Yun but his face didn’t look very good.

Rong Yun was happy about Chu Feng protecting him but he didn’t want him to be upset by something related to him. He took a  piece of fried squid and put it in the bowl of Chu Feng. “This is delicious.”

He spoke softly.

Chu Feng looked at Rong Yun’s adorable appearance and all the suffocation in his heart subsided and he immediately revealed a smile. “This is for me. You can only have one.” He remembered that Rong Yun couldn’t have anything heavy or friend for now. He would raise his body for a while and then buy it for him to eat again.

“Okay I won’t eat it, you eat it.” Rong yun smile and picked up his own mung bean porridge. 

“It’s okay to eat one.” Chu Feng gave him one but didn’t let him eat anymore.

“En.” Rong Yun smiled and nodded before starting to eat.

Gui Heng watched them both and was surprised to see that Chu Feng’s mood which was so bad before was changed in the blink of an eye and all Rong Yun had done was to give him a piece of food …..

After eating Gui Heng and Si Xian went to the supermarket to get some snacks. After studying for a long time they would often feel hungry so many students buy things to eat during the day. Rong Yun doesn’t buy anything not only to get to class early but also to save money so he says he doesn’t want anything when Chu Feng asks him. Chu Feng just gave money to Gui Heng and Si Xian to but something for him since they already know his taste and will not but anything he dislikes.

Accompanied by Rong Yun Chu Feng went back to the class where most students were either napping or resting with only a couple reading their books. At this time the classroom was very quiet with the occasional whisper or the gentle sound of a book page being turned.

Chu Feng had not paid attention to class for a long time so focusing in class and trying to remember the things he had learned in class made feel like the beginnings of a huge headache were rising in his head so after the lunch he planned to take a nap in class. After he put his head down and went quiet Rong Tun who wasn’t used to taking naps in class took out a small notebook out and started to write in it.

The peaceful atmosphere of the class made it easy for Rong Yun to think and write.

Probably because Chu Feng wasn’t used to sleeping at noon he was unable to sleep. After resting with closed eyes for a while Chu Feng was a little bored so he opened his eyes and looked quietly at Rong Yun who sat beside him.

Rong Yun was still immersed in writing and so hadn’t noticed that he wasn’t asleep.

After watching Rong Yun, smile, frown and looking confused Chu Feng seemed to see inside Rong Yun’s world through his emotions. Chu Feng looked into what Rong Yun was writing while he was completely lost in his own world.

After finishing a paragraph Rong Yun was going to start a new one but before that he noticed that Chu Feng had gotten up.

“Not sleeping anymore?” Rong Yun asked him gently.

“Not sleepy anymore.” Chu Feng smiled at him. “What are you writing about?” He didn’t want Rong Yun to know he was peeking into what he was writing.

“Nothing much. Just writing arbitrarily.” Rong Yun didn’t seem very interested in showing Chu Feng what  he had written.

“Do you want to write for a magazine?” Chu Feng asked him as if the previous topic was discarded.

These days there are many magazines catering to their age group and if you write then it is a good idea to submit your writings to them. Most of the magazines focus on the romance genre which Rong Yun can write very well in.

“Yeah,” Rong Yun didn’t hide his thoughts. “At the weekend I can go to the internet cafe and type it all and send it as an email. Hearing his words made Chu Feng frown since it was costing Rong Yun to use the internet cafe but for the students who didn’t have a computer, it was very common to go and use the internet cafe. Thinking of this Chu Feng has an idea but he didn’t mention it and instead asked him, “Do you like writing?”

“Yeah, it’s interesting.” Rong Yun replied as he closed his notebook. When Chu Feng was talking to him Rong Yun didn’t want to write but wanted to listen to him instead.

“Do you want to choose a major related to writing in the university?”  Chu Feng asked him.

“En, that’s my plan but I have to see the results of the college entrance examinations.” Rong Yun was interested in writing related majors.

“Which university do you want to go to? Is it a local college?”  Chu Feng asked him with narrowed eyes as he thought of something.

“Yeah, I want to test for A university in our city.” Rong Yun replied.

A university is one of the best universities in the areas which specializes in many departments and the environment and location of the campus is also ideal. It’s indeed a good choice.

Chu Feng thought for a moment before he nodded. “Then we’ll test for A University.” Since Rong Yun wants to go to A University then Chu Feng would accompany him. Although it would be hard but he has enough time to catch upto Rong Yun.
