Chapter 13

 The Quilt

      When Chu Feng arrived home, he greeted his parents and went upstairs to find Chu Rou. He knocked on Chu Rou’s room door and Chu Rou soon came to open the door. When she saw Chu feng, she pouted her mouth and looked unhappy.

       “What’s wrong?” Chu Feng asked with a smile. He didn’t remember how many years had passed since he had seen Chu Rou pouting, the little girl would not do this when she grew up.

       “Did you go to the night market with Rong Yun?” Chu Rou asked, her tone was quite upset.

       “En.” Chu Feng had already told his family that he would go with his desk mate, and Chu Rou would know if she asked them. In fact, he did not specifically tell Chu Rou that he was sitting at the same table with Rong Yun. One day, Chu Rou bought a discounted drink in the supermarket and saw him sitting with Rong Yun when she was delivering it to the classroom for him.

        “You didn’t take me.” Chu Rou complained suddenly in a dissatisfied way which made him feel amused.

       Chu Feng smiled slightly and said, “Next time, I’ll remember to take you too.” As for the next time he was talking about, well who knew when that one would come.

       In fact, after Rong Yun’s suicide, the state of Chu Rou, and the postscript written by Rong Hong in the book, allowed Chu Feng to be sure that Rou Yun had always liked Rong Yun, and Rong Yun knew , but could not respond to Chu Rou’s feelings like she wanted him to . In this life, Chu Feng will be with Rong Yun. He also knows that Rong Yun has always liked him, so Chu Rou has no chance. However, Chu Rou was a girl and Chu Feng didn’t want to speak too plainly and hurt Chu Rou, so he tried to minimize the chance of Chu Rou contacting Rong Yun. When Chu Rou gets a little bigger and more stable, he will tell Chu Rou so that he won’t hurt her as much.

       “Then don’t forget it.” Chu Rou’s face looked slightly better.

       “En, I brought you something to eat. I put it in the kitchen, go and eat it before I change my mind,” Chu Feng teased her.

       Upon hearing that Chu Feng brought her something to eat, Chu Rou immediately smiled and said, “Brother is the best!” After that, she went to the kitchen happily.

       Chu Feng smiled helplessly and returned to his room.

       After taking a shower, Chu Feng sat down at the table, ready to look at Rong Yun’s notes for a while, and then planned to sleep when he was sleepy. It was at that time he heard a knock on his door and told the other person to come in.

       After Song Xin knocked on the door, she brought in a small box and came in.

       “How about your studying?” Song Xin looked at him with a smile and continued when he told her it was going well, “I’m afraid I will forget tomorrow, so I thought I’d bring it to you now.”

       “What is it?” Chu Feng looked at Song Xin’s hand and asked curiously.

       “A quilt.” Song Xin lowered the box and said, “It’s getting colder every day. You take the quilt to school and cover yourself well at night with it. I bought one for you and Chu Rou. Your aunt Guan Min recommended it, and her child also has one and I thought it’s a good idea to get this for you.”

       Guan Min is Song Xin ’s agent. Guan Min brought Song Xin ’s debut. The two are of similar age and have good personalities, so the relationship had always been very good, and they never had any conflicts. In addition to work, they often go out shopping, traveling together, and their children’s age is the same to they always have new topics for conversations.

       Chu Feng carefully looked at the box, which had written with silk quilts on top of it, and it looked to be of good quality. Every year when the seasons change, his mother will prepare a new quilt for him. When he looked around in the cabinet before, he saw a clean thick quilt that was used very little. He no longer remembered what happened to the quilt but using it in winter is definitely fine. And his quilt now was enough to be used for him for heating.

       Although there was a quilt, Chu Feng didn’t refuse. He only said, “Okay, I’ll take it back to school tomorrow. By the way, will you go out tomorrow?”

       “No, is there something You want to do?” Song Xin asked.

       “Can you let your driver take me to school? I just want to bring some thick clothes to school, and with this quilt, going by my own car is more convenient,” Chu Feng said. He originally wanted to take a taxi tomorrow to pick up Rong Yun, but with more things, it is more convenient to have his own car. Taxis are not allowed inside the school, but when parents come to send their children to school, as long as you show your student ID and register at the gate, you can drive directly downstairs to the Dorm.

       “Okay, I’ll tell the driver a while.” Song Xin could agree to this little thing with no hesitation.

       “En, I will pick my desk mate tomorrow, and he will probably bring clothes to school.” If he would ask the driver tomorrow to pick up Rong Yun, the driver would definitely talk to his mother when he would return so he asked his mother for this in advance..

       “Yes, that’s no problem at all,” Song Xin naturally had no reason not to agree for Chu Feng to pick his friend on his way to school.

       During the conversation, Song Xin’s eyes fell on the notebook on Chu Feng’s table. “Are these books not your own?”

       “En, they’re my desk mate’s. These are the knowledge points he organized and borrowed to me.” Chu said. Rong Yun’s notes are written very carefully. It took a lot of time to copy them, but it was really useful.

       “What a good boy,” Song Xin said with emotion. She knew, in the senior year, It was hard to review everything yourself, how can you take care of others? If he had to copy his notes for others it would delay his own studies.

       Song Xin said: “I will let the kitchen make more delicious tomorrow morning, and you will bring it to your desk mate.”

       “Okay,” Chu Feng said. Even if his mother didn’t say it, he would tell the kitchen to make something good for breakfast tomorrow morning.

       “By the way, what’s the name of your desk mate?” Song Xin felt that she didn’t even know the name of Chu Feng’s desk mate and it was strange to keep calling him Chu Feng’s desk mate.

       “Rong Yun.” Chu Huan wrote Rong Yun’s name on the paper so that his mother knew which two characters it was.

       Song Xin nodded after watching and remembered the name in her heart.

       “Okay, you can rest early, don’t study too late.” Song Xin said.

       Chu Feng nodded and wished her an early night, “Okay, you’ll rest early, good night.”

       “Good night.” Song Xin smiled at her son and turned away.

       Chu Feng studied the notes again and felt a little sleepy. Then he picked up his phone and sent Rong Yun the words “Good night”. Then he turned off the lights and laid on the bed. After a few moments, Rong Yun also returned a text with the message of  “Good Night”. Chu Feng raised a corner of his mouth in a smile, put down his mobile phone and slept peacefully.

       After having breakfast the next day, Chu Feng packed his things and was ready to pick up Rong Yun.

       “Brother, I’m going back to school too, take me with you?” Chu Rou said after catching up with Chu Feng who had already gone downstairs.

       Only then did Chu Feng remember that Chu Rou had to take the quilt to school. Even if he doesn’t want Chu Rou to have more contact with Rong Yun, he can’t let his sister take a taxi alone.

       “Okay, you go get it,” Chu Feng said.

       “Okay.” Chu Rou quickly returned to the room to pick up her belongings.

       Chu Rou was listening to Song Xin when she said that Chu Feng would pick up Rong Yun on his way when she ate this morning.

       After getting in the car, they rushed to Rong Yun’s house first, and along the way, Chu Rou’s mouth had a smile on her face, and she seemed quite in a good mood.

       After reaching Rong Yun’s home, Chu Feng called Rong Yun. Rong Yun quickly carried his bag. In addition to his laptop, he also carried a bag with clothes suitable for this season. This morning, Chu Feng called and asked him to bring it. It is more convenient to take it by car, which is better than Rong Yun bringing it in the subway by himself.

       “Brother Rong Yun.” Chu Rou was there, beckoning at him.

       Rong Yun walked with a smile, “You are here too?”

       Chu Rou: “En, I’m taking advantage of my brother bringing the car to bring things back to school.”

       Chu Feng took Rong Yun’s stuff and put it on the co-pilot seat. Then he sat in the back seat himself before calling Rong Yun into the car. After Rong Yun got on the car, the driver started the car again and drove to school.

       There were three people in the back row. Although it was not crowded, it was not spacious. Chu Feng sat in the middle, separating Rong Yun from Chu Rou. In fact, it should be better for one of them to sit in the co-driver’s seat, but he can’t let Rong Yun and Chu Rou sit alone in the back and  he couldn’t let Chu Rou sit in front, and he can’t sit separately from Rong Yun which resulted in the current arrangement.

       Along the way, Chu Rou spoke to Rong Yun, feeling particularly lively.

       Chu Feng didn’t want Chu Rou to attract too much of Rong Yun’s attention, so he quietly held Rong Yun’s hand where she could not see, and hid behind him.

       There was a layer of pink on Rong Yun’s face, but he didn’t break free and let him hold it obediently.

       When they arrived at the school, the two boys sent Chu Rou to the dormitory downstairs before going to their dormitory. Chu Feng didn’t ask Rong Yun to help get things, only let him take his own bag, and then said goodbye to the driver,  picked up the  bags and went upstairs with Rong Yun.

       They opened the bedroom door. The air in the room was not so good because the window had not been opened for two days. Rong Yun put down his things and opened the window first.  The fresh air came in, which made people feel more comfortable.

       Chu Feng closed the door, and put the things on the table in a regulated state. Gui Heng and Si Xian haven’t returned yet, and they are expected to wait until dinner.

       “What did you bring?” Rong Yun walked over and took a closer look at the big box from Chu Feng, finding it was a quilt.

       “I’ll put this on your bed,” Chu Feng said.

“No, I already have one.” Rong Yun rejected him hurriedly.

       “It’s getting colder, you won’t be able to stand the cold in October with this quilt, you have to change it earlier.” Chu Feng said, washed his hands, then came back and opened the box.

       “I can wear little thicker clothes.” Rong Yun doesn’t change the quilt as often as Chu Feng, but his quilt can still warm him until the heating is turned on in the dorms.

       “This quilt is of better quality, and you don’t need to bring yours from home anymore.” When he packed things for Rong Yun, he didn’t see other quilts in the locker. If he wanted to change, Rong Yun would take it from home now.

       Chu said: “I have a lot of quilts. I don’t need this. I’m just giving it to you.” Chu Feng took the quilt and put it on his own bed.

       Rong Yun’s bed only had a single thin quilt. It is estimated that there is no suitable quilt at home for him to bring. Chu Feng found a set of blue and white doted sheet from his own cabinet. First, he threw the sheets and pillowcases onto Rong Yun’s bed, and then said, “Go wash your hands and help me with this.” This kind of work, if not a little tricky, is very troublesome for the young master who never had to do things like this at home.

       Seeing that Chu Feng is ready to cover the quilt, Rong Yun no longer refused, washed his hands, back and said: ” I’ll do this. It’s too much trouble for you.”

       Rong Yun could no longer tolerate Chu Feng struggling around trying to cover the quilt with a cover so he headed over to do it and got it done in three minutes flat which left Chu Feng dumb struck. He was a little confused to how the task seemed so easy with Rong Yun performing it.

       “You have a good method,” Chu Feng said with a smile.

       “I learned it from my mother.” Rong Yun said.

       Later, Chu Feng helped Rong Yun to change all the pillowcases and sheets. He likes the sense of coordination of a whole set of bedding. This set of sheets was bought during the summer vacation. He brought it to the school after washing, but it has been useless and just happened to be here when  Rong Yun needed it.

       Rong Yun felt soft and sweet as he touched the light and soft quilt. Chu Feng was so meticulous that he had never expected it before, which made him feel that it was a very correct and worthwhile choice to like Chu Feng.

       Chu Feng didn’t know what Rong Yun was thinking, but when he gave Rong Yun a quilt, he suddenly felt that the quilt was very good, soft like Rong Yun’s face.
