Chapter 21 — Holiday

___________________________

After holding for a while, Chu Feng let go of Rong Xun and said, “I won't read today. I'll take you to celebrate the festival.”

“No, you can stay at home with me.” Rong Xun felt that as long as Chu Feng accompanied him, he would be very satisfied.

“Just one day, it won't take much time,” Chu Feng said.

“But…” Rong Xun hesitated. After all, he had to take the exam when he returned from the small and long holiday.

“Listen, I know.” Chu Feng said with a smile, “Go change your clothes and we'll go now.”

Seeing that Chu Feng made a decision and had no objection, Rong Xun got up and went into the room to change his clothes.

Chu Feng sat on the sofa and his heart sank. He finally knew why Rong Xun's family was deserted. Because there was only Rong Xun alone, and lacked the love of his parents, even if he cleaned up, there was a sense of loneliness that couldn't be erased.

He remembered that Rong Xun wrote in his postscript that what he did was only a fuse to trigger Rong Xun's depression. Now it seemed that Rong Xun's depression should have existed for a long time before he directly fell into a collapse. Together without the care of family members after the disease, his condition would only become more and more serious and finally, come to a dead end.

If Rong Xun had the love of his parents and a happy family at that time, even if he had depression, he would always have more ideas of survival. It can also play a positive role in treatment. It was not necessary to rely on writing stories for the sustenance of emotions.

As he thought of this, Chu Feng felt even more hateful. At that moment, he really became the last straw to break Rong Xun. He really knew nothing about Rong Xun's life, what Rong Xun experienced, and what's more, he didn't know Rong Xun's growth environment. Such ignorance and deliberate harm made him really feel that he was an a****le. At this moment, he didn't even have the face to see Rong Xun.

Rong Xun changed his clothes and came out to see Chu Feng sitting there in a daze, “ What’s the matter?”

Seeing him come out, Chu Feng quickly adjusted his mood. He didn't want to affect Rong Xun, “Nothing, I just want to take you somewhere. My father gave me a membership card from Changfeng Guild Hall. Do you want to eat at noon or go at night?”

“All right, I'll listen to you.” Rong Xun smiled.

Chu Feng thought for a moment and said, “Let's go at noon, go shopping in the afternoon, and see a movie.”

“Okay,” Rong Xun nodded. “I haven't seen a movie for a long time.” He couldn't remember when was the last time he saw it.

“Go and check what you want to see later,” Chu Feng said. At this time of year, there were usually many films on the schedule.

“En!” Rong Xun smiled, then took his things and went out with Chu Feng.

Changfeng Guild Hall was located in the center of the city. The location was very good and it was convenient to go anywhere.

Chu Feng first took Rong Xun to buy movie tickets. Rong Xun picked around and chose an action animation film with a good reputation and box office recently. Chu Feng couldn't remember how many years he hadn't seen cartoons. On the one hand, there were too few domestic high-quality animations, which couldn't help but disappoint people after a long time. On the other hand, such animated films generally attract children and might be noisy when watching movies, so Chu Feng basically wouldn't take the initiative to choose it. However, since Rong Xun wanted to see it, he was naturally willing to watch it with him.

After taking the movie tickets, Chu Feng took him to Changfeng Guild Hall. It was lunchtime. There were a lot of people in the guildhall, but there were not enough seats.

After showing the membership card, the waiter took them to the seat at the notice window and brought the menu.

Chu Feng smiled and said, “Just order what you like. It's my father's treat. You're welcome.”

Rong Xun smiled and said, “Don't order too much, just enough to eat.”

“Okay.” Chu Feng knew that Rong Xun's life was still very frugal. The price here was relatively high, but they were basically homemade dishes, and the quantity was appropriate. In fact, it didn't cost much for them to eat a full meal.

The two ordered four dishes, one soup, and two staples. The waiter checked the menu and walked away first.

Rong Xun held a thick glass to drink water and looked out of the window. The dining floor in Changfeng Guild Hall was on the fourth floor. From here, you can see a small part of the street view and the people coming and going, which would make you feel comfortable to rest.

“Do you like it here?” Chu Feng asked when he saw his slightly raised mouth.

“It's sunny here.” Rong Xun said with a smile because they were all French windows, the sun shined in at noon, which felt very bright. The glass was not completely transparent, with a little dark green inside, so it wouldn't dazzle even if it was sunny.

“If you like, we'll come often in the future,” Chu Feng said. His grades should be improved a little this time. It should be possible to ask his father for the membership card here.

Rong Xun looked at him with a smile and didn't speak.

Chu Feng took a few sips of lemonade and said, “My parents are busy and usually don't have much time to take care of me. If we're free at the weekend, let's go together. My parents are more at ease with you.”

Generally, if they didn't go home on weekends, they must stay at school together, but if Rong Xun went home, he would be alone. Chu Feng felt that when his mother went to film, he could go home with Rong Xun so that he could accompany Rong Xun more.

“Okay..” Rong Xun didn't think much. Anyway, they did stay together when they didn't go home.

“You must tell me if you have anything in the future, and tell me if you are unhappy. Don't hold yourself and be uncomfortable.” Chu Feng didn't want to mention depression, so as not to let Xun think too much, but it would be counterproductive. He hoped that he could keep Rong Xun away from negative emotions through the company. As long as Rong Xun was no longer disturbed by negative emotions, it should greatly reduce the possibility of depression.

“En, I see.” Rong Xun nodded. In fact, all along, he felt that the most difficult thing to talk about was the family, especially to Chu Feng. He didn't need Chu Feng to sympathize with him, and speaking of these, he couldn't help feeling sad. But after telling Chu Feng about it today, he also felt a lot easier. He could feel Chu Feng's love for him, but not sympathy, which also made him feel very warm in his heart.

“I'm always worried that you have too much pressure on your studies, which is bad for your health. You can tell me what you want to say in the future, whether you are happy or unhappy.” Chu Feng held Rong Xun's cold hand and said, “I want to hear everything about you. As long as it's what you say, I'll listen carefully. So don't hide anything from me, okay?”

“En!” Rong Xun smiled a genuine smile.

Chu Feng smiled and said, “Of course, you can also have your own little secrets, but only small ones. Big ones can't, you have to tell me.”

Rong Xun pursed the corners of his mouth with a smile and gently pinched Chu Feng's fingers. The pinch made Chu Feng's heart itch, but it was not good to kiss him now.

The dishes were served quickly and the two started to eat.

The dishes here taste very good. Chu Feng often picked dishes for Rong Xun, and Rong Xun's bowl was filled to the brim.

At the end of the meal, Rong Xun looked at Chu Feng with his eyes moistened with hot boiled fish and said, “I can't eat anymore.”

Chu Feng saw that Rong Xun did eat a lot today and said, “Eat the pudding.”

“En.” Rong Xun thought he could still eat pudding.

Chu Feng was busy helping Rong Xun with dishes, but he didn't eat much. When Rong Xun couldn't eat anymore, he took Rong Xun's bowl, poured the rest of the food into his bowl, and ate it together. In fact, Chu Feng never ate what others left, but for Rong Xun, he thought it was nothing.

Chu Feng ate what he had left. Rong Xun always felt very embarrassed when he bit the small spoon for pudding, but there was a faint sweet feeling. It was like being swept by feathers, itchy and soft.

After dinner, Chu Feng took Rong Xun to visit the nearby bookstore building. There were not only complete books and tutoring materials, but also all kinds of stationery, but also many varieties, relatively cheap prices, and good quality, so many students like to visit during their break.

Rong Xun, who entered the bookstore building, was like a small fish swimming into the sea. He felt his pace was light. He soon went to the area where the third senior year tutoring materials. He picked it very seriously and his smile was always at the corners of his mouth.

Looking at Rong Xun in a good mood, Chu Feng thought that when he made more money in the future, he would buy one of the books here for Rong Xun, and then customize a bookcase as big as one wall for Rong Xun to put his books. But now... He could only ask Rong Xun to buy one of the tutoring materials here and take it back…

When he came to Rong Xun, Chu Feng said, “Take it if you want. You can use it.” the money in this regard couldn't be saved.

“There are several new ones here.” Rong Xun pointed them out to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows. “Do you often come to buy?” Rong Xun seemed to be very familiar.

“No,” Rong Xun smiled shyly. “I just came to have a look and understand the question type. It costs a lot of money to buy these counseling materials, and I can't always buy them.” His financial strength didn't allow him to buy tutoring books every week. Generally, Rong Xun would use the remaining money every month to buy these.

Chu Feng touched Rong Xun's hair and directly took two of the books Rong Xun had just pointed out to him. Then he took Rong Xun to the area where all kinds of novels were placed and said, “Take whatever you like. I'll buy these for you in the future. If you want to write novels and articles, you should also read more books and choose by yourself.”

“No…” Rong Xun doesn't mean to ask Chu Feng to pay for him. Besides, Chu Feng wanted to buy him a tutoring book. Most of them, such as novels, were more expensive than tutoring books.

“If you don't go, I'll pick it for you. Don't complain if it's not good-looking at that time.” Chu Feng smiled and pinched Rong Xun's face.

Seeing that Rong Xun still didn't move, Chu Feng simply picked up two copies by himself. As soon as he took two books, Rong Xun stopped him, put back what Chu Feng picked for him, and obediently took two books he liked.

Chu Feng was satisfied. He took him to buy a lot of books and stationery. As a student, they cost money. He always had to buy more and prepare.

When they came out of the book building, Chu Feng had three big bags in his hand.

Naturally, he took Rong Xun's hand and led him across the street. Chu Feng smiled, “There is still a while before the beginning of the film. Let's go to the mall and buy you a schoolbag.”

Rong Xun stared at him, “No... My schoolbag is very good.”

“I bought all the things you used to go to school from inside to outside. It's the best,” Chu Feng said with a smile.

Rong Xun murmured in a low voice, “Then I won't be willing to use…”

Chu Feng, with sharp ears, heard Rong Xun's words clearly and said with a smile, “Let's buy the same school bags and choose a sturdy one. We'll put them away when we graduate from high school. When we get old, we can take them out and recall them together.”

When he was old, he remembered something together. Rong Xun felt a sweetness in his heart.

“Then I'll choose one the I like.” Rong Xun said.

“Okay.” Chu Feng smiled and took his hand into the mall.
