Chapter 2 — Repent
Part 1
_________________________
There was no one else in the dormitory. Chu Feng instinctively turned around to look for his mobile phone and he saw the clock he had just replaced at the beginning of the school year by the wall. He couldn't wait to take the phone and press it. The screen lit up, showing the time and date—September 12, Friday, 8:29 PM.
—He really went back to ten years ago, back to the time when third year in high school just started.
Amidst his thoughts of surprise and confusion, the word “Rong Xun” was squeezed out abruptly, causing Chu Feng's heart to chill.
He couldn't remember the specific time when he forced Rong Xun. He only remembered that it wasn’t long after school started, it was also a Friday...
At this time, the door of the bedroom was opened from the outside and Gui Heng walked in with an unhappy face and put the things he was carrying on the table. His white printed shirt was spilled on and dirty.
Now, Gui Heng's face still had childishness and he looked like a child who hadn't grown up yet. There was a big difference in temperament from the romantic and extremely short-sighted Gui Heng ten years later but the expression of dissatisfaction was exactly the same.
Seeing Chu Feng sitting on the bed, Gui Heng unexpectedly asked, “Are you asleep?” Gui Heng didn't go home this week. After having dinner with his classmates, he came back and brought some for Chu Feng.
“Yeah.” Chu Feng answered vaguely and asked, “What's wrong with your clothes?”
"Don't mention it." Gui Heng took off the T-shirt directly and threw it into the trash could. “When I was eating spicy hotpot, the soup accidentally spilled on my body. Such a waste of my clothes.”
Such familiar dialogue awakened Chu Feng's memory— which he originally thought was already rusty.
After he forced Rong Xun, he returned to the dormitory and felt tired, so he took a shower and went to bed for a nap. Then he woke up when Gui Heng came back, soup was spilled on his shirt. Gui Heng was not a person who could wash clothes by himself so he threw it away.
The reason why he remembered this scene was because the two of them bought this shirt together and he also had one. After Gui Heng's own shirt was thrown away, he took Chu Feng’s shirt and put it on, saying that it was comfortable to wear. He didn't lack a shirt so he simply gave it away.
After sorting out his memory, Chu Feng didn’t dare to delay for a moment. He immediately jumped out of bed, took a long windbreaker from the closet and ran out.
Gui Heng chased after him after a few steps and yelled, “Hey, where are you going in the middle of the night? Hey, Chu Feng!”
Chu Feng had no time to answer him. He left the dormitory and ran directly to the study building1.
The school would open the study room for students who want to study on their own until 9 pm. Chu Feng ran into the study building at this time and no one noticed, let alone stop him.
From his memory, Chu Feng quietly walked up the stairwell, his strong beating heart made him a little nervous and anxious–he didn't know if Rong Xun was still there, or whether his sudden appearance would scare Rong Xun.
The lights on this side stairway weren’t turned and he couldn’t see clearly in the dim light. Chu Feng had to turn on his mobile phone to illuminate him. When he turned the corner of the stairs, his heart jumped a little—a thin figure huddled in the corner, his body naked, his face buried in the crook of his arm, he just leaned there quietly as if he had no breath. The shirts, trousers, and underwear were scattered on the ground... These were almost like scraps and there was no way to wear them.
Chu Feng's fingers seemed to still have the sensation of when he stripped them off his body at that time and his heart pained.
Walking over gently, Chu Feng knelt in front of Rong Xun and whispered softly to him, “Rong Xun?”
Rong Xun didn't respond in the slightest, as if he hadn't heard it at all.
Chu Feng called him twice but Rong Xun still shrank there, without moving.
Chu Feng frowned, felt something was wrong, he reached out his hand and touched Rong Xun's arm, which was ice-cold...
