They need to cultivate enough energy.

After buying the schoolbag, the movie was about to begin. Chu Feng put all the tutoring materials, books, and stationery he bought in, then carried them on his back and took Chu Feng to the floor where the cinema was located. Rong Xun's bag was also directly carried on his body, but there were only a few pens in it. Chu Feng was not willing to let him carry too heavy things.

Before the ticket check, Chu Feng bought a bucket of popcorn and two drinks—watching a movie or eating something was more atmospheric, although it was an animation...

After entering the arena, they found their seats and sat down. Chu Feng handed the popcorn to Rong Xun. The movie soon began. Chu Feng didn't move after eating a few popcorns while Rong Xun held a paper bucket and watched while eating. He looked very serious, making Chu Feng embarrassed to disturb him.

Halfway through the movie, Chu Feng's mobile phone vibrated. Chu Feng whispered to Rong Xun and went out to answer the phone.

“Hello, brother?” Chu Feng answered the phone.

“Where are you?” Song Bin's voice came over there.

Chu Feng said, “Watching a movie outside, what's the matter?”

“It just so happens, I am free today. Would it be convenient to have a meal with you?“ Song bin asked him. On the first day of the long holiday, he met Chu Feng at his grandfather's house. He heard that Chu Feng had begun to study hard. He also wanted to talk to Chu Feng, but the time didn't coincide. He had to go to the hospital in the afternoon, so he had to find another time.

“It's convenient, I'm with Rong Xun.” Regarding Rong Xun, he and Song Xin had nothing to hide.

Upon hearing this, Song Bin smiled and said, “That's all right, take him with you.”

“Okay. You decide the place.” Since it was his brother's treat, the place should be decided by his brother.

“Okay, I'll send you an address later,” Song Bin said.

Chu Feng: “En.”

Song Bin didn't say anymore and hung up first.

Chu Feng turned to go back to the cinema, but he stopped after two steps. After thinking for a moment, he called his mother. 

“What's the matter?” Song Xin answered quickly.

“I want to discuss something with you. There is no one in Rong Xun's family. I want to stay at his house for a few days and do my homework with him. In this way, I can ask him questions I don't understand in time.” Chu Feng said.

Song Xin hesitated for a moment and asked, “Will it bring trouble to Rong Xun?” After all, it was not good for her son to disturb others all the time during the holiday.

“No, I know. You know, if it's not really convenient, I don't like to live in someone else's house.” Chu Feng smiled. He really didn't have the habit of staying over in other people's houses, even if he went to Gui Heng's house.

“Yes. That's okay. I'll ask someone to give you some change of clothes.” Song Xin said, “Be more sensible in people's houses, don't bully them, you know?”

“I know, you can rest assured. My brother asked me to have dinner later. When I finish eating here, you can ask the driver to send the clothes. He knows the address of Rong Xun's house.” Chu Feng said.

“Alright, call me after you finish.” Chu Feng took the quilt back to school and picked up Rong Xun on the way that day, and she knew it. There was no problem with Chu Feng having dinner with Song Bin. She liked this nephew very much, usually, she could always receive greeting calls from Song Bin.

“Okay, I'll hang up first.”

“En.”

After hanging up the phone, Chu Feng smiled. Now, Rong Xun really didn't have to spend the holiday alone.

He had guilt, regret, self-blame, heartache, and fondness for Rong Xun. But he knew that these emotions and favors could not reach love, but they seemed to be a bit more than love. It was not that Rong Xun was not good enough, but that love was a very serious thing. He must take it seriously. Only by responding to Rong Xun's pure love could he deserve Rong Xun's deep love for him, so he needed a little more time.

After the movie, Chu Feng told Rong Xun about having dinner in the evening with Song Bin. Rong Xun didn't object, so they went directly to the restaurant booked by Song Bin.

When they arrived, Song Bin had just arrived.

Seeing Rong Xun, Song Bin smiled and said, “I'm relieved to see that you look good.”

Rong Xun smiled at him and said, “Dr. Song took care of me before.”

“I did what I was supposed to do. Sit down,” Song Bin said.

Rong Xun followed Chu Feng to sit opposite Song Bin.

After the three people ordered, Song Bin talked with Chu Feng about studying.

Song Bin was in his third year of high school when he had only formally put his heart to work for a year. Although several years had passed, he still wanted to share some thoughts with Chu Feng. Of course, he also wanted Rong Xun to listen to it, and know what kind of achievements he should achieve at each stage.

The three people talked as they ate and there were no awkward silence moments. Song Bin also cared about Rong Xun's achievements and felt that Rong Xun was much more reliable than Chu Feng.

Chu Feng was afraid that Rong Xun was embarrassed to pick up dishes because Song Bin was there, so he actively gave Rong Xun some dishes and asked him to eat as much as possible.

After eating, Rong Xun and Song Bin also exchanged phone numbers. Song Bin asked him to call him at any time and pay more attention to his health. As a third-year senior student, having a good physical quality was the first thing. As for the relationship between Chu Feng and Rong Xun, he didn't ask much. He could see some things himself, but it was superfluous to ask.

After talking with Song Bin, Chu Feng had more direction for his review. He didn't eat this meal for nothing.

After dinner, Song Bin drove them home. The car drove downstairs to Rong Xun's house, and Chu Feng got out of the car with him.

“Aren't you going home?” Song Bin asked, puzzled. It was not too late, but it was almost time to go back.

Chu Feng smiled and said, “Don't worry about me. The driver will come later. I bought some books today. I'll share them with Rong Xun first.”

“That's it, don't go back too late and disturb Rong Xun's rest.” Song bin didn't think much.

“Got it.” Chu Feng waved at him.

After Song Bin said goodbye to Rong Xun, he drove away first.

They bought a lot of books today. Rong Xun didn't ask much, he just took Chu Feng upstairs.

After entering the door, Chu Feng took advantage of Rong Xun's time to wash his hands and called the house to ask the driver to bring the clothes.

After Rong Xun finished washing, he poured a glass of water for two of them. Chu Feng also went to wash his hands, and then the two began to divide things.

“ I feel like I can't finish so many materials and papers we bought.” In fact, he didn't think it was many when they bought it, but now, there was really a lot.

Rong Xun smiled as he arranged things and said, “It's mainly about picking knowledge points. It's okay to do some questions once, and there's no need to do them again. What's more important is to see several types of questions.”

Since he bought it, he couldn't waste it. Although Chu Feng had a headache, he would do it well.

“That’s right.” Chu Feng said, “If we have nothing to do tomorrow, let's make an appointment with Brother Shen for class? There are still a few days off, about three hours a day.”

“It’s possible.” Rong Xun nodded.

Chu Feng called Shen Shi. The class time was scheduled from 8:30 to 11:30 every morning so that he and Rong Xun could have lunch outside and come back to do memorization in the afternoon without delay.

Not long after Chu Feng finished calling, the driver of his family arrived. Rong Xun was about to get up to see him off. Chu Feng said, “Give me your key.”

Rong Xun: Key?

Chu Feng smiled and said, “I told my family that I won't go back these days, I’ll live with you.”

Rong Xun looked at him foolishly, as if he didn't know how to react at all.

Chu Feng smiled and asked him again where the key was. Rong Xun pointed to the drawer on the shoe cabinet, Chu Feng opened it, took the key, and went downstairs.

When Chu Feng came back with two large paper bags, he saw Rong Xun standing in place foolishly.

But when he saw him, his eyes seemed to brighten a little, but his eyes were cautious. He seemed afraid that Chu Feng would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Chu Feng put things on the coffee table with a smile, then hugged Rong Xun from behind and said, “Hurry up.”

Rong Xun looked up at Chu Feng as if he had been released from the spell. “Do you really want to live here?”

Chu Feng said with a smile, “I've brought my change of clothes. What do you say? Or you don't want me to live here?”

“No,” Rong Xun said quickly, “I... I'm very happy.”

“I'm also very happy.” Chu Feng's smile deepened, “But I didn't bring a towel and toothbrush. Do you have one? No, I’m going to the supermarket to buy it.”

“Both.” Rong Xun nodded.

“Okay, after taking a shower, let's do our homework together.” The teacher gave them a lot of papers during the holiday, but Chu Feng hadn't finished yet.

“En.” Rong Xun smiled so much, his eyes were crescent-like, and looked very cute.

In the next few days, Chu Feng stayed at Rong Xun's house. They went to Shen Shi for class in the morning and had lunch outside at noon. When they come back, they would go to the market to buy some ingredients at home. In the afternoon, two people would drink a cup of coffee to refresh themselves and then work together on questions. The dinner was cooked by Rong Xun. It didn't need to be too complicated, as long as they could eat enough. After dinner, Chu Feng would take Rong Xun out for a walk. When they come back, they would take a bath respectively, and then continue to memorize and write questions, and go to bed when it was time.

Chu Feng had adapted to such regular work and rest. His learning achievements in recent days were also good. Rong Xun also praised him for his progress.

On the last night of the holiday, the advertisement made by Chu Feng was broadcast in the prime time of major TV stations. At that time, Chu Feng was reciting history books. Chu Rou called to tell him because the advertisement was interspersed in the middle of the TV series, Chu Feng calculated the time of the next broadcast, turned on the TV, turned it to silent, and continued to recite his books.

Rong Xun came out after taking a bath and asked him, “Why don't you turn on the sound?”

“I am not going to watch TV dramas, waiting for advertisements. Chu Rou just called and said that the advertisement I filmed was on the broadcast. Take a look at it.” Chu Feng said.

The follow-up communication of the advertisement was done by his mother. When the advertisement started, Director You must have told his mother. His mother probably didn't mention it to him because she was afraid of affecting his studies. Anyway, he never asked again, as if he didn't care.

“Really? That's what I want to see.” Rong Xun wiped his hair, went to the study, took out his textbook, and then sat on the sofa, watching and waiting for the advertisement.

Chu Feng sat next to him, watching and waiting with him. They had to get up early tomorrow to go to school. They also had to go to bed early today, so they could have a good spirit tomorrow.

After an episode of a TV series with no sound at all, Rong Xun turned on the volume and waited carefully. Not long after, Chu Feng's face appeared on TV.

The fresh advertising style and vibrant campus life were full of youthful vitality everywhere. Chu Feng's handsome and sunny image brightened people's eyes, and his smile was particularly charming. Compared with other advertisements in the same period, this beverage advertisement really impressed people. No matter the content or style, it made people feel it was very natural and comfortable.

The advertisement in less than a minute passed quickly. Rong Xun smiled at Chu Feng and said, “Very handsome!” 

Chu Feng kissed him, turned off the TV, and said, “If you were to film this advertisement, even if you were only given a shot of sitting there drinking, I would buy it.”

“There are advertisements like that…” Rong Xun said with a smile, “Let's buy two bottles to drink tomorrow. I feel like drinking it.”

The box that Chu Feng brought back to his bedroom had all three flavors. The four of them shared them equally and drank them all before the holiday.

“I'll set the alarm clock later. Let's go out early and go to the classroom after buying breakfast.” Chu Feng said. Originally, they could go back to their dorm tonight, but they had nothing to bring to their dorm. They simply stayed at home for one more night and went directly to school tomorrow.

“En.” Rong Xun nodded.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Rong Xun sorted out his newly bought school bag and was ready to go to rest. There was an exam tomorrow, they had to raise their spirits.
