Chapter 26 — Bad Temper
Chu Rou was hurt by his decision.
__________________
Art students had extra classes every evening on Friday. After class, Gui Heng followed several art students to wash brushes and water canisters, and was ready to pack up and go to Si Xian.
When Gui Heng just joined the tutorial class, he was very unpopular with the students. After all, no one liked their environment with one more student who liked to fight and make trouble. However, after several times of contact, they found that Gui Heng seemed to be a lot more honest. He wouldn't provoke the students in the class or disturb them. There was no difference between more and less in the class. In addition, Gui Heng's painting was really good.
Although he didn't paint smoothly in some places, his basic skills are good, probably because he hadn't painted for a long time. Slowly, the students in the class began to accept him, unlike before they didn't even want to talk to him.
After washing the brushes, Gui Heng was ready to go to the classroom but was stopped. Looking back, it was Dou Meng…...
In fact, Gui Heng hadn't seen Dou Meng for a long time. After that, he avoided Dou Meng for a while. He didn't know whether Dou Meng was the same. Anyway, they hadn't met at that time. Later, he slowly put it down and didn't care if he would meet again, but in his impression, he didn't seem to see Dou Meng several times, and each time he just glanced at her from a distance.
“Something?” Talking to Dou Meng so close again, Gui Heng felt that his mood had been completely calm.
“I heard you started painting again?” Dou Meng showed a calm smile with a very natural expression, as if she talked with Gui Heng yesterday.
“En.” Gui Heng nodded. Dou Meng knew that he could draw. He once spent two days drawing a portrait of Dou Meng.
Dou Meng smiled and looked at him. “That’s good. I thought you were actually very suitable for painting.”
“Really?” Gui Heng seemed to have no topic to talk to Dou Meng, so he directly asked, “What else?”
“I'm ready to go back to my dorm, too. Shall we go together?” asked Dou Meng, with some expectation in her eyes.
“No, I'm going to find Si Xian,” Gui Heng said. He had an appointment with Si Xian. They wouldn't go home this week. Si Xian was studying in the library at night, and he would go to Si Xian after class. They happened to go back to the dorm together.
“En.” Dou Meng was actually a little afraid of Si Xian. When she was good with Gui Heng, Si Xian had a cold attitude towards him, just like being able to see through her bones, not to mention later.
“If there’s nothing else, I'll go first.” Gui Heng turned and walked to the classroom.
“Ah, wait a minute, I have something to do.” Dou Meng hurriedly called him.
Dou Meng hesitated and said, “Huina really likes Chu Feng. Do you think you can help to tell Chu Feng and ask him to think about Huina? Huina is beautiful and nice. As long as Chu Feng gets along with her for a few days, she will certainly like her. I know that you and I have broken up, but I hope it won't affect Chu Feng's impression of Huina. So can you help Huina?”
Gui Heng looked at Dou Meng and was silent for a moment. He said, “Chu Feng made it very clear to Qi Huina that day. Chu Feng really likes a person and won't change because of the things around him. Since he said that, he is really not interested in Qi Huina. It has nothing to do with you and me.”
“How is that possible. It doesn’t matter.” Dou Meng was obviously stubborn. “Even if he likes Huina, he will certainly consider your feelings. After all, you are good brothers."
Gui Heng smiled, “You don't know Chu Feng. If I don’t like the person he likes, he will try to make me like the other, rather than refuse directly.”
“But Huina is so good that Chu Feng has no reason not to like her.” Dou Meng frowned.
Gui Heng shrugged, “Chu Feng's preferences are beyond the control of others. Besides, you have too much confidence in Qi Huina. Qi Huina is really beautiful in school, but it's not enough to see it outside. If you have time to tell me this, you might as well go back and persuade Qi Huina to give up as soon as possible.” With that, Gui Heng turned and left. Now Dou Meng was completely different from the one he fell in love with at first sight, but he didn't know whether Dou Meng had changed or whether he had never seen her clearly. But anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
Dou Meng stared at the background of Gui Heng's departure and didn't leave for a long time.
Chu Feng went out to see his father after class today. The contract given to him by the company had been drawn up. He wanted to go and sign the contract. His father was busy on weekends, so he could only catch on Friday night. Chu Feng had to reluctantly let Rong Xun be alone at school, but he still had to go back to school after signing. Tomorrow they agreed to have dinner together to celebrate his good grades in the exam. The only thing that changed was that there would be Chu Rou tomorrow. Since the matter of Chu Rou had been decided to be solved, the sooner it was done, the better.
This dinner tonight, in addition to Chu Tang, Chu Feng's new agent also came.
The agent arranged by his father was named Bai Fei. He looked very gentle, he was young and looked very gentleman with a pair of glasses. Although Bai Fei was not known yet, Chu Feng knew him. When he entered the circle in his last life, Bai Fei was already a gold medal agent. He had brought out two or three movie stars. He was an agent with both ability and courage, and his contacts were also very strong. Chu Feng really didn't expect that his father would arrange Bai Fei for him, but it was not biased against him. After all, Bai Fei was still just a small agent, and others wouldn't say anything.
“'ll trouble Brother Bai later.” Chu Feng smiled.
“It should be. If young master Chu wants to develop in the entertainment industry in the future, it's also good to plan as soon as possible.” Bai Fei had always been a very organized person. Although Chu Feng helped shoot the advertisement out of family relations, the effect was very good and his acting skills were very natural. When Bai Fei saw the advertisement, he felt that Chu Feng had a potential and inherited it from Song Xin. So when the boss talked to him about taking over Chu Feng, he agreed without hesitation.
“Brother Bai, just call my name. I'm still a newcomer now. I have to trouble you if I don't understand.” Chu Feng said. Even if he was not a newbie, he would pretend to be a new talent and shed the rebellion of the previous life. Chu Feng felt that he still needed to work harder in interpersonal relations. For nothing else, he could take advantage of Ba Fei's contacts. If Rong Xun wanted to write a script in the future, he could find a way for Rong Xun through Ba Fei.
“It should be.” Bai Fei smiled and nodded.
Chu Tang looked at his sensible son and felt that Chu Feng had indeed grown up, which brightened him up.
Seeing that Chu Feng and Bai Fei had finished talking, Chu Tang said, “Your grades are good this time. If you want anything, dad will buy it for you.”
Chu Feng smiled and said, “Give me the membership card of Changfeng Guild Hall. The food there tastes good.”
There was no reason Chu Tang would be dissatisfied with this. He nodded and said, “Okay, tell me when the money on the card is used up and I'll charge you.”
“Okay.” Chu Feng smiled. In this way, when Rong Xun wants to eat, he can take him at any time.
After dinner, Chu Feng had to go back to school, so he left and did not stay for long. Originally, his father wanted to send him off, but Chu Feng wanted to buy Rong Xun some snacks to take back, so he refused.
After entering the campus, Chu Feng glanced at the time and didn't know Rong Xun had written today. Si Xian went to the self-study this evening. Gui Heng had a counseling class. He was not at school. He originally wanted Rong Xun to go to the self-study with Si Xian, but Rong Xun said that he wanted to write a novel for a while, and he wouldn't go to self-study. Chu Feng thought about tomorrow was the weekend and didn't object, so he simply let go.
“Chu Feng!” When he was walking towards the downstairs of the dorm, Qi Huina stood up from the bench on one side and stopped in front of him.
Chu Feng frowned and asked, “Is something the matter?”
“I asked Rong Xun that day, and he said you didn't like anyone at all!” Qi Huina stared at him with big eyes and said with an expression of “I've seen through you”.
Chu Feng treated her as if she didn't exist at all.
“But Rong Xun is also stingy. I asked him to send me a love letter, and he refused. Why do you make friends with such a stingy person?” Qi Huina complained, her tone as if she was already Chu Feng's girlfriend.
“What about Rong Xun? I don't need your evaluation.” Chu Feng said coldly.
“I'm also doing it for you. Haven't you heard the rumor of Rong Xun?” Qi Huina's voice was louder.
Chu Feng stopped and looked at Qi Huina with no temperature in his eyes.
Qi Huina thought Chu Feng really didn't know, and said with a smile, “At the beginning of school, everyone was saying that Rong Xun was a homosexual. Are you not disgusted? I don't know how he made friends with you, but he must have bad intentions. You should be careful. In my opinion, you'd better stay away from him. You always play with him. Maybe after a while, you'll be gossiped to be homosexual.”
“Are you stupid?” Chu Feng's eyes could not wait to strangle Qi Huina. He had learned to restrain his temper and irritability in front of Rong Xun, friends and family, but this did not mean that he had no temper, nor did it mean that he would show a good temper to everyone, “It's all made out of nothing, full of lies, spreading of false information, and feels good about themselves. Is your brain decorated? You're not qualified to mention Rong Xun to me. Next time, you give it a try.”
With that, Chu Feng turned and left. He didn't beat women, but if Qi Huina said Rong Xun's bad, he really couldn't guarantee that he could abide by this principle.
Qi Huina looked at Chu Feng walking away with a red face and suddenly felt very wronged. Rong Xun might have told Chu Feng their conversation that day, and must have added fuel and vinegar. He said a lot of bad things about her, which made Chu Feng have such a bad impression on her. This also made her hate Rong Xun even more. When it was reported that Rong Xun was gay, she thought Rong Xun was disgusting, but she never expected that Chu Feng would become friends with Rong Xun.
With a resentful stomp, Qi Huina turned angrily and walked to her dorm building, scolding Rong Xun in a low voice. In the eyes of passers-by, her current state looked like she was crazy……
When Chu Feng entered the door, Gui Heng just came out after taking a bath. Seeing that he came back with a lot of things, he immediately came up and wanted to walk along.
Chu Feng didn't bother him either. He just took out the pudding specially bought for Rong Xun, put it on his desk and said, “Go to bed early after dinner and go out tomorrow.”
“En.” Rong Xun looked at the yellow soft pudding, smiled and nodded, and then asked, “Did it go well?”
“En, it went well. What about you? Did you write well?” Chu Feng asked.
“En, I wrote more than 3000.” He was now used to directly using the laptop to encode words.
“That's good. I'll take a bath first,” Chu Feng said.
“Let’s go.” Rong Xun was going to go to bed after finishing the pudding and writing for a while. His homework was reserved for the next two days.
Si Xian and Gui Heng knew about Rong Xun’s novels. Sometimes after reading what Rong Xun wrote, they need to expand their imagination and use their brain for the story completely. Although those imaginations had been completely separated from the storyline itself and couldn't be used at all, they still provided topics other than homework for them to communicate more frequently.

On Saturday morning, Chu Feng and Rong Xun changed their clothes and called Chu Rou. The three then went to a self-service hot pot shop in the city center.
It was cold, and eating hot pot was naturally the best choice. This store was recommended by Chu Rou, the price was not expensive and there were many kinds. She also heard from her classmates that it was very good before she gave it a try. She also knew that today was Rong Xun's treat, so she was very sensible and didn't choose expensive places.
They arrived at the right time. At the beginning of lunch, there were not many people. The waiter found a good place for them. It was relatively quiet, suitable for chatting, and not too far from the place where the food was placed.
Here were single person pots, and the soup bottom could be selected according to the preferences. Chu Rou was obviously experienced, after putting down his bag and coat, she took Chu Feng to get food. Now there were few people and things were basically not passive. They could get relatively clean and complete food, such as fruits. The existing parts were still relatively good, and there would be no corners left. Rong Xun was arranged to sit in his seat and look at things. He was the most relaxed of the three.
When the soup was all brought up, the food brought back by Chu Feng and Chu Rou had filled most of the table. Chu Feng knew what Rong Xun liked to eat, so he didn't have to let Rong Xun take it again.
“Almost, let's eat first.” When Chu Feng came back with several plates of meat, Rong Xun called out to him. If they take food again, their table would not be enough.
Chu Rou looked at the fresh fruit, salad and fried vegetables and said with a smile, “Okay, eat first.”
Chu Feng nodded and sat back beside Rong Xun, then the three people began to eat.
The taste of this shop was really good and the food was fresh. The three people had a good time. Chu Feng moved Rong Xun's favorite things to him from time to time. He also picked the cooked ones in Rong Xun's pot to him when the things in Rong Xun's small pot were not boiling. He didn't avoid Chu Rou's eyes at all.
Chu Rou didn't care much at first, but her heart couldn't help tightening a few more times, but on the surface, she was still very calm and didn't say much.
When the three people were almost full and were about to eat desserts, Chu Feng said, “Xiao Rou, I want to tell you something today.”
Chu Rou's intuition was telling her that it might be something she didn't want to hear, but she still waited for Chu Feng to say it.
Chu Feng held Rong Xun's hand, put it on the table, and said solemnly, “Xiao Rou, Rong Xun and I are in a relationship. I hope to get your support.”
Chu Rou’s hands shook and knocked down the empty cup in front of her, and her face turned pale.
Chu Feng knew that his decision still hurted Chu Rou, but there was no other way. Long term pain was better than short term pain. The best way was to talk to Chu Rou directly.
“I’m sorry.” Chu Rou's hands shook, picked up the cup in front of her, got up and said, “I'll go to the bathroom.” Then she got up and left quickly.
Chu Feng wanted to chase her, but Rong Xun stopped him and said, “I'll go.”
When he finished speaking, he got up and followed him.
The author has something to say:
[small theater]
Chu Rou: The baby is too sad. The baby fell down, and needed Senior Rong Xun to get up.
Chu Feng: …...Then continue to lie on the ground.
Rong Xun: ……
