Chapter 3 — Confession

Part 2
_________________________


Chu Feng pulled the pillow over, propped up Rong Xun's head so that he could lie on it and be more comfortable. After a moment of silence, he replied: “Rong Xun, I like you.”

Rong Xun froze for a moment, he also forgot to shed tears. He stared at Chu Feng with watery eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.

Did he like Rong Xun? This answer was very clear in Chu Feng's heart, he did not hate Rong Xun. He felt sorry for Rong Xun and wanted to protect him... but it wasn’t love. His liking was merely just liking, not love. Even if he had been moved by Rong Xun's feelings for him and repented, he still couldn't lie to himself, it was not love, at least not now.

The reason he said that was to find a reasonable excuse for what happened today. In his last life, this incident became the trigger of Rong Xun's depression. He could not let this happen again. He was destined to compensate Rong Xun in this life, so even if it was not love, he would never leave Rong Xun. This was his self-redemption and he truly wanted to make up for Rong Xun.

“Really...really?” Rong Xun looked at him, a little silly.

“En, how else would I have done such a thing to you?” Chu Feng tried his best to soften his tone and said, “I’m sorry, I know that I have hurt you in the worst way possible and I will be responsible. I had some arguments with my dad today and I had a bad temper. I saw you disheveled like that; I couldn't hold it in for a moment... I'm sorry…”

“You were like that today... I was scared…” Rong Xun's tears came out again.

If it was someone else crying like this in front of him, Chu Feng would have been impatient. But the other party was Rong Xun, and Chu Feng didn’t feel annoyed at all. Through Rong Xun's words, Chu Feng could see that he was a very delicate person. In addition, when he encountered this kind of thing today, shouldn't Rong Xun vent a bit? In fact, the best way was to let out your emotions by venting, it was easier to cause problems if you held it in.

“It's my fault. I won't do it again.” Chu Feng pulled the quilt and covered Rong Xun. Although Rong Xun was wearing a hospital gown, it was cold at night, so not covering with a quilt would not do. “You trust me one more time. Okay?”

Rong Xun grabbed his sleeve and nodded his head lightly. This made Chu Feng feel even more sad. Rong Xun was such a kind person, yet he had caused so much suffering. His guilt did not lessen because of Rong Xun's trust, instead it became heavier.

When Rong Xun's emotions calmed down, Chu Feng went to wring a hot towel for him and wiped his face. The bruises on the corners of his mouth and forehead were very eye-catching. Chu Feng also eased his movements to try not to make him feel pain.

After wiping Rong Xun, Chu Feng said, “You have a fever. You have to stay in the hospital for two days, you can only go back after your fever has gone down. You have to eat a lighter diet and nourish your body recently. Are you hungry? I bought you some porridge , do you want some?”

Rong Xun shook his head, he didn't really have an appetite right now.

Chu Feng thought for a while, Rong Xun didn't eat dinner and it would not be good for his stomach if he did not eat anything, so he said, “Can you eat a few bites? You can only get better faster when you have strength.”

Rong Xun looked at Chu Feng's concerned eyes and finally nodded.

Chu Feng smiled and helped him up, and then set up a pillow for him to lean on more comfortably. Then he went to the coffee table to get a thermos cup for porridge and side dishes.

Chu Feng had accompanied his mother to this porridge shop a few times, but he had no interest in porridge and couldn't remember this shop. Rong Xun needed to eat lightly and be nutritious. Chu Feng thought of this one, which happened to be in the city centre. He bought it along the way and ordered a two-day delivery. Although the price of this shop was higher, the service was very good. The thermos cup like this was also available in the shop, but the money had to be paid separately.

He poured the porridge into the small bowl that came with it, Chu Feng stirred gently with a spoon. The porridge was still hot, so it was not easy to eat. Chu Feng chose the store’s signature multi-grain porridge, which was made from more than a dozen grains, which was rich in nutrients and very tasty3.

When the porridge had cooled a little, Chu Feng took a spoonful and fed it to Rong Xun's mouth. 

Rong Xun looked at Chu Feng with a little embarrassment.

Chu Feng smiled and said, “Let's eat.”

Only then did Rong Xun open his mouth and eat the porridge that Chu Feng fed him.

While Chu Feng fed Rong Xun porridge, sometimes he would add some side dishes. These side dishes were exquisite, taste good, and very appetizing. After Rong Xun ate a bowl of porridge with side dishes, he shook his head and didn’t want to eat anymore.

Seeing that he was a little tired, Chu Feng carried the IV drip bag, helped Rong Xun to go relieve4 himself, rinsed his mouth, and then helped him lie back on the bed, carefully covered him with a quilt and said, “Go to sleep, I will guard you here.”

“En.” Rong Xun looked at Chu Feng with an indescribable feeling in his eyes.

When Chu Feng helped him unzip his trousers just now, Rong Xun was very embarrassed, but in the end, he still couldn't beat his physical needs, so he could only solve it with a red face in front of Chu Feng.

Chu Feng looked at him and said, “If you feel uncomfortable at night, call me.”

“Okay.” Rong Xun nodded obediently, then closed his eyes. There are so many things that happened today, and he needed a little time to digest them properly.

Chu Feng guarded Rong Xun and drank the rest of the porridge at the same time. He didn't eat dinner either. In fact, he was already a little hungry. After he finished eating, he put the thermos barrel back on the coffee table, and his mobile phone rang. Chu Feng was afraid of waking Rong Xun who had just fallen asleep, so he quickly pressed it off. The missed call notification displayed Gui Heng's name.

Chu Feng glanced at Rong Xun, making sure that he hadn't been woken up. Then he went to the door gently and called Gui Heng back.



The author has something to say:

Stupid Chu Xiaofeng, don't think if you confess Rong Xiaoxun will forgive you, you have to be nice to him!
