Rebirth and Redemption

In the afternoon, Rong Hong had been doing his homework while waiting for Chu Feng to come back. During the period, he would look up at the time from time to time, always feeling that the time was going a little slowly.

Although Chu Feng said that he could call at any time, but thinking that it was Chu Feng's first commercial shoot, he might be nervous. If the timing of his call was wrong, it would affect Chu Feng instead.

After finishing the English paper, the sun has already started to set.At this time, Rong Hong's cell phone rang, and it was his mother calling.

Rong Hong quickly picked it up and called "Mom" with a smile.

"Have you been home this week?" Rong Hong's mother Rui Si asked.

Rong Hong replied: "No, I stayed at school."

"Is the living expenses enough?" Reith asked again.

"Enough." Because Chu Feng basically paid for his expenses this month, he had a lot left.

"Then I'll pay you living expenses next week." Rui Si said.

"Okay." Rong Hong replied with a smile.

Although he was smiling, there was always a touch of loneliness in Rong Hong's eyes, it seemed that he was not really happy, but he couldn't be unhappy.

Rong Hong's parents divorced when he was in his second year of junior high because his father cheated.After the divorce, his father married Xiaosan. Xiaosan didn't want to live with Rong Hong, so he urged his father to give up the custody of Rong Hong. Anyway, they will have their own children in the future.Hearing Xiaosan's words, his father only left the old house to Rong Hong, and would give Rong Hong his living expenses on time every month, but he didn't care about the rest, he just called Rong Hong every year and festival .

One year after the divorce, Rui Si also found her second spring.But Rong Hong's stepfather didn't want Rong Hong to live with them either. Although Rong Hong was a little sad, he didn't want to delay his mother. After all, her mother was still young at that time, and it was impossible for her to be single for a lifetime.So the mother moved to her stepfather after marriage, while Rong Hong stayed in the old house by himself.Rui Si will also pay him living expenses on time every month, and she will also pay for the tuition fees. She can also call Rong Hong once a week to ask him how he is doing, but she can't do more.

Last year, his mother gave birth to a younger brother, so she didn't have time to take care of him. It's good enough to call once a month.

It may be that he lost the love of his parents prematurely, so Rong Hong longed for family affection, but he was very sensible and knew that his stepfather and stepmother didn't like him, so he would not take the initiative to call his parents.If his parents call him, he will be very happy, but besides being happy, he can't help but feel a little sad.

In order to make his parents like him, Rong Xun always behaved well, studied hard, and tried his best to be a good boy.He kept thinking that if he did well and his parents were happy, maybe one day he would take him back to take care of him...

But as he grew up, he knew that his idea was impossible to realize.But he still wants to be a good boy, even if he can't live with his parents, he still wants to make his parents happy, because if his parents don't like him, he might not even be able to make phone calls...

"I'll call you more this month. It's getting cold, so you should add two more clothes. Let me know when you have time to go out on your own and don't have enough money." Rui Si said.For Rong Hong, she actually felt a little guilty, but now that her youngest son occupied all her energy, her guilt was much lessened by the tiredness of taking care of the child.

"Okay." Rong Hong responded.Every year when the seasons change, his mother will give him money to buy clothes, and his father will also send some more money. Although he didn't say anything, Rong Hong also understands that it is for him to buy clothes, but they will not accompany Rong Hong. Rong Hong could only go shopping by himself.

In fact, the living expenses given by his parents are only enough for him to eat and buy stationery. After entering high school, he needs to buy more and more tutoring materials every year, and the cost is also increasing.Rong Hong dare not ask for more from his parents. After all, his parents are just ordinary working-class people. He is afraid that if he asks for too much, his parents will be unhappy, so he may save a little by himself, like his parents buy him clothes every season. He will save the budget and spread it to each month, so that he basically has the money to buy tutoring materials.In addition, he submits articles to magazines every month and can earn some pocket money, so he can still maintain his monthly expenses after all.

"Are you busy studying in the third year of high school? You should pay more attention to rest yourself, don't work too hard." Rui Si said.

Just as Rong Hong wanted to reply to her "it's okay", a child's cry came from over there.

Rui Si didn't care about Rong Hong either, she said "Your brother is crying, I'll go and see first", and hung up the phone directly.

Rong Hong swallowed the words again, looked at the hung up phone, and silently put the phone back on the table.His mother's actions made him a little sad, but he couldn't argue with a younger brother who couldn't even speak.I can only comfort myself - as long as I study hard and make my mother happy.

When Chu Feng entered, he saw Rong Hong sitting there in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Chu Feng put down the box of drinks and asked, "Who upset you?"

Seeing that Chu Feng was back, Rong Hong hurriedly collected his emotions, and said with a smile, "No, I'm just tired from writing papers, so take a rest."

Chu Feng had an intuition that Rong Hong was not telling the truth, but he didn't ask.Not many students stayed at school on weekends, and Rong Hong stayed in the dormitory by himself, so the chances of his classmates making him unhappy were very small.And since he was not at school all day, it was even less likely that he would offend Rong Hong, so the rest might be Rong Hong's personal reasons.In this regard, Chu Feng respected Rong Hong's privacy, and Rong Hong didn't want to talk about it, so he wouldn't ask too much.All he has to do is to make Rong Hong happy, which is much more practical than others.

"Change your clothes, I'll take you out to dinner." Chu Feng said.

"Okay." Rong Hong got up and opened the closet to find clothes.

Chu Feng walked over to help him choose, then took the clothes in his hand and began to help him change.This is not the first time that Chu Feng helped him change clothes, but Rong Hong still felt his face was hot.

In order to distract attention, Rong Hong glanced at a big box that Chu Feng brought back, and asked, "What is that?"

"The director gave me a box of drinks for this endorsement. The taste is not bad, you can try it when you come back tonight." Chu Feng said.

Rong Hong nodded and said, "Okay."

After changing his clothes, Chu Feng took Rong Xun out.The car that picked up Chu Feng had been waiting for them downstairs. After getting in the car, Chu Feng told them where to go, and the driver started the car and took them there.

Chu Feng chose a pizza restaurant, which opened not long ago, and the evaluation is very good. He heard what Kitty said during lunch today, so he decided to bring Rong Hong here for a change. After all, he was tired of school food after a week. , Change to a different one, reward Rong Hong and yourself.

Before the dining peak, the store was very empty, so Chu Feng took Rong Hong to sit by the window.

Chu Feng ordered the special pizza here, and ordered a fried shrimp and a salad, and ordered freshly squeezed juice for drinks to supplement Rong Hong's vitamins.Rong Hong added another portion of baked mashed potatoes, reckoning that the portion would be enough for two people, so he didn't add anything else.

Snacks and drinks were served quickly, and the two chatted while eating.

"Did the filming go well today?" Rong Hong asked.

"It's okay, the main thing is not difficult, the director doesn't have high requirements on me, so the process is not tangled." Chu Feng said: "I will take you to watch it when I have a chance in the future."

"En." Rong Hong nodded with a smile, and asked him with concern: "What did you have for lunch?"

"Lunch box. Everyone eats this." Box lunch is actually the standard equipment for all film crews. Generally, the better-paid group can choose their own box lunch dishes, and the lower budget is a unified dish. The whole group eats the same.Like the kind of actor and actress, sometimes they bring their own meals.The newcomers may not be particularly popular, but anyone with a bit of brains will choose to have lunch with the film crew.You must know that lunch is the best time to connect with each other. It is good for the shooting and future development to mingle with the people in the group. After all, things like interpersonal relationships are accumulated little by little.

"Is it delicious?" Rong Xun has never eaten boxed lunches since he was a child, but only watched others eat them. He also knows that the grades of boxed lunches are also uneven. Some feel the same as eating at home, or even better, while others are not. Really just to fill the stomach.

"It's almost the same as our canteen," Chu Feng said.In fact, the box lunch that Director You chose this time is not bad, and the taste is quite satisfactory.

Rong Hong thought about it, and felt that he had eaten too much in the small canteen, as if he didn't quite remember the taste of lunch and dinner in the big canteen.

When the pizza was brought up, Chu Feng immediately served him a piece, "Eat it while it's hot."

"Yeah." Looking at the tempting cheese, Rong Hong's appetite was completely whetted.

The signature pizza here is a bit different from the general pizza in terms of shape. It looks like a pie with all the ingredients inside. The skin is very thin and the fillings are very filling. It doesn’t really give people a feeling of eating. pie feeling.The point is that the taste is very good, which makes people feel that it is worth the trip.

This pizza seems to be only a standard size, but because it is full of ingredients, at the end of the meal, both of them were a little full.

After paying the bill, Chu Feng took Rong Hong to eat while shopping. Pizza shops are located in shopping malls, so it is very convenient to go shopping after eating.

It's not winter yet, but the winter clothes are already on the shelves.It was still early, and Chu Feng took Rong Hong to look around from room to room.Rong Hong originally thought that Chu Feng wanted to buy clothes for himself, but when he saw that Chu Feng would compare himself to him every time he took a piece of clothing, he realized that Chu Feng seemed to be buying for him.

"Just look at your own, don't worry about mine." Rong Hong said.The clothes in these stores are not cheap, but the styles are really good.

"I want to buy it for you." Chu Feng took another sweater and compared it to Rong Hong.

"No need. My mother called me today and said she would give me money to buy clothes next week." Rong Hong said.

"Huh? When did you call?" Chu Feng hung up the sweater and took another one.

"Just before you come back." Rong Hong said: "So you don't have to buy it for me, I will buy it myself. Just help me choose."

Hearing what he said, Chu Feng felt that he was right in guessing that Rong Hong was unhappy because of personal reasons, and it was probably a family matter.As for the situation of Rong Hong's family, Chu Feng didn't know anything about it at all, but he wasn't going to ask now, and when Rong Hong wanted to talk about it someday, or when the time came, it wouldn't be too late to ask.

"I want to give you clothes, and I want to buy the same clothes as you." Chu Feng said.

Rong Hong blushed, the same clothes really moved his heart.But... "What should I do if people see it?"

"Then just buy the same one." Chu Feng laughed.It is true that the whole set is the same, but if there is only one piece that is the same, at most, they will all fall in love with the same piece when shopping together, and others will not be able to say anything.After all, he has the same thing as Gui Heng, but the meaning is completely different.

Rong Hong was still a little hesitant, it would be fine to buy the same clothes, but he always felt that it was not good for Chu Feng to pay for it.

Chu Feng pulled him into the corner, and said with a smile, "If you think I'm going to buy you something and you're embarrassed, just give me a kiss, and you've paid me."

Rong Hong's face turned even redder, he pushed him, and said, "Who wants to kiss you..." This is still outside!

"Then let me kiss you?" Chu Feng blocked his way with a smile.Then she lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead.After all, it was outside. If he lowered his head to kiss Rong Hong's lips, it would be too obvious, but kissing his forehead would not be easy to be found.

Rong Hong blushed and bowed his head and did not speak.

Chu Feng smiled and grabbed his wrist, pulling him to try on clothes.

In the end, Chu Feng bought Rong Hong a suit of clothes and two pairs of shoes from inside to outside, and the two bought the same down jacket, and then Chu Feng dragged Rong Hong out of the mall contentedly.Although he had prepaid the living expenses for the next month that his mother called him yesterday for today's consumption, but when his advertising fee arrived, he would make up for it and still have a lot left.In addition to the tutoring fee for the tutor, the rest of the money, he also had to think carefully before buying something for Rong Hong.

And Rong Hong, who was a little sad before, has all calmed down now.Thinking of Chu Feng picking out clothes for him one by one, pulling him into the fitting room to help him put them on, and even squatting down to help him put on his shoes, Rong Hong felt that the heat on his face could not go away.It seems that as long as there is Chu Feng, no matter what kind of negative emotions will disappear in the end.

"Chu Feng, thank you." Rong Hong wanted to say a lot, but he only said this.

Chu Feng could see that Rong Xun's mood had recovered, so he smiled and said, "You want to thank me? Let's sleep together tonight."

Rong Hong froze for a moment, and then his neck turned red.

Chu Feng laughed loudly, took Rong Hong's hand into the taxi, and returned to school.
