Rebirth and Redemption

When Chu Rou came out of the bathroom, she saw Rong Hong standing in the corridor waiting for him.

Chu Rou pursed her lips and walked over, but didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing Chu Feng whose eyes were still red, Rong Hong said softly, "I'm sorry, I scared you by telling you about this all of a sudden."

Chu Rou shook her head, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Senior, do you really like my brother?"

Rong Hong looked at him and said: "Well, I like him very much. I don't know if you have heard the rumor about me being gay. This rumor is not groundless. I don't know who spread it , but I can probably guess a few people. I don’t want to hide it from you. I don’t like girls by nature. I discovered this when I was in junior high school. There were rumors that I was gay in school, and everyone started to alienate me. To be honest, It was a big blow to me. During that time, your brother and I also had some incidents, and then he told me that he liked me. I was quite surprised at that time, but your brother was really good to me. I slowly got rid of the isolation situation, and my mood gradually improved. So although I did have some unpleasantness with him, without his company later, I might have collapsed."

Rong Hong has always had the habit of writing a diary. That day, his classmates in his dormitory asked him to borrow notes to copy. He was taking a shower, so he asked the classmates to go to his desk to get them.As a result, the classmate didn't take his diary as a note. When he opened it, he saw the page where he wrote that he liked boys.Almost instantly, the other two people also knew about it, and then the whole school began to spread the news.He didn't know who said it, or if all three people were involved, but he couldn't ask anything, because it was all the truth.

He didn't mention these things to Chu Feng, and Chu Feng didn't ask him. He thought it was best because he didn't want to mention some things.

Chu Rou didn't know what happened between Rong Hong and her brother, but it sounded serious.But since Rong Hong had brought this simplification over, he said he didn't want to mention it, and Chu Rou thoughtfully didn't ask.

Rong Hong smiled slightly and said, "Maybe you don't understand the relationship between me and Chu Feng, but because you are Chu Feng's important relative, I have to tell you about this matter. I don't know if I can tell you about it." Chu Feng went to the end, but I want to try. Even if we are separated in the end, at least I have tried, and I will not regret it."

Speaking of her elder brother, Chu Rou is actually not sure how far he can go with Rong Hong.Her brother seems to have restrained a lot now, but she is very clear about his original temperament.So in this relationship between them, Rong Hong was actually hurt even more.However, since her brother told her about this matter, it must be due to some different feelings towards Rong Hong, right?

"This road is not easy to walk." Chu Rou does not discriminate against homosexuality, but there is still something to say.

"I know." Rong Hong smiled gently, "Even if there is no result, the period of dating Chu Feng will become the best memory of my life."

Chu Rou didn't know what to say for a moment, both sides were people she cared about.Besides, senior Rong Hong has already said that he doesn't like girls by nature, so there is nothing he can do about it.All she could do was bless her.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Rou forced a smile and said, "Don't keep brother waiting, let's go back."

"Okay." Seeing that her mood had eased a lot, Rong Hong was also relieved, and returned to his seat with Chu Rou.

Seeing them coming back, Chu Feng carefully observed the expressions of the two of them, and found that there was nothing unusual except that Chu Rou's eyes were a little red, so he was relieved from the bottom of his heart.

Sitting back on the chair, Chu Rou sorted out her emotions, stared at Chu Feng and said, "I'm really surprised that you suddenly told me this. But since Senior Rong Hong also likes you, I won't say anything. You are good For him, don't bully him. Otherwise, I won't help you in the future."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Understood. I'm only telling you now, and Gui Heng doesn't even know about it. You have to keep it a secret."

"Well, don't worry." Chu Rou also knew that such things should not be said nonsense, even if she wanted to come out, she had to be fully prepared.

With Chu Rou as an ally, Chu Feng felt that his family had an extra help, and if he wanted to come out in the future, he could ask Chu Rou to speak for him.

"Thank you, Chu Rou." Rong Hong said seriously.

Chu Rou smiled at him and said, "I have the right to treat it as having an extra brother. In the future, if I have any questions about my studies, I can ask you boldly." She also figured it out. Relationships, once inappropriate, are basically a hit and miss.But if it's her brother's boyfriend, she may develop into a family member in the future. Even if her brother and Rong Hong fail to reach the end of this relationship, she can still maintain a close relationship with Rong Hong. Why not?

"You are always welcome." Rong Hong smiled.

Seeing that Chu Rou had returned to normal, Chu Feng also felt that his decision was very correct.He could see that Chu Rou had indeed cried. It shouldn't be because he felt sad knowing that his brother was dating a boy, but more because of Rong Hong's relationship, so he didn't think wrong about Chu Rou liking Rong Hong.Fortunately, it was resolved as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

They also made an appointment with Shen Shi to attend class in the afternoon, so the three of them left after eating.Chu Feng and Rong Hong sent Chu Rou to the car first, and asked her to call after she got home, and then went to the place they had made an appointment with Shen Shi.

——Chu Rou always goes home on weekends, and today she stayed an extra day because she made an appointment for dinner and it was convenient to walk together at school.

The tutoring in the afternoon went well, but there was an episode in the middle - Chu Feng met a fan.

A few little girls were cautiously asking if it was Chu Feng, but after getting an affirmative answer, they immediately became excited and wanted to take a photo with Chu Feng.After thinking about it, Chu Feng only agreed to take a photo with them, and the girls readily agreed.Just like that, Chu Feng took a photo with his fans for the first time after his rebirth.

The fans saw that their desks were full of textbooks, and they looked like they were studying, so they didn't feel embarrassed to bother them any more. After asking Chu Feng to study hard, they left first.

Chu Feng didn't pay much attention to this little episode, and continued to focus on the textbook and listen carefully.

On the way back, Rong Hong grabbed the strap of his schoolbag and seemed a little silent.

"What's wrong?" Chu Feng asked after noticing his abnormality.

"It's nothing." Rong Hong smiled and said, "I'm just a little sleepy."

Chu Feng is not easy to fool, he looked carefully at Rong Hong for a while, stretched out his hand and pulled him into an alley beside him, and said, "Aren't you going to tell me the truth?"

"No..." Rong Hong lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong.

Chu Feng stretched out his arms to hug him, and whispered in his ear, "What's the matter?"

Rong Hong was silent for a long while before saying, "It seems that none of us have taken photos alone."

Usually Rong Hong didn't care about this matter, but today a fan came to take a photo with Chu Feng, and he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something missing between them.

Chu Feng thought about it, and it seemed to be true.But now it’s no better than ten years later, all kinds of mobile phones and tablets can be used to take photos, and the results are all good. The effect of the current mobile phones is not so good. Generally, non-professionals want to take a photo seriously, and they will choose to use digital camera.

"I was negligent." Chu Feng said: "I'll call Xiaorou later and ask her to bring the camera at home, and then we'll go and take some photos."

"Don't bother..." In fact, he was just a little bit jealous when he saw Chu Feng taking a photo with fans, but he would not tell Chu Feng.

"No trouble." Holding his hand, he said: "The photos are all memories, and we should have them. We will take them every season in the future, and we can take them out in the future to see the changes between us at that time and us now, isn't it? Is it interesting?"

In fact, photos are also a testimony of growth. Maturity is not only manifested in speech and manners, but also in appearance.

"Actually, you don't need to take so many photos. Just one photo. Keep it as a souvenir..." Rong Hong said.

"Fool, how can one photo be enough?" Such a cautious Rong Hong made Chu Feng feel distressed, took his hand, Chu Feng kissed his fingers, and said, "We will have many photos, and we will make them at home later." A photo wall, put our photos, okay?"

Rong Hong pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "I don't want it, put it away carefully, so that you can take it out to read at any time, and it won't turn yellow."

Chu Feng also laughed, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." It seems that when ordering Rong Xun's bookcase in the future, a special compartment should be reserved for their photo album.

After entering late autumn, the temperature dropped sharply.There was another gust of cold air, and the wind became very strong.

After breakfast, Rong Hong and Chu Feng came to the classroom for early self-study.But this seemingly ordinary morning was made a little weird by the gazes cast on Rong Hong by a few classmates.

Chu Feng also noticed that there were even a few boys looking at Rong Hong with a little disgust in their eyes.Chu Feng suddenly felt angry, and just about to arrest someone to ask what they meant, Dong Fang walked into the classroom.

"Rong Hong, come out for a while." Dong Fang said.

Rong Hong quickly put down the book, and followed Dong Fang to the corridor.

In the early self-study time, there were only Dong Fang and Rong Hong in the corridor, so it was convenient for them to talk.Dong Fang took out a photo and handed it to Rong Hong, asking, "Is the person on it you?"

Rong Hong took a look at the photo and was stunned.The photo is a back view, but because he turned his head to look at the person next to him, showing half of his face, it is easy to see that the person is him.The person next to him was intentionally mosaiced, but it could be seen that it was a man.The point is, in the photo he and that person are holding hands.

"It was confiscated from the students by the teacher of the second class this morning, and he showed it to me immediately. The school doesn't interfere with the students' personal preferences, but it will have a bad influence if everyone knows about it." Dong Fang was also very helpless, if he hadn't really had the photo, he wouldn't have talked to Rong Hong about it.Just like the rumor last time, because there was no evidence, she didn't take it seriously.

Rong Hong's mind was spinning fast, he knew very well that he could not admit to homosexuality, let alone his relationship with Chu Feng.He can't be impulsive and ruin Chu Feng.

At this time, Chu Feng, who was worried about Rong Hong, followed out. Seeing that Rong Hong was holding a photo in his hand, he naturally took it away.But after seeing Rong Hong and himself who had been mosaiced above, his brows furrowed instantly, and his face sank—obviously this photo was aimed at Rong Hong, and the strange attitude of the students today is probably because of this photo for the sake.

"Teacher, where did you get this photo?" Chu Feng asked directly.

Dong Fang had no choice but to tell him the story again.

Chu Feng said with a serious face: "Teacher, the person who was mosaiced is me. This is Saturday, I went to have lunch with Rong Hong before going to cram school, and I was secretly photographed. It should be that we are leaving. Because there were quite a lot of people in the store, I was afraid that someone would bump into Rong Hong, so I held him, nothing. Obviously someone with ulterior motives covered me up, making it look like Rong Hong had done something shameful. Besides, my sister went with us that day, and that's it. If you don't believe me, you can ask her." Chu Feng said, pointing to the unclear back figure in front of the two of them in the photo, because Chu Rou was wearing a pink dress that day The jacket, so it is quite conspicuous.

When Dong Fang heard this, she also felt that this matter should be a misunderstanding.Chu Feng's words were very clear, well-adjusted, and he didn't appear to be modest in the slightest.Plus Chu Feng's younger sister, the three of them should not be on a date or anything, but at most just have a meal with classmates.

"Teacher, this matter is too much." Chu Feng felt that he must show anger at this time, so that the teacher could completely dispel his doubts, and then went to investigate this matter, "We went out to eat on Saturday because of the monthly exam. My grades are not bad, so I want to go out to celebrate. Originally, I also wanted to call Si Xian and Gui Heng, but they have tutoring all day long, so the three of us went together. It turned out like this, like me and Rong Hong It's like doing something shameful, I think it's very unfair to Rong Hong and me."

Dong Fang nodded. Chu Feng's reason for going out to eat was completely valid. Her students went to eat openly, but someone came and made such a move, which made her very angry.Now is the time when the students need to study hard. The person who printed these photos obviously wanted to disturb Rong Hong's heart and affect his academic performance. In her opinion, this is totally intolerable.

Sighing, Dong Fang patted Rong Hong on the shoulder and said: "It seems that someone has ulterior motives. The teacher will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you justice. Don't take it too seriously, so as not to affect your grades. "

"Well, I see, don't worry." Rong Hong said.

Dong Fang didn't say anything else, took the photo and went back to the office - she had to solve this matter as soon as possible, so that Rong Hong could feel at ease earlier.

After Dong Fang left, Chu Feng shook Rong Hong's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."

"I'm fine. Let's leave it to Teacher Dong." Although Rong Hong's mood was a bit complicated, he was not too uncomfortable.After all, it was Chu Feng who was with him, so he didn't seem to feel anything terrible.

"Mr. Dong has Mr. Dong's way, and I have mine. If you dare to bully you, I will definitely not let him go." Chu Feng pinched Rong Hong's hand, then turned and entered the classroom.

Soon, there was a harsh sound in the classroom, and Rong Hong rushed in to see that Chu Feng was standing by the podium, and he kicked the podium nearly one meter away, causing all the students to look up at him.

Chu Feng took a cold look at the classmates in the class, and said, "Who among you has received that photo? I've been quiet recently, and you really think I've cultivated my morals? Who made that photo?" I will find out sooner or later, and let me tell you that the person who was mosaiced is me. My sister was with us for dinner that day. So put away your dirty thoughts and guesses, and don't let me hear any gossip."

"Brother Feng, what's going on?" Gui Heng was completely at a loss as to what happened.

"Someone wants to target Rong Hong, and made such a thing out of nothing, and it spread everywhere. I'll tell you after I finish class." After Chu Feng finished speaking, he glanced at the students below, and said, "Whoever Don't blame me for showing that kind of look to Rong Hong."

After finishing speaking, Chu Feng pulled Rong Hong back to his seat.

Just now when Chu Feng warned his classmates in front of him, Rong Hong felt that Chu Feng seemed to have returned to the past, and turned back to that bad-tempered bad student, but this time it was all for him, which made him feel warm and at ease .
