Rebirth and Redemption

The private room is warmer than the dining hall.Chu Feng and Rong Hong took off their coats and sat down on their seats. Song Xin handed them the menu and said with a smile, "See if there are any dishes you want to add. It doesn't matter if you order too much, you can take it home."

Chu Feng took the menu and looked through it slowly with Rong Hong.The restaurants for the New Year’s Eve dinner have already been set. Depending on the price, the dishes will also change to a certain extent, but the names of the dishes are very auspicious, and it seems that they are specific for the Spring Festival.Of course, in addition to the fixed menu for the New Year’s Eve dinner, you can also order a la carte, but the variety is not as many as usual, and the menu is also specially made for the Spring Festival, which makes me feel very happy.

Chutang sets the highest price, and five people who have too much food will definitely not be able to finish it. However, there is a custom of eating leftovers on the first day of the new year, which means that there is more than enough every year, so I am not afraid of too much, but I am afraid of not enough.

Because there are relatively few vegetarian dishes on the fixed menu for the New Year's Eve dinner, Chu Feng ordered one of Rong Xun's favorite vegetarian dishes, and added two servings of dim sum.

Chu Rou had already added what she wanted to eat, and after Chu Feng and Rong Hong finished ordering, she called the waiter to place the order.Since it is quite busy today, the guests have to write down the dishes themselves, and then just call the waiter to place the order, which is fast and convenient.

The TV in the private room is showing the warm-up program before the party. Dried fruits, snacks and fruits have been placed on the coffee table early in the morning, and they are all sealed with plastic wrap. Open it when you want to eat, so as to ensure cleanness and freshness.

The New Year's Eve dinner was served quickly, and when everything was served, Chu Rou turned the TV to silent and prepared to eat.

Because there was still driving at night, and no one was drinking, Chu Feng opened the juice and poured everyone a glass.The door of the private room is closed, which isolates the sound from the outside and makes the space more private.

As the head of the family, Chutang always had to say a few words.Looking at the three children, Chu Tang said: "This year Chu Feng successfully entered the university, and he has also dabbled in acting. Although the TV series has not yet come out, many parties have spoken well of you. You have grown up, we I don’t have much to say. I hope you will not slacken in your studies or work next year.”

"This is the second time for Rong Hong to celebrate the New Year with us. This year, Rong Hong also achieved good results in writing. He promised to find a teacher for you. Your aunt and I have been paying attention. Don't worry. I will definitely find the best one for you. However, after going to college, Rong Hong came to the house less often, and your aunt kept talking about you. I hope you will come home more often in the future, even if Chu Feng is not here, you can come, Let the kitchen make you something you like, don't admit it."

"As for Chu Rou, you will be a senior in high school next fall. I hope you can study hard like your two brothers, strive for a good grade in the exam, and study your favorite major."

"In the new year, I hope you can grow up healthily and work hard for what you like and what you want to do. Cheers." After Chu Tang finished speaking, he raised his glass.

"Cheers." Song Xin echoed the three children and raised their glasses together. When the five glasses meet together, it is a wish for a better new year and a blessing to the whole family.

The family chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very warm.When the party started, Chu Rou turned on the voice and ate while watching.During the dinner, no one mentioned about Rong Hong's mother, not even asking him if he planned to go to his parents' New Year's greetings, it seemed that he had completely regarded Rong Hong as his family, and he had to act together with them.

When they were almost done eating, Chu Rou moved some of the dishes on the table to the coffee table, while Chu Feng and Rong Xun brought the snacks and fruits from the coffee table to the dining table—it is more interesting to eat snacks at the party.

After the countdown to zero, the waiter delivered hot dumplings.Song Xin casually called the service to help pack it.

Chu Feng, Rong Hong and Chu Rou paid New Year greetings to Chu Tang and Song Xin, and each received two big red envelopes.The hotel also set off fireworks at the entrance to celebrate the arrival of the Chinese New Year.

While eating dumplings, Rong Xun sent a text message to his parents for New Year's greetings, but they didn't get a reply.However, in the strong festive atmosphere, he didn't care too much. Chu Feng was always by his side, so he seldom cared about other things.

After eating the dumplings, the family got in the car and went home with the packed dishes.After arriving home, Chu Tang took Chu Feng to set off firecrackers and fireworks at the door to add auspiciousness to the new year.Song Xin took Rong Hong in the kitchen and put the things she brought back into the refrigerator, and some things that didn't need to be put in the refrigerator were also placed separately.Chu Rou was already sleepy, so Song Xin asked her to go upstairs to take a shower and rest.

By the time everything is done, it's almost two o'clock.Song Xin hurriedly asked Chu Feng and Rong Xun to go upstairs to rest. She, who usually pays attention to going to bed early and getting up early, quickly checked the doors and windows of the house, and then went back to the room to rest with Chu Tang.

When Rong Hong came out of the shower, Chu Feng was sitting on the bed waiting for him, looking like a big bad wolf waiting for the little white rabbit to clean himself.

Rong Hong remembered what happened this morning, and his face, which was originally slightly red after taking a bath, seemed even redder.He walked over slowly, and just about to say something, he was pulled by Chu Feng, brought under the quilt and pressed under him.

Rong Hong put one hand in front of Chu Feng and looked at Chu Feng.Chu Feng's eyes clearly reflected his reflection, which made him a little embarrassed.

Chu Feng smiled, lowered his head and kissed him.Rong Hong grabbed his collar and followed his rhythm.After about 2 minutes, Chu Feng let him go, then turned off the lights in the room, hugged Rong Hong in his arms, and said, "Go to sleep."

Rong Hong seemed a little surprised, I thought Chu Feng would do something else.

Chu Feng pinched Rong Xun's earlobes, and said with a smile, "It's too late to wake up in the morning, go to bed." Although he didn't say how early he had to wake up in the morning of the first day of junior high school, it was about the same, so the whole family could have dinner together.

"En." Seeing that Chu Feng had nothing to do, Rong Hong felt relieved.He found a comfortable position in Chu Feng's arms, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.It was too late today, and he was a little tired. He felt that if he did it with his hands, he would definitely fall asleep in seconds. It would be better to lean on Chu Feng and feel the sense of security that Chu Feng brought him, which also made him feel at ease.

In the early morning of the first day of the lunar new year, Rong Hong was woken up by a phone call. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Rui Si calling.

Rong Hong sat up, let himself wake up a little bit, and then connected the phone, "Mom, Happy Chinese New Year."

"Happy Chinese New Year." Rui Si's voice was smiling, and she started eating very gently, "Are you home now?"

"No. Do you have something to do?" Rong Hong asked.There is no need to hide the fact that he lives in Chu Feng's house.After all, it happened yesterday.

Chu Feng also woke up, but he didn't get up, he just lay in the quilt and listened to Rong Hong's phone call.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you have time to come to have a meal at home." Rui Si said.

If it was a few days earlier, his mother would have let him eat at home on the first day of junior high school, he would have been very happy.but now……

"Mom, I have arrangements for the past few days." Rong Hong said.It's not that he's shirking, it's that the schedule is really full these days.In many cases, he and Chu Feng made an appointment to go out together.

"That's it..." Rui Si sounded a little disappointed, but she still said, "Then when you're not busy, go out and have a meal with mom."

Rong Hong hesitated for a moment, it wasn't that he didn't want to agree, it's just that his mother had a younger brother, and he really didn't know how much time his mother had to have a good meal with him.But since his mother mentioned it, he naturally couldn't refuse, and said: "Okay, I will contact you when the time comes."

"Yeah." Rui Si paused for a moment, and didn't hang up the phone right away, but asked hesitantly: "Xiao Xun, that... I, I think you had dinner with Song Xin yesterday? Why? What's going on? How did you know Song Xin?"

Rong Hong lowered his eyelids slightly, and said vaguely: "It's Chu Feng's relationship." The mother-child relationship between Chu Feng and Song Xin has not been fully exposed to the public, and Rong Hong doesn't want to talk too much, and there is nothing wrong with his explanation.

"Really..." Rui Si said, "Song Xin seems to be very kind to you."

"She is a very gentle lady." Rong Hong said.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Chu Feng, and he would introduce Song Xin to you." Rui Si said with some emotion.

Rong Hong didn't know what to reply, so he could only give a faint "hmm".

"I heard that Song Xin married the big boss." Rui Si's tone was a little tentative, as if she wanted to know how much Rong Hong knew about Song Xin.

"Probably... It's not convenient for me to ask more about other people's affairs." Rong Hong said.In fact, when his mother said this, he already felt that something was wrong, as if she came here to inquire about Song Xin's situation on purpose.

"It's also..." Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Rui Si said: "Then let's have dinner together when you are free, and we will contact you when the time comes."

"Okay." Rong Hong responded and said "goodbye" to Rui Si.

Rui Si answered and hung up the phone first.

Because the room was very quiet, and Chu Feng was very close to Rong Hong, he could basically hear Rui Si's words very clearly.Why did Rui Si ask those words? He didn't want to get into the details, as long as Rong Hong could protect himself as he did just now.

Stretching out his hand to hug Rong Hong, Chu Feng said, "It's still early, let's sleep for a while."

"Woke you up?" Rong Hong apologized, they slept late yesterday.

Chu Feng pressed a kiss on his lips and said, "It's okay."

Chu Feng stretched out his arms to hug Chu Feng, filling the emptiness in his heart with Chu Feng's body temperature.

Chu Feng bought a movie ticket for this afternoon, and said he would take him and Chu Rou to the movies. There are six new movies released today. Although there will be very few people going out to watch movies today, there is a large gap between the movies. The time coincides, so they can only choose one to watch.But he sat with Chu Feng, and Chu Rou sat alone.Chu Rou didn't object when she heard this arrangement, anyway, she was going to the movies, not to see other people showing affection.

After hugging Chu Feng for a while, Rong Hong's mood eased, he raised his head and smiled at Chu Feng, and said, "Let's go downstairs to heat up the meal, so that uncle and aunt can eat when they get up."

Seeing that Rong Hong was no longer sleepy, Chu Feng, who originally wanted to hug Rong Hong to sleep for a while, had no choice but to give up his original idea, hugged Rong Hong firmly, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." Anyway, as long as Rong Hong Glad, it doesn't matter if he sleeps less for a while.
