He is my responsibility

Why is Zhao Lin still here?

All of them went out of the gym at the same time, including Zhao Lin. That is why it was confusing why is here.

"Senior?" Feng Qiao called out softly.

Zhao Lin looked back and was surprised for a moment, "Why are you here?"

"Uh, I forgot my wallet so I came back" Feng Qiao scratched the back of his head and smile sheepishly.

"Oh, you mean this?" Zhao Lin stretched out his hand and lying in his palms is a black wallet with a simple cat design.

"Yes! Yes! That's mine. Thank you." Feng Qiao retrieved the wallet from Zhao Lin's hand.

"How about you, senior? why did you come back?"

"The same as you."

"Oh, have you found it yet?" Feng Qiao felt amused, so Zhao Lin is also forgetful ah! He learned a new thing today!

Feng Qiao, being a 'stalker' of Zhao Lin before, find happiness in learning things about Zhao Lin. His habits, quirks, likes and dislikes — everything.

"Yes, I found it already" Zhao Lin stared at Feng Qiao, his eyes are cloudy like he was pondering about something...

After a long while, the Zhao Lin spoke again: "Are you going home now?"

Feng Qiao blinked, "Yes..." He already found his wallet so of course, he was going home now.

"Then let's go." Zhao Lin smiled.

Both of them went out of the gym and just as Feng Qiao was about to walk away after saying his goodbye to Zhao Lin, he felt that someone tugged on his arm.

"Where are you going?" asked Zhao Lin while holding on to Feng Qiao's soft arms.

"Going home?" Feng Qiao could feel his heartbeat quickens upon skin contact with Zhao Lin.

"My car is in this way, I am taking you home." Zhao Lin said.

"Eh? You're taking me home?"

"Yes, didn't you hear what Xiao Yu said earlier? It is dangerous out there nowadays especially for someone like you."

Zhao Lin was really worried. Feng Qiao looks so gullible and innocent, a perfect target for bastards out there. Added the fact that he was exceptionally beautiful, he would surely be in danger. He is Feng Qiao's senior and he was the one who recruited Feng Qiao in the first place which means that Feng Qiao is his responsibility.

Feng Qiao thought that Zhao Lin was joking at first but upon seeing that genuine worry in his eyes, he brushed that idea off.

He is serious.

Feng Qiao didn't really take what Xiao Yu said to heart, none of them did. The other members didn't even mention it anymore after that. However, he didn't expect that Zhao Lin would take this seriously, resulting in this situation he was in right now.

"Yes, I heard it but..." Feng Qiao was about to protest as he doesn't want to be a burden to Zhao Lin but seeing that genuine and earnest look in his eyes, he could only swallow back those words and say: "Sorry for the trouble then and thank you."

After that, he hopped in the car with Zhao Lin. The journey was quiet and peaceful. Both of them didn't talk to each other aside from Feng Qiao instructing Zhao Lin the direction to his house, but it didn't make the atmosphere awkward, on the contrary, it was comfortable and relaxing.

When they arrived at the Feng residence, Zhao Lin walked Feng Qiao to the gate of his house.

"Thank you senior for the ride. Please be careful on your way back." Feng Qiao smiled sincerely at Zhao Lin, his cheeks are slightly pink.

If he said that he isn't happy that Zhao Lin took him home, he would be lying. Who wouldn't be happy to see the person you like, worrying about you?

Though he knew that Zhao Lin was probably only doing this as a good senior to his junior, Feng Qiao still felt happy.

Zhao Lin observed this cat in front of him, as he smiled at him. He felt warm in his chest seeing that the cat let down his guard in front of him, no longer that aloof and scared cat that he was before.

Before he knew it, his hands were already stretched out to touch that fluffy black hair.

As he gently patted and ruffle that black hair, he could feel in his fingertips its softness and fluffiness, making it feels incredibly good to touch.

It seems like he's going to develop a new habit...

"See you tomorrow" Zhao Lin smiled at Feng Qiao as he reluctantly patted his head for the last time before going back to his car.

In the car, Zhao Lin could still feel that softness in his hand.

He chuckled to himself and thought,

I didn't know that petting a cat could also feel this good, I should do it more often...
