37 You're not alone

Zhao Lin could feel his shirt getting soaked with tears by Feng Qiao but he didn't care.

He continued patting Feng Qiao gently on his back and on his head while Feng Qiao cried his heart out in his arms.

Zhao Lin could feel his heart clench hearing those heart wrenching cries from Feng Qiao.

He tighten his hug on the small frame of Feng Qiao as he could feel his body trembling from crying.

"It's okay. I'm here" Zhao Lin muttered gently.

"T-the... pi...pictures...n-not true! " Feng Qiaosaid between his sobs while his head was still burrowed on Zhao Lins shoulders.

"I know... They're definitely not true." Zhao Lin replied.

"M-my friend...b-betrayed me..."

"Hmmm."

"They... They... spread r-rumors..."

"Hmmm."

"They would....would l-laugh..."

"Hmmm."

"T-they....left me a-and.... I'm a-alone! I don't want....want to be a-alone!"

"You're not alone, I am here. " Zhao Lin said as he gently caressed Feng Qiao's head.

Feng Qiao tightened his grip on Zhao Lin's clothes as more tears flowed out of his eyes.

I... Am not alone.

Zhao Lin is here.

He is here. I could feel his warmth, his scent...

This is all real. Please let all this be real....

Feng Qiao continued crying on Zhao Lin's arms until he eventually fell asleep.

Feng Qiao's been stressed since he came to school. He never had the time to relax as his body was tense althrouout this time. Perhaps hearing those words from Zhao Lin was the reason he could finally relax and let his guard down.

He knew that with Zhao Lin, he would be safe.

Zhao Lin looked at this cat peacefully sleeping on his arms. His eyes was red from crying to much and his face was still filled with his tears. Gently, Zhao Lin stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears on Feng Qiao's face.

A cold light flashed by Zhao Lin's eyes as he took out his phone to call Xiao Yu. He told them his location and not long after, she arrived with Wang Shu.

"Junior Feng! Eh? What happened? Is he okay?" Xiao Yu was startled to see Feng Qiao on Zhao Lin's arms unmoving.

If this was a normal situation, Xiao Yu would have shrieked from the intimate position of the two but this is not the right time.

She was really worried about Feng Qiao! He just gotten over his past trauma and then this shit comes back again!

"He's fine, he's just exhausted" Zhao Lin replied.

"Will he be alright?" Wang Shu asked

"...." Zhao Lin didn't answer, he also didn't know if Feng Qiao would be alright after this. This incident greatly affected him.

"Whoever spread this about Feng Qiao better not let me find them or else..!!" Xiao Yu said while gritting her teeth.

"I won't let them get away with this." Zhao Lin said coldly, his eyes were cold and dangerous.

Wang Shu gulped, oh God, pres is really angry this time.

Whoever you are, you better run far away now.

You should never ever provoke an angry Zhao Lin or else the consequences are unimaginable.
