It was more than that

Zhao Lin stood up while carrying Feng Qiao in both of his arms.

"Wang Shu, take Feng Qiao—" Zhao Lin was just about to pass Feng Qiao to Wang Shu when he suddenly noticed that Feng Qiao is still tightly holding on to his shirt.

"Pres, I think that its best if you're the one accompanying Feng Qiao until he woke up. It may not look like it but Feng Qiao is really dependent on you, you're his support." Xiao Yu said and continued, "Don't worry about other things, we'll handle it. We'll surely find the person behind this."

"We'll handle it pres, we won't let them get away with this." Wang Shu said as he patted Zhao Lin's shoulder.

Due to other persuasions, Zhao Lin finally agreed.

"Update me once you find something"

"Yes, you should hurry and take Junior Feng back" Xiao Yu reassured.

After giving his reminders, Zhao Lin finally left with Feng Qiao in his arms and went to HQ. While walking he definitely stands out of the crowd but others couldn't see who in his arms. He ignored all those piercing stares and went straight to HQ.

He put down Feng Qiao on a sofa gently.

Feng Qiao was still tightly clutching his shirt preventing him from moving away.

Left with no choice, Zhao Lin changed their position. He sat on the sofa while Feng Qiao's head lay on his lap, making it easier for both of them.

Feng Qiao tightened his grip on Zhao Lin's shirt and put himself closer to Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin looked at Feng Qiao in his lap, he extended his hand to remove the tears on the side of his eyes.

Zhao Lin felt his heart hurt seeing Feng Qiao like this. So weak, so fragile.

He's such an innocent and genuine person, why do people always hurt him?

Zhao Lin never met someone as genuine as Feng Qiao.

You never had to do things just to make him happy. Just your little gestures, and being his friend is enough for him.

Even if many people hurt him, he never once thought of revenge. Zhao Lin doubts that he even harbors hatred towards those people.

Instead of blaming other people, he would take the blame himself. He's so selfless.

It was because of this that Zhao Lin always felt at ease whenever he's with Feng Qiao. He never had to pretend or put his guard up. He could show everything to Feng Qiao without worrying about the consequences.

Even Zhao Lin was surprised at himself. He has always been a guarded person. He had achieved many things which garnered the admiration of other people but it also means that those people who want to get close to him always had ulterior motives for doing so.

They're not doing it to get close to him, they're doing it because of his achievements.

The only friends he made was Xiao Yu and others from the team. They are the only people he trusts.

And now, it also includes Feng Qiao.

Zhao Lin put his hands on Feng Qiao's head and gently caressed his hair, a complicated emotion flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Lin knew it himself.

This feeling....

It is different.

Zhao Lin felt at ease with the team, it was because he trusts them.

But with Feng Qiao,

He felt at ease with him, not just because he trusts him.

It was more than that.

Whenever he's with him, he feels serene and peaceful like it was the place where he belongs.

Zhao Lin didn't want to think deeply about it. Perhaps he was afraid to confront it. But he didn't want to change what he had right now.

What will happen, will happen.
