12 Because youre here with me. (2/2)

*****

Throughout the way to the Art Department, looks were constantly thrown to Feng Qiao and Zhao Lin, followed by disbelief and astonishment from the students.

Feng Qiao sneaked a glance to this guy beside him.

'It was all because of him'

It was because Zhao Lin was there with him that he was able to face his fears.

It was because he was there that he was able to walk calmly under these countless of piercing stares.

It was because he was there that he was able to feel joy again.

Soon, they've reached their destination and Zhao Lin bade him farewell.

Feng Qiao panicked seeing this, he still wasn't able to voice out what he wanted to say. ”W-wait!”

”Hmm?” Zhao Lin turned back.

”I-uh.. ” Feng Qiao felt like something was stucked in his throat. He wanted to say many things to Zhao Lin but it seems like his mouth won't listen to him.

”Do you want me to take you to your classroom?”

”Yes... I-I mean no! No! It's not that....” Come on Feng Qiao! Say it!, ”...I just wanted to thank you... Thank you for being here with me”

Zhao Lin smiled and something flashes across his eyes, ”It's fine. You should always remember that the whole team and I got your back, alright? Go and show them the new Feng Qiao”

Feng Qiao nodded and he happily bid farewell to Zhao Lin as he went inside the building.

Zhao Lin waited until he couldn't see Feng Qiao's figure anymore before turning to go back to the HQ.

While he was walking, Zhao Lin opened his phone.

In the main screen, a pinned note could be seen:

Zhao Lin smiled to himself.
