"Thank you for the ride, senior" Feng Qiao said with a smile while holding tons of gifts on his both hands.
"Hmm, are you sure you're okay?" Zhao Lin nodded.
"Yes, I'm really fine."
"You should be more careful from now on, avoid being in an open area where they can see you, however, it is also not good to ignore them forever. You should try to communicate with them. You could also consider this as your training to be more confident at speaking to other people" Zhao Lin explained, when it comes to scenarios like this, confidence is needed for you to be able to calmly handle the situations which Feng Qiao definitely didn't possess at the moment.
Just look at Zhao Lin, he also has that much admirers as Feng Qiao, however, a situation like that never appeared before. Why? It was because Zhao Lin calmly talks to his admirers and he has this confidence aura around him which makes people think twice before approaching him.
"Yes, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you." Feng Qiao smiled. Senior Zhao Lin is worried about me....
Zhao Lin nodded as he put his hand on Feng Qiao's hair to ruffle his fluffy hair, "See you tomorrow."
"See you." Feng Qiao smiled, he was already used to Zhao Lin touching his hair and it made him happy whenever he did it.
*****
Everything came back to normal since that incident. Feng Qiao's admirers became more reserved and proper in approaching him, probably because of Zhao Lin's glare.
Feng Qiao also took Zhao Lin's advice to heart and started to talk to others willingly. He doesn't make excuses to run away like before.
When someone was trying to strike up a conversation with him, he would try to respond properly.
When someone was giving him a gift, he would properly thank them.
When someone was trying to confess to him, (yes, it happens quite often) he wouldn't ignore it like before and would now reject them properly.
Feng Qiao was slowly improving himself.
At the same time, he would eat with Zhao Lin every time and Zhao Lin would take him home after.
He now knows the different sides of Zhao Lin. His habits, expressions, likes and dislikes.
He could feel that they were much closer than before.
This was a big step for him, at least, Zhao Lin was aware of him now.
After all, everyone starts off as being friends...

"Heeeeeyyy, don't you notice something?" Wang Shu asked the other members.
"What?"
"Look. Look there," he said as he points to Feng Qiao who's now laughing while talking to Zhao Lin while taking a break from the workout.
"Cough cough what about them?" the member said while averting his eyes.
"Hmmm, Aren't they acting too close?" Wang Shu asked while stroking his imaginary beard.
"Of course they are close, Pres is teaching junior Feng personally."
"Right right! Don't overthink about it."
"You know that pres really want to win this time that's why he was putting extra care in junior Feng haha"
The members continued giving excuses to not let this idiot notice anything. This was such a blabbermouth, who knew what would happen if he had such thoughts, it would surely be known throughout the whole university.
It's not that they believe that their pres are already 'bent' alright!? They were just taking precautions. Yeah, it was just precautions to avoid issues!
"Is that so? What do you think Shao Wei?" Wang Shu turned to ask Shao Wei who was quietly sitting beside him.
"Just let them be." Shao Wei replied as he pass Wang Shu's favorite chips to him.
"If you say so!" Wang Shu said as he took the chips and munch on them.
The members internally gave Shao Wei a thumbs up!
Shao Wei's the best when it comes to controlling Wang Shu alright!
