Chapter 22: An Embrace
However, the knocking at the door didn't last long, and silence returned outside.
Lin Qin buried his head in his knees, feeling an indescribable sense of loss, alongside the growing fear that made it hard to breathe.
But it was his own lack of response to Meng Chao that made Meng Chao leave.
He could only blame himself, Lin Qin thought.
He hugged himself tighter, the chill seeping from his bones making him shiver uncontrollably.
Until there was another sound from outside the door, this time Meng Chao didn't wait for a response; he just came in.
Hearing Meng Chao again, Lin Qin couldn't hold back any longer, the emotions hidden in his heart burst forth like a beast breaking free. Tears welled up in his eyes.
There was only one thought in his mind, he couldn't let Meng Chao see him like this.
