Lin Hao gently patted her back and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I will always protect you from now on."
Dai Xinyi looked up, meeting Lin Hao's resolute gaze, her heart filled with emotion. She knew she had finally found a shoulder to lean on.
After experiencing this turmoil, the bond between Dai Xinyi and Lin Hao grew even stronger. They cherished each other more and were more determined to be together.
After Zhang Tianming was detained, Dai Xinyi felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders, and the world around her suddenly became quiet. No longer anxious, she was finally able to sleep soundly at night. Lin Hao's presence was like a solid barrier, completely isolating her from the nightmares of her past.
In the days that followed, Lin Hao would send Dai Xinyi messages every day, checking in on her. Initially, it was just simple greetings, but gradually they began discussing work, life, and hobbies. Dai Xinyi was surprised to discover how many topics they shared.
They both enjoyed watching movies and listening to music, and they had a strong interest in psychology. More importantly, Lin Hao's humor always lifted her spirits, allowing her to temporarily forget the unpleasant memories.
"Are you tired from work?" Lin Hao's messages would always pop up punctually at eight in the evening.
"Not too bad, just a bit annoyed by unreasonable client demands," Dai Xinyi replied.
"Which client is so blind? Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson!" Lin Hao's responses were always laced with a hint of cheekiness but also brought her comfort.
"Forget it; I can handle it myself," Dai Xinyi replied with a smile, feeling a warm current surge through her heart.
In addition to messaging, Lin Hao would occasionally invite Dai Xinyi out for meals or movies. At first, she hesitated; after all, she had just come out of a failed relationship and didn't want to rush into another romance. But Lin Hao's sincerity and thoughtfulness gradually melted the ice around her heart.
"Just think of it as having dinner with a friend; don't overthink it," Lin Hao said with a smile as he sensed her concerns.
Dai Xinyi nodded and accepted his invitation.
After one movie ended, Lin Hao walked Dai Xinyi home. When they reached the bottom of her building, he suddenly stopped and looked at her with a serious expression. "Dai Xinyi, I know you haven't completely let go of the past yet, but I hope you can give me a chance to take care of you and protect you."
Dai Xinyi was taken aback; she hadn't expected Lin Hao to express his feelings so directly. She lowered her head in silence.
Seeing this, Lin Hao didn't press further; he simply sighed softly. "It's okay; I won't rush you. Take your time to think about it."
With that, he turned to leave.
"Lin Hao!" Dai Xinyi called out suddenly.
Lin Hao turned back, looking at her with curiosity.
"Thank you for everything you've done for me during this time," Dai Xinyi said sincerely. "I just need a little time."
Lin Hao smiled gently, his eyes filled with warmth. "I understand; I'll wait for you."
In the following days, their interactions became more frequent. Lin Hao would accompany Dai Xinyi to the supermarket for shopping, help her fix appliances at home, and tell jokes to cheer her up when she was feeling down. Dai Xinyi gradually became accustomed to Lin Hao's presence; she found herself relying on him more and more and realized she couldn't imagine being without him.
Initially, Dai Xinyi thought that her dependence on Lin Hao stemmed solely from his timely arrival in her life, filling the emotional void she had felt.
Like a person on the verge of dying of thirst in the desert who suddenly discovers a pool of clear spring water, she instinctively wanted to draw in that life-giving essence to sustain herself. She felt grateful for Lin Hao's companionship and his thoughtfulness, but she did not believe that this was love.
