Standing Next To You-Chapter 200: A Love Letter

The bell rang throughout the whole school, and students cheered. frёewebηovel.cѳm

A few minutes later, the locker area was filled with the lively chatter of students, a group of boys running in the hallway, and some groups of threes who were discussing which arcade or establishment to visit next.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, a tall boy stood in front of his locker silently. The eyes under the long bangs were gazing intensely at the locker in front of him.

It felt like a long time ago when he was anxious about opening his own locker. Ever since he got the ’protection’ of the tyrant, Fei Chuan no longer received all sorts of trash in his locker. The peace he got in that short duration felt like a long time for him.

But now, Bei Sangyun said she left a ’surprise’ for him.

As someone who received ’surprises’ before, Fei Chuan knew what to expect.

Could it be a snake? A dead rat? Or fake blood?

For a moment, Fei Chuan hesitated to open his locker.

A student was running in the hallway as his classmates were chasing after him. These two students were among the low-key bullies in the school. They were arrogant and looked down on everyone.

Because the student at the front was laughing and making faces at the classmate behind him, he collided with Fei Chuan.

The student was hit on the shoulder and felt pain. His laughter stopped. He was about to scold someone for having no eyes when he suddenly stopped.

He met Fei Chuan’s gloomy eyes.

The student’s arrogance disappeared in a flash. He bowed his head and politely apologized.

Fei Chuan did not utter a single word, and the two students left in a hurry. His good hearing picked up their conversation as they departed.

"Goodness, I almost offended the target." The student said with fear.

"Why, are you scared of him? I heard he’s not an important person in the Fei family," the classmate commented.

"Have you forgotten? The tyrant has his back! I was there when the tyrant’s lackey defeated all of Da Li’s men. I was suspended thanks to Da Li..." Their voices disappeared as they ran away.

Fei Chuan: "...."

It felt novel to have the bullies run away from him. Just a month ago, these bullies would seek him out just to make his life difficult.

Fei Chuan then realized that his initial thoughts were too ridiculous. He and Bei Sangyun no longer had a bad relationship like in the beginning. There was no bully or victim in their relationship anymore. They had actually become close.

So she was not sending him something unpleasant or scary, right?

After gaining some affirmation, Fei Chuan finally opened his locker.

In the gray locker, aside from his bag and books organized on each side, there was a pink envelope lying at the center.

Fei Chuan checked every corner of his locker and found nothing unusual aside from the bright pink envelope. There was no dead animal, snake, or fake blood.

His eyes then landed on the bright object that didn’t fit among his things. He picked it up and saw the candle wax shaped like a red heart.

Fei Chuan: "...."

He turned it around and saw pretty and neat letters: From Bei Sangyun, To Fei Chuan.

Fei Chuan: "...."

A thought popped into his mind. He felt incredulous and opened the letter.

The moment he opened it, a delicate and sweet aroma of flowers reached his nose. He was stunned.

A scented letter. A bright pink envelope with a heart-shaped seal. What else could this be?

Fei Chuan’s heart skipped a beat. He froze for a few seconds, then he calmed down.

Bei Sangyun giving a love letter to him? That was insane.

This must be a prank. Like one of her jokes to tease him.

Fei Chuan recovered his calm and proceeded to read the glossy pink card inside.

There were only two sentences written on it. The tone was dominant and firm like Bei Sangyun.

[Marry Me]

Fei Chuan: "...."

....

The sun rose and illuminated the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony. Bei Sangyun was already awake and had taken a bath. She was wearing a bathrobe and had just finished drying her hair.

The weather was still cold, and the heater in Bei Sangyun’s room was turned up to the max. Maid Ye Zhai was standing behind her, waiting for Bei Sangyun’s order.

Bei Sangyun sat in front of the vanity mirror. She checked the dressing table’s drawer and did not find what she needed. She turned to Maid Ye Zhai. "Where are my make-up?"

Maid Ye Zhai blinked. The Young Miss did not use make-up regularly, so it wasn’t on her dressing table. The set of make-up that the Young Miss used for important banquets was hidden in the closet by her.

"...I’ll fetch it." Maid Ye Zhai left and returned after a few minutes, dragging a suitcase.

Bei Sangyun: "..."

The make-up sets should be displayed on the dressing table. Why were they kept in a suitcase?

Bei Sangyun had forgotten that her past self had once been embarrassed by putting on exaggerated make-up due to Lin Xiaoni and Lin Sunji’s scheme at one of the Lin family banquets. It left her with trauma, and whenever she saw make-up, she would be reminded of the ’clown’ at the Lin family banquet. So the young her angrily put all her make-up in a suitcase and hid it in the closet.

But today’s Bei Sangyun had long forgotten about it. A lot of things happened after that, and her little trauma seemed insignificant compared to the other things she had experienced.

Bei Sangyun and Maid Ye Zhai organized them on the dressing table. She then began applying make-up to her face skillfully.

As the leading figure of the Bei family and the CEO of a big company—Bei Corporation—Bei Sangyun had to appear at her best whenever she came out to meet business partners and clients. So she learned how to doll up herself.

After applying make-up, Bei Sangyun curled her hair with Maid Ye Zhai’s help.

Bei Sangyun was finished and looked at the pretty and sophisticated girl in the mirror. "So, how is she?"

She asked Maid Ye Zhai while looking into the mirror.
