Standing Next To You-Chapter 194: He loved you

Fei Chuan’s words caused Bei Sangyun to freeze.

The scene of a weak, white-haired man sitting on his wheelchair came to her mind. His breath was weak, but he smiled gently and still dropped a flower on her grave with a trembling hand.

"Can I stay here with you? You won’t push me away, right? I have been accompanying you for many years. You should have opened up to me by now." His voice was weak, but there was happiness in his tone.

"Will we see each other again? I really hope so." The white-haired man spoke a lot of things with a happy tone. But as the sky darkened, his voice became softer, and his breath weaker.

He closed his eyes and muttered, "...I just want to see...you...again."

And his breathing ceased...

Bei Sangyun’s nose turned sour. How could she forget that?

That was the moment when Bei Sangyun wished she could turn back time and treat him well. It doesn’t matter if he hated her; she wouldn’t hate him and would try to reconcile.

She did not want to see him die like that again.

Bei Sangyun prevented the tears that were threatening to come down. However, Fei Chuan was as emotional as her. His words hammered her like a knife, stabbing at her sore spots.

"He was angry and furious because the world took her away so soon before he could understand his feelings. For him, she was the only one. All he wanted was to stand next to you."

Bei Sangyun took a deep breath. Her tears fell like a downpour without permission. The vulnerable and fragile look on her face emerged in this darkness. She was grateful it was dark, and Fei Chuan could not see her face.

Fei Chuan had ruthlessly torn down the thick wall she had surrounded herself with, exposing the emotions and fragility hidden in the depths of her heart. She had been avoiding thinking about it because she knew she did not know how to face such a passionate and devoted Fei Chuan.

This is the reason why she offered to finish the script and did not give it to him except for the appointed day.

She only wrote what she wanted to say, but she wasn’t prepared for what he would say.

Fei Chuan, oblivious to her current state, spoke the truth, shattering all the tinted glasses that the past had filtered.

"He loved you. And he did not regret it."

Bei Sangyun’s whole body trembled.

Fei Chuan did not hear a response for a long time. If not for the wrist he was holding, he would have thought Bei Sangyun disappeared.

He bit his lips. He did not like this ending. No, to be exact, the man in his dream would surely not want that ending. This is no doubt what he would convey to the mysterious woman.

And...the man also wanted to hear something from her. As if he was bewitched by the ghost in his dream, he asked in the darkness in front of him.

"What about her? What is he to her?"

Bei Sangyun had no way to escape, nor could she continue blocking the emotions from the bottom of her heart. Emotions she had no time to analyze or understand yet.

"...She doesn’t know. She doesn’t know yet." Bei Sangyun opened her eyes and stared at the outline of the shadow close to her. "But she is clear about one thing. He was very important to her, and she wants to treat him well and give all the good things to him."

The lights finally opened, including the lights in the audience area. The people from backstage started to come to the stage and looked strangely at the two people who were still on the stage.

The two looked at each other as if they were the only people in the world.

Bei Sangyun smiled, her teary eyes filled with sincerity and emotions that were hard to decipher.

"For her, he is the beauty in this world."

.....

The orange sun began to descend. Amid the passing scenery, Fei Chuan leaned on the car’s window, dazedly staring at the colorful sky. The warm glow illuminated his side profile. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Driver Wang glanced at him through the rear-view mirror. The young master was shrouded in the orange warm glow, his face, which was always stiff and frowning, lost in thought. With such a rare expression on his face, he looked like a prince that had stepped out of a painting.

Driver Wang did not dare disturb him.

The young master seemed off today. He was fine when he was sent to school earlier. What could have happened at school that made him look so speechless and overwhelmed?

Driver Wang thought of the bullying and felt saddened for the young master.

So when the car stopped at the Fei’s mansion and Fei Chuan was about to leave, Driver Wang left him some kind words.

"There is only less than a year before graduation. So hang in there, Young Master!"

Fei Chuan: "?"

Grandma Pei welcomed him and prepared a feast for him. However, even during the meal, Fei Chuan seemed absent-minded. Grandma Pei did not ask and just supported him silently.

Everybody thought the reason the Young Master seemed down was because of the videos that circulated in the mansion. But since the Patriarch had banned everyone from spreading and watching it, no one mentioned it again.

Fei Chuan did not work on his laptop like he usually did and just threw himself on the bed after washing up.

He stared at his phone. The lock screen was still Bei Sangyun’s doodled panda face. He liked this photo. This always reminded him that he had once successfully played a trick on her.

The image on his phone suddenly overlapped with her crying and smiling face.

The sincerity in those eyes and the emotions he had never seen from her before haunted his mind for the nth time.

Fei Chuan angrily threw his phone on the farthest side of the bed. He tossed and turned, trying to dispel Bei Sangyun from his mind.

But then her last words appeared in his ears again, playing over and over.

Fei Chuan plunged himself into the quilt, hiding his red ears.

It was not him, okay. She was not referring to him at all. She was just humoring him. After all, he asked such strange questions that weren’t in the script. And how would she know what he was talking about?

He was the one who was strange suddenly becoming emotional.

So it was all just an illusion--

’---she is clear of one thing. He was very important to her and she wants to treat him well and give all the good things to him.’

Bei Sangyun’s words played in his ears, interrupting all of his thoughts. The complex look in her eyes, her beautiful smile, and the trembling of her wrist--

"Agh." Fei Chuan groaned in frustration.

Was he losing his mind?!

Amidst his tossing and turning, Fei Chuan gradually fell asleep. But this time, he did not dream about the mysterious grave and the man.

That man and the mysterious grave never appeared in his dream ever again.
