Standing Next To You-Chapter 310: To be Real

The sky was clear and blue. The field of flowers swayed in the breeze. The air was refreshing, filled with the sweet scent of flowers and grass. The sound of running water was music to the ears.

Oh, there’s a butterfly. So pretty.

Oh, there are birds in the sky, how wonderful.

That rock has moss, looks tough and gorgeous.

The grass was so green. So exquisite.

Everything was suddenly so beautiful.

Bei Sangyun had never taken a closer look at nature nor realized that the world had such vibrant colors. Now that she did, she discovered that the world could actually be beautiful.

She glanced at the youth beside her who had remained silent after his sweet words. Fei Chuan was also staring at the surroundings. She wondered what he was thinking.

After ’confessing,’ he remained rooted in his seat and turned silent. As if drawn by nature, he kept staring everywhere except at her.

Since he had said what he wanted and finished the food, there was nothing more to do. Thus, he just sat and pretended to admire nature.

Bei Sangyun chuckled inwardly. The young Fei Chuan was still new to ’dating’ and was probably racking his brain about what to do next.

Bei Sangyun hugged her knees and stared at Fei Chuan.

Well, she didn’t hate this kind of silence. As long as Fei Chuan was by her side, her world felt comfortable and full of life.

Bei Sangyun watched Fei Chuan with a burning gaze.

The youth’s side profile was really handsome. He had a tall nose, thin pink lips, and long lashes. He was still young, but his sharp features were slowly forming. His well-defined sharp jaw and Adam’s apple were becoming more noticeable. Years later, this handsome charming youth would have even more defined features and turn into a man who could make anyone blush with a single glance.

Before he turned into a Casanova, she should take the reins and not let go.

"...Can you stare somewhere else?" Fei Chuan suddenly turned to meet her eyes, the back of his neck and the roots of his ears turning red.

Bei Sangyun leaned her chin on her knees. "I want to stare at my ’boyfriend.’ In case this is a dream, I want to etch this scene in my mind."

Fei Chuan paused at the word ’boyfriend.’ His cheeks burned red. He had no words to refute and could only grit his teeth to endure Bei Sangyun’s burning gaze.

Bei Sangyun was mesmerized by how his flawless clear skin suddenly turned red. Fei Chuan’s skin looked pale and a bit sickly, so when he blushed like this, it was very obvious.

She couldn’t help but tease him more. "Why are you shy? Is it because I called you my boyfriend? I am your girlfriend now. So you can call me ’girlfriend.’"

Then she smiled slyly. "Ah, right. Don’t couples have pet names? We should also have one. How about ’Munchkin’ and ’Honeypie’?"

Fei Chuan looked at Bei Sangyun in horror. "Never."

"But we should have one. We are a couple."

"We are a couple because of a bet. And it is only for a month."

Bei Sangyun: "..."

If anyone heard them, they might think it was her who made the bet and asked the other to be her boyfriend.

Bei Sangyun’s smile faltered a little. "A month, huh."

Fei Chuan sensed that her mood had suddenly changed. She was smiling, but the mood somehow turned cold.

He might have said something offensive, so he added an explanation, "I mean, everything has its end. Feelings and emotions grow and expire as well. Since I want to entertain these bizarre feelings, I am giving it a month."

Bei Sangyun’s smile turned even stiffer.

Expiration? Bizarre?

"We are only on day one, yet you’re already thinking about how our relationship will end?" Bei Sangyun’s tone grew colder. She narrowed her eyes dangerously at Fei Chuan.

Fei Chuan was confused and a bit taken aback. He inched away from Bei Sangyun.

He gave a sincere explanation. Why did she get angrier?

"Families can break apart. Marriages can end in divorce. Relationships like this can also end. I am just telling you this so that when we part ways, we don’t have any unnecessary feelings attached--"

Bei Sangyun’s eyes gleamed fiercely. She suddenly pulled Fei Chuan and pushed him back towards the ground. Fei Chuan was caught off guard, and before he could respond, Bei Sangyun’s face appeared an inch away from his.

"I am going along with this because I liked the idea of us being in a relationship. I understand that your feelings are confused, which is why I agreed to figure this out with you together. But it depends on me how I want to treat this relationship."

Fei Chuan held his breath. Bei Sangyun’s face was so close that he could see his reflection in her eyes. Those fierce gazes looked at him so determinedly as if he was locked within those pupils.

"I want this relationship to be real. Even though it is only a month for you, we will treat each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. We should do what couples do, like in a real relationship. Because our relationship is real."

Fei Chuan swallowed nervously. He couldn’t help but glance at those fierce eyes and her lips while Bei Sangyun was talking. Her warm breath made it hard for him to breathe.

"...What couples do?" he questioned, repeating her words in a daze.

"Yes. Exactly what couples do. Like holding hands--" Bei Sangyun held his hand and raised it above his head, interlocking their fingers.

"--hugging--" She leaned closer until their noses touched. In Bei Sangyun’s burning gaze, Fei Chuan’s wide eyes were reflected.

"--and kissing."

She then leaned down to capture Fei Chuan’s lips.

Fei Chuan’s pupils reflected the magnified face of Bei Sangyun. Her face was coming closer, and his heart pounded loudly.

Then he slowly closed his eyes, preparing to accept Bei Sangyun’s incoming kiss.

Bei Sangyun expected Fei Chuan to struggle and push her away. She left a centimeter distance between their lips as she waited for the expected resistance.

If Fei Chuan pushed her away, she would stop.

But there was no struggle or complaint from the man beneath her. He was still and silent.

Bei Sangyun was confused. She opened her eyes to peek at Fei Chuan and saw his shut eyes.

Bei Sangyun’s heart skipped a beat. Then her heartbeat pounded loudly in her ears.

He wasn’t...pushing her away.

He was waiting for her kiss.

Fei Chuan...was waiting for her kiss.

This realization brought so much joy to her heart that Bei Sangyun barely stopped herself from diving in and giving him a deep kiss. But the reason and resolve she had made days ago resurfaced at this moment.

With every bit of control she could muster, she held back her burning desire to ravage him and placed her lips softly on his.

She kissed him gently and slowly.

Her kiss was tender, with only soft nibbling.

But this kiss was a hundred times more stimulating to the young man beneath her.
