Standing Next To You-Chapter 324: Are you sulking?
Chapter 324: Are you sulking?
But keeping silent won’t do any good. So Fei Chuan tried to change the topic.
"...What is this about Fei Min?"
But his attempt failed.
Bei Sangyun pulled Fei Chuan closer to her.
"How the hell could you think that? How can you doubt me?"
Fei Chuan held Bei Sangyun’s hand, which was on his collar, and patted it reassuringly. "...Alright. Let’s talk calmly. People are watching us."
The two had outstanding visuals. They already attracted attention just by walking. But suddenly having a quarrel in the middle of the street made the passersby gawk at them as if they were watching a drama.
"Are they having a lover’s quarrel?"
"Tsk. Kids these days."
"Is there a filming going on?"
Bei Sangyun finally let go of Fei Chuan’s collar. She was a little embarrassed. How could she have forgotten her surroundings? She had lost her composure for a moment.
She glared at Fei Chuan while reaching out her hand to him, "Fine. Let’s leave this place first."
Fei Chuan hesitated to hold her hand. A lot of people were gazing at them. It was a bit embarrassing to hold her hand in front of everyone.
Bei Sangyun raised her brow, "You were holding my hand just fine earlier. Didn’t you just show off to Jang Shin our intertwined hands? What’s the problem now?"
Fei Chuan sighed. Right, Bei Sangyun was like a ticking time bomb right now, and it was his fault.
He couldn’t afford to be embarrassed right now.
He held her hand and hurriedly left the place.
Bei Sangyun and Fei Chuan found a park and chose a bench farther from people.
Fei Chuan was still holding Bei Sangyun’s hand. Whenever he tried to let go, Bei Sangyun would complain and tattle whenever she had a chance.
"You don’t want to hold my hand anymore? Is it because you are still doubting me?"
"It’s not that. My palms are sweaty."
"I like sweaty palms."
Fei Chuan: "...."
He could only switch holding her hand from his right hand to his left, while wiping his other free hand on his coat.
Bei Sangyun was satisfied. She was no longer annoyed.
Fei Chuan sneaked glances at her. Seeing that she was no longer frowning, Fei Chuan started explaining himself.
"I didn’t mean to think like that. It’s just that... he acted too intimately with you. He called you ’Sangyun’ so casually and said misleading things. He even gave you his number. Usually, you don’t even care about someone’s number. You would rip it apart and scold the person until they are ashamed. You usually send them away crying. So when I saw you about to accept it, I couldn’t help but misunderstand."
The moment Fei Chuan started expressing himself, he couldn’t stop. "And you agreed with him to keep a secret from me. I feel left out. I can’t help but overthink what you two are hiding."
Bei Sangyun was stunned. Her phoenix eyes blinked at him in surprise. "...Are you sulking?"
Fei Chuan paused. He straightened his mouth, which had unconsciously pouted earlier. "...I’m not. I am just telling you why I misunderstood you. If you hadn’t entertained him in the first place, none of this would have happened."
Bei Sangyun stared at Fei Chuan’s face, which was growing uncomfortable under her gaze.
"Actually, I turned him away when he wanted to join me. But then he said he wanted to talk about you. You should know, whenever you are involved, I would be a hundred percent interested. The reason I talked to him in the first place was because of you. So don’t sulk, okay? It’s kind of hurtful that you doubt me."
Bei Sangyun’s tone was full of sincerity.
Fei Chuan met her heartfelt eyes. His heart melted under her gaze. Bei Sangyun really had thousands of ways to make his heart flutter.
He squeezed her hands, wishing Bei Sangyun would realize how she could shake his world with just a few words.
"...I am to blame. I am sorry for doubting you," Fei Chuan genuinely said. He did not know what had come over him, but he wanted to be honest at this moment.
"You are beautiful. Strong. And you have this charm that makes everyone look at you. Any man would have a strong desire to win you over. And Jang Shin must think the same too. He likes you."
Fei Chuan couldn’t shake this feeling whenever he saw Jang Shin and Bei Sangyun together. It was as if he had watched them before, being praised by everyone, perfect for each other. While he was like dust, nowhere near them. He did not know why he had such thoughts, but he could taste the bitterness on the tip of his tongue.
"Although I know I am better than him in every aspect, I am afraid he might seduce you. And you might like him back."
Bei Sangyun was taken aback. She never thought Fei Chuan felt that way.
The prideful Fei Chuan actually felt insecure about Jang Shin? How come?
"You are better than him, ten times—no, a thousand times. How could I like him when I have a thousand times better version in front of me? I am not blind or stupid. There’s really no need to feel jealous."
Fei Chuan’s ears burned red. "...I am not jealous."
Bei Sangyun chuckled.
Yeah, right.
Bei Sangyun suddenly put Fei Chuan’s hand on her cheek. Fei Chuan was startled, but he did not pull his hand away.
Bei Sangyun leaned on his palm and looked into his eyes. She wished Fei Chuan could see how beautiful he looked through the reflection in her pupils.
"What to do, Fei Chuan? It’s only day two, yet you doubt me just because of a random man who is a thousand times less handsome than you. I’m not complaining about having a jealous boyfriend. I actually like it."
"I told you I’m not jealous. Misunderstanding and getting jealous are different matters," Fei Chuan tried to defend himself. He was getting embarrassed in each second.
Those eyes were too hot.
"Yeah, yeah." Bei Sangyun nodded, humoring him. "But we can’t doubt each other like this again. I’ve watched several dramas, and usually, couples face hundreds of trials. They doubt each other hundreds of times until eventually, they hurt and hate each other. We can’t be like that."
