Standing Next To You-Chapter 342: Boyfriend

Several students were chatting on the sidewalk. With the arrival of spring, they were able to shed their thick coats, lightening their mood considerably.

As a group of lively students passed by, they noticed a parked car at the curb. A girl in their uniform was leaning against it. When they looked closer, they immediately recognized her.

"Hey, that’s the tyrant!"

"What? Where? Oh my goodness! That’s really her!"

"I read on the forum that the tyrant had joined the commuters. But since I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I didn’t believe it. Who would have thought I’d see it today?"

Tian Shen High had two entrances. The main entrance was for the teachers and faculty, including privileged students who didn’t have to wait in line. Most of these people had cars to pick them up.

The other entrance was for regular students, where both cars and commuters waited in line to enter.

Today, this group of students had arrived late and did not intend to attend the self-study morning class. Thus, there was no line, and most students were already in their classroom.

There had been posts in the forum before about the tyrant being sighted in this area several times, but only a few students had really witnessed it. For those who had, it always felt too incredible.

"But why is she just standing there? Could she be waiting for someone?" another student asked. Their steps became slower as they gazed at Bei Sangyun from afar.

"It’s obvious. She must be waiting for Fei Chuan."

"Wow. So they really are going out."

"They haven’t announced it yet, but the whole school already knows about it."

The group of students stared at Bei Sangyun as they passed by. It was very rare for them to see the tyrant up close. Usually, she was surrounded by the students in the star sections. These students, from lower sections, didn’t often get the chance to see her up close.

Bei Sangyun was oblivious to their gaze. She was on a call with Butler Xin.

Butler Xin summarized what had happened between him and Lin Ginxian.

"I thought he was going to force it out of me. I was kind of prepared to be tortured, honestly," Butler Xin commented.

"I told you, you don’t have to worry about it. Lin Ginxian doesn’t have the guts to commit a crime in the old man’s territory. He’s a cowardly villain."

"It’s really incredible that you seem to know more about him than I do. I’ve worked with him for a decade and thought I knew him well. But I guess I can’t beat you."

Bei Sangyun smiled. Counting her past life, she had been with Lin Ginxian for more than two decades.

"Anyway, what will happen with the third branch now?" Butler Xin asked after a while.

"Just wait. He’ll be busy with the first and fifth branches. Once he successfully dodges the bullet, he’ll come after us. We can talk about it then."

Bei Sangyun wouldn’t go after any of these people as long as they didn’t provoke her. She was willing to be patient unless they really wanted to quicken their demise.

The two talked for a while. When Bei Sangyun saw Fei Chuan approaching from afar, she decisively ended the call.

She took her bag from the car and ran towards Fei Chuan. Under the gaze of the students, she called out loudly, "Boyfriend!"

Fei Chuan heard the loud call and glanced up. Bei Sangyun was running towards him with a grin. Her long hair glistened under the sunlight. Two cute dimples showed at the corners of her smile. Her eyes were curved up, and she looked really happy.

Her smile was so contagious that Fei Chuan couldn’t help but smile as well.

He took large steps towards her, "Don’t run. You might fall."

They met halfway. Bei Sangyun’s grin widened, "I have already fallen for you."

Fei Chuan: "..."

He was made speechless again by Bei Sangyun’s pick-up lines.

He scratched his burning ears and tried to change the topic, "Have you been waiting for me? I told you to wait inside the room. Or you should have waited inside the car." Although spring had come, the morning breeze was still a bit cold.

Bei Sangyun walked side by side with him, "I couldn’t wait to see you."

As the couple walked towards the school entrance, the students behind them watched with wide eyes.

They knew already that the two were a couple. But...today was just...different. There was a huge difference compared to what they had seen on the forums.

"...Did you hear that? Or did I imagine it?"

"No. I heard it too. But I don’t think that’s what’s more important. Did I just see the tyrant smiling? Is that really the tyrant?"

"Yes. I saw it too. I also saw the usually stern male god smiling gently at the tyrant!"

"Oh my goodness. This is a huge scoop. We should have taken a photo!"

The students who had witnessed the earlier scene were too stunned to move and could only watch the two being lovey-dovey. Only when they disappeared did they return to their senses.

They immediately opened the forum and posted the incredible scene they had witnessed.

Anything regarding the tyrant or Fei Chuan on the forum would immediately rise to the top. It was the best-selling gossip in the forum. So, after a few minutes, the post garnered thousands of views and hundreds of comments.

[anonymous2: The tyrant called him ’boyfriend’? What’s surprising? Aren’t they dating already?]

[anonymous45: To the commenter above, I want to ask, in all the time they have been ’dating’ as you said, have you heard the tyrant call Fei Chuan her boyfriend? Although the two are always together, they haven’t announced that they are dating yet.]

[anonymous17: I agree. I have a feeling the tyrant will announce it today. Everyone, be prepared.]

[anonymous56: Should I keep the broadcasting room open? The teacher always locks it during class hours. Fortunately, I’m an important member of our club. I have the key.]

[anonymous89: Our cheerleading squad will prepare a congratulatory message.]

[anonymous156: We, the computer club, will prepare something as well...]

[anonymous114: We, the cooking club, will join in the fun too...]

[anonymous8: We don’t usually participate, but we, the book club, will have to join.]

[anonymous87: Our club will join in too...]

In the span of a few minutes, everyone at the school learned that each club was preparing a congratulatory event for the couple. The students always loved activities that had nothing to do with their studies, so they immediately joined in the fun and cooperated with their clubs.
