Standing Next To You-Chapter 210: Who is that boy?

The students supporting Bei Sangyun fell into silence. Wang Jia’s words, though harsh, were hard to refute. It seemed challenging for the tyrant to triumph over Lin Sunji this time.

If only she had chosen Jang Shin as her escort, winning the title of Queen of the Night would have been assured. However, without him as her partner, success appeared improbable.

The students sighed collectively, silently conceding to the apparent reality. The King of the Night was unlikely to be bestowed upon that timid, gloomy loser. It just seemed impossible. They can’t imagine it.

Zhong Cheng who was listening unable to contain himself any longer, he broke the silence.

"Don’t speak as if the day is over. The Boss and brother-in-law haven’t arrived yet. I may not know about everything, but I’m certain that whenever they are together, they outshine all of us -including Lin Sunji and Jang Shin. They’ll be tomorrow’s headlines, mark my words!"

Wang Jia sneered, "Yet another blind fool. Your blind trust will come back to bite you later. Only a fool would choose to follow an illegitimate daughter."

Zhong Cheng, who never liked Wang Jia from the start, found himself disliking her even more for speaking ill of the boss behind their back.

"How about we make a bet then? The title of King and Queen of the Night will undoubtedly go to the Boss and brother-in-law. Whatever you bet, I’ll double it ten times."

Wang Jia agreed without hesitation. Confident that her friend Lin Sunji would be crowned Queen, she deliberately bet a substantial sum, aiming to deal Zhong Cheng, the top lackey of that woman, a significant blow. Once he couldn’t pay her back, she planned to turn him into her lackey instead.

As the two settled their bet, many students placed their own wagers. The students were divided, torn between Lin Sunji-Jang Shin’s team and Bei Sangyun’s.

When the Lin Sunji and Jang Shin arrived at the entrance, this scene awaited them.

The students were busy casting their votes for the two couples.

Lin Sunji overheard their conversation. When Bei Sangyun’s name was mentioned and a lot of people seemed to support her, Lin Sunji’s frown deepened.

Why were these people so persistent? It was evident that she should be the one shining tonight!

Lin Sunji barely had time to revel in her thoughts when the previously calm reporters suddenly became rowdy. Flashes of light illuminated the scene, and their exclamations were louder than when Lin Sunji and Jang Shin first appeared.

Hearing the loud commotion on the red carpet, Zhong Cheng’s eyes lit up.

"The Boss and Brother-in-law are here! They’re the only ones who can manage to stir up the crowd like this."

Curious, the other students rushed back to the entrance to see what caused the uproar.

A phantom white limousine was parked at the end of the red carpet, creating a frenzy among the reporters.

These high-profile students recognized the well-known car and were shocked.

Their amazement deepened when a tall, handsome youth stepped out of the car. His appearance was captivating, the deep blue suit enhancing his fair skin and making his black hair all the more striking.

However, it wasn’t just his handsome face that left everyone stunned; it was the youth’s demeanor. An aloofness and overbearing presence unique to legendary heirs, seemingly carved into his very bones.

Shockwaves rippled through the crowd. Did their school have a student like this? Who was this handsome boy?

The reporters went wild, and camera shutters clicked even louder.

Ignoring the commotion, the youth assisted a young lady out of the car. The moment the young lady was revealed, everyone’s breath was caught.

Bei Sangyun held Fei Chuan’s arm and glanced at the gaping reporters. She gave a light smile that didn’t reach her eyes, a smile that seemed cold and domineering. Then, she turned her head and continued walking down the red carpet, leaving the witnesses breathless.

As Bei Sangyun and Fei Chuan walked away, the reporters became mad with excitement again.

"Who are that couple? Find out who they are quickly!"

Additional Scene:

Grandma Pei was taken aback when Fei Chuan suddenly declared his wish to cut off his long hair.

She understood the reason he had grown his hair since arriving at this place.

Her Young Master was exceptional in every aspect. Even if he desired a low-key life in the mansion, with his striking appearance, the other young masters would likely find him too conspicuous, creating troubles for him and not allowing him to have a peaceful life.

So, she grasped the rationale behind her Young Master’s decision to adopt a timid and weak facade.

But it broke her heart as she watched him swallow down the humiliation he received whenever he stepped out of the mansion or the ridicule that was sent on his way whenever he attended the family’s banquet.

Because of the Young Master’s deliberate gloomy appearance, no one was willing to become his friend. He was always alone, sitting on the corner as if he wanted to be one with the shadow.

Now, her Young Master wanted to step out of the shadows and confront the challenges directly. This revelation caught Grandma Pei off guard and also made her anticipate.

"Young Master, are you certain?" Grandma Pei inquired once more.

Fei Chuan nodded solemnly, "I don’t want to live like this anymore. I’ve thought about it. I adopted this facade to live peacefully and grow without attracting unneeded attention. However, I’ve come to realize that it only made my life more difficult. I’m not a coward. I don’t want to be timid. That’s not who I am."

Grandma Pei sighed in relief. She almost teared up.

Witnessing her Young Master don that gloomy appearance was heart-wrenching. He was a celestial being among the young masters here, so why should he hide his brilliance?

Although she couldn’t persuade him before, understanding he was adopting this survival strategy, she supported him. Now that he wished to change and confront challenges head-on, Grandma Pei naturally stood by him.

"Young Master, whatever your decision, I will always support you. This timid and weak facade doesn’t suit you. You are destined to shine and stand out. I am elated to see you finally embrace your true worth."

’Please be happy, Young Master.’
