A/n: This Chapter is fixed. Thank you for waiting.
*****
The sun rose, breaking the darkness and illuminating everything.
In the third branch’s mansion, Bei Sangyun sat up straight with dark circles under her eyes.
She blinked and realized that morning had co. She looked dazedly at the window.
Her conversation with Fei Chuan kept repeating in her mind and bothered her from night until morning. She didn’t even know how they ended the call.
All she could think about was Fei Chuan’s voice—deep and surreal. His words, sounding so innocent, confused, and sincere, made Bei Sangyun feel for the first ti what it was like to be fascinated by soone.
She discovered a new side of him. Bei Sangyun held her cheeks.
How could soone’s voice be so good?
Ah, she really wanted to see him now.
Bei Sangyun hurriedly got out of bed and instructed Maid Ye Zhai to help her put on her best appearance.
As Maid Ye Zhai applied concealer under her eyes, Bei Sangyun asked, "Have you ever confessed to soone before?"
Maid Ye Zhai paused, and a wry smile appeared on her face. "...Young Miss, my love life is greyer than a blank canvas. There is practically nothing on it. But even though I don’t have experience, I’ve witnessed many people falling in love. I can still listen to your woes and might give you so advice."
Bei Sangyun believed Maid Ye Zhai. Maid Ye Zhai had no partner even at the end of her days, but her observational skills were quite useful. Recently, Bei Sangyun had been sharing her feelings with Maid Ye Zhai and asking her about relationships. They had ford quite a bond.
"Then, what should I do to give a person assurance?"
As expected, Maid Ye Zhai had an answer, "It depends on the person you are giving it to. If it’s soone who is always anxious, you have to give more attention to the other person. If it’s soone who always needs care, then you have to be more affectionate. You have to first think about what kind of assurance he needs so you can give it to him."
Maid Ye Zhai suddenly asked, "Is it about that Young Master?"
Bei Sangyun nodded and found soone to confide in, "He said he can’t process it because he found it too unbelievable that I liked him. I think I have been forceful, and I express myself too much. It must have been burdening him a lot. But he said he doesn’t hate it." A smile escaped from her lips when she recalled what he said.
Maid Ye Zhai saw the happy look on her face and subtly smiled, "If that is the case, then I think all you need to do is to express your affection in the simplest but sincere way. Show it one by one, slowly, until he can process it and understand that every action is filled with care for him. I am sure his heart will be moved then."
Bei Sangyun’s eyes lit up at Maid Ye Zhai’s words.
Show it slowly, little by little, in the simplest way....
"You are right. I always confessed to him every day, and all he showed to is his frowning face. Perhaps because I did not show it through action. So he didn’t believe . But when I kissed him, he finally understood I wasn’t joking."
The hand that was putting powder on Bei Sangyun’s cheeks paused. Maid Ye Zhai asked Bei Sangyun in surprise, "You made the first move, Young Miss?"
Bei Sangyun smiled arrogantly, feeling proud. "I kissed him. I took his first kiss. I gave him mine."
Maid Ye Zhai covered her agape mouth and inwardly squealed. If only she wasn’t a calm and collected person, she would have jumped in excitent.
But fortunately, Bei Sangyun understood that she was also feeling excited despite her lack of reaction. Bei Sangyun continued with a smirk, "I told him that if he doesn’t believe , I’ll kiss him again."
Maid Ye Zhai gave a thumbs up.
Bei Sangyun chuckled. Her heart was light and in a joyful mood after sharing her experience. She didn’t have any friends in the past and never had the chance to talk about things like this. To think a ti when she would also talk about her ’crush’ to soone else would arrive.
Was this the feeling of those girls gathering around with their friends and gossiping?
It actually feels great.
....
Bei Sangyun followed Maid Ye Zhai’s suggestion. Today, she would lay low and only show her affection through simple actions.
First action---
Bei Sangyun arrived in front of Fei Chuan’s locker. She arrived early today, and there were only a few students around in school. In the locker area, there was no one except for Bei Sangyun.
She looked at Fei Chuan’s locker and saw so of the blurry stains of the marker that those bullies left on Fei Chuan’s locker. Fei Chuan erased it, but despite cleaning it, the traces of the mark were still there.
Bei Sangyun went to the supply room, which was just behind the locker area. She found a can of white paint and took it.
.....
Second action--
Bei Sangyun arrived in the room. There was no one else in the room besides her. So of her classmates should still be at ho, or on their way to school.
Bei Sangyun hurriedly checked Fei Chuan’s chair.
There, she also found so faint traces of the black marker. Words such as ’coward’ and ’loser’ could still be read. Bei Sangyun prepared the paint.
.....
Fei Chuan arrived at school just right before the bell rang. The students were all inside the classroom, making the school ground seem empty.
After pouring out his feelings earlier on the phone, he felt strangely relieved and his heart beca at peace. At least his mind was no longer muddled or full of confusion. He said the words that ca from the bottom of his heart.
Even he was surprised to hear those words coming from his mouth. But all of it was true.
Fortunately, Bei Sangyun did not play around and remained silent, listening intently on him from the other side.
After the talk, Fei Chuan was able to sleep well.
But he still woke up quite late. After all, his eyes were too tired from looking at the laptop screen for a long ti.
Fei Chuan went to the locker area and imdiately recognized his.
His locker was always recognizable. Amidst the uniformly neat lockers, only his was full of vandalism. But today, his locker was recognizable from afar not because of vandalism but because his locker was stunningly white!
The row of lockers was uniford and painted in grey. But his was painted white. And it was spotless white and glowing, as if soone had just painted it a while ago.
Fei Chuan walked towards his locker and touched the handle. It was still wet.
He looked at the tip of his fingers that had the white paint.
Fei Chuan: "...."
He could easily tell who made his locker this way.
Fei Chuan sighed and took his handkerchief and used it to wipe his fingers first. But the paint on his fingers wouldn’t co off. He just let it be and used the handkerchief to put the key in the padlock and opened it.
Fortunately, nothing was touched inside.
Fei Chuan went upstairs and entered the room.
The first thing he noticed was the sll of paint in the room, then his classmates’ eyes on him.
Fei Chuan had cut off his hair, exposing his handso face that had been overlooked because of his ’gloomy’ appearance and bad reputation. During the hocoming dance, aside from the shock and disbelief that people had over his looks, no one managed to get close to him.
The girls who lined up to ask him for a dance were all rejected. And the event turned in a different direction when the incident about the ’Tears of rmaid’ being fake started.
After that, the busy week for the debutante arrived. They attended balls, banquets, invitations, tea parties, and many events left and right, trying to expand their connections and influence. Fei Chuan did not show up once, so they had forgotten about his outstanding appearance montarily.
But seeing him now, looking at his great visual and aura that only the noblest Young Masters have, made all of them once again realize that such a stunning man actually exists in the sa room as them.
And he was the loser that they had been looking down on before!
Those people who said that the target was a loser, coward, and ugly wouldn’t be able to say the sa thing about the current Fei Chuan.
Heck, they weren’t even worth of Fei Chuan’s jaded-like finger!
As everyone gazed at Fei Chuan in daze and awe, as if they were only seeing him for the first ti, the subject of their admiration suddenly frowned. His handso face contorted as he pinched his nose.
He walked to his chair, and his face crumpled even more.
He gazed speechlessly at the ’white, spotless, glowing’ chair.
His gaze then turned to the smiling person beside his chair.
Bei Sangyun smiled sweetly, "Good morning, classmate. Did you sleep well?"
Fei Chuan: "...."
’...Look at her, smiling sweetly and innocently, as if she hadn’t done anything wrong.’
Fei Chuan gazed at the chair again, and even without sitting on it, he could tell that his chair was still wet. If he sat down, his pants would get white paint all over them, right?
Was this her new way of bullying him?
Fei Chuan understood at this mont that even though Bei Sangyun said she liked him, her ’bullying’ wouldn’t ever go away.
Sigh.
