Standing Next To You

Because the purpose of schooling was to have the young master experience a happy childhood, Grandma Pei wasn't picky with school and chose the nearest one here in the village. She enrolled the young master in the first grade and did not make him skip grades even though the young master had the ability to.

The nearest elementary school was the one in the town. Grandma Pei decisively enrolled the young master in the same class where Bei Sangyun was.

....

It was the second week since the start of the school year.

Bei Sangyun happily strode to her classroom. She was quite happy because she has meat in her bun!

Holding her cloth bag that contained the meat bun her grandma made, Bei Sangyun keep down the urge to eat her lunch so early. She had to treasure this.

The stingy Grandma Bei put meat in the bun today for a reason. It was to make up for Bei Sangyun after losing her taste for a long time. And also, to celebrate her 'recovery'.

After the fever, Bei Sangyun lost her sense of taste. She suffered for a whole week before Bei Sangyun and Grandma Bei realized that there was something wrong with her.

Everything she ate and drink tasted nothing. Sometimes, it tasted like dirt or clay.

No matter what kind of herbal medicine or remedy Grandma Bei made, she could not cure Bei Sangyun's strange illness.

Bei Sangyun was distressed. The most painful part of being tasteless was not being able to enjoy food.

Grandma Bei was so worried that she used all her savings to pay for the doctor. But right before they left that day to look for a doctor, Bei Sangyun's sense of taste returned.

She could finally eat in peace. Since things returned to normal, Grandma Bei sighed in relief. She thought Bei Sangyun's tastelessness was a side effect of her fever last time. After all, it occurred after she got a fever.

But before she could relax, Bei Sangyun's tastelessness returned. Her bizarre illness was on and off for the whole two months. Bei Sangyun's condition was so strange and alarming that Grandma Bei did not hesitate anymore and looked for a doctor.

However, the doctor in the small clinic in the town did not have wide medical experience. He could only cure some illness that was quite known. Bei Sangyun's strange condition was difficult to determine.

The doctor only prescribed some medicine. But he still advised them to go to a bigger hospital so they could further examine Bei Sangyun's illness.

But how could Grandma Bei and Bei Sangyun leave the village and go to the big city?

They need to travel by car the whole day before arriving in the developed city. Not only did the journey cost money but getting checked in the hospital required huge money too.

Grandma Bei had no such money.

Fortunately, before Grandma Bei fell into deep worries, Bei Sangyun's illness suddenly disappeared one day.

At first, they thought it was like the other times when it would return the next day. But after two weeks, it did not come back.

Bei Sangyun could finally enjoy eating again.

She can finally eat wholeheartedly!

She dearly wished that the strange illness will totally disappear.

Bei Sangyun was in a good mood as she waited for the class to start.

However, her happy mood turned into shock and wonder after the teacher came with a familiar boy. She introduced the boy behind her in front of the class.

"Everyone, this is your new classmate. Fei Chuan, introduce yourself to the class."

The beautiful boy who had a stern expression like a little adult said indifferently, "I am Fei Chuan, nice to meet you."

The class was very lively with the arrival of this new classmate.

This group of kids had never seen such a fair and beautiful boy. Fei Chuan had lighter skin than the other kids. Perhaps because he looked a bit pale and was raised like a treasured flower in a glass case, he was more delicate than most girls.

Fortunately, his aloof and arrogant temperament made his fragility diminished. He was like a young sickly prince who was detached from the world.

His clothes, shoes, and bag were all high quality and branded. So he stood out among these children.

Children were curious of new things. They were also visual animals who were easily captivated by something beautiful and pretty.

So Fei Chuan, the new boy, had become famous overnight.

Everyone surrounded him and wanted to play with him.

Bei Sangyun glanced at him in the corner of her eyes. She was also affected by the atmosphere. If she did not encounter Fei Chuan before, she would be the first one to talk to him and play with him.

However, Fei Chuan did not like her and doesn't want to be friends with her. If she talked to him now, she might be scolded by him or be ignored.

Bei Sangyun pushed down her curiosity about Fei Chuan.

However, Bei Sangyun did not expect that Fei Chuan's arrival changed her school life.

The appearance of Fei Chuan in the first grade had create huge changes in the classroom.

Before Fei Chuan arrived, Bei Sangyun was the smartest in the class. She had the most points when it comes to reading and recitation.

Since most of the children here were her classmates in kindergarten, they were used to witnessing Bei Sangyun answering questions that they don't have any idea about.

In this class, Bei Sangyun was unrivaled. And Bei Sangyun enjoyed the privilege of being the smartest in the class.

However, Fei Chuan's arrival changed everything.

Fei Chuan was smarter than her. In every recitation, Fei Chuan would also raise his hand. In every exam, Fei Chuan also had perfect scores like her. He even finished it earlier than her.

Her classmates' admiration and awe towards Fei Chuan increased. They even rate Fei Chuan higher than Bei Sangyun.

What was more difficult to see was the teacher that always praised and was a bit biased toward Bei Sangyun had now favored Fei Chuan.

This situation continued until they graduated grade one and reached grade two.
