Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

After a few introductions, the class started as normal. It seemed that the three of them indeed had taken up responsibility of being a TA, either solely or in pairs for all the classes Mei Qingyang was attending. Were they not being too deliberate in their dealings? They were definitely acting as spies now.

Mei Qingyang had not encountered any other person who was taking all the classes as her, so she had to be the reason they were doing this. Although, she knew she was placing too much importance to herself, a lowly person in this school, there was no other way to explain this.

In the afternoon, before the start of her last class, she was approached by Gu Jiujiu again. She decided to ignore her as usual.

Gu Jiujiu snatched the book she was reading and said loudly in front of the class, "So, how does it feel to have the legendary trio as your TAs in all your classes? Are you enjoying the attention?" She then went on to throw away the book and snicker at her own actions.

Mei Qingyang was really getting bored of these childish things these guys were doing. Couldn't they just come up with more innovative schemes?

She gave an unempathetic look to Gu Jiujiu and calmly said, "It does feel great. If you know that they are doing this because of me, don't you think if they see you bullying a poor me like this, they will come after you as well? You remember that guy from swimming pool right?" If this is how they wanted to be dealt with, then so be it.

"You…." Gu Jiujiu was speechless. Everyone present, who was preparing to enjoy the humiliation of this girl, stiffened a bit. Indeed, they all had the same thought in their minds. Not everyone was a fool here. The trio was doing this for her and everyone was jealous. They never thought that Mei Qingyang could turn the tables with just one sentence. So, she was enjoying the attention after all.

Mei Qingyang sensed the change in mood of everyone, including Gu Layue, who was enjoying the show a second earlier. Her face had turned pale from the realization that any action against Mei Qingyang might incur the wrath of Yu Tian. But they still did not know the intentions of the three Gods and they could actually just be keeping an eye on her. And the possibility of this was much greater than them caring for her.

Thinking till here, Gu Layue could not help but be proud on her intelligence. She laughed, "You think too highly of yourself Mei Qingyang. Do you really think they are concerned about you? We still don't know their intentions, so you should not be relying on support from them."

Everyone relaxed after hearing Gu Layue's words. Indeed, they were too stupid to even listen to this poor girl. Gu Layue was the most intelligent person here, she could not be wrong.

Mei Qingyang applauded Gu Layue in her heart. At least, she could think a bit.

"Well, I was not the one who was asking about all the attention I am getting. I guess you guys are feeling threatened already by my existence." Well, nonetheless, it was fun to be provoking the whole class. She did not know what she would get out of making the whole class her enemy but it's not like she would face any different fate if she were to try to remain harmonious with them. She would have still suffered bullying from them.

"Mei Qingyang. I will give you just one advice. Do understand that the teachers are also not sure about the attitude of the three guys towards you. I am pretty sure that the professors would have figured out by now why they had requested to become TAs of these particular classes. Once they know that it is just to keep an eye on you, even they won't stand with you. No one enjoys the company of a lowly person. You are just spreading your filth here, nothing else." Gu Jiujiu was enraged by how calm Mei Qingyang was. Did she never get riled up?

Gu Layue was a bit proud after hearing her cousin's jab on the poor girl. She, the most intelligent in the Gu family and the next heir, was herself nurturing Gu Jiujiu. Obviously, she would display some sort of tactic here. She was waiting for Mei Qingyang to tremble with fear on hearing the truth of her situation. She looked at the poor brat but only found dead calm and indifference in her eyes. *Why? Why was this girl so confident? Did she really have backup of Yu Tian? But when she last met Yu Rong, she was not happy with this girl at all. There is no way she had support of Yus. Then was she missing something in her analysis?*

Suddenly, a realization dawned upon Gu Layue. If Yu Rong had wanted to spy on this insignificant fly, there was no way she would do it in such a high-profile manner. She could have used just any normal student. Moreover, she never had power over any of the guys, especially Feng Yue and Su Lang. It was a far-fetched idea that Yu Rong urged Yu Tian to take help of the two guys and keep an eye on her.

Even if she did and Yu Tian agreed to her demands, they would again not do it themselves but use their own men or other students. Why would they need to take a step by themselves? What were their intentions? This just meant that they might have their own agenda regarding this girl and their impression might be more favorable than she had calculated earlier.

Furthermore, she had heard rumors of Yu Tian personally taking this lass on school tour. What did that mean? Oh no! She might have taken a hasty decision just now to speak against her. She should have controlled her jealousy and just watch the show. Never mind, whatever happened had happened. She would need to take more precautions from now on and not get into this girl's trap. Who would have thought that one little sentence from the brat would elicit such response from otherwise poised her? This girl was good in scheming, alright.

Throughout her thought process, Gu Layue's expression changed so many times that the spectators were really worried now. What if, this poor girl implicated every single one of them? To think that even ever gentle and intelligent Gu Layue had to do so much analysis, this nut was definitely hard to crack. Everyone in the class was waiting for the verdict.

Mei Qingyang was also amused by how hard Gu Layue was trying. But she knew that if it ever came to it, Gu Layue would prove a worthy opponent for sure. She was a bit slow but ultimately knew how to make good decisions based on sound analysis. There were too many factors here to hinder her progress and she needed to be on the top of everything to avoid her plan failing.

Anyway, Mei Qingyang had arrived at the same conclusion as Gu Layue. She did not need to take much stress because the guys were trying to evaluate her intentions of joining the college as well. She did not have much knowledge about her enemy but the other party did not have much idea about her either. Moreover, she had advantage of Su Lang being her cousin, she could easily get some information out from her dad. Now what was left was starting to pan out to the whole first year rather than just her class for shelling out information.

As for the professors, she was not too worried. She would just do her best in the classes and even after that, if they gave her hard time, she would deal with them as with the students in her class. By the time they would think of messing with her grades, she would have enough proof

The rest of the class went normal and as happened in other classes, Yu Tian was here as a TA for this class too. Mei Qingyang was getting a bit sick over seeing him again and again and knowing that the three guys were here for her.

Not only that, this was just the first day. She would need to unfortunately bear with this for the whole semester and perhaps whole year. She was also getting frustrated with all the attention this was bringing to her. She was supposed to be doing a covert operation here. She decided that she needed to talk with these three after all. She could not really wait to figure out what these guys were up to. She needed to show some of her cards to determine the hand of others in front of her.
