Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Alright class! Our dear TAs have planned a field trip for us to the Fan Hospital for next Wednesday.", the professor announced in the class the next day. It was a Friday today, so no one was paying attention. Everyone was busy planning their weekend.

"Why in the middle of the week? Should have kept it on a Friday.", one student grumbled.

"Yeah, we do not get many chances to go out. That hospital also happens to be near the beach. It could have been a great three-day excursion.", another student agreed.

There were very few chances for anyone to get out of this campus unless they were going home because one the campus had all the facilities from all famous restaurants to luxury brands for clothes and accessories. They did not need to go out for their daily needs at all. Second, it was a security issue. Everyone here, especially in the college, were high profile students. Going out without any reason would invite unnecessary trouble to them.

Also, the nearest city to this place was almost 100 kilometers away. It was too long a journey by road just for fun. Private helicopters and jets needed special permission from Principal, so those were out too. Now they could go with their classmates and enjoy a three-day trip, if only their TAs had that foresight.

And Fan family was famous for choosing resort like places for their high-profile customer base. They would provide exotic views and top-notch facilities for people who could afford them. And such places provided privacy as well.

"I know Senior Yu Tian is not a TA for this class, but is he going?", a girl interrupted everyone's dreams of beaches. Suddenly every girl's eyes gleamed and they looked forward to the answer. Su Lang scratched his head and nodded. The girls all became very excited. A few started clapping very loudly out of enthusiasm.

Mei Qingyang was perhaps the only girl who was running horses in her mind. She understood the method Fan Ruyi had come up for sneaking her out of the school and let her meet with the girl. But with the whole class, would she get a chance?

"Err…. so, all you will be divided in four groups. The four groups will be headed by Feng Yue, I, Yu Tian and Fan Ruyi.", Su Lang had just completed his sentence when the guys suddenly started clapping. Fan Ruyi, the number one beauty of the school was back? Earlier they had thought they were being taken to Fan Hospital because of close relationship of school with the Fan family. But turns out Fan Ruyi herself would grace them with her presence.

Gu Layue gritted her teeth. She now had not only one, but two love rivals. That Fan Ruyi was the only known person to everyone who Yu Tian had no problem touching. And this Mei Qingyang was second. Now there were two girls already in the queue, her chances were further decreased.

*Why did Yu Rong say yes to this trip? Won't it give Yu Tian alone time with either of the girls? I need to contact her to see what's her agenda.*

----------------------------------------

"You understand what we are going to do? I will put you in my group. And you can break away with the excuse of going to toilet. This is the access card to her room. Her room is on top floor. I will signal you near the correct elevator and the first room on right is hers.", Fan Ruyi told Mei Qingyang in one breath.

"Alright Senior Fan. Thank you very much for taking so much pain.", Mei Qingyang could not believe that this girl would execute it so early. Damn the efficiency of these people.

Fan Ruyi ruffled Qingyang's silky smooth hair, "Anything for you Qing Qing." She had committed it to heart that Qingyang had just called her 'Senior Qingyang'. She was now finally at the level with the boys. Su Lang had teased her so much for her obsession about striking a friendship with this girl. Hmph! Now she could tell him that she was in the 'senior' ranks too. Soon it will be 'Sister Ruyi' or just 'Ruyi'.

"Mention not. Oh, by the way, did you get to thank the boys?" Fan Ruyi put another piece of tofu in her mouth. Today was a Saturday and they were meeting at the same lake. Rather, she had stalked the girl to know where she would be at lunch. And shamelessly grabbed half of her portion for herself. This girl really knew how to cook. Her stir fry tofu was relishing.

"Not yet. They are so busy all the time. I have been taking so much help from you guys but I don't even have anything I could help you guys with., she lowered her head and took a piece of tofu with rice.

"You have no idea how you are helping us in so many different ways. One day, you will come to know for sure.", Fan Ruyi smiled towards Mei Qingyang.

She had never seen such a pretty genuine smile before. That meant, this girl was telling the truth. But how was she helping them? Perhaps she just said that to pacify her. Anyhow, she was just reluctant to show her face to Yu Tian. Whenever she encountered him since that day, she would flee away.

Yu Tian had even tried to stop her two-three times, but she had been ignoring him like anything. She knew she was being dumb and she needed to properly thank them. She decided she would do it after their hospital visit.

------------------------------------

"What are we going to do about this trip cousin Layue?", Gu Jiujiu has seen Gu Layue was tensed since the announcement but had relaxed quite a bit after she talked to Principal Yu Rong on phone.

"What do you want to imply Jiujiu?", Gu Layue was actually in a good mood. She had heard from Yu Rong that she could not digest Yu Tian going on the trip alone. So she was sending Wang Hao with them. That way, Mei Qingyang was definitely going to be in Fan Ruyi's group. She had to take this chance to be in Yu Tian's group and hog him for herself.

She also needed to make sure to put Gu Jiujiu in Fan Ruyi's group so that they could execute a few plans that Wang Hao would instruct them to. But she also needed to make sure Jiujiu did not really know what she was doing. An ominous smile appeared on Gu Layue's face which frightened even Gu Jiujiu. She left from her room at once.
