Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Fan Ruyi initially took the group of 10 people to a bunch of rooms with big machines like MRI, X-Ray etc. and explained how a few of them worked. Mei Qingyang's class for electrical engineering had 40 students in total. Each of the group leaders were given 10 students each to take care of. It was great that Yu Rong had already given instructions to the professor on how to distribute people into groups and she had got eight guys and two girls. She was not sure why Gu Jiujiu was put in the same group as her although her cousin, Gu Layue was put with Yu Tian.

Actually, earlier when everyone had the breakfast, a specially made drug by herself was mixed in all of the food. Fan Ruyi had created this drug as a part of her project at one of study abroad programs last year. This drug would make anyone groggy and tired but would make sure that one does not actually fall asleep after taking it. It was kind of being intoxicated except that there were no harmful ingredients in here. The drug's effects would kick in two hours after being taken because the ingredients were hard to assimilate by the human body. Pretty convenient. The only problem was that it remained in the system of the taker for six hours in total and could be detected in blood. She had something else in her mind for her project but she had discovered this formula accidently and kept it for the future use. It finally came in handy today.

Thankfully, no one had noticed that Mei Qingyang was given a separate tea along with her friends that had an antidote to that drug. Wang Hao also played a great role in keeping an eye on her, so no one could accuse any of them to give her a preferential treatment. And he was also given the antidote so that even if he suspected anything and got himself tested right away, he would not get any positives for any compounds.

She knew that because of Qingyang, Wang Hao was going to keep an eye on their group, rather than anywhere else. All she needed was to create enough diversion.

"Are you guys alright? Do you guys want to take rest?", she asked of everyone out of concern. They had been moving around for about two hours now and the effects had finally started showing up. It was just enough because she was also making them run around and take stairs rather than elevators.

"Ms. Fan, it would be great if we could take rest. I suddenly feel really tired. I need some water.", one of the guys went away saying this to find some water.

"Okay. I will give you guys a half hour break. Why don't you guys get some coffee or snacks and we will reconvene here after thirty minutes, okay?" It was time for Fan Ruyi to execute her second plan.

"Okay!" Everyone agreed and dispersed. Only Gu Jiujiu and Mei Qingyang remained and Wang Hao hiding in the shadows.

Now Fan Ruyi had to do something drastic to make Wang Hao go away. She did not give signal for Mei Qingyang to go just yet because her and Qingyang, both were aware of Wang Hao spying on them from behind the wall.

"Hey girls, do you want to see something really cool?", she questioned both Qingyang and Jiujiu.

"Senior Fan, whatever you show us is going to be cool and awesome! I would be honored to learn from you." Gu Jiujiu tried using some flattery to win some brownie points from Fan Ruyi.

Fan Ruyi got disgusted from her behavior and glared at her coldly. Gu Jiujiu got her cue to shut her mouth and not speak a word again.

"I got this custom made from Japan.", Fan Ruyi took out a pocketknife kind of thing from her pocket.

"It has all the basic medical tools, so if I really need something like, say, scalpel, I can use this. I will open it in a bit, it's just a bit hard…", she tried opening it up using force but it did not seem to be working.

*If you use the scalpel once, your other tools in this collection would be useless unless sterilized. If one tool touches blood, how will you use the other tools?* Mei Qingyang wanted to point out. Such an intelligent lady got such a useless tool. Wouldn't it be better to just get a kit with all the tools in it? Unless…

Wait, why was she not giving her the signal? Was she waiting for Gu Jiujiu to leave? What was the point of taking out such a stupid thing? What was she trying…..

"AAAAAAAAAAA", she didn't even finish her thought and heard a shriek from Gu Jiujiu. She flung her head to see what had happened and saw a lot of blood on the floor. Qingyang looked at the source and found that Fan Ruyi's hand and wrist were full of blood.

"What…. what did you do senior Fan?", Mei Qingyang could not wrap her head around what had happened in one moment she was not paying attention. Wang Hao came from behind the wall rushing. He took her hand and checked. It was a deep cut in the middle of her palm.

"Mr. Wang, can you call the general physician, Dr. Ma from first floor? He must be preparing for surgeries in his office and would not pick up his phone. You could ask any of the nurses to help you. Please bring him faster, I don't want this cut to scar.", Fan Ruyi urged Wang Hao.

"But, I could dress the wound, you can instruct me. Where are the other nurses at this time? Tell me where the first aid kit is!", Wang Hao was reluctant to leave the supervision he was entrusted to. But this was a dire situation and the blood was not stopping.

"I am feeling dizzy Mr. Wang. I think I have lost too much blood. I might need blood infusion. I need Dr. Ma here, right now!!!", Fan Ruyi was visibly getting paler by the moment. Her lips had parched, and she looked like she could faint anytime soon. Seeing such a problem, Wang Hao rushed to get this Dr. Ma.

In the meantime, Fan Ruyi gave the signal to Mei Qingyang to leave. Mei Qingyang denied her because she was worried about her wrist. She would not leave her here with this Gu Jiujiu alone!

"Gu Jiujiu, can you bring me some water please? If you walk to that corner, you will find a water dispenser. Get me warm water in one of the cups. Thanks!", Fan Ruyi spoke very lovingly. If anyone deserved a best actress award, it was Fan Ruyi. She was so cold a moment before to this girl but now suddenly was amicable.

"Yes senior!", Gu Jiujiu scurried away to find water on such an earnest request from her senior, although she was tired as well. In crisis, even the strongest became a docile puppy, who was this Fan Ruyi?

"Leave Qing Qing, this is your chance!", Fan Ruyi ordered Qingyang.

"But how can I? You are bleeding so profusely! You didn't do it on purpose, did you? I don't see any nurses around here, nor any system to call anyone at this place. Had you planned this since the beginning?", Mei Qingyang eyes slightly reddened.

"It does not matter. Wang Hao would have informed the first nurse he must have come across to help. Also, Dr. Ma would be at cafeteria this time. He has strict one hour break everyday where he doesn't even answer his pager. His assistant already knows something like this was going to happen, so he won't convey it to him even if the pager beeps. You need not worry. It's a small injury. There are two people to handle it. Go!", she again urged her.

Mei Qingyang's eyes became full of determination seeing how this girl was ready to spill her own blood for her. This person was too good to be her friend.

"I will wait for the nurse to come. I can't leave you alone with that Gu girl.", Mei Qingyang took out a first aid kit of her own from her bag and started cleaning her wound.

"You girl. I said I would be fine. Your time with that servant girl would be greatly reduced if you waste time here. See? Yu Tian is coming here too.", Fan Ruyi smiled seeing how Qing Qing was working so hard for her.

Mei Qingyang looked behind and saw Yu Tian walking in large strides. He had his cold face still on. The other students were sounding far behind in the straight corridor. Perhaps because they were still under the effect of the drug, it was just hard for them to catch up to Yu Tian.

"You go, I will take care from here.", Yu Tian instructed.

"Thank you senior Yu Tian, senior Fan Ruyi. I shall pay this debt to you someday. I will be back.", she hurried away to reach the top floor.

"Why would you go that far for that girl?", Yu Tian asked hesitantly to his best friend. He took her hand and took over from where Qingyang had left.

"Silly boy, do you really think I am going this far for her? It's all for you!", Fan Ruyi laughed and patted his head.
