Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Hearing Fan Ruyi's statement, Yu Tian got stunned for a moment. Understanding the meaning behind, the aloofness around him melted and he sighed. In a moment of impulse, he hugged her with a curt smile.

"You don't need to hurt yourself for that. I am fine on my own.", he whispered to her.

Gu Jiujiu had just arrived at the scene. Seeing such amiable atmosphere, that too around Yu Tian, she almost dropped the glass of water she had brought in shock. She had never seen Yu Tian make that face, even for Gu Layue. There were rumors about Fan Ruyi and Yu Tian being together. Wasn't this just a confirmation of that?

But most important question for her was, where was Mei Qingyang. Wasn't she also the rumored servant that Yu Tian had taken a fancy to? Was she just a mistress then? Then, Yu Tian was a playboy all along?

"Se… senior Fan Ruyi. Where is Mei Qingyang?", she shivered while asking the question. But Yu Tian looked in a good mood, so it was okay to ask the question, right? If she didn't report her disappearance to Gu Layue, she would not give her that coveted limited edition Gucci bag she had been eyeing from her collection.

Yu Tian did not like the disturbance. He reverted back to his arctic self and questioned her, "How is it any of your business where she ordered Mei Qingyang to go, hmm?"

Gu Jiujiu got so frightened from his glare that she almost peed her pants. Luckily she had just used the restroom, otherwise she would have embarrassed herself in front of these two. In the meantime, the entourage from Yu Tian's group had also arrived. Gu Layue was frantically staring at the two and then at Gu Jiujiu.

A few nurses had also come and took Fan Ruyi to nearest room to do emergency treatment on her. They cleaned her and put her on IV drip. She was resting right now but worrying about Mei Qingyang. She could not sleep at all.

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

Mei Qingyang rushed to the nearest elevator as she had discussed with Fan Ruyi. She kept a vigilance around, just in case anyone spotted her. She took the elevator and arrived at the room without any hiccups. She did meet a few nurses on the way but they all thought she was a visitor since it was visiting hours.

She knocked on the door and went inside. The rooms on this floor were all private suites with all amenities including a small kitchenette and a private bathroom. The girl was staring outside and her eyes were lifeless, just like once she had been. On hearing the door, the girl turned her head.

"Are….. are you sister Mei?", the girl's voice quivered and eyes widened. She could not believe what she was seeing.

"Hey, how are you doing?", Mei Qingyang nodded and inquired about her health awkwardly.

"Bu… but were you not of my status as well? How did you sneak out of the school campus?", she had heard bits of what had happened from the nurses who had been told about her condition by Fan Ruyi.

"Hehe. I always have a way. I am sorry I could not bring anything for you.", she took a chair nearby and sat down beside the bed. She still could not meet the eyes of this girl. She would feel guilty for her for the rest of her life.

"Sister Mei, I thought that now I have been deemed dead, I would never be able to see you. I wanted to thank you for saving my life.", big tear droplets started falling from the girl's now clear eyes.

"I… I am sorry. I could have handled things better and you would not have to go through the horrible thing you did. If it was in my hands, I would have beaten that Qin guy too. But I am really very sorry. I know my apology cannot give you your innocence back. But….", Mei Qingyang was rambling on and on and on. Her eyes had also reddened and her voice was trembling a bit too. She choked on her own words.

"Sister Mei, you do not need to feel guilty. Whatever happened was my fate. This had to happen sooner or later anyway. It just got delayed when you saved me at swimming pool. Otherwise, I would have been r.a.p.ed that day only.", the girl paused thinking about that day. She looked at Mei Qingyang whose head was still hung. She continued, "In a way, you saved me twice already. And now I am out of the school too. I won't ever have to go back there. Sister Fan will take care of my expenses and she has promised me to give a job in her household. I can't be thankful enough."

Mei Qingyang looked at her. She was merely a teenager. But one incident had grown her up into a m.a.t.u.r.e person. This was the time she should be enjoying her youth, make friends and go to school.

*What has her life turned into, ah! And there are so many kids in that school in a similar situation, who have already come to terms with their fate, just like her. I have to do something about them. I have to expedite my research and take actions as soon as I can.* Mei Qingyang made a resolution in her mind.

"Guess, you come to a decision huh?", the girl was observing Mei Qingyang and knew when the look in her eyes changed.

"Uh-huh. Thank you for being alive girl. I will keep in touch with you through senior Fan.", she patted her head.

"I should be the one thanking you, not just for myself but on behalf of all the people you are going to save in future. To be honest, now I don't mind being the guinea pig for whatever is to come. Because I know, you will succeed.", she took Mei Qingyang's hands in hers and patted them sympathetically.

They talked a bit more about her grave injuries and how her bruises everywhere had started to heal. Hearing that everything was going smoothly for this girl, she felt relieved. Her heart felt lighter too.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard a very familiar voice which alarmed her out of her mind. "What are you doing here?"

*Wang Hao!! The whole plan just got ruined. Can't even run away to hide…*
