Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Senior Yu. I don't know why you are asking me such absurd questions. When I already said I have never been to places like a school before, how can I know Senior Feng before coming here? Are you making fun of me?", Mei Qingyang scoffed. This guy was unpredictable. Sometimes, he acted so warm and friendly, that she would fall in an illusion of him being the best guy out there. And other times, he would just act like a jerk, like right now. She had already said she had no relation to the school, why was he not believing her?

"Oh, never mind then.", his voice was full of a little disappointment. He got up to leave.

Mei Qingyang pouted inside and almost shouted at him. "So, you will ask me a bunch of questions and leave me hanging without answering mine? Won't you tell me what's going on?", she glared at him coldly but by the end of her question, had mellowed down a lot. Nothing would come out of having warm feelings for this guy. Why, why did this guy make her so frustrated?

"I heard from Fan Ruyi that she heard you calling a name Xiao Xi in your sleep. Do you know who Xiao Xi is?", he questioned her arrogantly. He had detected the hostility in her voice earlier. They both had become cold to each other once again.

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

"You…. you're kidding right? You are talking about that Li girl?", Fan Ruyi opened her eyes so wide in astonishment that it seemed like they will pop out of her lids.

"Yeah. You don't remember 'Xiao Xi' at all Ruyi?", Su Lang inquired her.

Su Lang, Feng Yue and Fan Ruyi were sitting in the living room of their secret place, enjoying a few drinks in the middle off the day. It was weekend and they did not have much to do. Fan Ruyi had insisted on knowing why everyone was so surprised after hearing 'Xiao Xi' at the hospital.

"I had no idea. I mean, I knew her, I knew she used to call Feng Yue Xiao Xi. But I did not even remember her, much less make the connection.", Fan Ruyi was still in a shock. Li Sibao was a girl from a prominent family in the M nation. She was engaged with Feng Yue because Feng Yue's grandfather had given his word to Li Sibao's grandfather when they were born. Other than the grandfathers being friends, there was not much of a relationship between their father's generation. Feng Yue's parents were more open minded and did not believe in arranging their children's marriage in advance. So, they always had encouraged Feng Yue to do whatever he wanted.

However, Feng Yue had always been interested in the quiet and lovely as a flower Li Sibao. Unlike other girls around him, who only looked at his fame and looks, she was the one who truly understood him. She was from a similar background but she never had any schemes against him or his family. She always treated his family as his own too, although his parents did not really like her.

She did not act as an overly delicate flower either, throwing tantrums or crying when scolded. She carried herself with elegance and was a very kind person. They were very supportive of each other. She was also admitted to the school with Feng Yue, more to take care of him.

Li Sibao used to call him Xiao Xi lovingly, Xi for happiness which was also one of the meanings of his name Yue. Feng Yue really loved his name and he wouldn't even let these three use this name for him. Li Sibao never got inducted in the group though. She used to say she did not want to make Fan Ruyi uncomfortable. They, even Fan Ruyi herself, had tried to tell her it wasn't a problem. But there was something that only Li Sibao could see. She was very m.a.t.u.r.e and preceptive for her age. The four friends failed to understand why she would point Fan Ruyi out.

Unfortunately, the business of Li family failed. Around that time, both Feng Yue and Yu Tian had gone abroad, leaving behind Li Sibao alone to defend for herself. Feng family had refused to help them. Li Sibao disappeared, leaving a deep scar on Feng Yue's heart. No one had known that Feng Yue was actually in love with Sibao. They were always under the impression that he was forced into this marriage arrangement and his aloofness was a proof that he did not want to get involved with Li family. His family never told him what actually happened. This had also strained his relationship with his family, especially his brothers, whom he had always thought would have his back. By the time he had come back with Yu Tian, he only came to know that Li Sibao was declared dead.

Now suddenly a girl appeared in front of them, who had amnesia and called Feng Yue's long lost name. Was this girl related to Li Sibao? Their first thought was that Mei Qingyang was Li Sibao herself. But then, her name, her manners, her face, and especially her eyes, nothing matched to Li Sibao. The only thing that was similar in both the girls was their height and how strong willed and principled the girls were. But that did not really tell anything.

Feng Yue was lost in thought. He was pretty excited to think that there was a faintest possibility that his girl was alive. It did not matter if her face had changed, he would still love her from the bottom of his heart. No wonder his feelings towards Mei Qingyang was always weird. In his heart, he had already thought of Mei Qingyang as Li Sibao. Fan Ruyi glanced at dazed and seemingly happy Feng Yue and bit her lip.

"Ugh… this is so confusing but utterly unbelievable. This seems like a reincarnation plot of some Chinese novel. What is Li Sibao transmigrated into Mei Qingyang's body or something? Should we ask her to get a DNA test?", Su Lang suggested, almost in a mocking tone. The situation was ridiculous to everyone.

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

"No! I am not getting any tests done whatsoever. And Xiao Xi is such a common thing. Why would you associate me with this Li Sibao in the first place?", Mei Qingyang said resolutely. She heard the whole story from Yu Tian. It was bizarre that he was willing to explain the whole thing to her so calmly.

"But it would help you to know if you truly are Li Sibao or not. Why the hesitation?", Yu Tian was puzzled. Would anyone not want to know about their past? She was getting such a good opportunity, what was the problem?

For Mei Qingyang though, it was different problem altogether. It was one thing to get these tests done if she had her memory. Right now, her identity was in jeopardy. And if it does come out that she was actual original Li Sibao, then what? What about her new family? And what about old one? She did not even remember their faces.

And assuming that this school had something to do with original Li Sibao and her apparent death, if Yu Rong, so even gets a wind of this thing, she would definitely come after her. It had just been two months here and she had not collected enough evidence against her and her deeds. Plus, she would rather consult her dad about something like this.

"No, not happening.", she repeated herself with much more determination in her eyes and heart.
