Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"What!", everyone present exclaimed. Fan Ruyi's assistant was the hacker Z, number one hacker in the nations and one of the best hackers in the world.

Having the spotlight on himself suddenly, when he had never really appeared before the crowd made the guy nervous.

"How do you know that?", asked Fan Ruyi in astonishment. This girl was sharper than she thought, she even deduced her assistant's identity?

He was a guy she had picked up from an internet café. She had fled her home one day when she was a teenager to try gaming when she was trying to be rebellious. The guy had taken pity on her terrible gaming skills and taught her many hacks to win those. She had later realized the guy was a genius and after consultation from her coder classmates, she had come to know that the tricks the guy had taught her could only be known if the guy had studied the game code in depth.

She had gotten a background check done on him only to find that he was another orphan. She took him under her wing, supplying him with everything he needed to grow. The genius in him evolved into hacker Z. He had helped her and her hospital multiple times with his skills. She had also made sure to give him enough freedom and never interfered in the assignments he took on his own. But he was a shy personality and making him her assistant was a huge risk for her.

Fan Ruyi remained adamant on her choice and ultimately the guy became her assistant. He often talked about this girl he had been helping and teaching advanced hacking techniques. He was the happiest when he talked about her, so Fan Ruyi had decided to support him in his pursuit. Who would have thought that her assistant would suddenly receive a message from that girl while Fan Ruyi was on her internship assignment that she had joined this school and was on a mission she could not talk about?

Fan Ruyi was looking for an excuse to come back to Feng Yue anyway, so she decided to help her assistant out. Thus, they came back to this school. Now that she thought about it, this girl was the reason she could come back to the school. And she was the only one who could solve the knot in Feng Yue's heart. Why did she do what she did? Now she was regretting her decision even more.

"It does not matter how I know that. I am thankful to him for saving my a*s so many times, even on the day when you guys brought me to the hideout. I know he made sure my camera tricks work perfectly.", she nodded towards her assistant in gratitude. Her parched, almost purple lips formed a slight smile, however her eyes remained aloof. The guy was delighted that his pupil and friend recognized him and acknowledged him, that was enough.

"What are you guys talking about? What camera tricks?", asked a curious Su Lang. But he also realized that this was not the time to solve mysteries. He could always ask about hacker Z from Fan Ruyi or the guy himself. What was more current was to treat Mei Qingyang's wounds and plan on how to take her out.

"Yu Bufan, bring the first aid kit.", Yu Tian had gone to his usual cold and aloof self now. He would only show his loving side to this girl. This girl, who was a ray of sunshine in his dark heart. How could he let something like this happen to her?

He glared at Fan Ruyi like he wanted to kill her. He knew she was behind his beloved's suffering but he had no idea that Yu Rong would go to this extent.

To support her, he was holding one of her arms. Now, he gripped her more tightly on the thought of Yu Rong using her whip on this girl. Mei Qingyang gave him a puzzling look when she saw him frowning.

"Senior Yu, listen to me. I am glad you came here, but you know the best that if you take this step, Yu Rong would not only hurt me more, she will also take some step against you. So please leave me alone. You and cousin should leave now that you have met me. I am fine.", Mei Qingyang shuddered at the thought of the fate Yu Tian was going to suffer. This result was against Yu Rong's expectations, they did not run away in disgust. And this would make her mad.

"Yu Tian is Yu Tian but I don't care. Let's just say I helped you out.", Su Lang held Mei Qingyang's hand in his and patted it gently.

"But cousin…", Mei Qingyang wanted to protest.

"No, it is decided. We won't let her do anything more. We will rescue you by tomorrow morning. I will stay with you here tonight lest that witch comes here in the middle of night to do something to you.", Su Lang said with a resolve in his eyes.

Mei Qingyang's heart was touched. She felt so warm inside and hot tears were once again on the verge of falling. But she held herself back. She also needed to make at least Yu Tian leave from here.

"Alright, I will accept your offer cousin, I just hope you would be able to endure the harsh conditions. It's quite chilly in here.", she said cheekily.

"Hey, I can always borrow your blanket, you know?", Su Lang replied chuckling.

Yu Tian once again scowled at him. "I will take your own clothes away if you spout nonsense.", he said in a cold tone.

Su Lan covered his body with his hands, "How cruel!"

Mei Qingyang chuckled lightly and everyone's mind felt at ease after seeing her mood becoming better. Yu Tian personally treated her wounds after much convincing. He did not allow Su Lang to see any part of it. Mei Qingyang was quite shy about it but the guys had already seen her, there was nothing she could do.

Although Fan Ruyi was also present at the scene she was treated as air by all three people. She stood in the corner whole time, watching the procession and accepting her fate of having alienated herself from her own friends. She clenched her hands, what's done was done.
