Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

This scenario was not supposed to be this steamy! She was not ready for this. Yu Tian was putting too much pressure on her shoulders. But that was not what was on her mind.

His body was practically covering hers; he was pushing her down on the soft bed. In one day only, why had they gone from talking to holding hands to pecking and now this? Her heart was ready to come out of her body!

The worst part of it was she was not panicked about it but was rather enjoying this closeness. He was so warm, his body heat was transferring to hers through their clothes.

Was she really this trustful of him that he won't go through with it or was she secretly looking forward to it? She seriously could not sort her feelings out. If it were the latter, how would she spend the next one month with him?

Was she going to crave him everyday like this? Her blush intensified on this thought.

Yu Tian had not planned to do anything like this either. He had been restraining a lot for her and for his own sake too. This whole situation right now was his own fault.

But now that they were here, what was the next step supposed to be? And his anger was not subsiding either. What was he supposed to do with this girl? She should be apologizing right about now but she didn't seem to regret her decision at all.

Plus, those old geezers! There were a few including that old man Xiang who had called him saying that he was now in their debt for their support to both him and Mei Qingyang that day and they wanted to bed this girl after he was done having fun with her.

He was not as angry on them for thinking of him this way as much as he was disgusted on how they thought about Qing Qing. How dare they covet her as a s.e.x toy??

His already peaked anger flared up more and he felt like crushing those bastards. In his anger, he didn't realize how low they both had sunk in his bed.

And the girl's pure marble green eyes were staring at him without any distrust. Like she knew nothing bad was going to happen to her. What if he had given into his craving for her and sullied her? Would she still trust him the same?

They both were going through their own thoughts in their minds when they heard a knock on the door.

"Ahem! Did I come at a wrong time?", Su Lang stood at the open door, smirking like he had caught them red handed.

Yu Tian abruptly stood up from the bed and Mei Qingyang turned her head away to hide her expression.

Yu Bufan hurriedly followed behind Su Lang, "Young Master Su, Master Yu might be busy…"

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, he instantly understood that he had done wrong. His master might severely punish him later. His master had finally decided to court a girl but he had let young master Su in and he barged upon the couple. He wanted to bury himself in a hole.

"No, you are here at very correct time.", Yu Tian went back to his cold self and spoke to Su Lang meaningfully. Su Lang picked up the intention in his friend's words and became serious. Sure, it had not been much time since he discovered this foster cousin of his but he had come to truly care about her.

And she was about to be in trouble just now. He did not appreciate this move from his best friend.

"Can you give us two some time Yu Tian?", Su Lang spoke unhappily.

Great, now things were becoming awkward between everyone.

Yu Tian nodded and left the room promptly. He came out and heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad that he did not take the step that would probably scar Mei Qingyang for life. He did not have her consent yet and this was something he had to keep in mind all the time. He went to the kitchen to drink a glass of cold water and calm himself down. Apparently, just a glass was not enough, for he ended up chugging down a full jar of it.

"Qing Qing, are you alright?", Su Lang came forward and took a seat beside Mei Qingyang on Yu Tian's bed.

He checked her face and arms to see that her wounds had been properly dressed.

"You fool! What was the need to do that reveal show? Had this brother of your died? What will uncle think of me when he hears what you did?", he knocked her forehead with his knuckle.

"Brother Lang! Why don't you both understand? If I didn't get out of there yesterday, it would have been my death. These scars are nothing but you did not see her eyes. She just wanted you guys to see my… my disgusting scars, that's why she spared me. Otherwise, she was definitely in the mood. That was nothing in front of saving my life.", she spoke in one breath. It was getting so hard to explain herself to these guys.

Yu Tian wasn't ready to listen and Su Lang was also scolding her.

"And? I would have stayed with you my dear sister. She would not dare touch you then.", he held her hand and stroked it to placate her down.

"On what basis brother? The night was fine, you bribed the guards and it was Yu Rong's wish anyway. But what would have you said in the morning? You had no reason to stay.", Mei Qingyang exclaimed. Su Lang did not have an answer to her question.

"Alright, alright, as long as you are doing good.", Su Lang gave in pretty easily. He knew this girl had made her decision after thinking for long. Otherwise which girl would want to go through that?

"Brother, can you get me out of here?", Mei Qingyang took one of Su Lang's arms in her hands and waved it cutely, like a kid throwing a tantrum.

"Why? Do you have any discomfort here?", Su Lang scrunched up his brows. Was Yu Tian not being good to her? Given the situation he had stumbled upon earlier, something must have happened.

Mei Qingyang shook her head. "Senior Yu is taking so much care of me but I don't want to incur Yu Rong's wrath by staying here. Can't I stay at your place? Us being cousins, there would not be many rumors given our relationship is out in open now.

Yes, after Yu Rong had gotten to know the relationship between Jiang Nuo and Su Lang, everyone somehow had automatically got the information. It was pretty evident how the piece of news got out.

"Is something on your mind Qing Qing that you are not sharing with me?", Su Lang probed a bit further. Why was she so reluctant to be here?

"If you are not willing then it's okay. I don't care anymore.", Mei Qingyang gave an ambiguous answer. Not wanting to further argue, they rested the topic then and there.

"So, now tell me what is going on between you two?", Su Lang deviated a bit from the topic but didn't leave it off completely. When he had arrived, he had noticed strange atmosphere. He was not happy in the position he had found the two but the environment wasn't exactly congenial too. Did they have a fight?

"What do you mean?", Mei Qingyang averted her eyes from Su Lang.

"Qing Qing, to be honest, Yu Tian is a great guy, he is my best friend. I would love to see you two get together. The only problem is, you guys belong to two different worlds." Su Lang thought it was the right time to give her the pep talk she needed.
