Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Mei Qingyang woke up refreshed after a tiring previous day. The mattress they had provided was very firm, just the way she liked. They probably put the stone like mattress in her room intentionally. But what they did not know was that she had gone through harsh military training and was accustomed to sleeping on hard floor. This was a piece of cake for her.

Since she was being given the school tour by the celebrity himself, she decided to dress a bit better than yesterday. Of course, she would not be able to match Yu Tian in any terms. But she did not want to embarrass him and herself in front of others. No matter what, this was going to be a highly publicized event or her and him. He was he heir to the school; his activities were definitely a topic for the whole school to gossip about. And he was about to take her on a school tour very openly.

She put on a beige t-shirt and dark blue shorts highlighting her slim figure even more. For make-up, she just used her red tinted lip balm and she was ready to go.

They had decided to meet in front of the dorm building where they collided the previous day at 6:30 am. Yu Tian was of the opinion that the school was so big that they should start early, only then they would be able to finish in time. Even then, he was only planning to show her only main attractions. This huge city like school was basically impossible to cover in one day.

Mei Qingyang was an early riser, so she was happy to comply. It was 5:30 am right now and it being the beginning of August, the sun was almost starting to come up. Mei Qingyang decided to take a walk nearby. She did not need to adjust the feed of her cameras, since Yu Rong would see her out and about anyway. So she left the room as it is and stealthily came to the gate of the building. She did not want to startle or wake up anyone with loud noises. Moreover, she had no idea if there were any alarm triggers to the doors for all the celebrity kids were in this building.

She had scouted a bit and tried to find more information about the school through internet yesterday. First of all, they had put restrictions and more spying mechanisms to even her internet supply. Her network was totally separate from the school network and gave per minute feed to her service provider about what she was accessing on the internet. She really applauded Yu Rong to have taken more precautions against her.

Nonetheless, she was easily able to crack open all the security measures of theirs and once again, misguided them. She had been able to get quite some information thanks to all this brain flexing. It turned out that the building she was put up in was dorm for engineering college students. There were similar big buildings for other departments like medicine, humanities, sciences and law.

There were smaller dorms for high school, middle school, elementary schools and then a few servant headquarters where early education happened for poor kids. Now that she had some idea, she knew what to look for and what questions to ask Yu Tian during her tour today.

She tried to find a way to open the glass door of the building without setting off any alarms, just in case there was any attached to it, when she noticed that the door was fully open. When she looked up, she found that Yu Tian was standing there. It looked like he had opened it for her.

"Thanks!" Mei Qingyang whispered in a low calm voice, still careful of waking anyone up and incur their wrath. She just did not want to deal with more rich brats on such a beautiful morning.

"I usually go for gym at 4 am and then come out for a casual walk at this time." It seemed that this girl was the only one capable of making him utter a few words.

*Why do I feel like explaining my presence here to this girl? I don't want her to misunderstand that I was waiting for her. Yeah, just so that she does not get a wrong idea.*

"Oh! I came here for some fresh air as well. It's a bit stuffy inside." For some reason, she found herself warming up to this guy. She usually was a quiet person, liked to stay aloof. She would not really talk to people unless absolutely necessary. Being a person of fewer words always helped her, not only with staying out of trouble but also maintain a mysterious aura.

She was not planning to place any importance to this guy, although he was basically the big boss here. But her behavior also did not make any sense at all. She could have just nodded at him in acknowledgement and just continued from here. Why did she need to go all out to explain her being so early here?

She was not really wrong in her explanation. There were only a few small windows in her room in the bas.e.m.e.nt. She needed lights even in the afternoon. She was dreading the winters and how she won't get any natural light inside her room.

"Should we start the school tour now then?" Now that both them were here anyway, Yu Tian proposed to start the tour early. He had not gotten any background information on her yet and did not know how she fit in the whole school system. He had also gone back yesterday and ordered his subordinates to do a quick and quiet background check on her.

Nothing had come out of it. But that was also because he did not have enough connections for such a confidential request. If Yu Rong were to know that he had done something like that, she would not leave this girl alone at all. Since nothing had come up till now, he would wait and also enlist help from his two best friends. Right now, he was eager to shell out any information from her today.

"Oh, we can do that? I thought you had a fixed time that you agreed on with your aunt." Mei Qingyang wanted as much information from him as well. But she was most curious about this 'duty time' they had talked about earlier. She could not ask him directly but she wanted to know really badly.

So, with a smile plastered on her face, she asked the most awkward question like it was a normal conversation. Although, she had shown here natural cold side to everyone till now, but she had to pretend to be social to start doing her research. Which meant asking questions, good questions, diplomatic questions.

"Oh, that. Nothing like that. I have one full day for the school tour." Yu Tian face had darkened. A pained expression passed through his eyes. It did not escape Mei Qingyang, so she decided to change the topic.

"Well, that's great! Where are we going first then?", she tried to sound excited to make sure Yu Tian didn't misunderstand. But since she had naturally been an aloof personality, it was becoming more awkward for her. Nonetheless, she could definitely have polite conversations with people.

"Let's take a walk towards the other hostel buildings all the way back of this place. I'll show you the market and then the school arena and at last, the sports facility. Rest, I'm sure you'll figure it out as time passes by." Yu Tian could not help but get amused by the contrast he saw in her from yesterday and relaxed a bit.

"Sounds like a plan. Let's go!"
