Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

I wish I could leave these memories behind that have been haunting me for life. But these have become a part of who I am. I still can't come to terms with them, perhaps because the memories reflect my current condition too.

Then, one day, she appeared out of nowhere. She was a breath of fresh air in my gloomy life. Again, she looked nothing special, just an ordinary woman. But her spirit was of a warrior. Independent and brave and… kind. Her kindness towards anyone and everyone has probably charmed me the most. She doesn't even care about herself at times.

I am well aware what had transpired last night. While she slept with her back against the head rest, I woke up to find myself in her arms. Silly girl had slept at some point of time. Why was she so careless around me? Did she not see me as a man? 

"My dear kitten, why do you go through such discomfort for me?" Yu Tian got up and c.a.r.e.s.sed her face. Till now she was half sitting because of the support from his body from the side. As soon as he got up, she fell down on his shoulder.

"This is just fine," he chuckled and sat in contemplation for some time. What expression would she make when she would realize what she did in the night? He had noticed that his shirt was open. He was in a habit to sleep shirtless to begin with but since the day this girl arrived, he had to be considerate of her.

If he suddenly started walking shirtless in the house, one, she might have gotten spooked and two, she would see his scars.

It was in vain in the end since she ended up seeing them like this. Given her intelligence and firsthand experience with Yu Rong's whip, she would know what these were. Would she reject him then? What if she chanced upon the whole truth?

Yu Tian clenched his fists, that wench! When would he get out of her reach?

"Ugh, please don't worry senior Yu, everything will be alright," she murmured in her sleep. Her breath tickled his ear and he was able to hear her clearly.

Surprised, he looked at her, if she was awake and consoling him once more. Why was even one word from her so comforting? At that time, he had been re-living what he went through very frequently. Only that he was dreaming of his childhood. 

Just one touch on his forehead from her was enough to fill that dreaded space with warm yellow light, instantly dispelling all the darkness. Was she an angel?

And why would his heart start beating so fast whenever he looked at her? She was going to make his life difficult in coming days. How was he going to interact with her from now on?

She looked a bit uneasy in the position, so he helped her lie down comfortably and tucked her in the blanket. It was becoming quite cold these days. He had to make sure his kitty was safe and sound.

Now this girl was lying so defenselessly that if he wanted to do anything to her, no one would stop him. And that is why he was more afraid. He had to control himself so much right now but his body was slowly reacting to her. That was an involuntary reaction and he could not do anything about it. The more he looked at her, more d.e.s.i.r.e was taking him over.

If he ended up doing something regretful, this kitty, who had finally started opening up her heart to him would definitely hate him. In the end, he ended up in his shower, cold water pouring on his toned body in this cold weather, just to calm himself down.

His night was spent looking at her innocent and peaceful face. He could not sleep at all, knowing that the girl he liked was lying right beside him. All he did the whole night was just stare at her and drawing her silhouette in his mind from time to time. He wanted to etch everything about her in his heart and wait for the day when she would reciprocate his feelings.

In the morning, the sun was illuminating her body which was facing the window. He wanted to close the curtains for the direct light might have made her uncomfortable. That petite stature, how he wished he could just hug her from behind. She looked so divine lying right there.

He was lost in his thoughts when the girl suddenly turned to his side with her eyes wide open. Even her scream was so cute. She seemed to have forgotten for a moment what she was doing in his bedroom and it was so much fun to tease her. He feigned ignorance.

"I woke and saw you in my bed. I was startled too," he had replied to her.

At the expense of teasing her, he would not forget to tell her how much he appreciated her. And so, although she was fleeing from his bed, he had to stop her. And thank her.

Her bashful red face was so enchanting, that he could not resist planting a kiss on her neck in the end. She had tucked her hair away, baring her slightly red nape. Who would not be tempted by her action like this? He wished he could do more. He could only see her thin red lips but again, not wanting to scare her away, he had to control.

Her green marble eyes, that were losing focus because she did not know what to do next made him chuckle. In the end, she did run away but these small moments were the ones that were bringing p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to his life right now.

He had wished for a longer suspension for her, so that he could just keep her at his house forever. Unfortunately, that would not sit right with anyone including Su Lang. Was he reporting everything to Minister Jiang? He was a poor guy too.

He was being charmed by his little sister. But then, he was always fond of Jiang kids. All he would talk about was Jiang Bo when he was alive. Su Lang also had this thick wall around him which only six people were ever able to break, including him, Fan Ruyi, Jiang couple, Jian Bo and now, Mei Qingyang.

But that was also because of this lass's traits. She had not particularly done anything for him, yet he was still enamored by her.

Which is why these two were ready to face any obstacles for this girl. She was worthy of taking pains and having in life. And today was going to be another battle since they were meeting Yu Rong to take permission from her for taking Mei Qingyang out of the school.

Yu Tian put on new set of clothes and went out to have the breakfast his lass had prepared for him, mentally readying himself to meet his aunt. Su Lang was also sitting at the dining table when he came out of his room. Mei Qingyang was already serving the breakfast to her brother.

Yes, this was the picture, the picture of a family, that Yu Tian wanted the most in his life. He smiled looking at them both and headed towards the table with a light and fluffy heart. He loved this warm feeling enveloping his whole being.
