Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Ahem! So Yu Tian, now that this problem has been solved, can you introduce us?" Su Lang was very curious about this girl. It did seem like she had caught fancy of this friend of his who seemed as.e.x.u.a.l from the beginning. He had never shown any interest in any human being before. This girl must have had some special charm if Yu Tian was agitated enough to protect her like this. What was her identity?

"Are you an idiot?" Since Yu Tian was holding Mei Qingyang, he had not seen her expression. He had heard her quivering fearless voice earlier and some switch went off inside him. He reacted without even thinking. He was confused as to why he was so angry with her actions but he needed to tell her that she can't be taking such risks. What if he was not there to protect her? His heart had really stopped when that guy had tried to force himself upon her.

Earlier he had let her go to issue a punch to Zhang Shi. Suddenly worry took over him and he grabbed her again to check if she was alright.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her, he yelled at her again, "How stupid can you be?"

A combination of anxiety about her health and anger over her actions made him totally irrational.

The person who would not even bat an eye for any incident was here, all over this girl. Su Lang and Feng Yue could not wrap their heads around the change in their friend, who they had met just yesterday morning. What did this girl do to their friend in one day?

A still agitated Yu Tian took two steps towards Mei Qingyang. She felt a bit intimidated and backed two steps. He kept moving forward until her back was against the wall. She could not understand his actions at all. She blinked her doe like large eyes in confusion.

*Was he mad because I tried to pick a fight with rich kids? Directly a kabedon? Don't do this to me ah! I am sure we can talk in a civil manner!! What is his deal anyway?*

He slammed both his hands on the wall trapping her between his long arms, "You are not supposed to fight when there are so many people around. No, you're not supposed to fight at all. Only one person was enough to harm you. Where was your common sense?" His blood was boiling inside. *How did that guy even try to touch her? I am going to destroy him…* This kind of feeling was ludicrous to himself as well. Why was he angry anyway? Why did he care so much that Zhang Shi had just tried to kiss her? Even the thought was enraging.

*Ugh, need to vent this frustration out somewhere… I hate this feeling.*

"..." Mei Qingyang was speechless. Here was Yu Tian, in this dark room, lit only by the filtered sunlight from the big glass window, giving her lessons…. on whom to pick a fight with? Wait, was she hearing him correctly?

"Did you want me to just do nothing and let them destroy that poor girl?" Tears formed on the rims of her eyes when she thought about that girl. She finally encountered what she was afraid to find about this school. Those rich brats, who were all of college going age, were going to molest a teenage poor girl for their entertainment. More unfortunate was that there were girls too in that group of 20. Basically, nobody cared about a small life, just because they, no, their parents had money.

"But what if that harmed you?" Concern for the girl was apparent in Yu Tian's voice and his two best friends were really seeing this side of his for the first time. They were even more eager to know the background of this girl now.

"I am sorry, but I couldn't just bear their behavior. We poor people are just lacking in money, that doesn't give them a right to do whatever they wish with us, ah…" Poor Mei Qingyang was explaining her justified actions to this unreasonable guy. Like, someone should give lessons to these rich brats about poor people's point of view.

Looking into her spirited eyes, Yu Tian was unable to fathom her thinking process. Why would someone put themselves in jeopardy for another whom they did not know at all? His face darkened a few shades more.

If his friends two knew what he was thinking at this moment, they would have facepalmed so hard. Ah Yu Tian, were you not doing the same eventually?

"Cough cough, you guys….. If you guys are done Yu Tian, would you care to introduce us?" Su Lang coughed playfully, acting as if he was hurt because Yu Tian ignored him earlier.

Both of them had totally forgotten about Yu Tian's friends in the room by now. Realization dawned upon Yu Tian how aggressive he was behaving. He immediately released Mei Qingyang, as if caught red-handed in a theft and became his usual cold self again.

Registering her own predicament and joking tone of the guy, a faint blush appeared on Mei Qingyang's wheat colored cheeks. She just wanted to disappear right now. She kept her eyes lowered still because she was kind of excited to have a few more characters to get acquainted with and learn more about this school. Within two days, she had already seen quite a few things and it was time to gear up her research into this place. It would be detrimental if they discovered her feelings right now.

Yu Tian welcomed both his friends and introduced Qingyang to them. "This is Mei Qingyang and joined us yesterday as the new superintendent of the dorms…"

"Wait, what? A superintendent?" Su Lang interrupted Yu Tian and spoke in very exaggerated manner. Who would voluntarily come here just for that? "Waaah lady, how brave of you! Don't you know what happened with the previous one? You got a death wish for yourself?"
