Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Her earnest speech moved Yu Tian very much. This was what Yu Bufan was talking about? Opening up completely, laying all his insecurities, his emotions in front of her?

The two people were still in each other's embrace, not wanting to let go. Where would they get such an opportunity to be this close to one another, without any restraints and have a heart to hear talk?

Mei Qingyang was looking at him, but hearing no words, she nestled her head in his c.h.e.s.t once again. This was reassuring to him that she was not angry or upset over the fact that he was still not ready to open up. Or was just trying to decide where to begin with. She had given him quite a few chances and all her knowledge about his own circ.u.mstances were self-attained.

He cleared his throat and was about to speak when Su Lang approached from behind.

"Ahem, I really did not want to disturb you two but we need to get going. There is a storm coming in and we need to reach the hotel within fifteen minutes," Su Lang tried talking to them from behind the hill but he had to come forward to tell them to evacuate immediately. No wonder it had started snowing. Ah! They both were regretting the short amount of time they got to spend together.

Yu Tian nodded from the side to let Su Lang know that they would be leaving soon. He whispered in Mei Qingyang's ears, "I am ready to tell you my side of story. If we get any time like this anytime soon, I will definitely tell you," he lingered a bit near her ear.

Why was the timing of everything so bad? He had made up his mind but he had to wait now, for the right moment. Mei Qingyang nodded her head. "Whenever you feel comfortable."

It was a great step for him to admit that he was ready. That was enough for her. They were making progress, taking steps in right direction. It certainly felt like a heavy load got off of her c.h.e.s.t. She could put more trust in this guy now.

The five people left their place as secretly as they had come. Wing had started howling by the time they reached the hotel. The professors did the counting and everyone was present. Thankfully, no one was stuck in the storm.

"Tsk, now we have to spend the time inside the hotel. What is the use of the vacation? I was spending time with my boyfriend too," people had started murmuring, everyone was gathered in the hall.

"I know right! It is Christmas eve too! I was going to finally propose to my girlfriend outside, not it's all ruined!" another guy was frustrated as hell. This irritation was widespread among the students.

Soon, Yu Rong came up on the stage and sensed the atmosphere. She calmly smiled and spoke in the mic, "Dear students, I understand your Christmas seems ruined. But worry not, we have plenty to do in the hotel itself. If you do not get top notch facilities here, then it's a disgrace to Yu family," she elicited a few cheers here and there.

"We are opening all the bar lounges for today. You can choose wherever you want to go, there are private soundproof spaces as well. There are multiple karaoke rooms and other games. You guys can enjoy all you want. The booze will be on us," now this was what was exciting to everyone. A loud cheer and clap thundered across the hall. Okay, there were things to do inside as well. Yu Rong did know how to appease her audience.

"And lastly, merry Christmas everyone. Hope you guys enjoy your stay here," she clapped twice and there was confetti shower in the whole hall. The students went into the mood of celebration once again, dancing to the music. A few eager couples left the hall and headed towards the most private spaces they could hag.

Since this was all arranged by the school, and the trip fee levied by the school was quite hefty but the same amount for everyone, all facilities here were first come first serve. At least, just at this point, no one was discriminated based on their wealth.

Yu Tian also wanted to find a private room with Mei Qingyang but looking at the hawk eyes of Yu Ring that were always following the movement of the two, the girl declined his invitation. She could finally go and sleep. And may be her secret agent might come and contact her again.

Although she had met him very recently and she liked to keep the contact minimum, she was not sure what was happening with her dad at all. Her worries never went away, did they? She had to see what vicious planning her dad was doing behind her back.

She retired to her room which was very obviously empty. She had no idea which faction Ma Shuxin belonged to, still. Or if she was working on her own. Anyway, she had time to figure this girl out since she had done no harm to her, yet.

"I am really not sure what I should do. I miss him the moment he is out of my sight," she took her pillow and opened her old laptop. She needed to distract herself, otherwise she would end up thinking about him again. She was a big fool, falling for Yu Tian so hard, what if it did not work out?

She hacked her dad's computer to search for what he was up to. She knew her dad did not keep anything on his computers because he had so many capable subordinates and enemies. He always liked to keep paper copies. But however careful he was, in this digital age, there was no way to not leave a trail behind.

She looked here and there for a few deleted records. It seemed her dad had hired another computer expert to really hide what he was doing. But she was also his dad's daughter. She carefully dug around and found a few obscure records of an unknown place.

"Yu Island" it said.

Was the name not familiar? From what she knew, Yu Tian's dad had established his base there and secluded himself with just one maid and one assistant. Even Yu Rong was not aware of the exact location of the place. And it did seem like she was not in touch with her brother for quite a few years now.

It was a passing thought but it shocked her to the core. Of course she was aware of the hatred her dad carried for the Yu family. But, it did not mean that Yu Tian was wrong. She did not even know Yu Ming's role in her brother's death. His main enemy was Yu Rong for which he had sent her here. Why was he prying into the whole Yu family?

No matter what, she had to make sure to protect Yu Tian. She would make him come out of it unscathed. That being said, she needed to research into this Yu island. She needed to remain one step ahead of her dad.

Perhaps asking Yu Tian would give some hint? But then, he had not talked to his dad in long either, or it felt like so.

"Tighten the watch on my dad," she sent an emergency message to her agent through her laptop. She usually did not do this, but she had to alert her people now. Her dad was definitely up to something and she needed to know what it was.

---------------------

"So then, what were you doing for half hour stuck to each other?�� Su Lang started his teasing again. This time Yu Tian did not bring other two with him.

"It was just comfortable like that," he replied, whiskey in his hand.

"What! Don't tell me you guys did not even kiss. Oh wait, she was not in the condition. Have you guys even kissed yet?" Su Lang frowned. What was up with this slow couple? They had admitted their feelings like hundred chapters earlier. Why had there been no progress till now? (Authors note: This author is as frustrated ah!)

"We… we have," Yu Tian had his face reddened when he thought about that night where both of them had almost lost themselves. It was just her rationality that saved them.

"Ohho. And then, after that?"

Yu Tian shook his head. But he was growing fonder by the day, that was a fact. It was hard to be separated from her. And although Yu Bufan had told him what to do, it was always better to take opinion from more experienced friend.

"Enough about me. You anyway know almost everything. How are you doing with your assistant?" Yu Tian had always felt the vibe but her suspicions were confirmed by Mei Qingyang.

"What about her?" Su Lang made a poker face.

"You can deny it all you want man, in your heart you know whom you like," Yu Tian gulped down the contents of his glass and slammed the glass on the table.

"Me? Weixi? Are you blind? Why would I be interested in her?" Su Lang was not sure how this guy got the idea.

"Qing Qing is very sure of it," he hinted his source of confirmation.

"That chit. Don't get any wrong ideas and tell that to your girlfriend too, okay? Weixi is my childhood friend. There is no way…" Su Lang denied fervently.

"If you say so," Yu Tian shrugged his shoulders and went back to work on his laptop, to distract himself from the thoughts of the lass.
