Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Ready to face the world?" Yu Tian asked Mei Qingyang the next morning. This was the first day they were going to attend the college together. Mei Qingyang had been successful in driving people away with questions about her being officially recruited as Yu Tian's servant.

It was natural for everyone to be curious, especially the girls. If the most eligible bachelor had really taken in a servant, that meant, he was ready for the main girlfriend too. Wouldn't their chances be increased thus? Plus, it seemed that Yu Tian had gotten over his disgust towards touch?

Well, whenever anyone approached Mei Qingyang, she either only smiled to their question without answering them or just did not reply at all. After a few days, people just stopped asking.

Mei Qingyang batted her big eyes in confusion. Face the world? What had she been doing till now then?

"When you are there, do I need to worry?" she spoke with a serious expression while fixing her clothes. She would let him do the answering. She was just a 'servant' after all. Yu Tian took it the other way, his heart warming over her trust in him. If she knew what he was thinking, she would have laughed.

"Young master, your breakfast," Mrs. Zhao came with milk and French toast with her. She put down the plate on the table, all smiles. Yu Tian and Mei Qingyang glanced at each other, what happened to her suddenly? Did she finally decide to act as if she had given up? Then her time of contacting Yu Rong was way near than they had thought.

The resilience and survival instincts of older generation was incredulous.

"What about Qing Qing?" Yu Tian looked at the table with just one plate and one glass and felt another headache coming.

"It's okay. I am on diet anyway. I will eat something later," she replied. Mrs. Zhao gave her a look of disdain, she was just trying to look good in front of the master.

"You don't need any diet, here take this milk. I will only eat the toast," he passed the glass to her as he was sitting down on the dining table.

"Young master, please do not ruin your breakfast, I will get her another glass of milk. What else would you like Ms. Mei?" Mrs. Zhao was enraged once again. Did she, as a senior servant, need to serve this junior servant? She clenched her teeth, but because she did not want to be thrown out, she decided to be more amicable.

"Mrs. Zhao, please do not be so formal. I am fine without the breakfast. You can continue on with your work," Mei Qingyang waved her hands and refused again. She was worried that if she ate anything made by this old lady with a grudge, her stomach wouldn't be able to handle such beautiful emotions.

"Then, I will take my leave," Mrs. Zhao bowed and left. The two people in the room did not bother to call her or stop her. Mrs. Zhao's expression twisted as soon as she turned around. How dare she? Would it be humiliation everyday now?

The two people left after Yu Tian finished his toast and insisted that Mei Qingyang drank the milk. He could not offer her toast because she wouldn't eat eggs. The two stepped out of their house when they found the three people, Su Lang, Fan Ruyi and Feng Yue waiting for them.

"Ready to rock it Qing Qing?" Su Lang asked, sticking his tongue out.

"Always," Mei Qingyang smiled.

"This confirms it! She really is the servant!" another girl screamed.

"But these five people were already roaming around together. Wasn't she inducted in their group long back?" a guy from behind put forth his theory.

"That is also true, but also servants are not allowed to accompany the masters in the classes. Does her becoming a servant not disqualify her from being a student? How has she been attending the classes till now then?" another student analyzed the situation. The crowd nodded at this conjecture. How was she still attending the classes if she had become a servant, unless, Yu Tian had specially requested for it.

Wait, why did anyone not think of that? He was the master of the school practically, so he could definitely do that. There were no rules against servants enrolling as students as long as fees were being paid. But everyone was aware of Yu Rong's unusual love towards her nephew. Many thought it was just because she was more like his elder sister than aunt or brother. She was only in her teens when Yu Tian was born after all.

"Hmph! He only made her a servant, not his girlfriend. That seat is still open," another senior girl from third year spoke up. Everyone was so jealous right now that that girl from poor background could even breathe in the same air as those four legends of the college.

Other girls gave solace to their hearts thinking that as well. Those four were still not taken. If Fan Ruyi were to get committed to one of the three, none of them could compete with her. But Mei Qingyang was not even equivalent to a fly. They could definitely overpower her. No one was aware of the power struggle behind the scenes anyway.

"Let me accompany to your class," Yu Tian kept moving with Mei Qingyang even though they had already reached his classroom first, under the envious gaze of everyone. No one had ever heard such a gentle tone from this incredibly handsome guy. He was always cold and aloof. Who was this new person? He was not even this soft with his own friends, why her??

"Should not I be doing that? That should be my duty!" Mei Qingyang replied, puzzled. Was he trying to help her out so that her classmates understand her position?

"You do not need to worry, young master Yu. I will take her with me. If someone tries to bully her, I shall report it to you right away," they heard a very chirpy voice from behind. Mei Qingyang knew Ma Shuxin had been following them for quite a while. Now she had a chance, she suddenly pounced on that.

"I guess it is my cue to take my leave then. I will see you back at home," he casually threw the remark and left, his voice full of irritation.

'Home'. Everyone heard that word. Then! He confirmed it!!! He did confirm it himself!!!

It became a hot topic instantly on all their group chats. The news spread like a fire and in an instant, everyone knew for sure that she was indeed his servant now. Mei Qingyang could not help but facepalm. She could not really have peace in her life, could she?

"Qing Qing, I got another packet for you," Wei Qiqi was supposed to be welcome to Yu Tian's house but Mei Qingyang changed the location of their meeting because that menacing Mrs. Zhao was still there. These days that lady did not have any other work but to keep an eye on her.

Thus, Mei Qingyang called her at the library. Library was so big that it was the safest haven for her.

Wei Qiqi was allowed to meet her family once a week, owing to the fact that her mother was quite sick. She was allowed to leave under heavy scrutiny but Wei Qiqi was smart too, she knew how to deceive the system. Under the guise of her mother's doc.u.ments, she was also working as an information exchanger for Mei Qingyang.

"Qiqi! I had told you it could be dangerous. Why are you not thinking of your family? What if Yu Rong does to you?" Mei Qingyang worriedly pounded her small fists over her arms. Why would this girl put herself in danger for her? She had not really done anything for her.

"I owe you so much in this life Qing Qing, if I am able to help you out like this, it would be my blessing," Wei Qiqi replied, handing over another packet, this time much thinner.

"Ah f*ck!" Mei Qingyang yelped. This won't do! This information was too critical.

"Here, take my phone, I already dialed the number," Wei Qiqi handed over her phone swiftly, which was monitored less by any of the authorities here.

Mei Qingyang nodded. "Hello, it's time to take the action," she spoke to the person on other side. Wei Qiqi grinned widely, hearing her instructions.
