Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"And so, we are back!" Wei Qiqi had just returned with Xu Yang, hand in hand. They looked much more in love than ever before.

"I wanted to apologize Qingyang, we could not come on the dinner that night," Xu Yang scratched the back of his head.

"Of course you did not. I guess the party must have been steamy," Mei Qingyang cheekily stuck her tongue out, making the couple flush red with her remark.

"What are you saying Qing Qing! Let's go, we need to talk!" Wei Qiqi dragged her friend by her hand. Why could this girl not mince her words, gosh that was so embarrassing.

"Ah! Qiqi, I need a bit of help from you. My stupid brother is not progressing with his assistant at all. I want to organize a date for them. Since the time is opportune and atmosphere is tense, I think everyone could enjoy some relaxing activities right about now. What do you think?"

"You mean like organize a date for them? They have not even admitted their feelings, you think it would work?" Wei Qiqi was, more or less, updated about everyone's situation in Mei Qingyang's circle.

Mei Qingyang was very clever in that sense. She only talked about certain topics with certain people. For example, the old librarian knew her situation back home, so she was more comfortable only sharing that with him. Wei Qiqi knew about her friends and her feud with Yu Rong. She was not much informed about her situation back home.

"Have to do something about it. How about you approach him as his fan again?"

"But…," Wei Qiqi glanced behind her, Xu Yang was looking at the two girls curiously, "he doesn't like it when I talk about young master Su with admiration," Wei Qiqi admitted shyly.

Mei Qingyang guffawed, bursting out in laughter. People around paused and looked at her for a second, then continued. She strode towards Xu Yang.

"You got a problem if she goes, meets my brother?"

Xu Yang frowned but did not say anything. If it was for some mission or something, he was okay. But otherwise…

Mei Qingyang laughed loudly again.

"Aiyya, I got to see something truly incredible today. I know you are not as expressionless as Tian, but to think you would be jealous like this, cannot," Mei Qingyang patted his shoulder and laughed till her eyes teared up.

"Is it that funny? Why do you need the two of them to interact?" Xu Yang could not remain angry. If the request was reasonable, obviously he had no right to question.

"I am setting him up with a girl. Does that ease your worry?" Mei Qingyang smiled. Xu Yang was surprised that this girl would meddle into other people's lives like this. The Mei Qingyang he knew only kept to herself. But well, they were talking about her foster cousin, guess their relationship was as good as people said.

"Fine. I don't care, you guys can do whatever you want," Xu Yang closed his eyes and waved his hands in dismissal.

"He said yes," she turned back and replied to Wei Qiqi.

In the evening, the doorbell of Su Lang's house rang. Su Weixi went to open the door.

"Ah! Is young master Su at home?" Weixi was surprised to see Wei Qiqi standing at the door. Did they let anyone in these days? She never received a request from her for entry on the floor. Perhaps her friend brought her in.

"Why do you want to meet him?" she asked in a stern voice. She was well aware of her being a big fan of her master. She had behaved in such an intimate manner with him in the hospital last time. But if she recalled correctly, did they not have a fight? Did the girl not leave in anger then? She had not returned ever since. Why was she here now?

"Uhh… so I was just wondering if he was interested in going to the campus amus.e.m.e.nt park this weekend or something?" Wei Qiqi was feeling very awkward but she had already observed that the little assistant was not looking very good. She was definitely eating vinegar right now. She could not help but tease her.

"I thought you already had a boyfriend, why are you interested in going with my master?" her voice turned colder as she spoke.

"Weixi, who came? Oh!" Su Lang came out his bedroom, donning just a bathrobe. He had just taken a bath. Since Weixi had not called him out, he thought the guest had left. He had not anticipated that Wei Qiqi would be standing there.

If he ran back to change his clothes now, that would be embarrassing to the guest. So he decided to continue in the same attire. The bathrobe was giving a great view of his abs. His wet hair made his look extra s.e.xy. Even Wei Qiqi gulped as she saw him coming towards the sofa and her face grew hot. Su Weixi did not like this at all.

"Ms. Wei, how come you are here?" his question snapped her back to the reality.

"Ah, yes. You see, I was looking for people to go with me to the amus.e.m.e.nt park," she dangled two tickets in front of her.

"And how did you decide that I should accompany you?"

"You are misunderstanding me young master. I never said you are accompanying me. You see, I don't know a lot of people here and I won six tickets in a draw to the park. I asked Qing Qing and she said yes, but I did not want to bother her. Poor girl is so busy as is. So, I thought I would come find you. How about it? I have two tickets to give away. How about bringing your assistant along?" she spoke it all in one breath.

Oh! Both of them had truly misunderstood her.

"Qing Qing said yes? Isn't she having too much fun these days? I don't think she should be going out like this so often," he got suddenly concerned. Was she under so much stress that she was procrastinating her work? Or was she breaking down and running away from her tasks?

"You don't need to worry about her. She has stuff under control. You just say yes or no," she waved the tickets again.

"Fine, I don't mind. When are you guys going?"

"It is Saturday tomorrow, so how about it? We checked the weather, it is going be a warm sunny day, so it won't be a nuisance in this cold." They had done their homework and the Saturday was the perfect day for this.

"Alright, leave them here. Weixi, clear my schedule for tomorrow," Su Lang did not even ask who else was coming. He decided to give it a try. The campus had a small pretty amus.e.m.e.nt park and kids went there pretty often. Of course, the prices of the rides were as exorbitant as the fee of the courses, so poor kids did not have access to the rides. This was the motivation behind him saying yes. It had been quite some time since he had taken Su Weixi out to play. She looked like she had forgotten the joy of childishness and had become too strict lately.

"But master…," Weixi protested.

"It's okay to play once in a while. This week is going pretty slow. Let's have some fun before everything becomes serious.

"Understood," Su Weixi instantly went inside to do as instructed.

"If there is nothing else, then I will take my leave. Thank you accepting my invitation, young master Su," Wei Qiqi danced in her heart. The mission was too easy, even Mei Qingyang would be surprised. It was good that she mentioned to bring the assistant, otherwise she would have gotten the question of what the single man would do there.

She reported right away to Mei Qingyang who sang praises for her friend. This girl was too resourceful, "I shall look out for if you also pull me into one of honey traps with your sweet words," Mei Qingyang teased.

"Oh, come on," Wei Qiqi rolled her eyes happily.

---------

The next day, the three couples met in the amus.e.m.e.nt park in the morning. Both Qiqi and Qingyang had dolled up prettily, and the two guys were also wearing casual wear, just like for dates. Su Lang was also in his casual wear and had made Weixi wear normal clothes as well. He did not want her to go as his assistant today, but a normal girl.

It was very crowded today because everyone had come out after the Valentine's day to play. For winters, most of the rides were inside but due to good weather, a few outside rides were also opened just for today.

"I want to do go karting!" Wei Qiqi already picked.

"Oh, are we going separately?" Su Lang asked confusedly. He had agreed to the trip abruptly but it seemed like the two couples before him had different plans.

"We could go together, I don't mind," Mei Qingyang wrapped her arm around Yu Tian's arm, taking him by surprise. But he was much comfortable with her for now, so he did not mind.

"Okay, how about we go in turns then? Qiqi picked go karting, I pick roller coaster, and what about you two?" Mei Qingyang asked?

"Weixi, how about you choose?" Su Lang gave the choice to his assistant.

"I… I want to do Merry Go Round!" her eyes sparkled as she pointed to the ride in front of her.
