Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

After Minister Jiang left, Mei Qingyang started preparing to move back into her room. She was offered no help, of course. So, she had to pack and unpack everything by herself is what she thought. But Su Lang came to help her unprecedentedly.

"Senior Su, why are you here? This is such a small place, it's not even up to your standards.", Mei Qingyang was literally shocked when Su Lang knocked on her door and offered to help with his assistant.

"Aiyya little sister, why are you suddenly being so distant? Do you only call me cousin when you need a favor from me?", Su Lang pouted in his usual cute way.

"Ah Senior Su, please don't tease me like this. Your help is really appreciated. If you had not come, it would take me around 2 days to move everything. Although I do not have much but this kitchen stuff is just so c.u.mbersome.", Mei Qingyang stated. Of course she was very grateful to him. He had been especially looking out for her these days. Was he happy with dad's praise for him?

In the end, these guys were also craving for love, were they not? She decided to keep this in mind. She would occasionally call him 'cousin' just to make him extra happy.

But since he was here, should others not be here as well? Feng Yue, she did not even want to confront. However, Yu Tian was a different story. She needed to clear with him what he meant by his words. Not only that, she also needed to make sure that he explains everything to Yu Rong. Otherwise, she was going to punish them both one way or the other.

"Where are the others, Senior Su?", Mei Qingyang continued. Hearing 'senior' from her once again, Su Lang felt a bit disappointed. He had really thought that they had gotten closer during all the recent events. He had suddenly gained a cute brave sister and he wanted to enjoy the sibling relationship with her. From her darling reactions to her parents, she was definitely a warm person. Plus, he had promised his uncle once again that he would take care of her. They still had time to develop their relationship slowly.

"Hmm? Tell me little sister, who are you curious about? Feng Yue? Fan Ruyi? Or may be…", he paused dramatically and turned a 360 degree turn on his feet, smiling slyly. "Yu Tian?"

Mei Qingyang put her hand on her head and facepalmed.

"Senior Su, I was just asking if everyone is busy. I have not even heard from either of them after my parents left. It's already been two days now. But never mind. I won't be conceited and think that they have time to contact me to begin with. You are the best out of them, keeping me company and helping me out so much.", she said jokingly and gave him a thumbs up. She was in a good mood just because she had probably found a reliable 'brother' here as well. Who knew her comic words would touch Su Lang so much that he would tear up internally? If he did not need to put up appearances then he would have cried out of joy.

He slightly coughed and answered Mei Qingyang, "Well. Feng Yue and Fan Ruyi are busy. Yu Tian is not on campus since uncle's visit."

"He left again?", Mei Qingyang raised her eyebrows and frowned. Wasn't this happening too frequently?

"Ye… yeah, some business work. Why? Did you want to see him? We could make a call if you want.", Su Lang shrugged his shoulders.

"No need. I don't want to disturb him if he is on a business trip.", Mei Qingyang rubbed her nose. It seemed like Su Lang had no idea where he actually went. But his hesitation earlier had an ominous feeling to it.

"Oh, so then, if he was not on business trip, you would have wanted me to make a call to him?", Su Lang teased her again. She threw a pillow from the bed on him.

"Cousin Lang, we have not cleared the air yet. You do not need to take his words on their face value, okay?", she sighed. It was just to save his ego that was attacked by her brother then. These people could not bear losing to some poor orphans, and that was the reality.

"Hmph! Now you call me your cousin? But his words might be closer to truth than you think. What you say?" Su Lang rubbed his chin with smug on his face. He was surprised though that she did not get the sincerity in Yu Tian's words that day. What about Feng Yue? He was obsessed with his ex-fiancée and now that he had gotten some lead, he was becoming impatient.

"Okay, tell me. If you were me, who would you choose? Feng Yue or Yu Tian?", she tried steering away from being the main decision maker and spin Su Lang in between. Su Lang saw right through her scheme but still gave her way.

"Hmm… I don't think I can answer you objectively. I have much closer relationship with Yu Tian. Plus I feel like Feng Yue is doing you and himself injustice. It is a big burden to you regardless of whether you are Li Sibao or not. So, don't worry about it and go with your heart, okay?", Su Lang started playing with the pillow Mei Qingyang had thrown earlier because his assistant would not let him work. Mei Qingyang was also packing some stuff when she stopped after what Su Lang had to say. *Go with your heart it seems.*

She got stuck on that sentence and then giggled in the next moment.

"When have I ever not followed my heart? If I really want to get together with someone, no one can stop me.", she smiled at Su Lang.
