Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend
Chapter 200
"Merry Go Round?" Su Lang''s eyes widened and then softened. This girl was a child at heart after all. He should have realized that he could have brought her out to play more often. Once her training as his bodyguard and assistant had started, they really never had come out to play like this. He was skeptical to have accepted Wei Qiqi''s invitation on a whim but it seemed like it was not so bad after all.
"We will do merry go round then," Mei Qingyang extended her hand and smiled gently. She wanted the two of them to have as much fun as possible, and perhaps, in this atmosphere, come to the terms with their own feelings.
"Then, let''s go for go karting first," Su Lang grabbed Weixi''s hand and followed the two couples.
"Tch, they are so happy over there, I don''t understand how the master is going to play with his own servant," Ma Shuxin was sitting in a café outside the park and enjoying her morning coffee with a few other girls from her class when she suddenly noticed the three pairs heading towards the park.
Her heart became full of jealousy. Not only those two poor lasses Wei Qiqi and Mei Qingyang had got themselves rich boyfriends, even this servant Su Weixi had better life than hers.
One of the girls in the group was former lackey of Gu Layue and always loved to find trouble. She had gotten Ma Shuxin into her group because her former team leader Gu Layue had become quiet like Buddha. Since the day the news of Mei Qingyang becoming servant of Yu Tian came out, she had just stopped mocking and playing with that girl.
She had already started softening her stance towards that wench but now had given up completely. Was she that afraid of Yu Tian? There was also a rumor that this whole servant-master thing was a fa?ade and they were actually going out as lovers.
Heh, who would believe that? No matter what, their statuses did not match at all.
And since this girl was the number one lackey of Gu Layue, she had developed keen observational skills. She had caught early on what Ma Shuxin really felt towards her only ''friend''. This lass before her was not lacking money for sure, but she had an inferiority complex, which was very obvious.
After Gu Layue''s almost departure from the scene, this girl had really helped her and her group keep entertained. She was planning a bit surprise for Mei Qingyang with the help of her only friend in the rich circle.
Would definitely serve her right for stealing all the good men at once. She could not have Xu Yang for herself, so she made him couple with her equally poor friend. And then she was trying to set up the second most eligible bachelor in the school with his own assistant?
From how those both guys looked at Mei Qingyang, there was no way they did not harbor feelings for her. Probably that''s why they did not say no to her when she was giving away females from sewers to them.
Unfortunately for these rich girls, they did not really know the meaning of platonic friendship. For them, it was either a group of same gender or l.u.s.t between opposite genders. How could they understand the meaning of real friendship?
Real friendship was never a function of genders. Unfortunately for them, they would never get to experience real friendship unless they changed their attitudes.
"It''s okay, that is the role of a servant after all. Master Su rejects all females to begin with. That Wei Qiqi is also one of those rejects. So, for now, the servant has to fulfill his needs. There is no use in fuming at that," the girl sipped her tea elegantly, emulating Gu Layue herself. This person thought of herself as a goddess or something, that after Gu Layue, she was the number one.
"Hmph! I am definitely more suited for young master Su, in face, even for young master Yu. I don''t know how those rats got to them first," Ma Shuxin wrung her handkerchief.
"Aiyya, we believe in you Shuxin. I thought you were great friends with Mei Qingyang. Why don''t you ask her what is going on? Perhaps she would help you out and set you up with one of the guys she has in her life? Young master Feng is still single," the girl chuckled. She loved putting ideas in gullible people like Ma Shuxin. This is a trick she had learnt from observing the two cousin sisters, Gu Layue and Gu Jiujiu.
That fool Gu Jiujiu used to do everything her sister would tell her. Guess it was time for her to rise in the ranks and have her own lackey group. The other girls in the group also snickered but deep within their hearts, they were also taking notes. Perhaps, if they did ask Mei Qingyang, they might be able to score better guys than their current boyfriends?
"I think I do need to talk to her," Ma Shuxin looked into the distance and found that the couples were gone. Most probably, they were already enjoying the rides hand in hand.
"Let''s go to that biggest roller coaster." The six people had just come out of go karting arena. It was so much fun that the adrenaline rush made Mei Qingyang choose the longest roller coaster ride out of the five coasters that were there in the park.
"O… okay," Xu Yang was a bit hesitant.
"Are you afraid of heights, Xu Yang?" Wei Qiqi asked with concern.
"Uhh… I am not most comfortable, but let''s try it out," Xu Yang did not want to disappoint his girlfriend. They had a quiet time on Valentine''s, so this was perfect day out. He did not want to ruin it for her.
"Guys, we will sit this one out," Wei Qiqi informed seeing how uneasy her boyfriend looked.
"Hoho~, Qiqi is being a great wife eh?" Mei Qingyang teased her friend. "Are you both okay with it?" she looked behind and saw that Su Lang and Su Weixi were standing apart very awkwardly. Did something happen?
"Ye… yeah, we will go," Su Lang made the decision. The assistant had to follow the orders, so Weixi did not say anything.
"Alright, you two guys can take a rest here, or you can ride something else. The line looks long, I guess…," Mei Qingyang was about to say something when Xu Yang interrupted her and insisted that they should also experience it after all.
"If you are okay," Wei Qiqi handed her water bottle to her beau, before they all headed to the long line. When people saw mighty Yu Tian and Su Lang coming with their friends, people made way for them. Su Weixi was very used to it, so she followed the two. The other three, on the other hand were dumbfounded. What was the use of coming to play if they were going to get special treatment anyway?
In a moment, they were at the front of the line. Since a few people were not familiar with each other, they ended up sitting with their respective counterparts.
"Are you having fun?" Mei Qingyang asked Yu Tian.
"You are here, so yeah," Yu Tian smiled curtly while giving her a short cheesy answer. Mei Qingyang slapped his arm hearing the reply and chuckled, making her eyes into two crescents. She was truly happy today. As long as Yu Rong was busy with her work, she could take him out to relieve some stress from his mind.
The roller coaster started. Wei Qiqi had never been on one, so she was especially thrilled. Xu Yang, on the other hand, was scared. Wei Qiqi put her arm around his, and he was comforted enough to enjoy the ride.
"Oh my God! Master, can we do it again? Please?" Su Weixi''s child mode was suddenly turned on. She loved it so much that she tucked his sleeve and jumped up and down. Su Lang could not help but give in to her earnest request.
The others laughed at how helpless Su Lang looked. The two couples decided to give this day to Su Weixi for she looked so happy, she went on different rides multiple times. By the evening, they decided to go to the giant wheel, which would give them a great view of the romantic sunset.
Although there was space for more people in each cabin, Mei Qingyang and Wei Qiqi made sure that only the couples went together.
"Oh God, today was so much fun," Wei Qiqi stretched in her cabin and then put her head on Xu Yang''s shoulder. Everyone was quite tired but this was one moment that everyone wanted to see. The sunset in the distance over the mountains was breathtaking.
Yu Tian had made special arrangements for the three respective cabins to stop at the top for two minutes each.
"I wish we do not have any other problems cropping up from now on," Wei Qiqi wished earnestly. It ended up in them kissing each other at the top, the orange rays illuminating their whole beings.
In the other cabin, Su Weixi and Su Lang were staring at each other, awkwardly, their hearts racing. Over the course of the day, they both had become certain own feelings but were still not sure about each other. Su Weixi could not take the first step for she would be overstepping her boundary as the servant. She did not want to sour her relation with her master because of her stupid feelings. Su Lang, on the other hand, did not want to be the same as other masters in the school, taking undue advantage of his own assistant.
"Weixi…," Su Lang cleared his throat but words would not come out.
"Ye… yes master," Su Weixi stood up suddenly, not knowing hat to do, bumping her head to the top of the cabin. She lowered her stance, clutching her head. Su Lang took her head in his hands intantly, pressing at the place which bumped.
"Silly girl! What are you doing!" he rebuked. Their positions became a bit awkward, the girl sitting between his legs. They did not realize that and just kept staring at each other, Su Lang still tending to her head.
Su Lang sighed.
"Weixi, I think I cannot take this anymore. I have been realizing for past few weeks that I truly might have something more going on for you than just friendship. And I would like to take this further if I have your permission. But I do leave the decision to you,?? he said staring into her eyes. Weixi went back to her assistant mode, with her poker face on. She had no idea her master felt the same. But still, she was not sure about her status.
She just nodded to his statement, they had time to figure this out. If it did not work out, she would just leave his side and start a new life. She had gained enough knowledge and was perfectly capable of thriving on her own. Probably, in a few months, her master''s fascination towards her would die down too?
In the third cabin, Mei Qingyang and Yu Tian were sitting facing each other. Qingyang was still wary of Yu Tian''s condition, although their sweet moments were increasing by the day too. She looked at the sun with her face in her both hands.
"Tian, this has been one of the happiest days of my life. Thank you," her angelic smile mesmerizing Yu Tian.
"You were the one who planned it, why are you thanking me," he was still bedazzled by the girl''s simplistic charms. Because of winter, the girls had worn simplistic clothes rather than wearing cutesy short clothes and die in cold. But still, his girl was the prettiest.
"No, you were the one who made it possible. And you still said yes to accompany me. I know you are busy with your business endeavors but you still do whatever I ask you to. So, I can''t be grateful enough," Mei Qingyang thanked him sincerely. Half of her plans against his own aunt were happening because of his support. If he had not taken the first step to change, she would not have made so much progress. Now the last battle was coming up and she would be very busy for next fifteen days or so.
And then their fate would be determined.
