Millions of Questions

Bai Cao too began running behind Xiao Ying.
Suddenly, Xiao Ying slowed down her pace.

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, why are you running?

Bai Cao - What do you mean? You were running too.

Xiao Ying - Yeah! I was running because I don't want to get punished. What about you?

Bai Cao - Huh!? Same! I also don't want to be late and if we'll not run then we'll be late for the practice.

Xiao Ying - I know it, Bai Cao. Let's slow down. We'll get punished together.

Bai Cao - But why do you want us to get punished and if you wanted to get punished then why were you running?

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, you're confusing me. I was running to save myself but being a good friend I cannot let you get punished, alone.

Bai Cao - Okay but why are you so interested in getting us punished?

Xiao Ying - If you want me to save you from the coach's questions then just do as I say.

Bai Cao - Okay.

Bai Cao(in mind) - I hope Xiao Ying has a better plan.

Bai Cao was worried about the coach's punishment but she decided not to think of it. She too began walking slowly.

Xiao Ying and Bai Cao were walking slowly enjoying the cold breeze. Soon, they reached close to the hall.

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, run!

Bai Cao(confused) - Why?

Xiao Ying - Because we're close to the hall now.

Bai Cao - Okay.

Bai Cao(in mind) - What exactly Xiao Ying wants to do?

They both started running toward the hall.

Soon, they entered the hall.

Chang An - Why are you guys so late?

Xiao Ying - It's all my fault, coach. I didn't wake up early. Sorry, coach.

Chang An - Both of you, 20 minutes handstand.

Xiao Ying & Bai Cao - Okay.

Xiao Ying - Now, did you understand why I wanted us to get punished?

Bai Cao - No, but because of you I am punished too. Thank you so much for this, Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying - You'll never change, Bai Cao. You are the world champion but still a dumb person.

Bai Cao - What do you mean and for what reason you wanted this punishment?

Xiao Ying - I mean that we gave you the correct nickname "Little Grass" and the reason for showing interest in this punishment is, no one in his right mind would be romantic to you when you're doing a handstand. So, the coach will not ask you any question for 20 minutes.

Bai Cao - Oh! Now I understood but what will we do after this?

Xiao Ying - I have a plan. Just do as I say.

Bai Cao - Okay.

Then both of them were doing handstand near the wall. After 20 minutes, their punishment got over but Xiao Ying was not leaving Bai Cao alone, not even for a second because of which Chang An was not able to ask anything. Whole-time Bai Cao was thinking about puzzle and she was not able to concentrate on her practice.

Bai Cao - Thank god! Practice is over.

Xiao Ying - Thank god? Thank me, too. I was the one who saved you.

Bai Cao - Thank you so much, Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying - You're most welcome.

Bai Cao - Let's go home now, it's already late.

Xiao Ying - Yes

Bai Cao and Xiao Ying went out of their hall.

While going to their home -

Xiao Ying - If that puzzle is not coach then I guess it's.... it's

Bai Cao - Say it, xiao ying!

Xiao Ying - I guess it's senior brother Ting Hao.

Bai Cao - There is no sense in it, Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying - Why? He loved you.

Bai Cao - Yeah. He loved me but now he just hates me.

Xiao Ying - I don't think he can ever hate you.

Bai Cao - Okay, for once I believe that he doesn't hate me but he is not in China. He is the Drillmaster of Feng Yun hall. So, how can he spy on us?

Xiao Ying - Yeah. This is even true.

Bai Cao - Yes. I think it's senior brother Ruo Bai.

Xiao Ying(angrily) - Bai Cao! Please, senior brother Ruo Bai is no more. Don't wait for him! Move on.

Bai Cao(crying) - I don't think he is dead. He is still alive, I know it.

Xiao Ying - Okay, Bai Cao. I am sorry. Come on wipe your tears. We've reached home.

Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, go take bath. You are stinking.

Xiao Ying - No. I think you are stinking.

Bai Cao - Okay. I'll go first.

Xiao Ying  - Okay.

Bai Cao went to take shower and Xiao Ying was sitting on a couch.

after some time, Bai Cao came out of the bathroom.

Bai Cao - Now, you go.

Xiao Ying - Okay.

Bai Cao(in her mind) - Whatever Xiao Ying is saying is, true or not? Who is this puzzle? Is he Senior brother Ruo Bai or senior Ting Hao? I need to find him or else I'll be not able to concentrate on my practice. There are millions of questions running in my mind.
