Chu Yuan - Does Ting Hao knows that you called me?
Ting Yi - Yeah. He only asked me to call you.
Chu Yuan - Can I talk to him?
Ting Yi - Yeah, sure.
Ting Yi puts the call on mute.
Ting Yi - Older Brother, Older Brother Chu Yuan wants to talk to you.
Ting Hao - Me?
Ting Yi(nodding) - Hmm...
Ting Hao was shocked. He didn't want to talk to Chu Yuan, so he shakes his head left and right.
Ting Hao - No!
Ting Yi(with her puppy face) - Please!
Ting Hao signs.
Ting Hao - Okay, give me the phone.
Ting Hao takes the phone from Ting Yi and unmutes it.
Ting Hao - Hello!
Chu Yuan - Hi, Ting Hao! How are you?
Ting Hao - I am fine.
Chu Yuan - Nice.
There was silence for a minute. Both Chu Yuan and Ting Hao were not saying anything.
Ting Hao - Okay, I guess I should hang up the call.
Chu Yuan - No, Ting Hao! I want to ask you something.
Ting Hao - Okay. What do you want to ask?
Chu Yuan - No, it's nothing. It will be better if I won't ask you.
Ting Hao - Say it, Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan - Okay! Do you still hate me? Do you still have grudges against me?
Ting Hao - Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?
Chu Yuan - I told you that it will better if I won't ask you this.
Ting Hao - It's okay. I will answer the question.
Chu Yuan - Really.
Ting Hao - Hmm. Just give me a second.
Chu Yuan - Okay.
Then Ting Hao puts the call on mute.
Ting Hao - Ting Yi, you need to go from here.
Ting Yi - Why?
Ting Hao - Because I want you to go.
Ting Yi - I won't go.
Ting Hao - If you won't go from here then...
Ting Yi - Then what?
Ting Hao - Then I will go from here.
Then Ting Hao started walking.
Ting Yi(angry) - Older brother, I hate you!
Ting Hao(sarcastically) - Same here.
Then Ting Hao went from there. And unmutes the call.
Ting Hao - Chu Yuan, are you still there?
Chu Yuan - Yeah, I am here. So, what is your answer?
Ting Hao - My answer. Actually, I have understood that life is too small. We didn't get life to waste. I have wasted a lot of my time in hatred, and now, I don't want to waste my time and life in hatred.
Chu Yuan - Does that means that you don't hate me anymore?
Ting Hao - Yeah! I don't hate you anymore.
Chu Yuan - Really?
Ting Hao - Hmm. It's just that our friendship can never be the same again. It's not because of you, Chu Yuan. It's because of me I spoiled everything. It was just an accident, and I blamed your mom. Because of me, you left Yuan Wu Dao. Not only you, but your mom left Yuan Wu Dao too. I am not the one who should hate you. You are the one who should hate me. You guys were never at fault. I was wrong. I am...
Before Ting Hao could complete, Chu Yuan interrupted.
Chu Yuan - No need to say anything else. Indeed, we are not at fault. But, this is also true that you were also not at fault. If I would be in your place, I would have done the same thing. You were not wrong, the circumstances were wrong. You didn't spoil anything, circumstances spoiled everything. I know that our friendship can never be the same, but at least we will be friends, right?
Ting Hao - Yeah!
Chu Yuan - Yeah!
Ting Hao - Thank you, Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan - Your welcome. I'll hang up now. I need to sleep.
Ting Hao - Sure. Bye!
Chu Yuan - Bye!
Then Chu Yuan hang up the call. And Ting Hao went near Ting Yi. As he reached there, he saw that everyone was there standing with her.
Ting Yi - What did Brother Chu Yuan ask you, brother?
Ting Hao - Nothing.
Ting Yi - Tell us, brother, please!
Ting Hao - Okay.
Then Ting Hao started telling them about his and Chu Yuan's conversation.
After 5 minutes -
Ting Yi was really very happy to hear that Ting Hao forgave Chu Yuan.
Ting Yi - You really forgave him?
Ting Hao - Yeah!
Ting Yi - Thank you, Brother!
Ting Hao - Leave this topic. We have a really important thing to tell you, Ting Yi.
Ting Yi - What important thing?
Chang An - Actually, we have decided to celebrate your birthday in The Fang mansion.
Ting Yi - Why? Didn't we decide that we will be celebrating my birthday here?
Ting Hao - Yeah, Ting Yi! We did decide that we will celebrate your birthday here, but I made a mistake.
Ting Yi - What mistake?
Bai Cao - Actually, Senior Ting Hao gave the address of Fang Mansion instead of this Mansion in the invitation.
Ting Yi was shocked.
Ting Yi - What! Brother, since when did you become so careless?
Ting Hao - I am really sorry, Ting Yi! I didn't do this purposely. And I always invite guests there only. It has become my habit.
Ting Yi - It's okay. I forgive you. At least you did not forget to invite guests.
Ting Hao - I am sorry, Ting Yi! I won't repeat this mistake.
Yi Feng - I think we should leave now, or else we will be late for the party.
Ting Yi - How will we be late? The party is in the evening. We got enough time to finish shopping.
Yi Feng(mumbling) - Even one day is not enough for girls to finish shopping and you are saying that you will finish your shopping in half day.
Ting Yi - What did you say, Yi Feng?
Yi Feng - Nothing.
Chang An - Okay, guys. Ting Yi, Xiao Ying, you both go near the car, we will be there soon.
Ting Yi - Why are you all not coming with us? After all, we are going to Fang Mansion first. We all can go together.
Bai Cao - No, Ting Yi. We will be there after some time. We will first rest here for some time. Then we will go there and do the preparation.
Ting Hao - Yeah, Ting Yi! Don't worry, your birthday will be the best birthday ever.
Ting Yi - Okay. Come on, Xiao Ying.
Bai Cao - No. Xiao Ying, you have to take your medicine.
Xiao Ying - Medicine?
Lin Li - Yeah! You have to take medicine now.
Xiao Ying was confused, then suddenly Bai Cao pressed Xiao Ying.
Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, come with me and eat your medicine.
Xiao Ying - Yeah! Senior Ting Yi, you go first. I will be there in a minute.
Ting Yi - Okay.
Then Ting Yi went from there.
Xiao Ying - What happened, Bai Cao? Why did you stop me?
Bai Cao - Don't exsert too much, okay?
Xiao Ying - Okay.
Ting Hao - Okay, guys. I think you all should leave. Don't worry, we will handle everything here.
Chang An - Okay! Let's go, Yi Feng, Xiao Ying.
Then they all also went near the car. Chang An, Ting Yi, Yi Feng and Xiao Ying sat in the car. Everyone outside of the car, were waving their hand and was saying bye. Then Chang An drove the car away.
Ting Hao - Okay, guys! Let's go. Me and Bai Cao will handle everything here. You all should go and do buy the essential items we have everything here.
Gu Wei Yi - Okay, Ting Hao.
Then Gu Wei Yi, Lin Li, Guang Ya and Xiao Yang went from there. Ting Hao was looking worried.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, don't worry. Nothing will go wrong. This will be Ting Yi's best birthday ever. I promise you that!
Then Ting Hao holds Bai Cao's hand.
Ting Hao - Thank you, Bai Cao! You have done a lot for me and Ting Yi.
Bai Cao - No, Senior Ting Hao. I have done nothing.
Ting Hao - No, Bai Cao. You have done a lot. And I should thank you.
Bai Cao - So, in this case, I should thank you too.
Ting Hao - Why?
Bai Cao - Because you have a lot for me more than I have done for you. Even my whole life is not enough.
Ting Hao - You will thank me.
Bai Cao - In one condition.
Ting Hao - What condition?
Bai Cao - That you will not thank me. After all, in friendship, no sorry, no thank you.
Ting Hao chuckled.
Ting Hao - Okay.
Bai Cao - Good. Let's go and plan what we should do.
Ting Hao - Okay.
Then Ting Hao and Bai Cao went inside and started deciding what they will do.
On the other hand, Gu Wei Yi, Lin Li, Xiao Yang and Guang Ya reached a store. It was really a creepy place.
Lin Li - Are you sure that this is the best place to buy things that we want, Gu Wei Yi?
Gu Wei Yi - Yeah, Lin Li!
Lin Li - Okay then, let's go inside.
Then all four of them went inside the store. Lin Li was shocked after seeing the store from inside.
Lin Li - Oh my God! Are we in the same place?
Guang Ya - Yeah, Lin Li.
Lin Li - How is this possible? This place looked creepy from the outside, but it is luxurious from the inside.
Gu Wei Yi - This is why this place so famous. Let's buy stuff we want.
Then they all started buying stuff.
On the other side, Chang An, Ting Yi, Xiao Ying and Yi Feng reached The Fang Mansion. And they all went inside.
Ting Yi - Guys, please sit down. I will be right back.
Chang An - Are you sure that you don't need any help?
Ting Yi - Yeah!
Chang An - Okay.
Then Ting Yi went inside her room. Chang An, Yi Feng and Xiao Ying were sitting in the drawing-room.
Xiao Ying - Couch Chang An, I am really nervous.
Chang An - Xiao Ying, don't be nervous. I know that you will do your best.
Yi Feng - Yeah, Xiao Ying! And we all really believe in you. We know that you will be able to do everything right.
Xiao Ying - Hmm...
Then suddenly, Ting Yi came there.
Ting Yi - Let's go, guys.
Chang An - Yeah!
Then they all started walking towards the gate. Xiao Ying was walking with Ting Yi.
Xiao Ying - Senior Ting Yi, what work did you had here?
Ting Yi - Nothing, I just wanted this shopping list. Every year, I prepare this.
Xiao Ying - Oh! Nice.
Yi Feng - Come on, guys. Why are you both walking so slow?
Xiao Ying - Do your own business. Don't look at us.
Yi Feng - Okay.
Then they reached near the car and sat in it. Chang An started driving the car towards the mall.
After some time, they reached a mall. They all went inside. Ting Yi and Xiao Ying started shopping. Both of them were running here and there, shop to shop. Chang An and Yi Feng got tired in just 30 minutes. They were the ones who were holding the shopping bags.
Slowly and slowly, time passed. Then suddenly both of them saw a place to sit. They ran towards it and sat on it.
Chang An - Thank god! I am so tired.
Yi Feng - Same here, Chang An. See, I was right.
Chang An - Yeah! You were right, Yi Feng.
Both of them were sitting, then suddenly, Ting Yi came running. She looked really worried. Tears were rolling from her cheeks.
