After some time, Bai Cao and Ting Hao were standing at the main door, waiting for the guest to come, but there was no sign of the guests coming.
Bai Cao - When will these guests arrive, Senior Ting Hao?
Ting Hao - I don't know. I clearly mentioned the time. I don't know why they are late.
Bai Cao - It's okay. They will come soon.
Ting Hao - Oh no!
Bai Cao - What happened, Senior Ting Hao?
Ting Hao - Why didn't I think about it earlier?
Bai Cao - You are scaring me now, Senior Ting Hao. What happened?
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, Ting Yi will come downstairs when she is ready, right? And if she comes down, then our surprise will be doomed.
Bai Cao - Don't worry, Senior Ting Hao. I have also cut arrangements for this problem.
Ting Hao - What do you mean? What have you done?
Bai Cao - Actually, that's what I thought when I was coming down. So, the idea that came to my mind at that moment, I implemented that idea.
Ting Hao - What idea? What did you do?
Flashback -
Bai Cao was coming out of her room, then suddenly, Ting Yi came out. Bai Cao saw Ting Yi had wrapped a blanket.
Ting Yi - Bai Cao!
Bai Cao - Yes, Senior Ting Yi.
Ting Yi - Can you please come to my room? I need your help.
Bai Cao - Yeah, sure.
Then Bai Cao went inside Ting Yi's room.
Ting Yi - Bai Cao, there is something wrong with my dress's zip. I am not able to pull it up. Can you help me?
Bai Cao - Yeah sure.
Then Ting Yi removes the blanket, and Bai Cao pulls up Ting Yi's zip.
Bai Cao - Done.
Ting Yi - Thank you!
Bai Cao - You are welcome. I will get going.
Ting Yi - Okay. I'll be there.
Then Bai Cao came out of Ting Yi's room. She was near the stairs, but suddenly she stopped.
Bai Cao(to herself) - What if Ting Yi gets ready and comes down? Our surprise will be dommed. What should I do to stop her? Who can stop her?
Bai Cao was thinking of a solution then suddenly she got an idea, and she went near Ting Yi's room, and locked Ting Yi's room from outside.
Bai Cao - A locked room can stop her.
And she came downstairs.
Flashback ended
Bai Cao - Nice idea, right?
Ting Hao - Yeah, but what if some opens the gate?
Bai Cao - Don't worry, I have texted everyone that they should not unlock Ting Yi's room.
Ting Hao - Good, Bai Cao. You have grown intelligent.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, see, guests have started coming.
Ting Hao - Yeah. Go inform everyone.
Bai Cao - Okay. I will call everyone.
Then Bai Cao called everyone. Chang An, Gu Wei Yi, Lin Li, Yi Feng and Xiao Ying, all came down near Ting Hao and Bai Cao.
Ting Hao - Guys, go on your positions.
Everyone - Okay.
Then Chang An went near Ting Yi's room, Yi Feng and Xiao Ying went inside the ballroom, Gu Wei Yi and Lin Li went to another door, and Bai Cao was still with Ting Hao.
Ting Hao and Bai Cao were welcoming the guest from the front door. Yi Feng and Xiao Ying were looking if there is everything okay inside the ballroom. Gu Wei Yi and Lin Li were welcoming the guest from another door. Then suddenly, Bai Cao saw Shen Bo coming.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, is he Senior Shen Bo?
Ting Hao - Shen Bo? Where?
Then Ting Hao turned his head and saw Shen Bo. Ting Hao was happy.
Shen Bo - Hello, Senior brother Shen Bo! Hello Bai Cao!
Bai Cao - Hello!
Ting Hao - Shen Bo, what are you doing here? Is your Grandma doing well? When did you come back to China?
Shen Bo - Yeah, she is okay. I came today only. Where is Senior Ting Yi? I want to wish her.
Ting Hao - Then you have to wait, Shen Bo. She doesn't even know that we are celebrating her birthday.
Shen Bo - Oh! Then, what should I do?
Bai Cao - You go inside and take a seat.
Ting Hao - Yeah, Shen Bo, go.
Then Shen Bo went inside.
After 15 minutes, all the guests reached. Ting Hao went inside the ballroom, he saw that there was so much sound inside that room.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, there is so much noise here. If we will bring Ting Yi near the ballroom, then she will get to know that there are many guests here. Our surprise will be ruined.
Ting Hao said nothing to Bai Cao. He took a chair and stood upon it.
Ting Hao - Hello everyone! I want you guys to keep some silence because we are going to bring Ting Yi here. She doesn't know that we are celebrating her birthday, and if you all will not be silent, then our surprise will be ruined. So, I want you all to stay quiet.
Then suddenly, there was pin-drop silence. No one was making noise. Ting Hao got down from the chair.
Ting Hao - Is there any other problem, Ma'am?
Bai Cao smiled. Then Bai Cao started talking in a bossy way.
Bai Cao - No.
Ting Hao - Good then.
Bai Cao - Okay, I am going to bring Ting Yi. You know what you have to do now, right?
Ting Hao - Yes, Ma'am.
Bai Cao again smiled, Ting Hao smiled too, then Bai Cao went to Ting Yi's room.
Near Ting Yi's room.
Ting Yi was banging hard on the door.
Chang An - Bai Cao, did everyone come?
Bai Cao - Yeah.
Chang An - Thank God! Finally, we can now take Ting Yi out of the room. Finally, Ting Yi will stop banging on the door. My ears are hurting.
Bai Cao - Okay, I am going to open the door, you go to the ballroom.
Chang An - Yeah, but what will you tell Ting Yi? How did her door got locked?
Bai Cao - Don't worry about it. Leave it to me.
Chang An - Okay.
Then Chang An went to the ballroom. Bai Cao went near the door and opened it.
Ting Yi - Bai Cao, where were you guys? I have been hitting the door for half an hour.
Bai Cao - I am very sorry, Ting Yi! Actually, it's my fault. The door got locked by me.
Ting Yi - It's okay. Where is everyone?
Bai Cao - They all are downstairs.
Ting Yi - Okay, let's go then.
Bai Cao - Yeah.
Then Bai Cao and Ting Yi were climbing down the stairs.
Inside the ballroom. The room was filled with silence. One side of the room was dark, and on another side, it was light. On the dark portion of the room, guests were standing, and on the light portion of the room, Ting Hao, Chang An, Yi Feng, Xiao Ying, Lin Li and Gu Wei Yi were standing. Then suddenly, the ballroom's door opened, Ting Yi and Bai Cao entered. And they all again started acting.
Ting Hao - Ting Yi, what took you so long?
Ting Yi - I didn't take a long time. It is Bai Cao's fault, she locked the door of my room.
Ting Hao - What!
Bai Cao - Yeah, I locked Ting Yi's room by mistake.
Ting Hao - Okay.
Xiao Ying - If you all are done talking, then I think we should bring that thing.
Everyone - Yeah.
Ting Yi - What thing?
Ting Hao - You will get to know Ting Yi.
Then Ting Hao turned his face towards Bai Cao, he nodded once, then Bai Cao went out of the room. Chang An had a remote in his hand. After a couple of minutes, Bai Cao came inside with the cake Ting Hao prepared.
Bai Cao - It's time to click some photos with the cake.
Ting Yi(shocked) - Cake! When did you guys prepare a cake?
Bai Cao - We just made it.
Ting Hao - Okay, come on let us cut the cake. I will record a video.
Ting Yi - Okay.
Then bai Cao puts some candles on the cake.
After lighting up the candle, Ting Yi went near the cake to blow the candles. Just after blowing the candle everyone including the guests started singing the birthday song. Ting Yi raised her head to see why there is a sound of many people. As she raised her head, Chang An presses a button on that remote, then all the lights switched on, Ting Yi was surprised.
Ting Yi - Bai Cao, why are they all here?
Bai Cao - To celebrate your birthday.
Ting Yi had nothing to say. She was astonished.
Ting Yi(with teary eyes) - When did you all plan this? As much I remember, I was all the time with you guys after Xiao Ying fainted in the mall and we all came back.
Chang An - Yeah, you were with us only after we came back from the mall, but you were not with us before going to the mall.
Ting Yi - What do you mean, Chang An?
Chang An - I mean, we planned this before we went to the mall.
Ting Yi - That means, everything that happened was fake?
Everyone - Yeah.
Ting Yi - This meant, Xiao Ying's ill health was also fake.
Everyone - Yes.
Ting Yi - Whose idea was it?
Ting Hao - The one and only, Chang An.
Ting Yi - What!
Chang An - Yeah. But I did this because Ting Hao wanted this.
Bai Cao - Okay, guys. We will talk about it later after the party.
Ting Yi - Yeah. You guys still remember that you have promised me that you will do whatever I want.
All the boys - Yeah.
Ting Yi - Good, let's continue cutting the cake.
Then Ting Yi again started cutting the cake and everyone(including the guests) started singing the birthday song. Then Ting Yi first gave the cake to Ting Hao. And Ting Hao gave Ting Yi a gift
Ting Hao - Happy Birthday!
Ting Yi - Thank you! But I won't forgive you just because you gave me this gift.
Ting Hao - Okay.
Then Ting Yi went near Bai Cao. She gives cake to Bai Cao and Bai Cao gave Ting Yi a gift.
Bai Cao - Happy Birthday!
Ting Yi - Thank You!
Then Ting Yi went near everyone one by one and she gave the cake to everyone and everyone gave her gifts, but when she went near Chang An to give him cake, Chang An didn't give her a gift because he already gave her the gift, but no one knows about it except Chang An and Ting Yi.
Xiao Ying - Couch, why are you not giving Senior Ting Yi a gift.
Ting Yi - Why will he give me one more gift when he has given me one already?
Everyone - Given already!
Chang An - Yeah, because she was very impatient.
Ting Hao - Yeah, she is really impatient.
Ting Yi - Older Brother!
Bai Cao - Okay, guys, stop fighting. We need to give cake to the guests also.
Shen Bo - You don't worry about it, Bai Cao, I will do that.
Bai Cao - I will help you.
Shen Bo - No need. You enjoy the party. I am good at all this work.
Bai Cao - Okay.
Then Shen Bo went to the kitchen, and everyone started coming near Ting Yi to wish her and to give her gifts.
After some time -
Everyone was enjoying the party, then suddenly a man came inside. Seeing that person, Ting Hao and Shen Bo were shocked.
Man - Hi, President Ting Hao!
Ting Hao - You! What are you doing here?
