Both of them fell to the ground. Ting Hao was over Guo Guo. Then suddenly, they heard a voice.
Person - Senior Ting Hao!
Ting Hao looked to his right and saw Bai Cao standing there.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao!
Bai Cao was shocked to see them like that.
Ting Hao tried to get up.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, it's nothing like it seems to be.
Bai Cao said nothing and went from there.
Ting Hao quickly got up and was about to go towards Bai Cao. But before he could, Guo Guo held his hand.
Guo Guo - Where are you going?
Ting Hao - Leave my hand.
Guo Guo - Okay, but kiss me first.
Ting Hao - What!
Guo Guo - Were you not going to kiss me?
Ting Hao - No, I was not going to kiss you and I will never kiss you not even in my dreams.
Guo Guo - Then what was that? Why did you do all that?
Ting Hao - I did all that so that I could reach to the door and go out. Now that your interrogation is finished, I need to go.
Guo Guo - Why are you going behind that girl? I mean, she has nothing. She is not even beautiful like me.
Ting Hao - Maybe she has nothing. But she has one thing with her for sure.
Guo Guo - What does she have? I can see that she is not rich.
Ting Hao - For you, only money matters but for me, love matters the most and my love is Bai Cao and she has my heart.
Then Ting Hao removes Guo Guo's hand from his hand and starts walking.
While he was walking, Guo Guo shouted saying...
Guo Guo - You can't leave people like this, Ting Hao.
Ting Hao stopped and went back near Guo Guo.
Ting Hao - You are right, Guo Guo. I can't leave people but you surely can. Don't you remember what you did to me? Do I need to remind you?
Guo Guo said nothing.
Ting Hao - I got my answer. Stop following me.
Then Ting Hao went from there. He started running and saw Bai Cao walking. He shouted...
Ting Hao - Bai Cao!
Bai Cao did not turn to her back and started running. Seeing Bai Cao running, Ting Hao started running too. Bai Cao was near the gate that's why she reached out first and sat in the car.
As Ting Hao reached there, he saw that Bai Cao was sitting with Fei Yu.
Tang Hao was upset seeing Bai Cao and Fei Yu sitting together because all this time, Bai Cao always sat next to Ting Hao.
Then Ting Hao sat in the car next to Chang An and in front of Bai Cao. And Yi Feng started driving.
Chang An - Yi Feng, why did you came to pick us up?
Yi Feng - I did not intended to pick you guys. It's just that I was driving around and then I came in front of Feng Yun Hall and I saw Bai Cao, Xiao Ying and Ting Yi standing here so I thought I should take you guys with me.
Chang An - Okay.
Everyone was talking except Ting Hao and Bai Cao. Both of them were lost in their thoughts.
Ting Hao(thinking) - What should I do? Bai Cao must be thinking that I am a foppish kind of a guy. What should I do? She is not even looking at me, why would she listen to me? I need to clear this misunderstandings.
Bai Cao(thinking) - What was that? Why was Senior Ting Hao on that Guo Guo? What were they doing in that changing room? Does Senior Ting Hao still have feelings for that Guo Guo? Why am I even thinking this? If he would have any feelings for Guo Guo, then he would not have followed me. But what were they doing in that changing room? I need to clear up my mind.
Both Ting Hao and Bai Cao were so lost in their thoughts that they didn't even realized that everyone is looking at them. Both of them signs at the same time. They looked at each other, then they turned their face towards everyone and notices that everyone is looking at them.
Bai Cao & Ting Hao(together) - Why are you guys looking at me?
Chang An - Is everything okay, guys?
Both Ting Hao and Bai Cao looked at each other.
Ting Hao - Yeah, everything is okay.
Bai Cao - Yeah.
Then both of them again started looking out from the window. Then suddenly, Fei Yu patted on Bai Cao's shoulder. Bai Cao turned towards Fei Yu. Fei Yu went a little close to Bai Cao.
Fei Yu - Is everything okay between you and Senior Ting Hao?
Bai Cao - Yeah.
Fei Yu - Why don't I feel that everything is okay?
Bai Cao - How would I know that? But why do you feel that everything is not okay?
Fei Yu went a little more close to Bai Cao's ears and Ting Hao saw that.
Ting Hao(thinking) - What the hell are they doing? Why are they so close to each other?
Fei Yu(whispering) - This is what your face is saying.
Saying that, Fei Yu moved away from Bai Cao. Bai Cao kept on looking at Fei Yu and Ting Hao was looking at Bai Cao.
Ting Hao(thinking) - Why is Bai Cao looking at Fei Yu like that? I am not like it. Ting Hao, relax. They are just friends.
Bai Cao(thinking) - Is my feeling so evident that even Fei Yu saw it? If it is, then why can't Senior Ting Hao see it.
Bai Cao turned her face towards Ting Hao. As Ting Hao saw that Bai Cao is turning her face towards him, he turned his face towards the window. Chang An was noticing all that.
Chang An - There is something wrong. I need to find out.
After few minutes, they reached their home.
They all went to their respective rooms to freshen up.
After thirty minutes, they came out of their rooms. Bai Cao started cooking and Ting Hao was going towards her to help her. But Bai Cao stopped him.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, today, I and Fei Yu will be cooking.
Fei Yu - What!
Bai Cao - Yeah.
Ting Hao - But why?
Bai Cao - Because I want you all to eat our special dish which I and Fei Yu used to cook in childhood.
Xiao Ying - Are you sure that Fei Yu knows how to cook?
Bai Cao - Yeah. He has Superb Cooking skills. Right, Fei Yu?
Bai Cao said that while glaring at Fei Yu.
Fei Yu - Yeah. Bai Cao is right. I have a Superb Cooking skills.
Xiao Ying - Really!
Fei Yu - Yeah.
Xiao Ying - I am impressed.
Yi Feng - Bai Cao, I will be taking cooking classes from you from tomorrow.
Bai Cao - Sure. Why not?
Xiao Ying - And why do you want to do that?
Yi Feng - To impress Bai Cao.
And everyone starts laughing.
Bai Cao - Fei Yu, come on.
Then Fei Yu came to the kitchen. Ting Hao was standing there.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, I think you should take some rest. Why don't you go and sit there.
Ting Hao nodded and went from there.
Fei Yu - Bai Cao!
Bai Cao - Yeah.
Fei Yu - Are you ignoring Senior Ting Hao?
Bai Cao - No.
Fei Yu - Are you sure?
Bai Cao - Yeah.
Fei Yu - Surely sure?
Bai Cao - Fei Yu.
Bai Cao glared at Fei Yu.
Fei Yu - Okay, okay. Sorry.
Then Bai Cao continued cooking.
Fei Yu - Then why did you call me here when Senior Ting Hao was coming to help you?
Bai Cao - Because I wanted to prepare the dish we used to make in childhood.
Fei Yu - We did not used to prepare any dish. It was you. I don't even know the S of this superb cooking skills.
Bai Cao - I know the S of this superb cooking skills which is... Shut Up.
Fei Yu - Okay. Then I am going.
Bai Cao - Why are you going?
Fei Yu - I have nothing to do here then why am I here?
Bai Cao - Okay, knead some dough for me
Then Bai Cao gave Fei Yu some flour to Fei Yu and he started kneading it. And Bai Cao was cutting some vegetables.
After some time, Bai Cao was cutting some vegetables, then suddenly, a tray with a perfectly knead dough came in front of her.
Bai Cao - Wow, Fei Yu! You really did a good job.
Saying that, Bai Cao turned her face towards Fei Yu. At first, her eyes went wide after seeing Fei Yu. Then suddenly, she burst into laughter.
Hearing Bai Cao laughing, everyone turned towards them and as they saw Fei Yu, they burst into laughter too.
Fei Yu - Why are you guys laughing?
Bai Cao - Someone show him a mirror.
Then suddenly, Xiao Ying brought a mirror in front of Fei Yu. As he saw himself, he started laughing too.
Fei Yu's face was covered with flour. He was looking like a joker.
Bai Cao - Fei Yu, it's not a face pack that you are applying it on your face.
Fei Yu - Ahh! I am looking like a joker!
Bai Cao - Go wash your face.
Then Fei Yu went towards the kitchen basin and started washing his face. Everyone else sat on their places but Ting Hao was still looking at Bai Cao.
Fei Yu - Bai Cao...
Before Fei Yu could complete, she kept a towel on his shoulder. Fei Yu started wiping his face.
Fei Yu - How did you know that I was going to ask you to give me a towel?
Bai Cao - I don't know.
Fei Yu - You know me a lot. Don't you, Bai Cao.
Bai Cao - Yeah, I do know you.
Then Bai Cao turned towards Fei Yu again. There was still some flour on Fei Yu's hair. She went near him and started removing the flour from his hair. Seeing this, Ting Hao was really jealous. He could not take it anymore so he hits on his thighs and stood up. He hits his thighs so hard that everyone was shocked and started looking at Ting Hao.
Ting Hao - I am going to my room to do some office work.
Then Ting Hao went from there.
Ting Hao(thinking) - What is going on? Why is Bai Cao and Fei Yu getting so close today? Were they always so close? Am I overreacting? Ahh!
Then Ting Hao sat on his study table and started doing his work.
After twenty minutes, someone came to his door and started knocking.
Ting Hao - It's open.
Then the person opens the door. It was no one else but Bai Cao.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, the food is ready. Come and eat.
Saying that, Bai Cao was going from there but suddenly, Ting Hao pulled her inside his room by holding her hands.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, what are you doing?
Ting Hao - Shh! Bai Cao, listen to me very carefully.
Bai Cao - No I won't.
Ting Hao - Why?
Bai Cao - Because I don't want to jump from this room's window. Leave me, Senior Ting Hao.
Ting Hao - But I want to talk to you.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, someone will come. Let's go now.
Ting Hao - I don't care. I just want to tell you that whatever you saw at that time is not what you are thinking.
Bai Cao was going to say somethin but before she could, Xiao Ying came over there and saw them holding each other's hand.
Ting Hao - What are you doing here, Xiao Ying?
Xiao Ying - I came to call you guys.
Ting Hao - We will come there in two minutes. You carry on. I need to talk to Bai Cao.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, we will talk some other time.
Ting Hao - When?
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, I am not going to die.
Ting Hao - Shut up, Bai Cao. I will never let you die.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, we have a lot of time to talk to each other. We will talk, but not now. Let's go and eat our dinner. Everyone is waiting for us.
Ting Hao - Let's go.
Then all three of them went downstairs.
Chang An - What took you so long?
Ting Hao - Nothing. I was just shutting down my laptop.
Bai Cao - Let's eat.
Then everyone started eating.
Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, don't tell anyone about what happened in Senior Ting Hao's room.
Xiao Ying - Why would I?
Bai Cao - Do I need to tell you?
Xiao Ying - Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
After sometime, everyone finished eating. Yi Feng and Xiao Ying were washing the dishes.
Qu Xiang Nan - Bai Cao, I am going to my room.
Bai Cao - I will take you to your room.
Qu Xiang Nan - No, I can go myself.
Bai Cao - Are you sure?
Qu Xiang Nan - Yeah.
Then Qu Xiang Nan stood up and was going to his room. Then suddenly, he started feeling dizzy and was about to fall to the ground but at that time, Bai Cao saw that. She ran towards Qu Xiang Nan saying "Master". But Qu Xiang Nan slips from Bai Cao's hand and falls. Everyone went towards him.
Bai Cao - Master! Master!
Guang Ya - Pa!
Tears started falling off from Bai Cao and Guang Ya's eyes. Then Lin Li went near Qu Xiang Nan and started checking his pulse.
Bai Cao - Lin Li, what happened to him?
Lin Li - Relax, Bai Cao. Nothing happened. He has just fainted maybe because he did not take his medicine.
Bai Cao - Guang Ya, you did not give him medicine?
Guang Ya - No, I forgot.
Bai Cao - How could you forget such important things? You know what will happen to him if he will skip his medicines.
Guang Ya - I am sorry.
Ting Hao - Okay, guys. Relax. Let's take him to his room first.
Then Ting Hao and Chang An picks Qu Xiang Nan up and took him to his room. They puts him on his bed and Lin Li starts checking his blood pressure.
Lin Li - His blood pressure is pretty normal, but he has a mild fever. I need to give him an injection but I don't have that injection. Can someone bring that?
Ting Hao - I will bring it. Tell me the name.
Then Lin Li tells Ting Hao the name of the injection and Ting Hao went to bring that.
After few minutes, Ting Hao came back and Lin Li gave Qu Xiang Nan the injection.
Lin Li - Let him sleep.
Bai Cao - I will be staying here.
Guang Ya - I will be staying here too.
Bai Cao - You guys go to your rooms and sleep.
Guang Ya - Yeah.
Chang An - I think we should go. Let the daughters take care of their father.
Ting Hao - Yeah.
Then everyone started going out from the room. Bai Cao and Guang Ya was sitting next to Qu Xiang Nan. One on his left and another on his right.
Guang Ya - I am sorry, Bai Cao. I should have given him the medicine. All this happened because of me.
Bai Cao - No, Guang Ya. And I am sorry too. I should not have yelled at you.
Guang Ya - You did not yelled at me. You scolded me. And you are allowed to scold me.
After an hour.
Guang Ya slept but Bai Cao could not. She was continuously thinking about Ting Hao and about what she saw in Feng Yun Hall.
On the other side, Ting Hao was also not able to sleep. Then suddenly, he got a call. It was from Shen Bo. Ting Hao answered the call.
Ting Hao - Hello, Shen Bo. Did you find anything about Bai Cao's childhood?
Shen Bo - Yes, Senior Brother. I did find something.
Ting Hao - What is it?
Shen Bo - Actually, in her childhood, Bai Cao was stuck in a fire in which she lost her parents. But master Qu Xiang Nan saved her.
Ting Hao - Anything else?
Shen Bo - Yeah. Actually, some of their neighbors says that Master Qu Xiang Nan used to go somewhere every month. Sometimes with family and sometimes alone but after Bai Cao came, he never went there.
Ting Hao - Shen Bo, do one more thing. Check whether Bai Cao came from the US or not. Okay?
Shen Bo - Okay.
Ting Hao - Thank you, Shen Bo.
Then Ting Hao disconnects the call.
Ting Hao - How can there be so many similarities between two different accidents?
Ting Hao was thinking then suddenly, he remembers something.
FLASHBACK
* Note - It happened when they were shifting to the mansion in China.
Chang An was bringing taking out his luggage and was arranging them in the cupboard. Then suddenly, Ting Hao came there.
Chang An - What are you doing here?
Ting Hao - I was bored so I came here. What are you doing?
Chang An - Can't you see that I am unpacking my luggage?
Then suddenly, Ting Hao's eyes fell upon Chang An's wooden box.
Ting Hao - What is it? What is in it?
Chang An - I don't know.
Ting Hao - It's your box and you don't know what is in it!
Chang An - Yeah.
Ting Hao - Who gave you this? You should ask that person.
Chang An - If I could, then I would have.
Ting Hao - Who is gave you this?
Chang An - My mom. When she gave me this, she said that this is the box of my life. I don't know why she said that.
Ting Hao - Maybe she said it like that.
Chang An - Maybe.
FLASHBACK ENDED.
Ting Hao - Box of his life! Is there some meaning to it?
Then suddenly, Ting Hao remembered something else too.
FLASHBACK
*Note - This happened when everyone was in the US.
Ting Hao and Bai Cao were sitting on the grass, then suddenly, Ting Hao's eyes fell upon Bai Cao's key necklace.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, why do you wear that necklace with the key? What is the key for?
Bai Cao - I don't know. My mom gave me this and said that it's the key of my life.
Ting Hao - Key of your life!
Bai Cao - Yeah. I don't know why she said that. If I could I would have asked her. But unfortunately I can never ask her this question.
Ting Hao - I am sure that you will find the answer of this question.
Bai Cao - I hope the same.
FLASHBACK ENDED.
Ting Hao - Key of life. Box of life. Both of them were given by their moms. Does this means that Bai Cao is Ai Shu? No. What am I even thinking? How can Bai Cao be Ai Shu? And why would Master Qu Xiang Nan hide that Bai Cao is from the US or not? Why would he hide about her parents? Bai Cao can't be Ai Shu. I need some air.
Then Ting Hao went out of his room and started walking in the garden. He was walking then suddenly, he saw Bai Cao.
Both of them were looking at each other.
