Ting Hao is driving his car and a paper is kept next to him.
It was the same paper he got in Charles's office.
He was looking at it again and again while driving.
Soon he reached home.
He came out of the car with the paper.
He ranged the bell and Bai Cao opened the door.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, where were you?
Ting Hao said nothing and went inside.
He sat on the sofa.
Everyone was there sitting on the sofa.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, what happened?
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, sit next to Chang An, please.
Bai Cao - What!
Everyone was a bit confused.
Ting Hao - Do as I say.
Then Bai Cao sat next to Chang An and Ting Hao sat in front of them.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, Chang An, I need to tell you both something.
Chang An - OK.
Ting Hao - I took a DNA test of you two.
Chang An & Bai Cao - What!
Chang An and Bai Cao stood up while saying that. Everyone was in a shock.
Chang An - Why did you do that?
Then Ting Hao holds Bai Cao and Chang An's hand while saying.
Ting Hao - Sit down you guys.
Both Bai Cao and Chang An sat down again.
Ting Hao - The result is out.
Ting Hao said that while unfolding the paper.
Ting Hao - And it says that you guys are brother and sister.
Ting Hao smiled after saying that.
Everyone was surprised and on the other side, Bai Cao and Chang An were dumbfounded.
Chang An quickly takes the paper from Ting Hao's hand and starts reading it.
While Chang An was reading.
Ting Yi - This means that Bai Cao is Ai Shu?
Ting Hao nodded with a smile.
On the other side, Chang An went to his room leaving the DNA report on the sofa.
Bai Cao picked up the paper and started reading it.
On the other side, Ting Yi followed Chang An.
Chang An went inside his room and shuts the door but he forgot to lock it.
Ting Yi slowly opens the door and found Chang An sitting on the ground crying.
She went near him and sat next to him.
Ting Yi(softly) - Chang An!
Chang An looked at Ting Yi. As he saw Ting Yi sitting next to him, he hugged her tight and started crying.
On the other side, Bai Cao was crying after seeing the DNA report.
Ting Hao went near Bai Cao to console her.
As he went near her, Bai Cao hugged him tightly.
Bai Cao - Thank you, Senior Ting Hao. Thank you so much. I always prayed for my brother to come back. And today I got him back after so many years. All because of you. If you would not have been there, then I would have never been able to find my brother even if I would have given my life for it. Thank you so much, Senior Ting Hao.
Ting Hao - You are welcome, Bai Cao.
Ting Hao said while patting her back lightly.
On the other side, Chang An was still crying while hugging Ting Yi.
Ting Yi was rubbing his back softly but there was a little tension on her face.
Ting Yi - Chang An, are you sad about Bai Cao being your sister Ai Shu?
Chang An - What do you mean?
Ting Yi - I mean, do you still like Bai Cao?
Chang An - Ting Yi, what are you saying? I love you. Why do you think that I will still like Bai Cao? And if you have forgotten then let me remind you that Bai Cao is Ai Shu and Ai Shu is my biological sister.
Ting Yi - I know, Chang An. But you once loved her. So, I just thought that maybe you still like her or maybe still have some feelings for her.
Chang An - Ting Yi, I love you. And to be honest, now I think that I never loved Bai Cao in the way I love you. I know that you might be thinking that I am lying or I am just making up excuses but I am saying the truth. You know, I always felt a strong and strange connection with Bai Cao and I thought it was love but now, I think... actually, I know that it was not love. It was the connection between a brother and a sister. Even if I and Bai Cao didn't realize that we are siblings, our heart knew it... our heart knew that we are brother and sister. It was never love, Ting Yi. I only loved you, no one else. And these tears are of happiness not sadness.
Ting Yi - Well, if it's the case then don't you think that you should talk to Bai Cao also?
Chang An - I don't have the guts to face her. She must have a lot of questions in her mind. I don't know how to face Bai Cao.
Ting Yi - Chang An, she is Ai Shu... your Ai Shu. You know her the best, don't you? Just go and say what you want to say.
Chang An - But what if she hates me?
Ting Yi - If she would have hated her brother, then finding her brother would not have been her biggest dream. Right?
Chang An lowered down his face. Ting Yo went near him and puts her hands on his arms.
Ting Yi - Chang An, she loves you... a lot. More than questions, she might have a lot of things to share with you. And I know that you also want to know what happened that day. Maybe she knows what happened. You only said that she was inside when that fire accident happened, right?
Chang An - Yeah.
Ting Yi - Then maybe she remembers it. Maybe she knows who is behind your parents' death.
Chang An - Yeah. You are right.
Ting Yi - Let's go then.
Then Ting Yi and Chang An went towards the hall again.
There they saw that Bai Cao was crying while Ting Hao was consoling her.
Chang An went near her. As Bai Cao saw him, she stood up while wiping her tears.
Chang An - Bai Cao, I seriously don't know what to say right now and to be honest, since childhood, I didn't even knew that I had a sister all because of Feng Yun Hall. If they would not have erased my memories, then I would have never forgotten about you.
Bai Cao - I know... I know, coach, that you have had a really hard life. You have suffered a lot and I have no complaints against you. I also didn't remember much. I also forgot that I had a brother but thanks to Fei Yu who reminded me of the biggest dream of my life. And today, that dream has come true and it really feels like a dream. I can't believe that you are my brother. But I am honoured to have a brother like you.
Chang An - And I am blessed to have a sister like, Bai Cao.
Yi Feng - I want to say something too.
Everyone turned their face towards Yi Feng. Yi Feng's eyes were teary.
Yi Feng - I have no words to express how happy I am, but when were I was with Bai Cao, I felt like I am with Ai Shu. I always prayed that Ai Shu should be like this. Even with Chang An... I felt like I was with my brother. But I never knew that I was with them all these years. All these years I blamed myself for not being able to find you guys.
And Yi Feng started crying.
Yi Feng - I want a hug.
Hearing that, both Chang An and Bai Cao went near him and hugged him.
One by one, everyone started hugging them from the back except Ting Hao.
Ting Hao was standing looking at them with a smile and Bai Cao saw him standing.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, do you need an invitation?
Chang An - Yeah. Or do you feel disgusted by us?
Ting Hao smiled and went to hug them.
After a couple of minutes, everyone was sitting on the couch.
Chang An - Bai Cao, do you remember what happened that day?
Bai Cao - No. I don't remember anything... but...
Chang An - But?
Bai Cao - I always got to see a nightmare... since childhood.
Ting Hao(thinking) - So, her nightmare is about that fire accident! All these years, she used to see nightmares of that accident when she lost her parents. It would have been really hard for her.
Chang An - What is that nightmare, Bai Cao? If you are ok with sharing it, then tell us.
Bai Cao - In that nightmare, I see mom hugging me. It's usual... it's usual for a mom to hug her child but what was unusual in my case was that my mom's skin was melting because she was in the middle of the fire. She was hugging me so that fire should not touch me. She didn't allow a fire flame to touch me while she was burning. All that time, she was telling me how much she loves me... what I mean to her. Mom died because of me. It would have been better if she would not have found me. Maybe then, she would have been alive. It's my fault that mom died.
Ting Hao - It's not your fault, Bai Cao. It was nobody's fault. It was a tragedy.
Bai Cao - It was not a tragedy, Senior Ting Hao.
Chang An - What do you mean?
Bai Cao - I don't remember clearly but there were some sounds that I heard that day. A man was telling mom to run saying that he would not be able to hold him for long.
Chang An - You remember who that man was?
Bai Cao - No, all these things were blurry. I could only hear the sounds clearly but yesterday when I was in the hospital, I could not even hear the voice clearly. Everything was blurry. In short, I remember nothing. I just have flashes that too not clear.
Chang An - It's ok.
Ting Hao - Well, I have an idea to help you guys remember what happened that day.
Chang An & Bai Cao - How?
Ting Hao - Let's go to places you visited in your childhood with your parents. Maybe, it will help you guys remember everything.
Chang An - It's a good idea.
Then suddenly, the bell ranged.
Bai Cao - Did someone order something?
Everyone started shaking their heads left and right.
Bai Cao - Then who might it be?
Ting Hao - Why don't you guys go and check yourself.
Ting Hao said that with a smile.
Ting Hao - Chang An, Bai Cao, go and check who it is.
Bai Cao - Ok.
Then both of them went towards the gate and opened it, while everyone else was looking at them from the back.
As they opened the door, they saw Li Na standing there.
Seeing her, Bai Cao's eye started to get teary.
Looking at Bai Cao, Li Na understood that Bai Cao is Ai Shu.
She turned her face towards Chang An.
Chang An's eyes were teary too but he had a smile on his face.
Li Na - Is what I'm thinking true?
Chang An smiled and nodded.
Li Na looked at Bai Cao and a drop of tear falls.
She quickly hugged Bai Cao.
Li Na - I waited for you a lot, Ai Shu.
Bai Cao - Sorry to keep you waiting.
Chang An - Can I join too?
Li Na - Of course.
Yi Feng - Then I am joining too.
Then both Chang An and Yi Feng to hug them but before they could, Li Na stopped them.
Li Na - By the way, where is my sister-in-law? I want them here too and I want you to be here with us too, Ting Hao. Only because of you, we are reunited.
Then everyone had a group hug.
Ting Yi - Guys, let's have a party.
Xiao Ying - Yeah, it's a good idea.
Li Na - But I have to go to the office. I came here leaving a meeting. Why don't you guys party without me?
Chang An - No, Li Na. How can we have a party without you? You are our family too.
Ting Yi - Yeah. Just tell us when you will be free. We will party at that time.
Li Na - Fine. Then I will be here in the evening. Will it be ok?
In the evening.
Everyone was waiting for Li Na but she was a bit late when suddenly, the bell ranged.
Bai Cao ran towards the door and opened it.
Li Na - I am really sorry for being late.
Chang An - Being late is your childhood problem, Li Na. I remember that in childhood, we always used to be late because of you.
Li Na - Oh please, Chang An, stop lying. I was always on time. You were the one who was late all the time.
Chang An - Don't lie.
Li Na - I am lying!
Chang An - Yeah.
Li Na - Fine. Then everyone will eat the cake I prepared, except you. You won't even get a bite of it.
Chang An - I don't even want your cake.
Bai Cao - Can you guys please stop fighting? If you both have forgotten, then let me remind you that we are gathered here to party.
Ting Yi - Correct. We are here to party, not to fight.
Ting Hao - You know, I really doubt that Bai Cao is the youngest because right now, she is acting as the oldest sibling whereas you guys are acting like kids.
Everyone started giggling while Chang An and Li Na had nothing to say.
Bai Cao - Let's eat the cake.
Xiao Ying - I have already brought the knife.
Then Bai Cao started cutting the cake.
After some time, everyone was playing games while Ting Hao was sitting on the sofa drinking beer.
Ting Yi - Brother, play with us. Please.
Ting Hao - Ting Yi, I seriously don't want to play anything. You guys.
Chang An - Are you sure, Ting Hao?
Ting Hao - Yeah. I seriously don't want to play truth and dare. You know that I don't have a good experience in this game.
Bai Cao - Then we should change the game.
Ting Hao - Why will you guys change the game? Don't change the game. I know that you all love playing truth and dare.
Ting Yi - Yeah we do but we can play something else too.
Ting Hao - I won't play even if you guys change the game. I will go out if you guys change the game. Do you guys want that?
Everyone - No.
Ting Hao - Then play.
Ting Yi - Ok. Then I want to add one more thing. If someone does not want to answer or does not want to do the dare, then they have to drink a whole can of beer as a punishment.
Chang An - I am ok with it.
Yi Feng - I am ok with it too.
Xiao Ying - Same here.
Li Na - Same here.
Bai Cao - I am not ok with it. I don't drink beer you know that, Ting Yi.
Ting Hao - I will drink in place of Bai Cao. Will it be ok?
Ting Yi - Yeah. Then go and sit beside Bai Cao.
Then everyone started playing.
After some time, Ting Yi was drunk. So was Li Na, Xiao Ying and Yi Feng. But Chang An was sober.
Whereas Ting Hao was drinking even though Bai Cao answer all of the questions that were asked to her. But he was pretty sober.
Ting Yi - Now, I will spin.
Chang An - Ting Yi, let's end this game.
Ting Yi - I want to play more.
Chang An - We have played a lot and you are drunk too.
Ting Yi - Once, please!
Ting Yi said that with a puppy face.
Chang An - Ok fine. But it's the last time, ok?
Ting Yi - Yeah. Last time.
Then Ting Yi spins the bottle.
It spined ned twice and then stopped on Bai Cao.
Ting Yi - Yay! It stopped on Bai Cao! Now I will ask her a question. No one else. Ok?
Chang An - Yeah, Ting Yi. No one will ask her a question.
Ting Yi - So, Bai Cao, are you ready for the question?
Bai Cao - Yeah.
Ting Yi - So, the question is... who do you love the most?
Hearing the question, Bai Cao's eyes went wide.
