Ting Hao(in his mind) - Is there a chance for me now, Bai Cao? Can I finally be able to be with you?

Time passed a little, and both of them were still sitting there watching the stars together.

Then suddenly, Ting Hao got a call from Chang An.

On the phone

Chang An - Hello, Ting Hao!

Ting Hao - Chang An, is there any problem?

Chang An - No, everything is fine.

Ting Hao - Then... why did you call me?

Chang An - You will get to know if you will let me say. No wonder that Ting Yi is your sister.

Ting Hao - Chang An, do you want me to come there and beat you up?

Chang An - I don't think that you will be able to because by the time you will reach here... we all would have slept.

Ting Hao - Chang An, why did you call me?

Chang An - I called you because all of us here want to know that Bai Cao is okay.

Ting Hao - The phone is on speaker, right?

Chang An - Yeah.

Ting Hao - Why don't you all ask her if she is okay or not.

Then Ting Hao hands over the phone to Bai Cao and Bai Cao puts the phone on speaker.

Bai Cao - Hey, Guys.

Fei Yu - Bai Cao! What the hell, man! You are a Yuan Wu Dao champion, not a running champion.

Xiao Ying - We all know that already, Fei Yu.

Fei Yi - I know.

Xiao Ying - Then why are you saying this?

Fei Yu - Because Bai Cao always keeps on running. I think Bai Cao has got a confusion. Did you not Bai Cao?

Bai Cao - I guess... I have, but thank you, Fei Yu, for clearing out my confusion. Now I know that I am Yuan Wu Dao champion, not a running champion.

Fei Yu - You are welcome, Bai Cao.

And everyone started laughing.

Chang An - Okay, guys, jokes apart, when are you two reaching home?

Ting Hao - We will be there.

Xiao Ying - Did you guys eat something.

Ting Hao - Not yet, but we will have something soon. You guys have your dinner, okay?

Xiao Ying - Okay.

Ting Hao - Don't worry about us guys. Have your dinner and go to sleep.

Ting Yi - How will you guys get in after reaching here.

Ting Hao - I said don't worry, do what I said, okay.

Chang An - Excuse me, Ting Hao! You have no right to order me. I am the oldest, not you.

Ting Hao - I never even said that I am the oldest. I am still young and you are oldie. Don't worry, you still have your "I am the oldest" tag, okay?

Chang An - Ting Hao, you...

Ting Hao - Okay bye, guys! Good night! Have a nice sleep, oldie Chang An.

Chang An - You...

Then Ting Hao disconnects the call.

Chang An - You think I have no name for you? I am sorry to disappoint you but I have, Coward Ting Hao.

Everyone was controlling themselves from laughing, but after hearing this... they all were not to control themselves and burst into laughter.

On the other side, Ting Hao and Bai Cao were also laughing.

Ting Hao - I am sure that Chang An must be calling me Cowards Ting Hao.

Bai Cao - You know couch Chang An, right?

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Bai Cao - How?

Ting Hao - It's a really long story.

Bai Cao - Was couch always like this?

Ting Hao -Like how? How he is now or how he was earlier?

Bai Cao - Earlier.

Ting Hao - No. He was always playful... like he is now. He had a sister too. I don't remember her name, but what I remember is that she was really cute. I was one year older than her and Ting Yi was a few months younger than her. Then all of a sudden, Chang An with his whole family went to the US. After that... he completely changed.

Bai Cao - Do you know where couch's family is now?

Ting Hao - I don't know. And he don't even know where they are.

Bai Cao - Oh!

Ting Hao - Okay... let's go now.

Then Ting Hao was standing up but Bai Cao holds his hand. 

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, I...

Suddenly Bai Cao stopped. She was marks of a mosquito bite on Ting Hao's hands.

Ting Hao - What happened, Bai Cao?

Bai Cao - Nothing, Senior Ting Hao. Let's go.

Then Bai Cao raised her head and started watching the stars. Her expression was like she was sadly saying goodbye to all those stars. And Ting Hao understood that.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, I don't want to go home.

Bai Cao - Why?

Ting Hao - It feels nice here.

Bai Cao(looking at Ting Hao's face and thinking) - Did he understood that I want to stay here? Were my expressions so evident that he understood?

Then Bai Cao smiled.

Then suddenly... Ting Hao tweaked and Bai Cao was taken out of her thoughts.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, what are you thinking?

Bai Cao - Nothing. Do you really want to stay here?

Ting Hao(in his thoughts) - Did she understood that I want to stay here because she wants to. I don't want to lie to you Bai Cao, but I want to see you happy. Wait a second. How am I lying to her? She wants to stay here that why want to stay here too. In short, I want to stay here. That means that I am not lying.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao!

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Bai Cao - Do you really want to stay here?

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Bai Cao(in her thoughts) - If we will stay here, then many mosquitoes will bite him.

Bai Cao - I think we should go. There are many mosquitoes here. It will bite us.

Ting Hao - You don't worry about that. I know what I have.

Bai Cao - Wait, Senior Ting Hao.

Ting Hao did not stop. He went to his car and took out a bag from the car trunk. While he was taking out the bag, he saw marks of mosquitoes bite. Looking at that he smiled.

Ting Hao - That means... Bai Cao was saying all that because she saw these marks on my hand.

Ting Hao again smiled and took the bag with him to Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - What is in this bag?

Ting Hao - Some essential things

Bai Cao - What!

Then Ting Hao began taking things out of the bag. He took out some cup noodles, a water boiler, chopsticks, many water bottles and two sleeping bags. Bai Cao's mouth was wide open.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, what is all this?

Ting Hao - Essential things.

Bai Cao - Why do you have all this in your car today?

Ting Hao - I always have these things in my car.

Bai Cao - What! Why?

Ting Hao - Because in case if my car broke down in a place where there is no network then I will need these things.

Bai Cao - Why do I think that you have experience with that situation?

Ting Hao - What are you talking about?

And Ting Hao turned his face to the other side, but Bai Cao didn't leave teasing him.

Bai Cao - If you don't have any experience, then... that means that you put these things in your car on purpose.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, it's nothing like that.

Bai Cao - That means you have experience.

Ting Hao - No.

Bai Cao - That means you did this on purpose.

Ting Hao - Okay, I have experience with such kind of situation.
