Ting Hao hang up the call. As he turned back... he saw Bai Cao standing there.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao!

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, let's go back home.

Just after saying that, Bai Cao went back and started packing everything. Ting Hao went near her and started helping her. Both of them said nothing.

After some time, they finished packing. Ting Hao went towards his car's trunk and started keeping everything in it, on the other side, Bai Cao sat inside the car.

Ting Hao(thinking) - Did she heard my conversation with Yin Xiu? If she did... then why is she not saying anything? And if she didn't... then should I tell her myself?

Then Ting Hao also sat in the car and started driving. No one was saying anything. Bai Cao was texting someone and Ting Hao was just driving. 

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, can you please give me your phone?

Ting Hao - Yeah sure.

Then Ting Hao gave his phone to Bai Cao. She was doing something on his phone.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, what are you doing?

Bai Cao - You will get to know. Just drive right now.

Then suddenly, Bai Cao made a call.

On the phone -

Bai Cao - Hello, couch!

Chang An - Yeah, Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - We are coming back home.

Chang An - Okay.

Bai Cao - I have texted you something please do that too.

Chang An - Okay, that will be done.

Bai Cao - Thank you.

Then Bai Cao disconnected the call.

Call ended.

Ting Hao(thinking) - Is she mad at me? But she does not seem to be. Then why did she made that call without telling me? Am I thinking too much? I am thinking too much. She has the freedom to call anyone.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, please drive a little faster.

Ting Hao - Okay.

Then Ting Hao speeded up the speed of his car.

After an hour, they both reached home. They came out of the car and Bai Cao ranged the doorbell. Xiao Ying came and opened the door for them. And they both went inside.

As they went inside, they saw that everyone was sitting at the dining table and were having their breakfast. Ruo Bai, Chu Yuan and Ma Li were also there.

Ting Yi - Did you guys eat anything?

Ting Hao & Bai Cao - No.

Chang An - So, come sit and have your breakfast.

Both Ting Hao and Bai Cao sat next to each other and they started having their breakfast.

Ruo Bai(thinking) - Since when did their relationship get so nice? Since when did they get so close that they didn't even come back home yesterday night and now... they are even having their breakfast sitting next to each other. Why am I even thinking this? I should not be thinking this. Ruo Bai, get on the track. Remember why you have come here.

After some time, they all finished eating their breakfast. Ruo Bai, Chu Yuan and Ma Li went to their respective rooms. Bai Cao and Xiao Ying were picking up the plates.

Bai Cao - Guys, I have something to say.

Then everyone looked at her.

Bai Cao - We are going to the US today itself.

Everyone - What!

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Ting Hao - Why are we going today? When did we discuss this?

Bai Cao - Let me ask you a question, Senior Ting Hao.

Ting Hao(irritatedly) - Ask.

Bai Cao - When are you going to tell me about your and Yin Xiu's conversation?

Ting Hao and everyone else was shocked.

Everyone - What!

Ting Yi - Yin Xiu called you, brother!

Ting Hao(scared) - You heard it, Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - Yeah, I did.

Ting Hao - But that still doesn't mean that you are going to take these types of decisions yourself. And what about the tickets?

Bai Cao - I have already booked them.

Ting Hao - When did you book the tickets?

Bai Cao - When we were coming back home

Ting Hao - How did you pay for it?

Bai Cao - With your phone.

Ting Hao - You booked the tickets with my phone and paid the money? 

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Ting Hao - How did you get to know my bank password?

Bai Cao - Ting Yi told me.

Ting Hao(angrily) - Ting Yi!

Ting Hao turned his face towards Ting Yi.

Ting Yi - I had no idea that she was going to do that.

Ting Hao was really furious.

Bai Cao - I think we all should go and pack our bags.

Ting Yi - Yeah. Bai Cao is right. We all should leave.

Then everyone went to their rooms and started packing the bags. Bai Cao was also going to her room but Ting Hao stops her by holding her right hand.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, why are you doing this?

Bai Cao - First you answer my question.

Then Bai Cao removes Ting Hao's hand from her hand and went to her room but suddenly, she stopped and turned back.

Bai Cao - If you want, then drink that.

Then Ting Hao looked towards the table and saw a can of cold drink kept there. He picked that up and started drinking it.

After few minutes, Ting Hao went to Bai Cao's room. He closed the door and pulls Bai Cao near himself.

Ting Hao - I did not tell you about it because I was scared. I was scared... that you will get hurt if we will go there. I was scared that they would do something to you... I told you the reason why I didn't tell you about my conversation with Yin Xiu. Now it's your turn, Bai Cao.

Then Ting Hao leaves Bai Cao and takes some steps back.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, please sit.

Ting Hao did not make any move. Then Bai Cao holds his hands, made him sit on the bed and sat beside him.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, do really you want to know the reason why I did that?

Ting Hao nodded.

Bai Cao stood up.

Bai Cao - I did that because I was scared too. And this is what I felt. I am not copying you. I don't want you to get hurt because of me.

Then Ting Hao stood up too.

Ting Hao - Okay, I understood... but please... let's cancel the tickets now.

Bai Cao - Why? Why do you not want to go now?

Ting Hao - Because it's risky. And you are not prepared enough to go there.

Bai Cao giggled.

Bai Cao - If you are waiting for me to get prepared enough, then that would never happen. I will never be able to get prepared to face things that I have never thought of.

Ting Hao - Then let's just don't go, Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - And you think that this is the only solution? Not facing the problem is not the solution, Senior Ting Hao, it's a failure. And you know that too.

Ting Hao - I know that, Bai Cao. But there is a lot of risks.

Bai Cao - It's okay, Senior Ting Hao. If we go to Fang Yun Hall, what will happen at most, they will break my leg, what else?

Ting Hao - How can you say that so casually?

Bai Cao - Because it's nothing. It's nothing in front of your life, Senior Ting Hao. You know what will happen if we will not go. They will kill you.

Ting Hao - No, Bai Cao. Nothing like that will happen.

Bai Cao - I want the same thing. But what if it happens? Do you even know what will happen to Ting Yi if something happens to you? If something happens to you what will happen to me? Have you ever thought that? What will we all do if something happens to you? Have you ever thought about that? Do you even know how will I live my whole life if something happens to you? Do you even know how important you are to us... to me? Please, Senior Ting Hao, I can't afford to lose you now. Not only me, no one can afford to lose you.

They both kept looking at each other's eyes.

On the other side, Everyone was sitting in a room. They all were very tensed

Xiao Ying - What is going on?

Yi Feng - We just confessed to each other and now we are going to separate.

Ting Yi - Guys, this is not what is important now. What we need to know is what is going on between Ting Hao and Bai Cao.

Chang An - I don't think so.

Ting Yi - Then what do think we should do?

Chang An - I think we should do what Bai Cao said us to do.

Ting Yi - But they must be fighting now.

Chang An - It is okay if they are fighting. I am sure that they both are scared for each other.

Ting Yi - What do you mean?

Chang An - See, we all know that Ting Hao loves Bai Cao a lot.

Everyone - Obviously.

Chang An - So obviously, he is scared that if she will go to Feng Yun Hall, she will get hurt. And I am sure that this is the reason why he didn't tell Bai Cao about his conversation with Yin Xiu.

Ting Yi - You are right.

Yi Feng - Then why is Bai Cao behaving like this?

Chang An - I don't know. But I am sure that she is doing all this for Ting Hao only.

Then suddenly, Gu Wei Yi got a call from his hospital. He went out and started talking.

While talking, he looked really tensed. He hanged up the call and went inside immediately.

Gu Wei Yi - Guys, I think I won't be able to come with you guys.

Lin Li - What happened?

Gu Wei Yi - There is a patient of mine. His condition is really critical. I have to be here.

Lin Li - I will not go too.

Gu Wei Yi - Why, Lin Li? You don't have to be here. Go to the US.

Lin Li - I don't want to.

Gu Wei Yi - Yi Feng, say her something.

Yi Feng - I leave this decision on her only. It's her decision if she wants to stay here with you or she wants to go to the US with us leaving you here alone.

Gu Wei Yi - Lin Li, it's okay. I won't be alone.

Yi Feng - This is the reason why she wants to be here.

Gu Wei Yi - What do you mean?

Yi Feng - She is afraid that if she will leave you here alone... you won't be alone.

Lin Li(angrily) - Brother!

Yi Feng laughed.

Lin Li - It's nothing like that, Gu Wei Yi. I trust you.

Gu Wei Yi - Then if you trust me, then go to the US and talk to your father about us. That is important too.

Lin Li - Being with you is more important. I know how risky operations are and I know if fail, how depressed we get.

Gu Wei Yi - I don't want that to happen.

Yi Feng - Can I say something?

Lin Li - No.

Yi Feng - Maybe this would make you guys even happier.

Lin Li - What is it?

Yi Feng - I approve your relationship with him, Lin Li.

Lin Li and Gu Wei Yi - Really?

Yi Feng - Yeah.

Then both Gu Wei Yi and Lin Li hugged Yi Feng.

Yi Feng - Don't worry, I will talk to dad about your relationship.

Lin Li - Thank you, brother. You are the best.

Yi Feng - I know that. Now leave me, it's too hot.

Then they leaves Yi Feng.

Yi Feng - Wait, now there are two tickets of no use.

Xiao Ying - Yeah.

Yi Feng - So, why not make it one?

Xiao Ying(irritated) - Why don't you speak in simple language?

Chang An - Xiao Ying, his language is not hard, your brain is slow.

Then Xiao Ying looks at Yi Feng and Yi Feng nods at her.

Yi Feng - He is right.

Xiao Ying - So, if you understood what he said, then tell me.

Chang An - He said that, if he will also come to the US with us, then only one ticket will be of no use.

Xiao Ying - Ooo... you said that.

Yi Feng - Yeah.

Xiao Ying - But if you will come, then who will take care of Song Bai Hall?

Yi Feng - Ruo Bai.
