Back in Senses

Ting Hao was sitting in the garden and was looking at some pictures of Baicao. Then suddenly Ting Yi saw Ting Hao sad. And Ting Hao went to the cafeteria. She started feeling more guilty and ran away. She ran so fast that Chang An missed her.

Chang An - Oh man! Where did she go? She was in front of me and suddenly she vanished.

Then Chang An started asking everyone about Ting Yi by showing her picture. But then suddenly Chang An bumped into an old lady who used to work in that hospital. And he showed her the picture.

Chang An - Aunty, did you saw this girl anywhere?

Old Lady - Ting Yi! Who are you and why are you looking for her?

Chang An - Do you know her?

Old Lady - Of course I do. But who are you?

Chang An - I am her friend. But how do you know her?

Old Lady - Every year on this day she comes here. I mean she used to come almost every day but this is the particular date which she never skipped.

Chang An - Why she used to come here and where can I find her?

Old Lady - She used to come here to meet her mom.

Chang An - What! Her mother is admitted here too? Where is her room?

Old Lady - It's on your right, Young Man. The room number is eight double O.

Chang An - Thank you so much. But what if I can't find her there.

Old Lady - Then she'll be in her secret place.

Chang An - Secret Place! Where is it?

Old Lady - Upstairs, top floor or you can say rooftop.

Chang An - Okay. Thank you so much, Aunty.

Old Lady - You're welcome.

Then Chang An went near Ting Yi's mother's room.

Old lady - Remember that the elevator is not working.

Chang An didn't hear what that old lady said. And he went inside the room. He saw that no one was there except Mrs. Fang. Then he came out of the room and went towards the elevator. There was board hanging. 

Chang An - Lift under construction! Ting Yi, I won't leave you. Because of you, I have to climb so many stairs.

Then he started climbing the stairs. There were a lot of stairs but he was not stopping. Then finally he reached.

Chang An - Finally I reached the roof. But where is Ting Yi?

Then he started looking here and there then suddenly he saw Ting Yi weeping. He went near her.

Chang An - Ting Yi.

Ting Yi - How did you know that I am here?

Chang An - Long story. But why are you here and why didn't you told me that your mother is admitted here?

Ting Yi - I wanted to but I was not getting a chance to tell you.

Chang An - If you want to tell me something then you can. I won't judge you.

Ting Yi - I know you won't judge me but I can't tell you anything. I just can't.

And she started crying and Chang An sat near her.

Chang An - It's okay if you don't want to tell me.

Ting Yi - I want to tell you everything but I just can't. I will tell you everything one day but not today.

Chang An - I understand. And I know you will tell me everything when you want to tell me.

Then Ting Yi put her head on Chang An's shoulder and started crying. But someone was watching them.

Person - Ting Yi is getting close to Chang An. Should I be happy or angry?

Then suddenly Chang An got a call from Yi Feng.

On the phone

Chang An - Hello, Yi Feng. Is everything okay?

Yi Feng - You just come here. And please bring Senior Ting Hao and Ting Yi too.

Chang An - Okay but...

Call Ended

Ting Yi - What happened? Is Xiao Ying okay?

Chang An - I don't know. He wants us to be there with Ting Hao.

Ting Yi - Okay. Let's go. I know where we can find brother.

Chang An - Okay.

Then they went to the garden of the hospital and they saw Ting Hao in the cafeteria.

Ting Yi - Brother.

Ting Hao - Ting Yi, what are you doing here? I told you I want to be alone.

Ting Yi - Yi Feng wants us to be there.

Chang An - And you are coming with us right now.

Ting Hao - Okay.

Then they went to Xiao Ying's room.

Chang An - What happened, Yi Feng?

Xiao Yang - Actually, I called you all, Sir.

Ting Yi(in low voice) - Sir!

Chang An - But why?

Xiao Yang - Because I want to show you guys something. Ting Hao and sir please sit down here.

Then they sat on the sofa and Xiao Yang brought her laptop.

Xiao Yang - I was actually looking at Baicao's phone then suddenly I thought I should hack her phone.

Ting Hao - But why?

Xiao Yang - I'll tell you. I hacked Baicao's phone and now I know that where Baicao had gone with her phone and for how long she stayed there.

Chang An - And what will we get after knowing this?

Xiao Yang - Baicao.

Ting Hao - How?

Xiao Yang - The answer is in front of us but we are not able to see it. And we have to find that answer. Something is missing.

Ting Hao - What is missing?

Xiao Yang - We have to find that only.

Ting Hao - Can you tell me where Baicao went with her phone today.

Xiao Ying - Yeah sure. She first went near a lake she was there for almost half an hour...

Ting Hao - Lake, which lake?

Xiao Yang - Leikou Reservoir Lake.

Ting Hao - Then?

Xiao Yang - Then she went to Quan Sheng Hall.

Ting Hao - What! Guang Ya, you didn't told me that she came there.

Guang Ya - She didn't. Before you came there, someone came too.

Ting Hao - Who came there?

Guang Ya - We don't know. Actually that person pushed the doorbell and he/she left. After I opened the door, I saw a packet there. It was filled with dumplings.

Ting Hao - Dumpling! The same one which you gave me, right?

Guang Ya - Yeah. No one was there except of this packet.

Xiao Yang - She is right, Ting Hao. Baicao was there for only 5 minutes. She didn't stay there longer.

Ting Hao - Then, where did she go after that?

Xiao Yang - Then she went to that place where we went. After that, the phone was with us.

Ting Hao - Can you tell me the routes? How did she go? From where?

Xiao Yang - Yeah, I can. But I need some time.

After some time

Xiao Yang was working on her laptop. She was trying to crack it but was not able to. Then Chang An brought black coffee for everyone.

Chang An - Come on guys. Drink this, you all really need it.

Ting Hao - Thanks, Chang An.

Yi Feng - Thank you.

Xiao Yang - Thank you so much, Sir.

Chang An - I won't give you coffee if you won't stop calling me Sir. How many time I have to tell you that we are friends. We don't have that professional relationship anymore.

Xiao Yang - Okay. Now go please don't disturb me.

Chang An - Ting Yi, coffee.

Ting Yi - Thank you.

Chang An - You are welcome.

Xiao Yang - Finally, I cracked it.

Ting Hao - Really?

Xiao Yang - Yeah. But can I ask you when did you leave to search for the girls?

Ting Hao - I guess 4:30. Why?

Xiao Yang - At 4:30, Baicao was there near the palace.

Everyone - What?

Xiao Yang - Yes, then she went to that place where we went.

Ting Hao - Wait a second. Before Baicao went to that place she went to Quan Sheng Hall, right?

Xiao Yang - Yeah.

Ting Hao - Then why did she took the long route?

Chang An - What do you mean?

Ting Hao - Xiao Yang, you check for the smallest route from Quan Sheng Hall to that place.

Ting Yi - Which place?

Ting Hao - Wait a second guys.

Xiao Yang - You are right, Ting Hao. This route is longer. There are two more routes from where she could have went there.

Chang An - What is going on in your mind, Ting Hao?

Xiao Ying - But that doesn't prove anything. Maybe Baicao knew this route only, that's why she went from here.

Yi Feng - It's possible.

Ting Hao - It is not possible because Baicao is the one who knows all the routes of Anyang.

Chang An - Yeah that's true. But why did she choose this route?

Ting Hao - I think Baicao wanted to come back to the palace. But she didn't or should I say she was not able to.

Chang An - Do you think that he is behind her disappearing?

Ting Hao - I think, no he is not.

Ting Yi - About whom are you guys talking?

Chang An - Nothing, Ting Yi. All three of you stay here. Me, Ting Hao and Yi Feng will be right back.

Guang Ya - But where are you guys going?

Yi Feng - To bring food.

Chang An - Let's go.

Then they came out of the room. They were about to reach the stairs but suddenly...

Ting Yi(running) - Guys, stop.

Chang An - What happened?

Ting Yi - Xiao Ying...

Yi Feng - What happened to her?

Ting Yi - Just come with me.

Then they all ran towards Xiao Ying's room.

Yi Feng - Xiao Ying! You are back in your senses. Am I dreaming?

Then suddenly Ting Yi pinched him.

Yi Feng - Ahh. What was that?

Ting Yi - To make you realize that you are not dreaming.

Then everyone started laughing. Then Yi Feng went to Xiao Ying.

Yi Feng - I am sorry, Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying - For what?

Yi Feng - It's all my fault. I should have hurried a little.

Xiao Ying - It's not your fault, Senior Yi Feng.

Yi Feng - I think you are right. It's not my fault. It's just that you are too heavy that I was not able to walk fast when you were on my back.

Xiao Ying - What! I am heavy?

Yi Feng nodded.

Xiao Ying - You...

And she hit him on his arm. But she was so weak that her hand started paining.

Xiao Ying - Ahh.

Yi Feng - Xiao Ying, are you okay?

Xiao Ying - Yeah. But where is Baicao?

Then everyone started looking at each other.

Xiao Ying - Why are you guys not answering? Where is she? Where is Baicao?

Then Ting Hao went close to Xiao Ying.

Ting Hao - I am sorry, Xiao Ying. It was my responsibility to bring back Baicao and failed in it. I am sorry.

Xiao Ying - It's okay, Senior Ting Hao. 

Ting Hao - How is it okay? I am not able to find Baicao. I don't know where she is.

And Ting Hao was about to go but Xiao Ying stopped him by holding his hands. And Ting Hao turned towards Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying - Senior Ting Hao, I guess I know where Baicao is.

Ting Hao - What! Really? Where is she?

Xiao Ying - Graveyard, you can find her in the graveyard.

It was a shock for everyone except of Guang Ya. She was not shocked but she was thinking something.

Everyone - Graveyard!

Ting Hao - Why did she go there?
