Bai Cao - That is my master, right?

Ting Hao - Perhaps he is.

Bai Cao(shouting) - Master!

Qu Xiang Nan turned towards the core of the voice and saw Bai Cao.

Guang Ya was also with him.

Qu Xiang Nan - Bai Cao!

Qu Xiang Nan & Guang Ya went towards Bai Cao.

Qu Xiang Nan - What are you doing here, Bai Cao?

Bai Cao - We came here to pick Lin Li. What are you both doing here?

Guang Ya - I have no idea, Bai Cao. Yesterday he just asked me the date and when I told him, he started yelling at me saying why I did not tell him that tomorrow is fourteenth.

Bai Cao - What is on the fourteenth?

Qu Xiang Nan - Nothing. I just lied to her because I wanted to see you.

Guang Ya - Really!

Qu Xiang Nan - Yeah. I knew if I would have said that I want to meet Bai Cao, you would never let me come to the US.

Guang Ya - It's nothing like that, pa.

Bai Cao - You should not have come, Master. You are really weak.

Qu Xiang Nan - Okay, okay. I am sorry. I will never lie again.

Qu Xiang Nan(thinking) - Sorry, Bai Cao. Sorry, Guang Ya. I can't tell you both the reason why I came here. But I will tell you both everything. I don't know how you will react, Bai Cao. I don't know after knowing the truth you will hate me or not, but I have to tell you the truth.

Ting Hao - Now that everything is sorted, then let's go home.

Bai Cao - Okay.

Qu Xiang Nan - You guys bought a house.

Ting Yi - Not us, Chang An bought this house.

Qu Xiang Nan - Chang An?

Bai Cao - Oh yeah, you guys never met each other. Master, he is our coach, Chang An.

Bai Cao said while pointing at Chang An.

Bai Cao - And coach, he is my master, Qu Xiang Nan. He is the one who took care of me like his own daughter.

Bai Cao said while pointing at Qu Xiang Nan.

Both Chang An and Qu Xiang Nan shakes hand with each other.

Qu Xiang Nan - Hello!

Chang An - Hello!

Qu Xiang Nan - What a coincidence! I know someone with the same name. He might be of your age only.

Chang An - Really! I also know someone who looks really like you. Have we met before?

Qu Xiang Nan - I don't think so.

Guang Ya - You are thinking like this because my father has a really common face.

Qu Xiang Nan - Yeah.

Chang An - And I have a really common name.

Ting Hao - Chang An, will you help me by telling me what the time is?

Chang An - Why should I? Don't you have your phone or your watch?

Ting Hao - No, I don't.

Chang An - Fine. It is six-fifteen.

Ting Hao - Six-fifteen. Should we not go home? Or else we will be late.

Chang An -  Yeah. Let's go.

Then everyone sat in the car.

There was a girl coming out of the airport. As she saw Ting Hao, she ran towards him yelling "Ting Hao! Ting Hao". But because there was a lot of noise they could not hear that girl and went from there.

Girl - Was that Ting Hao? Taxi!

Then a taxi came towards her.

Driver - Where do you want to go?

Girl - Please follow that car.

Driver - Yeah.

Then the driver started following Ting Hao's car.

After thirty minutes, they all reached their home.

Girl - Stop.

The girl kept looking at Ting Hao's car.

On the other side, everyone was coming out of the car.

They all went inside. Ting Hao and Bai Cao were taking out something from the car. Then suddenly, Bai Cao stumbles. She was about to fall but before she could, Ting Hao holds her from her waist.

At that time, they heard a voice.

Girl - Ting Hao!

They turned towards the girl.

Ting Hao - Guo Guo!

Bai Cao looked at Guo Guo first, then she looked at Ting Hao.

Ting Hao was looking at Guo Guo. Bai Cao stood up.

She was going a little away from Ting Hao but he holds Bai Cao's hand.

As Guo Guo saw that she ran towards Ting Hao and hugged him.

Guo Guo - Ting Hao, how are you?

Ting Hao pushed Guo Guo away.

Ting Hao - Happy...

Guo Guo smiled.

Ting Hao - Until I saw you.

The smile vanished from Guo Guo's face.

She looks downwards and saw Ting Hao still holding Bai Cao's hand.

She glared at Bai Cao. But Bai Cao did not react to her glare.

Then Guo Guo smiled and extends her hand towards Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - Hi, I am Xian Guo Guo.

Bai Cao wanted to extend her hand towards Guo Guo, but Ting Hao did not leave her hand.

She looked at Ting Hao and asked Ting Hao to let go of her hand with her gesture.

Ting Hao shakes his head left and right saying no to Bai Cao with his gesture.

Bai Cao - Hi, I am Bai Cao.

Guo Guo - Bai Cao, please do me a favour. Can you please go inside? I need to talk to Ting Hao alone.

Ting Hao - No. Bai Cao is going to stay here. Say whatever you want to say in front of her.

Guo Guo - Is she your girlfriend?

Ting Hao - It is none of your concern. Say whatever you want to say.

Guo Guo - That means, she is not your girlfriend.

Ting Hao - Non of your concern, Guo Guo.

Guo Guo - Bai Cao, please... you understand. I need to talk to Ting Hao alone.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, let me go.

Ting Hao - No, Bai Cao. You are going to stay here. I have nothing to hide.

Bai Cao - I know that.

Guo Guo - Oh, really? Then who am I?

Bai Cao - You must be Senior Ting Hao's Ex-girlfriend. Right?

Ting Hao - How did you get to know?

Bai Cao - Looking at how she is behaving, I understood.

Guo Guo - Right. I am his ex-girlfriend, so can you please go inside? I need to talk to him alone.

Guo Guo said that in a loud voice.

Ting Hao - Put your voice down. You have no right to yell at Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, let me go.

Then Bai Cao began to free her hands from Ting Hao's hand but Ting Hao did not let go of Bai Cao's hand.

Guo Guo - It's your habit to hold people who don't want to be with you. First me, now her.

Bai Cao stops freeing her hand and holds Ting Hao's hand tightly.

Bai Cao - Excuse me! What did you just say? He holds people who don't want to be with him! Really! Then why are you here?

Guo Guo - What do you mean?

Bai Cao - You just said that you did not want to be with him, right? Then why are you here? And where is your boyfriend for whom you left Senior Ting Hao?

Guo Guo said nothing.

Ting Hao was looking at Bai Cao. He had a smile on his face.

Bai Cao - Now say whatever you wanted to. I will stand here until Senior Ting Hao asks me to leave.

Guo Guo grabs Ting Hao's right hand.

Guo Guo - Ting Hao, please forgive me. I am sorry.

Guo Guo started crying.

Ting Hao - Why suddenly you are seeking my apologies?

Guo Guo - Because I understood.

Ting Hao - Understood what?

Guo Guo - I understood how much it pains when you get cheated by someone.

Ting Hao - Good.

Then Ting Hao pushes Guo Guo's hand.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, let's go.

They were about to get inside but before they could, Guo Guo hugged Ting Hao again.

Guo Guo - Let's get back together, Ting Hao. I really love you.

Ting Hao pushes Guo Guo away.

Ting Hao - You love me! Then why did you leave me?

Guo Guo - Because I was greedy. That guy was even richer than you. But you are the only one whom I loved from the bottom of my heart. That's why I ran away from my engagement. Remember? I was going to get engaged with one of my childhood friends and I ran away from there because I loved you.

Ting Hao - I remember that, Guo Guo. And maybe you do love me. But who knows that you will not cheat me again if you will meet another rich guy. You know... once a cheater, is always a cheater.

Guo Guo - I know that, Ting Hao. But I have understood that nothing is important than love. When I was with him, I could buy everything, but I could not spend time with him. But with you, I could spend time. You loved me and I know that deep inside, you still love me.

Ting Hao - Stop dreaming, Guo Guo. I stopped loving you the day I saw you with that other guy.

Guo Guo - If you stopped loving me that day only, then why were you in desperation for months?

Ting Hao said nothing. Bai Cao kept looking at Ting Hao.

Ting Hao lower down his head and sees Bai Cao's hand in his hand. He raises his head and looks at Bai Cao.

Ting Hao - You are right. I was in desperation but not for months, only for one month. But then, I thought, why am I thinking about you. I tore all your photos, burned everything related to you even my dress which I wore when you were with me. Then my new life started. And now, I love Bai Cao. You are my past, Guo Guo. And I don't care about my past. I don't even care about my future. I only care about my present which is Bai Cao. I am happy spending time with her doesn't matter as friends or as a couple. Let's go, Bai Cao.

They were about to go inside but at that moment, Ting Yi came out.

Ting Yi - Brother, Bai Cao, what are you two doing here? We are already late.

Guo Guo - Ting Yi!

Ting Yi turned towards Guo Guo. Her eyes went wide.

Ting Yi - What are you doing here?

Guo Guo went near Ting Yi and hugged her. And Ting Yi immediately pushes her away.

Ting Yi - What the hell! Why did you hug me? Now I will have to change my dress.

Ting Hao - Why? Because she hugged you?

Ting Yi - Obviously. Because she hugged me, my dress got dirty just like her mind.

Ting Hao - That means I will have to change my dress too because she hugged me too.

Ting Yi - Let's go, brother.

Then Ting Yi went inside.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, let's go.

Bai Cao - You go first, Senior Ting Hao. I will be there in a minute.

Ting Hao - Okay

Then Ting Hao also went inside.

Bai Cao - I am sorry for their behaviour but maybe you might have understood what you have lost.

Guo Guo - You wait and watch how I will make him mine again.

Bai Cao - In love, nothing is yours, not even the person you love. Have a good day.

Saying that, Bai Cao went inside.

Guo Guo - You wait and watch, Bai Cao.

Then Guo Guo also went from there.

Inside the house.

Bai Cao - Why are you all sitting like this? We are getting late.

Chang An - We are not going now, Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - Why?

Chang An -  Both brother and sister went to change their clothes.

Bai Cao - They really went! I thought they were just kidding. By the way, where is master?

Guang Ya - He went inside. Actually, he was really tired and he said that he have to go out somewhere.

Bai Cao - Ok.

Chang An - What happened outside?

Bai Cao - We met Senior Ting Hao's Ex.

Everyone - What!

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Xiao Ying - What was she saying?

Bai Cao - She wants to get back with Senior Ting Hao.

Everyone starts laughing.

Everyone - In her dreams.

Then everyone again started doing what they were.

Bai Cao - Don't you guys want to know how Senior Ting Hao reacted?

Chang An - We all know what he would have said.

Bai Cao - How?

Chang An - Because we know what he will say.

Ting Hao - Let's go guys. We are late.

Chang An - Let's go.

Xiao Ying - You won't be coming, right, Senior Yi Feng.

Yi Feng - Yeah. I have to go to meet my uncle and aunt. I will come in the afternoon.

Ting Hao - Okay then, let's go guys.

Then everyone went towards Feng Yun Hall.

Yi Feng - Lin Li, go get ready.

Lin Li - Yeah.

Then Lin Li went to get ready.

After a couple of minutes, she came out and then Yi Feng and Lin Li went towards the graveyard.

As they went out, Qu Xiang Nan came out of his room.

Qu Xiang Nan - Guang Ya, I am going out.

Guang Ya - But where are you going?

Qu Xiang Nan - I have an important work. I will come back soon.

Guang Ya - Okay, but Senior Yi Feng said that in the garden there is his cycle. He asked you to take his cycle when you are going out.

Qu Xiang Nan - Then how did he go?

Guang Nan - He has his own car, pa.

Qu Xiang Nan - Yeah. Then I will take his cycle.

Then Qu Xiang Nan sat on Yi Feng's cycle and went from there.

On the other side, Yi Feng and Lin Li reached the graveyard. They had two flower bouquets in their hand. They went inside.

They kept the bouquet on two graves.

Yi Feng - Uncle Fen Hua. Auntie Xian Mei. How are you two? I hope you both are happy.

Lin Li - Auntie, I really miss you. I miss you too, uncle. I miss my older sister and older brother too.

Yi Feng - I am really sorry, Uncle, Auntie. I could not find anything about them. Maybe the news was true. Maybe, they really... I am sorry.

Yi Feng had tears in his eyes. He went from there and sat in his car. Lin Li followed him and sat in the car. And then they went from there.

As they went from there, Qu Xiang Nan came there.

He went towards the same grave where Yi Feng and Lin Li were.

He kept the flowers on the graves and kneeled down. Tears started falling off his eyes.

Qu Xiang Nan - Fen Hua, Xian Mei, I am here. I know after a long time I came here and I am sorry for not coming here before. Fen Hua, I am sorry, I could not save you. Xian Mei, I am not a good brother. You gave me the place of your brother and I did not take responsibility. But Bai Cao, she is okay. She is just like you, Xian Mei. Just like you, Famous Martial Artist, strong, bold, sometimes she does not use her brain. She loves me as her own father. But she looks like you, Fen Hua. But, I couldn't save him. I don't know where he is. I don't know whether he is alive or not. You told me to save both of your children but I couldn't. I could not save your son, Xian Mei. I am not a good brother. Not by blood, yet, I'm your brother and I did not fulfil my responsibilities. But I will find out the truth and I will punish them who killed you two. I will find where your son is. I promise you two that, Xian Mei, Fen Hua. Please give me some strength to tell Bai Cao the truth. The truth about her. I am scared that she will hate me after knowing it. But I have to tell her. She is of age now. I need to tell her that you guys are her parents. You guys are Bai Cao's parents.

Then suddenly, Qu Xiang Nan heard someone calling him from behind.

Person - Qu Xiang Nan.

He turned back.

Qu Xiang Nan - Elder Xiang.

Note* Elder Xiang is one of the Elders of Feng Yun Hall

Elder Xiang went towards Qu Xiang Nan.

Elder Xiang - Qu Xiang Nan, long time. How are you?

Qu Xiang Nan - I am fine. How are you?

Elder Xiang - I am fine too.

Both of them were silent for a minute.

Elder Xiang - I am sorry, Qu Xiang Nan.

Qu Xiang Nan - For what?

Elder Xiang - For your loss.

Elder Xiang said that while looking at the grave of Fen Hua and Xian Mei.

Qu Xiang Nan - I will leave now, Elder Xiang.

Elder Xiang - Do you have any idea about their kids?

Qu Xiang Nan - No. I need to go now, Elder Xiang. My daughter is waiting for me.

Elder Xiang - Okay.

Then Qu Xiang Nan went from there.

Then suddenly a girl came near Elder Xiang.

Girl - Pa, why do you always come here?

Elder Xiang - I will tell you everything. Where do you want to go, Guo Guo

Guo Guo - I want to go to Feng Yun Hall. It's been ages since I met uncle Chen.

Elder Xiang - Okay then, let's go to Feng Yun hall.

TO BE CONTINUED.
