Ting Hao(to himself) - Oh no! When did they all come? What am I going to do? How am I going to make her believe that I was just my phone? Will Ting Yi get to know about our plan? Will I be alive after that?

Ting Yi - Older Brother, what is all this? What were you doing with the glue?

Ting Hao - I was doing nothing. Actually, I was looking for my phone that I accidentally slipped and my hand went into the glue box.

Ting Hao(in his mind) - Who tells such nonsense lies?

Ting Yi - Brother, why have you become like this? So careless.

Ting Hao - I am sorry! But why are you guys here? We were about to come there.

Ting Yi - Actually, Xiao Ying is not well.

Ting Hao - What! What happened?

Ting Yi - Actually, she fainted because she overexerted herself. And I have decided to cancel the party.

Ting Hao - What! Why?

Ting Yi - Because Xiao Ying will not be able to attend my birthday party and I want all my friends to be there with me. And these parties and all doesn't really matter for me unless you guys are with me. If you all are with me on my birthday, then that birthday will be my best birthday. I don't need these parties and all, I want you guys to be with me.

Ting Hao - Are you sure, Ting Yi?

Ting Yi - I am damn sure, Older brother.

Ting Hao - Okay then, I will mail everyone that the party is cancelled, and we will put a note there on the Fang Mansion's gate.

Ting Yi - Okay.

Bai Cao - I guess we all should rest a little.

Ting Hao - Yeah, but please help with this first.

Bai Cao - Yeah, come with me.

Then both Ting Hao and Bai Cao went to the kitchen.

Ting Hao - Why did you bring me here?

Bai Cao - Will you wait for a little?

Ting Hao - What are you doing?

Bai Cao - I am heating water with salt.

Ting Hao - But...

Bai Cao - Please, Senior Ting Hao!

Ting Hao - Are you mad at me?

Bai Cao - No, Senior Ting Hao.

Ting Hao - I know you are mad at me.

Bai Cao - Yes, I am mad at you but a little.

Ting Hao - I am sorry.

Bai Cao - I am sorry too. I should have told you that they have come.

Ting Hao - Yeah, you should have, but I should have seen them.

Bai Cao - It's okay. Even if you messed up a little, you managed to make it right too.

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Bai Cao - Okay, come near the sink. I will put this hot water in your hand.

Ting Hao - What! Why?

Bai Cao - Because it is the best and effective way to remove glue from your hand.

Ting Hao - Are you sure.

Bai Cao - Yeah. Guang Ya's mother used to do the same thing.

Ting Hao - Okay, then.

Bai Cao - Come.

Then Ting Hao streches his hand near the sink. And Bai Cao was about to put water on Ting Hao's hand, but before she could, Ting Hao removed his hand.

Bai Cao - What are you doing, Senior Ting Hao?

Ting Hao - Are you sure that the water is not too hot?

Bai Cao - Yes, Senior Ting Hao, I am very sure.

Ting Hao - Okay.

Then Ting Hao again stretches his hand. And Bai Cao puts the hot water on Ting Hao's hand.

Then Bai Cao starts rubbing Ting Hao's hand. She holds Ting Hao's hand and starts rubbing it. Ting Hao was looking at Bai Cao without even blinking his eyes.

Bai Cao - The glues have come out from your right hand.

Ting Hao - Thank you!

Bai Cao - Did you forgot what I asked you? I said in friendship there is no sorry and no thank you. and don't thank me now your left hand is still left.

Then Bai Cao again started rubbing Ting Hao's hand.

Then suddenly, Bai Cao's hair came on Bai Cao's face, and it was disturbing her. Ting Hao noticed it, so he removes the hair from Bai Cao's face. As Ting Hao touched Bai Cao's face, Bai Cao raises her head. Both of them looked at each other's eyes and kept doing it continuously for a minute. They were lost in each other's eyes. They were holding each other's hands. Then suddenly Lin Li came there.

Lin Li - Can I get a glass of water.

Ting Hao and Bai Cao got disturbed. Lin Li saw them holding hands and she turned around.

Lin Li - I am really sorry! I will come after some time.

Both of them leaves each other's hand.

Bai Cao - No, Lin Li, why will you go. Come, I'll give you water.

Lin Li - No, I will take it on my own. You help Ting Hao, Bai Cao. Is there water in the fridge?

Ting Hao - Yeah, there is.

Lin Li - Okay.

Then Lin Li went near the fridge and took out the water.

Lin Li(in her mind) - What bad timing, Lin Li! Why do I do this all the time? They must be feeling awkward.

Ting Hao - Lin Li, can you please give me a glass of water?

Lin Li - Yeah. Bai Cao, do you need water too?

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Lin Li(in her mind) - Yeah, they are feeling awkward. I am really dumb.

Then Lin Li gave water to both of them.

Lin Li - Okay, I am going to Xiao Ying's room. Please come there fast we need to discuss the plan too.

Ting Hao & Bai Cao - Yeah.

Then Lin Li left from there.

Bai Cao - Come, Senior Ting Hao. Let me remove the glue from your hand.

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Then Bai Cao again started to rub Ting Hao's hand. Both of them were really awkward. Both of them were not looking at each other.

Ting Hao(in his mind) - What did I saw in Bai Cao's eyes? Was that the same thing that I always wanted to see in her eyes? No, Ting Hao, don't build up hopes.

Bai Cao(in her mind) - What was that? What just happened to me? Why was I lost in Senior Ting Hao's eyes? What is happening?

Then Bai Cao washed Ting Hao's hand.

Bai Cao - It is done.

Ting Hao - Yeah, thank you!

Bai Cao - Your welcome!

Then both of them went to Xiao Ying's room.

After they reached, they saw that everyone was there except Ting Yi and Chang An.

Ting Hao - Where is Ting Yi and Chang An?

Yi Feng - They left. Chang An asked as to think of a plan to make Ting Yi wear the dress which she wanted to wear on her birthday.

Ting Hao - Yeah, we need to think of an idea.

Bai Cao - I have an idea.

Guang Ya - What! Bai Cao, since when did you start to think of ideas for these kinds of situations?

Xiao Ying - Guang Ya, you don't know that Bai Cao's brain is filled with ideas. Just hear her idea.

Guang Ya - Okay.

Bai Cao - So, the plan is like this... we will directly ask Ting Yi to put on that dress. Senior Ting Hao, Ting Yi loves your cakes.

Ting Hao - Yeah, I know that.

Bai Cao - So, why not you make a birthday cake for her and we will ask her to wear that dress because you want to take pictures of her. And I will bring her to the ballroom. That is my responsibility.

Ting Hao - It sounds like a plan.

Xiao Ying - I told you, Bai Cao's brain is filled with ideas.

Ting Hao - Okay, I will make the cake but I need someone to help me. Who will help me?

Everyone raised their hand and pointed it at Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - Okay, I will help you, Senior Ting Hao.

Ting Hao - Okay, come.

Then Ting Hao and Bai Cao went to the kitchen to make the cake.

On the other side, Chang An and Ting Yi were walking and were talking.

Ting Yi - Chang An, you are the only one who didn't give me my birthday gift.

Chang An - Yeah.

Ting Yi - What do you mean by yeah? Give me my gift.

Chang An - Do you really want me to give it right now?

Ting Yi - Yes!

Chang An - Okay, come with me.

Then Chang An holds Ting Yi's hand and took her to his jeep. Xiao Yang was watching all of that from the window.

Xiao Yang - Sir is going close to Ting Yi. I can't let that happen. I should follow them.

Xiao Yang was about to come out of the room but before she could, she was stopped by Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying - Xiao Yang, where are you going?

Xiao Yang - I am just going for a walk.

Xiao Ying - Okay.

Then Xiao Yang went from there.

On the other hand, Chang An gave Ting Yi a box.

Chang An - Open it.

Ting Yi - Okay.

Ting Yi opens the gift, there was a rectangular shaped wood.

Chang An - Take it out.

Ting Yi - Okay.

Ting Yi took out that rectangular-shaped wood. As she turned it, she saw, on the wood it was written, "Ting Yi, Happy Birthday".

Chang An - How is it?

Ting Yi - It is really pretty. Did you make it?

Chang An(nodding) - Yeah.

Ting Yi - Thank you so much!

Chang An - You are welcome.

Ting Yi - Chang An, I want one more gift from you.

Chang An - What gift?

Ting Yi - You have to teach me wood art.

Chang An - Okay. I will teach you but remember, I am a ruthless teacher.

Ting Yi - Doesn't matter, I want to learn it, and I know that you will not be very harsh with me, right?

Chang An - Hmm...

Ting Yi was looking at the gift, she was really happy. Chang An was looking at her. Xiao Yang was watching all that. Then suddenly she went near them.

Xiao Yang - Hey, guys! What are you all doing?

Ting Yi - Nothing. Chang An was just giving me my birthday gift which he prepared for me.

Xiao Yang - Oh!

Both of them were glaring at each other.

Chang An - I think we should go inside, Ting Yi.

Ting Yi - Yeah, I think the same.

Then, all three of them went to Xiao Ying's room.

On the other side, Ting Hao and Bai Cao were preparing the cake.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, can you please pass me the whisker?

Bai Cao - Yeah, sure.

Then Ting Hao started whisking the cake batter.

Bai Cao - Is it done?

Ting Hao - It is ready to be baked. Go, preheat the oven. I will put it into the mould.

Bai Cao - Okay.

Then Bai Cao went to preheat the oven, and Ting Hao was pouring the batter into the mould.

After the oven got preheated.

Bai Cao - Senior, Ting Hao, the oven is preheated.

Ting Hao - Okay. Open it.

Bai Cao opened it, but accidentally she touched the hot stand kept inside the oven, but she didn't react. Then, Ting Hao went near the oven and kept the batter inside the oven.

After he kept the cake better inside the oven he noticed that there is a scar on Bai Cao's hand.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, what happened to your hand?

Bai Cao - My hand?

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, show me your hand.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, nothing happened.

Ting Hao - Nothing happened?

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Ting Hao - Then show me your hand.

Bai Cao - No, I don't want to.

Ting Hao - Show me.

Bai Cao - No.

Then Ting Hao holds Bai Cao hand. He saw that her hand was badly burnt.

Ting Hao - Why didn't you told me?

Bai Cao - Because I did not want to spoil your mood.

Ting Hao - My mood is not important more than you. Come with me.

Then Ting Hao took Bai Cao to his room.

Ting Hao - Sit down.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, there is no need to do that.

Ting Hao - Sit down, will you?

Then Bai Cao sat on the bed. And Ting Hao brought the first aid box.

He sat near Bai Cao and started applying the medicine on her hand. Bai Cao kept looking at him.

Bai Cao - Why do you love me so much, Senior Ting Hao?
