Ting Hao was already in the kitchen. He looked a little tense. At that time, everyone came.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, what happened? Is everything okay? Are you okay?

Ting Hao - Yeah, I am ok and everything is okay too.

Xiao Ying - Then why did you call us?

Yi Feng - Yeah. And what type of meeting is this?

Fei Yu - And why don't you call Senior Ting Yi and Senior brother Chang An?

Bingwei - Guys, will you all relax a bit? Let him say what he wants to say.

Ting Hao - Guys, relax. I will answer all your questions but first, I need to ask something to Bai Cao.

Xiao Ying - If you wanted to talk to Bai Cao, then you should have called her only. Why did you call us?

Yi Feng & Fei Yu - Yeah.

Ting Hao - I called you all because I wanted you all to be here.

Bingwei - For what? Moral support!?

On the other hand, Bai Cao was scared.

Bai Cao(thinking) - What do Senior Ting Hao wants to ask me? Is he going to propose? No. He should not. If he will, then I won't be able to resist. I won't be able to stop myself from confessing my love for him. No, God. Please, don't make him confess.

Then suddenly, Bai Cao was taken out of her thoughts when she heard Ting Hao yelling.

Ting Hao - Will you all shut your mouths for a minute!?

Bingwei - Fine. Why are you yelling?

Ting Hao - Shut up, Bingwei.

Then Ting Hao looked Bai Cao into her eyes.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, answer my question very honestly. Ok?

Bai Cao was scared to say "Ok".

On the other side.

Fei Yu(whispering) - Is he going to confess again?

Yi Feng(whispering) - Maybe he is.

Bingwei(whispering) - Will you guys shut up? Let me hear what he is saying. I need some water.

Then Bingwei picked a glass of water and started drinking the water. On the other side, Ting Hao keeps his hand on Bai Cao's shoulder and repeats his question.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, answer my question very honestly. Ok?

Bai Cao - Ok.

Ting Hao - Do you have any feelings for Chang An?

As Bingwei heard that, he spits out the water from his mouth and it went straight on Ting Hao's face.

Ting Hao - What are you doing, Bingwei?

Bingwei - This is not my fault, Ting Hao. This is your fault.

Ting Hao - Oh really! What did I do that made you spit the whole water in your mouth on my face?

Bingwei - Your question. What type of question was that? (imitating Ting Hao) "Do you have any feelings for Chang An"? Seriously, Ting Hao!

Ting Hao - Shut up.

Then Ting Hao again turned his face towards Bai Cao. On the other side, Yi Feng and Xiao Ying also started drinking water.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, you answer my question. Do you have any feelings for Chang An?

Bai Cao - No, Senior Ting Hao. I only see him as my coach. Nothing else.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, are you sure?

Bai Cao - Yes.

Then Bai Cao also picked a glass of water and started drinking whereas Yi Feng and Xiao Ying were still drinking.

Ting Hao - Well, I want to tell you guys that Chang An and Ting Yi loves each other.

As Bai Cao, Xiao Ying and Yi Feng heard that they all spit the water in their mouth which land straight on Ting Hao's face. As the water came on Ting Hao's face, he wipes it whereas Bai Cao, Xiao Ying and Yi Feng were coughing.

Ting Hao - What the heck! Am I some kind of washbasin that you all are spitting on me?

Xiao Ying - It's nothing like that, Senior Ting Hao. It's not even our fault.

Yi Feng - It's your fault. Why did you say something when we were drinking water.

Ting Hao - I can't believe this. You guys are so dead.

Then Ting Hao picks up a jug filled with water and threw the water on everyone except Bai Cao because she was standing in a different direction.

Ting Hao - Now feel the cold.

Fei Yu - Why am I drenched in water? What did I do? I didn't spit water on you then why me?

Ting Hao - Aren't you their friends?

Fei Yu - I am.

Ting Hao - So, the friend should always go through with what his friend is. I mean, if Xiao Ying and Yi Feng are drenched in water, then you should also be drenched in water as you are their friend.

Fei Yu - Seriously!

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Fei Yu - Then you both are also their friend, you should also go through with what they are going through.

Then Fei Yu picked a bottle full of water.

Ting Hao - Fei Yu, no. Don't do this. I am already drenched with their spit water.

Fei Yu - I know and if I will pour some more water, then you will be washed too. Then you will be drenched with fresh water.

Ting Hao - No.

Then suddenly, Ting Hao felt water coming down from his head. He looked back and saw Bai Cao pouring a glass of water on him.

Ting Hao - Why did you do this, Bai Cao?

Bai Cao - I wanted to do this that's why.

Ting Hao - Oh really! Then I want to do this.

Then Ting Hao threw a glass of water on Bai Cao too.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao!

Ting Hao - Now we all are equal.

Scene changed

Everyone was drying themselves up with towels.

Bai Cao - How did you get to know that they love each other?

Ting Hao - They both came and told me. Wait, you guys don't seem surprised after knowing that Ting Yi and Chang An love each other. You guys are surprised to know that I know that they love each other. Don't tell me you guys knew that they love each other, did you?

Bai Cao - Well, we all knew that they have started falling for each other.

Ting Hao(shocked) - What! Since when?

Bai Cao - Since Ting Yi's birthday.

Ting Hao - Really!  You guys knew about it for that long? Did they tell you guys themselves?

Bai Cao - No, we understood.

Bingwei - What type of a person you are, Ting Hao? You can't even see your sister's love for Chang An in her eyes. Even I noticed that they have something for each other. Shame on you, Ting Hao. How couldn't you...

Before Bingwei could finish saying, Ting Hao stuffed an apple in his mouth which was kept on the table.

Ting Hao - If you guys knew for so long, then why didn't you all tell me?

Xiao Ying - Because we were scared... we were scared that you will be against it and will try to part them apart.

Yi Feng - Yeah. After all, you hated Chang An.

Ting Hao - What are you guys saying? I wouldn't have tried to part them apart.

Bai Cao - Seriously, Senior Ting Hao!

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Bingwei - I guess you are wrong about yourself.

Ting Hao - I am not.

Bingwei - See, for example, earlier when you didn't know about what happened that night, you were not ok with me and Bai Cao talking, right? Doesn't matter what you say. And now, you are okay with me and Bai Cao talking. You are even okay with me putting my hand on Bai Cao's shoulder.

Saying that, Bingwei puts his hand on Bai Cao's shoulder. As Ting Hao saw that, he glared at Bingwei. As Bingwei saw Ting Hao glaring at him, he froze in shock. Yi Feng went near Bingwei and started whispering in his ear.

Yi Feng(whispering) - I guess, you took it a little far.

Bingwei(whispering) - I think the same.

Yi Feng(whispering) - Then you should remove your hand from Bai Cao's shoulder.

Then Bingwei removes his hand from Bai Cao's shoulder.

Bingwei - So, if I would have done this before, you would have killed me. In the same way, if you would have known that Chang An loves Ting Yi, then you would have killed him too.

Bai Cao - Yeah, Bingwei is right.

Ting Hao - Okay. Well, they have confessed that they love each other but the problem is that they haven't confessed in front of each other.

Bai Cao - Is there any thought in their mind to confess to each other?

Ting Hao - No. If they would have, then they would have said to me especially Chang An. I know him very well, he is really bad at expressing himself. And looking at Ting Yi, I think she is not planning to confess first.

Bai Cao - That means we have to do something.

Bingwei - Yeah, but what will we do?

Then suddenly, Bingwei's phone started ringing.

Bingwei - Why is he calling me?

Ting Hao - Who is it?

Bingwei - My secretary. It must be something really urgent or else he would have never called me when it's night here.

Ting Hao - Answer the call.

Then Bingwei answered the call.

Bingwei - What! Okay, book a flight ticket for tomorrow.

Then Bingwei disconnected the call.

Ting Hao - What happened?

Bingwei - Nothing serious. Just some office work.

Ting Hao - Ok.

Bingwei - But I have to go tomorrow. I have to be there.

Ting Hao - Okay, then we will drop you at the airport and then we will go to Feng Yun Hall.

Bingwei - Ok.

Bai Cao - I think, you should sleep now.

Bingwei - But do tell me about what is happening between Ting Yi and Chang An. And if they are going to confess, then do a video call to me.

Ting Hao - Okay, now go and sleep.

Then everyone went to their respective rooms and slept.

The next day,

As usual, Bai Cao and Ting Hao were cooking and everyone was sitting at the table.

At that time, Bingwei came down with his suitcases. Ting Yi was shocked to see that.

Ting Yi - Brother Bingwei, where are you going?

Bingwei - I have to go back to China, Ting Yi.

Ting Yi - Why?

Bingwei - Some office work.

Ting Yi - This is not done. You should have told me that you are going.

Bingwei - This plan was made yesterday night only and you were sleeping.

Ting Yi - You should have told me.

Bingwei - I am sorry. Next time, I will tell you everything. Promise.

Ting Yi - Don't forget to call me.

Bingwei - Okay.

Ting Hao - If you guys are done talking, then sit in your places because the breakfast is ready.

Then everyone started eating their breakfast.

After some time, they were finished eating.

They were ready to go. They sat inside the car and went towards the airport.

After an hour, they reached the airport.

They all came out of the car. Bingwei was taking his luggage out of the trunk of the car and Ting Hao went near him. 

Ting Hao - Bingwei, is it important to go?

Bingwei - Ting Hao, come out of your dream. I am not Bai Cao, I am Bingwei.

Ting Hao - I know that.

Bingwei - Oh you know that! I thought you are saying all this because you think that I am Bai Cao.

Ting Hao - Shut up! I was just saying this because I could not spend much time with you. I was the one who was misunderstanding you and I didn't even apologize for it properly.

Bingwei - A proper apology! Ting Hao, you are making me feel that we are not buddies anymore. You remember in childhood you used to take many things from my box. You used to eat my lunch and never said a single sorry for that. I want that Ting Hao with me. I want that relationship with you, not this one. Stop saying that you need to give a proper apology because if you will, then I will never come to see you. Understood.

Ting Hao - Yeah, I did.

Bingwei - Good. So, I will go inside now and don't forget what I said last night or else I will call Bai Cao.

Ting Hao - Don't you even dare.

Both of them smiled. Then Bingwei went inside. Everyone was waving their hands then suddenly, Ting Yi saw a familiar face.

It was no else but Chu Yuan.

Ting Yi(excited) - Brother Chu Yuan!

Everyone - What!

Ting Yi(excited) - See, it's brother Chu Yuan.

Then Ting Yi started yelling Chu Yuan's name.

Ting Hao(yelling) - Brother Chu Yuan! Brother Chu Yuan!

Chu Yuan heard her voice and spotted her waving her hands. He waved his hand too. Chang An was a little jealous seeing Ting Yi's excitement after seeing Chu Yuan coming.

As Chu Yuan came near them, Ting Yi hugged him from the side and Chang An could not bear seeing it so he turned his face to the other side...

Ting Yi - Brother Chu Yuan, what are you doing here?

Chu Yuan - Actually, I got a call from my college regarding my graduation.

Ting Yi - Oh! That means you will stay here for a week, right?

Chu Yuan - Maybe. It depends on my graduation.

Ting Yi - Then, why don't you stay with us? Right, brother?

Ting Hao - Yeah, I guess you should stay with us, Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan - But you guys might have to go to Feng Yun hall now, right?

Ting Hao - Nah. We have a lot of excuses to bunk a day from Feng Yun Hall. Right, guys?

Everyone(except Chang An) - Yeah.

Chu Yuan - What do you guys mean?

Ting Hao - Come sit in the car we will make you understand everything.

Then everyone sat in the car. Chu Yuan was sitting next to Ting Yi. Ting Yi was all the time holding his arm as usual.

Chang An was jealous but couldn't do anything. Ting Hao and Bai Cao were watching everything.

Ting Yi - Okay, let me tell you what happened here in the US.

Then Ting Yi started telling everything.

After an hour, they reached home but Ting Yi didn't finish telling him everything.

Both of them went into the garden and sat at the spot where Ting Yi and Chang An used to sit usually. Whereas everyone else was sitting inside on the couch watching TV but Chang An was all the time looking at Ting Yi and Chu Yuan laughing and holding each other's hands from time to time.

AFTER TWO DAYS

It was eight in the night.

Chang An was going towards the kitchen when suddenly, he reached in front of Chu Yuan's room.

The door was slightly open.

Chu Yuan - I love you. Will you be mine?

As Chang An heard that, he stopped and started peeping inside the room.

There he saw that Chu Yuan was on his knee with a box of ring and Ting Yi was standing in front of him.

Ting Yi had a smile on her face while she was looking at Chu Yuan.
