Xiao Ying - Call the person you love the most. Keep that in your mind that the person should be a female. And tell her how much you love her and how much important she is to you.

Ting Hao - Okay.

Ting Hao was standing up.

Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, why did you ask Senior Ting Hao to do this? Are you mad? He is drunk. Whomever he will call, what will she think of him?

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, we all know that all this is going to be between us only. He will surely call you.

Ting Hao was still drinking. He looked sad.

Chang An - Ting Hao, stop drinking and do the dare.

Ting Hao - Okay.

Xiao Ying - Before that, I also want a sip of that wine.

Then Xiao Ying snatches the wine bottle from Ting Hao's hand and took a sip from it.

Xiao Ying - Ahh! How old is this! I just took one sip and it gave me a headache.

Chang An took the bottle from Xiao Ying's hand and saw the year written on it. It was written that the wine was made in 1997.

Chang An - What is this, Ting Hao?

Ting Hao - Wine.

Chang An - I know that but why are you drinking such old wine?

Ting Hao - Because old is gold and as wine gets older it gets more delicious. By the way, what I had to do? Why did I stand up?

Xiao Ying - You had to call the most important female in your life and have to tell her how much you love her and how much she matters to you. And yeah, I would like to add one more thing, she should give a reply to whatever you will say to her.

Ting Hao - Oh, yeah. My dare.

Then Ting Hao took his phone out and searches 'LIFE'. As he saw that name, his expressions changed. Then he slides the number to the right. And the call got connected. Then suddenly, he presses the disconnect button. And started looking at his phone.

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, check your phone will start ringing now.

Bai Cao - My phone is in my hand.

Everyone was looking at Ting Hao and Xiao Ying took the wine bottle which was kept beside Chang An and started drinking from it. At that time, Yi Feng saw her drinking the wine and takes the wine bottle from her hand.

Yi Feng - Why are you drinking?

Xiao Ying - It's delicious.

Yi Feng - Is it that delicious?

Xiao Ying nodded. Yi Feng looked at the bottle. And starts drinking from it.
As he took one sip from it, he couldn't resist drinking, so he kept on drinking until Chang An saw him. As he saw Yi Feng drinking, he snatched the bottle from his hand and glared at him. But it was already too late. Both Xiao Ying and Yi Feng were drunk.

On the other hand, Ting Hao was still looking at his phone.

Chang An - Ting Hao, are you going to make the call today itself or tomorrow?

Ting Hao - No, I will make the call today only.

Then Ting Hao made the call and puts his phone in his ear.

Within no time, someone picked up the call.

Ting Hao - Hello!

When everyone heard Ting Hao saying Hello, everyone was shocked, including Bai Cao.

Chang An went near Ting Yi.

Chang An - Whom did he call? As much as I can see, Bai Cao did not get any call. Then with whom is he talking?

Ting Yi - How would I know?

Chang An - He is your brother, you should know everything about him.

Ting Yi - I also know that he is my brother, but that doesn't mean I should know everything about him. You also know that we can't tell what is going on in his mind.

Chang An - That's true.

Ting Hao - Give the phone to her.

Girl - Okay.

Ting Hao - Hello! I want to tell you something. Actually, I got a dare from one of my friends. She asked me to call the person I love the most. And the first name which came to my mind was yours. I have a lot of things to tell you, but I will just tell you that I love you... a lot. I can't forget you. No matter what I do, I just can't take you out of my mind. After all, you are my first love. My childhood love. I need you. I want you. I want you to come back. You matter a lot to me. I don't really have words but I have a question. Will you come back to me?

Everyone - What!

But there was no answer from the other side. Ting Hao started walking.

Ting Hao - Will you come back? For how long are you going to stay there? Are you not bored living without me? I am waiting for your answer. Are you coming back?

Still no answer from the other side. And Ting Hao was continuously walking back and forth.

Ting Hao - I am still waiting.

Ting Hao picked up the wine bottle from the table and started drinking.

Two minutes passed, but there was no answer from the other side. Ting Hao stopped walking and stood up where Bai Cao was sitting.

Ting Hao(yelling) - Why are you not answering? Don't you love me?

Tears started falling off Ting Hao's eyes.

Ting Hao - Don't you remember, in childhood, I used to say that I will marry you. You always smiled at me and patted my head. As I grew up, I always used to tell you my secrets. I want to share many secrets with you please... please come back!

Suddenly Ting Hao started feeling dizzy because he drank a lot of wine. He was about to fall but at that moment, Bai Cao holds him.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao!

Ting Hao lands in Bai Cao's arms. He turns his face towards Bai Cao.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao... Bai Cao, ask her to answer my question. Ask her to come back. Tell her that I love her a lot. Ask mom... to wake up.

Bai Cao(surprised) - Mom!

Chang An & Ting Yi(happily) - Mom!

Bai Cao was relieved when she got to know that Ting Hao was talking to his mother but sad at the same time.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, tell her to come back.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, she will come back for sure.

Ting Hao - Really?

Bai Cao(nodding) - Yeah. She is just resting. After all, she did a lot of work when she was awake, right?

Ting Hao nodded. Then suddenly, Xiao Ying shouted saying

Xiao Ying - Senior Ting Hao! How can you do this?

Ting Hao - What did I do?

Xiao Ying - Why didn't you call Bai Cao? See, she is sad, because you didn't call her.

Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, shut up!

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, are you sad? Did I make you sad? Were you expecting me to call you?

Bai Cao - No, Senior Ting Hao, it's nothing like that. I think you need rest. Couch Chang An, please take him to his room.

Chang An - Yeah.

Chang An went near Ting Hao and was about to hold his hand. But before he could, Ting Hao hugs Bai Cao.

Ting Hao - No, I won't go anywhere. I made Bai Cao sad and because I didn't realise it earlier, she is now angry with me. That's why she is sending me away.

Bai Cao - It's nothing like that, Senior Ting Hao.

Xiao Ying - No, it is. Bai Cao is angry.

Ting Hao - Yeah. I won't leave Bai Cao until she forgives me.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, I am not angry with you.

Ting Hao - If it is like this then, you take me to my room.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao!

Ting Hao - No, take me to my room.

Ting Yi - Bai Cao, take him to his room. You know how stubborn he is. Just take e him to his room.

Bai Cao - What about Xiao Ying?

Ting Yi - Don't worry, I will take care of her.

Bai Cao - Okay.

Then Bai Cao took Ting Hao to his room.

Ting Yi - So, I will take Xiao Ying with and you two take Yi Feng with you.

Chang An - Okay.

Ting Yi - Come on, Xiao Ying.

Then Ting Yi took Xiao Ying to her room. Chang An and Fei Yu took Yi Feng to his room.

At Yi Feng's room.

Chang An and Fei Yu puts Yi Feng on the bed.

Fei Yu - Oh my God! I didn't know Senior Yi Feng was so heavy.

Chang An - Yeah, you are right.

Fei Yu - Xiao Ying is heavy too. Don't you think that Senior Ting Yi will need our help?

Chang An - I do think so.

Fei Yu - Should we go?

Chang An - You stay here with Yi Feng. I will go.

Fei Yu - That will be much better.

Then Chang An came out of the room and went towards Xiao Ying's room.

Near Xiao Ying's room.

Ting Yi was bringing Xiao Ying to her room. At that time, Chang An comes.

Chang An - Ting Yi, I will help you.

Chang An was about to hold Xiao Ying, but before he could, Ting Yi yelled at him.

Ting Yi - I can do this myself.

Chang An - Ting Yi, why are you yelling?

Ting Yi - Wait, let me leave Xiao Ying to her room and then I will tell you why I am yelling at you. Wait.

Then Ting Yi started walking fast.

Chang An - Why am I feeling like that I am in danger? It's nothing like that.

Ting Yi puts Xiao Ying on her bed. She went towards Chang An, holds his hand and starts dragging him out of the room.

Ting Yi - What the hell, Chang An? Why do you think I can't do anything?

Chang An - It's nothing like that, Ting Yi. I just thought that Xiao Ying is heavy so I should come and check whether you need any help or not.

Ting Yi - Why do you think I will need help? Is it because I can't practice Yuan Wu Dao anymore? You think that I am weak because I can't practice Yuan Wu Dao. Everyone thinks that I am useless just because I can't practice Yuan Wu Dao.

Tears started falling off Ting Yi's eyes.

Ting Yi - I know that I don't fit in this group because I don't practice Yuan Wu Dao. But am I nothing? Were my Yuan Wu Dao medals mattered for all? I know. I am in this group because I am my brother's sister. Or else I would have never been able to have you guys in my life. I am nothing.

Saying that Ting Yi ran away from there.

Chang An(yelling) - Ting Yi, stop.

And Chang An also started running behind Ting Yi but Xiao Ying was awake because of Chang An's voice. She got up, came out of her room, looked here and there and started walking.

On the other side,

Bai Cao puts Ting Hao on his bed but Ting Hao doesn't leave Bai Cao's hand.

She sat next to him. She gently toches Ting Hao's face. Her eyes were filled with tears. She was not letting a drop of tear fall off her eyes, but when she touches Ting Hao, she could not hold her tears back and a drop of tear fell on Ting Hao's hand. When Bai Cao saw the drop of tear on Ting Hao's hand, she starts wiping it. Ting Hao slowly opens his eyes and sees that Bai Cao is crying. Ting Hao was still drunk.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, why are you crying?

Bai Cao quickly wipes off the tears from her eyes and lifts her face towards Ting Hao with a smile.

Bai Cao - Where am I crying? I am not crying.

Ting Hao - Don't try to fool me. I know you better than you know yourself.

Bai Cao - I know that, Senior Ting Hao.

Ting Hao got up and sits on his bed in front of Bai Cao. Bai Cao was still holding Ting Hao's hand with both of her hands. Ting Hao puts his hand on her hand.

Both of them just kept looking at their hands.

Ting Hao - Are you sad that I did not call you?

Bai Cao - No.

Ting Hao - Do you think that I don't love you anymore?

Bai Cao - No.

Ting Hao - Did you feel bad when I called my mom and told her that I love her.

Bai Cao - Yeah, I felt bad but until I got to know that you were talking to your mother.

Ting Hao - See, Bai Cao, I love you. I love you a lot and I can't even describe my love for you in words and I think that I will never be able to describe my love for you in this life.

Saying that Ting hao giggled.

Bai Cao - Why are giggling?

Ting Hao - You know, I am someone who never used to believe in the second birth and all. But after meeting you... actually, to be precise, after getting rejected by you so many times, I have started believing in the second birth. Do you know why?

Bai Cao - Why?

Ting Hao - Because I want to be with you. I don't know whether you will accept me in this life, but even if you won't, I want you to be with me in my next life. Doesn't matter in what relationship but yeah, it should not be a brother and sister relationship.

Both giggled.

Ting Hao - But that does not mean that I do not want you in this life. I want you. In all my lives. Because... I am incomplete without you. But I am sorry for not calling you at that time. But I love my mom a little more than you.

Bai Cao looked at Ting Hao with a smile but there were tears in her eyes. Ting Hao also looks at her, he extends her hand towards Bai Cao's cheeks and rubs it gently.

Ting Hao - Don't be sad anymore, okay?

Bai Cao shooked her head.

Bai Cao - Now I think, you should sleep. Lie down.

Then Ting Hao lies down on his bed. Bai Cao puts the blanket on him and was about to go put Ting Hao stops her by holding her hand.

Ting Hao - Don't go.

Bai Cao - Okay.

Bai Cao then sat on the bed next to Ting Hao. And Ting Hao slept.

Bai Cao - Thank you, Senior Ting Hao. Thank you for not calling me at that time because if you would have, I could not have stopped myself. You don't know how hard it was for me to stop myself from coming close to you. All these years... I stayed away from you and it was very hard for me. At first, I did not know that I fell in love with you. But later when you fell off that building, at that very moment, I knew that I have fallen in love with you. And that very moment, I understood that I have to stay far away from you.
