IT'S ALL DUST
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, I want to ask you a question.
Bai Cao - Okay.
Ting Hao - Actually...
Before Ting Hao could say anything, he was interrupted by Chang An.
Chang An - Ting Hao! Bai Cao! Come on!
Ting Hao - We will be there in five minutes you guys carry on.
Chang An - Okay.
Then Chang An went back inside the house.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, what were you saying?
Ting Hao - Actually, I wanted to ask that...
Before Ting Hao could finish, he was again interrupted by Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, Senior Ting Hai, what are you guys doing? Come on in.
Bai Cao turned to her back.
Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, we will be there in five minutes. You go in.
Then Xiao Ying went in too.
Bai Cao(while turning towards Ting Hao) - Senior Ting Hao.
Suddenly Bai Cao's expression changes after she saw Ting Hao. She looked confused.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, why are you looking at your watch?
Ting Hao - You will get to know in 1... 2... 3.
Just after Ting Hao said that, someone shouted from behind "Bai Cao! Senior Ting Hao!" Hearing that Bai Cal again turned to her back and saw Fei Yu. After seeing Fei Yu, she again turned her face towards Ting Hao with a surprised look. And seeing her, Ting Hao raised both his eyebrows twice and they both smiled looking at each other. Then again Fei Yu shouted.
Fri Yu - Bai Cao! Senior Ting Hao!
Ting Hao - Fei Yu, before you say anything I want to tell you that we will be there in five minutes you please go in.
Fei Yu - Okay.
Then Fei Yu also went back in.
Bai Cao - Now I think no one will come.
Ting Hao was about to say something but then, suddenly he stopped and holds Bai Cao hand.
Ting Hao - Come with me.
Bai Cao's eyes were wide open. She first looked at Ting Hao's hand holding her hand, then she kept looking at Ting Hao and just kept on smiling.
Then suddenly she removed that smile from her face when she saw Ting Hao turning towards her.
But actually, Ting Hao was not looking at her. He was actually checking whether anyone is following them or not.
Then suddenly, Ting Hao stopped. Bai Cao looked here and there.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, what is this place?
Ting Hao - How would I know?
Bai Cao - Then why did we come here?
Ting Hao - We came here to talk.
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, can't you see that this place is really awful.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, it's just a construction site.
Bai Cao(thinking) - Construction sites are always really horrible. This is what is shown in the movies.
While Bai Cao was thinking about it, Ting Hao was continually looking at her. Then suddenly, he giggled. Bai Cao turned back hearing him giggle.
Bai Cao - Why are you giggling?
Ting Hao went near Bai Cao and kept his hand on Bai Cao's shoulder.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, I know that construction sites are always horrible, but this is only in movies. In reality, construction sites are not really horrible. So, don't be scared, I am there.
Bai Cao's mouth and her eyes were wide open, but she was not looking at Ting Hao, she was looking at Ting Hao's back.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, what happened?
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, there is something.
Ting Hao - Are you kidding me?
Bai Cao shakes her head left and right but her expression did not change. And that brought some fear in Ting Hao's heart. He slowly turns to his back and sees something white hanging up. As he saw that, he immediately starts shouting. And on the other side, Bai Cao was laughing looking at Ting Hao's condition. Ting Hai turned towards Bai Cao with a surprised look and he stops shouting.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, why are you laughing?
Bai Cao - You are asking me! If you will rewind and see your own condition, you will also burst into laughter.
Ting Hao - Are you not sacred?
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, look at it, it's just a white cloth.
Ting Hao turned back again and realises that it was really a white cloth. He was really embarrassed.
Ting Hao(without looking at Bai Cao) - I didn't know that it was a white cloth. I didn't see it carefully.
Bai Cao(teasing) - Oh! I thought someone asked me to not be scared because he is there with me.
Ting Hao lowers down his head and starts smiling, on the other hand, Bai Cao was smiling while looking at Ting Hao. Then suddenly, Ting Hao turns towards Bai Cao and starts taking steps towards her and Bai Cao was stepping back.
Ting Hao - I didn't know that you knew how to tease people too.
Bai Cao - That means, you don't know me well.
Ting Hao - Maybe.
Then suddenly, Bai Cao stopped. And Ting Hao stopped too.
Bai Cao - By the way, what did you wanted to ask?
Ting Hao - Oh yeah! Actually, I wanted to ask what really happened five days ago?
Bai Cao's eyes again went wide.
Bai Cao - What happened? Nothing happened. Why are you asking?
Ting Hao - Actually, I think we had a heart to heart conversation with each other. I don't really remember but my memories of that night are blurry. I guess you were crying.
Bai Cao - What! Me? No, Senior Ting Hao. I was not crying. You can ask anyone. You were the one who was crying.
Ting Hao - I was crying!
Bai Cao - Yeah, actually...
Before Bai Cao could complete saying, her phone started ringing. At the same time, Ting Hao's phone started ringing too.
Both of them took out the phone from their pockets. And looked at the phone.
Ting Hao & Bai Cao(at the same time) - Who is calling you?
Both of them showed their phone to each other.
On Bai Cao's phone, it was written, Ting Yi. And in Ting Hao's phone, it was written, Yin Xiu.
Bai Cao - Why is she calling you at this time?
Ting Hao - God know. Let's just pick the phones.
Bai Cao - Okay.
Then Ting Hao and Bai Cao went in the opposite directions.
Bai Cao - Hello, Ting Yi!
Ting Yi - Where are you, Bai Cao?
Bai Cao - I am actually with Senior Ting Hao. He wanted to ask me something.
Ting Yi - Okay. Come fast guys, we have done seeing the house and we all like it very much. We need your and brother's opinion too.
Bai Cao - Okay, we will be there.
Ting Yi - Okay
Then Bai Cao disconnects the call and turns back at Ting Hao. She was looking at him continuously and she noticed that he was really furious.
Bai Cao - Why does he look so furious? Should I go and hear what he is talking about? What am I even thinking? If I will do that, then what will he think of me? No, no, no. I won't go. If he has to tell me anything then he will tell me himself. I know him that much.
On the other side
Ting Hao - Yin Xiu, listen to me very carefully and obey me. If you will continue doing this, then I won't live peacefully. Stop following me. And what do you think that I will get scared if I will get to know that you know that we have shifted to a new house? In your dreams, Yin Xiu! I really, don't care. And yes, you are absolutely right. Do whatever you want. You want to tell Chen Zhou about it! Tell him. I don't give a dam.
Then Ting Hao disconnects the call. And turns towards Bai Cao. As Bai Cao notices that Ting Hao is turning towards her, she starts looking at her phone. Ting Hao went near her.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, what was Ting Yi saying?
Bai Cao - She is asking us to come back to see the house.
Ting Hao - Okay, let's go.
Then Bai Cao and Ting Hao start walking towards the house.
After few minutes, they reached and starts looking inside the house. At that time, everyone else was roaming in the garden except Ting Yi and Chang An. Both of them were sitting in the drawing-room with the contractor.
After five minutes, they all came back to the drawing-room. Ting Hao noticed that the contractor was not there.
Ting Hao - Where did the contractor go?
Ting Yi - He went.
Ting Hao - Why did he go? Aren't we going to buy this house?
Ting Yi - He got paid for this house and he left.
Everyone - Got paid!
Ting Hao - Who gave him the money?
Ting Yi - Who else?
Ting Hao - Chang An!
Ting Yi - Yeah.
Ting Hao - Where is he?
Ting Yi - He went to drop the contractor out.
Then suddenly, Chang An entered. As he entered, he noticed that everyone was staring at him. Everyone had a surprised look on their faces except Ting Hao and Yi Feng.
Chang An - Guys, you don't really have to take this to your ego.
Ting Hao - Shut up! Why did you pay for it alone?
Yi Feng - Yeah. You can't pay for everything yourself.
Chang An - Who said I will pay for everything myself? I just paid for this house now you both have to pay for everything else, like groceries and other important stuff.
Then Chang An sat on the sofa with his hands on the back of his head.
Chang An - You see, long term plan.
And saying that he raised his eyebrows once. And everyone else started laughing.
Ting Hao(while pointing his phone towards Chang An) - You are really something.
Chang An - I know that.
Ting Hao - You haven't changed a bit.
Chang An - I know that too, Ting Hao.
Ting Yi - I have a request.
Ting Hao - What is it?
Ting Yi - Can we shift here tomorrow? I really don't want to go to Feng Yun Hall tomorrow. And if we will shift here tomorrow, we will have an excuse for not going there. Can we do this, brother?
Ting Hao - I don't know much about Feng Yun hall but Chang An does. Ask him.
Chang An - I guess we can do that. After all, we are the guests.
Ting Hao - You are right. Let's go back to our home I mean, Yi Feng's hotel.
Yi Feng - That's our home too. Don't make me feel guilty.
Ting Hao - Okay, okay. Let's go.
Then they all sat in the car and went towards the hotel.
After half an hour, they reached. They all went to their rooms and got freshen up.
After another half an hour of resting. They all again came out at the same time.
As they saw each other coming out of the room at the same time. They were surprised.
Everyone(at the same time) - I really could not take staying in the room for such a long time that's why I came out.
They looked at each other with a surprised look.
Everyone(again at the same time) - I guess we are spending a lot of time together.
They looked at each other and smiled.
Everyone(at the same time) - Who cares? I want to spend time with you all. Let's go.
Then they all went towards the dining hall.
Xiao Ba was standing there. Everyone else went in and started eating.
While eating -
Xiao Ying - When are we going to start shifting there?
Yi Feng - I guess we should start at noon. I really want to sleep. And now that we are not going to Feng Yun Hall tomorrow, I can sleep till noon.
Ting Yi - Yi Feng, if you have forgotten, then let me remind you that we have Chang An here. We don't wake up because of Feng Yun Hall. We wake up because we have Chang An.
Chang An - Are you appreciating me or are you mocking me?
Ting Yi - You think about it yourself.
Everyone giggled.
After ten more minutes. Then all came out and went towards the garden except for Yi Feng. Yi Feng went near Xiao Ba.
Yi Feng - Xiao Ba, don't you need rest?
Xiao Ba - No, I have more stamina than you.
Yi Feng - Is this how you talk to your boss?
Xiao Ba - I am just following the company's policy. When I was hired here, I was asked to be truthful. So, I am just being truthful.
Yi Feng - Finally, my cool Xiao Ba is back.
Then Yi Feng circles Xiao Ba's neck with his hand.
Yi Feng - I again want to marry you.
Xiao Ba - Yi Feng! You have a girlfriend.
Yi Feng - Who cares? It's my childhood dream to marry you. Please marry me, Xiao Ba.
Yi Feng said that with his eyes closed. Then suddenly, he heard someone coughing. He opened his eyes and saw Xiao Ying standing there.
Yi Feng and Xiao Ba looked at each other then they looked at Xiao Ying, then suddenly Xiao Ba leaves Yi Feng and Yi Feng falls down. Xiao Ying bends down towards Yi Feng.
Xiao Ying(with a deadly look) - Who cares, huh?
Saying that, Xiao Ying went back to the garden. Yi Feng quickly got up and both Yi Feng and Xiao Ba runs behind her. There be saw that Xiao Ying and Fei Yu were standing together alone. Both of them were talking and at that time, Xiao Ying puts her hand on Fei Yu's shoulder and so did Fei Yu. Yi Feng looked at them with his wide eyes.
Yi Feng - Xiao Ba, Fei Yu.
Xiao Bao - Okay.
Then Xiao Ba went near Fei Yu.
Xiao Ba - Fei Yu, can you come with me? I need a favour from you.
Fei Yu - Sure.
Then both Fei Yu and Xiao Ba went from there at that time, Xiao Ying was standing alone. Yi Feng went near her and hugged her from the back.
Xiao Ying - What are you doing, Senior Yi Feng?
Yi Feng - I am sorry.
Xiao Ying - For what? For saying that you want to marry Xiao Ba.
Yi Feng - No. Because I said who cares. I was just kidding, Xiao Ying. I do care about you. I do care about you being my girlfriend. Please don't be mad at me.
Then Xiao Ying removes Yi Feng's hand from her.
Xiao Ying - I know that, Senior Yi Feng. And I am not mad at you. It's just that I am not worthy to be with you.
Yi Feng - What! If you are not worthy to be with me then who is? And who the hell said this to you? Wait, did my dad said this to you when you met him?
Xiao Ying - It's nothing like that, Senior Yi Feng. No one said to me anything.
Yi Feng - Then?
Xiao Ying - Just look at yourself.
Then Yi Feng at himself.
Xiao Ying - Now look at your hotel.
Then Yi Feng turns his face towards his hotel.
Xiao Ying - Now look at me. Top to bottom.
Yi Feng looks at Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying - Now look at my house.
Then Xiao Ying shows a picture of her house.
Xiao Ying - Now you understood.
Yi Feng - Not at all. What do you want to say?
Xiao Ying - I just want to show you the difference between you and me. You have a grand hotel. A grand house. You wear fashionable clothes even at night. And look at me. The clothes I am wearing right now has no brand. My house is nothing in front of your hotel. I am not worthy of you.
Yi Feng laughs. But there were tears in his eyes. And seeing his tears, Xiao Ying's eyes also filled with tears.
Yi Feng - Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying, do you think that my love is materialistic?
Xiao Ying - No. I know that you love me a lot. But after few years or maybe a few months, when people will ask you about your relationship, at that time you will be ashamed to introduce me. I have nothing and on the other side, you have everything.
Yi Feng - You are right. I have everything and you know when did I realize it? When I found you. If you are both there then all this what I have is nothing. It's all dust. But when I found you. When you came into my life, I found everything in you. You are my everything, Xiao Ying. When we will take pictures, you and I will be there in the centre. All this my house, my hotel, your house will be in the background and I don't care about the background. I just care about my centre. And I want you to be there in the centre whenever I will take a picture. Understood?
Xiao Ying nodded.
Yi Feng - Now give me a hug.
Then Xiao Ying hugs Yi Feng tightly.
On the other side, Ting Yi and Chang An we're sitting together on the grass.
Ting Yi - Chang An.
Chang An - Yeah.
Ting Yi - Thank you.
Chang An - For what?
Ting Yi - For whatever you said five days ago.
Five days ago.
Ting Yi was running while crying. Chang An was following her.
Then Ting Yi hid behind the bushes. And started crying.
At that time, Chang An reached there. He saw Ting Yi crying, he sat beside her.
Chang An - Ting Yi!
As Ting Yi saw Chang An beside her, she got up but before she could Chang An hold her hand and pulled her down towards him.
Ting Yi landed in Chang An's arms. Ting Yi tried to go far from Chang An but Chang An hugged her tightly.
