Xiao Ying - I remember everything that happened that night in Leavenworth.

Bai Cao - What!

Xiao Ying - Yeah.

Bai Cao turns her face to the other side avoiding eye contact with Xiao Ying.

Bai Cao - What happened that night? Nothing happened that night.

Xiao Ying - Oh really?

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Xiao Ying - Then what is this?

Bai Cao - What?

Saying that, Bai Cao turns towards Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying showed Bai Cao her phone. There was a video being played.

The video

This is a video of that night when everyone was at Christy's house in Leavenworth.

Xiao Ying was drunk and Bai Cao was taking her to their room.

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao is in love.

Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, shut up.

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, you love Senior Ting Hao. I can't believe this.

Bai Cao - Shut up, Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying - I am really happy for you, Bai Cao. Let's go and tell everyone about your feelings.

Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, we will tell everyone about my feeling but not now, tomorrow, okay?

Xiao Ying - Okay.

Bai Cao - Okay, then let's go.

Video ended.

Bai Cao - How did you get this? Who gave you this?

Xiao Ying - Christy gave me this CCTV footage.

Bai Cao - What! She had a camera in her house!

Xiao Ying - Yeah, she did.

Bai Cao - Why did she give you the footage?

Flashback

In Xiao Ying's room.

Suddenly, Xiao Ying's phone started ringing. Xiao Ying picks up the call.

Xiao Ying - Hello!

Person - Xiao Ying, it's Christy.

Xiao Ying - Christy, why did you call me at this hour? It's almost two a.m.

Christy - I know. But I have sent you a video see it right now.

Xiao Ying - Okay.

Then Xiao Ying started to watch the video. Her eyes went wide.

Xiao Ying - How did you get this?

Christy - I was just watching the CCTV footage because something was missing. I thought it got stolen. I did not know when did get stolen, so I started watching the footage and I got this. I was actually going to call Chang An but he did not pick up my calls.

Xiao Ying - It's good that you did not call him. Please do me favor.

Christy - Okay.

Xiao Ying - Please don't tell anyone about it.

Christy - But why? I know that you all want to bring Bai Cao and Ting Hao together. This is what Chang An told me.

Xiao Ying - I know, but I have to know the reason why Bai Cao hid this truth from us. Maybe she has a valid reason.

Christy - Yeah, you are right. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

Xiao Ying - Thank you.

Christy - You are welcome.

Xiao Ying disconnects the call.

Xiao Ying - Why did Bai Cao hide all this? What really happened that night?

Xiao Ying closes her eyes and tries to remember what happened that night.

Xiao Ying gets some flashes and after ten minutes, she remembered everything.

Xiao Ying - So, this is the reason why Bai Cao never told anyone that she loves Senior Ting Hao. I need to talk to her.

Then Xiao Ying went towards Bai Cao's room.

Flashback ended.

Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, please don't tell Senior Ting Hao about this.

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, do you even know how stupid your reason is to not tell Senior Ting Hao that you love him?

Bai Cao - I don't think that this is stupid.

Xiao Ying - It is, Bai Cao... it is.

Bai Cao - It is not. I just don't want to lose Senior Ting Hao like I lost my mom.

Xiao Ying - Can you please stop blaming yourself for everything that has gone wrong in the lives of those around you? Can you?

Bai Cao said nothing.

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, you know how much Senior Ting Hao loves you. He is yearning for you, idiot.

Bai Cao - I know that, Xiao Ying. But right now, he is just yearning because I am not with him. But if I will be with him, he will lose his life. And I can not afford to lose him.

Xiao Ying - All this is rubbish.

Bai Cao - It is not.

Bai Cao starts crying.

Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, please... please don't tell anyone about it. I beg of you. I love Senior Ting Hao a lot. I can't afford to lose him.

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, you think that he will die if you will be with him but don't you know that he is dying without you?

Bai Cao - I know, but this problem will be solved very soon.

Xiao Ying - What do you mean?

Bai Cao - See, when Ai Shu will come back, I am sure he will forget me.

Xiao Ying - Why would he?

Bai Cao - Because no one can forget his first love. And Ai Shu is Senior Ting Hao's first love I am sure about that.

Xiao Ying - What!

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Xiao Ying - Okay. But what if he does not forget you? What will you do then?

Bai Cao - If he does not forget me then I don't know what I will do, but I am sure that he will forget me.

Xiao Ying - Okay. Then let's wait for Ai Shu to come.

Bai Cao - Let's wait.

Then Xiao Ying went back to her room.

Bai Cao sat down on her bed and starts crying.

Bai Cao - Will he really forget me after Ai Shu will come back? I don't want him to forget me, but he has to forget me.

Bai Cao kept on crying.

The time flee away very soon and now it was six in the morning.

Everyone was coming down from their room.

As they reached downstairs, they saw that the food was already prepared.

Bai Cao was in the kitchen.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, why did you prepare all this alone?

Bai Cao - I actually woke up early and I had nothing to do, so I decided to cook breakfast.

Ting Hao - Okay.

Ting Hao(in his mind) - Did she cry? Looking at her eyes, it does feel that she cried but why? Did she again saw that nightmare? I need to find out the truth as soon as possible.

Then suddenly, Yi Feng got a call.

Yi Feng - Lin Li! Why is she calling me?

Yi Feng picks up the call.

Yi Feng - Lin Li, why are you calling me now? It must be midnight there.

Lin Li - Yeah, it is. But do you remember that tomorrow is uncle Liu and aunty Liu's death anniversary?

Yi Feng - Of course, I do remember. I can never forget that date.

Lin Li - Neither can I. By the way, I am coming there tomorrow.

Yi Feng - Okay. What about Gu Wei Yi? How is he?

Lin Li - He is fine. He will not come. He has to perform surgery tomorrow.

Yi Feng - Okay. When will you reach?

Lin Li - Tomorrow early morning. 

Yi Feng - Okay. See you tomorrow. Bye.

Lin Li - Bye.

Then Yi Feng disconnects the call.

Xiao Ying - Is Lin Li coming to the US!

Yi Feng - Yeah. Actually, tomorrow is my uncle and aunts death anniversary. So, she is coming for that.

Xiao Ying - Ooo!

Bai Cao - Let's eat. We have to go to Feng Yun Hall too.

After thirty minutes.

They all were ready to go. They sat on their cycles and went towards Feng Yun Hall.

After fifteen minutes, they all reached Feng Yun Hall.

Yin Xiu - Did you guys find out anything?

Ting Yi - Even if we did, why should we tell you.

Yin Xiu - Right. But don't worry, I will win your trust.

Chang An giggled.

Chang An - Sometimes, people in front of us fool us because we trust them.

Saying that, Chang An went inside. Everyone was confused by Chang An's statement but Yin Xiu... Yin Xiu smiled after hearing that.

Then they all went inside, went to change their clothes and started practising.

Soon it was evening.

Throughout the day, Chang An was acting cold not only with Ting Hao but with everyone, especially Yin Xiu.

Ting Hao - We will meet at the same time tomorrow.

Feng Yun Hall students(bowing their heads) - Good Night, Drillmaster.

Ting Hao - Good night.

Then everyone went to their rooms.

Chang An, Ting Yi, Ting Hao, Bai Cao, Yi Feng, Xiao Ying and Fei Yu went to change their dress.

After ten minutes, they all came out of the changing room but suddenly, Ting Hao's phone rang.

Yi Feng - Who is it?

Ting Hao - Chen Zhou's right hand. You guys go, I will be there in a minute.

Yi Feng - Okay.

Then Chang An, Yi Feng and Fei Yu went from there and Ting Hao picks up the call.

Chen Zhou's right hand - Ting Hao, you are amazing.

Ting Hao - What!

Chen Zhou's right hand - What what? You have made an amazing plan to fool those people.

Ting Hao - What are you talking about?

Chen Zhou's right hand - Don't try to act in front of me, Ting Hao. Yin Xiu has told me everything. And don't worry, she will win their trust and you will be able to destroy Bai Cao very soon. I know that you told Yin Xiu to tell me nothing, but she told me.

Ting Hao(thinking) - What is he talking about? I am planning against Bai Cao! Whatever it is, I can't let him think that all that is false.

Ting Hao - Well, I will call you later. Bye.

Chen Zhou's right hand - Bye.

Then Ting Hao disconnects the call.

Ting Hao - I knew it. Yin Xiu is betraying us. But why did she say all these things to Chen Zhou's right hand? She is planning against Bai Cao and is saying that I am the one who is planning. That means, she is not only planning against Bai Cao but she is also planning against me. She wants Bai Cao to think that I am the one who planed against her. I need to confront this Yin Xiu.

Then Ting Hao came out and went towards the practice hall.

There he saw that everyone was waiting for him.

Ting Hao - Guys, I have a meeting with the elders right now. Why don't you all go? I will come home soon.

Bai Cao - We will wait here.

Ting Hao - No, Bai Cao. You all go.

Chang An - Let's go guys.

Bai Cao - Okay.

Then everyone went towards their home and Ting Hao went towards Yin Xiu's room.

He knocks on the door and Yin Xiu opens it.

Yin Xiu - Drillmaster, what are you doing here.

As Ting Hao sees Yin Xiu, he grabs her by her neck and pushes her against the wall.

Ting Hao - What are you planning?

Yin Xiu - What do you mean?

Ting Hao - Don't try to fool me, Yin Xiu. Chen Zhou's right hand has told me everything.

Yin Xiu - That stupid person! Drillmaster, please leave me.

Ting Hao - I won't. Tell me are you planning against Bai Cao.

Yin Xiu - I am choking.

Then Ting Hao leaves Yin Xiu.

Yin Xiu - Yes, drillmaster, I am planning against Bai Cao.

Ting Hao - Why? Don't you want to know about your mom's death?

Yin Xiu - My mom never died. She ran away.

Ting Hao - What!

Yin Xiu - Yeah and she is still alive.

Ting Hao - You lied to us.

Yin Xiu - Yeah... I did. And you know what, Chang An thinks that you are betraying them.

Hearing that, Ting Hao again grabs Yin Xiu by her neck.

Ting Hao - What did you say?

Yin Xiu - I said that Chang An thinks that you are betraying them.

Ting Hao - Why and how?

Then Yin Xiu tells everything that happened yesterday night in the café.

Ting Hao - I will you.

Yin Xiu - Kill me.

Ting Hao grabs Yin Xiu's neck more tightly and Yin Xiu starts choking. Seeing that, Ting Hao leaves her.

Yin Xiu giggles while coughing.

Yin Xiu - I knew that you can't kill me because you are a good person. And this goodness of yours makes you weak.

Ting Hao - Why are you doing this?

Yin Xiu - Because I want you to be with us.

Ting Hao - I will never be with you guys.

Saying that, Ting Hao starts walking towards the gate.

Yin Xiu - You will see, Drillmaster when everyone will get to know what Chang An heard, they all will leave you without even listening to you once. And at that time, we will be the ones who will stick to your side.

Ting Hao stops after hearing that and turns around.

Ting Hao - Even if you all stick to my side, I will always stick to Bai Cao's side because I love her.

Yin Xiu - Why do you love her?

Ting Hao - I don't need a reason to love her but because you want to know the reason I will tell you. I love her because she is honest and there are many more reasons why I love her and that can't be counted.

Saying that, Ting Hao leaves.

Yin Xiu was really furious and in anger, she threw a vase.

Ting Hao sat in his cycle and went towards his house.

Ting Hao(thinking) - Was the line that Chang An said in the morning meant for me?

On the other side.

Everyone reached home. Girls were cooking. Yi Feng and Fei Yu were sleeping and Chang An was in the garden.

After fifteen minutes, Ting Hao reached. He rang the bell and Bai Cao opens the door.

Ting Hao - Where is Chang An?

Bai Cao - He is in the garden.

Ting Hao - Okay.

Ting Hao straight went to the garden. He holds Chang An's hand and pulls him to a corner.

Chang An - Ting Hao, what are you doing?

Ting Hao - Did you hear Yin Xiu and that person's conversation yesterday?

Chang An - Yeah, I did.

Ting Hao - Okay.

Chang An - Don't you want to justify yourself?

Ting Hao - Why should I justify myself and for what? I did nothing wrong.

Chang An - That is true.

Chang An says nothing else and was going from there. Ting Hao was confused.

Ting Hao - Chang An!

Chang An - Now what?

Ting Hao - Are you not going to tell everyone about what you heard yesterday night?

Chang An - Why should I?

Ting Hao - What do you mean?

Chang An - Why should I tell them something which I don't even believe?

Ting Hao was speechless. Chang An smiled.

Chang An - Ting Hao, I know what you are. I trust you.

Ting Hao - Thanks, Chang An.

Chang An - To be honest, if I only believed in you, then I think that trust might have got a little weak in front of what I heard that night. But thanks to my other beliefs.

Ting Hao - And what is it?

Chang An - More than I believe in you, I believe in your love for Bai Cao. I know that you can never hate her. I know that you can never hurt her. This is the reason why I gave up on her.

Chang An smiled and was about to go from there, but at that time, Ting Hao stops him by holding his hand and hugs him.

Ting Hao had tears in his eyes.

Ting Hao - Thank you, Chang An.

Chang An - Ting Hao, leave me.

Ting Hao did not leave him.

Chang An - There is another reason why I don't believe that you are betraying us.

Ting Hao leaves him.

Ting Hao - What is it?

Chang An - Yin Xiu made mistake.

Ting Hao - What?

Chang An - You knew that who called me that night when Yin Xiu came to our house and said all that rubbish, right?

Ting Hao - Yeah. It was Elder Chen.

Chang An - Right. Yin Xiu said to that person that you still don't know who called me that night.

Ting Hao - Ooo! She really did make a mistake.

Chang An - Yeah and you are still a cry baby.

Ting Hao - And you are still acting like my father.

Chang An - You!

And Ting Hao ran from there.

The next day.

It was five o'clock.

Bai Cao again woke up early and was going to the kitchen.

The whole drawing-room was dark. She was going to the kitchen without making any noise. She was going to switch on the light, but before she could, the lights got switched on itself and she saw Ting Hao standing in front of her.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao!

Ting Hao - Bai Cao.

The scene changed, both of them were sitting on the sofa facing each other.

Ting Hao - Do you not want to cook with me?

Bai Cao - It's nothing like that.

Ting Hao - Then why do you get up early in the morning to prepare food?

Bai Cao - I just got up early. I did not plan to get up early.

Ting Hao - Really?

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Ting Hao - Okay. Then let's go and cook.

Then both of them went to the kitchen and started cooking.

After one hour, everyone started coming down one by one.

Chang An - Ting Hao, how did you change so much?

Ting Hao - Chang An, shut up.

Chang An - Why?

Ting Hao - Do you want me to tell them something about our childhood.

Chang An - It will be better if we both shut our mouths.

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Ting Yi - You guys are really weird. Only you guys know what you are talking about.

Ting Hao & Chang An(together) - We know that.

Chang An - Let's go, Ting Hao

Ting Hao - Let's go.

Ting Yi went near Bai Cao.

Ting Yi - They really share a strong bond.

Bai Cao - Is it not a good thing?

Ting Yi - It is.

Yi Feng - Guys, I will be not going to Feng Yun hall today. I will be going to pick Lin Li.

Ting Hao - Okay.

Yi Feng - Oh know, she will reach soon. I need to go.

Xiao Ying - Eat something first.

Yi Feng - No, I need to leave.

Ting Hao - Okay, then let us all go to pick her up. Then we will have our breakfast with her too.

Bai Cao - Yeah we can do that.

Yi Feng - Okay, then let's go.

They all came out and as they came out, they saw a car parked in front of their house and Xiao Ba was inside.

Yi Feng - Thanks.

Xiao Ba - You are most welcome. Now come inside.

Then they all sat in the car.

After thirty minutes, they reached the airport.

They all were waiting for Lin Li to come and she did.

Yi Feng(waving his hand) - Lin Li!

Lin Li(waving her hand) - Brother!

Lin Li went near Yi Feng and hugged him.

Yi Feng - How are you?

Lin Li - I am fine. How are you all?

Xiao Ying - I am being tortured by your brother.

Yi Feng - Maybe you said the opposite.

Xiao Ying - Am I torturing you?

Yi Feng - Am I torturing you?

Lin Li - Okay guys shut up.

Bai Cao - Master!

Ting Hao - What!

Bai Cao - That is my master, right?

Ting Hao - Perhaps he is.

Bai Cao(shouting) - Master!
