Bai Cao went to the kitchen but before going she kept her phone on the table and Ting Hao was sitting at the table,

Then suddenly, Bai Cao's phone vibrated. Ting Hao ignored this time. But then again, it vibrated and this time, Ting Hao picked up the phone.

Because the phone was known, there was no password yet. So, Ting Hao just swiped the screen and the phone got unlocked.

As it got unlocked, Ting Hao was shocked.

Ting Hao(thinking) - What the hell! Why are there so many messages from him and why is his number saved with his name and with a heart emoji?

On the phone - There were a few messages from Bingwei and his number was saved with a heart emoji.

Ting Hao(thinking) - Should I read these messages or shouldn't I?

Ting Hao was in deep thinking. Then suddenly, a thought strikes his mind which breaks his flow of deep thinking.

Ting Hao(thinking) - I can't lose Bai Cao. I can't afford it.

Then Ting Hao looked at Bai Cao and Bai Cao looked at him too. She smiled at him and so did Ting Hao. She did not notice that her phone was in Ting Hao's hand and started working again.

Ting Hao looks at Bai Cao's phone and started reading those messages.

Messages -

Bingwei - Bai Cao, are you ok?

Bai Cao - Yeah, I am ok.

Bingwei - I know the reason why you are sad but you also know that Ting Hao will not let us talk.

Bai Cao - Yeah but I have an idea.

Bingwei - What is it?

Bai Cao - Let's meet each other in the garden when everyone will be sleeping. At that time, Senior Ting Hao will also not come in between our conversations.

Bingwei - You are actually right. This is a nice idea.

Bai Cao - But there is a problem.

Bingwei - What problem?

Bai Cao - What if someone will be in the garden at the night? Then again we will not be able to talk and you have to go tomorrow.

Bingwei - You are right. Ok, if someone will be there in the garden, then we will meet each other in the room.

Bai Cao - Yeah, we can do that. But in whose room will we meet?

Bingwei - That's your call.

Bai Cao - We will decide it at that time. Who knows that someone will be there in front of our rooms too.

Bingwei - Yeah. So, it's decided that we will meet each other in the night when everyone will be sleeping.

Bai Cao - Yeah. So, now I will come inside.

Bingwei - Yeah.

Message ended.

Ting Hao(thinking) - Why the hell do they want to meet each other and what is so person that they can't talk in front of us?

Bai Cao - Everyone, please come to the table. The hot water and ramen are ready.

As Ting Hao heard that, Ting Hao keeps Bai Cao's phone back on the table and starts looking at his phone. Then Bai Cao came near him.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao?

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Bai Cao - Can you please move a little? I have to keep these on the table.

Ting Hao - Yeah sure.

Bai Cao was keeping the ramen box and hot water on the table and Ting Hao was looking at her all the time.

Ting Hao(thinking) - Why do you want to meet him at the night? What is so personal? Bai Cao!

Suddenly, Bai Cao stopped and turned her face towards Ting Hao.

Bai Cao - Yeah, Senior Ting Hao.

Ting Hao looked clueless.

Bai Cao - You called me, right?

Ting Hao - No, I didn't.

Bai Cao - Really! I felt like you took my name just now.

Ting Hao kept looking at Bai Cao. He was lost in her eyes.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, what are you thinking?

Ting Hao - Nothing. I am just thinking about how you got to hear your name when I didn't call you.

Bai Cao - Maybe I heard it wrong. After all, the TV is on.

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Bai Cao - Guys, are you all coming or should I put all this back on the shelf?

Ting Yi - Bai Cao, I am tired. Please bring my ramen here.

Bai Cao - Ok.

Ting Hao - No. Come and take it yourself. Bai Cao has been working and we all were just sitting. We should be the ones who should prepare ramen for Bai Cao. Bai Cao is also a human, she needs rest too.

Bai Cao - No, Ting Yi, you stay there.

Ting Yi - Really!

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Ting Yi - Okay.

Then Ting Yi continued watching TV.

Bai Cao - It's okay, Senior Ting Hao.

Ting Hao - It's not. Ting Yi should learn to do her work on her own.

Bai Cao - Okay, let's do one thing, let us also go there and eat with them. After all, everyone is sitting there and watching TV. Let us also go there.

Ting Hao - Okay.

Bai Cao - And I will prepare the ramen here only. What if the hot water falls on someone's leg?

Ting Hao - Bai Cao!

Bai Cao - Please.

Ting Hao - No. You won't be doing this. I will do it.

Then Ting Hao starts preparing ramen for everyone and Bai Cao kept looking at him.

After two minutes, the ramen was prepared and Bai Cao and Ting Hao took them near everyone.

Ting Yi - Thank you, Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - You don't need to thank me. Actually, we all should thank Senior Ting Hao. He is the one who prepared it for us.

Ting Hao - No need. I did this because I wanted to do it. I didn't do this for anyone.

Xiao Ying - So, you did this because you didn't want Bai Cao to do this, right?

Ting Hao - No. I did this because I wanted to.

Then Ting Hao smiled at Xiao Ying and said.

Ting Hao - Xiao Ying, I am not an ordinary person who will fall into the trap of your words. I am smarter than you think.

Ting Hao said that while pointing at Chang An.

Chang An - Ting Hao, I am not an ordinary person too.

Ting Hao - When did I say that you are an ordinary person? You tell me, Bai Cao, did I say that he is an ordinary person?

Bai Cao - Nope.

Chang An - So, who were you talking about?

Ting Hao - I was talking about Yi Feng.

Yi Feng - Me!

Ting Hao - Yeah. I mean, Yi Feng is the one who falls into Xiao Ying's word trap that is why he is in a relationship with her.

Yi Feng - Yeah, maybe you are right. I must be mad.

Xiao Ying - What!

Yi Feng - I mean, I must be mad in love with you.

Xiao Ying - Yeah, as if I am an idiot.

Yi Feng - Xiao Ying!

Yi Feng said that while leaning towards Xiao Ying bis suddenly, she got up.

Xiao Ying - Senior Ting Hao, why don't you sit here. Bai Cao, come with me.

Then Xiao Ying went to the other side and sat there.

There was only a place for one person. On one side, Xiao Ying was sitting and on the other, Bingwei was sitting. Whoever will go there will have to sit in between Xiao Ying and Bingwei.

As Yi Feng saw that, he also got up.

Yi Feng - Bai Cao, why don't you sit here.

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, are you coming here or not?

Ting Hao(whispering) - Yi Feng, go there as fast as you can or else I will kill you.

Yi Feng - Okay.

Then Yi Feng ran towards Xiao Ying and sat beside her.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, sit.

Then Bai Cao sat next to Ting Hao.

Then everyone started eating while watching TV.

Xiao Ying(in low voice) - Why did you come here?

Yi Feng(in low voice) - Look there at Senior Ting Hao and Bai Cao. What do you see?

Xiao Ying - I can see that they are sitting.

Yi Feng - No, Xiao Ying. They are not just sitting. They both are sitting together and that is what we want.

Xiao Ying - Can you not say it in simple words? And how is it related to the question I asked?

Yi Feng - I mean to say that, we both want them to be together, don't we?

Xiao Ying - Obviously we do.

Yi Feng - So, we need to make them spend more time with each other. This is the reason why I came here and there is another reason too.

Xiao Ying - And what is it?

Yi Feng - I love you.

Hearing that, Xiao Ying laughed too and started eating.

Yi Feng - Don't you have something to say?

Xiao Ying - What do you want me to say?

Yi Feng - I want you to say those three words.

Xiao Ying - Okay. I will say it.

Hearing that, Yi Feng's eyes started shining.

Xiao Ying - Shut your mouth. I said those three words. Happy?

Yi Feng - I did not wanted to hear that.

Xiao Ying - But I wanted to say this.

Yi Feng - Whatever. Say it or not, I know that you love me and me only.

Xiao Ying smiled.

After a couple of minutes.

Everyone was eating.

Ting Hao was the only one who was lost in his thoughts.

Ting Hao(thinking) - What should I do? I am not able to divert my mind. Doesn't matter how much I try, I am just not able to. What should I do? Whatever it is, I know that I trust Bai Cao the most. I know that there will be something important that she wants to talk about with him or else why would she allow him to come to her room.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, what happened? Why are not you eating?

Ting Hao - Nothing happened, Bai Cao. I am just thinking about what will happen.

Bai Cao was confused and Ting Hao noticed it.

Ting Hao -  I am mean, I am just thinking what will happen tomorrow in Feng Yun Hall.

Bai Cao - Don't worry, Senior Ting Hao. I am sure everything will be alright and now that we know her plan, I am sure that we will defeat her.

Ting Hao - I know that but we don't have to defeat Yin Xiu, we need to defeat Feng Yun Hall and for that, we need Chen Zhou to be here. And I don't know where he is.

Chang An - It's not only you, Ting Hao. No one knows where he is. Not even his own father.

Ting Yi - Do be honest, I will really sad for Elder Chen. He is such a good man but he got such child.

Xiao Ying - Sometime, I don't even believe that Shu Chen Zhou is Elder Chen's son.

Then Yi Feng reduces the volume of the TV.

Yi Feng - Neither can I.

Ting Hao - We need to bring Chen Zhou here to defeat Feng Yun Hall.

Chang An - It's too hard. The last time Chen Zhou came here was the time when I was going to run away from Feng Yun Hall.

Ting Yi - But why did he come? He didn't knew that you were going to run away, then why?

Chang An - I don't know.

Ting Yi - Does Yin Xiu know?

Chang An - No and even if she does, she won't let us know because whatever she is and however she is, I know that she is the most loyal person Chen Zhou could ever have. This is the reason why I was not able to believe that she wants to be a part of us.

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Bai Cao - Okay, let's continue eating.

Then everyone again started eating and watching TV.

After some time, they all finished eating.

Chang An - Let's go and sleep. It's already too late.

Ting Yi - But I am not feeling sleepy.

Yi Feng - I am feeling very sleepy.

Xiao Ying - Same here.

Chang An - Ting Yi, go to your room, I am sure you will feel sleepy.

Ting Yi - Okay.

Then everyone stared walking towards their respective rooms.

Then suddenly, Ting Hao saw Bai Cao and Bingwei talking.

Bingwei - Good night, Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - Good night.

Then Bingwei went to his room and Bai Cao went near Ting Hao.

Bai Cao - Good night, Senior Ting Hao.

Ting Hao - Good night, Bai Cao.

Then Bai Cao and Ting Hao also went to their respective rooms.

Ting Yi was going to her room but then suddenly, someone grabbed her hand.

She turned her face towards that person and saw that it was no one else but Chang An.

Ting Yi - Chang An, what happened?

Chang An - You are not feeling sleepy, right?

Ting Yi - Yeah.

Chang An - Then why are you going to your room?

Ting Yi - Because you said so.

Chang An - let's go.

Ting Yi - Where?

Chang An - Garden.

Ting Yi - Why?

Chang An - Because you are not feeling sleepy.

Then both Chang An and Ting Yi went to the garden.

On the other side.

Ting Hao lying on his bed and was thinking about Bingwei and Bai Cao.

Then he closes his eyes slowly then suddenly, he saw a girl and man lying on the same bed.

As he saw that, he opened his eyes and got up from his bed.

Ting Hao - I trust Bai Cao but I can't trust him after what he did with me eight years ago. Bai Cao is naïve and Bingwei will use it for his benefit. I can't let that happen. I need to keep an eye on him.

Then Ting Hao came out of his room and saw Bai Cao going towards the garden.

He followed them. Then suddenly, Bai Cao and Bingwei stopped in front of the door which leads them to the garden. Ting Hao hides near the stairs.

Bingwei - God! Why is Chang An and Ting Yi sitting here?!

Bai Cao - It's okay if they are sitting here. Let's go to my room to talk.

Then both Bingwei and Bai Cao went towards the stair. Ting Hao hid behind the stairs. After Bai Cao and Bingwei finished climbing the stairs, Ting Hao started climbing slowly.

Then he saw that both of them went to Bai Cao's room and they locked the room's door.

Ting Hao - What should I do? How will I know that what they are doing?

Ting Hao was walking and thinking then suddenly, he stopped.

Ting Hao - There is one way.

Scene changed.

Ting Hao was standing front of a room. He opened the door and went inside.

Ting Hao - Thank God that Master Qu Xiang Nan went to Yi Feng's hotel.

Then Ting Hao went to the balcony.

From the balcony, everything happening in Bai Cao's room was visible because of the big glass door in her room which leads her to the balcony of her room.

There Ting Hao saw that Bingwei and Bai Cao were talking.

Bingwei was sometimes standing and talking and sometimes he was sitting besides Bai Cao and talking while Bai Cao was all the time sitting and hearing to what Bingwei was saying.

After fifteen minutes, Ting Hao was still standing and was watching whatever was happening in the room.

On the other side, Bingwei was sitting with his hand against his forehead.

Bai Cao - So, you did nothing about it?

Then suddenly, Bingwei stood up and started walking.

Bingwei - What could I do that time? He was not even letting me see himself.

Bingwei was walking towards Bai Cao, then suddenly, his leg tripped and he fell on Bai Cao.

Bingwei was really close to Bai Cao at this moment. He tried getting up but then he realized that Bai Cao's hair is stuck on his shirt's button. So, he could not get up.

Bingwei - Bai Cao, your hair is stuck in my shirt's button. I guess it is tied with my button. Try untying it.

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Then Bao Cao starts untying her hair from Bingwei's shirt's button.

And from Ting Hao's side, it felt as if they are kissing.

As Ting Hao saw that, he ran towards Bai Cao's room.

Bai Cao - It's untied now.

Bingwei - Okay.

Then Bingwei got up so did Bai Cao.

On the other side, Ting Hao reached in the front of the room. As he reached there, he kicks the door so hard that the latch of the door broke which created a loud noise.

On the other side in the garden, Chang An and Ting Yi heard the noise.

Ting Yi - What was that noise?

Chang An - Let's go and check.

On the other side.

Ting Hao entered the room, and punched Bingwei on his face and then he started beating him saying...

Ting Hao - I told you to stay away from Bai Cao. How could you even touch her?

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, stop!

As Ting Hao heard Bai Cao, he stopped.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, why are you beating Bingwei and how did you know that he is in my room?

Ting Hao - I read your messages and after reading them, I have been watching what was going on in this room from master Qu Xiang Nan's room.

Bai Cao - What! Why would you do that? You should have trusted me, Senior Ting Hao.

Ting Hao - I trust you, Bai Cao. I trust you the most but I don't trust this Bingwei. You don't know what he did with me. He is a bloody backstabber and bloody betrayer.

Saying that, Ting Hao again started beating Bingwei. Bai Cao tried stopping Ting Hao but this time he didn't stop. Then suddenly, she yelled.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, stop.

Ting Hao - Bai Cao, you don't know the truth. You don't know that he betrayed me when I trusted him the most.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, Bingwei did not betray you.
