Sam has been ordered to follow Myolie. He notifies Bosco of Myolie’s plan. Bosco and his followers follow Myolie and Raymond to Ocean Park.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Whew! I am so tired.” Myolie sits down on a bench and cleans her sweat.
Raymond opens a bottle of water and drinks from it. He says, “This park is pretty fun. Haven’t been to here since five years old. So many new attractions have been added. Myolie, thanks for bringing me to here.”
“No thanks. Hong Kong has transformed a lot since your family left. When my parents get back to Hong Kong tomorrow, they can bring you to more interesting places.” Myolie stands up and stretches, and suddenly someone catches her eyes. That person immediately hides when he knows that Myolie is looking at his direction. But he is too slow. Myolie saw him.
Myolie shouts toward that direction, “Mr. Bosco Lam. What do you think you are doing over there?”
Bosco pinches Sam’s arm and walks out from his hiding spot. He makes a funny face and says, “I am having fun with my friends. What about you, Ms.? Hanging out with this eerie guy?”
Raymond frowns at his new “nickname”. Myolie crosses her arms and says, “For your information, he is not eerie guy. He is Raymond, a very successful doctor.” She then puts her arm around Raymond’s. “And he is my boyfriend.”
Bosco’s jaw drops.
Raymond goes with Myolie’s acting and says, “Yes. I am her boyfriend. Why are you following us? Do you want to test my punches?” He waves his fist.
“You...you.....watch your step.” Bosco backs off and walks away with his followers.
Myolie sighs at Bosco’s actions. She grumbles, “He is such a coward.” She releases her arm from Raymond and says, “Thanks Ray.”
He asks, “Is he your boyfriend?”
“No way.” Myolie grunts.
They then go to watch a funny show. However, the performers do not appear when the show time arrives. The audience starts to complain. Suddenly, someone comes out from the backstage and brings out with him a microphone. He stations the mic at the center of the stage and tests it out. He says, “Sorry everyone. I have something really important to announce before this girl sitting at the front.”
The people all look at Myolie. She forces a smiles and yells, “Bosco, stop playing and get off that stage.”
Bosco fixes the mic and holds it tight in his hand. He says, “Myolie. I know I have acted quite timid these few days, but now I will say this in front of all these people. Myolie, I like you really much! I really wish that you can become my girlfriend.” He turns to Raymond and challenges him, “I’ll fight you with all my might if I have to in order to win Myolie.”
Raymond chuckles. He stands up and walks onto the stage. Bosco forms a horse stance and prepares to fight as Raymond approaches. However, Raymond is not there to fight. He says, “You are mistaken. I am just Myolie’s cousin, not boyfriend. We were just acting.”
“Really?” Bosco asks unbelievingly. He immediately puts his fists away and jumps off the stage. He stops in front of Myolie. He takes a deep breath and kneels down before her. He extends his hand out and asks, “Can you please be my girlfriend?”
The audience suddenly starts to chant, “Yes. Say yes!”
Myolie opens her mouth but refrains from speaking. She looks around and not knowing what to do. She says, “Don’t you try fooling me here.”
“I’m not.” Bosco replies determinedly.
Myolie then closes her eyes and says, “Alright. As you wish.” She walks off. Bosco immediately stands up and runs to catch up......................

One jar, two jars, three jars, the numbers of jars accumulate. Inside each jar of course are the beautiful paper cranes that Julian had made especially for Charmaine.
A week has passed and she has collected seven jars. After the first jar, each consecutive one has a small card accompany with it. Just take one as example, Julian writes, “I know you need time to sort out everything, and I won’t rush you. I just want to let you know that I am always there for you no matter what happened. All I will do now is to wish, wish that you will forgive me and can face me once again. Each crane represents one wish. And I will continue to wish until it’s granted.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charmaine puts down the beautiful bunch of flowers at the front of the tombstone. She says to the picture, “Steven, I am here. I finally discover the truth. But I think I can’t avenge for you. It’s too hard. I am sorry.” She sits down at the spot where Julian has sat a week ago.
She looks up at the gray, cloudy sky. She sighs and asks, “Steven, if you can, please tell me what to do? Suki told me to choose him, while my aunt told me to forget about him. If only he is not David Lam’s son, it might be easier. What should I do? Teach me please.”
A pigeon lands on Charmain’s lap and suddenly, it nods its head. Charmaine stares at the strange act and asks, “Are you Steven?” The pigeon flaps its wings and flies away........................

[At Lam’s Company]
“Come in.” Julian says without looking up. His eyes are fixed at the tiny paper on his hands, as he folds it into a triangle. His chair is turned toward the big glass window.
“Still folding?”
Upon hearing her voice, he turns his chair immediately. He can’t believe his eyes. The tiny paper drops from his hand.
She picks it up for him.
“I can’t believe that you will come and see me. Thanks Charmaine.” He grins happily.
“It’s seven already. Are you hungry?”
“Yes, do you want to eat dinner with me?” He waits intently for her answer.
“Why not.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She is cutting her fish fillet with a knife when Julian suddenly asks, “So can you now answer my question?”
“Ha? Oh. Later.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Julian parks his car away and walks Charmaine home. He knows that he needs to grasp this opportunity.
They walk in silence for awhile, but suddenly Julian grabs Charmaine’s hand and starts to run. He stops at the front of her apartment building.
He turns to face her. He begs her, “Please tell me!”
“I don’t want to.” She mumbles. She looks down.
He raises her head with his finger. He studies her eyes, and finds that something wasn’t there before is now in them; the way she looks into his eyes is now filled with something lacked before. He told himself: this is love.
He plants a kiss on her forehead. She blushes and says, “It’s not too appropriate.”
“Why not?” He says happily.
“Congratulations!” It’s Michael’s voice. He appears from behind. “So you have chosen, Charm?”
Charmaine replies embarrassingly, “I’m sorry Michael.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. Julian, you better treat Charmaine well, or I won’t let you live comfortably.” Michael threatens.
“I promise.” Julian says determinedly.
“Charm, it’s getting late. Your aunt will scold you if you don’t go home now. Come on.” Michael walks into the apartment building.
“Bye, Julian.” She smiles sweetly and turns to enter the building.
“Bye, see you tomorrow!” He shouts. He walks away joyfully.
But they don’t know that they are being watched...............................
