"How is Zhangpang?" Bu Fanfan asked, sitting at the couch in front of Lao Yue.

"He's doing okay," Lao Yue answers, sipping his tea.

"Because of him, I had to let go of my best lieutenant." The head fairy complained.

"Are you forgetting you're the one who sent Zhangpang there?" The old fairy reminded him. "To see if its possible to save a fairy by using friendship."

"If it can really happen, then my fairies who are in a coma, still has a chance to return to their human form. It's like giving them a second chance."

Lao Yue leaned in, "What are you planning to do now? They only have 5 days left,"

Bu Fanfan stands up, "Tell Ziyang to start writing the paper work. I think, Zhangpang is going to succeed."

"But if he does, wouldn't his human form die there?"

"I don't think that Yanjun guy will let that happen," Bu Fanfan sneaked a smile on his face. "I'm imagining what if my master had a stronger bond with me before? Would I have been saved, too?"

"You had the same situation as Zhangpang, didn't you?"

Bu Fanfan nods, "I was the first fairy who was in a coma. The second was Zhangpang. I still remember how I read him when he appeared in front of me for the first time and in that moment, I knew I wanted to try something out."

"So, when Yanjun wished in the fountain, you personally picked Zhangpang," Lao Yue continues. "Knowing full well that his human form was the reason for the death of Yanjun's girlfriend."

Bu Fanfan played with the figurines on the old fairy's shelves, "I also wanted to see what a human would choose. A fairy who he just met but is helping him save her or the girl he's been inlove with for the past 4 years?"

"Checkmate, again!" Chaoze exclaims, pushing Yanjun's king off the chessboard. "I'm getting good at this."

Yanjun scoffed, pointing a finger at himself, "That's because you learned from the best,"

"Of course, I did!" Chaoze nods, and looked back behind him, not minding Yanjun who was waiting for his answer, "Thank you, Zhixie!"

Yanjun can't believe Chaoze just used this technique to tease him, "You're learning."

Chaoze shrugs, "I just wanted to pay you guys back for the things you've been doing to me!"

They started another game, as they saw Zhangpang frowning. He was sulkily flying above the room.

"What's wrong buddy?" Yanjun asked as he hovered above them.

"We only have 5 days left and I don't know if I can save Yuzhu," Zhangpang admits. Getting all nervous inside.

"What are you talking about?" Yanjun asks. "Of course you can! We've been training!"

Chaoze nods, "Yanjun's right. Don't doubt yourself Zhangpang or it wouldn't work."

Zhangpang widens his eyed as he moved to their eye level, "You're right! I shouldn't be getting insecure! I should trust myself more!"

He suddenly did a weird pose from a cartoon, making Chaoze disappear and Zhixie hide behind the couch.

"You saw that on tv, didn't you?" Yanjun asked, feeling embarrassed for his friend.

"Yeah, sailor moon," Zhangpang explains. "I love that show!"
