In this chapter, we are introduced to the new graduate supervisor, Qu'an, who has just returned from a skiing trip. He tells us that he has been followed by two idiots, one of whom is a teacher named Tan Xiao, and the other is a man named Dongfang, who is in charge of the school's engineering department. He explains that he is worried about the situation between the two men, and he wants everyone to know what is going on. He wants them to know that he does not have a family, and that he even has a wife and a daughter. He also wants to know if they are discussing work and studies, and if they even have families. He says that he will find out for them, and hopes they are satisfied.
