Everyone goes back to their houses for the winter vacation, except for chang le who tries to play a murder-mystery game. Aww, man, that's a lot of fun. It's also a good time to mention that xiatanoisbetter has sent him a knife. He doesn't want anyone to get too close to her, so he won't say anything about it. He's back to normal life, and he's happy to see that she's grown up. He thinks that it's time for her to get some rest, but then he thinks about how sad it is that she seems to have grown up so quickly. He worries about her lovesickness, and worries that she might not be able to handle the other person's feelings. He also worries about chang ling's reaction to his rejection, and wonders if he'll even want to see him. He knows that he has to leave the house before the new year, but he can't figure out how to get there. .
