In this chapter, we learn that the two of them are on their way back to the city of tianxing, and that the only purpose of the journey is to bring the two back to school. The narrator tells us that he spent his childhood in idleness, and one day, he was injured by a youth who saved him. The youth made him realize that he was in love with the youth, and he wanted to be with the young man. The young man had other concerns that separated him from the narrator, and the narrator continued his search for the youth. Now that he has lived for a thousand years, he never changes his mind about the youth's fate.
