Summer vacation is over, and the second year of college is just getting started. Reluctantly, zheng tells cheng that he's not ready to return to school yet, but he'll tell him the good news: "This topic is meaningless" . He also tells zheng to fill out the scholarship application for students with financial difficulties so that his parents won't give him any money. zheng sends cheng to the office and tells him that he can join the competition. Worried about the competition, cheng asks zheng if he should ask the director directly. He says that the director will definitely turn him down if he asks him directly, but if zheng asks him, the chances of success will be higher. Unsure of what zheng wants to tell him, sheng asks if he can please help her.
