In this chapter, we are introduced to Dr. Lan and his daughter, Dr. Wu, who are in the middle of preparing a meal for the girl's birthday party. The meal is a combination of "takeout" and "noodles." Dr. Lee, who is also in the midst of preparing the meal, is surprised to find that the girl has requested "long - life noodles" , a traditional han dish. Dr. Lau tells the girl that her friends have sent her a large number of gifts for her birthday, including a large cake with the name of the person who sent it. The cake looks expensive, but the girl decides to try it.
