The next morning, Mingyan tells Cai that sister hua has died, and Cai asks Mingyan if it is okay for Cai to stay with her. Mingyan says that he is sorry for Cai's loss, but that he does not want to make a scene. Cai tells Mingyan that his parents divorced when he was a child, and that he was left at his grandmother's place. He says that his grandmother is the only person who really cares for him, and she died before he could make a good life. Cai asks if he should take a few days to recover before he leaves, and Mingyan replies that he must return to the base immediately to report to the chief about his injury.
