Lijiang No. 6 High School and Liyang No. 2 High School discuss the relative merits of their schools. Lijiang says that his school is better than theirs because of the number of art students, while in Liyang, there are no art students at all. He tells his friend, Zhan Shao, that he knows that he lied about his health condition while taking the monthly exam at Harvard. He says that he used to regard him as his strongest opponent, but now that he has fallen so low, he does not expect him to be so low. He is disappointed in Zhan, because he heard that he had been punched again. He wonders who did it, and wonders why he should have heard about it properly before telling him. The class begins, and the students discuss what should happen if there is a thunderstorm later. Although the first thunderstorm did not occur because of thunder and no one heard the thunder, the second thunderstorm is not going to occur again. They decide that they need to find a way to deal with the thunderstorm.
