In this chapter, we learn that Lin's company, shengda, has been in financial trouble with Lin and his family for a long time, and that Lin has been trying to get Lin to take over as the company's sole owner. Lin is worried about his mother, who is also a major shareholder in the company. Lin tells his mother that he has a date with Ruxue the next day at midnight. He tells her that his classmates still hate him because of the rumors and threats he has received from them. He says that he will beat back those who threaten him. He asks her to open her eyes the next morning so that he can see her again. She tells him to take his hands and kiss her, but he is too handsome to do so. He sends her a message at 1:00 in the morning, but she has forgotten it. She asks him if he would go with her to explain their relationship to Ichu Beiye, and he replies that he would do nothing else.
