The chapter opens with a conversation between the two students. The first student, who is named Xie, asks if his mother called him at the same time. The second student, whose name is Hu, tells the first student that his mother was at the opening ceremony of the tournament. The two students discuss the significance of the match, and the second student asks if he should thank his mother for his victory. The student replies that he does not need to thank her, as he was working at the hotel during the summer break when Manman was staying there. He says that he saw his mother running away from the hotel, and that he sent her back after he told her there were bad guys in the city. He explains that he helped Manman during times of crisis and that she is smart, brave, and kind to the world. The other student asks whether he knows what people will think of him, and he says that if he no longer likes his mother, he should just leave. He tells the other student that it is not for him or Manman, but for his mother. He then asks if there are any children in his mother's school who will be affected by his victory
