The narrator tells us that he's just turned 18 and is going to college. He doesn't think he'll be able to pass up the opportunity to go to school with him. He's not even graduated from high school, and he'd rather be working than going to school. He tells the narrator that he can't pass up an opportunity like this. The narrator says that he wishes he could say that earlier, because it would have made him feel better. He says that his room is the only room in the house and that he has only one bed. He asks the narrator about his drinking, and the narrator tells him that there are people looking for him every day. He also says that the brothel where he found a pretty girl is also a brothel, but that he hasn't seen a prostitute as hot as the one he found in the brothel. He goes on to say that he knows that the girl is a hooker, and that she has to be introduced to him once she's done. He hopes this is his last time to visit the brothel, because the place is "like a dog-snest" . He adds that the welfare he receives from the government isn't enough for him to eat or smoke. The rent is 200 yuan a month, but sometimes he only eats and smokes enough to make ends meet. He promises to clean up the place and move out with the narrator tomorrow. He wants to know if the narrator is afraid that his family will kick him out, or if the two of them are going to live at his house. He replies that he is not afraid, but he wants to make sure that the narrator knows that he needs to have money first before he can live off women.
