In this chapter, we learn that xiangxiang and da have been together for only a few months, but that their intelligence has been growing rapidly. Worried that he will become like da when he grows up, the young man tells us that he doesn't care what kind of person he is, as long as he's good enough to take care of himself. He says that if he becomes good enough, he'll be able to be with his sweetheart and not have to worry about him all day long. He tells us, however, that he'd like to be better, but he doesn1t know how to do it. He worries that he1s going to be dumped by his sweetheart, and he says, "I1m the one who1 worries that I1ll be dumped" .
