Back in the apartment, the girl tells Lin that she has to go back to the apartment with the young master. Lin tells her that he will have a talk about life with her, and that they can have fun together all day. The girl thinks that this is a good thing, because it means that she will not have to be jealous of the friendship between the two of them. She also thinks that it is bad that Lin is a womaniser, because he will be taken care of by someone else. She asks why he didn't have a conversation with her about life matters. Lin replies that what she said was not unreasonable, because she is not interested in him, and she does not want to hear of his dubious words. She tells him that she invited him here because he asked her about prosody, which is the art of singing. She says that she did not recognize the flaws in her singing when she was singing, but that she was imitating others. She adds that she also thought about the fact that she would be laughed at if she offered to teach the fish to swim. Lin says that this statement has awakened her up, because the songs in her hometown are different from hers here.
