The next morning, Ming and Xiaozhong go for lunch at a nearby restaurant. Ming tells him that his drumming career is doing well, and that people have forgotten about the rumors about him and his wife. Ming says that she and her friend have been together a long time and that coming out about their relationship is nothing but an open declaration of love. She says she doesn't want her store to be crowded because she would be too busy to open it in crowded places.
