The next morning, Mr. Qu is worried about his son's performance in the midterm exam. He tells him to rest and to eat tomorrow. He also tells him that the two men are living together, and that they have been reading together all this time. He wonders how his son has been able to get enlightened, and wonders why he has been buying books and reading all day long. He is worried that his son is sleeping all day, and he begs him to take the exam again. He asks to be allowed to sleep in a quiet place, but he is told that the place is noisy and that he has to stay up all night to study. He then tells his son to return with him to the east because he has cut off his connection to the west.
