The chapter opens with a description of the students' dormitories. The narrator tells us that the boys' dormitories are "so messy" , whereas the ones at the university are "truly a paradise" . He also says that the university dormitory is "good enough" for him, but that he was "too greedy" to take a place in the university's dorms. He asks the narrator why they have to be together, and the narrator replies that it's good to have friends. He then tells the narrator that he just played basketball, and his jersey is "sweaty." The narrator says that he fell while playing, and that his shoulder is bruised, but his body is sturdy enough not to feel any pain. He says he wants a body that feels pain like hiss, and then he shows the narrator some of his new red wines, which he has made for college students. He explains that his tastes are "too different" from those of "ordinary people," and that he doesn't like the idea of having to live with his parents when they have children. He adds that he bought the house from his father, who wanted to build a "big villa" in the city. He wants the two of them to live in the house when he and his family have children, and he wants them to have a place to live when they start having children. This is the first time he's seen the clothes that the narrator makes for men, and she guesses that he is a boy. She says that she wants to dress the boy in clothes that are "cold sweat," and she wants him to know what she's thinking. She wants him "to know," but she says she can't "put up with it" all the time, and so she won't be able to contact him. She tells him that they're not yet together, but she promises to bless them both.
