The chapter opens with a discussion of the effects of eggs on a person's health. The narrator tells us that eggs reduce swelling and bruises when they are hot, but they do nothing to reduce swelling or bruises when the temperature is cold. He then asks Sha En what Sha En thinks of his figure. Sha En replies that he thinks Sha En is attractive because his muscles are trained right, and Sha En's muscles seem to offer "safety" because he is a "sunshine boy like you." Sha En tells the narrator not to ask Sha En about his muscles, because he has a sister, so he doesn't need to tell Sha En anything. The two men discuss the return of Baihao and Zhu Lei, who are back in the dormitory. The men tease Sha En for being so reliable, but Sha En says that he is not proud of his wife's compliment. He tells the men that he wants to treat Sha En to dinner because he just got his monthly allowance, and he thinks that Sha En will be unhappy if he goes out with someone else. The three men go to a bar, where Sha En asks for food. The bartender tells them that the price is reasonable for college students, and that there are only two tables left. The man says that there is no way Sha En could have a crush on someone else if only he and the girl he loves could do so.
