The next day, Guo tells the students that he is sorry that he cannot be with them, but his heart is with them. He says that he left that day because he had a "family emergency" and had to leave home. He hopes that it did not bring down the mood of the students. Guo asks what happened with the family of Dongzi, who received a call informing him that his brothers had been admitted to the hospital. He tells them to concentrate on the swimming tournament. He also tells them that the cover of the latest issue of the Golden Swim is "Xunzhou" , and that they should be like him if they want to be the champion of the asian games. They talk about how they got into the swimming team, and Guo says that they are too polite. He asks if they still want to remain in the team. They both say that they would rather stay in the reserve team if they were to fall off their pedestal. They tell each other that they owe each other a favor, and they decide to have a meeting the next day.
