In this chapter, we learn that Yu and Ojun's sister, Shu-ying, has come to see her sick sister, and she is very upset. She is afraid that the girl is a "lunatic" and a "blundering bully" , and that Yu is trying to "comfort people" by treating her so well. Shu says that he will go to see the girl and that he has something for the two of them. He tells the elder brother that he feels like he can't do anything for the girl, but that she has grown up like him, and he should let her go free. He also tells the older brother that when he grows up, he will be separated from the two boys, unless he plans to marry Ojun. He says that sometimes he envyes the older brothers because they can be with anyone they like, but he knows that one day, they will all be separated. The elder brother says that his sister's condition will get worse and worse and that she is aware of it too. He plans to ask for medicine from other sects in case there is an emergency, and the elder brothers say that they will never let the girl stop taking medicine.
