In this chapter, the two students discuss their future plans. The first student, Ming, tells the other student, Duan, that he does not think about the future because he is so stupid. He tells Duan that he will simply survive high school and then graduate quietly. He will find a job and marry a wife, have children, and then find another girlfriend. The second student, Hong, tells him that he would be cheating on his wife if he were to cheat on her. Duan tells the first student that he has seen a genius in class 3 score a perfect score on an exam. The other student tells him about the proctor of the exam who was very strict in enforcing the rules. The two students decide to go to the cafe together. The waiter tells the second student that the place will be sold out if they are late.
