Back at the hotel, Lin tries to convince his older brother, xianglong, that the woman at the emporium was not him. Lin explains that his cousin, nan-lin, had promised him that she would keep a secret the events of the night between yi-lin and her cousin. Lin tells his brother that the bone structure of a man is 100 percent male. Lin is shocked that this is not true. He says that he has a feeling that his cousins are like him, and that they will probably be the first generation of cyborgs. Lin asks his parents if they agreed that he should study abroad. He explains that he promised his parents that he would study abroad, although they still do not know about his heterophobia. He tells his father that he can go abroad as he wishes, but after he graduates and returns home, he has to respect his decision as well.
