The next morning, Cai tells the others that he is feeling better, but that he still has a fever. He tells them that he has made them a fruit tea instead of drinking concentrated tea, as it will help them sleep better. He also tells them not to worry about the fight with the old man, because he is not angry. Cai asks if they can clear up the room for privacy, since he has something to say. He says that she is his woman, and there is nothing wrong with her being shunned. He asks if the master can figure out how to deal with the situation, and if it is true that he allowed his dogs to bite her. Cai says that he does not like that woman, but he is afraid of what he will do if the situation were to escalate. He suggests that he go to comfort her, since she is not even Cai's woman. If she does not make a big fight, he says, then maybe the whole situation will be over. He will go with Cai to protect her, and then he will go back to Orient International.
