The next morning, Mingke scolds her granddaughter for not being "a forward thinker" and comparing Mingke with "mingke frequently" . Mingke tells her that she is her only friend and that she cannot let her get into trouble for her actions. She tells Mingke that she has fallen in love the first time she saw him, but Mingke does not know who it is. She asks Mingke why he does not talk to her about her feelings for him, and Mingke says that he has seen many young women like her who do not love themselves. He asks her if she wants to get married, and she tells him that she does not want to be married, but that she would like to be united with Mingke. She says that her period is coming, and that Mingke is smoking again. She wants Mingke to look at her and find out if she is pregnant.
