The next day, Mingke and feifan go for a walk, and Mingke tells Xinhua that he's not angry with his sister for ignoring him. Mingke says that if his sister was still alive, she would have married Mingke, had kids, and become a housewife. Xinhua reports that Mingke's daughter is serving Mingke watermelon, but Mingke refuses to eat it. He says that the grapes are seedless, and Xinhua points out that the girl just went into another room and closed the door. He asks Xinhua why liancheng is so happy, and she says that he must have had a good talk with her when she was out of the room. She says that she was there for a long time, but that she just left the room and went back to her room. He tells her that since he is her brother, he would be mad if he were with another woman. He also says that since she is his sister, she must be mad at Mingke for holding another woman in a public place, and that she must have known Mingke was going to hold another woman, too. He adds that he would have been mad as well if he had been with a woman like her, because she is so beautiful. He wonders if he can compete with her in the future, and he says he'll wait and see if there are any good opportunities for him.
