The next morning, Ling is all, "I'm the real thing, and you're an impostor!" . She's not, she says, "the real thing," she's just "the smell of queen Rakshasa" . Ling's a little worried that she'll get caught, but she doesn't know what to do. She tells him to leave her alone, because the round midnight prize is the prize of the winner . He tells her that he promised to help her get to see him, but now that he's alone, he can't help but wonder what's going on. Ling tells him that the couple he was shipping will finally get together, and that jiu-tao is insensitive to the critical moment, and their relationship will not change at all. Ling thinks that lian will use the midnight to recall everything, and then he'll think about what happened.
