The chapter opens with phil's declaration that he's not the only one worried about the loss of his memories. He's worried about his family's pressure to get them back, and worries that he won't be able to face his elders if they know that he helped them get the memories. zixin asks xixi what's going on in his family, and she says that she's just a little hesitant about taking the final step. She gives him a document to sign, and tells him that he can return the shares that he has been holding for her for the past three years. She also tells him to keep the other 5 percent of the shares as her own, and to keep them as they were when she was their mother. She tells zixi that the marriage between her family and the family of the yuns was settled by their ancestors, and that she can't break it as she wishes. She says that xix and yun's love for each other makes it impossible for them to just steal her away. They should marry, she says, because they love each other so much that they'll protect each other in their lives.
