The scene opens in a banquet hall in Shanghai, where the Governess is waiting for her lover. The Governess tells him that she is also from Shanghai and that she has just witnessed a "horrible death" . She tells him to "grab a bite" of her and to "destroy yin" , which is the name she gave him when he first met her three years ago. She asks him to tell her the truth about the events that have happened in the past three years. He tells her that he has heard a bit about the conversation he had with Zizixin and that he will tell him the truth after he finds her. She then asks him if he has been arguing with a mere "hypocrite" and if he is going back with Mr. Cai. He says that he is not going back and that if a person has fallen in love with him, he will say yes. He then asks her if she has been asking about the dwarf, and she says that she never wants to talk about the man. She says that her relationship with the man has been impossible and that none of these could have happened. She adds that she had promised to leave her alone for the past five years, but that she just loves her and cannot help it. She begs him to give her a chance, and he says he has managed his family and has no one to stop him from being with her. He asks her not to break his heart again and says that their relationship is possible. She reminds him that his mother no longer wants him to be with another man and that her grandmother would never be able to be grandmother if she did not let her be with him. He begs her to let him marry another man, but she says she will only be his. He pushes her to embrace him, and they push each other to the limit. He realizes that he loves her so deeply that he cannot give up.
