This chapter's epigraph comes from a conversation between Caio and Meihuan. Caio is worried that he is not good enough at the major to complete the designs for his new house. He is also worried about the fact that his friends still look down upon him. He tries to please them, but they continue to look down on him. When Caio asks why he does not stand up for himself, he is told that it is because he is so good at it that he can do so easily. He then tells Caio to step back and let Caio teach him a lesson. When he does so, Caio tells him that he will not be bullied anymore. He tells him to put his friend in her place, and Caio calls him a "puppet boy" and an "ugly girl" and tells him not to get close to them anymore.
