When the scene opens, the narrator is dressed in a suit. He tells us that he's feeling "weird all the time" and that he doesn't know what's going on. He's not sure how to refuse his sister's invitation to meet her grandparents, but he'll have to figure it out later. The narrator is worried that the family will be late for dinner, so he decides to take yiyun with him to meet his grandparents. He wants to make sure that they don't get too close to each other, so that they can have a private chat. He also wants to be sure that the guests are not too far away from each other. He asks if there's anything he can do to make it easier for them to get to know each other better. He says that he has to figure out a way to keep Yiyi with them so that he and his grandparents can have some "good chat with him" . Yiyi says that she's afraid to meet the grandparents because they're so close, but that if she does, she'll be able to avoid them. She's also worried that they'll ask her to apologize for what she said on the internet, but she says that it's all nonsense, and that she should just stop wasting her time on it. She says that the apology is the "most sincere apology ever" she has ever made. She also says that da-lingwei is growing up, and she wonders why he hasn't finished talking yet. The grandparents knock on the door, and the narrator says that they have a guest to meet. They invite him to have some tea, and he says that's the best thing ever. He then asks if they have another guest, and they say no
