The next morning, Lingwei wakes up to find that his father is seriously ill. He tells the doctor that he has tried to call for his father, but he cannot find him. He asks Lingwei if he has been plotting with his sister, and Lingwei says that he does not care what he has done with her. He says that the interests of their families are important to him, and that he will not do anything to cheat on them. Lingwei asks what is going on between him and Yiyi, and he says that they are serious about each other, but that they do not want to hurt each other. He then asks if he can see Yiyi later that afternoon, and she says that she will. She tells him to get well soon and take rou with him.
