The narrator tells us that he'll be settling down in Shanghai after this. He's not worried about his family, he's just worried about himself. He says that he doesn't care what people think of him, and that he just wants to settle down and have a nice life. The narrator says that she's going to settle in a big city after this, because she'd rather live in a small town than live in Shanghai with her family. He tells her that he was hit by a car, and he came back home earlier than he expected, so she hid in the closet and ended up causing her mom a lot of trouble. She tells him that she didn't force him to help her, but that she volunteered to help him because she was "attractive" and he was "forced into it" . He asks her if she'll bring someone home, and she says that's fine. She says that her father's birthday is coming up, and if she stays home, she can go and tidy up her room before going back to her family's house. She also tells the narrator that she has been busy lately, and has forgotten about it. She asks him to stop by, but he says he has to go back to Shanghai on his own, so he won't be invited to her home
