The party is over, and the young men are back in the house. The young men try to talk to each other, but they are interrupted by the sound of a dog's voice. The dog is the voice of "my goddess" , and she tells the men that they should apologize to her if they have offended her. She tells them that she has made a mistake, but that it is not their fault. She asks the men to tell her about the rules of the party so that she will not offend someone else. The men tell her that they do not care about her marriage at her family, but only about the party as a whole, and that the real sponsor for the party is the "chongming house" .
