In this short scene, we learn that Shushan has fallen in love with Lin Ling, and that he wants to marry her. We learn that Lin's father was seriously ill with a tumor last year, and he has asked his family to help him find a job after graduation, so that he can marry her after he graduates. Shushan, however, feels that he is not suited for her, because she does not have the temperament that he does. He feels that she is too clingy, and asks her to play with him. He tells her that he has run out of money, so he would like her to take care of him.
