"Hey, miss" is the first line of the chapter, which opens with a splash of water on the ground. The narrator tells us that he has just slipped and fallen in the rain. He apologizes for being a jerk, but he's still not feeling well. He tells his mom to take zhongyu back to the house, but she's too scared to do so. He's worried that her son is in town, and he wonders if they've had a son in a long time. He asks his mom if she has a girlfriend, and she says yes. She tells him that there's actually no effective treatment for dysmanorrhea, which is a condition in which a woman's heart stops beating. She suggests drinking some brown sugar water, but the narrator says that's not a good idea because it'll make the heart beat faster. He says that he'll go to the grocery store and buy some ginger, which will help him treat his daughter.
