The chapter opens with the arrival of Shu Yun, who has come to visit his parents. He is accompanied by two young men, one of whom is the son of the house's previous owner, and the other is the grandson of the man who left the house. The two men explain that they are not the legal successors to the house, but that they have come to talk to the young man about it. They tell him that his parents want him to return to live with them, and that he is too young to handle such a situation. They explain that the house is full of useless things, and they will find a job for him after graduation. The young man asks if he can go home with his parents, but the two men tell him to be realistic and not to wallow in dreams. They invite him to drop his luggage off at the society and then introduce him to everyone.
