In this chapter, we learn that chengxi has been with his brother for less than a month, and that he has not been able to find any of his former girlfriends to stay with him for more than a few days. He tells us that he does not know how serious he is to his fiancee, but that he is tired of champagne. He says that his attachment to love "has faded to nothing," and that his fiancee is the first woman he has ever seen give her heart to. He also says that he wants to be more serious in his relationship with his fiancee because he has been torn between his love for his brother and his desire to marry his fiancee.
