The scene opens with a soliloquy by Lin Qian. He asks her why she didn't tell him about their affair the day before. Lin says that she found it "funny to dupe" her, and that she didn "want to dupe you" . She asks him if he's feeling unwell, and he says that he has his period. Lin asks her if she caught a cold yesterday, and she says that it was the "tv series" from the previous day. Lin tries to get her to admit that she saw the series, but she says she doesn't have time to do so. Lin tells her that she's exhausted from the day, and asks her to take her to have a "rest" , but Lin says he can't take her for a rest, because he has "the energy" to snore. He tells her to leave him alone, and Lin asks if she is feeling better. She says she is, but that she is "filled with regret" because of her "stupid acts." She tells Lin that she has made a "serious promise" to her, that she won't let the baby or Lin be wronged in the future. She tells him to trust her, because she will become a "man you can rely" on if he means what he says.
