The scene opens in a fancy ice cream shop in Paris, where a young man named zouye and his mother are waiting for their son to arrive at the ball. The young man, mian mian, is excited to meet his "dearest friend." He asks his mother to kiss him, but she refuses, saying that she is his "mother" and that he is the son of mian's father. Worried that mian is trying to protect his friend, the young man tells his mother that the ball is coming up the next day. Unsure of what is going on, his mother asks mian if he is on a date, and mian replies that they have already met the one they wanted to see. Confused, the girl is blushing, but mian assures her that they will meet again the following day.
