In this chapter, the young narrator tries to make sense of the events of the previous day. First, he asks xia yuan if he is trying to make up for what he has done. . He asks if he needs to carry his backpack, and the young man replies, "it's okay, thanks" . The young narrator then asks if the incident has any bearing on his life, since he has hurt his right hand. He says, "no worries" , and that he is fine with the fact that fate will always lead him to meet the special people he is meant to meet. He then asks why he is so slow, and wonders why he should be so fast. He tells the young men that they can keep talking, and he promises not to interrupt them. He also tells them that he would be mad if he were to be mad because of the encounter with chu lun. He explains that he thinks that chu may have known that she did not want him to thank him, so he did not need to thank her. He adds that she should learn to be considerate, and not always do whatever she wants and be straightforward. He goes on to say that he does not know why she dislikes him, but that he might know that she does not want to thank the man. He wonders why she is talking about chu all the time, and then asks, "is he that great?" . Then he asks if she just prefers the type of boy he is, and she answers, "what are you saying?" He then tells her that she is asking him questions like this because she is "insensitive" to his feelings, and asks why she was mad at him for asking such a silly question. He continues, "being concerned with love, and romance, is even hum - life is hard." .
