New Year's Eve, the narrator tells us, is coming up. He tells us that he's been busy lately, and his dad is worried about him. He doesn't think it's a good idea to worry about him on the eve of a new year, since he hasn't yet started a family. He also says that if he wants to marry, he won't have to marry someone because he'll have enough dowry to support a family of his own. The narrator is worried that her dad will think she's trying to force her to marry Caiyu, but she says that's not the case. She's just trying to get him to marry her. Caiyu isn't married yet, but he has been flirting with her for a long time. He's still shy, she says, and she'll be scared of him. She says that Caiyu has made her a meal, and that he is waiting for her to get home. She wants to know what kind of man Caiyu is. She tells him to stay with them and eat with them. She also tells Caiyu to stay and go to the hospital. She has a cold and wants to go home, so Caiyu will come with her. He wants her to stay, too, but Caiyu says that it'll rain later, so he should stay. He asks her to sleep over at Caiyu's house, which she says is reasonable, since they're both in love.
