In this chapter, we are introduced to Lydia, the mother of Caixin's teacher, and we learn that she is the current lover of the young man. She tells us that Caixin has been busy lately, and that he has misunderstood her relationship with her son. When Caixin asks her if she is already living with him, she tells him that she will answer yes if he asks her to do so. She warns him not to make things difficult for him, as he only has to blame when someone else comes to his rescue.
