In this chapter, the narrator tells us that he's been gone for three years, five months, and 12 days. He's not sure if he deserves happiness or not. He wants to know what's going on with the family, especially with the house on fire. He can't believe that fei yuan has been gone so long, and that he has been pretending to be a sinner for so long. The narrator is so shocked that he starts to freak out. He starts to think that the house is on fire, and then he thinks that it's feiyuan who has been running away from the house. He also starts to worry about his clothes, thinking that they're too loose. He wonders why fei-yuan has been blushing so much, and he wonders if zhao-shui is the one who has the dirty mind. He asks zhaos-hui to take a temperature of the house, so that he can see how hot it is. .
