Someday I Never Knew

In this chapter, we learn that the young man is related to Caixuan by blood. He tells us that he is now living in the city with his family, and that he wants to go to the competition in order to make some money. He says that he earned money by selling his "still life" , but that he does not want to be a burden to his family. He wants to see his mother too, and he says that when he was younger, he was afraid of what would happen to him if the man went to his mother. When he was older, he stopped being scared, because wounds would always heal after the pains. He asks if he can keep the secret from his mother for her whole life, and she says that she has been his favorite person ever since he was a kid. The young man tells her that he will not keep anything from her, and asks her if she will tell him what will happen after tomorrow. She tells him that she is sick of seeing his face, and when he asks her what is on her mind, she tells him to tell her about the night before. She then asks him what happened to him after the competition. He replies that he has always hated him.
