In this chapter, we learn that the protagonist is named Haiping and that he is a student at Renmin University of China. He asks Haiping if he wants to go to the new classroom, and Haiping replies that he does not want to go, because all the approaches he is good at all have become meaningless. Haiping asks if he has something on him, but Haiping says that he was just thinking that if they were brothers, they could always be together like this, and that they would always be able to gather together and have a big party. He tells Haiping that the person who will feel nostalgic for the time for him is only him. He says that if it is five years later, he will still be a classmate of Haiping's in his memory, and he is not satisfied that he has left a single trace of his life.
