In this chapter, we learn that we're not the only ones who've suspected that Ching-Liang has been having an affair. We're also told that he's the only one who can't be trusted, since Ching-Ling-Ping is the one who's been growing up with him. This makes us wonder why he didn't just run away and kill himself when he was a child. We also learn that he doesn't want to be a bridesmaid or a best man, because he'd rather be his own best man.
