This chapter opens with a conversation between the two young men, who are both students at the same university. One of the men is a graduate student and the other a postgraduate student. The two men are sitting in front of the other's studio. The graduate is liyuanu, who is a member of the university's art club. He tells the two men that he will be joining the club from now on and that he has decided to join the beauty club because he thinks that Lin is interested in joining. He also tells the men that the past relationship between him and senior liu was a mistake that he made, and he regrets it. He asks the men to think of whom he is trying to help. He then asks if they are hosting an exhibition of their work. He feels that after a while, they have become more and more harmonious. He says that the studio next door is where he has been storing his drawings for his upcoming exhibition. He wants to know what the men are doing there.
