In this short scene, the two students discuss the situation at the school. The first student, Lingzi, asks the second student, Mr. Feng, to treat her like a "human being" and to respect her brother. The second student replies that he has already been treated like a human when he was a young child, and that he will treat his brother the same way. The two students then discuss the relationship between Lingzi and her brother, who has a "huge red burn mark" on his face. They also discuss the fact that Lingzi is jealous of the other student, Lan, who is also jealous of her brother and wants to see him. Lingzi tells her that her brother is already going to the United States to seek treatment for his wound, and she is not worried about her brother's feelings for her. She also tells Lingzi that she does not know her brother very well and wonders why he still wants to visit her. The other student tells her not to worry, as long as Lingzi can get well, she will not be jealous of him. The student then tells the second young master that the police have come to the school to serve tea to the students. The young master tells the police that he is going to persuade Lingzi to leave the school, and the students are horrified at the idea of the police coming to their house. The older man tells the students that they are following the procedure and that they will not disturb the family any more. The younger student tells the older man that he feels like he has become the "despicable third wheel" between the two women. He wonders why she is married to a man called feng xin and why she looks like she is being forced
