It's late, and the narrator is having a hard time controlling himself. He feels like he's being teased. He wants to know what's going on, but he can't figure out what to say. He asks if she wants to continue touching him, and she says she'll do it. The narrator asks if he can touch other places on his body, and he says yes. He's always wanted to know about men's special parts, and how they got hurt. He tells the story of how Duke An Ding got hurt and how he had to wash the wound and put it on his bed. Wow, that's touching. He says he'd always wondered when men became so romantic, and now he knows why: madam must have special qualities that explain her love for duke An Ding. He goes on to say that she's the toughest woman in the book, and it's her special quality that makes him fall in love with her.
