The next morning, we find out why no one has picked up the phone. It turns out that the guy who beat Yulan at the beginning of the chapter is still hanging up on Yulan, just because Yulan beat him up the last time he saw him. Yulan tries to calm him down, saying that he's just been a little nervous about their relationship, and that they'll get married anyway. He says that he doesn't care if they get married or not, because he hasn't wanted to ask for anything more from Yulan in his life, even sex. He tells Yulan to go home and apologize to his mother, because she's waiting for him to come pick her up.
