The next morning, Guppy wakes up to find that his friend, Cai Ming-liang, looks exactly like Dou-Dou. Guppy tells Cai that he's been talking to him about this, and that if he finds out, he'll be happy to tell him about it. He's also worried about what his friend will think of the news, since he hasn't spoken to him in a long time. He tells Guppy that Cai Ming is calling him "big brother" again, which reminds him of the time when they were young, and he forgot to call him "little brother." Guppy asks what's wrong with his brother, and Guppy says that he doesn't want to make eye contact with him anymore. He also says that his brother has been avoiding talking about him in the past year or so, which makes Guppy think that something's up with him. He wants to know why his brother isn't saying anything about Cai Ming's "kissing and drinking" anymore, which is what he did last year in the "media post" that was published in the paper. He says that the post has been "deleted long ago," which means that it's no longer relevant.
