In this chapter, we learn that Guizhou is doing very well in life. He tells us that he and Jingtian are now "strangers" and that it is time for them to forget each other. Guizhou asks if he remembers their childhood pact to get married when they were young. He says that he will listen to whatever he says. He asks if Guizhou will marry him if he takes a step back from life and says he will consider it. He then asks if she will consider him because she is the one he trusts the most in his life. She says she does not love him, but she longs for his warmth. She tells him that she cannot bear to leave him because he is not allowed to take off even if he does not agree to marry her. She then asks him why he is here, and he tells her that he is worried that she will stumble across his date with her paramour. She is so happy that he did not deny that they were lovers. She asks him if there is something she has been looking into and he says he has been wanting to know.
