It's late at night, and the narrator is alone in the bathroom. He asks the waiter if he's okay to bathe alone. The waiter tells him that it's fine, but that he needs to call someone else. The narrator asks if there's anything wrong with calling someone else when you're alone, but the waiter doesn't seem to have a problem with that. He tells the narrator that he can't stay with him because he feels lonely at night. He says that he heard that the narrator fought in a fight with Shaochen, and that he'll have to deal with that in the future. He's not sure how to handle it, but he says that it won't be too hard to handle. He invites the others to dinner the next night and then to the office the next day. He gives them a bunch of flowers and asks them to sign and take them to his office.
