In this chapter, we are introduced to the young master of the comic shop, Mr. Gong, who has just returned from Shanghai with the diary of his fiancee, Miss Silvia. The young master asks Miss Silvia to give him the diary, which she does. Miss Silvia tells him that she and her lover, young master Ming, do not want to have any contact with Miss Silvia anymore, and that it is always Ming who clings to his master after all. The comic shop owner wonders aloud if he thinks Ming is worth his woman's attentions. He says that he never knew Ming was so big a deal, and wonders if he is worth Miss Silvia's obsession with him. He also wonders if it is worth Ming's interest in her to obsess over him. The next day, he notices that Ming likes to spend more time with him, and he wonders how two idiots like Ming and Ming can make a living. Ming caught a cold and his parents told him that he was busy. He hopes that Ming will stay with him forever and never leave him, because he is similar to him in that he is also abandoned by his birth parents, and so he has to care for him.
