This chapter opens with a soliloquy by the young master, who tells the audience that he grew up being taken care of by his master, although he can learn. He promises that, in the future, he and the young man will be able to build a house in the countryside and raise fish and shrimp in the pond. He says that he has always longed for such a house, but it will never come true. The young man then asks the audience why he has been rejected by them again. He tells them that he wants to go by himself, and no longer wants to be associated with any kind of romantic relationship. He explains that he is tired of being involved in such a relationship, which is too stressful.
