Ning Que's dormitory was at the back of the mountain, and he stayed in the Academy because Sangsang was very ill. She did not wake up for a long time, and when she did she was still weak. Ning Que lulled her to sleep by telling her jokes and singing songs like when they were children. Noticing that he was very tired, Tang Xiaotang decided to take over the responsibility of taking care of Sangsang so that he could have a break outside.
It was near dusk and the rear of the mountain was enveloped in warm red light. Ning Que walked out of the yard and saw Chen Pipi standing near the lake with his hands on his waist. "What happened?" Asked Ning Que.
Chen Pipi looked at the rippling water and the algae in it, his face full of loneliness. He answered, "I feel strange seeing you and Sangsang have such a good relationship."
