The next morning, Cai Ming asks his mother to make him some soup for his sister-in-law, who is sick. Cai Ming tells his mother that the soup tastes just like the one he made for her the last time he visited her. He also tells her that he is certain that his feelings for her are pure, not tainted by "other complicated silly girl" . The two women head back to the house, where Cai Ming prepares the soup.
