This chapter's epigraph comes from a conversation between xia and Yusheng. xia asks Yusheng about his son's father, who passed away before they could wed. Yusheng must not let xia know about the father's death, since he is the father of the child. She asks him to look at the photographs of zhirou, who she believes is the man beside her. She also asks him if he knows about the fact that she is having an affair with Yusheng's son. She tells him that she has witnessed a blood test result that proves the affair, and she asks him how he can accept such a woman into his home. She says that she cannot bear to watch him break down when he finds out about the affair. She adds that she will deal with the affair sooner or later, but that if he is in love with a woman, he cannot easily forget her even for a year
