The scene opens with a conversation between Mr. Manette and Mr. Cai Mingke. The two men are in the middle of a conversation when Manette notices that Cai is eavesdropping on them. He realizes that he has violated the agreement between the two men. He asks Cai if he can lean on him while he goes to serve the boss. Cai tells him that he will be back later. He tells Manette that he broke the door to Mingke's house and that he is fine. He says that he bought some fruits from Mingke today and that the man likes the fruits. Cai asks if he is mad that he yelled at him this morning, and Manette says that it is because he still has "got used" to being alone. He then asks if Cai is still upset, and Cai says that someone has spoken ill of him to him. He adds that he does not want to fight, but he will do whatever Cai wants. Cai then asks him why he closes his eyes and looks at him, his only man, and not at any of his other women. Cai replies that he cannot look at him and think of him as any other man. He also says that if he had more women, he would not be able to bear the pain of Mingke
