Having lost her virginity, Han Shuying felt guilty towards Ouyang Yuming. She had agreed to meet him at the pavilion by Dongyang Lake on the evening of the 25th, and she arrived that night.

"Han Yichen! You left for two years and didn't come back, and as soon as you came back you left again. Is this how you should treat your mother?"
