At the civil affairs bureau, Pei Yansi delivers a cutting ultimatum to Shen Heyu: 'I'm waiting for you to come crawling back.' When she vanishes from his life completely, he discovers the weight of his mistake. Desperation drives Shen Heyu to pursue her with fierce determination, pursuing her constantly and eventually prostrating himself to plead for reconciliation. 'Pei Yansi, could you at least try to behave normally?' Shen Heyu protests. A knowing smile plays across Pei Yansi's face. 'Who says I need to act human? I'm perfectly content being your devoted lapdog.'
