Tzu-chi's purse is taken away by An's debtor who discovers in it

a document convening the delivery of precious jewellery and conspires to rob it. Knowing the plot from An, Hui rushes to the spot and is shot by the

robbers, much to Hsi-ya's worry.

Scolded by Chi for lying that her foot is hurting her, Li-hung,

indignant and sad, admits her sorrowful experience which arouses Chi's sympathy. Despite Hui's explanation, Pao-wen, worrying that Hui and Hsi-ya will

ultimately fall in love, hints to Hsi-ya that as her intimate classmate, she should retreat from the eternal triangle.

Frustrated in love affair, Hsi-ya drinks with Hui. Discovering that

they are still close to each other, Pao-wen leaves Hui.
