Han Qi Luo meets Ling's friends Zhu Yi and Sha Zhi. Sha Zhi tells Qi Luo about Ling's twin brother Sheng and how he died. Qi Luo also learns about how Ling's brother's death affects him. This helps explains why Ling had passed out in front of Qi Luo twice. Ling and his friends go to Japan to compete in a motorcycle race. Qi Luo can not go to Japan because her mother won't allow her, but she cheers for him in her own way- by painting his portrait.
