After the shock of the diagnosis wears off, Li Li reconciles herself to her mortality, and decides to travel to make the best of whatever life she has left.

Li Li had written to Zhao but never got a reply. She waited two years and eventually married another man. She brings Zhao up to date about her unfortunate condition and wonders why he never responded. Zhao is shocked. He never received any news from her and assumed that she was had lost interest in him. Li Li is deeply affected by this revelation.
