Loui is haunted by Wayn's insults and goes to eat and drink his feelings for dinner that night.

"Boss! Five beers, twenty meat skewers, five beef tendons, and three grilled fish." - Loui.

"-Alright!"

Beer and skewers have been served. Loui start drinking.

Gavin meets Loui at his dining table and joins him.

"Can one person eat that much?" - Gavin.

"Boss, bring another glass." - Loui.

"-Alright."

"Okay." - Gavin.

"This servant is lucky today." - Gavin.

"If you want to keep spouting nonsense, go eat somewhere else." - Loui

Gavin sat down look at Loui and see him overdrinking and try to stop him.

"Don't drink like that. It's hard on your stomach." - Gavin

Loui refuse and push his hands 

"Give it to me." -Loui

Drinking heavily, at the same time took a bite of the skewer Gavin is just looking at him and had enough and join him, Gavin grabs the skewer that Loui took a bite, and he had a bite as well.

"There's so much to eat, why did you steal mine?" -Loui.

"It makes me happy." - Gavin.

Loui just look at him with disbelieve and just took another sip of this beer, Gavin initiates to join him drinking.

"Here, I'll drink with you." - Gavin.

The two of them talk about their mothers and how Luo Yin hasn't been getting enough sleep since he broke up with his ex-girlfriend.

"Actually, my mom isn't that kind of person." - Loui.

"She never took care of me growing up, but she's never done that kind of stuff." - Loui

"She looks down on my dad." -Loui

"She was being practical, seeking a life of pleasure." - Loui

"You're lucky you can still see your mom." -Gavin

"My mom's not around anymore." - Gavin.

"I know how you feel." - Gavin.

"Have you ever seen me tease anyone besides you?" - Gavin.

"You found everything out early on." -Loui

"I knew a bit." -Gavin.

"So, you kept coming after me, making me so nervous, then expect me to comfort you?" -Loui.

"I wasn't going after you. I was being affectionate."-Gavin.

"Affection is showing I love you in a special way." -Gavin.

"Don't take advantage of my patience." -Loui

"I actually had a girlfriend before. She was really pretty." -Loui. 

"Her family was loaded, too. But we broke up." -Loui.

"I haven't been able to sleep recently." -Loui.

"The whole thing's driving me crazy." -Loui

"I'll tell you. I'm pissed." -Loui

"Don't be. It's good you broke up." -Gavin

After dinner, Loui gets too drunk to go home himself.

"I'm good. Watch how I can walk a straight line." -Loui.

Gavin carries him on his back to drop him off.

"Don't help me." -Loui.

"I'm not drunk." -Loui

"You're sleepy, right?" -Gavin.

"Sleep a bit. We're almost home." -Gavin.

"Sleep? Who are you telling to sleep?" -Loui

"Do you plan to cut my clothes again, bastard?" -Loui.

"You think I won't throw you in a ditch?" -Gavin.

Loui started crying calling out his parents.

"Mom, Dad." -Loui.

Gavin arrived at Loui's house and drop off Loui to give him to his father.

"Uncle." -Gavin.

"You're finally here."

"I didn't dare tell his grandmother about this."

"Come on inside for a bit."

"I should be going." -Gavin.

"This is his uniform." -Gavin.

"It's so cold, you wear it home." 

"I'm fine. It's getting cold. Put some more clothes on him. Here." -Gavin.

"Well, thanks."

"No problem. He was in a bad mood today." - Gavin.

"He drank quite a bit. He should be fine by tomorrow morning." -Gavin.

"Loui" 

"Bye, Uncle." -Gavin.

"Yeah, take care."

As Gavin leaves the Loui's residence, Loui's Dad comments on how two parents could raise such a good son like Gavin.

"What kind of parent could raise such a good kid?" 

"Come on. I'll carry you inside. Careful."

When Gavin returns to his home, he finds his father waiting there for him on his couch.

"Dad." -Gavin.

Theodore orders his son to return home and that he and his stepbrother will be attending Gavin's old school the next day.

"You're back. I packed your things for you."

"Come back with me tonight, and I won't ask you getting into a fight."

"Oh, right. Tomorrow, I'll send someone to your school to take care of your transfer."

"You'll go back to your old school."

"Jia's son will also move in. You'll go to the same school."

"You must get along."

"You have to accept your brother."

Gavin refuses to comply, saying how he will not be in anyplace with his new family.

"Don't expect me to go back. It's hopeless." -Gavin.

"You think I'm asking you?"

"You're coming back no matter what."

"That's an order."

"You're not my commander. You can't order me around." -Gavin.

"Even if you kill me, I'm not going back." - Gavin.

"Brother? What brother?" -Gavin.

"I'll just say this: as long as they're there, don't expect me to come back." -Gavin.

Theodore is infuriated, goes to beat on Gavin.

"What are you saying?"

"What are you saying?!"

"Say it again!"

(Only to be stopped by the family driver), and threatens to cut off Gavin's expenses.

"Commander!"

"Young master is really this way."

"There's no use in beating him."

"Enough. Your anger has also been released. Please leave. -Gavin.

"I'm going to wash up and sleep. Tomorrow, I'll go to school." -Gavin.

"You think I owe you anything?"

"If it weren't for me, could you live in such big apartment?"

"Let me tell you something... If I cut off your allowance, you'll come back within a month."

"In that case, what are you trying to prove?" -Gavin.

"Cut me off right now. See if I come back to you after a month." -Gavin

"You really think I won't do it?"

"You will. I never thought there was something you wouldn't do." -Gavin.

"You brat."

"Commander."

"I don't have you as a son."
