The brothers start to act like normal boys and Adeline even becomes close to Third Brother. One of Adeline’s compositions wins an award in the Shanghai Newspaper Association and to congratulate her, the brothers mix her a glass or orange juice. Though she is suspicious at first, Third Brother reassures her that it’s safe. When she goes to drink from it, she is hit by a “wall of urine” (69), which the boys had mixed in with the concentrate. Though the betrayal doesn’t shock her, she is saddened by the way that “straddling the fence” (69) is chipping away at Third Brother’s integrity. Later that week, the mischievous Chun-mei fools Adeline again: she convinces her school friends to bite into unripe persimmons.
