Episode synopsis
The illness of YUI persists and he has to stay home for rest. However, YUI is longing to go for the cricket competition. He makes an excuse to beg CHI to release him; hence, CHI agrees YUI to go out with SAU at last. Afterwards, YUI escapes and rushes to the competition. Unfortunately, he crashes with MEI and loses the cricket. When he finds the XX, he feels so sick and faints already. MEI feels pity for him and carries him home. The illness of YUI becomes more serious; hence, YAN KEI suggests that YUI should find a concubine and organizes a celebration. Accordingly to the Chinese old tradition, illness can be driven away by celebration of happiness. Though LO holds a different attitude, she cannot hardly overrule.
