Yang Rui reflects on his life as a father, contrasting the idealized view of children with the reality of his boring daily routine. He feels trapped by the demands of parenting, which he likens to unpaid labor, and observes the strain it puts on his relationships with his three girlfriends—Scarlett, Si Tan Na, and Nina.
