Chow invites Su to help him write a martial arts serial for the papers. The increased time that they spend together draws the attention of their neighbors. Chow rents a hotel room away from the apartment where he and Su can work together without attracting attention. The relationship between Chow and Su is platonic, but as time passes, however, they acknowledge that they have developed feelings for each other. When Chow takes a job in Singapore, he asks Su to go with him. She decides to do so but arrives too late at the hotel to accompany him.
