[Connecting to You]

Five,

four,

three,

two,

one.

I'm done.

Are you still there?

Yes.

When you came back,

did you have something to say to me?

I just wanted to thank you

for always being so good to me.

You're not going to throw up, are you?

[The Ninth Thread]

[Conditioning: Habits Are Hard to Break]

What would you like to eat?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Babe, you're so cute.

Stop it!

Love you.

Love you, too.

Youth is great.

Hi, Dawei.

You're here to buy food, too?

The owner just said
the chicken leg rice is sold out.

It's okay. I can have
the fish fillet today.

Did you...

have a meal with Keke yesterday?

How did you know?

She posted a photo of you two.

I didn't know you saw it.

Don't you think it's...

a bit inappropriate?

Which part?

It's just that...

you had a date with someone,

and then we...

Well...

Like...

Is that appropriate?

Do you remember what happened last night?

Last night?

Yes.

I only remember

I got drunk and went home.

I don't remember anything else.

You don't remember?

No.

I still don't get it.

Why would things be awkward
between you and Wu Dawei?

What?

Did you have a fight?

It's more complicated.

What could be more complicated?

It's just that some things happened,

and I don't quite understand.

It's weird, isn't it?

Why would you ask me?

What things could I understand

better than you?

Got it.

Just touch his thread

like you did last time.

Then you'll understand everything.

But things only got more complicated

after I touched his thread.

It's so strange.

Aren't you proud of
how much you can drink?

How did you get drunk last time?

You get drunk
when you have things on your mind.

Actually, I wasn't...

It doesn't matter!

Hello?

Keke,

what's wrong?

Hi, I got the tickets.

Let's discuss our plans

for the special screening.

I remember you said
the movie starts around 5 p.m., right?

Yes.

But I'm thinking

maybe we can grab lunch together

and walk around the shopping mall
near the cinema

before going to see the movie.
What do you think?

Just the two of us?

Is it inconvenient for you?

No.

No problem.

Okay, see you then.

[Psychology Department Lab]

Come on!

Want to be the good person, huh?

You're playing hard to get every day.

[Psychology Department Lab]

Listen,

in the end,

you'll be the only one getting hurt!

[Psychology Department Lab]

Ms. Chen Rongmei.

Ms. Chen,

as your daughter,

I must warn you.

This is your own problem.

Don't shift the blame to others, okay?

Keke.

Here are two hot Americanos,

and I also got a cake for you.

You can eat it when watching the movie
with your friend.

Thanks for the treat.

It's nothing.

I'll go with you to get your scooter.

Okay.

Are you sure you won't regret it?

There's still an hour
before the special screening.

I can tell my friend not to come out.

I won't.

Just watch it with your friend.

Fine.

I figured

you probably have someone you like,

so it makes sense you can't
watch the movie with me.

Someone I like?

Really?

Isn't it Wu Dawei from the police station?

You often mention him when we talk,

and you get distracted by his messages.

Anyway,

I think he must be

someone special to you.

I'm not sure.

I don't know

if I have the right
to be in a relationship.

What right do you need?

Besides,

you won't know until you try.

Is that so?

Thanks.

And I'm sorry.

Hey, don't apologize!

Well, if you want to make up
for the movie...

You'll be the first person I call

next time my scooter won't start.

No problem.

I can fix it as many times as you want.

If you want to have coffee,

you can come, and it's on me.

Okay, thanks.

You don't need to walk with me.

I can go there by myself.

Bye.

Bye.

It's late. Why hasn't he come back?

The movie should've ended a long time ago.

What's going on?

Where did you go?

I just got off the bus.

I'm almost at my grandma's place.
What's wrong?

Why didn't you tell me
you were going back?

I was going to ask you
to play games together.

I told you last time

that I'd go back to my hometown
for a few days during this long weekend.

You weren't listening at all.

When are you coming back?

I don't know.

I might stay for a few more days.

It depends on my mood.

Dawei

probably doesn't want to see me anyway.

Really?

Alright, that's it.

[Great City Life Bus, Siaogang Station]

Bye.

Grandma,

I'm back!

You're back just in time.

I just got back from the market.

I also bought your favorite
grouper porridge and egg rolls.

I'll go to the farmers' association
and share these with them tomorrow.

Why do you look so thin now?

Really?

Have you been eating regularly
and getting enough sleep?

I have.

I've been working a lot of shifts lately,

so I probably look a bit tired.

I haven't retired, and I have money.

Why are you working so many shifts?

I'm fine.

I'm more worried about you, Grandma.

You need more rest at this age.

Do you know what we're going to do
in a few days?

I do.

That's why I came back.

How time flies.

Jiakai will graduate from college
next year.

His grades have always been good.

He's a good kid.

The neighbors all say

you raised a great son.

You can rest assured.

Mom, Dad,

I miss you so much.

Lai?

Why are you still lingering around here?

What do you mean?
I've been working overtime for five days.

Alright, thanks for your hard work.

I really can't take it.

I'm going to buy food.

Laotao Beef Noodles, do you want some?

Count me in.

Okay, one for you. Dawei, how about you?

Sure, I want
the half-tendon, half-beef noodles.

Two bowls!

One for Jiakai.

Jiakai isn't here.

Just one?

Oh, okay.

He's only been back south for one day,

and you already miss him that much?

I don't know
what you're talking about, Senior.

I've been in a long-distance relationship
for two years.

Do you want some advice?

Is this a trap?

Oh, so you know.

Jump in.

Jump, jump, jump!

Jump, jump!

-Jump in with me!
-Senior, you're freaking me out.

Jump, just jump with me!

I'm so sorry!

I just saw your call.

You also sent a message, right?

It's okay.

Have you been busy?

We went to the cemetery this morning.

After that, Grandma kept
ordering me around to do chores.

She asked me to sweep the floor,

fix the bike, clean the toilet...

Anyway,

she's got a ton of things for me to do.

Sounds like your trip home

is busier than working three jobs here.

Yes, Grandma is a master
at bossing people around.

So...

Why did you call?

Dawei, about that last case...

Are you talking about business?

Yes.

I'm looking for someone to fix the pipes.

Fix the pipes?

What pipes?

Do I have to fix the pipes now?

Hello? Dawei?

Can you hear me?

Hello?

I was just talking to someone else.

So, how long do you plan
to stay in your hometown?

Maybe another four or five days.

There's a farmers' association market
this weekend,

and I'll help Grandma set up her stall.

She's going to sell homemade jam.

That long?

What did you say?

Nothing.

I need to get back to work.

Okay, go ahead.

Okay, good luck.

Bye.

Thanks for your hard work.

Getting off work?

What's wrong?

Well, can you do me a favor?

Grandma, where should I put these?

Just arrange them unevenly.

I want customers to see

how bright and fresh they are,

and they'll think
our products are delicious.

Grandma, long time no see!

Hello!

Why do you have a cute

little helper today?

Your boyfriend?

No, he's my grandson.

Hello, miss.

Grandma, Earl Grey apple tea?
I didn't see this last time.

Oh, this one?

Yes.

Then you have to buy it today.

Okay, I'll take it this time.

Actually, I'm here to buy
the Golden Banana Rice,

but I don't see any.

Get it from the car.

-Hurry up!
-Okay, wait a minute.

Thank you so much.

Delicious, right?

Let me help you.

Why are you here?

To see you.

Surprise!

Jiang Chaonan?

Why are you also here?

My parents are still mad at me

because I almost married Liang Chuqing,

and they took my car.

That's why I hired a taxi driver.

I don't like taking public transportation.

There are infectious diseases.

Who's a taxi driver?

You're the valet, okay?

Take it.

Any problem?

So, he borrowed your car,

but why do you get to come too?

I have no shift this weekend,

so I came with Chaonan to see you.

What?

You don't want to see me?

-It's not like that!
-Jiakai!

What's taking you so long?

Our customer is waiting!

Coming! Coming, Grandma!

Can you help me?

Of course.

Come on. One, two, three.

Let's go. You lead the way.

Hello, ma'am.

This Grandma's Handmade Jam
is really good.

And if you buy it now...

Whiskey citrus?

That's quite special.

Yes.

Then I'll take one jar of apple,

and one jar of whiskey citrus.

Okay. Thanks.

Young man, you're so handsome.

How old are you?

What do you do for a living?

I'm 26 years old. I'm a police officer.

That's great!

My relative's daughter

is also 26 years old.

How about I introduce you to each other?

No need. Thanks.

It's no trouble at all.

Look,

let's add each other on Line,

and I'll give you her contact info.

Come on.

Come on, add me.

Auntie,

sorry.

He forgot to bring his phone.

Yes, I left it at home. Sorry.

What a pity.

How much is this?



Okay.

Here.

Thanks.

-Okay, bye.
-Bye.

Can you help me put it in the basket?

Okay.

Come on.

-Have some fruit and drinks.
-Let's take a break.

I'll buy some bentos later.

Grandma,

I ate too much fresh-cut fruit yesterday,

and my stomach is a bit upset.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Save some for me.

Don't think about eating

before you even go to the bathroom.

That's gross!

Chaonan is sloppy

when it comes to work,

but he's serious about eating and pooping.

I'm sorry.

You drove all the way here to have fun

but ended up helping out at my stall.

Grandma,

I'm glad I could help.

You helped a lot.

We've almost sold everything.

Jiakai,

you can hang out
with your friends this afternoon.

What about you, Grandma?

If you're worried,

one of you can stay to help me.

Okay.

You're so ridiculous!

How could you sneak away
while I was in the bathroom?

Didn't Grandma say you're the best helper,

and she wanted you to stay the most?

Yeah, right.

You ditched me on purpose.
Don't try to deny it.

Fine.

I left extra food for you.
Eat as much as you want.

Okay? That's it, bye.

Didn't you buy a new backpack?

Why didn't you change it?

Because after I bought that new bag,

I found it didn't have enough space.

The one you bought seems more suitable.

It's in the back.

Take it.

Have you been carrying it all along?

Is this for me?

What do you think?

Little boy,

do you know you violated
the Social Order Maintenance Act

and the Waste Disposal Act?

What did he do?

He exposed himself in public and...

urinated everywhere!

It ran dry.

Stop it!

You evil pineapple!

What pineapple?

Let me take a picture of you.

Okay.

Three, two,

one.

I can't remember the last time I went out

and had fun like this during a holiday.

You sound like a seasoned soul.

Where's all your youthful energy?

The day Heart‑Stealing Phantom Thief
hits cinemas,

I'll drag you to see it,

so you can feel the passion!

The movie version?

Didn't you see it with Keke?

We didn't go in the end.

Why?

I gave my ticket to a bigger fan.

Forget about it.

Do you want to see it with me or not?

Sure.

Let's see it together.

Then I'll buy the tickets.

Okay, no problem.

Is it Chaonan again?

No.

It's the landlord.

He said the renovation is going smoothly,

and we should be able to
move back in two weeks.

Why do you have to move?

[Peggy Talks Love Psychology]

This is Two-Minute Love Live Stream.

[Two-Minute Love Live Stream]

It's fleeting, so don't miss it.

I'm Ms. Peggy.

Today,

I'm going to

talk about

conditioning,

because it often occurs

in our daily lives.

So, what is it?

There are two types of conditioning.

The first type

is called

classical conditioning,

such as

the reaction an animal has
to a specific stimulus.

The most classic example is that

when a bell rings,

a dog hears it and thinks,

"It's time to eat."

Then it'll start salivating.

The second type

is called

operant conditioning.

It means

when our voluntary behaviors

result in a reward or punishment,

[Reward or Punishment]

[These Stimuli Will Change]

these stimuli will change

or even control our behaviors.

[Or Control Our Behaviors]

For example,

do you play mobile games?

If you log in consecutively
for a few days,

you can get

a lot of gems or coins.

This is a kind of

operant conditioning.

In romantic relationships,

we often see this happening.

You receive someone's calls or messages

at the same time every day.

But one day,

there are no messages coming,

so you start to feel

that something's wrong.

Or perhaps,

you go on a date

with someone

every single weekend.

Suddenly, it gets canceled,

and you'll really look forward to

the next date.

At this time, you are

being conditioned.

A roommate you've lived with for a while

suddenly goes back south for a few days,

and I suddenly feel so bored.

Am I being conditioned?

Isn't it obvious?

If you're

someone

who isn't afraid of loneliness

and

enjoys being alone,

and when this roommate is away,

you feel a bit uncomfortable,

maybe

you're being conditioned.

Just enjoy the process

and love.

Bye.
