[Connecting to You]

Are you feeling better?

Much better.

You know, there's a legend

that if two people look into
each other's eyes for eight seconds,

they'll change the way
they see each other.

How will it change?

Right now, you look like

a monkey that just got out of

a hot spring.

What? That's a personal attack!

Is it funny?

Is it funny?

Is it funny?

Is it funny?

I thought you weren't feeling well.

Why are you still so energetic?

Let me hold it for you.

Put your hand down.

Is it still swollen?

[The Fifth Thread]

[The Mere Exposure Effect:
Familiarity Can Really Breed Affection]

[Police]

Household Registration Office?

You and me?

My cousin is getting a divorce,

and she needs two witnesses to sign.

But I don't know your cousin.
Isn't that a bit weird?

She doesn't want our relatives to know.

She only told me

and asked me to find another person.
Please!

-Just consider it a good deed.
-Fine, I'll help you.

Lin Jiakai.

Weren't you supposed to
deliver the document?

Why is it still here?

Sorry.

I'll deliver it right away.

Hey, wait a minute!

Is your shirt the same as Dawei's?

Dawei, the pocket design
and this thread...

Senior, he saw how good I looked in it,

so he bought the same one.

Yes, it looked good,

so I...

copied his style.

It looks exactly the same.

-But this stain... Dawei, didn't you...
-Senior, the car accident mediation...

Oh, right, I forgot.

Remember to deliver it for me. Thank you.

It's okay if you wear it at home,
but why wear it to work?

I forgot to do the laundry,

so I just grabbed one.

How could I know Zhiling would notice
such a weird detail?

Don't ever wear my clothes to work again,

understand?

Okay, I won't do it again.

Then go.

So?

How do we decide?

Rock-paper-scissors.

The loser washes the dishes for a week.
It's a deal.

No backing out.

You're the one
who's more likely to back out.

Should we add doing the laundry?

Okay.

Yes!

Jiakai, help me.

What are you doing here?

What happened to your threads?

I'm getting married.

Are you going to tell us or not?

Or are you here just for the free drinks?

I'm really anxious!

Can't I at least have some free drinks?

Of course you can,

but please tell us what happened.

At the end of the semester,
Yujing held a mixer,

and she invited me.

At the mixer,

I met a senior.

She's beautiful and elegant,

and she's got a very cute name,

Liang Chuqing.

She was given that name

because it rained for an entire month

before she was born,

but on the day she was born,

the sky cleared up.

So,

her father

named her

Chuqing [clear sky after the rain].

Here's what happened.

We dated for three weeks,

and one night,

as I watched her walk away,

I suddenly felt

that I couldn't leave her.

So, I proposed to her.

And that's when everything
started to change.

Chaonan.

Eat the cake.

What are you doing?

Aren't you going to eat?

No, thanks.

Have a bite.

Come on, try it.

-Let me feed you.
-No, no, no!

Don't eat me! No!

No, no!

-Don't eat me!
-Chaonan!

-Chaonan!
-Chaonan! Chaonan!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You only dated her for three weeks,

-and you proposed.
-I'm fine.

You must've freaked her out.

But she said yes.

She said yes?

Well,

we should congratulate you, shouldn't we?

What's the problem?

It's a big problem.

Ever since she accepted my proposal,

she's turned into a control freak.

Look.

Wedding photos, pre-marital health check,

job interview...

Job interview?

What does that have to do
with your marriage?

Her dad works in a foreign company,

and he told us to work there
after we get married.

The salary is good.

She said the salary

is enough for us

to raise ten kids!

Am I a breeding machine to her?

Ten kids are just too many
even for a breeding machine!

Since you can't reach a consensus,

why not just break up?

Her dad is a retired Sea Dragon Frogman.

She said if I back out,

her dad will break my legs!

-It's not just a dead knot.
-How could this happen?

You're completely tied down by her.

Please!

Please let me stay.

I need to hide from her for a while.

Oh, no.

I need to hide for a lifetime! Please!

He said he was too anxious to sleep,

and look at him now.

Looks awesome, right?

Not bad.

Why are you still wearing my shirt?

Just let me wear it for today.

I'll wash it for you.

No.

Change it later.

Why are you so cruel?

If you don't let me wear it,

you can't eat the noodles I cooked.

I'm going to eat them,
and you'll return it.

No!

Will you let me wear it or not?

No!

Give it back!

Give it back! I want to eat noodles!

I want to eat noodles!

[Moon Street Coffee]

Wait a moment there for your meal.

What would you like to order?

Is it you?

Who are you?

Are you the one
who was against me marrying Chaonan?

Who is she?

Why is she wearing a wedding dress?

Why did you say Chaonan would face
a fatal disaster if he marries me?

I never said that.

I said "a dead knot."

It means his threads
will be tied into a dead knot

after marriage.

It doesn't mean
he'll face a fatal disaster

and die.

Chaonan probably
didn't explain it clearly.

He'll be fine.

If you want to get married, just do it.

Don't worry.

Then...

Do you know where he is now?

We were supposed to
take wedding photos today,

but he didn't show up,

and I can't contact him.

I'm a bit worried.

I'll call him.

Perhaps he overslept.

Okay.

[Chaonan] [If anyone asks where I am,]

[Chaonan] [don't tell them,]

[Chaonan] [or I'll k*ll you!]

He didn't answer my call.

Just wait a bit longer.

Scold him when he shows up.

I won't scold him.

I just want to know

if he's safe.

Do you really want to marry

that childish Chaonan?

Can I ask why?

If I tell you,

will you help me find him?

Of course.

Honestly, Chaonan

is really sincere, and he treats me well.

One time we went for Italian food,

and I ordered squid ink pasta
just to see his reaction.

My mouth was full of ink,

but he still looked at me affectionately.

When he saw it got on my clothes,

he wiped it for me carefully.

At that moment,

I felt he was

really kind

and gentle.

So,

when he proposed to me,

I was moved.

So, I accidentally helped him?

Alright.

I think I need to cancel today's sh**t.

If

you see him,

please tell him to contact me.

Chaonan.

How do you know I'm here?

Did you forget
you have a bunch of threads on your head?

[Psychic Club]

Oh, pretty impressive.

Are you coming in?

[Open]

Why are you here?

How could you bail on her like that?

Lin Jiakai!

Take this.

Thanks.

[Open]

[Psychic Club]

Hurry up and change your clothes.

Come on!

You have no idea how much time I spent
picking this out for you.

And did you reply to me
about the time we have dinner with my dad?

I did.

Good.

Is this Chuqing,

[Liang Chuqing]

Chaonan's fiancée?

Why are you checking her photos?

I'm just a bit worried.

A bit concerned.

Worried about what?

Worried about your friend's life
after getting married?

He made a hasty proposal
without thinking it through,

so he must face the consequences.

And it's not wrong for her to make plans

for their marriage.

Why do you always
make other people's problems

your own?

Are you that desperate to prove

that your third eye can help others?

What if you don't help?

Lin Jiakai!

What beautiful girl are you looking at?
You're so into it.

You freaked me out!

What?

This is ridiculous!

Why would a beauty like Chuqing

marry an idiot who can't even graduate?

I really shouldn't have invited Chaonan
to the mixer!

He'll ruin her life!

Are you close with Chuqing?

When I was working part-time
at the publishing house,

she was an editor there.

She was super nice
and really gentle to me.

Let me ask you something.

Who's this?

Her ex-boyfriend.

I think they broke up last year.

What's wrong?

There's a very rough purple thread

between Chuqing and her ex.

[Purple Thread, Rival in Love]

Usually, this kind of thread
appears between rivals,

because they're extremely jealous.

And Chuqing has two purple threads.

I don't know what it means.

Could this have something to do with

that penultimate girlfriend curse of hers?

What curse?

Chuqing has two ex-boyfriends.

The one you just saw lasted five years.
It was pretty long.

The other one lasted seven years.

And they both felt

that Chuqing wasn't eager to get married.

She seemed to be avoiding it.

But I think

she wasn't against it.

And her career is just taking off.

So, in the end,

they both broke up with her
because they thought

Chuqing didn't love them enough.

And they got married soon
with someone new.

So, you're saying

it was her two ex-boyfriends

who made her desperate to get married now.

You proposed to her
without knowing her situation,

and you ran away.

Childish!

Scumbag!

You don't deserve
to have this chicken leg.

Give it to me.

That's right.

I don't deserve it.

Here.

[Household Registration Service]
[Activity Center]

Thanks.

My cousin said she'll treat you to a meal
next time. You have to come.

No need.

It's a brand new experience

to be a divorce witness.

Then I'm leaving.

Bye.

Bye.

What's wrong?

These days,

I've calmed down

and thought about it.

I think I'm too young.

No, don't get me wrong!

I mean,

I don't think

I'm capable enough to take care of you
for the rest of your life.

You don't really want to marry me, do you?

It's not that I don't want to.

How about we slow down

and start as friends?

What kind of friends?

I'm sorry!

Don't hit him!

Miss, sorry!

Although he looks a bit creepy,

he's my friend.

Did he harass you?

Who are you?

Isn't she the girl
who wore a wedding dress last time?

Yes.

She came to see you last time,
and now she's with another guy.

Who is she going to marry?

You're so gossipy.

I'm just asking. What's the big deal?

Why did you tell Chaonan to leave first?

Let me share something with you.

I just served as a witness
for a couple's divorce.

She's older than him,

just like you and Chaonan.

Maybe Chaonan is a good guy,

but I don't think he's ready for marriage.

Maybe you two should wait a few years

before getting married.

I'm already 30.

So what?

You're a great girl.
Whether you get married or not,

it won't affect your value

and your charm.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't know you.
I shouldn't judge you like this.

It's okay.

You didn't offend me.

I just wish

my two ex-boyfriends

had talked to me this way.

I'll clean the table for you.

No wonder my dad kept telling me

to date a soldier or a police officer.

He said people like them are more honest.

I guess it's true.

Please tell him I appreciate it.

Actually, many of them are also dishonest.

Maybe...

I should just give up on Chaonan

and marry you instead.

Just kidding.

I need to go to the restroom.

Okay.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Sorry.

Be careful.

Okay.

Sorry.

This is Two-Minute Love Live Stream.

[Two-Minute Love Live Stream]

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

[Peggy Talks Love Psychology]

Hello, everyone.

I'm Ms. Peggy.

Today,

I'm going to talk about

the mere exposure effect.

Mere exposure effect,

also known as the familiarity principle,

means that

when something constantly appears

in front of you,

you will develop a preference for it.

For example...

Be honest with me.
You all love drinking, don't you?

When you choose wine,

you usually go for

brands you are familiar with, right?

[What's Familiar Feels Right]

Perhaps the ones that advertise a lot.

And you might ignore

those unfamiliar brands.

This also applies to our relationships.

For example, I've received
a lot of questions like this:

"Ms. Peggy, I've had a crush on someone
for a long time,

but he hasn't noticed me at all.

What should I do

to make him like me?"

And for the easiest things to do,

I would say,

"Look,

[Cool]

just show up around him
every now and then."

For example, when handing in exam papers,

[Exam Paper]

you can walk by his seat on purpose.

And when

the moment feels right,

give him

a perfect encounter.

Then you'll be very likely to get him.

Let me check the comments.

"I just broke up with
my boyfriend of nine years

a month ago.

I miss him so much.

Should I ask him to get back together?

If I often appear in front of him,

can I make him

like me again?"

I suggest you put aside
your feelings for him first.

During this time,

calm down

and love yourself.

Once you've found some strength

while learning to love yourself,

look back and ask yourself

if this guy is really worth

all the longing and hard feelings,

okay?

Now, everyone,

let's cheer for

this person.

We all love you.

Let me give you a hug.

Bye.
