[The First Frost]

[Adapted from the novel of the same name by Zhu Yi on www.jjwxc.net]

During the winter holiday,

first, stay safe.

Also, keep your emotions in check.

Don't just focus on having fun.

You're in your first year of high school now.

But before you know it, you'll be in the second year.

What's going to happen next?

Then, the third year will be here.

Are you going to spend three whole years

fighting for the college entrance exam

or just put in the last year's effort?

You can calculate it yourself.

The effort you put into your studies

will show

in the results on exam day.

I was pretty impressive when I was your age.

I started putting in the effort back in my first year.

If you listen, it's on you.

If not, it's on me.

Class is over!

Why do you

have so few textbooks?

I took most of them home

a few days ago.

Even just a few days ago, they were that few.

I started collecting them a few days ago.

I like to study like crazy at home.

You care so much about me?

Sang Yan, let's go play basketball!

Let's crush the guys from No. 2 High School!

I'm not going.

I'm heading home

and hitting the books.

Bro,

did you catch some terminal illness?

Or are you suddenly having a burst of energy

to study?

Whatever happens,

I'll give you a big hug.

Are you insane?

Get lost.

Where to?

To the court?

I'm leaving!

Sang Yan!

Sang Yan!

♪ Baby, I want to give my all to you ♪

♪ No more tears from now on... ♪

You're not studying properly anymore,

not even playing basketball,

just learning how to stalk people, huh?

I am...

I am going to take the bus.

I live in the same direction.

How come I've never seen you on the bus?

So, you've been

searching for me?

I just mean I don't remember.

Next time, look carefully.

Why should I look carefully?

So you won't miss out

the chance to go to school with me.

♪ I just want you to know... ♪

Where do you live?

What for?

Next time when I reach your stop,

I'll pay more attention.

♪ To catch you every time you feel vulnerable ♪

[Episode 5]
[Get Closer]

♪ To protect you ♪

♪ I love you ♪

[3068 days]

Sorry.

I didn't know what you all liked to eat.

So I didn't get anything for you.

I remember you don't like cilantro and garlic.

Thanks.

I don't like them either.

Sorry, I forgot.

Let me pick it out for you.

Xiang Lang,

you're like you're taking care

of two wives.

Dian, Qiao, and I

have been looking after each other

since kindergarten.

We've been used to it.

I often hear you guys call Wen Yifan "Dian".

Is it her nickname from kindergarten?

Actually, it's a funny story.

Back in kindergarten,

she used to write "Yi" in her name as four dots [Dians].

Put them together

and it becomes:

Wen "Dian Dian Dian Dian" Fan.

Wait, no.

It should be called Wen "Dian Dian Dian Dian Dian"

"Fan" also has one dot.

Thanks.

Done or not?

It's fine.

Look at them.

Look at their family of three.

Dian, here.

Now look at us two.

Fine.

Then I'll leave home.

Eat up.

Eating will shut you up.

After eating, we'll go to Overtime.

I reserved a private room for you.

It's a rotating turntable.

[Overtime]

Dian,

do you think living with Sang Yan would be miserable?

Why do you ask that?

He didn't even smile while eating just now.

He looked like someone owed him a fortune.

Really?

I feel like

he's pretty proud.

Isn't he always like this?

How about

you live at Xiang Lang's place instead?

What I mean is,

you swap places with Xiang Lang.

Let Xiang Lang live with Sang Yan.

I can do that.

Forget it, too much trouble.

They're here.

Let's stop talking about this.

Come on, everyone.

Try our new products.

Yu Zhuo, introduce to them.

This cup is for me.

It's called "Allergic to Work."

This cup is called "Paid to Slack off."

Thanks.

This cup is called

"Why Overcompetition?"

This cup is called

"Reject False Promises."

This cup is called...

Wait a minute.

Who came up with these names?

I did. How's that?

This cup for me is called...

"Better off Skipping the Work."

Let's play Truth or Dare.

What do you think?

Sure.

But do you know how to play?

Who do you think you're looking down on?

Come on.

I don't know how to play.

No worries,

We've got your back.

Xiang Lang, you're the guest. You go first.

Here,

Five sixs.

Eight sixs.

Ten.

Start.

Start?

This is just the first round

and you're already calling me out?

Let's wait and see.

Here,

Nine sixs.

Su Haoan, you're off to a bad start.

Truth or Dare?

This is a weird one.

Dare.

Take a look,

Choose someone here...

and kiss them.

You're not chickening out,

are you?

Who said I can't play?

I'll go all in.

Bro,

help me out!

Who else would I kiss if not you?

You've kissed Duan Jiaxu while playing games in college, haven't you?

Really?

You and Duan Jiaxu?

You know him, too?

You forgot I'm also from Nanwu University.

They're in the same department, same class,

even the same dorm.

They're both Computer Science majors.

Well done!

See? I'm brave enough to play.

Let's go. Next round.

Here,

Let's go...

Next round.

Six twos.

Six threes.

Seven threes.

Start.

Start?

You're calling it so soon,

Wen Yifan?

Truth or Dare?

Truth.

Then let me pick for you.

Tell us one good trait

about every man here.

Let's start with Su Haoan.

Rich.

What about Xiang Lang?

Smart, handsome,

and considerate.

I thought you were only supposed to say one?

What about Sang Yan?

Calm...

Quiet...

Confident...

Just confident.

Too confident.

Twelve sixs.

Dian,

don't be too eager...

Fifteen sixs.

You really dare to call it?

I dare. Do you dare to open it?

What's there to be afraid of?

Open it.

Five sixs.

You won!

Xiang Lang, I told you!

You fell for his trick.

Truth or Dare?

Truth.

Tell us one thing you regret the most.

The biggest regret?

It's probably studying abroad.

I was supposed to go to Yihe University

with Dian.

Why did you choose Yihe University?

I had already made plans with someone else.

Dian was supposed to go to Nanwu University with me.

Who knew she suddenly went to Yihe University.

I had already applied

for the best program at Yihe, Clinical Medicine,

but my parents insisted I go abroad.

Otherwise, from kindergarten to university,

we would have been classmates the whole time.

Real childhood sweethearts.

Let's continue.

Yes, let's continue.

Let's make this round more exciting.

We'll double the penalty for the loser,

both Truth and Dare.

What do you think?

Six threes.

Ten fours.

Ten fives!

Fifteen...

Twenty sixs.

Start.

I lost.

Yeah, you finally lost.

No regrets in my life.

Come on, Truth and Dare.

Let's do truth first.

The last city

you flew to?

What a boring question.

Who cares?

Yihe.

You paid for the bill, right?

Let's split it three ways.

The front desk said

Sang Yan already paid.

He did?

I thought Sang Yan only gave a 90% discount

and he was so stingy.

Looks like I wrongly accused him.

How about

we leave a five-star review for him?

We can't take advantage of him for free.

I'll take a call.

Hello, Ms. Qian?

Okay, I got it.

I'll take care of it right away.

I got an urgent task.

I need to go home and finish an article.

Let me give you a ride.

You'll get home faster.

Sure.

Take care.

I'll take a few pictures for him.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

Be careful on your way.

Okay. You take care, too.

Let's go.

Zhong Siqiao!

Why are you still here?

You already treated us.

Shouldn't I take some photos for you

and recommend it?

It's great.

Let me buy you another drink.

Wait a minute.

What's up?

Didn't we agree

we wouldn't drink together again?

Right.

You drink then.

You're the guest.

Or you drink.

You just had a breakup.

Let the alcohol cure your sorrow.

One drink's enough.

I can't keep using alcohol to drown my sorrows.

Let me ask you,

don't you feel like everyone's acting a little strange today?

Yeah, a little.

Let me ask you again,

why didn't Wen Yifan go to Nanwu University?

Her grades are so much higher.

I'm her good friend,

but I don't get it either.

I feel like she just wants

to keep her distance from everyone.

Even I haven't heard from her much.

I thought

when people grow up,

their feelings change.

I really hate this change.

Do you believe me?

Every time I date,

I hope the current one is the last.

But nowadays,

no one believes

that love should be timeless.

If you keep acting like this,

It'll put a lot of pressure on your partner.

What's wrong with wanting to spend a lifetime together?

Maybe you just haven't met the right person yet.

It's you who hasn't met the right person.

Why are you pulling me into this?

I'd rather not date

than settle for the wrong person.

You're still not going home?

What about them?

They've gone back.

I want to ask you something.

You still like Wen Yifan, right?

I just feel like you still have feelings for her.

That's why I tried to set you up to be roommates.

I've said this so many times.

We're roommates,

just roommates.

Enough.

I can tell,

you're not okay.

For example?

What's not okay?

The way you looked at Xiang Lang.

You didn't like

anything about him.

Weren't you jealous of him?

Are you insane?

Keep being stubborn.

I've seen you in this awful state before, after all.

The last time

was the day the college entrance results came out.

Do you still remember?

[Beiyu]

You've been quite busy lately, haven't you?

I've been unable to reach you.

What happened to you?

Nothing.

My phone broke.

Why are you here?

Earlier,

didn't we agree on this?

After the admission results come out,

I'd come to visit.

My results are in.

I got into Nanwu University,

Computer Science department.

Your grades are better than mine.

You'll easily get into the program you want...

Sang Yan,

I didn't apply to Nanwu University.

You're kidding, right?

No.

Then where did you apply?

Yihe University.

Why?

Why Yihe University?

I had already made plans with someone else.

You came back so late. Our parents will be concerned.

Do you want some jelly?

Haoan is already waiting for you.

Does Haoan want some jelly, too?

What about me?

Don't you want to say anything to me?

Well, I'll say it straight.

Sang Yan,

I really hate it

and I really dislike it

that you always come looking for me in Beiyu.

It's annoying

to come out to meet you every time.

Wen Yifan,

am I just your backup option?

Nanwu is closer to Beiyu.

So, I'll go somewhere farther away.

When I get to Yihe,

I hope you won't come looking for me

like this anymore.

You're back.

You didn't reply on WeChat

and didn't answer my calls.

Where have you been?

What are you doing here?

I got into Nanwu University.

Nanwu University!

What's your attitude about this?

Bro, think about it.

We can still be classmates!

You know how bad my grades were.

Getting into Nanwu University

will make my grandparents so happy!

You know what?

When you said you were going to Nanwu University,

I thought,

how good is Nanwu University?

Still playing games?

Dian.

Nothing.

You're still the same as before.

It seems nothing matters

to you,

and you're not interested

in anything.

I'm actually quite curious.

What exactly would it take

to get your attention?

It's not as exaggerated as you say.

Then tell me,

how's it been

since you returned to Nanwu?

Pretty good.

Always "pretty good."

Every time I ask, it's always "pretty good".

When I was abroad, you were just as half-hearted.

In our group of three,

only Qiao and I were talking.

You always just replied something

like "Okay," "Yeah," "Nice".

You never talk about your own stuff.

My life is pretty boring.

Even boring things can be talked about.

Our world is like this,

if we're happy, we laugh;

if we're sad, we cry.

You seem like someone from a completely different world.

Dian,

can you promise me one thing?

What is it?

In the future,

if you encounter

any difficulties,

tell me right away.

I don't want you

to always shut me out.

Okay.

Can you explain one thing?

You always wanted to go

to Nanwu University.

Why did you end up

quietly switching to Yihe University?

Don't you feel regretful?

You know it's a regret,

then why bring it up again?

Hey,

when are you two going to Nanwu University?

Didn't I tell you?

We're leaving tomorrow.

We did it!

- Shout it louder! - We did it!

We did it!

One, two, three!

I will definitely get into Nanwu University.

And I believe you will, too.

So let's make a promise

to work hard together

and get into Nanwu University.

I will definitely get into Nanwu University.

I'll take your basketball.

Why?

Why? Focus on studying!

Don't you want to get into Nanwu University?

Didn't we agree to report?

[Sang Yan: Not coming back. Lock the door. Wen Yifan: Okay.]

Miss Wen,

someone's looking for you.

She's waiting over there.

Jiang,

I thought you were still at Yihe.

How long have you been here?

Return the equipment first.

Okay.

Thank you.

I heard from Jia

that she saw you at the city hospital.

I saw your equipment bag

with the TV station logo on it.

So I came over to try my luck.

What do you need me for?

It's Little New Year today, right?

And Spring Festival is almost here.

How about spending New Year's Eve at my place?

Also, I want to introduce

someone to you.

I'm fine on my own.

You don't need to worry about me.

That's not what I meant.

You'll understand when you get here.

Jia also asked me to invite you.

Looks like you got approval from Zheng Kejia.

Um...

I was worried about

your bad mood.

I didn't want it to affect your emotions.

That's why

I first asked Jia.

I'll go to work now.

Jiang!

Are you...

are you still mad at me?

I know that all these years,

I've owed you too much.

How...

how can I make it up to you?

I've already forgiven you.

You had the right to choose your happiness.

I'm fine now.

So,

does that mean

you'll come home for New Year's Eve?

I'll think about it.

Please go back. It's so cold out.

Oh...

Hey...

When the time comes,

tell me what you want to eat,

Jiang.

Let me know when you're off for Spring Festival break!

Who is he?

Sang Yan. Can't you recognize him?

He's been sleeping for several days.

If he keeps this up,

he'll probably spend the Spring Festival here.

Dian,

I need to ask you.

Did you have an argument with Sang Yan?

No.

Then why has he been sleeping at the Overtime,

not going back home?

He's been sleeping at the Overtime?

Yes.

If Sang Yan bullies you,

you must let me know.

I won't let him off the hook.

You're overthinking.

Come here.

It's not that I think too much.

What's wrong?

It's just that you never tell me anything

about how you two get along.

We're not really getting along.

Actually, I think

we're more like

two strangers under one roof.

And we don't really talk much.

Dian, let's leave it at that.

Bye then.

[Lock the door]

Not coming back again?

[Okay]

Thanks for helping with the Overtime photoshoot.

No problem.

You can go back now.

No need to walk me out.

Do you always

walk every girl home?

You're a girl.

It's not safe to walk home alone at night.

You're a guy.

Be mindful of what you say.

Don't act all macho.

You don't need to walk me out.

My house is just up ahead.

Qiao,

where are you going?

Why aren't you coming home?

Is that your friend?

Yeah, friend!

Hello!

Auntie, who's that?

Is that your boyfriend?

Stop making things up!

So your house is around here?

Come in for tea!

Don't be shy. Come in!

Okay!

Stop looking.

You don't really want tea, do you?

Of course, I don't.

I just don't want them to overthink it.

That'll definitely make them think.

Well, I'm off now.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Stop staring.

Naughty ones.

[Dear Grandma]

Hey, Grandma.

Are you going home yet?

I miss you so much.

Haoan,

Do you have

a girlfriend

named...

Her name is Wang Linlin.

Really?

In a few days,

I want to meet her.

Ah?

[Happy New Year]

Alright.

Okay.

Don't worry.

I'll definitely alter your voice for the media.

Yes.

Your privacy will be completely protected.

Okay, thanks.

Yifan.

Yifan.

Let me show you something fun.

Look.

That interview with your classmate

[First place]
was featured in the news.

[Handsome, does your face have insurance?]
A netizen

[This guy is both handsome and miserable]
compiled a popular news collection.

He included this clip too.

Who knew that it became so popular.

This classmate of yours

made it to the top ten most popular figures online.

He even trended on social media.

[Happy]
With this clip of him,

[This handsome guy is so miserable, lost his house]
our year-end review should be fine.

It really matches what I said

that he was both amazing and miserable.

Now everyone calls him "Handsome and Miserable."

You didn't even blur his face out?

Won't it affect him?

No.

He signed a consent form.

Look at the comments,

everyone is praising how handsome he is.

I'll go tell Ms. Liu.

Ms. Liu!

[Jiang, how about I make these dishes for you during the holiday?]

[Preparing for a family reunion]

[Safe and Happy]

Is there anything you want to say now?

Happy... I'm really happy.

Happy...

I hope you can be as happy as I am.

Happy...

It's really interesting.

My sister and mom both like watching it.

They even sent this clip

to our big family group.

You scared me to death.

Why are you back?

I rented the apartment myself.

Wouldn't it be a waste not to stay here?

True.

But why didn't you turn on a light at home?

You're not going back for the holiday?

It depends on my mood.

Why are there so many things here?

Aren't those two shelves all mine?

Drinking coffee in the middle of the night?

You might not be able to sleep.

Where's my coffee?

I drank it.

It had already expired,

so I threw it away.

You can drink mine.

How much is it?

I'll transfer it to you.

No need.

If I'm not here,

help me deal with the stuff in the fridge.

It can't be stored long anyway.

I don't like wasting things.

Let's just say we bought it together.

How much was it?

Just treat it as me asking you for a favor.

Didn't we agree

that we'll split all the costs?

A favor?

What kind of favor?

Cleaning up the kitchen scraps?

[Let's calculate it. How much do I owe you?]

Twenty?

[You owe me.]

When?

Dian,

how do you plan to spend the Spring Festival?

I haven't decided yet.

How about you come to my place for the holiday?

Let's celebrate together.

Sure.

But I don't feel like running that far.

If you're spending the holiday alone,

won't it be boring?

I plan to sleep for three days and nights.

Make up for all the lost sleep

from all the overtime.

What about Sang Yan?

Is he going home for the holiday?

He'll definitely go home.

His family's local.

And he's not

on bad terms with his family.

Why suddenly bring up Sang Yan?

It's just that you never tell me anything

about how you two get along.

We're not really getting along.

Actually, I think

we're more like

two strangers under one roof.

And we don't really talk much.

[Episode 5]
[Get Closer, Would You?]

Six threes.

[The story is not over yet...]

Ten fours.

Ten fives.

Fifteen...

Twenty sixs.

What exactly are you shouting?

I've already self-destructed.

Just yell "open" and you win.

What's that look in your eyes?

Are you calling downward or opening?

Can't you see I've been helping you?

Open.

Totally can't tell.

Can't you just say it directly?

Without me,

you'd lose every round.

Open.

So does that mean...

Open.

You finally understood what I meant.

I lost.

Sang Yan, you finally lost.

No regrets in my life.

Come on, Truth and Dare.
