[Connecting to You]

When I first met Chaonan...

To be honest,

I'm usually the one who scares people.

It's rare for someone to scare me
like Yujing did.

God, I really think he's insane.

How can anyone love so genuinely?

Among all my friends,

there's no one else like her.

She's kind of like

a female version of me.

It feels like fate is telling me that

on this difficult journey of love,
I'm destined to meet

-someone braver than me.
-It's good. A girl like her...

Or maybe

-someone more miserable than you.
-is quite interesting.

Let me ask you something.

I just saw some images.

Oh my god, that's so creepy!

This is mind reading, right?

Am I right?

Yes, you are.

But you can't tell anyone!

Why so nervous?
No one wants to know anyway.

So, with a single touch of our threads,

you can actually find out
what we're thinking?

I don't think it's really mind reading.

It's more like being able to see
the true thoughts

two connected people have
about their relationship.

That's amazing.

Now that the Psychic Club's service
has upgraded,

you should consider raising the price.

Absolutely not.

The 300-TWD price was set
with the gods' approval.

If we raise the price recklessly,

we'll be punished.

By the way,

are Wu Dawei's secrets dark and scheming?

Don't come any closer,

you pervert.

After all this time,

you still don't trust me?

You know his secrets.

Right? Tell me.

It's his privacy. Can you stop asking?

Well, when I mentioned him,

you looked so nervous.

I wasn't nervous.

Come on, tell me,
is Wu Dawei's secret really dark?

If you ask again,

I'll tell others about your secrets.

No, when I said that...

Listen, do you know...

Fine, don't tell her!

You win.

You win.

I won't say anything.

[The Seventh Thread]

[Self-Deprecation]

Dawei.

[If the Ending Is Uncertain,
Should We Even Start?]

Has he left?

That's a lot.

[Dawei]
[I left breakfast on the table for you.]

[Police]

Not bad. I have to say,

everyone in our team is good-looking.

-What about the chief?
-The chief is

a good-looking Doraemon.

I'm going to tell him.

Don't!

Let's take this chance
to change the fan page cover.

Everyone is here.

-Okay.
-There are other slogans.

-Xu, Pang, Senior.
-Pang.

-Zheng, hurry up.
-Hurry up!

-One for each person. No changing.
-Come on, pick one.

Come on, don't be shy.

-Pick what you like.
-One for each person.

Come on.

But I'm not a police officer.

You rushed into the scene
to save our teammate.

You're already one of us. Come on.

Lin Jiakai, don't waste time!

Lin Jiakai, hurry up!

Come on. Hey, someone's
holding it upside down!

Who?

-Come on. Hey, it's upside down!
-There's something here.

-Let's take the photos.
-Okay.

-Come on. Three, two, one.
-Cheese!

-Cheese!
-Three, two, one.

-Three, two, one!
-Cheese!

-Okay, okay.
-How is it?

It's good. Look.

No, my eyes are closed!

You always look like that.

Jiakai!

Jiakai, your teeth!

Did you just eat seaweed?

Is it obvious?

Pretty obvious.

-Dawei, help him pick it out.
-Here.

[Didn't want to work. Flew to Okinawa.]

[Let yourself in
and help me water my plants.]

She's such a rocker,
doing whatever she wants.

[Psychology Department Lab]

[Psychology Department Lab]

Rainbow card...

Feelings and illusions are sometimes
separated by only a fine line—

things may not be as you think.

Not as I think?

Then what is it?

You're not going to sleep?

It's okay. I'll just go back to my room.

-Be careful!
-I'm fine.

Good night.

I'm off.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Don't be late tomorrow.

I've restocked the coffee beans.

Okay.

Want some late-night snacks?

Lai said this fried chicken is really good.

Smell it.

It smells really good.

Yes, his recommendations never go wrong.

Why are you picking out the basil?

You don't like it, do you?

I told the boss not to add it,

but he still forgot.

You don't have to pick it out for me.

I can do it myself.

I'm almost done.

Thanks.

Are you...

hiding something from me?

No.

Why would you think that?

Then tell me,

did something happen to

the thread between us?

You really don't want to tell me?

Why?

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

It's just...

Sorry, I didn't mean to!

Is he the police officer

who often buys coffee from you?

He's also the one
chatting with that girl in a wedding dress

over there last time, right?

Manager, you're so gossipy.

What? I'm just asking.

You two seem really close.

No, we're not.

We're just very ordinary friends.

Ordinary friends?

Would ordinary friends
have late-night snacks together?

Manager,

actually, we're not that close.

Fine.

-I'm done. We can go.
-I misunderstood.

Did you wash it clean?

Manager, thanks for letting me
use the restroom.

It's nothing. Jiakai's friends
are always welcomed to use it.

Never mind. Just give me back my shirt.

-But there's still a little stain.
-It's okay. Thanks.

What's wrong?

Did I say something wrong?

Dawei?

Why isn't he here?

Has he already left?

Good morning.

Hey,

why are you late?

The bus came a bit late.

Since you're late, you'll print this.

Okay.

Dawei,

didn't we agree
to have breakfast together?

I forgot.

We had a deal yesterday.
How could you forget?

Have you had breakfast?

I bought an extra one.

Do you want

the pumpkin and mashed potato egg sandwich
or the pork egg sandwich?

Eat it yourself.

I'm full.

[Expose the Collusion
Between Corrupt Officials and Merchants]

Protect the old house!

[Fight Against Capitalist Monopoly]

Protect the old house!

Protect the bookstore!

Protect the bookstore!

Stop the urban renewal!

Stop the urban renewal!

Fight against capitalist monopoly!

Fight against capitalist monopoly!

-Someone reported a public disturbance.
-Protect the old house!

-She's the leader, right?
-Protect the bookstore!

Stop the urban renewal!

-Yes, that's her.
-Stop the urban renewal!

-She's been protesting here for days.
-Expose the collusion...

-That's why we decided to call the police.
-Between officials and Longxing Group!

-Why didn't you talk or disperse them?
-Unscrupulous Longxing Group!

-If we disperse the crowd,
-Unscrupulous Longxing Group!

it will affect our company's image.

So, it's better for you to handle it.

I'll keep reminding you of the importance

of preserving our architectural heritage!

We won't give up!

We won't give up!

-We won't give up!
-Please stop!

Miss, you're the one in charge, right?

What you're doing

is already affecting others.

So what?

Do you think we'll be scared
just because you called the police?

We're just expressing our demands

rationally.

That's right.

You're just standing here

and repeating the slogans.

No one truly understands your demands.

Then, officer,

could you bring the boss
of Longxing Group out

to have a proper talk with us?

We'll definitely tell him

our demands clearly.

Bring him out.
Longxing Group, come out and face us!

Tell him to come out and face us!
Come out, boss of Longxing Group!

What are you doing?

Those big bosses

won't face you unless they have no choice.

You know that well, don't you?

Why don't you tell us your demands?

Maybe we can help you.

Okay.

Then I want to know

how you're going to help us.

Let's have a word in private.

Go to the police station?

What is he talking about?

What does he mean?

Here.

Thanks.

My sister and I have been running
Old House Bookstore

for five years.

We lost money in the first few years

and only started
making a profit last year.

However, the city government

suddenly decided to
work with Longxing Group

on an urban renewal project.

They asked Longxing Group

to slowly acquire all our land,

saying they'll transform it into

an AI technology base.

It's a big development project.

The city government and the consortium
must've communicated with you many times.

Communicate?

They only came here
to hold a briefing reluctantly

after we started protesting,

and they’re the ones
setting the purchase price.

When I saw her outside the group,

I thought she genuinely
wanted to keep the old house.

But after hearing her words,

I'm not sure now.

What happened to

the people who protested before?

Well, they made a big fuss,
crying and shouting

that they wouldn't let the consortium
take away their ancestral homes.

And in the end...

What happened in the end?

In the end, the consortium

raised the price by 15 percent,

and they sold quickly.

Some even treated
their representatives to meals.

So, you're saying

that girl over there

is just like the previous protesters?

Maybe

she's doing this just to raise the price.

Is that so?

So, how many households in your area
still refuse to sell?

At first, no one wanted to sell,

but Longxing Group
kept pressuring us this year,

so many people had no choice
but to compromise.

Now, only our bookstore

and the two houses of our old neighbors
next door haven't been sold.

But even if our old house
is the only one left,

I won't give up.

I won't stop protecting our house.

Jiakai.

You can see the...

-Yes, you have superpowers.
-Yes, the threads.

Go take a look, hurry up!

Looks like the emotional connection
tied to this object

is really strong.

Lin Jiakai.

Don't take her side
just because she's cute.

Never mind, just go do your own thing.

You, stop that pervy look.

I saw you at the station, right?

I'm a student worker
at the police station.

Oh, right.

Is your scooter not starting?

Yes, I was wondering what to do.

I used to ride the same scooter.

I know a trick to start it.

Can you hold this for me?

Be careful. It's heavy.

-Okay.
-Thanks.

After turning the key,

kick it once,

then kick it again immediately!

Look, it worked.

You're amazing!

I just heard you
talking about the old house.

If you need anything,

I'll be happy to help.

I appreciate it.

But as the owners,
we have to deal with it ourselves.

Anyway, thanks for
helping me start my scooter.

It's nothing.

Time to eat!

Aren't you going in?

You go in first.

Hello?

Did something happen?

Your dad found me yesterday.

He made a scene downstairs, saying
he wouldn't leave unless I gave him money.

He found you?

I'm sorry.

So, did you give him money?

I had no choice,

and I was afraid he'd look for you.

Why don't you go to Auntie's place
and stay for a while?

I'll make time to see you.

You're back.

The series we wanted to watch
is now on the platform.

Want to watch it together?

I'm a bit tired.

I want to sleep early.

Okay, we'll watch it next time.

You can watch it first.

It's fine.

It's way more fun to watch it together.

[Keke]

Keke?

Is this the girl protecting
Old House Bookstore?

Yes.

Why does she have your number?

We ran into each other
on the street last time.

Let me answer the call.

Don't tell me you want to help again.

I don't.

Don't overthink it.

As a police officer,

I've seen a lot of people like her
these years.

Whether Keke will sell
the old house or not

depends on the money.

Don't get yourself involved in this.

I didn't say I'd help.

Stop lecturing me.

Give me back my phone.

Hello?

Great, you finally answered.

I found out that Professor Zeng Youhao,

who studies community development
and urban planning,

is a teacher at your university, right?

Can you introduce me
or take me to see him?

Lin Jiakai.

Listen,

don't ask for trouble.

Hello? Are you willing to help?

This is Two-Minute Love Live Stream.

[Two-Minute Love Live Stream]

[Peggy Talks Love Psychology]

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

I'm Peggy,

and I'm very happy,

because I just came back from Okinawa.

It was amazing.

So today, I'm going to

talk about a psychological theory happily.

It's called

self-deprecation.

What is self-deprecation?

Self-deprecation

usually happens to

people with low self-esteem.

So, what are the signs

of low self-esteem?

The simplest one

is that they

lack confidence

and feel they don't deserve to be loved.

For example,

in a relationship,

even if the other person
loves them very much,

they will think,

"Am I really good enough

to make him love me that much"?

Or

when they're dating someone,

the closer they get,

the more they might think,

"Will he leave me one day"?

And they just want to run away.

[Shock]

Ms. Peggy, are you busy?

Everyone,

let me formally introduce
my little assistant.

Come on.

Sit down.

This is the perfect time.

I'll let you ask

the question today.

If something

is bound to fail,

should I still do it?

Is it about love?

Yes.

That's a great question,

and I believe many of you
want to know it, too.

Okay, let me ask you a question.

If there's a delicious dish,

once you eat it,

it'll eventually become waste,

or

if you have a full meal today,

you'll eventually get hungry again,

will you eat it?

I will.

Why?

Because

I still need the nutrients.

Yes! Everyone,

did you hear that?

Our little assistant is amazing.

In life,

whether it's love, work, or study,

what matters most is not the result,

but the nutrients gained in the process,

okay?

Come on,
let's give him a round of applause.

You can also get

a small reward.

Do you want to know what it is?

Yes.

I brought it back from Okinawa,

and it's destined to become waste—

it's ramen!

Bye!

You did a great job.
