Episode 1

Brother-in-law.

Aren't we...

betraying my sister?

My name is Qiao Yi.

I'm a crazy woman.

And this guy with a deadpan face...

is my husband.

No. I mean this one.

Don't worry about that.

Your late sister will give us her blessings.

Sorry. I'm sorry, brother-in-law.

We've been married for 4 years.

We were classmates in high school.

But, we didn't date at that time.

We got together after graduation.

No, we got together after I came back from the UK.

That's about the same.

The details are important.

We didn't talk at all during university years.

Because you didn't contact me.

You didn't contact me either.

That's not the same.

Even though god pulled a huge prank on us,

I know that...

if there is a person you want to meet,

you will meet him one day.

But, I hadn't the faintest idea that...

I would wait...

six years for this.

After graduating from university,

I became a writer-director in a TV station.

Qiao Yi.

Have you finished the script for the next episode?

You just assigned the task to me an hour ago.

An hour ago?

That's more than enough!

At this speed, how do you call yourselves journalists?

You're too incompetent!

I'll work on it now.

When was this picture taken?

Always be serious at work!

Back in school,

I was a nobody.

Every day,

I could be seen in my uniform and ponytail.

I was too afraid to...

let my hair down or raise my hand to speak.

So, I'm definitely fit for the role of...

the female lead in movies like "Never Been Kissed".

Let's start the meeting.

You've received the topic for the next episode, right?

Now, tell me your ideas.

I'll go first.

Here's an example.

The heroine had very low self-esteem back in school.

She was secretly in love with her outstanding deskmate.

But, she didn't have the courage to confess.

After graduation, the two parted ways.

And 10 years later,

the heroine approached us...

and asked us to help her find her deskmate.

Then it turned out that...

her deskmate has been waiting for her.

That's impossible.

If he's an outstanding man,

he would have been married by now, right?

Qiao Yi, what do you think?

I think...

there's a problem with this story.

Tell us about it.

Has any of you...

secretly loved someone for 10 years?

Even if she hasn't talked to him for 10 years,

if he really matters to her,

she'll do whatever it takes...

to gather all information about him.

She'll search for his mobile phone number,

QQ account and forum ID.

She'll read every post he published...

and secretly follow his social media account...

and even the social media accounts of his girlfriend,

ex-girlfriend and present boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend.

She won't miss...

even the tiniest clue.

So, if she really wants to find him,

she can definitely find him.

Unless...

she's too afraid.

Qiao Yi!

Now?

My name is Hao Wu Yi.

I'm Qiao Yi's BFF.

We meet in high school.

Back then, she would help me buy breakfast every day...

and do my duties with me.

We also got punished together.

Qiao Yi is a really good friend.

At first, we weren't so close.

I first noticed her...

when she got the last place in our class.

Our form teacher scolded her so harshly for that.

Since then, I secretly decided...

to be nice to this classmate of mine...

and let her feel loved by her classmates.

Else, if she were to get depressed and transfer to another school,

I'd be the one to come last.

What are you doing lately?

Writing scripts.

By the way, how's your high school crush doing?

Let me think.

He's married.

Do you feel sad?

Why should I feel sad?

His bride isn't as pretty as me.

Do you know that we have a high school reunion this Saturday?

I know.

Are you going?

Yes.

Will Yan Mo go?

Why would I know?

You really don't talk to him anymore?

Why are you bringing him up?

I ran into Yu Miao Miao that day.

Do you remember her?

The girl who used eyelid stickers...

and called herself Faye Wong.

She said she called the wrong number one day...

and mistakenly called Yan Mo.

Guess what.

Yan Mo actually answered.

All these years in the UK, he never changed his number.

Do you know what this means?

That means,

his phone number might be linked to his credit card and so.

So, normal people like us...

can never understand smart people.

Trust me, sweetheart.

He's waiting for you.

Trust me, sweetheart.

It's been so many years and nobody cares.

If you really don't care, why don't you call him?

Don't you want to know how your high school crush...

is doing right now?

I'm not sending this to you.

I'm sending this to everyone.

Hello.

My phone is working fine.

This is humiliating!

Frank, where were you?

Did you see my wallet at home?

Your wallet? No.

You went off to look for your wallet?

You gave up your wristband conference for that?

Frank.

A Chinese TV station wants to interview you.

It's Nanchuan TV.

Aren't you from Nanchuan?

You've been overseas for a long time.

You can take this opportunity to go back.

Reject them for me.

Tell them I'm busy.

Hello. Dad.

Qiao Yi, hurry up and check our high school's QQ Group.

There's a breaking news!

Hey!

My dear classmates, guess who I ran into.

Who?

Yan Mo, the legend of Nanchuan No. 1 High School!

Yan Mo is back in Nanchuan?

We haven't heard from him for so many years!

Why did he transfer back then?

To get into Cambridge I think.

You guys are too naive.

Yan Mo confessed to Zhao Qiao Yi...

and Zhao Qiao Yi rejected him.

He went overseas to heal his wounded heart.

What?

Is Yan Mo crazy?

Is Qiao Yi crazy?

Busybodies!

Where did you come from?

The cinema next door.

I came as quickly as I could after I called you.

You saw it?

Do you know what his return means?

It means he still loves you.

Sweetheart.

The self-control...

he took pride in...

finally collapsed on one lonely night.

His love overflowed like the crashing floodwater.

He decided to make up with you.

Sweetheart.

You can save these beautiful sentences...

for your novel.

You're disgusting me.

Why are you outside?

I drank. I'll go in when the smell goes away.

Why are you back so late?

I had work to do.

Your TV station works you so hard for that meager salary.

What can I do?

Who else is going to write the script?

What script?

How's your high school crush doing now?

My high school crush?

Let me think.

The first one went abroad.

The second one debuted.

The third one is a famous person now.

The fourth one became a nun.

The fifth one just gave birth last month.

The...

It's fine to like more than one person, right?

I didn't ask, did I?

Are you going to our high school reunion?

No.

Why?

When you have many exes like me,

you'll realize that...

there's a lot of places not meant for you.

Brother.

You're the closest person to me in this world.

No.

I haven't even said anything.

Whenever you call me "brother",

you're up to no good.

Go to the reunion with me.

No.

Just help me this once.

I'm already helping you.

This is such a dangerous world.

I came 5 minutes ahead of you to make sure it's safe out here.

They said Yan Mo is back.

You're afraid of meeting him?

Then don't go.

But...

I want to meet my other classmates.

Then go.

See?

You can't even...

convince yourself with your own excuse.

I'm hungry.

I've been hungry since earlier.

Luckily, I saved a slice of cake in the fridge yesterday.

There are many types of siblings in this world.

Some adore each other...

and some hate each other.

Guan Chao and I...

grew up fighting each other.

Enough. Get down.

You...

Zhao Guan Chao.

What time is it now?

You didn't even call to tell me that you won't be back for dinner.

If this family doesn't matter to you,

just stay in Beijing and don't come back.

Mom, I went to pick up Qiao Yi.

Save me. I'll share the cake with you.

It's all mine.

Fine.

Let me play with your new gaming console for one month.

Take it.

Go to the high school reunion with me.

No.

This is a matter of principles.

Fine. I'll go.

What about your principles?

My biggest principle is flexibility.

Mom.

Guan Chao really did pick me up.

Mom, it's so dangerous out there.

As her old brother, of course I'm worried.

Mom, I'm so lucky to have...

a brother like this.

Really?

-Of course. -Of course.

Why haven't you changed your clothes?

You don't want to go to the reunion anymore?

I can't go.

My entire body is aching and lethargic.

My limbs are feeling weak.

You're not having a fever.

You're as fit as a bull.

You pulled my arm yesterday...

and the doctor said...

it caused a dislocation. I can't move my arm now.

Don't be silly, sister.

It was your right arm I pulled yesterday.

Hurry up and get changed.

I'll be waiting outside.

Zhao Guan Chao!

Wait a bit.

I think my phone is ringing.

Supervisor Hu.

An emergency meeting?

I'll get back immediately.

Hello. Is this Qiao Yi's supervisor?

It's my sister's wedding today and she can't go back to work.

She finally found someone who's willing to marry her.

This is her only chance.

You actually know the supervisor of China Mobile's customer service line?

How amazing.

Don't worry.

That guy isn't coming.

Really?

Really.

Let's go.

Move.

It's been a long time!

Here!

Here!

How are you lately?

Who chose this place? It's so tucked away.

I'll tell you the reason later.

Sit down.

Sit here, Qiao Yi.

I bought you a doll.

She looks exactly like you.

-Just wait for the delivery. -Okay.

Is Sun Zhen Qi coming?

We haven't seen him at all after graduation.

I recalled that there was an arrogant guy in our class.

What's his name again?

Fei Da Chuan!

-Yes! -Fei Da Chuan!

He was a gangster.

Sorry for showing up late!

Who's this?

What's wrong with you, Fatso?

You don't remember me?

Fei Da Chuan.

Is everyone present? I'm so hungry.

Let's wait a little longer. The class monitor said...

we've a VIP.

Who's that?

A person you dread meeting.

I need to go to the toilet.

Stop right there!

Gao!

Where are your manners?

Call me Teacher Gao!

Teacher Gao!

Da Chuan. Qiao Yi. Wu Yi.

Class monitor.

Class monitor.

You said it yourself that...

once we graduate,

we should stop telling people that...

you're our teacher.

Get out.

The toilet is outside.

After graduating from university,

I became a writer-director in a TV station.

I thought that a writer-director's job...

is to glamorously interview some outstanding youths.

But, it turned out that my job is to write...

soap opera scripts every day.

And when we're short-staffed, I'd even have to act for myself.

So, I'm a veteran...

performing artist in the TV station.

Your reunion is our quest.

Let your heart wait no more.

Welcome to our simulated reality show,

"The Search For The One".

I'm Anne.

Today, we simulate...

a mother-to-be.

And she is looking for...

the father of her baby.

What made...

the baby's father leave her?

And what caused...

the two who were once in love...

to change completely?

I can't take this anymore.

I'm 7 months pregnant.

Yet, I've to set up a stall to sell fruits every day.

He won't come home unless he needs money.

I go out to make money...

for your sake!

For my sake?

Look at this.

Look.

He came back drunk...

and beat me.

He doesn't care if I'm pregnant.

I really regret...

marrying him so soon.

Qiao Yi is such a good actress.

Pregnant women can't have coke.

Where did you get that guy?

He couldn't even say his lines properly.

You should be glad he came.

The woman who was supposed to play the wife demanded a higher pay.

You're a lifesaver.

You did a good job.

Hu wants you to revise the script.

He wants the lines to sound more local.

Why must Hu turn this show...

into "The New Old Uncle"?

It's always an affair between in-laws...

or a relationship between the nanny and the master.

Did I study so hard to get into a TV station for this?

Yuan Shuai. Qiao Yi.

What? Are you avoiding me?

No. We were just chatting.

Have you eaten?

You?

Not yet.

My boyfriend said...

the packed food here is bad food...

and insisted to take me to some French restaurant.

But, as you can see,

our new programme is airing soon.

I've no time to eat out.

New programme?

Yes.

We're going to have a new programme...

that interviews famous people from Nanchuan.

After this month,

Supervisor Hu and I will transfer over.

He didn't tell you?

See you.

What is this?

This is bribes for you.

During your probation in the first half of the year,

you gave me this thing.

Now you gave me this.

Looks like you see me as...

a model rocket collector.

So, what's going on?

I heard you're transferring to...

another programme.

I want to join you.

No.

Supervisor Hu, I've had enough of this show.

I've my own professional dreams.

Once you leave, I'll have no room for development here.

Tell me about your professional dreams.

I want to be a person...

with pride, charisma and dreams like you...

and become a great TV producer...

respected by my peers.

Don't bootlick. Be honest.

I want your salary.

Then it'll take years.

Some people say I'm meant to write soap operas.

-I can't accept that. -What's wrong with soap operas?

Back then, the viewership of this show was less than 0.1.

Now, it's the station's most popular show.

I'm transferring...

and so many people covet my position.

I went out of my way to let you stay.

Do you want to be a sidekick forever?

Then why do you want to leave with me?

Thank you, Hu.

Watch your manners. Call me Supervisor Hu.

Thank you, Supervisor Hu!

Get out.

The result is positive.

It's mitral valve prolapse.

Even though it's not serious,

it might worsen if you're too active.

When you're old,

you're going to have some health issues for sure.

By the way son,

I heard the watch you designed...

won a prize.

It's a wristband for examining health.

But, there's still a lot of flaws.

It's not practical yet.

I almost forgot.

Nanchuan TV wants to interview you.

I know. I turned them down.

I said yes on behalf of you.

I know that...

you don't want to be a public figure.

But this time, it's a special case.

The TV producer is my ex-classmate.

Don't do this again.

Okay.

It's time.

Your reunion is our quest.

Let your heart wait no more.

Welcome to our simulated reality show,

"The Search For The One".

I'm Anne.

What is this episode about?

That pregnant woman...

How sinful.

She's 7 months pregnant...

and her husband beats her.

Did they find that person from the last episode?

Yes.

It wasn't the nanny that abused the child.

It was the child's mom.

I can't take this anymore.

I'm 7 months pregnant.

Yet, I've to set up a stall to sell fruits every day.

He won't come home unless he needs money.

I go out to make money...

for your sake!

For my sake?

Look at this.

He came back drunk and beat me.

He doesn't care if I'm pregnant.

Hello. How may I help you?

Hello.

I'm a fan of your show.

I watched the last episode...

and I really want to know what happened to the pregnant woman.

Thank you.

Our biggest motivation is the audience's anticipation.

But, we can only air the next episode next week.

Look.

She's a friend of mine.

I really want to find her.

This...

We don't know.

She left after the session.

We've lost contact with her.

Lost contact?

How could you do this to a poor woman who came for help?

How can you guys be so irresponsible?

What's going to happen to her?

-Wait. -Where's that man?

Mister, please calm down.

She...

works here?

Yes.

Qiao Yi.

Thanks for...

shooting the promotional film for our school.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome. Don't mention it.

Qiao Yi.

I've another favour to ask.

Can you help me contact...

your classmate Yan Mo?

Why are you looking for him?

Well,

it's the school's 60th anniversary soon.

We're planning to invite him...

to deliver a speech on behalf of all outstanding alumni.

We don't have his contact details.

I'll try my best.

If I manage to contact him,

I'll call you.

Alright. Thank you.

Goodbye.

I'm not trying to talk to you.

I'm just helping out.

Hello.

Hello. Can you hear me?

At that moment, I suddenly realized...

why he came back.

A. He still likes me.

B. I'm already...

none of his concern.

Bad news!

Hu!

What's the matter?

The host stumbled and her condition is serious.

Stumbled? What happened?

Some irresponsible guy...

spilt coke all over the floor.

She's heading to the hospital now.

Can you guys stop making life difficult for me?

This...

Qiao Yi!

You'll go.

Yes, you.

Go where?

You'll be the host.

I... I can't do this.

Yes, you can do it.

I don't know what to say.

There'll be a prompter.

I... I've never been a host before.

You've never been pregnant before either.

You acted so well.

I really can't do this.

Yuan Shuai.

Take her to the dressing room.

-No. -Alright.

-Let's go. -Hurry up.

Qiao Yi, put this on later.

Can I not?

No.

Mr. Yan.

Should I let them put on some make-up for you?

You'll look better on camera.

No thanks.

I'm not used to that.

Alright. Let's head to the studio.

Qiao Yi.

Are you ready?

I don't even know who the interviewee is.

Should I...

Should I double-check the script with the guest?

It's too late. He has arrived. Go.

Can you guys hurry up?

Stop wasting time.

Mr. Yan, this is the script.

These are the questions the host might ask you.

Please take a look.

Just relax during the talk.

Don't be nervous.

There's a total of 3 cameras here.

That's the monitor.

I suggest that you avoid looking at it.

That's our host.

Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi.

Start recording in 3 minutes.

Carry out the last check.

Camera 3.

Are you okay?

Don't zoom any more, Camera 3.

This is our guest for today,

Yan Mo.

This is our host, Zhao Qiao Yi.

Hello.

I'm Yan Mo.

Hello.

You two can talk first.

We're getting ready to start.

Hello, Yan Mo.

Nice to meet you.

This is work.

Stay calm.

You've been away for such a long time.

Do you think there's a lot of changes?

Yes.

Prices have gone up a lot.

So, did you go back to our school?

I heard your notebook...

is still being passed on.

No.

How long will you be staying this time?

I'm leaving tomorrow.

That's fast.

Because I've no reason to stay.

Why isn't there any sound?

What's wrong? Check the audio.

Check.

Sorry!

Hello.

Do you hear me?

What's going on, Yuan Shuai?

There's some problem with our mic.

Please give us a minute.

How are you lately?

In what aspect?

I heard you've a girlfriend now.

Who said that?

I called you before.

A girl answered.

You called me?

Why didn't you change your number?

You think I'm waiting for you?

You bite your nail whenever you feel guilty.

Why are you changing the topic?

Then answer my question.

Why did you reject me back then?

I've no reason to stay indeed.

Hello.

I found your wallet.

I also found an old cellphone.

I don't know if you still want it,

so I sent both.

The cellphone will arrive a few days later.

Have you received the wallet?

I've received it.

Are your important things still inside?

Yes.

Let's take a picture.

Come.

Three, two, one.

Smile.

Qiao Yi, can you smile more naturally?

This is for the bulletin board.

I smiled so hard that my face went stiff.

Why don't you ask someone else?

Zhao Qiao Yi, have you finished your homework?

You're the only one that hasn't turned it in.

Right away.

No. Let me take another picture.

I'll write about Jay Chou for this week's celebrity column.

Make it fast.

Three, two, one.

This one's good.

It's just that Yan Mo's in it.
