Original subtitles

Do you keep your partner updated?

You do?

Do you want to know their plans, too?

I guess so.

Like checking up on them?

No, not checking up.

Just every day,

morning, noon or night,

at least drop me a message.

Tell me what you're doing,

if you've eaten, that sort of thing.

That's what I'd prefer.

But some guys

get tired of it after a while.

It's always the same things:

"Good morning. Good afternoon.

Here's what I'm doing.

Good evening. Here's what I'm doing."

Some people find it annoying.

Hi, guys.

Hi, guys.

I do feel a little threatened.

After all, I wasn't her clear choice.

I've waited so long I'm not hungry.

I've had three bottles of water.

[Heads out] Huang Siyang, go to the date zone.

Hello, guys.

Hello.

Hello.

Didn't expect to see you here.

I only brought one piece of gum.

I was going to give it to you.

Oh well, then.

Oh well, then.

What about mine?

None left. Sorry.

All gone.

All right.

I'll leave, then.

Don't go.

Share the seat with me.

Okay.

Like this, right?

Let's enjoy the sea breeze.

This isn't a reward. It's a punishment.

How could

something like this even happen?

This only happens in novels,

you know?

I just wanted the ground to swallow me.

It was so awkward.

[#Love Wins All S2: Intense Moments] We were having dinner on our date,

and then Siyang joined us.

He even shared my chair!

I never saw that coming.

It was just absurd.

[Absurd]

Isn't this a bit too intimate?

It's fine.

Why don't we date and let her leave?

I know you want to date me.

I knew right away.

You can have him.

I've already told him

to get my best outfit ready tomorrow.

I'm getting ready to leave the island.

Really?

I've already told him.

Why?

I'm leaving the island.

You're leaving?

Things look bad now, bro.

I wish I hadn't won.

[Why did I even try?] Survival's no help at all.

I'm done trying to survive.

Want something to eat,

Siyang?

No, thanks.

I just ate.

You ate? Who did you eat with?

I'm full from all that water.

I filled up on coconut water.

[Full of coconut water]

Where did you get coconut water?

I don't know.

[Supply Station of Affection] [No idea]

It was so awkward for all three of us.

It felt ice-cold.

Why don't we all have some food?

Let's eat.

You're like my "mom" and "dad."

Here, let me get you some.

You're the best.

Siyang,

do you want my chair?

No, thanks.

[The "puppy" refuses]

You like sharing a seat, huh?

I want to sit closer to him.

[Nowhere to look]

Lovely weather today.

Not bad.

It's nice now.

And?

A breeze, too.

[Nervous feet]

Do you know

what day it is in three days?

Another elimination day?

No.

Qixi, Chinese Valentine's Day.

Right, Qixi.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

I'll be gone by then.

Why do you keep thinking

you're going to leave?

Will we spend Qixi as a trio?

I just did the math.

I think I'm going home, bro.

I worked it out.

I looked at how the votes were split.

I think I'm going home.

No way.

I'm at risk.

I've already planned

to wear my best outfit tomorrow.

So it's our last dance together?

Our last dance.

One last chance to shine.

Isn't that your best outfit today?

Today? I've got another one.

There's an even better one.

I haven't shown my secret weapon yet.

I can't keep up with you!

No need to ship my recent order now.

I told them to return it.

What color is it?

Let me think. I'll wear white.

[White] I'm sending my order back.

I bought five pairs of shoes.

I'll return those, too.

You really won't need them.

Maybe there won't be much time

or many chances to wear them.

Don't return them.

Leave them for me.

Don't return them.

Leave them for me.

[Leave them for me]

My feet are bigger.

Why don't we all have some food?

He told me to have some.

He put it on my plate.

Thyme.

Is this thyme?

I thought it was a vegetable.

Sorry, my mistake.

Sorry.

Trying to poison me?

Make me leave today?

You want to send me off, don't you?

I don't even want you going back.

Don't want you going back.

I've already overstayed my welcome?

If they don't announce it tomorrow,

I'll stay forever.

Stay forever, bro.

Know who's feeling most awkward now?

Ally, I guess.

Ally.

I feel like

she wants the ground to swallow her.

I think it's fine.

Siyang, have a bite.

You haven't eaten anything, have you?

Have a bite.

One bite, then we're done.

Let's go.

You haven't eaten anything.

That's a wrap. Cameras off.

Bro.

Bro.

Who's back?

I shouldn't have won that game today.

What happened?

A love triangle?

Tianqing and I shared a seat.

I've never felt so awkward in my life.

Yeah, you can tell he really likes you.

It's only day two.

I feel like we're still

getting to know each other.

I can't give him

an answer this soon.

It wouldn't be fair,

or very sincere.

We need to get to know each other more.

[Get to know each other more]

I don't like people

who come on too strong.

It makes me...

It makes me want to hide.

I get it.

Let's go, then.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Where are you headed now?

To the dining room, or somewhere else?

I feel like I should go apologize.

Okay, go ahead.

I'll go to the dining room.

Okay.

Sorry.

Was the three-person date awkward for you, too?

No, it was fun.

Fun. I've never done that before.

It was quite an experience.

Really?

Has that ever happened to you before?

No.

Exactly. Isn't life about

having these unusual experiences?

But face-to-face like that, I felt...

Go on.

Okay. A bit awkward.

All right.

Bye.

Date's over?

Xi,

have you seen Siyang?

No, I haven't.

No.

Here comes the handsome guy.

So handsome.

Why was it so awkward?

I've already told them

to get me

my best outfit for tomorrow.

I'm ready to leave the island.

Why was it so awkward?

Why make it so awkward?

I'm so mad!

So what if I won the game?

I still lost in the end, bro.

That's wild.

That's so dramatic!

Time to leave.

Ready to leave the island, guys.

[Waiting]

No chance of a date now. What's up?

Go on, it's okay.

I was joking.

Really?

Really. Go on.

Were you really joking?

I didn't expect it to be so awkward,

you know?

I thought I'd be sitting there,

waiting for you.

Really.

Let's take a walk.

Let's go.

Sorry.

Sorry? It's okay.

No, when I say I'm sorry,

that's not what I mean.

I mean,

on the first day,

I teamed up with Tianqing, right?

I felt

I owed him an explanation.

And you know,

on our date the first day,

do you know what I was thinking?

I wondered if you were fooling me.

And?

Because when you talk,

you tend to be

half-joking, half-serious, you know?

You say so many things as jokes.

Did you think I'd pick you on day two?

[Would I pick you today?]

You mean today?

Yeah.

I don't know.

You must have had some idea.

No.

I really wasn't totally sure

you'd pick me.

You say so many things

as jokes.

Yeah.

It makes me wonder how much is...

Am I that funny?

Not that funny, but...

Sometimes,

when I'm being sincere,

you think

I'm teasing you.

Really?

Is that how you usually are?

Yeah, that's just how I am.

I'm used to people

saying things seriously

when they mean them.

Sometimes, when you joke

and start saying

all those sweet things,

I wonder

if you mean it or you're just joking.

I'm not someone

who usually talks very seriously.

I don't like things too formal,

like, I have to take you out today,

just so we can have

a very formal, serious date.

[Easygoing guy] I like to keep things casual.

Then can I talk to you

about something serious?

Serious?

Yes.

Cheer me up first.

[Comfort request sent] Cheer me up first.

Or I won't listen.

But I haven't done anything wrong.

[Mm-hmm] Just cheer me up.

But I haven't done anything wrong.

I know.

Why do you need cheering up?

Are you a baby?

Because I'm hurt.

Are you joking now

or being serious?

Or are you hiding the truth in a joke?

Take a guess.

I don't want to guess.

That's all I did yesterday.

After our date, I kept guessing.

About me?

Yes.

Which things I meant

and which I didn't?

Yes.

Really. I've been lied to before.

You've been lied to?

So have I.

I wasn't always like this.

What were you like?

I'm just scared of giving my heart

and getting hurt.

[Hiding old wounds behind jokes] That's why I tend to talk like...

Half sincere, half joking...

I only say half of what I mean.

It's not that you hold back half.

You...

Holding back half...

It's like everything you say

is a joke.

Yeah.

And it makes me feel

like you say that to everyone.

Really?

I don't.

That's why I said

I should get ready to leave the island.

I'm done for.

Why do you keep thinking about leaving?

Because the only people

I've spent time with are you and Xi.

Just you two.

I really haven't

talked much to anyone else.

Don't you want to get to know them?

For me, it's that first impression.

If I like a girl at first sight,

only then do I want to get to know her.

[An initial spark is a must] Get to know her.

So you wouldn't consider

any of the other girls?

Right.

You wouldn't consider

anyone else at all?

We still have 11 days.

We can become friends.

We can all be good friends.

That's how I see it.

Are you being serious now?

Yes, I really am.

That first spark matters a lot to me.

[It's all about the first spark]

So I really should

get ready to leave the island.

Why didn't you say it

in that tone yesterday?

Did you have to joke about it?

It was our first day.

Did we have to get that deep?

Talking about all this...

I feel like we're moving

a bit too fast.

It's only day two.

Do we have to be this serious already?

Right?

What about the 12 days left?

Okay.

Hearing that makes me feel awful.

But I had no ulterior motive

in asking Tianqing out today.

I know.

And I didn't know

it would turn out like this.

It felt pretty bad.

Then can I cheer you up?

[Cheering you up] Let's team up again tomorrow, okay?

Okay.

I'll pick you again tomorrow, okay?

[Heartbroken puppy] I'm already heartbroken.

I'm a heartbroken puppy now.

Really?

Would cheering you up fix it?

Can I try cheering you up?

Just cheering me up will fix it?

It depends.

On how well you do it.

How do you want me to do it?

The puppy's heartbroken now.

How can I make you feel better?

What works best on you?

Act cute. Meow.

Aren't you a West Highland Terrier?

A West Highland Terrier, right.

Will this do?

That'll do.

She asked me out for a walk.

It was awkward. I was still upset.

But she tried to make me feel better

and explained

why she'd picked Tianqing.

I felt a lot less upset after that.

Maybe we just had

a communication problem.

Maybe it was my fault.

Let's just put this behind us,

okay?

Okay.

Let's shake hands.

What I said to Siyang

wasn't really an apology.

Why did I call it that?

Because I felt

I should give him a way to save face.

He's a guy,

and he'd won today,

but didn't get a date alone with me.

I thought

he must feel upset about that.

So I didn't mind apologizing.

In that case,

we had it a little better than them.

Shall we go down?

[The trio's date is over]

Can we join you?

We'll join you.

Let's join you guys.

Let me tell you

what happened to me today, okay?

Don't tell them.

Go on.

This is

Don't tell them.

my biggest childhood trauma.

How so?

My heart is shattered right now.

It's okay.

We can watch it back later anyway.

Don't tell them.

Everyone in their dorm knows.

Let's keep this a secret, okay?

Their whole dorm knows.

Did you ask them?

Let's go, then.

All five of us can walk back together.

Let's go.

You can stand in the middle.

That makes it more dramatic.

Yours doesn't even count now.

It doesn't?

No. Mine does.

There's something more dramatic?

Yes.

Even more dramatic?

Yes.

What happened to you?

There were three of us on the date,

but only two chairs.

I had to sit on someone's lap.

That's pretty funny.

Then why were only two of you walking?

How did someone get kicked out?

[Playing a game] He got kicked out.

Whatever.

Let's not talk about it.

We've made up.

Even the perfume has worn off.

We've made up.

But we've made up now.

We really have.

Siyang.

We really have.

We have.

Let's go.

Siyang's a little heartbroken.

He's really heartbroken.

He's not. Stop making things up.

Was it that intense?

Was it that intense?

A three-person date? We know.

Was it awkward?

A bit, for me.

Come on, let's go talk.

I've never been so upset in my life.

You look so wronged.

I feel so wronged, man.

So wronged, yeah.

So wronged.

It's okay.

I'm pretty much

off the island too.

Change of plans. Time to go home.

Okay.

The Changsha Twin Stars

have been defeated.

[Changsha Twin Stars defeated] We're toast.

We're really toast.

Who was the other one just now?

It's over.

It's over.

Man, the look on your face

was just like mine at first.

You went through the same thing?

Pretty much.

Such a bitter smile.

I couldn't even smile.

Let's sit down for a bit.

Let's go on a date together.

Take a break.

Shall we sit over there?

On the edge of the flower bed.

Let's enjoy

the end of our journey of affection.

They're sitting where I had my date,

comforting each other.

I can't take it.

Look.

They're going over it all again.

Look at him.

After just a few words,

I felt like I didn't have a chance.

[Matching crossed legs] Because I could tell

Annie

probably wasn't into me.

Maybe she thinks I'm too young

and a little corny.

Too much of a joker.

Don't be the funny guy, man.

I'm done being the funny guy.

[Funny guys don't find love] I'm done being the funny guy, man.

She said, "Don't get mad

when you watch this back.

I said you were a little corny."

And I said...

I was smiling like this at first.

[The vanishing smile]

You can change that.

Over time, you can get her

to see you differently, I think.

No, I believe in love at first sight.

[Love at first sight] First impressions can't be changed.

Man.

Okay, we've both lost.

We really have.

We've lost.

[Brothers in misery] We're a disgrace to Changsha.

We've fallen.

[Both Changsha Twin Stars defeated] We're a disgrace to Changsha.

What a disgrace.

So embarrassing.

What a coincidence, huh?

You know?

When I saw your face,

like you'd tasted something awful,

man,

I knew exactly how you felt.

[One look tells the same sad story] You know?

We shouldn't have won that game.

Fine, I'm giving up.

I'm giving up.

I'll just play casually.

I'm done playing.

Life is hopeless.

Hopeless.

It really is hopeless.

Hopeless. I get it now.

I know that feeling.

[Change of plans] I'm done. Today's plans are ruined.

I guess I'll have to leave.

The Book of Answers is full of lies.

I'll never trust it again.

Who?

The Book of Answers.

[The Book of Answers has no answers]

My plan today

was based on The Book of Answers.

The Book of Answers.

I didn't ask who she picked.

I said, I don't even have to guess.

It definitely wasn't me.

Out of the three of us,

she must have picked Liang.

I'm done being the funny guy.

[The emptiness after a bitter laugh]

I'm going to lie on the grass.

Let's lie on the grass.

Lie down for a bit.

Let's look at the stars.

The lights are too bright. I can't see.

What do we do?

I'm so tired.

I really can't take it anymore.

I'm exhausted.

I really can't go on.

My fragile little heart

can't take a blow this big.

Before that dinner,

I was so excited too.

I even put cologne on you.

We both sprayed it on.

Really went all out.

Seven or eight sprays at least, bro.

Getting ready for that date,

we tried at least 20 different things.

I thought it'd be a normal date.

We wore our best outfits.

I thought Annie would pick you.

Your outfits matched so well.

Forget it.

Our stars have fallen.

Fallen.

But honestly,

didn't I say we've got 11 days left?

You've still got a chance.

You can change her impression of you.

A lot of the time,

you can change someone's impression.

I don't believe that now.

Really.

No way.

You'll have another chance.

What kind of guys does she like?

Did you ask her?

No.

I don't know what type she likes,

but I'm definitely not her type.

I feel like I'm done for.

Let's get up and walk around.

I can barely walk straight.

Let's go. I'll head back

and recharge a little.

Hang out with everyone and recharge.

Enjoy the little time we have left.

[Today's affection is like perfume:] [Sweet hope, then bitter loneliness]

Want to play a game with us?

We've written some new game cards.

Come join us.

Ke'er and...

She has a headache,

so she wants to rest in her room.

And so did Song.

Okay, come on.

Come join us.

See if there's a seat anywhere.

You can sit there.

[Moves over without being asked]

Are you sitting there?

Why don't you sit here?

I'll sit on the inside.

Okay.

Those two went on a date, right?

[A little late to catch on]

Don't.

[Must you tell the whole world?]

Let's go.

It's about to fall.

Oh no, my hands are shaking today.

It's okay.

It's Truth or Dare. Why so scared?

My hands are shaking.

Careful.

The first truth question.

[Deafened by that high-pitched squeal]

What's the question? Let's hear it.

I'll help you.

Let me take a look.

Pick the guy you're most interested in.

[Dare: Everyone closes their eyes] Pat him while everyone's eyes are shut.

Once everyone opens their eyes, explain your choice.

Let's close our eyes.

Close our eyes.

Should we make some noise?

[Claire Cai chooses Wang Sheng]

Done.

Because he's so...

He seems so clean-cut.

Yeah.

I know what you mean.

He does.

How many girls are you interested in?

One.

One?

Such affection!

Love Wins All.

Pick a girl to carry in your arms

and do five squats.

I pick Xinran.

See?

One.

Two.

Three.

[Five squats done in no time] Four.

Five.

Six.

Why the extra reps? Just five.

It's fine.

[Can't bear to put her down] Fifteen!

He won't stop.

A hundred and fifty!

I'm going to the bathroom.

I'll go with you.

Okay, let's go.

[The game continues]

Draw a card first.

Okay, I'll draw one.

The one in the middle.

Go on a 20-minute private date

with the girl who loses next round.

[Ren Chunxi isn't back yet]

Girls, don't lose on purpose.

Should we wait for those two?

It doesn't matter, does it?

Let's just start without them.

No need to wait.

No, we have to wait.

No, let's not.

We have to wait.

We're really not waiting.

We have to.

[Liu Xinran, Ren Chunxi] Do you like Sheng?

I didn't say I like him,

but I'm most interested in him.

I can tell.

Is it that obvious?

Let's wait for them.

I know she likes him.

She's told me many times.

I wanted to save this round for her.

Let's wait a bit.

Too many people are missing.

I wanted everyone to join in.

Let's just play another round.

While we wait,

we can play a round that doesn't count.

Sure, this one won't count, then.

Okay.

Come on, this is just a normal round.

For a block in the middle,

you can pinch it.

Really?

But if you want to lose, I can't help.

This one doesn't count.

This round doesn't count, right?

Right.

That's a shame.

Right here.

Push it this way.

The pressure's on.

Go on, draw a card.

This one's not bad.

All the guys close their eyes.

Point to the guy here you're most interested in.

This one's not bad.

[Ren Chunxi returns]

Come here.

An exciting game is waiting for you.

But I wasn't in that round.

I've been helping you all along.

You'll see in a minute.

I'll point to the guy I'm most interested in.

That really makes my heart flutter.

So you wouldn't consider

any of the other girls?

That's right.

[Yuning's top choice: Wang Tianqing]

Okay, all done.

Okay.

Let's do the dare from the last round.

Back to the previous round.

His last dare was to go on a date

with the girl who loses the next round.

I told you we had to wait.

Will this work?

I don't know.

This one works.

I really can't figure it out.

Girls, don't lose on purpose.

[Pushes it straight over]

She did that on purpose.

She knocked it over like this.

Next time, invite me to...

You guys keep playing.

We'll go have a chat.

Let's go.

Wait, do this one too.

[Dare: Pin a guy to the wall for 10s] One last thing.

Do the ten-second wall pin first.

Why me?

Because you lost the round.

That was his dare from the last round.

Thanks for doing this.

Start with the wall pin.

Set the mood.

Do the wall pin first.

Set the mood.

Yeah.

I'm pinning him to the wall?

Of course.

Ten seconds.

Use both hands.

Look into each other's eyes.

Wait.

Wait.

[Coach Zheng] We've even got a coach.

Start.

[Filmed by Gao Yuheng]

Why are you

putting your hands up in surrender?

Ten seconds?

Ten seconds.

Four.

Three.

Two.

Two.

One.

One and a half.

Okay.

Off you go.

Congratulations.

Isn't this way better than your dates?

Let's go.

Let's go outside and talk.

[The brave get to enjoy life first]

You looked so different this afternoon.

What?

You looked so different this afternoon.

My look was different?

Yeah.

I actually wanted you to try

these glasses,

but you've just tried them on.

They're those...

nerdy glasses, right?

Let's just chat.

Let's find somewhere to sit.

Because I feel like

I was always starting our chats today.

I don't know how you feel...

Really?

Yes, so I felt like you weren't...

When did you try talking to me?

When did you try talking to me?

[Loading memories] When we were cooking, for example.

I was the one talking to you.

So I just didn't know...

At the time, I thought...

You said you don't cook, so...

[Steps closer] And you...

[Steps back] You were looking for ways to help.

You'd feel awkward doing nothing,

[Steps closer] so I asked you to come over.

[Steps closer again] Yeah, but you didn't talk to me.

[Keeps stepping closer]

[Steps back] Didn't I tell you

[Keeps stepping back] how to cut it?

Why do you take a step back

every time I step toward you?

You mean right now?

Yeah.

I'll move a bit closer.

Didn't I tell you how to cut it?

Right now...

That counts as you making a move?

[The "neighbors" peek at the drama]

Not a move. I just think...

So you felt

[Steps closer again] that was your response then?

Yeah.

It definitely wasn't making a move.

I wasn't being cold, I just...

That's all.

Okay.

Shall we find somewhere to sit, or...?

Either is fine.

Or we can go back. Whatever you want.

Let's find a place to sit.

We can sit here or over there.

Okay, let's stay here for a while.

Yesterday...

Yesterday, I thought

I might have to leave the island.

Then I thought,

if I ended up leaving

just because I wouldn't speak up

or make a move,

[Pillow presses her mic to her chest] I'd feel I wasn't man enough.

[Xi's heartbeat] Not man enough.

I had to man up at least once.

No, I just wanted to know...

[Her heartbeat quickens] Well, actually...

About those

blocks...

[Cards on the table] I knocked them over on purpose.

I could have

kept them standing for that round.

I just wanted to know.

Really?

Yes. So I wanted to know if...

I don't know if

my making a move would bother you.

[Denial #1] No, it doesn't bother me.

[Denial #2] It doesn't bother me.

[Denial #3]

I never imagined this happening.

Wouldn't you prefer a guy who's...

[Hesitating]

a bit more cheerful?

Not cheerful, I mean...

more outgoing?

When did I ever say that?

I didn't...

I just assumed that. Isn't that right?

You think I like outgoing guys?

So...

At least a bit more talkative.

So you think...

Someone who takes the initiative.

Right?

That's nice, but...

Mainly, I don't want to...

[Straight to the point] I just want to get to know you.

I don't think we've had

many chances to talk today.

[Still night. Hearts beat in silence. Cicadas are deafening.]

It's not something

you need to worry about.

You wear a lot of these.

Did you design them?

No, I just like how they look.

[What's on your mind?] Any response?

Could you give me one for now?

One you don't usually wear.

Could I have a bracelet?

I don't think it'll fit you.

Try this one for now.

It's...

Okay.

I'm really not a passive person.

I don't keep people waiting,

or leave them guessing about things.

But I need...

I need a little time.

[Brain overheating] I need to get my brain working.

My brain's a bit...

I didn't mean to...

I don't really know what to say.

But I just feel

when a girl has already...

No.

made herself clear,

if I don't respond...

No.

It's not very manly.

No.

It's just not right.

Here's how I see it.

If I'm interested in you,

it's natural for me to make a move.

Just because I make a move,

you don't have to feel obliged to reply.

So if that puts pressure on you...

I don't want you to feel pressured.

And you don't need to feel that way.

I get it. I...

And even if...

Even if I'm the one

who likes someone,

he has every right not to like me back.

That's perfectly normal.

Ever since yesterday, I've felt

that you're

much more mature than I am.

And I feel

when you talk to me, it's really

more like you're keeping me company.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Speech system crashing] Shall we head back?

I need a break.

I need to get my brain working.

You can head back.

Okay.

Okay.

Shall we go back together?

Let's go.

Okay.

Don't feel pressured. I think...

Does this have any special meaning?

Or...

Not really.

It's obsidian.

It supposedly boosts your water element.

Okay, I could...

use some of that too.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Why are you back so soon?

I'm back because...

it's so hot outside.

A love-triangle showdown?

There was no showdown.

Like I'd believe you.

When she pinned you to the wall,

Claire's expression changed.

No way.

I swear on my life I'm not lying.

I can sense these things, bro.

Your instincts can't be that accurate.

Who can you read accurately?

Me, or who?

I can read everyone accurately.

I just couldn't

choose another guy,

you know?

He saved me,

and picked me for his team too.

Yeah, he's a good guy.

That's why I chose him.

Xi's amazing.

Yeah. She did what I didn't dare to do.

You know?

Could it be

that a guy who's so proper

needs a girl like you...

Who's a bit of a flirt.

Yes, to give him a push?

No, I don't really want to push him.

So did you two talk just now?

I feel like neither of us

had quite worked out what to say.

So what did you talk about?

[Mind blank] What did he say just now?

Nothing in 20 minutes? You don't remember?

Does that change anything for you?

No.

It doesn't?

Change what?

What I just told you,

after you came back,

doesn't change anything?

[Information overload] I need to think.

Today, I...

My brain can't keep up right now.

Okay.

Are you still interested

in the girl who asked you out earlier?

Can we not talk about this right now?

His head's a mess right now.

Let him think.

You don't know? Then...

Because when he came back,

I told him

something else.

I had such mixed feelings that day.

I was ready to leave the island.

Tell us if you're unhappy.

We really don't want you to...

[After dinner today] Yeah, because Zhang Yi...

She said she wanted to leave.

Tonight,

Ke'er and I were busy cooking.

She probably doesn't know the others very well.

And you weren't there,

so she just sat there alone.

She looked really unhappy.

She...

You may be the only guy she likes,

but you treat her like a sidekick.

So she really wanted to leave.

Yeah.

You really broke your sidekick's heart.

You haven't been a very good big bro.

I'll try.

I'll try to settle in a bit more.

You've got this.

You can do it.

You came on this show,

so you must want

to have some fun.

Don't miss this chance.

Exactly.

You haven't...

I believe in you.

You really haven't experienced

the romantic drama we've been through.

[A sworn alliance at the bar] Come on, the three of us.

Come on.

You two are so nice.

You're one of us now.

Just think of us as your bros.

Okay.

We're the Changsha Twin Stars.

The Changsha Twin Stars.

Both stars came crashing down today.

Before we headed out,

he was still so full of confidence.

Come on, let's take a walk over there.

Let's walk.

Come on.

When do we give out Moonstones today?

No rush.

Let's go for now.

Let's chat.

Look at the three of us walking.

No cameras are following us.

Clearly, none of us has a love story.

[Three platonic buddies] Nothing to edit.

We're just buddies. No romance.

You just said that...

[A cameraman rushes over] And now one's here.

None were following us.

The two of us can...

You stand in the middle. We'll...

You go in the middle.

We'll protect you.

Protect you.

Okay.

Even though we're on a dating show,

we should still

do what feels right to us.

Yeah.

Right?

Because it's a...

It's an unscripted environment.

And I think

there's no need to force anything.

Yeah, no need to force it.

Just follow your heart. Yeah.

If you like a guy, vote for him.

Don't save your votes for us. It's okay.

Who's that with who?

Why are there three...

Two people.

Who's that?

The one in black.

[Let me get a closer look]

[Uh-oh!] Let's go.

Looks like Annie.

[Annie, I can't lose you] Is that Annie?

Annie and Liang Yongfeng.

Annie and Liang Yongfeng.

Keep your eyes shut tight.

Let's go. Retreat!

Close your eyes.

[Love makes you blind] I wish I hadn't worn my glasses.

Didn't I tell you earlier?

Every choice I've made

has been true to my own feelings.

Who's that?

Feng.

Annie.

So this...

Wait, our Gao's heartbroken.

Our Gao...

His heart's in pieces.

Where's Gao?

Gao!

Want to join us?

Dong!

The three unlucky buddies are here.

[Three unlucky buddies]

[Curious] What happened?

Let me tell you.

We just ran into two people.

I wondered why there was a light.

Then I looked up,

and Annie was talking to someone else.

[Seeing his crush on a date with someone else]

[Heartbroken]

He put his glasses on.

Who's more embarrassed here? I think...

He's a bit more embarrassed.

At least you two can get along.

Okay.

Why are you embarrassed?

I'm dying of embarrassment.

Tell us what happened.

Don't tell him any of this.

We won't.

We're not roommates.

[We're not close] We're not roommates.

It's just us three who are close.

I was just thinking,

if I were a guy,

and he were a girl,

what I did just now wasn't right.

I put a lot of pressure on him.

Maybe, to me,

I make a move because I'm interested.

So...

How do I put this?

It's not that I want to lock him down.

But if everyone keeps teasing us,

and he feels

forced to accept it,

if there's another girl he likes...

He'd feel awkward.

Yeah, he would.

And...

he wouldn't be able to relax.

I don't want to put him under that kind of pressure.

[Doesn't want to pressure Wang Sheng]

Why aren't you outside?

Why? Are they chatting?

Want to do some bench presses?

Bench presses?

How do we do that?

With those little dumbbells?

Yeah.

I can keep you company.

Warm up a bit. Better than nothing.

First, this is a dating show, right?

It's normal to have someone you like

on a dating show.

In this setting,

[Offering comfort] there are bound to be games like this.

These games give everyone a chance.

Right?

[Watching from afar] Boss,

if we just keep doing bench presses,

will we really last till the end?

Sure. You'll definitely make it.

Stop it.

You've got the best chance now, bro.

[Wants to get closer] Want to go check on them?

Want to go have a look?

Just a quick look.

Let's take a look, then come back.

Why? Is the girl you like over there?

They're all talking. Let's have a look.

[Getting closer]

Second, I think making the first move

is really no big deal.

Besides, he was absolutely loving it.

[Feeling reassured] And you're here...

I think you're being too sensitive.

I think he really enjoyed it.

Who are we talking about?

The guys in the dorm next door.

Those three guys.

Who's that girl?

The girl?

[Spots Wang Sheng]

Ren Chunxi, and...

Hu Ke'er.

Zhang Yi.

Let's go.

Are you that worried?

No, aren't they just chatting?

Just checking in on them, huh?

Yeah. Just curious. Having a look.

Aren't you checking on "Clean"?

[Who?]

[Claire Cai] What about "Clean"?

We've barely talked.

Not even a couple of sentences.

I'm the kind of person who...

If a guy doesn't

give me a slightly clearer signal,

I won't get too close to him.

[Needs a clear signal to act] I get it.

I'm like that too.

So...

And I don't like guys

who joke around too much.

I find it so...

I don't like it.

Knowing Koala,

he definitely wants to be with her.

He wants her.

Yeah.

Wait...

That guy was loving it!

Don't make assumptions.

Wait.

I have a video.

Did I record it?

No,

let me hear their stories first.

Cheer me up a bit.

Come on.

Any declarations of heartbreak?

Declarations of heartbreak?

Yes.

What's my declaration of heartbreak?

I'm never being the funny guy again.

Funny guys don't find love.

They say nice guys rank below dogs.

Funny guys rank below nice guys.

Wait.

The guy's on our left.

[He's right next to us] Keep your voice down.

Can I join you?

[Request to join the group chat] Sure.

Come on.

You probably haven't heard

Siyang's story yet.

Siyang's story?

How could you not know?

Everyone knows.

So today, Siyang

got himself all dressed up,

but when he got there...

When I saw the three of them,

it was brutal.

I was honestly...

Hi, everyone.

Where's Zhenyu?

In the bathroom.

[One more joins the chat] I was walking along here,

and from a distance, I saw

this picture-perfect couple.

They were having dinner.

[Reliving the awkwardness]

Then I noticed

Tianqing wouldn't leave.

He just sat there and wouldn't leave.

So I said, "Make some room for me."

Tianqing and I

[Friends share a seat] were cuddled up like this.

I'll play Tianqing.

Yeah, we were just like that.

It started with the three of us

chatting here, and now

the whole gang's here.

Time to go, huh?

Let's go.

The "Changsha Twin Stars" are about to fall.

Give us more airtime, okay?

Stand right at the front.

But I really want to stay.

If you want to give me Moonstones,

please do.

Attention, all islanders.

The Moon of Affection is now lit.

Please go to the Moon of Affection

for today's affection voting.

Every feeling flows like moonlight.

Every sign of affection makes the moon complete.

[Moon of Affection: Voting Begins] For whom does your full moon rise?

How did you vote?

Four and one.

One left over.

Don't tell me you gave Yi just one.

[Who got his votes?] Can't say.

[Gao to ???: 4 Moonstones]

[Gao to ???: 1 Moonstone]

[Gao to Shihan: 1 Moonstone]

[Gao to Yi: 4 Moonstones]

Yi and I

really are just good friends.

I made a point of talking to her today

because I was worried

I hadn't explained things clearly,

and she'd feel hurt.

I'd feel terrible if that happened.

But the girl I'm attracted to

is definitely Shihan.

[His crush: Qian Shihan]

I can't fool myself, right?

I still think

I should give at least one Moonstone

to the girl I'm drawn to.

Building a friendship on a dating show,

we're in a league of our own.

I think

what we have is pretty good.

Checking on my little buddy, Yi.

Otherwise, she'd be on her own

and feel so lonely.

And her friend has left too.

Yeah.

How should I put it?

I think

Gao

is really emotionally intelligent.

[Yi to Gao: 4 Moonstones] I don't know what else to say.

I'm being subtle,

but you know what I mean.

"A master of keeping everyone happy."

Yeah.

But I think

he might feel more affection for you.

That's the theme of the show.

I had a three-person date today.

You and Gao

both picked her, right?

I think I'll bump Shihan

up to three Moonstones today.

[Yongfeng to Shihan: 3 Moonstones] Because I really value

the people I spend each day with.

Even if I don't get to know her better,

I'll still give her my Moonstones.

Can you tell

which of you two she prefers?

She won't say. Yeah.

Let me just vent for a second.

On a dating show, it's really hard

to find someone who's right for you.

[Hard to find someone you like] You might feel forced into it,

and then...

Yeah.

If you're making me vote,

I'd throw them all away, honestly.

But I've got a strategy, you know.

[Shihan to Gao: 2 Moonstones] Two Moonstones.

[Shihan to Yongfeng: 2 Moonstones] And one for Dong.

That's least likely to be misread.

[Shihan to Dong: 1 Moonstone] Three-two? They'd say I have a favorite.

I don't have a favorite, okay?

[No extra affection]

How did your voting go?

I made a really wild decision.

What? All five?

Who got all five?

Can you tell me?

Who else have I talked to?

Who did you talk to? Dong?

Maybe it's because

I put him in the danger zone on day one,

and I felt a little guilty.

[Ke'er to Dong: 5 Moonstones]

He's just like I said before.

He's outgoing and gentle,

and knows how to support people.

So he really fits

what I'm hoping for.

Annie asked Dong during Truth or Dare,

or maybe it was a truth question,

how many girls

he's interested in right now.

And Dong said just one.

[Truth or Dare] How many girls are you interested in?

One.

One?

So much affection.

It's definitely her.

But I'm still wondering if it's me.

Definitely you.

I feel like

he wants to look after everyone,

so I feel

he's actually nice to everyone.

All five for her.

[Dong to Ke'er: 5 Moonstones] To me, Ke'er...

She's the one I know best,

and we get on really well.

I gave her all five both times.

I treat the five as one vote.

I told myself,

[Affection for just one] if I can only choose one person...

How many girls interest you

right now?

One.

[His affection is for one girl too] Just one.

All your affection for one girl.

All that affection. Right on theme.

[Zhenyu to Xinran: 5 Moonstones] That's the theme.

Affection.

Right on theme.

How was your chat with Zhenyu today?

We talked about relationships.

[Zhenyu asks Xinran for a private chat] Have you ever thought

about what kind of personality

would be a good match for you?

I have,

but I go with my feelings.

We need to have fun and talk easily.

[Seeking a deep connection] It's more about a mental connection.

When it comes to falling in love,

it's not like I always have...

a fixed type, I guess.

but I don't know why

I feel drawn to someone.

[No fixed type, just feelings] There's just a feeling.

Maybe we've only just met,

or spent time together once or twice,

and I'll think,

"I'm drawn to this girl."

Maybe.

How do you feel about him?

About him?

He's okay.

[Xinran to Zhenyu: 2 Moonstones] Just looking at the photos,

we don't look like a couple.

Not at all.

He's all right.

But why do I feel like

I always attract this kind of guy?

With slightly longer hair,

and a slightly brooding look,

and he's into sports.

Have you ever dated

someone like that?

I have.

The guys who like me

are all like that.

Almost all have medium-length hair.

It's so weird. Why?

I always attract that type.

I want to try a different type.

No, I mean,

Which of the guys here

do you think you'd...

None.

No one, honestly.

Actually, I think you and...

If I had to pick one, Wang Sheng.

[Wang Sheng?]

Wang Sheng is in such high demand.

Is he really that popular?

Seems so.

I didn't pick up on that.

I thought he and Ren Chunxi

seemed pretty...

They seem compatible.

Yeah, they suit each other.

One's got that cool attitude,

and the other looks all sweet,

but has a cheeky side deep down.

No.

From what I understood,

he said he needed some time

and all that.

But I didn't quite get it all,

because when we were talking,

we were both a bit incoherent.

But I don't want him to think

I'm asking him for an answer.

I'm not asking him for one,

or for anything else.

I just want to spend more time with him.

[Just wants to know him better] And I feel

I've made all the moves I can.

Before we gave out our Moonstones,

we had that talk.

I felt he was letting me down gently.

So I thought

I shouldn't give him all my Moonstones.

But I'm still most interested in him,

so I gave him two Moonstones.

[Ren Chunxi to Wang Sheng: 2 Moonstones]

No one's picking me today.

No way!

I never make the first move in love.

[Never makes the first move]

You don't want to, right?

The thought just doesn't occur to me.

When I'm

not completely sure,

I don't know whether to make a move.

[Hesitating] And there's another thing.

Someone else has already decided

she wants to get to know him.

[Wang Sheng] But honestly,

when they went on that 20-minute date,

I felt a little...

Jealous, yeah.

He saved me today.

I'm grateful.

[Claire Cai to Wang Sheng: 2 Moonstones]

What's up?

Come in.

What's up?

Just here to hang out.

Come sit down.

How did it feel when she pinned you against the wall?

I went to talk to Ren Chunxi,

and she said

she'd deliberately

knocked those blocks over.

She said she'd been trying all day

to talk to me,

starting conversations.

But I hadn't noticed.

That's it.

Nothing else.

Four Moonstones for Ren Chunxi,

and one for Claire Cai.

As for Claire,

I gave her one Moonstone

because

I like her personality,

[Likes Claire's personality] but we've barely spent time together,

so I could only give her one.

[Wang Sheng to Claire: 1 Moonstone] As for the four Moonstones,

Ren Chunxi and I

talked more today.

I was already interested in her.

[Interested in Ren Chunxi] And from what she said,

she seems to like me a little too.

So she gets one more Moonstone.

[Wang Sheng to Chunxi: 4 Moonstones] I gave her three yesterday.

One more today.

Yeah.

Sheng.

Hi. Can we talk for a minute?

Sure.

Okay.

I'll sit over here.

Right here.

Have a seat.

Are you feeling okay now?

I'm okay.

I feel much better.

I just feel

I've put too much pressure on you.

So I wanted to say,

please don't feel pressured.

[Pressuring me?] I've thought about it.

If I were a guy

and you were a girl,

what I did would've been too much.

No, not at all.

Not at all.

People might think

we're already paired up.

That would affect you,

if you wanted to meet other girls.

It might stop you

from making that choice.

And it could affect

other girls who are interested in you

and their decisions too.

If that's the case...

Can I tell you tomorrow?

[Stunned]

I can't process it all in one day.

Sometimes I can't figure things out

with so much happening

so fast.

He seems so clean-cut.

I'm not asking you to say anything now

or come up with an answer.

I don't think

there's even an answer to give.

I just want you

to feel no pressure.

Okay, don't worry.

I'm fine.

Okay.

I'll head back, then.

Go ahead.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

I'm still most interested in him.

But I felt

he was letting me down gently.

That makes me think

[Holding back] I should keep my feelings in check.

Ally.

What?

Let's go on the swing.

Finally, it's my turn on this swing.

[Moving away]

[Tug]

If I had feelings for another guy,

[Feelings for another guy] would you give up or keep trying?

Depends how strong they are.

Yeah, it depends.

What about you? You're sure, right?

I'm quite sure.

[Tianqing to Yuning: 3 Moonstones] Tonight, I gave Yuning

three Moonstones.

I'm sure about my choice.

Of course, I hope she's sure about me.

But it's still too early for that.

For now, I know she's my choice.

I fall for someone at first sight.

So you just go for looks?

You could say that.

For example, I can get possessive.

I haven't felt that from you.

You don't even know if I like you,

[Not sure if I like you] and you expect me to be

possessive like we're madly in love?

Fine.

So what I've learned today

is that you don't actually like me.

You just

didn't have anyone else to like,

so you picked someone at random.

And it happened to be me.

That's what you mean. I'm leaving.

Let's stop talking.

Silent treatment.

For at least a day.

I do feel a bit threatened.

After all, I wasn't

[Siyang to Yuning: 3 Moonstones] chosen without hesitation.

She didn't choose me wholeheartedly.

No talking for 24 hours.

We can talk again tomorrow.

Talking to Tianqing,

I felt we really had

[Yuning to Tianqing: 3 Moonstones] a connection.

But on my date

with Siyang,

the atmosphere was nice.

It was romantic,

[Yuning to Siyang: 2 Moonstones] but it didn't feel honest

or sincere.

Maybe it's just how I felt,

or my preconceptions getting in the way.

It's day two on the Island of Affection.

Still no sparks.

I seem to want to stay in my comfort zone.

Will I change in the days ahead?

I got to know a girl yesterday,

and I was really drawn to her.

Since I've met someone I like,

I should really get to know her.

[If I like her, I should get to know her]

I'm usually quite passive too.

But if this person,

as I get to know her,

turns out to be the partner I want,

I'll take a little more initiative.

[I'll take more initiative] So you wouldn't consider

any other girls, right?

Right.

That really makes my heart flutter.

[That really makes my heart flutter]

I don't want my initiative

to make him uncomfortable.

I hope it hasn't

affected his mood today.

I knocked the blocks over on purpose.

I'm a little interested in Wang Sheng.

I'd like to get to know him.

[I'm a little interested in Wang Sheng]

[Next Episode] Annie's been wanting to talk to you.

If you're willing to pick me...

I'd love to!

Look at that smile.

Gao Yuheng.

I do feel a little attracted to her.

He gave her all five both days.

They're so easy to root for.

Just be direct, right?

Let me formally invite you.

Which guy is most your type?

You.

Why did you give me your Moonstones?

I want to get to know you.

I can't decide in just two days

that I really like someone.

Why?

Xi's been really unhappy today.

I already know that.

Is she heartbroken already?

Because she and I are both quite direct.

What do you mean,

"we're both quite direct"?

Why does that sound so harsh?

Ren Chunxi, please go to the woods for your date.

There's another guy too, right?

Huang Siyang, please join the date.

What?

This is getting exciting!

One handsome guy out of four is enough.

Shouldn't a guy get a little jealous?

She didn't make me feel like she was sure about me.

[Secret]

[Affection Diary Preview]

[Totally in love]

I think those two have a chance!

Oh no, I'm rooting for them again.

Such a direct move!

That's mutual attraction for you.

Getting shy!

Okay, that's our happy ending.

It feels like

a whole love story has played out.

Yeah.

So cute! Such pure love!

They take a photo with everyone

just to get one with you.

I'm rooting for a different pair now.

I can't wait for Episode 3!

Wait.

What?

You just love watching the drama.

What does that mean?

Something to look forward to.

Sitting up now!

They're fighting over someone again.

I can barely breathe.

Losing on purpose should be easy, right?

Who should I root for?
