Before heading off to meet Yin He, he remembers his little sister Xiaoye's instructions. He ditches his big-tech-company outfit and puts together an executive look, but when he faces the radio host he's had a crush on for years, he can't get a word out.
Meng Yi ties her hair up and smiles faintly. "I'm actually not the way you imagine me. I'm not that perfect. Once people have been hurt, it's hard to put them back together."
Yin He stumbles over his words, then finally remembers the skill he's so proud of. "I... I can sew."

Ye Langlang, a doctoral graduate who has returned from abroad, has been single for thirty years. At her cousin Xiaoye's request, she goes to set up a date for the family's Dr. Border Collie.
She holds her coffee cup and asks calmly, "I've seen the photo. He looks handsome and well-proportioned, with strong limbs and a thick coat. How are his intelligence, lifespan, and fertility?"
The young man with a guitar on his back hides his unruly blue-gray hair beneath his cap. He takes off his mask, revealing the exact same face as the one on the esports poster.
Qi Jia blushes. "...Me?"
Qi Jia: "V-very good."
