All I Want for Love Is You Episode 1 Recap
> All I Want for Love Is You Recap
In a dream sequence, a woman in red and a man in white stood opposite each other amidst ancient buildings. The woman passionately urged the man to surrender to her will, but then assassins in black attacked. The woman protected the man, inadvertently tearing his clothes in the struggle, revealing his underwear, which embarrassed her. The scene then shifted to reality, introducing Gu Xiaoman, a perpetually energetic high school student.
Her father, Gu Jiancheng, was the city’s former Sanda champion and now the chief of the Security Department at the City Central Hospital. He was known for his strong sense of justice, often acting as "Hero Gu." Gu Xiaoman's mother had passed away when Xiaoman was six years old. Xiaoman grew up with her father, learning Sanda and achieving considerable skill.
She harbored a secret crush on Zuo An, the son of Director Zuo, her father's superior, and considered him her personal idol. She believed Zuo An was exceptionally intelligent, capable of "killing us for countless times in the world of learning" if knowledge could be transformed into power. On the first day of her senior year of high school, Gu Jiancheng repeatedly cautioned Xiaoman against fighting and urged her to focus on her studies.
Xiaoman confidently promised her father that she would get into college, which reassured him. As soon as Xiaoman left the house, she encountered her childhood neighbor, Zhan Yue. The two immediately started their usual bickering, with Xiaoman resorting to her fists to subdue Zhan Yue when words failed her. Xiaoman intended to quietly wait for Zuo An on her way to school, but instead, she spotted a thief.
Driven by her sense of justice, she gave chase, inadvertently dropping her pink diary. Zhan Yue later picked it up. During her pursuit, Xiaoman spotted Zuo An, who was in his car. Noticing the commotion, Zuo An followed. The thief, angered by Xiaoman's relentless chase, teamed up with accomplices to corner her. Despite being surrounded, Xiaoman showed no fear, quickly subduing several thieves, a scene witnessed by Zuo An as he arrived.
Xiaoman successfully apprehended the thieves and returned the stolen wallet to its owner. However, she then realized her diary was missing. Upon learning that Zhan Yue had found it, she angrily confronted him to retrieve it. Their reunion instantly devolved into playful fighting, with Xiaoman chasing Zhan Yue. In the scuffle, she accidentally tore Zuo An's pants, revealing his cartoon underwear. Onlookers burst into laughter, causing Xiaoman immense embarrassment, while Zuo An remained composed, quietly walking away without a word.
The incident of Xiaoman tearing Zuo An's pants led to a school notice of criticism. Chi Yaola, who was infatuated with Zuo An, gathered a group of girls to confront Xiaoman, demanding she apologize to Zuo An. Xiaoman, feeling guilty, agreed to apologize. However, Zuo An arrived and intervened, stating that her apology was unnecessary. Zhan Yue, witnessing Zuo An's dismissive attitude toward Xiaoman, became angry and argued with Zuo An.
During their heated exchange, Xiaoman accidentally bumped into Zuo An again, knocking him to the ground and further damaging his clothes, prompting more laughter from the bystanders. Xiaoman was even more flustered after accidentally knocking Zuo An down. To compensate him, she offered to sew his pants herself. Meanwhile, Miss Zhao, a teacher at the school, learned of Xiaoman's actions and sternly reprimanded her.
However, Zuo An defended Xiaoman, saying it was not her fault and that the matter was over. Xiaoman was deeply moved and thanked him. Zuo An remained calm and composed but, before leaving, advised Xiaoman not to get into fights anymore. Xiaoman readily promised to obey him. Later, in the classroom, Zuo An effortlessly solved a difficult problem, drawing admiring glances from the girls, while Xiaoman was lost in thought, fantasizing about Zuo An and giggling dreamily.
After school, Xiaoman continued to demand her diary back from Zhan Yue. Zhan Yue playfully teased her, making her agree to do his chores, including sweeping and mopping, and even help him deal with a group of students who were hogging their usual internet cafe. Xiaoman, having no choice, reluctantly agreed, all under Zuo An's watchful eye. Xiaoman "scared off" the boys from the internet cafe for Zhan Yue.
Afterward, the two went to a drink shop, engaging in close, playful banter, only to be spotted by Zuo An as he drove past. When Xiaoman and Zhan Yue returned home together, Gu Jiancheng, having been informed by Miss Zhao about Xiaoman's fighting, scolded Xiaoman and then reprimanded Zhan Yue. Later, Zhan Yue returned Xiaoman’s diary, but Xiaoman warned him not to reveal its contents to anyone else.
It turned out the diary was filled with Zuo An's name, containing Xiaoman's secret crush on him. Zhan Yue, after having glimpsed the diary, mocked her for admiring a "nerd," boasting about his own varied talents beyond academics. Xiaoman fiercely warned him again not to call Zuo An a "nerd" and threatened to hunt him down if he ever spoke of the diary's contents.
