Crush Episode 16 Recap
> Crush Recap
Early in the morning, Sang Wuyan finished packing her luggage and was about to head to the airport when she ran into Yu Xiaolu, who had come specifically to find her. Yu Xiaolu told her everything about Su Nianqin’s past regrets and misunderstandings, hoping that clarifying things would ease the conflict between them. However, Wuyan felt utterly hopeless and couldn’t accept any explanation.
She only hoped that Su Nianqin would find a girl with a better temperament than hers in the future. Then she got into the car and left without looking back. After work, Xu Qian came home to find Wei Hao sitting alone, preoccupied. Wei Hao said that Uncle Sang’s passing had hit him hard—he was the kindest person he’d ever met. Now that everyone had just graduated, it felt like they had already experienced so much.
Their mindsets were no longer anything like those of students. Xu Qian said that everyone had to grow up and face reality. The couple ended up arguing again. One of them, coming from a modest background, faced life with determination; the other, raised in a complete family, still lived in an idealistic world and refused to confront real life. Su Nianqin went back to the hospital for an eye checkup, formally preparing for a corneal transplant.
Although the doctor was cautious due to the low success rate and uncertain recovery, Su Nianqin remembered how Wuyan once told him she wanted to share beautiful scenery with him. Having once used his blindness to shield himself from the world, Su Nianqin now truly wanted to see it. After some thought, Wei Hao found a regular job through a connection.
The band brothers had a farewell dinner, and after Wei Hao got drunk, a few of them told Xu Qian that the once freedom-loving Wei Hao was now willing to choose stability—all for her. If there ever came a day when she felt Wei Hao couldn’t keep up, they asked her to break it to him gently and not break his heart.
Back home, a sobered Wei Hao proposed to Xu Qian and said he wanted to take her back to his hometown. Xu Qian said she didn’t plan to get married and wouldn’t return to that hometown. They started arguing again. The next day, Wei Hao packed up and returned to his hometown alone. Eating breakfast alone in her room, Xu Qian recalled the happy times they once shared and felt deeply sentimental.
After Su Nianqin’s surgery, he chatted with his father in the hospital room and said he was willing to return home to take over the family business. Everyone was happy with his decision. Three days later, the bandages came off, and Su Nianqin finally saw sunlight and landscapes he had never seen before.
He went to the bench in the park where their school once held an autumn outing, admiring the beautiful scenery—though the person he once shared it with was no longer there. Wuyan’s mother suffered a mental breakdown due to her husband’s sudden death. Wuyan and Wei Hao noticed something was wrong. Wei Hao suggested going to the hospital, but Wuyan felt her mother was just struggling temporarily and would get better with time.
Wei Hao helped Wuyan find a local nighttime radio hosting job. She learned from colleagues that someone had once written a song titled Turns Out I Really Loved You before going silent. Despite occasional sadness, that person kept all the pain inside. Meanwhile, Su Nianqin started from scratch learning business and managing the family industry, but ever since he found out about Wuyan’s radio show, he had been listening to her program.
The two people who had separated due to a misunderstanding were growing in their own timelines. Three years later, Wuyan had become a radio host, still responsible for a show called Island Playlist. After three years of struggling in the big city, Xu Qian also started thinking about returning to her roots.
