Crush Episode 19 Recap
> Crush Recap
After Sang Wuyan returned home, she discovered that the previously dark surroundings of her neighborhood had suddenly been adorned with many small lights. Since she had always been afraid of the dark, she no longer felt terrified returning home at night. Wuyan returned to her part-time job at the radio station and found that Sister Xi had surprisingly come to the local station as well.
During their conversation, Sister Xi apologized for having once made things difficult for Wuyan at the station. She admitted that she had once liked Su Nianqin too, but when she realized he was dating Wuyan, she treated Wuyan badly out of jealousy. Later, however, she understood that even if Wuyan wasn’t around, Su Nianqin’s eyes would never land on her, so she gave up that unrequited affection.
Su Nianqin planned to reconcile with Wuyan, so he deliberately came to pick her up after work, intending to take her to dinner. However, before he could even get out of the car, he saw Wuyan getting into Wu Yu’s car. Furious and jealous, he followed them into a small restaurant. Wu Yu's friend had brought some children’s books from Japan, which he thought would be suitable for little Jie, who has autism.
So he invited Wuyan to dinner to hand over the books. Su Nianqin called Wuyan out of the restaurant and told her that unless he died, she could forget about being with any other man. When he realized she had been drinking, he grew even angrier. He kissed her forcefully, apologized, and confessed everything he’d gone through emotionally over the years.
Su Nianqin also said that once he fell for someone, he found it very hard to let go and that he was scared she had fallen for someone else. After returning home, Wuyan called Wu Yu and said they weren’t suited for a romantic relationship. Wu Yu said they could still be friends. At the research center, little Jie was agitated and happened to run into Su Nianqin, who had come looking for Wuyan.
Su Nianqin sat at the piano in the classroom and began to play. Little Jie gradually calmed down and sat beside him, listening. Su Nianqin switched his watch back and told Wuyan that once a gift is given, it shouldn't be taken back. Using the excuse of having no dance partner, Su Nianqin dragged Wuyan to a banquet. Feeling bored, Wuyan busied herself eating snacks at the table.
At that moment, a young man named Peng Ruixing approached to strike up a conversation. Curious how someone dressed so plainly had entered such an upscale event, Peng asked Wuyan. She casually replied that she was a staff member, there to test whether the food was poisoned. Amused by her response, Peng Ruixing found her interesting. However, Wuyan had no interest in chatting with someone who seemed like a rich playboy.
As she turned to leave, she accidentally pulled the tablecloth, causing a minor incident. Peng Ruixing turned out to be the young heir of Tuoluo Company and the younger brother of Miss Peng. When others started questioning Wuyan’s identity, Su Nianqin stepped forward and introduced her as his fiancée. Miss Peng had originally liked Su Nianqin a lot. Seeing this sudden "Cinderella" appear as his fiancée left her surprised and somewhat jealous.
Su Nianqin used the argument from three years ago—when Wuyan said before leaving, “If you’re willing, we’ll get married after I visit my father”—as the reason he wanted to reconcile and register for marriage. Wuyan refused. Su Nianqin and Wei Hao had a private meeting at the company. As the boss, Su Nianqin “forced” Wei Hao to talk about his relationship and marriage with Xu Qian. Wei Hao replied that it was his private life and not easy to share. But if Su Nianqin really wanted to win Wuyan back, he needed to weigh what mattered more—her or his pride. Pursuing a girl required swallowing your pride.
