Crush Episode 2 Recap
> Crush Recap
Su Nianqin takes Sang Wuyan to the dean’s office. Despite his poor eyesight, he accurately fills a thermos with hot water, impressing Wuyan. Back in the dorm, she tells Cheng Yin about the handsome guy she met in the park, speculates on the meaning behind his name and his personality. Cheng Yin jokingly says she should wipe the drool from her chin first. The next day at the internship school, Wuyan hears Su Nianqin playing piano—his music is beautiful.
Later at the radio station, she learns she’s been reassigned to the news department due to staff changes. Sister Xi believes the news department offers better growth and networking opportunities. To her surprise, Wuyan finds Xu Qian is also an intern there. Xu Qian still feels guilty about the kiss with Wei Hao and has wanted to apologize, but hasn’t had the chance. At a classmate’s birthday dinner, Wei Hao shows up and orders beef, claiming it’s Wuyan’s favorite.
Wuyan bluntly says she doesn’t want to talk to him. In a hallway argument at the karaoke venue, Wei Hao claims there’s nothing between him and Xu Qian and that the kiss was just drunken nonsense. He begs Wuyan to stop being childish and ignoring him. Knowing all too well that he’s full of lies, Wuyan doesn’t believe the “accident” story—especially since Xu Qian is the one who loves beef. Wuyan is allergic to it.
If Wei Hao still insists the kiss was coincidental, it’s simply irresponsible. During a video call with her parents, Wuyan’s mother urges her to consider grad school and says it would be best to clearly end things with Wei Hao. Otherwise, it’ll make it awkward for her father to deal with his friend—Wei Hao’s father. The dean wants Su Nianqin to stay on and teach permanently, but Su declines. Due to his health, he’s only filling in temporarily.
He also learns from the dean that Sang Wuyan is only there as part of her university internship and will leave in a few months after earning her credits. During a music class Wuyan is substituting, she invites Su Nianqin to play piano. He initially refuses, but after walking a few steps, he turns back and takes his seat at the piano. Wuyan teaches the children to sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” but her singing is horribly off-key.
Su Nianqin winces but follows her tune on the piano, creating a completely out-of-tune version of the song. The kids end up singing just as off-key. Halfway through, the musical genius Su Nianqin can’t take the disharmony anymore. He storms off, but after a few steps, realizing it’s inappropriate, he forces himself to return and finish the song. After class, he scolds Wuyan for treating the internship as merely a way to earn credits.
Wei Hao’s band, Taozi Band, is practicing in their studio when Xu Qian—once a member—arrives and says she’s quitting. Wei Hao’s father, on a business trip to Wuyan and Wei Hao’s school, delivers tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) from Wuyan’s father to her. Wei Hao tells Wuyan that Xu Qian quit the band and admits he might really be a jerk. At home, Sang Wuyan cooks the tangyuan and reminisces about eating them with Xu Qian back in high school. Time has passed, and friendships have changed. The next day, she shares the tangyuan her dad brought with the teachers at the internship school.
