Crush Episode 4 Recap
> Crush Recap
Under Sang Wuyan’s “unreasonable tantrum,” Su Nianqin finally agreed to go to KFC with her. Wuyan shared everything about her past—she grew up with her childhood friend Wei Hao, met her best friend Xu Qian in sophomore year of high school, and the three of them were inseparable, from high school to college, from one city and school to another.
She thought everything remained the same until one day she saw the two of them kissing under a streetlamp—suddenly, everything felt different. When his agent came to pick Su Nianqin up, Wuyan joked, “See you tomorrow, baby’s dad.” The agent later told his family about Su Nianqin being dragged to his least favorite noisy environment—KFC. Wuyan told Cheng Yin everything that happened that day. Her bestie once again jumped to conclusions about a mysterious romance, leaving Wuyan speechless.
Wuyan learned that Xiaowei would be celebrating her birthday this month and planned to help the school organize a party for her. She invited Su Nianqin to join, but he declined. While fetching hot water, she accidentally scalded Su Nianqin’s hand. In a panic, she broke off a piece of aloe to apply on him. Smelling the aloe, Su Nianqin later asked his assistant to buy a pot of aloe for him to keep at home.
The next day, seeing the kids eating snacks in class but no one sharing with Xiaowei, Wuyan bought a bunch of snacks for her. Just as she was about to hand them over, Su Nianqin stopped her. He explained that what the children needed wasn’t snacks from the teacher. Wuyan said that within her capability, this was the biggest help she could offer.
Su Nianqin told her that if she couldn’t provide real help, it would be better to do nothing. When Wuyan questioned him, he revealed that he had also grown up in a welfare institution. That night, Su Nianqin dreamed of being abandoned. His mother handed him a box of candy and told him she would leave him there temporarily, and once things got better at home, she would take him back. Then he heard the sound of a car crash.
Waking up from the nightmare, Su Nianqin frantically played the piano, crying as he played. The next day, Teacher Li brought many oranges as teaching tools. Wuyan drew a clown face on one and gave it to Su Nianqin. After class, it started raining. Upon learning that Su Nianqin had just left, Wuyan rushed out with an umbrella. She found him calmly standing under a tree and went over to hold the umbrella for him.
She returned the handkerchief he once gave her to wipe her mouth, suggesting he use it to dry his wet shoulder. Su Nianqin hesitated, then accepted it. Under the tree, as they listened to the rain, Wuyan smelled privet blossoms, while Su Nianqin thought it smelled more like holly. Wuyan picked a leaf from the rain and gave it to him, letting him feel the serrated edges of the privet leaf.
Su Nianqin remembered that the aloe he had at home also had serrated edges. Back home, Wuyan told Cheng Yin that she had fallen for Su Nianqin at first sight, but they hadn't yet fallen into the abyss of love. Su Nianqin visited his mother’s grave. His family seemed to want him to come home, but he kept refusing. His agent, Yu Xiaolu, spoke to his family on the phone and said she would try to persuade him.
The next day, a teacher in the office saw the clown-faced orange on Su Nianqin’s desk and joked that it was as grumpy as him. Instead of getting mad, Su Nianqin laughed and even took the orange home. Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaolu ate it, throwing away the peel.
