Crush Episode 5 Recap
> Crush Recap
Sang Wuyan interviewed indie singer Zheng Ye and casually asked why he would collaborate with the currently popular songwriter Yi Jin. Though it was an innocent question, Zheng Ye’s team thought it was an intentional jab. Soon after, the media broke the news that Wuyan had questioned the collaboration, which got her in trouble. She feared Yi Jin would come to dislike her.
The next day at school, she went to the piano room to find Su Nianqin and check his mood. He didn’t seem upset at all and even told her that the piano museum would be hosting a public event over the weekend to introduce piano music to blind music lovers. To impress Su Nianqin and create a shared interest, Wuyan said she liked pianist Chopin because his music was beautiful.
Su Nianqin commented that many people follow the crowd in liking a composer but never truly understand them. To prove she genuinely appreciated such musicians, he went home to take notes online. Over the weekend at the museum, Sang Wuyan came to watch and was randomly selected to go on stage and play a duet with Su Nianqin. To avoid revealing her identity, she kept quiet the whole time, not daring to make a sound.
Little did she know that Su Nianqin had already recognized her. Wuyan got Su Nianqin’s phone number from Teacher Li and hesitated for a long time before finally gathering the courage to call. As soon as he answered, she firmly asked if he was Yi Jin. After a pause, Su Nianqin didn’t deny it. Now Wuyan was sure—Su Nianqin was Yi Jin. Wuyan told him that a very close friend of hers had died in high school.
It was Yi Jin’s music that accompanied her through that dark time when no one else could understand. She had always wanted to thank him in person if she ever met him. After learning that Wuyan knew Su Nianqin was Yi Jin, Yu Xiaolu wanted to talk to her to prevent any leaks to the media. Su Nianqin stopped her, trusting that Wuyan wouldn’t do such a thing.
On Xiaowei’s birthday, Su Nianqin and Sang Wuyan arrived at the orphanage one after the other. Coincidentally, both had brought strawberry cake. When they left, Wuyan asked if the woman who frequently came to pick him up was his girlfriend. Su Nianqin said no. He then said he’d get to ask a question in return—but wanted to save it for later. Back home, Wuyan was delighted.
Cheng Yin, however, remarked that just because the woman wasn’t his girlfriend now didn’t mean she wouldn’t be in the future. Wei Hao pleaded with Xu Qian to return to the band. With the graduation ceremony approaching, they needed her as the lead singer. Xu Qian flatly refused, saying she didn’t have time. Wuyan, returning to campus, overheard their conversation.
As a psychology student, she analyzed that she and Wei Hao had always assumed they couldn’t live without each other—until one day, Wei Hao and Xu Qian fell for each other and kept it secret. That secrecy was what made her the angriest. Wei Hao said Xu Qian had been avoiding him. Wuyan, having sorted out her emotions, was no longer angry and urged him to win her back. A couple expressed interest in adopting Xiaowei. Wuyan was happy, but Su Nianqin disagreed, listing potential problems that could arise after adoption. The two clashed over their differing views.
