Crush Episode 8 Recap
> Crush Recap
Su Nianqin arrived at Wuyan’s house just in time. Seeing her feverish and lethargic, he decided to take her to the hospital. While carrying her downstairs, he missed a step because of poor visibility and ended up injuring his arm and back while protecting Wuyan. The doctor diagnosed her with measles, but it wasn’t serious—she would recover after a few days of rest. Su Nianqin took her back to his place to care for her.
That night, Wuyan woke up and saw Su Nianqin in the living room reading a biography in Braille. Xu Qian helped Wei Hao wipe down the music equipment that had gotten wet from the rain. She told him she had quit the radio station and had a bunch of interviews lined up.
She said Wuyan didn’t understand her because Wuyan had the luxury of being pure, while she had to deal with the harsh realities of life and couldn’t afford that same purity. Wei Hao said he would help her make a lot of money. Wuyan asked Su Nianqin for some water. He opened the fridge but stopped midway, then used an electric kettle to boil water, believing warm water would be healthier.
Holding the boiled water her idol had specially made for her, Wuyan was very happy and asked if he watched movies. Then she realized her mistake—how could someone with a visual impairment watch movies? Su Nianqin replied that he didn’t watch movies. To him, touch was more direct than sight. Wuyan asked if he had heard her broadcast submission. When he didn’t respond right away, she touched his chest and, feeling his heartbeat, said he actually had a heart.
Su Nianqin was slightly surprised and moved by the gesture. Wuyan was still exhausted from her illness and soon fell asleep on the living room couch. Su Nianqin tried multiple times to cover her with a blanket, but she kept kicking it off. Helplessly, he put a cooling patch on her forehead, then picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. The next morning, Su Nianqin got up early to make breakfast.
While frying eggs, he accidentally got burned by splattering oil and used a piece of aloe to treat the burn. When he heard Wuyan coughing as she woke up, he quickly hid the aloe. After getting up, Wuyan saw the very burnt fried eggs and questioned whether the breakfast was edible. Xu Qian interviewed at a finance company. Although she had a good GPA and came from a good school, they rejected her because she wasn’t from a related major.
After Wei Hao and others moved their equipment out of the leaky rehearsal room, Xu Qian showed up and said that if they didn’t mind, she’d like to return to the band. After getting a call from Wei Hao and learning the rehearsal room had flooded, Wuyan called Sister Xi to ask for help finding a new space. Sister Xi and her junior Yu Xiaolu met with the band.
Xiaolu asked if they had any plans to go professional, but Wei Hao and the others didn’t want commercial interests to restrict their creativity and said they had no such plans for now. After listening to one of the band’s rehearsals, Xiaolu praised them highly and recorded a snippet to share with some friends in the music business. Wuyan helped Su Nianqin apply medicine to his burn, and he apologized for leaving without saying goodbye. Su Nianqin had a nightmare.
Wuyan turned on the light in time and kissed him, and the two officially became a couple. The next morning, Xiaolu came to visit and accidentally witnessed the lovey-dovey couple, feeling like a single person getting publicly tortured. Wuyan went home to pack up and prepare to stay at Su Nianqin’s place for a few days. She ran into Xu Qian, and they talked about relationships.
Xu Qian said she couldn’t choose her parents and, with a troubled family, she had to shoulder the responsibility. She didn’t want Wei Hao to go through it with her—she didn’t want to drag him down.
