Fall In Love With A Scientist Episode 12 Recap
> Fall In Love With A Scientist Recap
Zhai Qingyi asked Li Feifei if she was Yang Lanhang's girlfriend. Li Feifei playfully told him to guess, while Yang Lanhang quickly interjected that they were just friends. Li Feifei corrected him, stating that he was her life saver. She recounted how, two years prior, she had been shooting a commercial abroad when she got separated from her team during a parade.
Wearing high heels and without money or a phone, she was lost until Yang Lanhang helped her find her way. Yang Lanhang's only response was to emphasize the importance of learning English well. Zhai Qingyi suggested that Yang Lanhang should bring Li Feifei to visit their lab, but Yang Lanhang flatly refused, explaining that outsiders were not permitted in the laboratory. Seeing this, Bai Lingling discreetly excused herself, claiming she needed to study.
Guan Xiaoyu was preparing bone soup for Geng Panpan, who was recovering from an injury. Over the phone, she urged him to provide his address so she could deliver it. Geng Panpan, however, insisted he was fine and needed quiet recovery as per his doctor. He told her to check her doorstep, where she found a beautiful, latest-model bracelet.
Geng Panpan explained that it was a gift because her magazine colleague, Amy, was having a birthday tomorrow, and he didn't want Guan Xiaoyu to be the only one without a gift when others received theirs. Guan Xiaoyu was deeply touched and told him she loved it. Li Feifei mentioned to Yang Lanhang that she believed Bai Lingling had a crush on him. Yang Lanhang dismissed the idea, saying it wasn't possible. While walking, they encountered an injured stray dog.
Li Feifei was eager to take it to the animal hospital. Just then, Ouyang Yifan drove by. Yang Lanhang asked Ouyang Yifan, his childhood friend, to take Li Feifei and the dog to the vet, assuring Li Feifei that it was safe. Ouyang Yifan later returned and asked Yang Lanhang about his sudden closeness with Li Feifei. Yang Lanhang explained that he had only recently met her, and she was an endorser for his mother's SP Group.
She wanted to thank him for helping her with directions two years ago. Yang Lanhang added that he ended up paying for the meal, which Ouyang Yifan found laughable, remarking that Yang Lanhang deserved to be single. Yang Lanhang quickly retorted that he was not single. Afterward, Bai Lingling looked up Li Feifei's photos online, acknowledging her beauty but reaffirming her own.
She messaged her online boyfriend (unbeknownst to her, Yang Lanhang), complaining about not wanting to ask her professor silly questions. Her online boyfriend suggested she ask Yang Lanhang, or someone equally capable. Bai Lingling mentioned that Yang Lanhang was too busy, rumored to be attending a prestigious academic conference in Shenzhen with the professor, and wished she could go. Yang Lanhang, still posing as her online boyfriend, asked why she didn't just ask Yang Lanhang for a spot.
Bai Lingling replied that she had planned to, but his "girlfriend," a famous actress, was there, and she believed they looked well-matched. The online boyfriend asked if she cared, to which Bai Lingling stated it was none of her concern, though she admitted she disliked Li Feifei. Her online boyfriend echoed her sentiment, saying he disliked anyone she disliked.
Later, Yang Lanhang confided in Ouyang Yifan, wondering if it would be considered "unfaithful" if Bai Lingling came to like the "real him" more than his online persona. Ouyang Yifan playfully teased him for being jealous of himself. Guan Xiaoyu visited the flower shop and confirmed that Geng Panpan was indeed the one who had been sending her roses daily.
When she went to the hospital to check on him, a nurse recognized her from Geng Panpan's phone and revealed that he had willingly downgraded from a VIP room to a standard one to save money for gifts for his girlfriend. This revelation left Guan Xiaoyu feeling uneasy. She observed Geng Panpan through the glass for a moment before leaving, asking the nurse to keep her visit a secret. Professor Jiang granted Yang Lanhang two days off.
Zhai Qingyi, curious about Yang Lanhang's upcoming birthday, tried to solicit gift ideas from Zhang Yian, who showed no interest. Zhai Qingyi then approached Bai Lingling, mentioning the birthday was still four or five months away. Bai Lingling, however, suspected that Zhai Qingyi's true motive was to curry favor to attend the upcoming academic conference. Zhai Qingyi vehemently denied this, claiming his devotion to Yang Lanhang was pure.
Meanwhile, at home, Yang Lanhang and his father engaged in a heated debate about a scientific project, with his father cautioning against fanciful ideas and demanding theoretical foundations. Their mother intervened, suggesting they accompany her on a shopping trip for an important SP Group gala dinner the following week. At the same time, Bai Lingling invited Guan Xiaoyu to go shopping to buy a thank-you gift for Yang Lanhang.
After admiring Geng Panpan's gift in a shop window, Guan Xiaoyu left Bai Lingling to browse alone. While shopping, Bai Lingling spotted her father and stepmother. She tried to hide by grabbing a coat to cover herself, but her phone rang, revealing her presence. Her stepmother, calling her "Nuo," insisted that Bai Lingling join them for dinner and tried to buy her an expensive coat.
Bai Lingling refused, asserting her name was Bai Lingling and insisting on paying for the coat herself. However, her card was declined, leaving her embarrassed. At that moment, Yang Lanhang appeared, presenting her with a card and claiming she had dropped it. He then used his card, whose password was Bai Lingling's birthday, to pay for the coat. His stepmother asked if Yang Lanhang was her boyfriend, and he affirmed. Bai Lingling then swiftly declined their dinner invitation and left.
As they walked away, Bai Lingling explained to Yang Lanhang that her original name was Shi Nuoling, but she changed it to Bai Lingling after her parents' divorce, as she no longer wished to share her father's surname. She stated that she had virtually no relationship with him. She expressed her desire to return the expensive coat, but Yang Lanhang insisted it was a gift, suggesting it was to congratulate her on passing her postgraduate exams.
Bai Lingling maintained that expensive items are not always the best, but rather "what suits you is the best." She then questioned why the password to his bank card was her birthday. Yang Lanhang, trying to maintain his online persona's story, claimed he had changed it in advance to fully commit to the act. To express her gratitude, Bai Lingling invited Yang Lanhang to dinner, where they unexpectedly encountered Ouyang Yifan.
He informed them that his father was calling him back to the family company and planned to formally introduce him at the upcoming SP Group gala dinner. Bai Lingling initially mistook him for Yinfan but soon realized he was indeed Ouyang Yifan. Ouyang Yifan, after lamenting the "hardships" he faced due to Guan Xiaoyu's loyalty to Bai Lingling, shamelessly asked Bai Lingling to convince Guan Xiaoyu to break up with her current boyfriend and start a relationship with him.
He then added Bai Lingling on WeChat. When Bai Lingling tried to add Yang Lanhang, Ouyang Yifan interjected, telling her that Yang Lanhang was "not important" and to prioritize informing him immediately if Guan Xiaoyu broke up with her boyfriend. Bai Lingling, puzzled by his intense focus on Guan Xiaoyu despite his many past girlfriends, learned that Ouyang Yifan saw Guan Xiaoyu as the "only stain" he needed to erase from his dating history.
Later, Geng Panpan waited for Guan Xiaoyu at her door. Seeing the unworn bracelet on the table, he feared she disliked it. Guan Xiaoyu, however, revealed that she had only discovered the previous day that he was the one sending her roses. She confronted him about spending his family's money as a student and expressed her unhappiness that he had sacrificed his comfortable hospital stay to save money for her gifts, emphasizing that "thought matters more than money."
Geng Panpan, encouraged, finally mustered the courage to ask Guan Xiaoyu to be his girlfriend. She agreed to "try it out," encouraging him to put more thought and sincerity into his pursuit rather than focusing solely on monetary gestures. Yang Lanhang informed Bai Lingling that Doctor Li had confirmed her grandmother was in good condition.
Bai Lingling then excitedly shared her "whimsical ideas" about using CT scans to obtain heart valve shapes, then designing and 3D printing custom stents and valves. Yang Lanhang was delighted, revealing he had the exact same idea and was just discussing it with his father before his mother had dragged them off to shop.
He spoke proudly of his parents' relationship: his mother, a successful businesswoman, was the strong financial backing for his father, a passionate scientist who, in turn, had earned numerous scientific awards. Bai Lingling admired their mutual achievements and support, and Yang Lanhang expressed his wish for such understanding with his future partner. Bai Lingling then subtly mentioned Li Feifei's wealth. Yang Lanhang quickly corrected her, stating Li Feifei was not his girlfriend, as he already had someone he liked.
He then asked Bai Lingling if she had someone special in her life. Bai Lingling proudly declared she had a boyfriend who was "funny, knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, principled, diligent, and positive"—a truly wonderful person. Yang Lanhang, understanding she was describing his online persona, beamed with quiet happiness, feigning joy for her. The next day, Yang Lanhang imagined a scenario where Bai Lingling, engrossed in a book, would trip down some stairs, and he would heroically rush to save her. In reality, Bai Lingling did stumble, but it was Zhai Qingyi who swiftly caught her. Zhai Qingyi then invited Bai Lingling to lunch, playfully dismissing her plans to study.
