Fall In Love With A Scientist Episode 13 Recap
> Fall In Love With A Scientist Recap
Guan Xiaoyu was frustrated by repeated rejections of her articles. She received a phone call from her mother, who informed her about a dinner party hosted by a Department Store Group next week, which required attendees to bring a companion. Initially, Guan Xiaoyu was reluctant to go, but her interest immediately piqued when her mother mentioned that Editor Tang Haojun from Fasion magazine would also be present.
Seeing this as a crucial opportunity to get into her desired magazine, she enthusiastically agreed. Her mother reminded her about the need for a male partner, and Guan Xiaoyu quickly assured her that she already had someone in mind. After work, Yang Lanhang drove Bai Lingling home, commending her innovative thinking regarding 3D printing. He then invited her to accompany him and Professor Jiang to a high-end international academic conference in Shenzhen in two days.
He highlighted that one of the keynote speakers would be a cell seeding expert, a topic he believed would be highly beneficial for her future research. Bai Lingling was excited by the opportunity but expressed concern for Di Qingyi, who she knew had been preparing for the conference for a considerable time.
Yang Lanhang dismissed her worries, assuring her that he had different, more suitable arrangements for Di Qingyi and that the conference wasn't where Di Qingyi's learning would best be served. He asked Bai Lingling to send him her ID card information so that her flight and hotel could be booked, which she was surprised and touched by.
As they were saying goodnight, Yang Lanhang repeatedly called her back, first to remind her about their plan to visit his grandmother together the next day, then again about sending her ID details, and finally insisted she say goodnight to him one last time before leaving. After she went inside, Yang Lanhang reflected on the pleasant feeling of driving home the girl he liked.
The following day, Guan Xiaoyu contacted Geng Panpan and asked him to be her male partner for the dinner party scheduled for next Friday, to which he happily agreed. Meanwhile, Yang Lanhang and Bai Lingling visited his grandmother. The grandmother was delighted to hear that the research had progressed to animal experiments and expressed her eagerness to undergo surgery soon.
She then turned her attention to Bai Lingling, encouraging her to find a serious partner and mentioning a Mr. Zheng whom she considered a good match. Yang Lanhang quickly interjected, stating that he didn't find Mr. Zheng suitable and suggested they look for other options. The grandmother, trusting Yang Lanhang's judgment, then asked him to help Bai Lingling find a good match, referring to him as an elder.
Bai Lingling protested, pointing out that Yang Lanhang was only a few years older than her, but he playfully responded that "elders are like fathers." Di Qingyi excitedly informed Zhang Yian that Yang Lanhang, whom he referred to as "guru," had requested a meeting, leading him to believe it was about the upcoming Shenzhen trip.
Zhang Yian then revealed that he was initially slated to go with Yang Lanhang and Professor Jiang, but he had voluntarily given up his spot because his wife had returned and he had more important personal matters. Immediately after, Zhang Yian received a frantic phone call from his wife, who, enraged that he hadn't checked his phone, furiously demanded he pick her up from the airport within five minutes or face divorce.
Zhang Yian pretended it was nothing, musing about the delicate balance in a marriage. As soon as Di Qingyi left, Zhang Yian swiftly departed for the airport. Di Qingyi then met with Doctor Li, who informed him that Yang Lanhang had arranged for him to assist with animal experiments the following day due to a staff shortage.
A stunned Di Qingyi realized that his anticipated trip to Shenzhen was canceled; only Yang Lanhang and Professor Jiang were going, and the third spot had been given to Professor Qi. He complained to a sheep about the injustice, noting Bai Lingling could go at her own expense while he was stuck doing grunt work. Yang Lanhang invited Bai Lingling to his place to discuss the integration of 3D printing technology into cell flap research.
During a break, Bai Lingling noticed a pot of jasmine flowers on his south-facing balcony, remarking that her online boyfriend also loved jasmine and wanted to cultivate one in a sunny spot, just like this. Yang Lanhang explained that jasmine, despite its delicate appearance, was very resilient, earning it the nickname "Undead Jasmine." He then brewed jasmine tea for her, and she commented that his natural scent was exactly like the tea.
Their conversation was interrupted by the return of Ouyang Yifan, who, upon seeing Bai Lingling, jokingly asked if Guan Xiaoyu had broken up with her boyfriend. Fearing his teasing, Bai Lingling quickly excused herself, with Yang Lanhang urging her to go home and rest for their early departure the next day.
Back at her own apartment, Bai Lingling confided in Guan Xiaoyu that Yang Lanhang was actually a good person, albeit possessing a "scientific cleanliness" that explained his rigid behavior during her defense. Guan Xiaoyu then spotted a text message from Ouyang Yifan on Bai Lingling's phone, inquiring about Guan Xiaoyu's relationship status, and promptly replied on Bai Lingling's behalf with a sharp "None of your business."
Ouyang Yifan later complained to Yang Lanhang about being "scolded" by his "girlfriend," to which Yang Lanhang merely chuckled, finding the message adorable. Upon arriving at their Shenzhen hotel, Yang Lanhang, Bai Lingling, and Professor Jiang were unexpectedly greeted by Li Feifei. She explained that she was in Shenzhen for a film shoot and, by coincidence, had just moved to their floor after finding the upper floors too noisy.
Li Feifei warmly engaged Yang Lanhang, offering to make dinner reservations for him at a French Michelin-starred restaurant, despite the usual two-week booking requirement, leveraging her connection with the chef. Professor Jiang and Bai Lingling politely excused themselves to rest, but Yang Lanhang assured Bai Lingling he would call her for dinner later. From his hotel room, Yang Lanhang messaged Bai Lingling online, expressing that he missed her, which made her feel delighted.
He then used a voice-changing feature on a separate phone to call her, reiterating his longing. Bai Lingling, both excited and surprised, noted how familiar his voice sounded. She candidly told him about her plans to explore local Shenzhen cuisine alone, explaining that she wouldn't be dining with Yang Lanhang because his "girlfriend," the female celebrity she had previously mentioned, had arrived.
She speculated that Yang Lanhang's earlier denial was likely to protect his girlfriend's career, and she wanted to give them their private time. Concerned about the cost of international calls while he was studying abroad, Bai Lingling suggested they take turns calling each other to save money, but he advised her not to worry about expenses.
After the call ended, Bai Lingling let out an excited scream, loud enough to be heard by Yang Lanhang in the adjacent room, who listened with suppressed glee. Moments later, Li Feifei arrived at his door, informing him that she had secured a table for four with the head chef. Yang Lanhang apologized, explaining his last-minute decision to change his dinner plans, and offered to cover the cost if she wished to invite others.
As she left, Li Feifei accidentally twisted her ankle in the hallway. Zhang Yian found Di Qingyi complaining about being relegated to menial tasks while Bai Lingling went to Shenzhen. Zhang Yian and Jing Jing both urged Di Qingyi to focus on his work, reminding him that he was considered a "genius of the School of Materials."
Jing Jing even offered to help him clean up, explaining that Ouyang Yinfan had an experiment scheduled for the next morning, and she wanted to prevent any potential conflict between them. Di Qingyi, still aspiring, declared that he would one day become a great scientist at the top of his field, impressing them all. Meanwhile, Ouyang Yinfan stood outside, observing Jing Jing and Di Qingyi chatting and laughing through the glass door, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Ouyang Yifan arrived to pick up his older brother, Ouyang Yinfan, from work. As Ouyang Yinfan had misplaced his keys, Ouyang Yifan helped him search, playfully suggesting he install a password lock. Ouyang Yifan then informed his brother that their mother insisted both of them attend next week's dinner party, hosted by their aunt, meaning Ouyang Yifan could no longer impersonate him. He offered to find a female companion for Ouyang Yinfan.
Ouyang Yifan then expressed his long-held frustration, recounting how years of standing in for his reclusive brother at numerous social events had created a public perception that the elder Ouyang son was scholarly and polite, while he, the younger son, was rebellious and always absent, a portrayal he found deeply unjust. Ouyang Yinfan, to Ouyang Yifan's surprise, responded by saying that briefly stepping into his shoes and receiving such public affirmation and praise must have been quite satisfying for him.
Ouyang Yinfan then clarified that he already had a female companion, so Ouyang Yifan didn't need to trouble himself. This was the most Ouyang Yinfan had spoken at once since childhood, leaving Ouyang Yifan quite astonished. As Bai Lingling walked past Yang Lanhang's room, she heard delicate cries of pain from within, specifically Li Feifei exclaiming "That hurts!" and "Be gentle!" Misinterpreting the sounds, Bai Lingling mistakenly thought Yang Lanhang and Li Feifei were engaged in intimacy.
Embarrassed, she turned to quietly close the half-open door for them, only for Yang Lanhang to suddenly grasp her hand on the doorknob, informing her that he was waiting for her to join him for dinner. At the restaurant, Li Feifei thanked Yang Lanhang for applying medicine to her sprained ankle, which finally clarified the misunderstanding for Bai Lingling. While ordering, Li Feifei, who was dieting, chose not to eat, leaving Bai Lingling and Yang Lanhang to order together.
Bai Lingling was surprised to discover their shared preference for dishes like barbecued pork in honey sauce, classic roast goose, sea urchins, and foie gras with beef rice. Later, when Bai Lingling went to the restroom, Li Feifei cornered her, directly asking if she liked Yang Lanhang. Bai Lingling calmly replied that she already had a boyfriend.
Unconvinced, Li Feifei suggested that Yang Lanhang's attentiveness towards Bai Lingling was unusual and accused her, an "ordinary girl," of using manipulative tactics to gain his affection. Bai Lingling confidently retorted that she was unique, beautiful, and inherently worthy of love, then threatened to call Yang Lanhang if Li Feifei didn't step aside, which prompted Li Feifei to back off. After dinner, Yang Lanhang sent Li Feifei away, citing the busy schedule ahead.
He then invited Bai Lingling to his room to review the outline for the next day's meeting, encouraging her to ask any questions. When Bai Lingling offered to retrieve her laptop to look up unfamiliar terms, Yang Lanhang patiently took the document and annotated all the professional terminology for her. As he finished and turned around, he found Bai Lingling suddenly writhing in severe abdominal pain.
She resisted calling an ambulance, and with heavy rain making it impossible to hail a taxi from the hotel, Yang Lanhang, without a moment's hesitation, rushed out into the downpour to find a car, getting completely soaked in the process. At the hospital, after checking on Yang Lanhang's condition, a doctor informed him that his heart was fine but cautioned him against getting drenched in the rain again.
A sick and delirious Bai Lingling murmured that she disliked ambulances, explaining that one had taken her mother away, causing her great pain. Yang Lanhang sat beside her, gently comforting her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." In her hazy state, Bai Lingling recognized Yang Lanhang's familiar scent, whispering, "You're finally back," and clung to him, pleading for him not to leave. Yang Lanhang, filled with immense pity for her vulnerability, remained by her bedside throughout the entire night.
