Fall In Love With A Scientist Episode 3 Recap
> Fall In Love With A Scientist Recap
Guan Xiaoyu found herself in Ouyang Yifan's car, fleeing from her mother. Ouyang Yifan playfully asked if she was in a "war between sisters" over possessions or a man, but Guan Xiaoyu clarified it was her mom, explaining she couldn't go home for a while and needed a place to hide. Ouyang Yifan offered to take her somewhere, to which she jokingly asked if he was a human trafficker. He replied that he only "steals hearts, not human bodies."
They ended up at a lively bar, then spent the night by the sea, watching the sunrise. Feeling a moment of affection, Guan Xiaoyu gently kissed the sleeping Ouyang Yifan. When he awoke, she was gone, leaving only an earring. Ouyang Yifan then realized Guan Xiaoyu was his blind date from the previous day. After getting her WeChat from his mother, he found her back at the bar, defiantly challenging a group of men.
He rescued her from the chase, admitting to himself that he was "kind of" starting to like her. Meanwhile, Bai Lingling was having lunch, frustrated that her chatting app, "Gate of Heart," was undergoing a two-day system upgrade. Zheng Minghao joined her, confirming the upgrade's duration. Bai Lingling, annoyed by his casual attitude, urged him to return to his team and boost their morale, accusing him of lacking the "demeanor of a young entrepreneur."
Zheng Minghao agreed to join his engineering team working overtime. As Bai Lingling left the restaurant, she spotted Yang Lanhang. Zheng Minghao, recognizing Yang Lanhang as the one who caused Bai Lingling's graduation delay, childishly offered to "put him in a sack and beat him," but Bai Lingling brushed him off. She then approached Yang Lanhang, apologizing for her earlier behavior, and offered him a cola as a peace offering.
Yang Lanhang, in turn, apologized for the severe outcome of her thesis defense and offered to help her with anything, even if it involved her boyfriend. However, Bai Lingling had covertly placed a remote-controlled device in his bag while he picked up the cola. Later, in class, the device in Yang Lanhang's bag started a loud countdown, disrupting his lecture and causing the students to erupt in laughter.
Yang Lanhang, realizing it was Bai Lingling's prank, confronted her outside the classroom. She retorted that he had also disrespected her by interrupting her thesis defense. Yang Lanhang declared them "even," stating he no longer felt apologetic towards her, before placing the still-buzzing device gently on her head and walking away. After checking her thesis notes, Bai Lingling discovered that the data was indeed "3 times" as Yang Lanhang had stated, not "1. 5 times" as she had written.
She realized she had wrongly accused him and regretted her prank. Unbeknownst to her, Yang Lanhang carefully held the cola bottle she gave him, hesitant to open it, until Ouyang Yifan casually grabbed and drank it, falling victim to the prank himself as it fizzed violently and spilled. Bai Lingling decided to apply for an internship at Professor Jiang's lab as a potential solution to her academic woes.
Guan Xiaoyu revealed she also applied, despite being a Chinese major, claiming it was to contribute to scientific research through "beautiful words." She excitedly recounted her romantic encounter with the "super handsome" Ouyang Yifan, mentioning she had strategically left an earring for him to find her, like Cinderella's glass slipper. Moments later, Guan Xiaoyu received a WeChat friend request from Ouyang Yifan. Her mother then called, confirming that Ouyang Yifan was the blind date she had escaped.
Realizing he must have already seen her photo, Guan Xiaoyu concluded that his charming gestures were a pre-planned deception and immediately deleted him. Ouyang Yifan, unaware of her change of heart, asked Yang Lanhang for help to pursue Guan Xiaoyu, describing her as "very special" because she was the first woman to make him "spend money," referring to the trouble she caused when he had to pay for damages from her fight.
Yang Lanhang adamantly refused to let Ouyang Yifan "do evil things to my junior sister apprentice." Guan Xiaoyu, still upset by Ouyang Yifan's perceived deception and his reputation for having countless ex-girlfriends, instructed Bai Lingling to discard any gifts or packages sent by him. Bai Lingling agreed, and later disposed of a bouquet of flowers delivered for Guan Xiaoyu. Shortly after, Bai Lingling received a text message reminder for a 7,500 yuan payment for the "Yuyue Nursing Home."
After Guan Xiaoyu left, Bai Lingling silently threw a bank card into the trash, determined not to use "that person's" money. Feeling nervous before her lab interview, Bai Lingling messaged her online friend "Forever is for Ever," who advised her to imagine the interviewers as "eggplants" to stay calm. During the interview, Bai Lingling mistakenly greeted the panel as "dear eggplants." Yang Lanhang, one of the interviewers, questioned her on the topic of her graduation thesis.
Unable to answer, Bai Lingling confessed she had "wrongly blamed Yang Lanhang and retaliated," admitted her dislike for Material Science (a major she was assigned due to low scores), and plainly stated she was only seeking the job for money. Professor Jiang was visibly displeased by her "arrogant attitude." As Yang Lanhang tried to interject, Bai Lingling apologized and walked out.
Outside, she vented her frustration to "Forever is for Ever," calling Yang Lanhang a "weirdo" for targeting her despite their earlier agreement to be "even." Overhearing or seeing her messages, Yang Lanhang, playing along, agreed with her assessment, confirming he was a "weirdo" to pacify her. Later, Zheng Minghao finally learned from a frustrated Wang Tao that Bai Lingling's online friend was named "Forever is for Ever." Yang Lanhang excitedly told Ouyang Yifan that he had successfully matched with his first love online friend so quickly.
