Got a Crush on You Episode 12 Recap
> Got a Crush on You Recap
Su Qingche vehemently tried to clarify his relationship with Gao Qingyin to Song Xingchen, swearing he had no engagement with her and that she must have lied. Unconvinced, Song Xingchen told him that if he truly wanted to be with her, he needed to resolve the issues with Gao Qingyin first. At that moment, Tang Ruize arrived, sent by Song Xingchen's mother to pick her up from work.
Tang Ruize drove her home for her father's birthday, revealing he had already bought a cake and flowers in her name to cover for her having forgotten. At dinner, Song Xingchen's mother openly showed her approval of Tang Ruize, preparing his favorite shrimp and reminiscing about his student days.
During a birthday speech, Professor Song expressed concern for his daughter's future loneliness but respected her choice not to marry, while her mother directly urged her to find a boyfriend who met Tang Ruize's high standards. Tang Ruize diplomatically defended Song Xingchen, stating he trusted her judgment completely. Su Qingche, having come to apologize, found her apartment empty. On the drive back, Tang Ruize confessed to Song Xingchen that he had not dated anyone since their breakup.
Understanding his implication, she gently but firmly told him they could only ever be friends. She also shared her long-term plan to stabilize her business before pursuing a doctorate to work in a public hospital. As they arrived at her building, Tang Ruize held her hand, a moment witnessed by a heartbroken Su Qingche, who had been waiting downstairs.
Su Qingche left, later channeling his anger and sorrow into an intense workout, the image of Tang Ruize holding Song Xingchen's hand replaying in his mind. Meanwhile, Qian Cheng visited Tang Ruize, his professor, to get his thesis approved. He declared his allegiance to Tang Ruize, promising to help him win Song Xingchen back from Su Qingche. Tang Ruize, though cautioning him not to interfere, reluctantly gave his thesis a passing grade.
At Song Xingchen's shop, she and Han Xiaoli decided to renovate to match their new brand partner, LYS. Lu Qun immediately volunteered his and his friends' services for free. Suspicious of his motives towards Han Xiaoli, Song Xingchen was wary, but Han Xiaoli accepted. Lu Qun then persuaded a reluctant Su Qingche to join the work crew, tempting him with the opportunity to see Song Xingchen.
Su Qingche and his Polar Night team arrived and began working, and the tension between him and Song Xingchen eased slightly after she offered them water. During a break, Su Qingche playfully drank from Song Xingchen's personal water bottle. Later, feigning dirty hands, he coaxed her into wiping the sweat from his face, a moment they shared with a knowing smile. He then sincerely apologized for the incident with Gao Qingyin, explaining she had lied about being sick.
Seeing his effort, Song Xingchen forgave him and clarified that her dinner with Tang Ruize was only for her father's birthday, firmly stating she "never eats leftover grass," an idiom for not rekindling old flames. Elsewhere, Qian Cheng took on a photography assignment for a reality show and was shocked to be partnered with Gao Qingyin. She declared him an "enemy" for his association with Song Xingchen, whom she accused of stealing Su Qingche.
During the shoot, she deliberately struck difficult poses to sabotage him, but he simply took a few photos and left. To their mutual surprise, his shots won the highest score for capturing a "first love vibe." At the rescue center, a female team member recounted being harassed at the beach, prompting the idea for a public self-defense class. Su Qingche announced the team would host an official event for the Women's Federation.
Song Xingchen, who had come to visit, eagerly volunteered to participate in the demonstration, and Su Qingche offered to be her personal instructor. Their conversation was interrupted by a woman named Ms. Chen, who publicly accused Lu Qun of calling her "babe" and demanding he take responsibility. Panicked, Lu Qun secretly begged Han Xiaoli for help. Han Xiaoli stepped in, stunning everyone by declaring she was Lu Qun's wife from a "flash marriage."
An enraged Ms. Chen slapped Lu Qun before storming off. Afterwards, Han Xiaoli demanded 5,000 yuan from Lu Qun as payment for her "performance," which he reluctantly paid. The self-defense class began with Qian Cheng as the official photographer. After a demonstration of an over-the-shoulder throw, Song Xingchen volunteered to try it, and Su Qingche quickly offered to be her "assailant." The team members teased them about the romantic-comedy atmosphere.
Su Qingche playfully dodged all of Song Xingchen's attempts, clearly letting her win. Frustrated but determined, she resorted to her "killer move"—stepping hard on his foot—to finally take him down, a moment Qian Cheng happily captured on camera.
