Got a Crush on You Episode 15 Recap
> Got a Crush on You Recap
While Song Xingchen knew Old Mr. Su had cheated to win their game of Go, she tactfully pretended not to notice. She prepared dandelion tea for him, explaining it was good for clearing heat, as she had heard him coughing. Old Mr. Su appreciated her thoughtfulness and inquired about her online store.
Song Xingchen explained that she and a partner run the small business, acting as an agent for a brand and aiming to guide young people toward a healthy lifestyle. Feigning disinterest, Old Mr. Su offered "friendly advice" on using precise language for online marketing, revealing his subtle attention to her work. When he asked why she quit her stable hospital job, she clarified it wasn't out of whimsy.
Her former department head had been pushing for excessive medical treatments to meet performance quotas, a practice she found unethical. She asserted that a doctor's purpose is not just to earn money but to save patients and ensure safe childbirths, an achievement she truly values. Old Mr. Su agreed, noting her principles were similar to Su Qingche's.
Song Xingchen confirmed her plan to continue the store to fund her further studies and lightheartedly added that if she made enough money, she could support Su Qingche, whose rescue team salary was low. Reminding the old man that she too was a rescue team member, she earned his clear approval. Later, Song Xingchen called Han Xiaoli, recounting her intense Go and mahjong games with Old Mr. Su and admitting she nearly unleashed her true skills.
She asked Han Xiaoli to investigate an online account named "A red heart toward the sun," which Han Xiaoli confirmed had purchased a "beauty eraser" from her store and shipped it to the Su family's old house. Song Xingchen realized Old Mr. Su had been discreetly conducting a background check on her.
Unbeknownst to her, Old Mr. Su was already praising her to a friend, describing her as kind, sensible, and a perfect match for Su Qingche in values and appearance, urging his grandson not to miss this opportunity. Meanwhile, Su Qingche showed Song Xingchen to her room, which was next to his, and told her to call if she needed anything, advising her not to take his grandfather's old-fashioned remarks to heart. That night, Song Xingchen's air conditioner broke.
After her text to Su Qingche went unanswered, she heard a phone ringing from another room and entered, only to find herself in the bathroom where Su Qingche was. He quickly told her to hide in the bathtub just as Old Mr. Su knocked, wanting to check the bathwater. Su Qingche deflected him by saying a grown man needed privacy, and his grandfather left.
After the close call, Song Xingchen explained her air conditioner was broken, and Su Qingche offered her his room for the night. She took the opportunity to explore his childhood room, filled with toy cars and academic awards. She found a trophy, which he clarified was for a math competition, not driving. While looking through his photo albums, she playfully pointed to a chubby child, assuming it was him, but he corrected her, revealing it was his cousin.
She also noted he rarely smiled in his photos, and he explained he used to think it was cool. The next morning, Old Mr. Su watched his fish and remarked that his "fat pig had finally learned to root for cabbage," a clear metaphor for Su Qingche finding a girlfriend. At breakfast, he reminded Su Qingche of his parents' upcoming death anniversary and asked him to buy flowers and fruit.
When Song Xingchen offered to go along, Old Mr. Su insisted Su Qingche go alone, claiming he wanted to play chess with her. After he left, Old Mr. Su confided in Song Xingchen that Su Qingche’s parents had died in a car accident while driving to visit him when Su Qingche was a small child. He miraculously survived, saved by the rescue team that he would later join. The tragedy made him quiet and withdrawn.
Old Mr. Su noted that Song Xingchen was the first girl Su Qingche had ever brought home and expressed his sincere hope that they would settle down soon, which would bring peace to his parents' spirits. He assured her that if Su Qingche ever mistreated her, he would personally "sort him out," but Song Xingchen reassured him that Su Qingche was very good to her. Their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Gao Qingyin, whose presence immediately created tension.
At the dining table, her pointed questions to Song Xingchen about her past relationship and future domestic duties led to a tense exchange, forcing Old Mr. Su to command silence for the rest of the meal. Meanwhile, Lu Qun brought breakfast to Han Xiaoli but accidentally stepped on and broke her glasses. He took her to buy a new pair, convincing her to try contact lenses.
He then insisted on taking her to a cosmetics store, where he directed a sales assistant to give her a full makeover with a specific foundation, eyeshadow, and lipstick. After she tried on new clothes, Lu Qun was stunned by her transformation, remarking how much more "feminine" she looked. Han Xiaoli was unamused, stating her appearance was her own business.
Lu Qun then invited her to a hot pot dinner at the base for Wei Ling's first anniversary with the team, prompting Han Xiaoli to rush off to buy a gift. After breakfast, Su Qingche returned to find Gao Qingyin still there. Song Xingchen quickly pulled him away for a walk. Left behind, Gao Qingyin was called over by Old Mr. Su to look at his calligraphy pieces, "Let Go" and "Give Up."
She argued that "Pursuit" and "Perseverance" were better values, but he explained that in a life full of striving, the ability to let go is what is precious. He gently told her that he had seen her feelings for Su Qingche but also observed how his grandson had changed since meeting Song Xingchen, becoming more talkative and confident.
He stated firmly that Song Xingchen was Su Qingche's true love and that he was telling her this out of care, hoping to prevent her from getting hurt. Meanwhile, Song Xingchen and Su Qingche stopped at a small shop for tofu pudding. Su Qingche showed her his special way of preparing it with soy sauce and chili, a method his father had also come to love. The memory brought a wave of sadness over him.
Song Xingchen comforted him by taking his hand, reminding him that he still had his grandfather, his friends, and now, her. Touched, Su Qingche kissed her hand and urged her to eat. Afterwards, they bought two fresh fish to take home for his grandfather. As they left, Gao Qingyin, having pretended to go home, secretly followed them.
