Got a Crush on You Episode 18 Recap
> Got a Crush on You Recap
The morning after a celebratory dinner, Han Xiaoli wakes up confused in Lu Qun's bed, both surprised to find themselves naked. Despite Lu Qun's attempts to leave, a drunken Han Xiaoli had adamantly pulled him back the night before, declaring he wouldn't escape her grasp. Their morning confusion and bickering echo in another room, where Tang Ruize wakes to find a naked Su Qingche beside him. They too question each other's presence, leading to a loud argument.
Their teammates, drawn by the commotion, intervene and play a video revealing their drunken antics from the previous night. The video shows Su Qingche and Tang Ruize embracing and affectionately calling each other "buddies for life," with Tang Ruize even playfully threatening Su Qingche if he dared to bully Song Xingchen. Mortified, both men demand the video be deleted, but a teammate admits he has already shared it with Song Xingchen. Song Xingchen sees the video.
Meanwhile, Han Xiaoli and Lu Qun sit awkwardly in the living room. Han Xiaoli proposes a "three-point agreement" to completely forget the incident, insisting they remain "just buddies" as the previous night was a pure accident. Lu Qun questions why he shouldn't take responsibility, but Han Xiaoli firmly states they "don't click" and warns that any further mention of the incident would jeopardize their friendship. Lu Qun, though disappointed, reluctantly agrees.
Later at the shop, Han Xiaoli's unusual behavior prompts Song Xingchen to confront her. Han Xiaoli reluctantly admits she slept with Lu Qun and that she initiated it. She expresses her dilemma, calling Lu Qun a "playboy" and admitting she's unsure how to face him. Meanwhile, Lu Qun confides in Su Qingche, puzzled why Han Xiaoli, who he sees as a good girl, refuses to let him take responsibility.
He reveals he has deleted all his other female contacts, signaling his desire to pursue Han Xiaoli seriously. Their conversation is abruptly interrupted by an urgent alarm: an earthquake has struck Hezhou. Song Xingchen immediately makes a large donation to Hezhou, explaining that while she cannot physically assist due to her shop's ongoing transformation, she wishes to contribute in another way. Han Xiaoli expresses disappointment that Lu Qun left for disaster relief without informing her.
Elsewhere, Tang Ruize discovers a book Song Xingchen had given him for his birthday, stirring old feelings for her. The next day, Song Xingchen's shop faces a barrage of complaints from customers who developed allergies from their postpartum massagers. Their investigation reveals the raw materials are faulty and adulterated with fakes supplied by Yide Trading, who refuse to cooperate. They decide to recall all problematic products and offer compensation.
That evening, Tang Ruize arrives at Song Xingchen's shop with dinner and offers his help. He works all night, diligently sorting through the inventory and confirming that at least one-third of the products are fake. He then uses his connections to investigate the company. To expose Yide Trading, Song Xingchen devises a daring plan: a live blind box sale, selling products purchased from Yide Trading at cost price.
She announces that only genuine products are in the blind boxes for redemption at her shop, but if customers discover a fake, Yide Trading is responsible for ten times the compensation, and their contact information is provided for complaints. This strategy leverages public opinion to force Yide Trading's hand. Shortly after, Tang Ruize receives crucial information from a friend and immediately reports Yide Trading to the Market Supervision Bureau.
Meanwhile, Su Qingche's rescue team concludes their mission and begins disinfection efforts. Lin Mu, noticing Ding Weiling's tired, red eyes, offers her eye drops. He accidentally bumps her glasses, apologizing profusely before carefully applying the drops for her. A teammate playfully teases Lin Mu, urging him to ask Ding Weiling out for Qixi Festival. Elsewhere, Song Xingchen receives an apology letter from Yide Trading, noting its clever wording that shifts blame.
Moments later, Yide Trading's boss confronts Song Xingchen, mistakenly believing she reported him. He brazenly admits to selling fakes and attempts to bribe her into silence. When she refuses, he orders his men to smash her shop. Tang Ruize arrives just in time, revealing that "he" was the one who reported the company. He warns the boss that LYS, his company's partner, would be very pleased with their decision to choose Song Xingchen's shop after witnessing his fraudulent actions.
Defeated, the Yide Trading boss leaves. To express her gratitude, Song Xingchen treats Tang Ruize to hot pot. During their meal, Tang Ruize offers strategic business advice. As Qixi Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, approaches, Song Xingchen confides that she simply wishes for Su Qingche's safe return. Su Qingche texts her, confirming his team's mission is nearing completion and he expects to be back in two days for their date at a rooftop restaurant.
Despite receiving a new directive for his team to relocate, Su Qingche is determined to see her and instructs Lu Qun to drive as fast as possible. After a final debrief, Lin Mu attempts to invite Ding Weiling to her favorite restaurant for Qixi Festival. She declines, claiming she needs to care for her "brother" at home. She later reveals her brother is a dog she adopted during the rescue mission, jokingly suggesting she name him Lin Mu.
Just as Su Qingche is about to leave to meet Song Xingchen, an urgent report comes in about a missing child, forcing him to lead a new rescue mission. Song Xingchen waits alone at the restaurant she booked. Liang Bin, a customer, notices her solitary wait and calls Tang Ruize, who rushes to the restaurant. Upon his arrival, the staff, mistaking him for Song Xingchen's date, initiates a romantic celebration with music and flowers.
Realizing the misunderstanding, Tang Ruize takes the bouquet and presents it to Song Xingchen, explaining he is "borrowing the gesture" and that it signifies his unwavering support. Just as she accepts the flowers, Su Qingche arrives, witnessing the scene and misunderstanding the situation.
