Got a Crush on You Episode 25 Recap
> Got a Crush on You Recap
Song Xingchen was unexpectedly called home by her mother, who had discovered her daughter's acceptance letter for overseas studies. Her mother expressed her desire for Song Xingchen to prioritize marriage, insisting that she must get married before going abroad. The following day, Song Xingchen's mother visited Polar Night Rescue. The front desk staff quickly announced the arrival of "Captain Su's mother-in-law" in the team chat, leading to an enthusiastic welcome.
Su Qingche took her to his office and offered her fruit and water. Song Xingchen's mother directly questioned his intentions, stating that men should be responsible and asking about his plans for Song Xingchen, as she disapproved of her going abroad.
Su Qingche reassured her that he would be responsible for Song Xingchen for his whole life, then revealed a ring he had prepared, explaining that he had planned to propose to her that very night she told him about her studies. He expressed his deep love for her, promising to protect and care for her, and stating that time and distance were not issues as he would wait for her return.
Song Xingchen's mother was deeply moved and gave her full support, remarking that her daughter had chosen the right person. Soon after, Song Xingchen learned about Qian Cheng and Gao Qingyin's relationship and went to the rescue team to discuss it with them. Su Qingche was surprised by the news. Qian Cheng explained that he grew up in a matriarchal family where his mother, great-aunts, and even Song Xingchen were strong and assertive.
It was only when he met Gao Qingyin that he first felt truly needed by a girl, finding joy in her happiness. He passionately defended his feelings, asserting that love needs no reason and should be expressed directly. Song Xingchen, though initially surprised, urged him to treat her sister, Gao Qingyin, well. Meanwhile, Su Qingche's grandfather also arrived, having heard about Song Xingchen's plans to study abroad. He pressed Su Qingche about their relationship.
Su Qingche reassured him about his proposal plan, which delighted his grandfather, who urged him to settle the matter before Song Xingchen left. In other news, Han Xiaoli informed Song Xingchen that Wanru's online shops were all gone. Insider information revealed that R&N was under audit again for selling fake products and faced permanent closure. While acknowledging the end of Wanru's years of hard work, they agreed that it was a necessary lesson for her.
Han Xiaoli then invited Song Xingchen to the team formation's anniversary celebration the next day, insisting she dress up as the captain's girlfriend. Song Xingchen arrived at the rescue team headquarters, only to find it empty. A drone appeared, displaying a route map that led her to a stage on a lawn. Su Qingche then appeared, revealing that it wasn't the team's anniversary, but a special day just for them.
He acknowledged her past pain of abandonment and reassured her that neither time nor distance could separate them, promising to bridge the time difference and always be there for her. He presented her with a watch, explaining it would help them feel each other's heartbeat, and a necklace, a promise that he, Su Qingche, would always love her, and that one day, when she was ready, the necklace would become a ring on her finger.
He then helped her put it on, and they shared a tender moment. A year later, Song Xingchen was studying and interning at a busy hospital abroad, often working long hours and finishing surgeries, while Su Qingche continued his work with the Polar Night Rescue team. Despite the distance, they maintained daily video calls, sharing their lives and supporting each other, demonstrating that ideals and love could coexist.
The Polar Night Rescue team had expanded significantly, establishing branches in Haicheng and Sucheng, and had become more professional, capable of citywide, water, and rescue training operations. They had conducted numerous trainings and rescues over the year. As the rainy season commenced, the team received a critical mission: to enter a heavily impacted mountainous area where three tourists were missing, and to rescue flood victims.
Song Xingchen's planned return to China was delayed by two days due to an urgent surgery for a critical patient. Simultaneously, Su Qingche was preparing to lead his team on the urgent rescue mission. Meanwhile, Su Qingche questioned Lu Qun about his tendency to lie to Han Xiaoli about his dangerous missions.
When Han Xiaoli visited him at the rescue team headquarters, she discovered his old phone with an alt account linked to a "goddess group" chat, which he had been hiding in the office instead of taking home. Han Xiaoli became upset, interpreting his hidden old phone with a 'goddess group' chat as a sign of deception, and declared "Let's break up," leaving despite his desperate attempts to explain that he kept a separate phone for out-of-town missions.
Later, Su Qingche advised Lu Qun to be sincere in his explanation to Han Xiaoli after the mission. Song Xingchen, still abroad, grew increasingly worried when Su Qingche did not call or text her for an entire day. That evening, her necklace unexpectedly fell, unsettling her.
The next day, still unable to reach Su Qingche, she received a call from Han Xiaoli, who was also unable to reach Lu Qun, leading them both to suspect that Su Qingche and Lu Qun might be in trouble. Song Xingchen immediately decided to return to China, joining Haicheng University's emergency medical team to be closer to him, while Han Xiaoli remained supportive from afar. On the mountain, Su Qingche, Lu Qun, and the three stranded tourists were trapped.
Heavy rains had blocked their paths, communications were cut off, and they were running out of water. Lu Qun had sustained a leg injury, which Su Qingche bandaged. Su Qingche studied a map, hoping to find a shortcut down the mountain, and instructed his team to discard non-essential items to travel light. At the base of the mountain, Song Xingchen, now with the medical team, was informed that search efforts were intensified despite communication difficulties.
She helped treat injured villagers, including a child with a fractured leg, whom she accompanied to the county hospital in an ambulance. En route, the child suffered a severe pollen allergy, leading to breathing difficulties from a bloated throat. With no tracheal intubation kit available, Song Xingchen resourcefully used scissors, alcohol, anesthesia, and a scalpel to perform an emergency procedure, successfully saving the child's life.
Meanwhile, high up on the mountain, as Su Qingche's group began their descent, one of the tourists slipped. Su Qingche quickly grabbed him and threw him a rescue rope, but in the process, he himself lost his footing and fell, hitting his head. He briefly regained consciousness, touching the ring in his pocket, which was his sole reason to persevere, before he passed out.
