Got a Crush on You Episode 3 Recap
> Got a Crush on You Recap
While struggling to program her walkie-talkie, Song Xingchen sought help from Xie Yuan and openly complained about Su Qingche's strict training methods, remarking on his poker face and lack of warmth. She mistakenly believed her comments were on a private channel, but as Liu Xinyu and others revealed, it was a public frequency, and everyone, including Captain Lu Qun, had overheard.
Lu Qun expressed sympathy for their complaints and joked that Su Qingche’s personality was why he couldn't find a girlfriend. Having heard everything, Su Qingche confronted Song Xingchen, inviting her to voice her criticisms directly. As punishment, he ordered her to clean and calibrate all the walkie-talkies the next morning. Their argument escalated, with Song Xingchen calling him a bad teacher and leaving for her CPR training.
Later, during a medical training session, Song Xingchen excused herself to rest due to her menstrual period. She awoke that night having missed the public shower's operating hours. Upon learning of her situation, Su Qingche brought medicine and hot water to her dorm, explaining that while he couldn't break the rules for the shower, he could make an exception for her well-being.
Touched by his unexpected kindness, Song Xingchen reluctantly thanked him, and he exempted her from the next morning's run. Despite the exemption, Song Xingchen was the first to arrive for the run, jogging slowly. As the rigorous 30km cross-country march began, Su Qingche showed subtle concern for her, offering warm water and taking her medical kit to lighten her load, explaining he was looking out for the team's medical instructor. The team faced a slippery slope where a rockslide occurred.
Su Qingche selflessly shielded Song Xingchen, injuring his leg in the process. As she bandaged his swollen leg, she chastised him for his recklessness, and he playfully wiped mud from her face, drawing chuckles from nearby teammates. He refused to return to camp for an X-ray, insisting on staying with his team. Later, Liu Xinyu fell behind. Song Xingchen went back to find her, and they subsequently got lost.
Their absence was reported to Lu Qun, who, furious they had left the group, organized a search party. Meanwhile, Su Qingche, whose X-ray at the camp's clinic confirmed no fracture, was informed of the missing cadets. Despite his injury, he insisted on joining the search, feeling responsible for his team members. Lost in the mountains, Song Xingchen left markers for rescuers but accidentally fell down a steep slope.
She instructed Liu Xinyu to head southwest to find the main group and report her location. Soon after, Su Qingche arrived, having tracked her down. He carefully made his way down to her, and they shared a moment of mutual concern. The main search party, with Liu Xinyu, found them at the top of the slope, and Su Qingche radioed Lu Qun to inform him they were safe and would find shelter.
As a thunderstorm broke, the pair took refuge in a dilapidated hut. Su Qingche found and grilled sweet potatoes, remarking on the importance of survival skills. Watching him, Song Xingchen felt a surge of reliability and safety, though she mentally dismissed her racing heart as a physiological response—dopamine and adrenaline—rather than romantic feelings. In a frank conversation, she revealed that her lingerie shop was a temporary venture and that he had been her unsuccessful blind date, which surprised him.
Just as their conversation deepened, the rescue team located them. To prolong her care, Su Qingche secretly asked Lu Qun to pretend his injury was worse than it was. Back at camp, Lu Qun teased Su Qingche about faking his injury to keep Song Xingchen's attention, which Su Qingche happily admitted. Lu Qun then advised him to use psychological theories like the suspension bridge effect and the two-factor theory of emotion to win her over.
Song Xingchen, who overheard, mulled over the concepts, attributing any feelings to their shared dangerous experience. When she brought him a medicinal soup, Su Qingche shamelessly asked for her WeChat contact. After a moment of hesitation, she added him. Meanwhile, celebrity Gao Qingyin called Su Qingche to check on him, informing him of her imminent return. Shortly after, Su Qingche received an urgent call from a foreign contact named Charlie about a devastating earthquake on an island.
He prepared to depart immediately. He tried to say goodbye to Song Xingchen, but they narrowly missed each other. Rushed by Lu Qun, his phone died at the airport before he could send a message, forcing him to ask Lu Qun to inform his grandfather and Song Xingchen. When Song Xingchen finished her training and found his phone was off, she mistakenly believed he was ignoring her. At the same time, Liu Xinyu, about to leave for international flights, exchanged contacts with Song Xingchen and apologized for getting them lost, an apology Song Xingchen graciously accepted.
