Got a Crush on You Episode 7 Recap
> Got a Crush on You Recap
Ms. Han voiced her concern to Han Xiaoli about Lu Qun's nightlife, suggesting that "birds of a feather flock together" and advising Han Xiaoli to carefully assess Su Qingche's character as well. Elsewhere, Su Qingche, agitated by Song Xingchen's delayed response to his messages, reached out to Lu Qun to check if his phone was broken. Lu Qun confirmed his phone was fine, implying Song Xingchen simply wasn't replying.
Frustrated, Su Qingche sought online advice, learning that a brief reply likely meant the person did not wish to converse further and that a simple "goodnight" would be the best response to avoid annoyance. The Polar Night Rescue team was tasked with educating elders in a nearby residential community about security and fire safety, as the old neighborhood frequently experienced thefts. The residents, wary that the team was there to force expensive security installations, initially resisted their efforts.
Lu Qun, the deputy leader, patiently demonstrated fire safety techniques, using gestures to bridge communication gaps caused by the elders' hearing difficulties. His patient approach, which included cleverly appointing two of the most vocal elders as honorary team members with official-looking certificates, won the community over. In return, the grateful residents invited the team members to their local matchmaking group.
Qiancheng, relieved at finally passing a difficult course, headed to a new elective taught by a professor from an Ivy League university. To his surprise, the new professor for New Media Economics was Tang Ruize, whom Qiancheng immediately recognized and addressed as "Uncle-in-law." Tang Ruize later learned from another staff member that Qiancheng had failed the course twice and risked losing his thesis defense eligibility if he failed again.
Concurrently, team member Lin Mu was heartbroken after Ding Weiling rejected his advances, calling him "too clingy." Lu Qun, observing this, offered Lin Mu—and an attentive Su Qingche—detailed relationship advice. He likened pursuing a woman to keeping a "fish in a pond," which should be "fed once every three days" to maintain interest. He stressed the importance of giving "freedom and space" and introduced the "push and pull" technique.
When Su Qingche asked how to handle a girlfriend meeting an ex-boyfriend, Lu Qun advised focusing on the "present" and maintaining a "broad perspective" like a "real man." Su Qingche then assigned Lu Qun to plan an upcoming Red Cross mission to transport chickenpox vaccines, highlighting the challenges of strict cold chain requirements and difficult mountain roads with no signal during the rainy season. Later, Su Qingche discovered from Song Xingchen's social media that she had injured her leg.
He rushed to her with various topical medicines, gently treated her leg, and took over all her work. When Song Xingchen mentioned her alma mater's upcoming anniversary celebration, Su Qingche tried to pick a conservative dress for her, but she playfully rejected his choice, likening it to a "nun's outfit." At the Haicheng University 20th Anniversary, Song Xingchen encountered her ex-boyfriend, Tang Ruize, who was volunteering at the registration desk.
Their former teacher, Ms. Bai, spotted them and mistakenly assumed they were married with children, praising Tang Ruize as the university's youngest professor. Song Xingchen had to clarify that they had broken up long ago. Later, the two reminisced. Tang Ruize recalled her old mango allergy, which Song Xingchen revealed she had since overcome.
She brought up a time he stood her up for a play, and a flashback revealed that he had been called away to receive a notice for an overseas study opportunity, which ultimately led to their breakup after graduation. After the event, Professor Li informed Song Xingchen that her PhD application had hit an obstacle: her chosen advisor could no longer accept students due to health issues.
Professor Li advised her to either change her research direction or wait, reassuring her that more preparation time could be beneficial. Appearing disheartened, Song Xingchen declined Tang Ruize's offer for a ride home. Later, Su Qingche called, inviting her to join the vaccine transport mission as a certified doctor, and she readily agreed. As preparations began, Gao Qingyin called Su Qingche, asking to be picked up from the airport in a few days.
Citing his busy schedule, Su Qingche delegated the task to a displeased Lu Qun. During the pre-departure briefing, Su Qingche reiterated the mission's challenges, tasking Song Xingchen with maintaining communication with local medical stations. He also quietly asked a teammate about Song Xingchen's mood, noting she had been unusually quiet since the anniversary. As the convoy departed, Tang Ruize texted Song Xingchen to hang out, but she replied that she was on a business trip.
In Song Xingchen's vehicle, teammates, prompted by gossip from Lu Qun, began asking her over the intercom if she was dating Su Qingche. Song Xingchen replied they were "just friends." In the other vehicle, Su Qingche heard this and was visibly disappointed. Lu Qun tried to console him, suggesting she was just being shy. As her teammates persisted, Song Xingchen realized the intercom was still open and that Su Qingche was listening. She abruptly went silent, leaving Su Qingche in suspense as Lu Qun urged him to remain composed.
