Love Crossed Episode 13 Recap
> Love Crossed Recap
Seeking to expose Xu Guanghan, Guan Qianya stealthily entered Bayhouse through a secret passage. She began photographing the living room but overheard noises, prompting her to hide in the four men's room. She then photographed their rooms and later the private gym, capturing them exercising. Observing their opulent living, she lamented her own homeless state. Meanwhile, Xu Guanghan confronted Lei Na, demanding to know if she had revealed his door password to Granny Fu Shun.
Infuriated by Lei Na's breach of trust, he gave her one last chance to redeem herself. He ordered her to immediately replace his entire door and change the lock, stating that his mental defense barrier had collapsed and he could no longer feel safe with just a password change.
Though he initially said only he and Lei Na would know the new password, he then changed his mind, deciding to set the password himself and declaring that from now on, his only true family consisted of G4. At the same time, Guan Qianya, still hidden, observed them as Jiang Kele arrived with the beer Lu Xiao and his companions had craved. Guan Qianya assumed Jiang Kele’s role was merely that of a drinking companion.
Soon, Lu Xiao and the others became heavily intoxicated. Jiang Kele helped a dizzy Lu Xiao back to his room and, playing a game of questions and answers, pressed him about sneaking out. Lu Xiao, in his inebriated state, admitted he had gone out once to meet "her." Jiang Kele attempted to ascertain the person's identity, but Lu Xiao fell asleep before revealing more.
Jiang Kele then picked up Lu Xiao's bedside book, "Family Medical Guide," and found a photo tucked inside. She realized the picture was of the person who gave Lu Xiao his cherished teddy bear, understanding now why he held the toy so dear. Elsewhere, Xu Nian discovered Guan Qianya’s presence. He quickly pulled her into his room and questioned how she entered, learning that the secret passage Jiang Kele had found could lead outside Bayhouse.
Xu Nian warned Guan Qianya that her presence carried serious consequences if discovered. He then earnestly told her that even though their interactions within the game were through a virtual character, he, the real person behind that character, had been genuine with her. Just then, Xu Guanghan arrived, his voice booming as he called for the group. Only a sober Xu Nian emerged, prompting Xu Guanghan to demand the whereabouts of the others.
Upon hearing sounds from Xu Nian's room, Xu Guanghan grew suspicious. Xu Nian nervously tried to conceal Guan Qianya. Seeing Xu Guanghan approach, Jiang Kele suddenly burst out and threw herself at Xu Guanghan's feet, tearfully promising to never again bring them beer or loiter with them. Xu Guanghan, initially furious, recalled Lu Xiao's erratic emotional data and realized Jiang Kele's continued involvement was necessary for his experiments.
He reluctantly forgave her, even going so far as to tell her not to stop meeting them, though he emphasized the severity of her transgression. He then instructed Xu Nian to inform the two drunkards that he had visited and to ensure they sobered up. Guan Qianya, having narrowly escaped detection, was left pondering her next move, deciding she needed to meet Xu Nian again to confirm if his past actions towards her were solely under Xu Guanghan's command.
Later, Jiang Kele, fulfilling a request from Granny Fu Shun, went to a nursing home to care for Auntie Youya, who suffered from a brain tumor. There, she discovered a photo on Auntie Youya's table, featuring two boys and identical to the one Lu Xiao possessed. Auntie Youya confirmed the boy in the photo was her son. This led Jiang Kele to strongly suspect Auntie Youya was Lu Xiao's mother.
When she questioned Granny Fu Shun about the connection between her jobs at Bayhouse and the nursing home, Granny Fu Shun hinted at a deeper purpose without fully disclosing the truth, encouraging Jiang Kele to discover it for herself. Jiang Kele then reasoned that Auntie Youya must be Lu Xiao's mother and that Lu Xiao had likely sneaked out to see her. She surmised that Granny Fu Shun wanted her to inform Lu Xiao of his mother's illness.
Determined to reveal Xu Guanghan's true motives, Guan Qianya confided in Jiang Kele, explaining that Xu Guanghan had created the virtual Y4 not to make them real-life celebrities, but to control them and monopolize all profits. Jiang Kele confirmed that Guan Qianya’s intention in taking photos was indeed to expose Xu Guanghan. Guan Qianya acknowledged the potential fallout, including Jiang Kele losing her job, but promised to support her.
Jiang Kele, however, expressed deeper concern for the four men, arguing they were real humans who deserved to know the truth and the right to live freely. Inspired by this, Jiang Kele decided she needed to tell Lu Xiao about his mother's illness, and Guan Qianya resolved to seek out Xu Nian to understand his true feelings and offer him a choice. The two women then returned to Bayhouse together. Upon encountering Lu Xiao, Jiang Kele immediately confronted him.
She reminded him of his drunken confession about sneaking out to meet 'her,' asking if that person was his mother. Lu Xiao became agitated, angrily dismissing her questioning as nosy. Jiang Kele then pressed him, asking if he knew about his mother's cancer and urging him to visit her, but Lu Xiao angrily refused to listen, retreating to his room. Meanwhile, Guan Qianya approached Xu Nian.
Before she could ask her pressing questions, Xu Nian announced he had a surprise for her and promised to answer her questions afterward. He led her to a private room where they shared an intimate dance. After their dance, Guan Qianya directly asked Xu Nian if his initial approach was merely a mission from Xu Guanghan, to which he admitted it was.
He confessed that at first, he saw her as just another player, but as their interactions deepened, he found himself unable to control his feelings. He expressed his overwhelming desire to see her, to witness her happiness, and to know everything about her, concluding that he had fallen in love with her.
