Characters[]
Jian Yi[]
He has little regard for Zheng Xi's favorite manhua, sitting on his limited edition video game while helping himself to the drink Zheng Xi was just drinking. Yi also makes himself comfortable around Zheng Xi, from leaning on him on a bus, to falling on him as they walk, to standing right next to him in a public urinal. His penchant for outlandish stories includes one in which he fights a bully to save the world and explains that his absence from school was due to being kidnapped by men in suits and ending up on a deserted island. At his most extreme, when he saw Zhan Qian, he thought it was Zheng Xi who had turned into a girl. When Zheng Xi nonverbally asked for his help with a girl who was following him, Yi's help included taking him away and announcing that they would go pee together. Even when he felt that Zheng Xi was pulling away from him, Yi said that no matter what, he was his best friend. Always quick to help, Yi would lift Zheng Xi up to help him play basketball, reasoning that Zheng Xi's hair was so hard because no one had ever patted him on the head before doing so much. Since his own hair was soft, having others touch his hair was one of the few things that irritated Yi, but he was more than happy to invite Zheng Xi to touch it after asking how he was feeling to cheer him up. Asking Zheng Xi to help him with his homework, Yi tells him that he wants to go to the same university as him.
Zhan Zheng Xi[]
Having no patience for Yi's antics, Zheng Xi would often push him away, though he does pull Yi back after he stumbles into a passerby. Thinking back to middle school, Zheng Xi notes that for some reason Yi was very popular and always let him copy his homework. He was his best friend back then. Zheng Xi was very aware that when he picked rice that had fallen into Yi's hair to be close to him, other students were watching intently. Even before that, it was Zheng Xi who approached Yi, who was alone at a school play. When he learned that Yi's mother was actually an aunt who took care of him and that he had no father, Zheng Xi wondered if he was lonely. Since that was the case, Zheng Xi assured Yi not to worry because he was there. He likes to play both handheld and console games. When Yi was discouraged by the amount of homework he had, Zheng Xi told him to come to his house and play video games. When they went out to eat, Zheng Xi prevented Yi from getting too close to the traffic and resorted to jumping after and catching Yi as he went to retrieve his dropped phone. Back at home, he is adamantly against showering or sharing a bed with Yi, but says he is handsome when asked if anyone in the class has a secret crush on him.
Zhan Qian[]
Zheng Xi is her brother with whom she lives, and Qian is happy to hug him. As a professional gamer, she is happy to hear that Yi and Zheng Xi are going to play video games and wants to play too. Qian even promises to lose on purpose to give Zheng Xi a chance. She enthusiastically shows off her new face mask, which covers her eyes, before a scene in which Yi pulls down Zheng Xi's pants after a drink is spilled on them. Qian does not join them for lunch as she plans to eat at her grandmother's later.
He Tian[]
With fawning girls around him, Tian answers that his favorite animal is a golden retriever. Acquainted with Yi, he suggests that they play ball after school. When he hears that Yi is going to the movies with someone, Tian assumes it is a date. After asking a question, Tian adds that if Yi cannot answer it, there must be something wrong with his IQ. When Yi asks what sound a cat makes, Tian assumes he is obedient. Without any meaning behind it, he sprays Yi with a hose before finding it boring that he enjoys it and they swear at each other. Regardless of the back and forth harmless behavior, Tian takes the side of Yi and Zheng Xi when a group wants to attack Yi. Even when one of the attackers, Guan Shan, uses a rock in the fight, Tian approaches him without a care in the world to casually discuss his condition before noting that he lives nearby. When Tian is threatened by Shan, he could not hear what was said before Tian grabs Shan and drags him away, intending to make him prepare food for himself.
Mo Guan Shan[]
After being accidentally walked into by Yu, he wants to physically confront him abot the matter.
