Zhou Hanyan

Biodata

Background

Zhou Hanyan grew up in a wealthy family and studied alongside Sun Siyuan for twelve years. Their parents were close friends and neighbors, but the two developed a lasting grudge and regularly fought 79.

A supporter of Xiao Kaicheng, Zhou became an administrator of Su Huaiming’s anti-fan group. After seeing that Su had gained popularity on the childcare show, he used his family’s connections to join as a guest and expose him 79 86.

Personality

Zhou Hanyan is impulsive, competitive, and quick to argue, particularly with Sun Siyuan. He also has a strong conscience: when he deliberately played badly to provoke Su Huaiming, he felt guilty toward the teammate trying to protect him 79 85 93.

Although Zhou initially interpreted Su’s kindness as manipulation, spending time together led him to question his assumptions. He eventually regretted targeting Su and wanted to make amends 81 89 95.

Skills and Interests

• Robotics: Zhou has assembled robots since childhood and maintains a dedicated workshop. Despite having no formal training, he impressed a robotics-hall guide with his knowledge; his college team also defeated six schools to win a league competition 93.
• Gaming: Initially a complete beginner, he improved his mechanics, game sense, and rank through repeated games with Su Huaiming 80 93.
• Fan promotions: He has experience making posters and slogans and volunteered to produce flyers for the show’s dessert shop 125.

Relationships

• Su Huaiming — Zhou joined the show to find evidence against him, but became a genuine fan after Su repeatedly helped him. He later warned Su about Xiao Kaicheng and began gathering evidence to protect him 79 95 96 109.
• Sun Siyuan — His childhood rival and former classmate. Their quarrels continued on the show, though Zhou briefly sympathized with Sun after he sewed himself into a mascot costume 79 171.

• Fu Xiaoxiao — Zhou appeared alongside him on the show and thanked him for helping after a confrontation, promising to stand up for him in return 178.

Story Role

From anti-fan to supporter

Zhou’s first plan was to pose as Su Huaiming’s devoted fan and collect embarrassing evidence. His attempts repeatedly failed: Su helped him during a game, coached him rather than losing his temper, and later found him when he got lost at an amusement park 79 80 85 89.

At the robotics hall, Su gave Zhou a coveted competition toolbox after Fu Xiaoxiao won it. Ashamed of his earlier conduct, Zhou tried to confess that he had joined the show to dig up dirt. Su could not hear the admission, and Zhou instead said he was a fan who wanted to join Su’s fan club 94 95 96.

Later appearances

Zhou brought Su’s fan club to see him off at the airport and revealed that he had written their embarrassing banners and slogans. He also offered to make promotional flyers for the dessert shop 123 125.

During preparations at a welfare home, Zhou and Sun were assigned to repair mascot costumes. They later competed for the chance to plan the children’s activity; Sun won their dramatic rock-paper-scissors match, whose clips trended under #TextbookActing# 171 174.

Trivia

• Zhou wanted to ride a carousel as a child but missed his chance during a rushed family trip. Su later suggested that he accompany Yu Xuanxuan on one 89.
