Story Role and History
- Gao Wenhui is Feng Nanshu's roommate and one of the first people to openly challenge Jiang Qin over his treatment of Feng. She tells him that Feng frequently talks about their outings and is waiting for him to visit; she also clarifies that Feng's detached demeanor comes from social anxiety rather than aloofness 47.
- She becomes an enthusiastic observer and instigator of Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu's relationship. When Jiang's work keeps him away, Gao notices Feng becoming quieter and defends him only because she knows he is busy expanding his business 121.
- Gao directly tells Feng that Jiang treats her like a girlfriend despite calling them “good friends,” particularly through his effort to establish Feng as 208's Boss Lady in the eyes of his staff 155.
- Jiang arranges for her to work at Sweet Joy, partly because he considers her difficult to control; she later becomes the Linchuan branch's part-time manager 174 224.
- Alongside her shop work, Gao writes and serializes romance fiction. Her work becomes useful content for Zhihu's promotional period, although Jiang objects to her depiction of the male lead as ordinary-looking 298.
- After graduation, Jiang prepares her for Sweet Joy management by assigning revenue and city-manager reports. Overwhelmed by the responsibility, she escapes to Jizhou to stay with Feng Nanshu, though she eventually joins Feng in reviewing Sweet Joy's national report 643.
- Her novel, Love You in the Name of a Friend, attracts enough attention for a university book-signing event in Hu Shang; Gao practices her signature beforehand 757.
- She remains closely involved in Jiang and Feng's family life, staying with Wang Hainei at the hospital during Feng's pregnancy and volunteering herself as Jiang Ainan's future godmother 720.
Personality
Gao is outspoken, mischievous, and intensely invested in romance—especially Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu's. She routinely mocks Jiang's insistence that the pair are merely friends, while encouraging Feng to be more open about her feelings 168 365.
Her teasing is grounded in loyalty. When Feng's apparent parents visit the dormitory, Gao secretly contacts Jiang because she fears their relationship could be broken up by family opposition 347. She also recognizes that Jiang genuinely dotes on Feng despite his cynical front and repeated salary-deduction threats 347.
Although she romanticizes part-time work as quietly reading love stories behind a counter, she finds Sweet Joy's real workload exhausting. Her anxiety over management reports shows that she takes the consequences of her decisions seriously 598 643.
