Background / History

Little Zhu is one of Su Tingbai's longtime team members and works primarily as a photographer alongside A-Ming. By Shen Rui'an's arrival at the mountain estate, Little Zhu is already familiar with Su Tingbai's filming routines and trusted to follow his privacy instructions. 2

Su Tingbai permits Little Zhu to operate his own account and occasionally host eating streams, provided it does not interfere with his team work. Little Zhu values the stable, well-paid position on Su's team despite the supplementary income from streaming. 5

Personality

Little Zhu is curious, expressive, and food-motivated. He is immediately eager to know the identity of Su Tingbai's new guest, but accepts Su's instruction not to film Shen Rui'an's face without permission. 2

His appetite frequently supplies comic relief: he openly asks for Shen Rui'an's unfinished food, enthusiastically encourages Shen to try dishes, and is readily distracted by Su Tingbai's cooking. 16

He is also observant of Su Tingbai's changing behavior. Along with the rest of the team, Little Zhu recognizes that Su treats Shen Rui'an with unusual gentleness and increasingly sees the pair as romantically close. 3 20

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shen Rui'an's Arrival

When Shen Rui'an arrives at the estate, Little Zhu is among the first crew members to ask who he is. Su Tingbai introduces Shen as a recuperating food guest and explicitly instructs Little Zhu not to film Shen's face without permission. 2

Little Zhu quickly becomes part of the team's growing fascination with Shen's appearance and Su Tingbai's abrupt shift from reluctant host to attentive caretaker. 3 4

Food Videos and Livestreams

Little Zhu helps preserve Shen Rui'an's privacy while continuing to film the food content in which Shen participates. During barbecue streams, the camera often catches only Shen's hands or partial presence, which intensifies viewers' curiosity. 7 23

He also reacts to Su's increasingly obvious favoritism, including Su's refusal to let Little Zhu take food that Shen Rui'an may not finish. 16

Gaming and Camping

After Shen Rui'an becomes friendly with the team, Little Zhu joins him, A-Ming, Meng Meng, and Ya-ya for games. Shen's poor performance and strong preference for attractive heroes become a source of amusement for the group. 22

At the camping trip, Little Zhu helps establish the campsite and proposes restarting an outdoor livestream. He later lends Shen the camera and explains its operation, allowing Shen to film the meal and the other guests. 23 31

Protecting Shen Rui'an's Privacy

As online curiosity over Shen Rui'an escalates, Little Zhu increasingly acts on Su Tingbai's direction to conceal him from the camera. During the fried-chicken livestream, he changes the framing so Shen does not even appear in the refrigerator's reflection. 42 43

Notable Quotes

“If he can't eat it, give it to me!” 16
