Appearance
Song Yuechi is a conspicuous, youthful-looking student with dyed yellow hair. Yu An associates the color with the morning sun and describes Song as warm, good-looking, and dimpled when he smiles 20.
- Dyed yellow hair, frequently singled out by He Li'an as his most obvious feature 14 24.
- Dimples when he smiles 20.
- Highly expressive face and body language; his moods are usually impossible to hide.
- Often energetic and physically restless, whether walking, climbing persimmon trees, or making a commotion in the pool 20 26 42.
Personality
Song Yuechi is loud, impulsive, affectionate, and emotionally transparent. He is prone to dramatic assumptions—particularly concerning Yu An and He Li'an—but his concern is sincere. He quickly shifts from treating Yu An as a suspicious stranger to valuing him as his closest friend, openly praising him and cherishing the handmade phone case Yu An gives him 10 20 24.
He is socially confident and talkative, but easily intimidated by people such as He Li'an and Sheng Yilin. Despite that fear, he does not abandon Yu An during danger: he tries to shield him during the apartment-viewing scam, begs for his rescue at the pool, and helps sustain Yu An's feigned unconsciousness 30 42.
Song is academically unmotivated, often sleeping through class and expecting to fail exams. Yu An nevertheless worries about whether Song will be able to inherit his family business 17 32.

- Recruited Yu An as the club's vice president after learning that Yu An could produce He Li'an phone cases 10.
- The Happy Club had 8,693 members, with many members interested in buying Yu An's designs 10.
- Proposed a club giveaway to generate interest and increase phone-case sales 26.
- Paid heavily for Yu An's original He Li'an phone case and helped secure further orders 9 10.
Social Perception
Though often careless in his own conclusions, Song is perceptive about changes in others' behavior.
- Recognizes He Li'an's jealousy over Yu An, even when He Li'an frames his concerns as advice 40.
- Notices when Yu An is uncomfortable with physical contact and immediately releases him after hugging him 24.
- Detects that something is wrong during the fraudulent apartment viewing, though Yu An identifies the deception more calmly 29.
- Has an instinctive sense of being watched or threatened, which leads Yu An to confirm a suspicious presence near the apartment 35.
Background
Song Yuechi initially approaches Yu An with a group of fellow students in what appears to be an attempt at intimidation. His hostility vanishes when he recognizes Yu An's muscular-man phone case as an image of He Li'an's body. He immediately buys it for 100,000 yuan and excitedly commissions more cases 9 10.
He reveals that he founded the Happy Club, a large fan club devoted to He Li'an. Song considers He Li'an an untouchable idol rather than someone to pursue romantically, calling him “the moon in the sky” who should remain available for admiration 10 11. This outlook is disrupted by Yu An's direct intention to marry He Li'an, which Song initially interprets as manipulation or brainwashing 20 26.
Over time, Song becomes Yu An's first genuine friend. He accepts Yu An's unusual manner, treasures Yu An's handmade gift, helps market the phone-case business, and eventually promises to support Yu An's pursuit of He Li'an despite believing it to be misguided 20 24 26. He also advises Yu An to make himself less available in order to “keep He Li'an hooked,” unintentionally intensifying the misunderstandings between Yu An and He Li'an 27.
Song accompanies Yu An while he searches for an apartment and is caught in a trafficking attempt. Though frightened, he refuses to flee without Yu An; Yu An ultimately incapacitates the attackers and protects him 29 30. Later, Song is targeted at the swimming pool by Sheng Yilin, who holds a grudge against Song's fiancé. Song tries to send Yu An away, but Yu An refuses to leave him and instead forces Sheng's group to rescue him after jumping into the pool despite being unable to swim 42 43.
Relationships
- Yu An — Best friend, business partner, and the recipient of Song's enthusiastic but unreliable romantic advice. Song values Yu An's loyalty above the enjoyment he pretends to have with other friends 24 26 27 45.
- He Li'an — Initially Song's idol and the object of his intense fan devotion. Song later fears and distrusts him after repeatedly misreading He Li'an's interactions with Yu An, while also recognizing He Li'an's jealousy 11 18 19 40.
- Sheng Yilin — A bully who targets Song because of a grudge involving Song's fiancé. Song is visibly afraid of him but remains beside Yu An during their confrontation 42 43.
- Song Yuechi's fiancé — Unnamed. Sheng Yilin's hostility toward Song originates from a conflict with the fiancé, who does not intervene to protect Song 43.
Story Role
- Introduces Yu An to the campus fan culture surrounding He Li'an and enables Yu An's phone-case business through the Happy Club 9 10.
- Serves as Yu An's first close friend, helping him discover the value of companionship, gifts, shared meals, and social interaction 20 24.
- Functions as Yu An's romantic adviser, although his “fishing” strategy causes Yu An to misinterpret He Li'an's reactions 27.
- Provides a contrast to Yu An's detached calmness: Song is openly frightened, excitable, and emotional, yet consistently loyal in dangerous situations 30 42 45.
- Becomes the immediate victim of Sheng Yilin's intimidation, prompting Yu An to take increasingly drastic action against Sheng 42 45.
