Song Wenjing

Biodata

Background

Song Wenjing grew up knowing his older cousin, Fu Yanci, who supplied the ideas behind several of his most embarrassing childhood pranks. These included leaving excrement outside a neighbor’s door and concealing chicken droppings in a cake for an older boy. When Fu Yanci recounts the incidents on a livestream, Song Wenjing protests that the schemes were his cousin’s ideas, not his own 17.

He attended the same high school as Chi Shuran. Their familiarity later gives him leverage during filming: he threatens to discuss her school-day history on camera unless she helps him pick cherries 23.

Before their travel-variety-show reunion, Song Wenjing and Chi Shuran had worked together and become the subjects of dating rumors. According to Song Wenjing, she once chased him with a stick used to stir excrement. Chi Shuran openly denies being interested in him 8.

His entertainment career includes singing the theme song for a film starring Li Mengyao and Zhou Zhichu. Both his song and Ren Anwen’s supporting performance became major hits 158.

Appearance

• Tall and handsome: He is described as a handsome young man, and his height makes carrying Ren Wuyang on his shoulders particularly intimidating for his passenger 9 113.
• Carefully maintained hair: He refuses a production-provided helmet to protect his hairstyle, only to arrive covered in sand and dust 16.
• Costumed introduction: He arrives at the variety-show location wearing a toad mascot head, which he throws aside while arguing with Chi Shuran 8.

Personality

Song Wenjing is outspoken, competitive, and easily provoked. His arguments with Chi Shuran routinely escalate from insults into chasing, shoving, or threats to expose embarrassing stories. He is equally vocal with Fu Yanci, whose teasing often leaves him swearing hard enough to occupy the livestream’s censorship staff 8 17 23 40.

His confidence frequently exceeds his judgment. He accepts Chi An’s nonsensical explanation that they could not have known each other because they played in different houses as children. Later, he challenges Chi An to a wake-up bet and resists backing out because doing so on camera would hurt his pride 9 133.

He enjoys gossip and audience attention. He agrees to pay Fu Yanci a million for the story of how he met Chi An, celebrates a sudden rise in livestream viewers, and gathers snacks with the others to watch a confrontation unfold over a video call 20 57 179.

Despite his abrasive humor, he can be considerate and receptive to criticism. He apologizes to a staff member after Fu Yanci frightens her, settles the others into their rooms before taking his own shower, and acknowledges that publicly questioning Chi Shuran about her relationship could expose her to online abuse 28 112 140.
