Zhao Fei

Biodata

Appearance

• Feminine presentation: First appears wearing a puffy Lolita dress, twin ponytails, and delicate makeup. An Yubei, Lu Jinsheng, and Wang Meng initially mistake him for a girl 55.
• Natural voice: Has a distinctly deep, rough male voice, contrasting sharply with his dressed-up appearance 55.
• Everyday presentation: Normally behaves masculinely and does not routinely wear women’s clothing outside his content work 60.
• Performance styling: Uses elaborate dresses, wigs, carefully applied makeup, and a cutesy voice for livestreams and other publicity opportunities 60 61.

Personality

Zhao Fei is outgoing, outspoken, and eager to join the fun. When the dorm’s mushroom-poisoning incident makes them campus celebrities, he and Wang Meng openly play along with their “A University F Four” reputation rather than hiding from the attention. He also excels at drawing reserved companions into group games 60 64.

His humor is blunt and frequently suggestive. He enjoys gossip, romantic rivalry, and teasing An Yubei about his relationship with Ji Shang. His jokes toward Lu Jinsheng are explicitly described as friendly rather than malicious, although he can misjudge others: he initially discourages Wang Meng from pursuing Sun Ruochu because he assumes she will reject him 62 64 79 84.

Beneath the teasing, Zhao Fei is considerate and loyal. He reassures An Yubei that loving another man is nothing to be ashamed of, gives him privacy with Ji Shang, and volunteers to infiltrate a dangerous bar after Wang Meng is attacked 76 77 94.

• Sun Ruochu — Wang Meng’s girlfriend and later wife. Zhao Fei jokingly calls her “Sister-in-law,” partly because she offers to introduce him to her friends 79 94.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Joining the Dorm

Zhao Fei introduces himself to An Yubei, Lu Jinsheng, and Wang Meng as a cross-dressing streamer. While examining An Yubei’s expensive luggage, he asks to try cookies from an exclusive tin. Wang Meng tears it open, spilling condoms instead, and Zhao Fei wonders whether An Yubei is the student rumored to have pledged to use a thousand condoms during university 55.

Murder Mystery Game and Relationship Discovery

At the murder mystery gathering, Zhao Fei and An Yubei are on the same side, but the distracted An Yubei mistakenly identifies him as the murderer. Afterward, Zhao Fei questions An Yubei about his unusually red lips and embarrassed behavior 72 74.

He later pieces together that An Yubei and Ji Shang are dating. Rather than confronting them publicly, he walks ahead to give them privacy, then reassures An Yubei that their relationship is acceptable 76 77.

Animal Care and Everyday Friendship

• Secures two days of leave for An Yubei by telling the counselor that he needs to care for his injured father, allowing him to visit Ji Shang in a neighboring city 84.
• Shares a novel about a protagonist whose thoughts are secretly being read; this later prompts An Yubei to wonder whether Ji Shang can read his mind 87.

Exposing the Bar

After Wang Meng is hospitalized following an attack at a bar, Zhao Fei calls An Yubei and proposes obtaining the establishment’s videos as evidence. He volunteers to enter disguised as a woman and connect to its network, allowing An Yubei to access the system from outside 94.

When a guard sees through his disguise, Zhao Fei suggests sending An Yubei instead and dresses him in a schoolgirl uniform and wig. An Yubei successfully gathers evidence and alerts the police, who arrest the owner 94 95.
