Zhao Feifei

Biodata

Background / History

Zhao Feifei belongs to the influential Zhao Family. Her relationship with her father, Zhao Zhonghai, deteriorated after her mother’s death: their meetings routinely ended in arguments, and she avoided returning to the family home. She remained especially close to Grandma Zhao, who doted on her 25 28.

When Feifei was about ten, her mother brought home a unique experimental phone developed independently by a friend. Her mother gave it to her before dying, and Feifei treasured it for years as a keepsake 10.

At school, Feifei had an intimidating reputation within Class 16. Her classmates worried about the newly transferred Ji Chuxing sitting beside her, and a single angry demand from Feifei could silence the room 8.

Appearance

Feifei is introduced with a dashing bearing and an irritable expression after being woken from sleep 8.

• Hair: Neatly cut short 8.
• Clothing: Wears a black hoodie in her first appearance 8.
• Build: Described as having a delicate frame 8.

Personality

Feifei is hot-tempered, outspoken, and quick to confront anyone who mistreats her friends. Her language is frequently profane, and she does not defer to wealthy parents or teachers merely because of their position. She openly rebukes Zhou Ru for blaming Ji Chuxing without understanding what happened and challenges Liu Xiuping’s authority to summon a student from another class 11 25.

Her fierce manner conceals considerable affection. Despite refusing Ji Chuxing’s request for chewing gum, she immediately tosses it to her. She also restrains herself around Teacher Huang because he might contact her grandmother, whom she does not want to worry 8.

Although often impulsive, Feifei can be calculating when defending her friends. She delays releasing surveillance evidence until hostile forum users have publicly committed themselves to their accusations. She also supports Zhou Sixue’s decision to pursue legal accountability rather than retaliate physically 25 33.
