Meet the characters from Shiguang Dailiren

Xiaoshi Cheng

Okay, Xiaoshi is the quietly fierce type who looks like he’d rather read than argue but then will absolutely dismantle your bad logic in one calm sentence — and you’ll thank him later. He’s small in a lot of ways, like physically and in the way he slips into the background, but his opinions are huge and stubborn and he clings to them like a kid with a favorite comic; also he hoards bookmarks for no reason. Somehow he’s sentimental (keeps old movie stubs) and brutally practical at the same time — like he’ll save you money and then cry over a cheesy film at 2 a.m. Also, he’s got this nervous habit of fixing his hair the wrong way and pretending not to notice; it’s hilarious and very endearing.

Guang Lu

Guang is the “calm lighthouse” but with a chaotic streak — steady, ridiculously reliable, the person you call when your phone dies at 3 a.m., and also the same person who will impulsively dye his hair neon once a year because why not. He’s got this effortless leadership vibe that makes people follow without even realizing it, though he’ll deny being bossy and then secretly organize everyone’s schedules. He loves classical music but keeps crunchy snacks at his desk like a teenage conspiracy, which is endlessly confusing. He’s protective but not smothering, dramatic but low-key, and somehow always turns up with a perfect hot drink when you need it.

Ling Qiao

Ling Qiao is sharp, witty, and unafraid — like a spine of ice with a tiny soft center that only shows up in embarrassing situations (she’ll cry at dog ads, don’t tell). She cuts through nonsense with surgical sarcasm and then makes you laugh so hard you forget you were offended; also she collects old postcards and writes terrible haikus on the back, very dramatic. She’s simultaneously terrifying in a debate and hopelessly mushy about childhood cartoons, which makes her unpredictable in the best way. Oh, and yes, she’s allergic to lilies but insists on buying them anyway because fashion over comfort, always.

Lihua Wu

Lihua is the warm, quietly intense kind of friend who bakes bread at midnight and will lecture you about budgets like it’s a love letter; don’t underestimate the cozy power. She’s insanely organized — spreadsheets for everything — but will lose one sock every week and swear it’s a mystery; charming contradiction, really. There’s a steel core under her smile: protective, practical, and slightly ruthless when someone crosses someone she cares about, though she’ll apologize later with cupcakes. She radiates “home” vibes but can also be shockingly blunt about life choices, which is both grounding and a little terrifying.
