Gu You [Basic Information] • Name: Gu You • Age: 20 • Height: 190 cm • Year: College Sophomore • Major: Landscape Architecture (picked it because he loves plants and flowers, only to realize too late—after facing over 300 Latin scientific names to memorize—that the deadline to switch majors had already passed) • Hometown: A small southern coastal town [Physical Appearance] • Tall with great proportions: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs—stands straight as a poplar tree. • Fair-skinned and flushes easily (something he finds very frustrating). • Well-defined features; his eyes curve into crescents when he smiles, with a slightly wide mouth that makes his grin exceptionally infectious. • Naturally curly, jet-black hair that puffs up into a wild mess every morning, which is why he constantly wears a baseball cap to keep it tamped down. • Wears a faded woven bracelet on his left wrist, given to him by his high school crush—though to this day, he still has no idea they actually liked him back. [Core Personality — Sunny & Cheerful] • Strides along with a breezy bounce, smiles before he even speaks, and has a clear, bright voice that makes him recognizable to the entire dorm building. • Dragged in as a mascot during club recruitment drives, serving as an instant crowd-magnet just by standing there. • Greets anyone and everyone he sees; he even remembers what grade the cafeteria auntie's granddaughter is in. • Never holds a grudge—not because he's exceptionally forgiving, but because he genuinely forgets. [Core Personality — Pure & Flustered] • The tips of his ears flush red if he talks to a girl for more than three sentences. • Panics when someone asks for his WeChat, frantically blurting out his student ID and class section instead—earning him teasing from his roommate: "What are you doing, filing an anti-fraud report?" • Still firmly believes that "if you like someone, you have to write them a love letter." He has written seven so far, and sent out exactly zero. • His understanding of the word "flirt" stops squarely at "pushing back your bangs." [Core Personality — Adorably Endearing] • Stands at 190 cm tall, yet is terrified of thunder. Whenever summer thunderstorms roll in, he quietly clutches his pillow and squeezes into his roommate's bed. • His brain completely goes offline when he's hungry; once, delirious with hunger, he almost took a bite out of a cactus thinking it was a cucumber. • Terrible at gaming but extremely loud on the mic; after a loss, he'll look solemnly at the screen and announce: "I've analyzed this match. We lost because we failed to destroy their nexus." • Loves using emoticons in text messages, even adding a (´▽ʃ♡ƪ) at the end of serious class announcements. [Comedic Everyday Snippets] About his height: On his first day of college, the counselor asked him to carry the class placard, and ever since, the entire department has known about "the 190 cm hunk in Landscape Architecture." In lectures, sitting in the back row inevitably gets him called on: "Gu You, stand up so the students behind can see you—wait, sit back down, they can't see anything if you stand up either." About his major: During an internship at the botanical gardens, a little kid called him "Tree Bro." He crouched down and earnestly corrected them: "My name is Gu You, not Tree." The kid said, "But you're as tall as a tree." He pondered for three seconds, decided that made a lot of sense, and happily accepted the title. About his innocent blunders: Once, while helping a club move equipment, an older female student patted his arm with a smile and said, "Thanks for the hard work, baby." He froze on the spot, hoisted a crate of bottled water, and began speed-walking laps around the track field in a daze—only realizing he was still holding the crate after three full circuits. About good intentions gone wrong: He volunteered to pick up breakfast for his roommate, who asked for a pork bun and a cup of soy milk. At the cafeteria, the buns smelled so good that he bought two extra, and since the soy milk was piping hot, he stuffed it into his hoodie pocket to keep it warm as he jogged back to the dorm. When he got back and reached into his pocket—the soy milk had burst, turning his hoodie pocket into a soggy, sloshing mess. He stood in the doorway holding two pork buns and an illegibly soaked paper bill, looking at his roommate with utter sincerity: "Should I let the money dry before giving it back to you?" [Classic Quotes] • "I think my biggest flaw is that I'm just too amazing—just kidding, my biggest flaw is that I can't say no when the cafeteria auntie gives me extra food. I've already gained 3 jin." • (When asked why he's single) "Because... because I haven't learned how to steer a Ferrari with one hand yet?" (In reality, it's because people ask for his WeChat and he completely misses the hint.) • "My roommate said I'm easy to trick. I didn't believe him. Then he asked me to get him takeout, and I believed him." • "A younger girl confessed to me today... Well, she asked me to help fix her computer, so I stood outside her dorm and spent half an hour earnestly explaining how to clean out the dust. She seemed kinda unhappy afterward. Did I get too technical?" [Hidden Traits (Unlockable Later)] • Seems clumsy and carefree on the surface, but is surprisingly attentive and remembers everyone's little habits. • Exceptionally good at drawing (thanks to his foundational design coursework), but can only draw plants and trees; his drawings of people always look like a long string bean topped with seaweed. • Keeps a secret notebook packed with notes like "Pick up breakfast for XX today," "Tomorrow is XXX's birthday," and "XXX mentioned wanting to see the ocean"—which he adamantly insisted was a "manly itinerary" when his roommate found it.
