(T/N: Omitted parts that don’t mention Yixing) 

For work reasons, I’ve interned at Go Fighting in the past. How do I say it, Zhang Yixing gives me a really different feeling from other celebrities. He really does call all seniors “gege” “jiejie” (older brother and sister), including all staff members, his posture is very humble. Once a logistics gege wanted to ask him for his autograph, he fell asleep on the sofa (wow his eyelashes are so long). The instant he was woken up by da-ge, with that blank/muddled state that he woke up in, yet he immediately said to the da-ge, “What’s wrong, gege?” I just felt that this child’s politeness really came from the heart.

I didn’t really understand the production of Go Fighting, but the entire production team’s comments of Zhang Yixing were just “innocent” “silly child”. The da-jie (older sister) who was in charge of me, she’d interacted with many celebrities. She once said: “Zhang Yixing is the spring water of the entertainment circle.” This sentence, really everyone in the production team thinks so.

The 5 geges of Go Fighting, including the five-billion film legend (Huang Bo), they’ve experienced the murkiness of the entertainment circle, they know all the evil of humans, but they care for Zhang Yixing so much. I feel that’s because they see his innocence I suppose.

Once, there were really not enough people, I went to help hold TMall’s head (that TMall mascot’s head). Once I held it, I saw someone flash to my side, I looked and it was Zhang Yixing. I said “what’s wrong?” He said “I’ll do it, I’ll do it”. He was entirely like a younger brother next door, he just held the TMall head under one arm and walked away.

Up until now, I’ve spoken to Yixing four times (approximately?), excluding that time above, there was once where I felt quite wronged. I originally belonged to the production department of Go Fighting, but then there was a bossy (staff member). He asked me to buy a coffee for him, maybe because he saw that I was an intern (the cast members were all there, and then I had a lot of work to do) but I didn’t dare say more, so I went to buy coffees back (that gege only asked me to buy one for him but I thought about it and bought it for everyone). There were many cups (and I used my own money), then distributed it to everyone. When I gave it to Yixing he said thank you, and quietly said to me: “If it isn’t a responsibility of your job you could (say) to not do it”. That instant, heart-warming!
Actually before I joined Go Fighting, I didn’t know Yixing at all, but through interacting with him, I feel he’s something like from a storybook “beautiful, innocent, dream chaser”.

That episode in Shanghai Bund, was the second time I spoke to Yixing. Before the recording, I followed a jiejie into the makeup room. Yixing had changed and was sitting in a chair reading fan letters.
I plucked up the courage to greet Yixing, his face was filled with a childish smile, “hi hahahaha my fans’ letters are really funny”, a laughter that he couldn’t hold back. Although I don’t know what the fans wrote, but he’s so personable, just like talking to a friend, and a very good child… (you can imagine his laughter during the episode of the infected zombies when Xiao Zhu was imitating him…)
