【Shy yet seen as a little green tea, a secret crush mistaken for a copycat expert】
In Li Zhiyi’s eyes, Qiao Xingzhou is a “copycat expert” green tea of the Mingqian Longjing grade.
When Li Zhiyi recently bought a new red shirt.
On the surface, Qiao Xingzhou said, “Brother, you look really good in this shirt.”
But behind the scenes, he’s arranging an international agent to buy the same style shirt in green version.
Li Zhiyi: What’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying that little green tea looks better in it than I do?
——
When Li Zhiyi posted a review of a certain movie in his Moments.
On the surface, Qiao Xingzhou said, “Is it good? I didn’t really like this genre.”
But behind the scenes, he arranged an additional late-night viewing and even posted a detailed review overnight.
Li Zhiyi: What’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying that little green tea wrote a review more seriously than I did?
——
When Li Zhiyi was pressured by his family to go on blind dates.
On the surface, Qiao Xingzhou said, “Everyone would like you, Brother.”
But behind the scenes, he used all kinds of tactics to sabotage one date after another.
So, Li Zhiyi noted Qiao Xingzhou as: The Copycat Expert Little Green Tea Who’s Always Clinging to Me!
Well, a green tea should be savored, but unfortunately, Li Zhiyi has no taste.
So all of Qiao Xingzhou’s flirtatious glances were wasted on a blind man.
——
Finally, Li Zhiyi couldn’t hold back anymore: “Must you insist on being a copycat expert?”
Qiao Xingzhou who was also stunned: “Brother, I’m not a copycat expert. I just like you.”
Oh, so it turns out the little green tea actually likes me, Li Zhiyi thought.
If that’s the case, it doesn’t seem so annoying anymore.

Translator’s Note:
“Mingqian Longjing” (明前龙井) refers to a premium type of Dragon Well (Longjing) tea harvested before the Qingming Festival, which typically falls around early April in China.
“Mingqian” means “pre-Qingming,” and teas picked during this period are highly prized because the young tea leaves are tender and full of fresh flavors, as they sprout before the arrival of insects and warmer weather.
Mingqian Longjing is known for its delicate, mellow taste and smooth, fragrant profile, often considered one of the finest and most expensive green teas in China.
In Chinese slang, “绿茶” (lǜchá), which literally means “green tea,” refers to a person (often a young woman) who appears innocent, sweet, or pure on the outside but is actually manipulative, calculating, or insincere. This term is often used to describe someone who uses their outwardly innocent or naive appearance to hide self-serving intentions or to manipulate others, particularly in romantic or social situations.
