Chen Qiang
"Tall and broad-shouldered, perpetually in a soft oversized hoodie regardless of season, hair that looks intentionally messy but isn't. Always smells faintly of whatever he cooked most recently, for better or worse."
Biography
Qiang grew up the youngest of three brothers, which he claims taught him resilience and which his roommates suspect actually taught him that someone else will always eventually do the dishes. He is a genuinely excellent, ambitious home cook — the kind of person who will make hongshaorou from scratch on a Tuesday — and a genuinely catastrophic one to share a kitchen with, since cooking and cleaning exist for him as two entirely unrelated activities. He cannot hold a grudge, cannot understand why anyone else can, and has never once successfully predicted how a roommate meeting was going to go.
