welp i don’t know if anyone else will be interested but i’m gonna start a thread of some bai yu moments in 青春环游记
first, a tragedy in four acts
when asked about his fondest memories of childhood: https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍜" title="Steaming bowl" aria-label="Emoji: Steaming bowl">
"i was born in a county seat, and we all lived in house caves. and every afternoon we would gather at a spot near the front doors, each holding a bowl of noodles and eating together. i think that was the most beautiful time."

when asked about his fondest memories of his youth: https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌳" title="Deciduous tree" aria-label="Emoji: Deciduous tree">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍃" title="Leaf fluttering in wind" aria-label="Emoji: Leaf fluttering in wind">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍂" title="Fallen leaf" aria-label="Emoji: Fallen leaf">

"during self-study sessions, i& #39;d run to the exercise field with some classmates, and next to the field were some trees. and it was breezy and the weather was good, and we would sit under those trees to chat.
when we looked up at the scene of the falling leaves being blown by the wind - that feeling was especially nice."
i was initially just gonna watch the by cuts in this but the whole show is actually pretty entertaining so far? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">
also this is the maybe 4th or 5th chinese variety show that i& #39;ve watched that& #39;s sponsored by a company selling yoghurt drinks. why all the chinese yoghurt drink companies have so much money??
in this ep they play some water games, and while watching the other teams play bai yu comments, “i’m worried for all these people, they don’t even have any fighting capacity/strategy”

and for all his comments the show labels him Military Adviser Bai Yu
when it’s his turn to play he ends up the only person with a dry head i.e. he didn’t get pushed into the water at all lmao
thank you to this show for giving us oddly specific xiao bai content, exhibit a-c: a) putting a leaf fan on his head, b) stuffing his face for an eating competition, and c) doing beadwork while parasailing
continuing on: in this episode they fly to paris for filming, and even go to le cordon bleu to have a cooking segment. the budget in this show, istg
they play a game where they get points deducted for every breach in french dining etiquette. and bai yu has the most number of individual points deducted https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming">
yang di: do you think our dough will break?
wu jingyan: the whole thing is made with love, how can it possibly break?

caption in front of bai yu: focused on the art of rolling noodles for 30 years
