Internet celebrity Chen Yi has revealed a surprising development in her social circle: she and fellow personality "Watermelon Brother" Li Yue have become neighbors. What began as an online friendship has evolved into a close proximity, with both now residing in the same apartment building.

Chen Yi humorously detailed Li Yue's helpfulness, recounting how he waters her plants when she travels abroad and checks on her home during earthquakes. He also acts as a playmate for her child and regularly joins her for video game sessions. Chen Yi speculated that Li Yue's eagerness to assist might stem from a desire to earn money and move out, but his actions suggest a deeper engagement.

In a recent interaction, Chen Yi shared a fortune teller's prediction that she was a former princess who must continue practicing charity to maintain her current comfortable life. Upon hearing this, Li Yue immediately advised her to keep earning money so she could eventually move. He even offered to pay for one ping of her new residence, jokingly lamenting that he might have accidentally fulfilled his own dream of her moving away. This playful exchange highlights the evolving dynamic between the two personalities.
