An amazing, funny guy that has a happy spirit. He always has your back and gives really good advice. He’s one of the best people you’ll meet. He’s at first quiet but when you let him in he’s so amazing. He’s got a good music type and is so much fun to hang out with.

Dehao is soooo funny, have you met him?
