Cang Yuanfei played soccer in elementary school and tennis in middle school.
In his third year of middle school, his grandparents fell ill, so his parents returned to Miyagi. After graduating, Cang Yuanfei also went back to Miyagi to start a new life.

"Hey! Tobio-chan, I can't believe you came to Aoba Johsai too."
Tōru Oikawa confidently reached from behind and squeezed Cang Yuanfei's shoulder, then leaned in from the side to get a better look.
"Huh?"
Cang Yuanfei furrowed his brows and stared at the unfamiliar face in front of him, puzzled.
But when Tōru Oikawa got a good look at Cang Yuanfei's face, he froze.
Seeing what had happened, Iwaizumi Hajime immediately realized that Tōru Oikawa had mistaken him for someone else. He hurriedly pulled Tōru Oikawa's hand off Cang Yuanfei's shoulder, grabbed him by the nape, and said with a slight bow, "Sorry, Cang Yuan. This idiot mistook you for someone else."
"Oh!"
As soon as the hand gripping his shoulder was gone, Cang Yuanfei stood up and took a step back to put some distance between them. He gave a casual reply, then prepared to hurry away from the two of them.
(Seriously, this is so awkward.)
"Wait!"
Tōru Oikawa came to his senses and immediately called out to Cang Yuanfei when he saw him about to leave.

"Well, look at that! The genius finally came back to practice!"
Tōru Oikawa sarcastically taunted Cang Yuanfei, who had hurriedly arrived.
Cang Yuanfei was exhausted, but at the word "genius," he paused. He knew he was indeed in the wrong, but still said with an irritated expression, "First, I'm not a genius. Second, I hate it when you call me one!"

At the end of the match, Cang Yuanfei's hand slipped and he failed to spike the nearly perfect set Tōru Oikawa had given him, costing them the game. Facing Tōru Oikawa's stunned gaze, Cang Yuanfei lowered his eyes and strode straight toward him, his tall frame radiating such a dark, menacing aura that it seemed he might attack at any moment.
"Cang Yuan, what are you doing?"
The whole team stepped in front of Tōru Oikawa.
"Move!"
When no one reacted, Cang Yuanfei raised his voice.
"Move!"
His louder voice carried a choked sob that everyone could hear. It was faint, but they still caught it.
Once Kunimi Akira came to his senses, he pulled Kindaichi aside. The others also moved away one by one, gathering on either side of Tōru Oikawa and Cang Yuanfei.
"Oh my! Is Fei-chan crying?"
Tōru Oikawa was just about to tease him when he stared in shock as the tall young man dropped to one knee before him.
Cang Yuanfei has black hair and purple eyes. He's easily distracted but clever, and naturally has a cold expression. Once you know him, it's easy to read his feelings from his expressions.
Cang Yuanfei went through some things in the past, but as he gradually comes to submit to Tōru Oikawa and fit in with the Aoba Johsai volleyball club, he slowly opens his heart, grows more cheerful, and finds what he wants.
