Poppy is officially junior-zoned for Wei Wuxian. He sees her as his junior and as one, it's his responsibility to take care of her and be supportive to her. She came in and he kind of read her as a mess which he didn't really know what to do with because all the women in his life aren't like that — which is really just a reflection of his time. Women in his time weren't allowed to be girlfailures LMFAO. So he was like damn, who lets you live like this, Poppy?

But once he started to see her more as his junior, he was just like "I need to make sure she's okay and doing her best here". It's why he always had candy at the ready for her whenever she came to visit him in the Talking Heads. Their first conversation delighted him because he learned about the modern world and he expected to learn a lot more from her but instead it turned into him hearing out where she was and what she needed. Which made him very happy.

She's also the person he understands the least of the contestants because she's such a normie. What the hell is a video game. What the hell is a programmer. He does not understand these concepts but it's cool, it's fine, whatever! Once he stopped trying to figure out equivalents for him, he just let their relationship ride and enjoy it for what it is. And he enjoyed it a lot.

He was really, really happy when she found a love interest in Shoko. He wasn't sure what to predict for Poppy and what she'd come out of this game with but Shoko was definitely not on his radar. If he thought about it a bit, Shoko and Poppy kind of remind him of him and Lan Wangji and their dynamic. The excitable nerd with the quiet and indifferent person-standing-emoji. It's not an exact 1:1 comparison but it's close so it amused him.

He definitely wants to check in on them down the line and see if they're still together. And if they get married, he wants an invite to that wedding. He'll even bring Lan Wangji. Even though he's pretty sure Poppy would give Lan Wangji a migraine.
