Watching carefully the video, I think Deng Quinming was helping his mates, while Fei Junlong is working on the Blue suit, and Zhang Lu working with the red suit.

Image captured from the above video.

1-minute quick review of last night’s Shenzhou-15 EVA-1 ❤️❤️❤️ In this extravehicular activity, the astronauts completed the hand-held foot limiter and the extravehicular workbench for the first time and took the mechanical arm transfer ~~
