"Tomorrow, he will give you a big surprise. Observe the chrysanthemum (referring to the TVC nozzles), but not too tightly."
"Chrysanthemum"/菊花 is an euphemism for the a-hole. The engine petals both look like chrysanthemum petals and is the rear exhaust port.

What could this be? The outlines could indicate a very large drone, or something else entirely.

Cockpit model most likely:
To me it looks like Soaring Dragon/Xianglong HALE drone or a similar design.

You have the bulbous head, pointy nose, narrowing body, and top mounted engine intake at the rear. We can see what looks to be wing roots that would be too proportionally small for a C919 model. The vertical stabilizer root is visible, it appears to be a single vertical rather than the V tail. These are not the characteristics of C919.

You're right, there's a wing root. Maybe it indeed is an EA-03 or a Sky Wing.
