LayarHijau – On Saturday, October 11, 2025, the topic of Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui’s alleged romance became a major discussion on Weibo after a gossip outlet released a video said to show the two returning to the same apartment for several consecutive days. The hashtag #reveal Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui’s relationship# quickly dominated the platform’s trending list.

In the short video, Li Yunrui was seen getting out of a car with his assistant before waiting for the assistant to leave. He then appeared to take the elevator from his eighth-floor residence to the twelfth floor, which the narrator claimed was Meng Ziyi’s apartment. The narration added that the Blossom actor had stayed there several times, fueling speculation that the two were in a romantic relationship.

The report spread rapidly, drawing intense reactions from Weibo users. Many recalled their on-screen partnership in Blossom (2024), saying their chemistry had felt “too natural to be just acting.”

“People already guessed since Blossom aired that they’d end up like Song Mo and Dou Zhao — secretly in love and finally together,” wrote one netizen. Another comment read, “This time it’s really sweet. The way they interact looks genuine, not staged.”

However, just hours after the video went viral, both artists’ studios released clarifications. Meng Ziyi’s and Li Yunrui’s teams each denied the rumor through Weibo posts, attaching screenshots from the gossip video with the large red Chinese character “假” (fake) printed over them.

Interestingly, the denials themselves triggered even more discussion. Many found the nearly identical response styles from both studios amusing. “It’s hard to tell what’s real. Lots of couples denied it before and ended up dating for real,” one user joked. Another comment said, “As long as they’re single and there’s no third party, why can’t they be close? Don’t regret it when you’re old.”

Some Weibo users even misread the character “假” (fake) as “囍” (the double happiness symbol used for weddings in Chinese culture) and teased that the two actors were “secretly married.” The humorous reactions made the topic even more popular in the comment sections.

Currently, Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui are busy filming their new drama Tigers Sniff the Rose, marking their second collaboration after Blossom. Their chemistry in the first project was warmly received by viewers, making fans eager to see them together again on screen.

As of this publication, neither Meng Ziyi nor Li Yunrui has issued any further statements beyond the official denials from their respective studios.
