| Sparks Still Flying? Wu Lei’s Sweet Smile Sets Off Fresh Rumours with Zhao Lusi (Weibo/WeTV) |
The rumour mill is spinning once again — and at the centre of it all? None other than Wu Lei (a.k.a. Leo Wu) and his dazzling Love Like The Galaxy co-star, Zhao Lusi.
Ever since the two lit up screens as the perfect celestial couple in the 2022 hit drama, fans haven’t quite been able to let go of the fantasy. In fact, it’s no longer just about what happened in the drama — it’s all the off-screen sweetness that keeps fuelling the fire.
From their flirty banter during behind-the-scenes moments to quiet little glances at public events, Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi have practically written the script for real-life romance — or at least, that’s what fans are dying to believe.
That Glance, That Smile, That Necklace...
Let’s rewind to the Tencent Starlight Awards — a night meant for trophies, but Wu Lei gave everyone something else to talk about: a not-so-secret moment where he was caught gazing at Zhao Lusi, who was busy clapping and laughing among the crowd.
Talk about a drama-worthy scene!
Then there was the Weibo Night.
Observant fans noticed the two wearing matching necklaces — cue the collective gasp of shippers everywhere.
Coincidence? Maybe. Romantic statement? Probably.
Either way, the rumour mill had fresh fuel.
The Smile That Launched a Thousand Theories
 |
Fast-forward to 2024.
Leo Wu Lei’s out promoting his new film Dwelling by the West Lake when a sweet fan moment took an unexpected turn.
A parent in the audience shared that her 12-year-old daughter thought he and Zhao Lusi were the perfect couple in the drama, and asked how he prepared for such chemistry.
Did Wu Lei give a detailed, actorly answer?
Nope. He just... smiled.
That soft, ambiguous, slightly cheeky smile that says everything and nothing at the same time. And that, of course, sent the internet into a frenzy.
"That smile is confession enough!" one netizen declared. Others weren’t far behind, shouting, “Get married already, wherever you are!”
Still, some cooler-headed fans reckon the smile was just classic Wu Lei — polite, a little shy, and famously private about his love life.
Milk Tea & Fried Chicken? The Plot Thickens...

But wait — there’s more.
Leo Wu Lei, who’s long been known for his super strict diet (he once said he avoided milk tea for health reasons), has apparently developed a soft spot for... you guessed it: milk tea and fried chicken.
And who happens to love those exact guilty pleasures? Zhao Lusi.
Coincidence? Influence? A shared midnight craving after filming?
Whatever it is, fans are drawing the dotted line between his new cravings and her known favourites — and connecting it straight to their hearts.
A Relationship or Just Really Good PR?

While the public remains split — some believing these subtle signs are a soft launch of something real, others chalking it all up to friendly chemistry and fan service — one thing’s for sure: Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi have people invested.
Are they just close friends with unreal drama chemistry? Or is there something blooming behind the scenes, beyond the cameras and curated interviews?
Only time (and maybe a future wedding announcement) will tell.
Until then, we’ve got smiles, glances, matching jewellery, and chicken cravings to keep us guessing.
