| Deleted Post, Shared Wardrobe? Netizens Fuel Bai Jingting x Zhang Ruonan Romance Rumours |
Looks like Zhang Ruonan’s Weibo decided to play a little disappearing act — and fans are losing it.
The rising star of The First Frost, Zhang Ruonan, sent the internet into a flurry this week when she uploaded a dreamy set of photos showing off her signature pout and a cheeky blue T-shirt. But not just any tee — it was from the GOODBAI fashion brand… owned by none other than her rumoured on- and off-screen partner, Bai Jingting.
Sound familiar? It should — that exact same tee, or one mighty similar, had already made an appearance on Bai himself. And let’s just say, fans clocked it immediately.
🧢 Spot the Difference: Same Tee, Bigger Fit?
Eagle-eyed netizens were quick to piece the puzzle. While Zhang Ruonan once wore a similar Goodbai top during a viral four-hand piano performance with Bai Jingting, this latest one looked a size up — baggier shoulders, longer sleeves, definite “borrowed from boyfriend” vibes. Fans were already convinced they shared screen chemistry. Now? They’re eyeing a shared wardrobe too.
As one Weibo comment put it:
💬 “We’re not saying they’re dating, but if the shirt fits…”
But before the ship could sail too far, the photos were gone. Zhang Ruonan swiftly deleted the post from Weibo. And just like that — puff — the dream nearly burst.

🕵️♀️ Deleted on Weibo, Still Flexin’ on Instagram?
Despite the Weibo vanishing act, the very same snaps are still sitting pretty on her Instagram — no deletes, no drama (well, not yet). Which got fans whispering: what’s really going on?
Some speculate it was a tactical move to dodge backlash from certain corners of Chinese social media — namely, the more “militant” fans of Bai Jingting’s ex-co-star (and rumoured past flame), Song Yi.
The Bai-Song CP fandom still runs deep in some circles, with some of their stans accusing Nannan of “clout-chasing” and “rocking the boat.” And let’s not pretend CP fandom wars haven’t derailed a few love stories before…
👗 Airport Fashion Codes and Insta Flirts
To add more fuel to the fire, Zhang Ruonan rocked up at Ningbo airport recently in a white puff-sleeve top and blue pleated skirt — a subtle “white and blue” combo that many fans are reading as a coded nod to “Bai-Nan” (Bai Jingting + Zhang Ruonan). Call it coincidence… or call it soft-launch couture.
And guess what happened next? Bai Jingting casually dropped a fresh selfie on his IG Story — this time from Tibet. A peace offering? A sneaky reply? Or just good timing? Either way, the socials are buzzing with theories.
⚔️ Team Song Yi vs Team Zhang Ruonan: CP Wars Resume
As expected, the CP battlefield is divided. On one side, die-hard Song Yi supporters hoping their ship hasn’t sunk. On the other, new-gen Bai-Ruonan shippers cheering every blue tee and mutual IG moment.
Ruonan’s every move online is now under a magnifying glass. Sweet emoji in a comment? She's “hinting again.” Airport look goes viral? It’s a coded message. The poor girl can’t even wear a colour-coordinated outfit in peace.
That said, while Weibo’s turned into a full-on warzone, Zhang Ruonan’s Instagram is practically a safe haven. International fans — especially from Malaysia, Thailand, and beyond — are lapping it all up.
🌏 “They’re a vibe,” one Thai fan gushed. “Stop teasing and just get together already,” another from Malaysia added.
🛡️ Hiding on Insta? Or Just Playing It Smart?
It’s becoming clear that Zhang Ruonan’s Insta is where the “coded romance” lives on, free from the crossfire. With Weibo turning increasingly hostile, many reckon she’s made the strategic choice to lean into global fan support instead — where the tone is less bitter, more banner-making.
Honestly, smart move. Because whether it’s love or just a clever bit of CP marketing, one thing’s for sure: the blue tee’s done its job.
💙 Romance or PR? The Blue Shirt Saga Continues…
Are Zhang Ruonan and Bai Jingting actually an item, or just playing their cards well to keep The First Frost hot in everyone’s minds?
Either way, one T-shirt has managed to create enough headlines to last the week. And if this is a “gimmick,” it’s a brilliantly executed one. But if it’s real love? Well, the fans have already blessed the union — deleted Weibo or not.
