| Golden Rooster Backstage Chaos: Song Jia Teases Han Yutong About “Dating” Zeng Hui |
Backstage at the 2025 Golden Rooster Awards wasn’t supposed to be this entertaining, but trust the internet to find a moment and turn it into a full trending saga. Short-drama sweetheart Han Yutong finally came face to face with her long-time idol, the newly crowned Best Actress Song Jia — and she didn’t waste a second before giving the senior actress a warm, slightly starstruck hug.
The wholesome scene took a twist only Song Jia could deliver. In the middle of the hug and friendly chatter, she suddenly leaned in and asked, “Are you and Zeng Hui a couple?”
Han Yutong, who’s usually confident on screen, instantly blushed and dodged the question. Song Jia simply laughed and added, “He’s handsome.”
That tiny exchange, barely ten seconds long, hit the internet like a storm.
By the evening of 17 November, clips were everywhere — short-drama fans, CP fans, casual viewers… everyone had something to say. And of course, the “Luori Yuhui” (落日雨辉) crowd went absolutely wild.

Why Fans Are Losing It Over This Moment
Han Yutong and Zeng Hui aren’t just any co-stars — they’re one of the strongest CPs in China’s booming short-drama scene.
Their on-screen chemistry has been praised again and again, especially in hits like Mr. Li, You Got the Wrong Wife and The Scheming of a Thousand Gold, where their teasing, sweet couple dynamics became the blueprint for short-drama romance.
But it’s the off-screen hints that keep fans guessing:
-
The pair have been spotted holding hands in public more than once.
-
Zeng Hui often calls Han Yutong by her drama nickname “Niuniu,” which fans adore.
-
He’s been known to defend her whenever people comment that they “don’t match.”
-
They regularly recreate flirty scenes at events, almost as if they forget they’re not filming.
With this kind of track record, Song Jia’s question didn’t feel random — it felt like she said what half the internet has been shouting for months.
A CP Moment Turned Viral Highlight
 |
Backstage interactions are usually polite, quick, and easily forgotten.
Not this one. Song Jia’s playful question suddenly pushed Han Yutong and Zeng Hui back onto the trending list, with thousands of comments insisting the two “just admit it already.”
Even more amusing?
Fans joked that Song Jia essentially became the unofficial spokesperson for the Luori Yuhui fandom, delivering the question everyone has been waiting to hear answered.
Han Yutong
A rising star with a master’s degree in acting from the Tianjin Conservatory of Music, Han Yutong has quickly become one of the most recognisable faces in short-drama romance. She’s signed under the Tinghuadao agency and has built a loyal following for her expressive acting and natural charm.
Zeng Hui
Zeng Hui’s popularity skyrocketed after their 2024 collaborations. Known for his warm screen presence and easy chemistry with co-stars, he became a household name largely thanks to his on-screen partnership with Han Yutong — and now, thanks to Song Jia, their CP is once again front and centre.
A simple hug, one cheeky question, and suddenly the Golden Rooster backstage area became the internet’s favourite new CP hotspot. Whether Han Yutong and Zeng Hui ever give a straight answer remains a mystery… but for now, Song Jia has done the fans a massive favour by stirring the pot in the most iconic way possible.
