| Zhao Jinmai’s Natural Chemistry with Song Weilong’s Sister Sparks Warm Family Vibes Online (Photo: Weibo) |
Even after Shine on Me (骄阳似我) officially wrapped filming, the buzz around its lead stars clearly hasn’t clocked out. Zhao Jinmai and Song Weilong recently found themselves back in the spotlight, not because of a new drama announcement, but thanks to a series of warm, unscripted moments at a luxury Guerlain event in Shanghai that sent netizens into full discussion mode.
The New Year–themed event marked their first public appearance together since the drama ended, and the visual pairing alone was enough to turn heads.
Song Weilong went for a crisp white formal suit that gave off calm, polished energy, while Zhao Jinmai stepped out in a silver-white gown with sharp tailoring, showing a noticeably more mature and elegant side. Standing together, the two looked strikingly in sync, which only fuelled post-drama chemistry talk online.
Before heading on stage, a brief exchange between them was caught on camera and quickly went viral. Song Weilong was seen turning to Zhao Jinmai and casually asking if they should hold hands.

After she agreed, he reached out without hesitation, and the pair walked onto the stage side by side as the Shine on Me theme song played in the background. Many viewers couldn’t help joking that the scene felt more like a wedding entrance than a brand event.
But it wasn’t just the hand-holding that grabbed attention. Another off-stage moment quickly became a talking point across Chinese social media.
Zhao Jinmai was spotted chatting closely with Song Weilong’s older sister, the two appearing relaxed, comfortable, and deeply engaged in conversation. They even continued talking as they walked off together, unintentionally leaving Song Weilong a few steps behind.
That’s when netizens noticed his reaction. Song Weilong was seen repeatedly glancing over at the pair, his curious and slightly puzzled expression instantly becoming meme material.

Many viewers described his reaction as unintentionally funny and oddly charming, while others said the whole moment gave off a strong “already family” vibe.
Fan reactions have been split in the most entertaining way. Some praised Zhao Jinmai’s natural ease, saying her interaction with Song Weilong’s sister looked genuine rather than staged.
Others jokingly teased Song Weilong for being “left behind” and looking like he desperately wanted to know what he’d missed. There were also fans who took a more cautious view, reminding everyone not to overinterpret a friendly moment, even while admitting the atmosphere felt unusually warm.

What most netizens seemed to agree on, though, was that these small, unscripted interactions felt refreshingly real. Whether it was the hand-holding, the quiet conversation, or Song Weilong’s curious glances, the moments came across as relaxed and human, far removed from carefully planned publicity gestures.
The lingering chemistry between its leads, and even the people around them, continues to keep fans engaged. Now the real question is: are we just witnessing good friendship energy, or the kind of natural dynamic that deserves another on-screen reunion?
