Zhang Wanyi has found himself in the middle of a dating rumour, and it all started with… glutinous rice balls?
Yeah, you read that right!
On 19 February, netizens spotted a curious coincidence—both Zhang Wanyi and actress Xu Hao posted about the sweet treat on Weibo.
Even more suspicious?
Their IP locations were both in Yunnan.
That was enough to send social media into overdrive, with fans speculating that the "Si Jin" co-stars were more than just colleagues.

In case you’re wondering, glutinous rice balls—known as tangyuan in China— truly symbolic of unity and love.
Sharing them?
That’s practically a public confession of romance, at least in internet logic.
But before things could get too wild, Zhang Wanyi’s studio shut it all down.
"It was just a crew celebration for the Lantern Festival. Single Zhang is still focused on filming in Yunnan," they clarified.
Fans were quick to back him up, pointing out that other cast members also posted about the rice balls.
So, was it a secret love story or just a case of festive food bonding?
For now, it looks like Zhang Wanyi’s only committed relationship is with his drama "Si Jin."
