Relationship Change Between Song Yi and Bai Jingting? Spotted in Intimate Interaction with Cheng Lei

Has the “older woman–younger man romance” between Bai Jingting and Song Yi come to an end?! Song Yi was spotted dining with Cheng Lei, with intimate interactions between the two. They were seen putting cream on each other’s noses, sparking heated discussions online. The two recently worked together on the new drama With Jin Chang’an, but this was not a public event—it was a private dinner, so netizens believe it’s unlikely to be a publicity stunt for the show. In 2022, sparks flew between Song Yi and Bai Jingting when they filmed Chang Feng Du. Although they never officially confirmed their relationship, they were repeatedly photographed together, such as him taking her to his hometown to meet his father, and going to Paris for a vacation together—leading netizens to believe they are a couple. Now, with these playful cream-smearing photos of Song Yi and Cheng Lei, many are starting to wonder whether there has been a change in Song Yi and Bai Jingting’s relationship.
Reportedly, Song Yi and Cheng Lei went to Hunan TV’s variety show Hello Saturday on the 8th to promote With Jin Chang’an. After recording, they had a private dinner together, where Cheng Lei dabbed some cream on her nose and even licked his finger—the scene appeared quite flirty. Fans, however, clarified that it was a crew dinner with several staff members present, and not just the two of them on a date. The leaked photos might be a marketing strategy by the drama’s team, especially since the show is about to premiere. The team may be deliberately hyping a Song Yi–Cheng Lei pairing, which is problematic for Song Yi, who already has relationship rumors with someone else.

35-year-old Song Yi is four years older than Bai Jingting, while Cheng Lei is the same age as Bai Jingting. So regardless of whom Song Yi is with, it’s always an older woman–younger man relationship. Recently, there hasn’t been much notable interaction between her and Bai Jingting, and with the photos of her dinner with Cheng Lei exposed, rumors are swirling about a possible cooling off between Song Yi and Bai Jingting.
