27-year-old Chinese drama actress Tian Xiwei has been caught up in a 'fried rice rumor,' with the male involved being Lai Weiming, a lesser-known actor who is four years her junior. The two are currently filming the new series 'My Brilliant Friend,' with Hu Yitian as the male lead and Lai Weiming as a supporting actor. The rumor broke out because eagle-eyed netizens discovered both of them posting photos of the same style of fried rice on social media. From the bowl's pattern to the fried rice's ingredients, it seemed to be the very same dish, leading to speculation that they had gone on a fried rice date. Tian Xiwei, who is currently promoting 'Zi Ye Gui,' quickly responded on a livestream, stating that it was actually a cast dinner. In addition to Lai Weiming, actress Wang Jiayi was also present. Since they were filming in Qingdao, they ordered the local specialty 'sea intestine rice bowl,' and Tian Xiwei covered the bill.
Netizens analyzed that in Lai Weiming's fried rice photo, the table is visible, obviously showing several people sharing table dishes rather than a one-on-one date, suggesting the source was simply overthinking it. Furthermore, they ruled out the possibility that the production team was intentionally stirring up rumors, since hyped CPs are usually between the male and female leads, and it's rare to artificially pair the female lead with a secondary male character.
