Early the next morning, while He Jinxia was already filming on set, the belated clarification from Gu Runfei and Luo Sifang fermented for a full day and night emerged on W blog.
As Jinxia had anticipated, Gu Runfei indeed claimed that he had broken up with his girlfriend, denied any rumors of infidelity during his relationship, and also refuted the gossip linking him romantically with Luo Sifang, asserting that they were merely friends.
At the same time, Gu Runfei's ex-girlfriend Zhang Hanxi also posted on W blog, publicly stating that they had broken up a month before Gu Runfei even started shooting "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People".
Netizens calculated the timing, and it seemed the breakup happened around New Year's Day or February.
These two must have coordinated their responses, as their W blog posts were consistent.
