In Irresistible Love, Meng Rui plays a gay man who falls in love with the orphan his family adopts (though he is deeply in denial at first due to internalized homophobia). In Our Glamorous Time, Meng Rui plays a supporting character who is conspiring with another supporting character against the lead. They give each other a lot of meaningful looks that are supposed to indicate they are co-conspirators, but they overdo it and end up seeming like a couple for anyone who ever watches BL.
