Despite Xie Xuan and Wen Yan posting those sort of clarifying Weibo posts overnight, some netizens still felt they were afraid to go public and that it was just a cover-up.
Su Huai, Zhang Yu, and some close friends all followed up with clarifying statements, indicating that they were just good friends.
The rumors about the two being a couple were a complete joke.
They told all the fujoshi netizens to stop stirring things up.
However, the netizens weren't buying it.
They refuted everyone's clarifications with a tone suggesting that the more they clarified, the more suspicious they became.
Zhang Yu was so frustrated she wanted to smash her phone.
Clarifying was seen as a cover-up; not clarifying was considered an admission of guilt.
Then a group of people emerged in the comments section of Zhang Yu and others' Weibo, saying that by just clarifying the relationship between Xie Xuan and Wen Yan, they were actually shielding Xie Xuan and Shen Yan.
