A heartfelt farewell to Xu Huaisong from Wei Zheming (Miles) https://m.weibo.cn/status/5288033129858069?jumpfrom=weibocom
For international fans. Transcript from DeepSeek…
The story begins in spring and ends in spring—everything unfolds just as it should.
These past days, immersing myself in the drama alongside all of you, watching Xu Huaisong step by step toward his own happiness, felt like witnessing a long, magnificent fireworks display. And now, under a sky full of stars, I find myself looking back at the person I was when I first opened this story.
From the very first script I read, I was struck by this "pretender"—someone who clearly loves fried chicken and cola but secretly pours the cola into a coffee cup. He is one of the most "contradictory yet vivid" characters I've ever encountered. At work, he is razor-sharp and meticulously logical, forging professionalism and rationality into his toughest armor. But in front of the person he loves, those carefully hidden flutters and anxieties transform him back into a boy standing under the eaves, heart pounding like thunder. The real him is both clever and clumsy, sincere and sly. He isn't some cold, untouchable "cardboard figure" with every strand of hair fortified. He is a living, breathing person—with worldly likes and dislikes, easily fooled by his younger sister, and occasionally a little dark or calculating just to catch the eye of the one he adores. A decade of missed chances in unrequited love never becomes regret for him; instead, it deepens like water dripping through stone—a longing that only grows stronger and a love that never fades. He has that little twist of feeling: "I want you to know, yet I'm afraid you'll know, and even more afraid that you won't like the real me." He also has those little tricks: "Every casual coincidence is something he's long been plotting." This layered complexity meant that every day I played him, I kept exploring subtle expressions, weighing the measure in his eyes during scenes—how much restraint, how much tenderness, how many unspoken words. Those endlessly refined lines, those moments of sinking into the character's emotions—all were my small efforts to bring him from the page to the screen. Because I cherished him, I dared not let him down. I hope you can feel that.
Finally, I want to thank director Liu Dong for his patient craftsmanship behind the lens, and the entire production team for their wholehearted dedication, bringing this romantic, unspoken longing to life so beautifully. I also thank every fellow actor who contributed and sparked with me—you gave Xu Huaisong's world a real breath of life. And above all, thank you to the audience who supported "Fateful Love." Every comment, every discussion gave this story a heartbeat and warmth. It turns out that the little heartfelt surprises we tucked into the creation really can be seen and appreciated.
Now, I return Xu Huaisong fully to this story of a decade-spanning secret love. I thank him for teaching me: don't fear what seems "too late"—everything is heaven's most perfect timing.
To borrow a line from the drama: may we all cheer with joy in the brilliant days ahead, and each find the unique fortune that belongs to us.
Carrying this "joy," I will continue to give my all in the next story.

Miles impromptuly added a ‘one to one chat’ session with lucky fans cause he said enough of him talking and he wants to hear what fans want to say. There were heartwarming chats but I cannot find full clip of this section. Anyone who sees any, please share
Maybe it’s just because we don’t want to waste our time. Both positive and negative opinions matter they help…
@Crelisya Totally agree with your comment about needing a balanced view. It’s just the fact that some keep returning to leave harsh comments that you start to doubt the intention. If I do not like a drama, I will/may leave my view and move on.
Now they're confessing, hope complaining people are shut their conversation, I saw all 22 episodes it's too good,…
There are many who are loving the drama. For those who do not, that is perfectly fine too. You have left your thoughts - which we hope means you will now move on. If you are staying around, it will be nice to hear the positives too.
I am currently watching this drama now . the only thing which is bothering when they are shown as students or…
Possibly but for me I am not sure I like that idea. As it mostly sporadic flashbacks, I will feel disconnected with the character, and lose the emotion flow.
DeepSeek translation: Um, how to put it… I wouldn’t exactly say that (dislike sweet fluffy romcom). It’s more like (playing) a different type, a different kind of thing. It’s a kind of pressure. When you play the same type of role too many times, you start to feel like you’re running out of material. You lose that steady foundation, and you have to draw on everything you’ve got just to try to create something new—not playing it safe. That’s also why, in this drama, I took on another role of this type—a bit of a sweet romantic comedy type—Xu Huaisong, that character. Honestly, I think this should probably be my last drama in this genre. Probably.
For me, whether from the perspective of my career planning or in terms of my ability, I feel like this should be an endpoint, right? If I don’t have more life experience, or if I don’t keep growing, and as I get older, I think it’ll be harder for me to shape this kind of role—and to make you all like it. But Blossom Through The Cloud is a different dimension. It has a lot of workplace elements that people will see, and the direction and style will be more… urban. Yeah, it’s not going to be the super sweet romantic comedy type. So I think Xu Huaisong might be the last time you all see Wei Zheming like this.
As for Yan Ke and Bai Er Tizheng—those are yet another dimension. Same situation as what I just mentioned: after everyone saw Liu Chang and recognized that side of me, now there’s another role that seems like a villain. How do I present a different kind of villain in a different way? That, I think , is what’s really interesting as an actor. People might look at it and say, “Ah, the styling is so similar—how come the costume style in this drama looks like that other drama? The hairstyle is the same too.” Maybe that’s the superficial thing they notice. But when you’re actually watching the drama, who’s really paying attention to what hairstyle I have, what outfit I’m wearing today, what fabric it’s made of? Right? What people see is the whole person, and that whole represents the personality and traits of different characters. The genre might be the same, but each character is definitely different.
We all know this is the right decision and a sensible one. We have grown with him on these dramas, loving them all so hearing that it’s a closed chapter now, it’s sad.

For those who knows, please shed a light on what this is. Thanks!
It was a casual mention during his live stream. Does not sound like a planned announcement.
Yes we will support him all the way.

Sorry if I caused panic!

I feel that I have to grow up too 🙂
Not sure how I feel about this.
