Recently, Tao has been showcasing his true feelings towards Yixing and how she made him a “hopeless romantic.”

During a recent live broadcast, Tao spoke about how he never thought he would become a hopeless romantic, sharing his past confusion about people ditching their friends for their other halves. He added how being with Yiyang made him find his own approach to how his relationship with his friends and Yiyang can co-exist.

#HuangZitao: I used to never think I'd be love-brained (obsessed/crazy in love). Before meeting Xu Yiyang, I even couldn't believe my friend could ditch his bros for his girl. Now i realized bros and the girl can coexist. I choose to keep my bros but love my wife more 🥰 pic.twitter.com/VZvZrTmAcs

At first, I didn’t think I was a hopeless romantic. Before meeting Xu Yiyang, I thought being a hopeless romantic…how could I be a hopeless romantic? I even thought that, when my friends acted like a hopeless romantic, how could you ditch your bros for a woman?

When I became a hopeless romantic, I discovered that someone’s bros and wife can co-exist, but everyone chooses differently. I would still choose having my bros by my side and loving my wife even more at the same time.You feel me?

You feel me, man?

If that wasn’t enough. Tao has been going viral for his comments and interactions with Yiyang. In particular, one video had over 14,000 likes and saw the former EXO member having fun and teasing her during a live broadcast.

Tao: I'm tired, wifey. let me lean on you for a while..
Tao: *leaning on Yiyang's lap & showing her face to the camera*
Yiyang: 😐
Tao: luckily you guys were watching. if you weren't looking at me, she would have slapped me
