Recently, Tao showed his true feelings towards Yixing and how she made him a “hopeless romantic”.
During a recent live broadcast, Tao talked about how he never thought he would become a hopeless romantic, sharing his past confusion about people abandoning their friends for their significant other. He added how being with Yiyang made him find his own approach on how his relationship with his friends and Yiyang can coexist.
#HuangZitao: I never thought I had a brain in love (obsessed/crazy in love). Before meeting Xu Yiyang, I couldn’t even believe that my friend would ditch his brothers for his girlfriend. Now I understand that brothers and girlfriend can coexist. I choose to keep my brothers but I love my wife more 🥰 pic.twitter.com/VZvZrTmAcs

At first I didn’t think I was a hopeless romantic. Before I met Xu Yiyang, I thought that being a hopeless romantic… how could I be a hopeless romantic? I also thought that when my friends acted like hopeless romantics, how could you abandon your brothers for a woman?
When I became a hopeless romantic, I discovered that someone’s brothers and wife can coexist, but everyone chooses differently. I would still choose to have my brothers by my side and love my wife even more at the same time. Do you understand me?
Can you hear me, friend?
—Tao
If that wasn’t enough. Tao went viral for his comments and interactions with Yiyang. In particular, one video had over 14,000 likes and featured the former EXO member having fun and making fun of her during a live broadcast.
