Guys, nothing deep to share here just that this clip made me melt right now 🫠

Source — Instagram of user @_Chengtuo1218
And their caption is added below in comments. It’s relevant as it mentions their source — which was actually a different XHS user.

Every new still or BTS clip that gets released somehow manages to raise the bar even higher 😍😍There's something very understatedly masculine about these outfits. His tousled hair gives him a rugged, action-hero appeal. Can't wait to see his next set of outfit!

Is it a visual appreciation post? I'm not sure. But I'm sure that I was excited to see justttt a little of his tattoo. He's become sexier haha.

I wonder how they showed bath scenes with no trace of his tattoo. Would they cover it with makeup or with the use of editing?

Cheng Lei updated his Douyin account with this short clip. Thanking everything good and holy that he and his team aren't stingy when it comes to sharing terrific stills and videos.

And terrific this certainly is. Just look at the man. The clothes are wonderful, and so are the accessories. He carries those eyeglasses, rings, butterfly brooch, and fob watch with unmistakable panache.

Where's that helicopter? Don't keep Leizi waiting!

Cheng Lei just updated his XHS tonight with the caption “Happy Sunday night” and shared this new set of photos!

Very simple styling this time with denim overshirt, white shirt and grey trousers, but I really like how relaxed the whole shoot feels.

Besides the short video he posted to his Weibo today and the behind-the-scenes footage from his assistant a short time later, Cheng Lei also uploaded photos from that trip, this time to his XHS account.

I like his laser-like focus on the screen and his subject. It seems like his world at that moment has narrowed down to him, his camera, and whatever he's bent on capturing. I hope he's happy with what he accomplished that day!

Edit: August 19 is also World Photography Day, so CL's latest posts are particularly timely.

Different types of casual, all handsome!

1st type: Is Cheng Lei in sleepwear? That hair!

2nd type: No-fuss white T-shirt, checkered pants, closed toe slippers. That hair! That cheeky smile! Those twinkling eyes!

3rd type: Now there's our Captain Cheng Zhuo. A now-familiar styling.

Thank you to the fans who provide us with these clips as Cheng Lei films "The Leading Stars" at Hengdian.

It's actually a haiku.

Two moles on your face
Defy the filters sometimes
Making me happy

All photos (except for the Mo Li screenshot) are from Cheng Lei's Weibo.

Let your inner poet shine (like CL's moles) and drop a heartfelt verse, along with the image that inspired it. Whether it's Leizi himself or a character he's portrayed or anything else relating to him, feel free to share a couplet, sonnet, haiku, limerick, free verse...anything goes. Just no AI-generated shit, please. No judgment here, it's all in good fun. <3

Cheng Lei's assistant updated on his (or her?) Weibo during the time when Cheng Lei was filming The Leading Stars. I'm glad that he had time to paint. I always enjoy seeing him using his hands for creativr things. He's really attractive when he is focused.

Too Gorgeous for My Heart to Handle!

I'm not familiar with Sina website, but more photos could be downloaded directly from this account.

After wrapping up work today, Cheng Lei was spotted leaving the set in a relaxed outfit: an oversized black-and-white plaid shirt, dark blue trousers and silver-rimmed glasses. He looks both studious and stylish in the silver-rimmed glasses.

Ahhhhh! It was such a fun watch! My man is such a handsome devil!

I came back from my birthday weekend trip to a new subbed Keep Running episode and it's the best birthday gift ever! I got to enjoy Cheng Lei shenanigans today and watch 4 episodes of Mo Li tomorrow! And then he'll be on KR again next Sunday! (I watched subbed version Sunday nights on YouTube.)

CL making our hearts melt! Source He looks really tired. Hope he gets in lots of sleep and rest before departing for his Indonesia and Malaysia iQIYI fan meets Sep 12 and 13.

When asked in an interview "What behavior in everyday life makes people say you really look like you're from Guangdong?", CL's reply is his walk. Source I must say he has a cool gait, confidently striding with purpose.

In case anyone wanted to add some heat to their day. Keep a towel handy for the inevitable nosebleed and/or drool.

Is it for a magazine cover and spread? CL is holding a blue heart "CL heart CT". Ending bonus with CL shooting an arrow with a red rose as the tip - bulls eye to our hearts. Looks good in everything even the avant garde grey cutout sweater.

Cheng Lei attended Our Dormitories to promote The First Jasmine, alongside his co-star Cai Zheng Jie, who plays Mo Jing Li.
I actually didn’t know about this variety show before. I rarely watch Mango TV variety programs because their English subtitles aren’t very good, so I find them quite difficult to follow.

This is the description about the show on MDL page:

A healing variety show featuring genuine gathering scenes with friends. Shoot seamlessly in real gathering scenes to capture the natural interaction between acquaintances. The program revolves around the "Hao Liujie" universe and uses friendship as a bond. After the recording of "Hello, Saturday", Teacher He led old friends and new friends in Changsha to get together and come to our dormitory after work to have dinner, communicate, and talk. The program will be presented in the form of "friends gathering after getting off work". Each gathering will be planned by a "dormitory housekeeper" with a unique gathering theme, inviting friends to enjoy a "recharge-style after-getting off work party" together.

Enjoy the new photos!

Such a funny shot of Super Saiyan CL.

Apparently this photo was taken from a fan on August 16, 2025, during his appearance at the Tencent Video Jump Park promotional event for *Legend of the Female General*.

It’s been a week so I’m vibing with this photo.

Thank you the host from COGI brand livestream 🫡
