I get to know little bit more about Chen Xing Xu & Li Lan Di as actor & actress from some articles and interview clips:
(I had to endure reading the articles about them using google translation T_T so if there is anything incorrect, please correct me)
Chen Xing Xu first debut as an actor was when he was 4 years old in Years Of Passion Burning while Li Lan Di first debut as an actress was when she was10 years old in Love Who You Lost To.
They both graduated from Central Academy of Drama in different years with Chen Xing Xu finished first and Li Lan Di entered later. Chen Xing Xu ranked 1st while Li Lan Di ranked 2nd in the entrance exam. Li Lan Di mentioned they talked about many similar topics as senior & junior since they were from same study place.
In one of article about Chen Xing Xu that I read, he prefer his character in dramas as someone that has a mission/goal. Yeah, even if you watch his dramas that only has many romance scene in them like Goodbye My Princess, Fall In Love & The Starry Love, you will realize that all his characters already have their own missions to accomplish even before the romance blooms between him and his female leads.
In one of Li Lan Di articles that I read, she prefer plot with sad ending and in the future, she really want to act in a villainous role. She said Li Guang Ye Tan is kinda mischievous but not really villain. I guess that's why she mentioned about her favor to Hu Sui character in this drama in one of her interview before hahah
In one of their interview together, when asked about the role that they want to play if they get chance to cooperate again, Chen Xing Xu mentioned Gao Qiqiang and Li Lan Di mentioned Gao Qiqiang's wife aww ^_^

Actually, if they really get to work together again, I hope their next drama will be another costume drama. Sorry but majority of Chinese romance dramas that I watch since 2020 were costume dramas hehe
I can endure watching a Chinese costume drama with more than 40 episodes but can easily get lost interest in a Chinese modern drama although it just 40 episodes. I prefer romance plot in Chinese drama in either costume drama or Chinese Republic Era drama haha
But since they have clear vision as actor and actress, I think in the future, they will be more picky about the drama script and won't accept to play lousy character script even they get to work together again.
