The reporter thought about it and realized that… Yan Beicheng had told the truth.
"We are all very good friends and normally behave like we are siblings. In my opinion, it's normal for them to have dinner together. But who could have expected that some people would imagine something else because of just one picture?" Yan Beicheng said.
"Do you mind giving us the identity of that person?" Since he was Yan Beicheng's friend, he must be extraordinary.
If his identity was revealed, this would be big news!
"Since Zhiqing didn't say his name, I am definitely not giving it to you. This friend of ours became part of this gossip because Zhiqing is a public figure. It is unfair to him as this happened because of Zhiqing.
"Both Zhiqing and I must protect our friend's privacy," Yan Beicheng said. "Therefore, I am sorry, but I cannot give you his identity."
