Xu Bin has a thing for Chloe Wang?

SINGAPORE -- Greetings and salutations, fellow stargazers! This is your Showbiz Sista wondering: What is going on on the 118 set? Previously, Zhang Zhen Huan declared his admiration for co-star Dawn Yeoh; now, Xu Bin freely admits to his pulse quickening when Taiwanese actress Chloe Wang, who plays his romantic interest in the show, is around.

His character, said Xu Bin, is “a very innocent young man who falls in love easily. As long as a girl takes the initiative, he’ll be won over.”

And Xu Bin himself is the same. “I’m actually a person who’s easily moved,” he said. “In the past, there was a girl who chased me for three or four months, and after that, I did end up dating her. Actually, it’s very easy for a girl to chase a guy.”

He then spouted a Chinese proverb about how guys chasing girls have to overcome mountains while girls chasing guys merely have to lift their veils. I think.

“You learned something new today,” he winked.

Yes, well, does that mean he and Chloe will soon be sitting in a tree? “Yeah, she made my heart beat a little faster. I feel comfortable around her. I think she’s a girl who’s very sincere. Oh, actually, she’s quite proactive,” he said.

But then he hastened to add, “We only worked together for nine days, and now she has gone back to Taiwan for a while. So, I don’t know her that well yet.”

Okay, Xubes, we’ll see who gets lucky first – you or Zhen Huan. Showbiz Sista, signing out. Live long and pop corn!

Catch 118 starting Oct 20, weekdays at 7.30pm on MediaCorp TV Channel 8.
