I always have a got feeling that DD and GG knew each other before the Untamed Filming. They already have that spark in there heart.
Timeline of a relationship
Sorry, having to completely rebuild this post because tumblr messed it up.
It was in response to an ask from an Anon.

Hello. I am interested with your opinion. As lot of BJYX stans said it must be love at first sight for yb and over the time for xz (which is supported by their interview i guess? and how yb remembers their first meeting in ttxs much more than xz does). when do you think they made it official? as, not the flirting stage or will/won’t we anymore, but officially - seriously? imo i think there were some differences vibes between their interview during untamed and in 2019.
I have so many soft feelings about this. It is well known that Wang Yibo is a truly amazing and suave dancer, while Xiao Zhan is more of a singer. During an interview, the interviewer requests to see a dance. Xiao Zhan says, alright what dance should we do? I will follow you, Teacher Yibo. And of all the dances that WYB could choose, he chooses this extremely simple and goofy set of dance moves from a variety show opening song to accommodate Xiao Zhan??! I mean this is the ice prince of dancing. And Wang Yibo doesn’t seem impatient or bored or patronizing at all. He honestly looks like he’s having a good time. And he doesn’t dismiss this just because Xiao Zhan isn’t much of dancer and this is just some silly interview segment. After they do one run through, with Xiao Zhan focusing pretty hard on imitating the moves, Yibo says, okay let’s try it again from the start!
Xiao Zhan follows along pretty well the second time and proclaims that this is an exceptionally good dance! Simple and easy to learn. Look at how pleased Yibo looks here. Xiao Zhan then asks Yibo *twice* if he choreographed this! Twice! And he seems genuinely impressed. Which I thought was so funny and sweet, mostly because I’ve seen Wang Yibo choreograph or improvise way more complicated dance moves on the fly. And this must have been the equivalent of a master artist drawing stick figures with crayons for him. But he’s so kind about it; he never ever by tone or word choice makes Xiao Zhan feel bad about not being as good at dancing.
The first time Xiao Zhan asks if he choreographed that with a tone of wonder, Yibo just gives him a thumbs up and banters with him. (Because Yibo must have thought Xiao Zhan was kidding? Because this is a well known set of silly dance moves from a variety show opening) And when Xiao Zhan asks again, did you really choreograph that?? He laughs and replies no (also look at that arm hold).. and his tone is so… I don’t know.. indulgent and fond and amused.
Original interview clip here.
The first time the crew met was at the cafeteria. I took Wang Yibo to the cafeteria with several other producers. Xiao Zhan and Wang Zhuo Cheng had already eaten there, and then we went to read the script after.
The cast invited Hua Yunxia, the acting instructor with whom they worked. Hua graduated from the Director Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy. After meeting Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, the first thing Hua Yunxia did was let the two people interact together. Her description of Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan is a rare confidant in life. Although they are quite different on the surface, their objective is the same inside. So her first job after joining the group was to get them to know each other.
[Q: Your First Impression of Wang Yibo? - Ruxi Interview 2018]
Xiao Zhan: My first impression of him was from our first reading session. He showed up looking like a boy next door wearing a hat. When we did our reading together, I thought he was kind of shy. Yang Xia jiejie, our producer told me “Quick! Talk to him! You’re Wei Wuxian! You have to go talk to him!” I was like? What should I say to him? My personality is a bit… I don’t warm up to strangers easily either. After 1 or 2 sessions, I felt like he’s pretty genuine. After we became closer, we both started behaving wildly and illogically. It’s pretty fun
[Q: what is your first impression of each other? - Bazaar interview 2019]
Yibo smiling: You first
Xiao Zhan: Ok ok I’ll start first. When I first saw him, I think he just finished work so he came off a little cold…yeah cold. There’s this “don’t come close to me” aura (Day Day Up impression)
Yibo: I…didn’t notice that much, so there’s not much feeling (He’s teasing Xiao Zhan and Xiao Zhan fakes like he’s about to leave the premise before they both laughed together) I feel that he can talk very well, & loves talking. Better than me. I have less words
Xiao Zhan: I’m all right~
Yibo: I feel that he’s more enthusiastic
Xiao Zhan: Then what to do…If you don’t talk and I also don’t talk…what are we going to do
[Q: Who is the most extroverted? - Chen Qing Ling fanmeet 2019]
Yibo: Xiao Zhan. I just felt close and he has a good personality and it just feels like he’s easy to get along with. We were reading scripts
Xiao Zhan: We were eating lunch at the cafeteria, when I first met him for this drama. Then the director said, “Hurry! Go talk to him!” You guys all get it, Yibo has that cold attitude when it comes to strangers. We met formally during lunch in between script readings
[Q: Who was the first person you met? - Chen Qing Ling concert 2019]
Yibo: It was script reading, I met Jili, Zhan Ge, Yu Bin, Hai Kuan Ge, and Zhuo Cheng. We did the script reading and had lunch
MC: Both of you met the first time at the canteen?
Xiao Zhan: We first met at the canteen for the drama
