Barnes and Li have been spotted in a rather flirty video whilst taking part in Shadow and Bone’s season two press tour.

In a clip posted on TikTok, the co-stars sat next to each other and giggled and smiled together between interviews.

At the start of the video, Barnes cautiously extends his pinky finger towards Li’s hands before they bat him away and smiles cheekily at the camera.

Barnes then kept a deadpan straight face as he leaned back in his chair and pushed Li off the armrest while she struggled to suppress another smile.

The TikTok video zoomed in on the physical flirting, and Li crinkled her nose whilst she endured her co-star’s antics.

The poster of the video is clearly convinced something could be going on, as they wrote “BEN PLEASE STOP” in the caption, accompanied by crying and love heart emojis.

TikTok user Dee replied: “Looks like Ben's love language is physical touch.”

Charlotte commented: “Imagine having someone so attracted to you that they CANNOT physically stay away from you and will try anything to get close, even with their PINKY.”

So far, the rumours about the co-stars dating have not been confirmed.

Other fans have also pointed out that Li identifies as “openly queer”, though it’s unknown if she is currently in a relationship.

As of 2021, Li confirmed she was dating a male partner whose identity is unknown, and it’s unclear if the relationship is still ongoing.
