As a supplement to my Bai Yu & Zhu Yilong Primer, I've collected Bai Yu & Zhu Yilong's Guardian-related interactions on Weibo here.
March 23, 2018 - Guardian Casting Announcement
Bai Yu: Zhao Yunlan, reporting for duty
June 17, 2017 - Bai Yu posts celebratory emojis
Critical Note: Bai Yu always customizes the "posted from" field on his iPhone. Almost all of his Guardian posts are sent from "小澜澜的iPhone" - Xiao Lanlan's iPhone / Little Lanlan's iPhone.
July 12, 2017 - Final Day of Shooting | Bai Yu & Zhu Yilong
Official Guardian Weibo: Chief Zhao, what are you doing with Professor Shen's nameplate?
Fun Fact: Zhu Yilong's final day of filming was actually 7/13/2017, but I guess he just wanted to post on the same day as Bai Yu.
July 24, 2017 - Promoting Bai Yu's Founding of an Army Movie

Bai Yu: (quoting lyrics) Flying across time together.
Zhu Yilong: (quoting lyrics) Across Time, I stay in the same place.
Bai Yu: What are you doing standing in the same place?
Zhu Yilong: You stole "Flying across time together," so I can only take "I stay in the same place."
Official Guardian Weibo: Hahahahahahaha

\@Zhu Yilong Long-ge, when do we play together again?
Zhu Yilong: You actually went on a motorcycle to run me over.
Bai Yu: Right. I did that on purpose. I want to let you sing a song, then help you back up.
June 17, 2018 - Weibo Awards
Zhu Yilong makes a very sincere, sweet post thanking the Weibo Awards.
Bai Yu charges in with a meme. The meme says "打call for you" - where 打call refers to the practice of people waving glowsticks at idol concerts. Here, the pun is on 巍 (from Shen Wei) vs 为 (for), and possibly also on 打 (to hit, to attack).
Zhu Yilong responds with this meme, which says 力挽狂澜 = to turn the tide, to save a critical situation. Pun on the Lan for Zhao Yunlan.
June 18, 2018 - Zhu Yilong Livestreams
Bai Yu crashes the party by buying Zhu Yilong a virtual lamborghini (one of the flashier, more expensive gifts you can buy a livestreamer). It put his name very prominently at the top for doing so.
June 19, 2018 - The Meme Wars Escalate
Zhu Yilong: Can someone help me confiscate Bai Yu’s phone? Tell him to focus on filming. (Attaches WeChat conversations with Bai Yu).
Bai Yu's meme says "I'm a livestreamer that frightens even the ghosts."
Zhu Yilong: Too fitting!
Bai Yu then sends a monkey meme that says "If I'm a mao houer (hairy monkey), will you still love me?"
Bai Yu: Hahahahahahaha. Long-ge. I'm going to die of laughter from your memes. Hahahahahaha.
Bai Yu replies to the post with a meme that says "Is anything wrong? I'm the most handsome monkey on this mountain."
Zhu Yilong responds with the 我觉得布星 meme, which I think is a play on words for "I think this is not okay."
June 21, 2018 - Bai Yu feels guilty?
Bai Yu: Am I really... a demon?
Bai Yu answers his own question, posting this meme in the comments. "Hahahahaha. Come chase me, Kunlun-jun."
June 30, 2018 - Zhu Yilong eats mangoes
For context, it's a common meme in Guardian fandom that Bai Yu looks like a mango.
Zhu Yilong: When I was eating mangos today… It felt a little cruel.
Bai Yu sends a meme that says 面面相觑 = to gaze at each other helplessly/in dismay. This is a pun on 面面, which is Ye Zun's nickname.
Zhu Yilong: I won.
Bai Yu: Are you sure? (attached picture)
July 4, 2018 - A Message to the Fans
After a ton of fans came to greet them at the airport, they sent out well-wishes/messages of concern.
Bai Yu: Don't stay out too late. Watch out for the heat.
Zhu Yilong: ❤ Received.
July 9, 2018 - Zhu Yilong's Iconic Stripping Challenge
Zhu Yilong: Indulge a little. PK (player vs player challenge)?
Bai Yu: Muay Thai?
Zhu Yilong: PK your strong suit. Five-second 👔
Bai Yu: Okay. Then it's settled. Please keep your promise!
The five-second 👔 is a reference to Bai Yu's scene in 0.5 Diors where he strips in 5 seconds.
Did Zhu Yilong really just challenge Bai Yu to a stripping contest? All signs point to yes, except for the fact that he backed out when he got called on it in interviews, so not really.
July 10, 2018 - KFC Dual Endorsements | Bai Yu & Zhu Yilong
Roughly transcribing the video: Bai Yu starts the ad by comparing Zhu Yilong to this KFC dish. "Cold/aloof on the outside, but hot/spicy on the inside. And it has a good brother (friend)!" He ends the post asking Zhu Yilong to share the dish with him.
Zhu Yilong: \@BaiYu You talkative child!
Roughly transcribing the video: He talks about how Bai Yu is a 小鲜肉 (teen idol/fresh meat), and compares Bai Yu to a KFC dish that's sweet and sour - fresh and pure and lively. And this dish happens to have a completely different tasting good brother/friend.
(idk about the fresh and pure part when it comes to Bai Yu but I'm not the one who wrote the ad.)
Bai Yu: Long-ge, give this one a taste. Ahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Zhu Yilong: Stop laughing. Is anyone spared in this?
July 23, 2018 - Bai Yu on Harpers' Bazaar
Bai Yu goofs off in the comments to the Harpers Bazaar wedding photoshoot.
Comment 1: Fanart of Zhao Yunlan pulling Ye Zun's hair
Bai Yu: Don’t bully Mianmian.
Comment 2: Gege, can I swing on your leg hairs?
Bai Yu: Of course not. You’ll pluck them off.
July 25, 2018 - Goodbye Guardian | Bai Yu (translation) & Zhu Yilong (translation)
On Bai Yu's Post:

On Zhu Yilong's Post:

The meme says "My hairstyle is the flashiest and coolest, everything I say is right."
July 31, 2018 - Bai Yu is pranked
Post: I’ve been having a strange tasting drink for the past 3-4 days. Today, I looked more carefully… green mango flavor…. I want to know who arranged this…
Comment: Friends. I won’t believe this was arranged by the Gods.
August 12, 2018 - Not You, Bai Yu
In the video, Zhu Yilong thanks his fans for their support. He says every time he reads the comments on his Weibo posts, he feels a warmth in his heart.
Bai Yu: If you feel warmth… then I am reassured.
Zhu Yilong: That doesn’t include… you! Ha.
Extras:
I was too lazy to track down the original posts/dates on these.
Bai Yu watching their episode of Happy Camp.
Video: Guardian crew member teases Bai Yu (Bilibili)
Bai Yu: Little Zhuzhu... The person who just said Long-ge was--
Crew Member: Wow, is it really me?
Bai Yu: Do you have a question?
Crew Member: I want to ask you... Do you miss Long-ge?
Bai Yu: Yes. I'm always sending him chat messages.
Crew Member: But Long-ge is waiting for you. When are you going to see Long-ge?
Bai Yu: Where is Long-ge waiting for me?
Crew Member: Long-ge is waiting for you at home. He's inviting you to dinner.
Bai Yu: Ah, he's pretty busy recently. We agreed to meet when he's not as busy.
... That little Zhuzhu just then was a crew member on Guardian. Really.
Always using my Long-ge to provoke me.
And a couple of twitter videos (sorry, couldn't find a better place to host them.)
Video: Zhu Yilong encourages fans to support Bai Yu's movie, Legend of Fahai
Video: Bai Yu talks about his boyfriends (trolling)
