The filming stopped, but the love didn’t. 21Please respect copyright.PENANAYcV3bWjPzX
They walked off hand in hand. 21Please respect copyright.PENANAY55Y5o29nA
The boss collapsed in tears—— 21Please respect copyright.PENANAoVfvEiiAK8
the CP felt more real than the script ever did.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAY0j7HKaams
The Hidden Moon and the Sea of Dawn started off unusually smoothly.
The crew was soft, pink, and glowing——21Please respect copyright.PENANATXd50pfA0n
even the hallway lights seemed deliberately set to be extra romantic.
The boss dropped by every day, lurking behind set pieces with a smile they thought no one noticed.
“…Is he hiding behind the curtain again?”
“Leave him alone. As long as that smile’s toothless, it’s still legal.”
No one spoiled his joy.21Please respect copyright.PENANAWPUOO0waSs
He was the boss, after all.
Until one day, he walked into the meeting room with a face full of sorrow, looking utterly wrecked——
as if he’d just realized his OTP was doomed in canon.
“Wuuu…21Please respect copyright.PENANAcJhNHPPS37
My bunny… my OTP… might be out of commission for a while…”
“Our client… shoved in another script… and wants it shot now…”
“I hate my own weakness.” The tears were heartbreakingly sincere.
The director looked physically pained.
But the meeting had to go on.
The director opened the meeting with a half-collapsed posture and the air of a man in mourning.21Please respect copyright.PENANAESpTx2VLIx
His mind screamed one thing:21Please respect copyright.PENANA7NBtWd74Hi
What about Xi-Yu and Yue-Yue…
Throughout the meeting, the manager remained calm as always.21Please respect copyright.PENANAalzGNYPSzl
The screenwriter kept circling back to one desperate question:21Please respect copyright.PENANAnEertAuM8S
“Can the bunny… still keep her memories?”
Meanwhile, in the corner, the art lead quietly shed tears for the props——21Please respect copyright.PENANApZJD4q0zC2
the kind of silent breakdown only budget cuts and last-minute changes could bring.
By the end, no one had died.
But their souls had been thoroughly slaughtered.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAM9vobVFxmx
The manager issued a notice to the cast:
Due to a sudden scheduling change, filming is on hold.21Please respect copyright.PENANAXdCzQjbZxg
The bunny and the human are granted a paid vacation. Together.
No one said a word.
The bunny glanced at the human.
The human was replying to a message, but her fingers paused——21Please respect copyright.PENANAW300h84xQI
as if sensing a gaze, she looked up.
Their eyes met for a second.21Please respect copyright.PENANALZ5kZHgoZi
And then, they smiled.
Not the delicate, ambiguous kind reserved for scenes on camera——21Please respect copyright.PENANApM1unVbBz0
it was the kind of bond only shared by people21Please respect copyright.PENANAKeoz0FIIjc
who’ve spent too many nights running lines beneath tired rehearsal lights at 4 a.m.
The bunny rose to her feet and patted the human’s arm.21Please respect copyright.PENANAS576xrpP3e
“Let’s go.”
The human didn’t ask where.21Please respect copyright.PENANA9gckHwzaRc
She just stood up, casually handing over the bunny’s hat.21Please respect copyright.PENANA01WSO8s8n0
Nothing was said——21Please respect copyright.PENANADOs51FE4UC
and yet, it felt like everything had been.
They headed for the exit, unhurried,21Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ca5S2Tpcv
as if they were still inside the story——21Please respect copyright.PENANA7JlncDOsUs
and somehow, already beyond it.
And just as they left the set,21Please respect copyright.PENANAZiuS7YLb3t
they held hands.
No one dared to remind them they were still on company grounds,21Please respect copyright.PENANApV140qMGXz
or that the cameras were still rolling——
Because to interrupt that moment felt almost sacrilegious.
This wasn’t a scene.21Please respect copyright.PENANAMwdhXTxm7Z
It wasn’t a press event.
It was that moment——21Please respect copyright.PENANAyNpcO3hUcj
the one where two people, after working together for so long,21Please respect copyright.PENANAn96o5hX07d
finally get to draw close, and it makes perfect sense.
The director watched the footage and whispered,21Please respect copyright.PENANAQhB3tGQDVp
“Don’t write this into the official script yet. I want to keep it for myself.”
“I’ll save the raw take. Triple backup.”
“I’ve already imagined ten different tragic endings in my head.”
The art lead said nothing, just flipped open a color notebook and made a note:
Colors for sunlight side-by-side shots:21Please respect copyright.PENANAuIDuN6jlk6
Soft blush base. Warm undertone. Sweet, but not syrupy.
And the boss?21Please respect copyright.PENANA8eQTmWHzBE
He looked at the screen like he’d been dragged into a romance MV with no way out.
His eyes were locked on their interlaced fingers——
They were holding hands.
For real.
No stage direction. No planned rehearsal.21Please respect copyright.PENANAE9SVvRIRZ3
Just something so natural, it felt like they’d done it a hundred times before.
He’d only meant to stop by and say goodbye,21Please respect copyright.PENANAF1y2pQG1H3
but now his brain was auto-generating OTP hashtags and imagining poster fonts:
Liu Xiyu × Yun Cangyue21Please respect copyright.PENANA0UAAjGnfMa
——“Even if the world resets a hundred times, I’ll find you every time.”
Pink subtitles floated across his mind.21Please respect copyright.PENANAHtvIcruKbd
Background music swelled——yes, that was the season two ending theme.
He’d even mentally edited their future late-night texting scenes post-move-out.
Bunny: Still awake?21Please respect copyright.PENANAZA4wdIsDLv
Xi-Yu: Don’t want to sleep. Thinking of you.
Clutching his OTP notebook, he trembled like a wind-tossed leaf.
“This is fate… this has to be fate…”
He wasn’t just shipping it anymore.
He was getting shipped——dragged and devoured whole by this couple,21Please respect copyright.PENANAg3fnWc5AuX
until he couldn’t tell if he was writing the story, or the story was writing him.
A staff member walked past, whispered to the manager,21Please respect copyright.PENANAojlj9JJCuz
“Is he… okay?”
The manager glanced over, deadpan.
“He’s just converting emotions into budget. Let him cry.”
