The filming stopped, but the love didn’t. 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9F68fYZ1P
They walked off hand in hand. 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJG67PU3IQ
The boss collapsed in tears—— 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVoDHEDCHl
the CP felt more real than the script ever did.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpwhcSZ1OH
The Hidden Moon and the Sea of Dawn started off unusually smoothly.
The crew was soft, pink, and glowing——15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I2YLGHkSO
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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pgtDr5Ku4
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…15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs19F8Q6IX
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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqOSLROhe5
His mind screamed one thing:15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSxGSqsly2
What about Xi-Yu and Yue-Yue…
Throughout the meeting, the manager remained calm as always.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxm1k8bzKf
The screenwriter kept circling back to one desperate question:15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNScmhp4zpq
“Can the bunny… still keep her memories?”
Meanwhile, in the corner, the art lead quietly shed tears for the props——15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFc0JgTcRB
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRAba7o0B1
The manager issued a notice to the cast:
Due to a sudden scheduling change, filming is on hold.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeGNdKdOLV
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——15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOSeGOb04t
as if sensing a gaze, she looked up.
Their eyes met for a second.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cEPaPNFeC
And then, they smiled.
Not the delicate, ambiguous kind reserved for scenes on camera——15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7tAHvP1KY
it was the kind of bond only shared by people15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUEovmPE7h
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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlal3k8ykr0
“Let’s go.”
The human didn’t ask where.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc92338wWys
She just stood up, casually handing over the bunny’s hat.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzOuGSfBHs
Nothing was said——15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUIuvXkUyX
and yet, it felt like everything had been.
They headed for the exit, unhurried,15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT9dTEqJXR
as if they were still inside the story——15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4YsRAYvXZ
and somehow, already beyond it.
And just as they left the set,15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6AfJAcnBK
they held hands.
No one dared to remind them they were still on company grounds,15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHzyaXMxwI
or that the cameras were still rolling——
Because to interrupt that moment felt almost sacrilegious.
This wasn’t a scene.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmALY0d1Ff
It wasn’t a press event.
It was that moment——15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2exmJmnjbz
the one where two people, after working together for so long,15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fzf9j1TEx
finally get to draw close, and it makes perfect sense.
The director watched the footage and whispered,15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY1AlFcOP9
“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:15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5oZmQrh0G
Soft blush base. Warm undertone. Sweet, but not syrupy.
And the boss?15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7v4vOw3dH
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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcimFXYkTfI
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,15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPN6trLris
but now his brain was auto-generating OTP hashtags and imagining poster fonts:
Liu Xiyu × Yun Cangyue15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKJiMjPfGJ
——“Even if the world resets a hundred times, I’ll find you every time.”
Pink subtitles floated across his mind.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yQkGLrcE2
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?15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFxeW5B2yc
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,15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zLhNDlUKr
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,15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcRF0dmifb
“Is he… okay?”
The manager glanced over, deadpan.
“He’s just converting emotions into budget. Let him cry.”
