The filming stopped, but the love didn’t. 51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GcNzWQruC
They walked off hand in hand. 51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9W5huhqlv
The boss collapsed in tears—— 51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDblIuSElM4
the CP felt more real than the script ever did.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39uiJUh5nO
The Hidden Moon and the Sea of Dawn started off unusually smoothly.
The crew was soft, pink, and glowing——51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMALp9ImYYb
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.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktyt2jKkCV
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…51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztuLM8M7jJ
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.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JEkkCKtnJ
His mind screamed one thing:51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg83CEbhVh5
What about Xi-Yu and Yue-Yue…
Throughout the meeting, the manager remained calm as always.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR99udvwGu
The screenwriter kept circling back to one desperate question:51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQUpRtqQtJ
“Can the bunny… still keep her memories?”
Meanwhile, in the corner, the art lead quietly shed tears for the props——51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnje50UiYyt
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.
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLGSHsPwUU
51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ejkh9LqEC
The manager issued a notice to the cast:
Due to a sudden scheduling change, filming is on hold.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJTToKdDB4
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——51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAdOFtrKWL
as if sensing a gaze, she looked up.
Their eyes met for a second.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy7L6aPVYM
And then, they smiled.
Not the delicate, ambiguous kind reserved for scenes on camera——51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUNG5HVez9
it was the kind of bond only shared by people51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4hMKwx40l
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.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1rMBqzmJB
“Let’s go.”
The human didn’t ask where.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4128zOvmM
She just stood up, casually handing over the bunny’s hat.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHZxi8STbl
Nothing was said——51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6KkCRhfnq
and yet, it felt like everything had been.
They headed for the exit, unhurried,51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryg4d4YOBI
as if they were still inside the story——51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFmf4h2Njy
and somehow, already beyond it.
And just as they left the set,51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxCa1BGNfg
they held hands.
No one dared to remind them they were still on company grounds,51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpAIzY0o7P
or that the cameras were still rolling——
Because to interrupt that moment felt almost sacrilegious.
This wasn’t a scene.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHOaIJ1oUy
It wasn’t a press event.
It was that moment——51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZVbdfB9b3
the one where two people, after working together for so long,51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjokufp3a9
finally get to draw close, and it makes perfect sense.
The director watched the footage and whispered,51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj8HRlullJ
“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:51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGo871Mdg7
Soft blush base. Warm undertone. Sweet, but not syrupy.
And the boss?51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GeUcQDrKc
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.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWZ0cGTpfW
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,51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwycPqG4Qt9
but now his brain was auto-generating OTP hashtags and imagining poster fonts:
Liu Xiyu × Yun Cangyue51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXE9HOYFPH
——“Even if the world resets a hundred times, I’ll find you every time.”
Pink subtitles floated across his mind.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhKD23LYPh
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?51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaOdn4wSU9
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,51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgDSzmaqOv
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,51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcguLqrUkJ
“Is he… okay?”
The manager glanced over, deadpan.
“He’s just converting emotions into budget. Let him cry.”
