The filming stopped, but the love didn’t. 9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOkCiqft4R
They walked off hand in hand. 9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP0ogh3szS
The boss collapsed in tears—— 9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PnU5JIEp0
the CP felt more real than the script ever did.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx6W76DLpt
The Hidden Moon and the Sea of Dawn started off unusually smoothly.
The crew was soft, pink, and glowing——9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYsUKeF2Qn
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.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT30Tj5iumN
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…9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFqrf6siBk
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.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMATpgInAN2
His mind screamed one thing:9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYfVQemwLp
What about Xi-Yu and Yue-Yue…
Throughout the meeting, the manager remained calm as always.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3tlOAv3NK
The screenwriter kept circling back to one desperate question:9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPVUsucMTL
“Can the bunny… still keep her memories?”
Meanwhile, in the corner, the art lead quietly shed tears for the props——9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ8JyPEJhU
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqtalMCE1l
The manager issued a notice to the cast:
Due to a sudden scheduling change, filming is on hold.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus5gCHQGh6
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——9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9arVOZy0m
as if sensing a gaze, she looked up.
Their eyes met for a second.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQtXlT0zuW
And then, they smiled.
Not the delicate, ambiguous kind reserved for scenes on camera——9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDldkOn9RI
it was the kind of bond only shared by people9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDg7kQ5B5s
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.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqGhRa3kn2
“Let’s go.”
The human didn’t ask where.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOohpLxKpL
She just stood up, casually handing over the bunny’s hat.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMeF6GvwdD
Nothing was said——9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtpLaeG3Fa
and yet, it felt like everything had been.
They headed for the exit, unhurried,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqiEBGYCiI
as if they were still inside the story——9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8naY8eBfX
and somehow, already beyond it.
And just as they left the set,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjfEtBzYjn
they held hands.
No one dared to remind them they were still on company grounds,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehsl8vsm8B
or that the cameras were still rolling——
Because to interrupt that moment felt almost sacrilegious.
This wasn’t a scene.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx1LHKnOzX
It wasn’t a press event.
It was that moment——9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl3DDq9N77
the one where two people, after working together for so long,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVGeg9pOVy
finally get to draw close, and it makes perfect sense.
The director watched the footage and whispered,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8HSqfsHNb
“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:9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29WDgMQLRE
Soft blush base. Warm undertone. Sweet, but not syrupy.
And the boss?9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRgIftzEEv
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.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATvs3xtHPY
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,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdG2CBccRy
but now his brain was auto-generating OTP hashtags and imagining poster fonts:
Liu Xiyu × Yun Cangyue9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbDmwXUhJ3
——“Even if the world resets a hundred times, I’ll find you every time.”
Pink subtitles floated across his mind.9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzoZnUN0jS
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?9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjkoGSYGQJ
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,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NkvFBtKLT
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,9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOF2NJpT6f
“Is he… okay?”
The manager glanced over, deadpan.
“He’s just converting emotions into budget. Let him cry.”
