The filming stopped, but the love didn’t. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4iRBYI3kW
They walked off hand in hand. 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iwhQHaSDP
The boss collapsed in tears—— 13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSffM6FQLab
the CP felt more real than the script ever did.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9FBri7rCS
The Hidden Moon and the Sea of Dawn started off unusually smoothly.
The crew was soft, pink, and glowing——13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HlwpSMmgL
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHSH2mA5oL
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…13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFY7l8zSIb
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruPIjVQsoW
His mind screamed one thing:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES1GGj6rjF
What about Xi-Yu and Yue-Yue…
Throughout the meeting, the manager remained calm as always.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqb0fAdAaA
The screenwriter kept circling back to one desperate question:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u6p342NGA
“Can the bunny… still keep her memories?”
Meanwhile, in the corner, the art lead quietly shed tears for the props——13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJa4Q9WOzy
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib8yJ6oUyK
The manager issued a notice to the cast:
Due to a sudden scheduling change, filming is on hold.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o5o6dvATT
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——13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreFQwLQH3H
as if sensing a gaze, she looked up.
Their eyes met for a second.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMtLSv6aGz
And then, they smiled.
Not the delicate, ambiguous kind reserved for scenes on camera——13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzBuF0eNVg
it was the kind of bond only shared by people13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1cl56vHBa
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexemL4H7j6
“Let’s go.”
The human didn’t ask where.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xWZSHz59I
She just stood up, casually handing over the bunny’s hat.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE7g6hMoAk
Nothing was said——13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S43tBxi4Y
and yet, it felt like everything had been.
They headed for the exit, unhurried,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYmgMAZJ5u
as if they were still inside the story——13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BXiuOd78v
and somehow, already beyond it.
And just as they left the set,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX1AHoin6u
they held hands.
No one dared to remind them they were still on company grounds,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoskCyMFRD
or that the cameras were still rolling——
Because to interrupt that moment felt almost sacrilegious.
This wasn’t a scene.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBtJGAk9ou
It wasn’t a press event.
It was that moment——13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDErBr2Yie
the one where two people, after working together for so long,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAft59mLJ1P
finally get to draw close, and it makes perfect sense.
The director watched the footage and whispered,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegver0R4tP
“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:13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJtIKvMA8z
Soft blush base. Warm undertone. Sweet, but not syrupy.
And the boss?13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWSe5kfZ5B
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.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYymPfPWsz
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,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQPSKrgOWd
but now his brain was auto-generating OTP hashtags and imagining poster fonts:
Liu Xiyu × Yun Cangyue13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYZ0eHMvwP
——“Even if the world resets a hundred times, I’ll find you every time.”
Pink subtitles floated across his mind.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nl4jKGav1
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?13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnZjNgJNyz
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,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPTc4RU3bA
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,13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIhDJE5Zh7
“Is he… okay?”
The manager glanced over, deadpan.
“He’s just converting emotions into budget. Let him cry.”
