“There"s nothing to be envious of…” Yun Shishi numbly replied .

“You can act alongside Brother Xingze! Oh, my! You two look so good together – absolutely compatible! The scenes produced are going to look great!” the a.s.sistant exclaimed enthusiastically, clasping her chest .

The actress could only smile at her . “Well, that"s enough silliness out of you . ”

Just as she finished saying that, the field a.s.sistant hurried over to remind her . “Shishi, your scene is up next; please get ready!”

“Eh, understood . Thanks!” She nodded and tidied up before she went off .

At the side, Mu Xi saw the man absentmindedly watch her artiste, his forlorn gaze never leaving her back .

Catching sight of his miserable look, the a.s.sistant was lost in her thoughts momentarily .

Frankly, those observing them at the site had difficulty telling if the two were acting .

As part of the production team working with artistes all year round, she could easily tell whether a person was acting or not; no matter how realistic the artiste"s acting was .

However, for the last few takes involving the two leads, she often got the impression that, while the lady was acting, the gentleman was certainly not .

She could see the turmoil in his eyes whenever he looked at her artiste; there were feelings of love and affection, which he seemed to be hiding, coming from him . It was hard to differentiate whether he was just acting or truly felt that way!

His every expression and eye contact revealed his adoration .

Not even a seasoned thespian talent could emote with such ardor .

When it came to the feel, it was either real or an act .

Hence, the scenes were mostly finished with a single cut . Even the perfectionist Lin Fengtian could not nitpick regarding their takes .

In this troubled and forbidden love, Yin Xiachun"s fearlessness and courage and Yin Dongyu"s buried adoration were wonderfully expressed by both artistes .

Everyone present was easily led into the plot by their acting . They secretly praised her excellent and believable acting and his sensitive portrayal of the character"s emotional depth .

Mu Xi, however, felt that the man was not just acting .

Was he too engrossed in the show he took his feelings for real?

Is he interested in her?

Soon, it was nighttime .

Only one more scene remained between the couple .

The scene was set in the school"s music room where the two were left by themselves .

According to the plot, this was when the two would reveal their affections for each other .

Yin Xiachun had dragged her brother over to the music room in the middle of the night so that he could teach her how to play a piece by Chopin .

Yin Dongyu would teach her the finger work while sitting next to her when she, in a momentary lapse of reason, suddenly drew close to kiss him on his lips .

He was taken aback . Abruptly, the music notes halted .

His sister was unable to control the affections welling within her as she clutched at his chest and put her lips on his .

The first kiss between the two protagonists happened in this scene; it was considered as one of the climaxes in the show . The original fans voted this as one of their most-antic.i.p.ated scenes .

Lin Fengtian had high hopes for this scene, too .

Beforehand, Mu Yazhe laid down the ground rule that Yun Shishi was forbidden from having any kissing or hugging scenes . This put the director in a fix . This was because this scene could not be completed with a stand-in .
