Holding the plastic knife that was used to cut the cake, Xia Ling paused.
She looked at Shen Sibai and handed the plastic knife over.
"It's too beautiful. I'm a little reluctant to cut it. Shen Sibai, why don't you do it?"
Sitting opposite her, the man's lips curved slightly.
"Okay."
His slender hand took the plastic knife.
Shen Sibai seemed to have OCD. He stood up and started from the middle of the little rabbit, cutting the small cake into two halves.
Then...
He cut a piece of the little rabbit's ear and gave it to Xia Ling.
Xia Ling: "Thank you."
Shen Sibai: "You're welcome."
The director pulled the scene far away, creating a distant view.
It was a beautiful afternoon. A man from Tsinghua University and a pure and beautiful woman.
Drinking fruit tea and eating cake...
The atmosphere was stiff at the beginning, but it gradually became relaxed.
The man's calm and relaxed manner, the woman's faint smile.
In such a beautiful afternoon, it was like a moving love song, about to start its moving melody.
The scene stopped there.
"Cut!"
The assistant director in charge of them called for a stop.
At this point, Xia Ling and Shen Sibai's first scene had been completed.

Xia Ling looked at Shen Sibai and smiled at him. Then, she got up and returned to the living room.
Shen Sibai sat there, his slender fingers stroking the warm body of the glass. His eyes darkened, and then he smiled as well.
He got up and went to the living room.
The Assistant Director and the other directors were watching their recording playback.
Whether it was Shen Sibai or Xia Ling.
They were both people who had a strong sense of the camera.
They would appear at the center of the scene at the right time and would not let unimportant things teal the spotlight.
And today, Xia Ling brought the fruit tea to the dining table.
It was placed on the balcony. The lighting was very good and the color tone was saturated.
Later on, no matter what they did, it would be very aesthetically pleasing.
"Very good!"
The assistant director looked at Shen Sibai and Xia Ling with appreciation.
"Best Actor Shen, Best Actress Xia Ling. With the two of you here, I can imagine that our recording progress will be much faster! The two of you, we can call it a day today!"
Xia Ling smiled brightly. "Director Wang, you're too kind. I don't dare to be called Best Actress. I'm still inexperienced. I still have to thank Best Actor Shen for his cooperation today. Director, please call me Contagion."
Director: "You're too kind."
The two parties exchanged pleasantries.
Shen Sibai had been standing calmly by the side. The director was used to it. Before he left, he even greeted Shen Sibai.
It looked like they were both Best Actor and Best Actress.
Shen Sibai's status in the entertainment industry and the amount of traffic he brought was far beyond Contagion's reach.
This time, when Shen Sibai participated in the reality show, it was the same as before.
There was probably no need for publicity. As long as there were some highlights, Shen Sibai's fans would be happy.
Just thinking about that scene was a little scary!
The program team also did not know how Shen Sibai had the courage to participate in a love reality show like theirs.

The director and the production team left.
Looking at Shen Sibai, Xia Ling's lips curled into a smile.
"Mr. Shen, the filming is over, you..."
After the filming was over, the woman treated him, returning to the way Shen Sibai used to look when he saw her, gentle, elegant, but distant.
She seemed to be deliberately drawing a line between them.
However, as far as he knew, the boyfriend she was talking about had already broken up with her.
Moreover, he had a true love and was going to get engaged in six months.
Shen Sibai looked at the elegant and distant woman and unconsciously took a step towards her.
"Nihilan, I... have something to ask you."
Xia Ling asked, "What is it, Mr. Shen?"
