The sight of Xin Hulei disquiets Yao Shen. They have to reshoot the scene three times on account of his inattention.
By the time his eyes drift towards the spot where Xin Hulei was standing, he's no longer there.
After they're done shooting, Gao Wu comes to see him, drifting in his direction as if blown by an invisible wind or a magnetic current.
Yao Shen expects him to mention their semi-disastrous date, or to ask him if he liked the fans that Yao Shen hasn't even taken out of the packaging.
Instead, he looks down at his script and chews on his bottom lip, lost in thought. "Director Chen wasn't happy with my performance. I think I'm gonna have to reshoot the closeups later."
Yao Shen hums in understanding. He makes the kind of commiseration whine that is the universal sound for "don't I know about it?".
