The camera panned on her guilty and shy face, giving her another close-up.
Gu Xingze, then, reached out and lightly dipped his fair finger into the cake before putting it in his mouth for a taste. A tender smile instantly spread across his face as his eyes, which were seemingly filled with stars, fell on her reddening face.
"Thank you. The cake is delicious; I like it very much!"
As soon as he spoke, Yun Shishi looked at him in astonishment and disbelief.
"It's clearly a failed product…" she mumbled dazedly.
The man was not bothered. Picking up a small slice of the cake, he took a satisfactory bite at it with such tenderness. "It's very sweet!"
Embarrassed, she immediately asked, "Are you comforting me?"
"Nope."
"I'm sure it tastes awful; some areas are even burned. Don't force yourself to eat it if you find it awful. I'll feel guilty if you do so."
He glanced at her affectionately. "I'll like anything you make yourself."
The woman was surprised by his answer.
He then solemnly said, "I'll eat this all up!"
…
As the recording gradually progressed, after a brief exchange, the two went behind the counter and began to make desserts and coffee.
Of course, the purpose of it was to create the best ambiguous and romantic scenes.
In a particular scene where she was standing at the side of the counter as she carefully beat the egg yolks, he suddenly gave her a back hug from behind and held her hands to beat the eggs together.
This scene was especially romantic. With post-editing, it would surely be as aesthetically beautiful as an exquisite MV.
Holding her half in his embrace, he carefully held her wrist and helped her beat the egg yolks.
The actress, meanwhile, shyly dipped her head to hide her rosy cheeks.
After they were done making the desserts, it was time for them to enjoy their creations.
Naturally, the desserts they had made could not be eaten.
They were done for the sake of the show—hence, the taste was awful.
The production team served the couple the desserts prepared prior to the recording before they continued the shoot.
This scene required them to feed each other food.
Scooping up a mouthful of a dessert, the superstar delivered the spoon to her lips.
All the while that Yun Shishi was acting, she was silently thinking about the number of threatening letters she would receive once this reality show segment was aired.
His fans were definitely going to send her knife blades!
She could not help shuddering in fear at the thought of this.
Gu Xingze was fully focused during the recording. Every look was precise as he vividly portrayed his role of a warm and considerate man.
The woman, too, portrayed her role of a pure campus belle very well.
It was just that the superstar's acting seemed too realistic and on point that the artist before him had a hard time telling whether it was real or not—whether he was just acting or actually revealing his true feelings!
The hidden tenderness in his deep-set eyes seemed to be pouring out when he gazed at her affectionately!
She could not help feeling stunned; her heart pounded thunderously at his affectionate gaze.
