Chapter 56 Advertising Shoot

The soft warm yellow light creates a hazy moonlit atmosphere.

The thin dry ice mist slowly flows on the ground, adding a touch of fairy air.

Everything was ready, Sheng Han and Shi Qing sat opposite each other at the quaint stone table.

In the middle of the stone table, there is a Qixi Festival limited edition gift box of exquisite "crispy pastry" red bean pastry.

The dark red brocade box was opened, revealing several uniquely shaped red bean pastries with the word "lovesickness" engraved on them lying quietly on the silk lining, alongside two exquisitely woven red rope bracelets with heart-shaped knots.

The director's voice came through the loudspeaker, with a hint of excitement.

"Okay, both teachers, please pay attention!"

"First, Mr. Sheng, please naturally pick up a piece of dessert and pass it to Mr. Shi."

"Teacher Shi, reach out and take it. Here comes the key point. The two of you need to have a very light and natural touch between your fingertips!"

"Remember, it's that unintentional feeling! Okay, ready. Action!"

Shi Qing took a deep breath, suppressed all her chaotic thoughts, concentrated her mind, nodded seriously, and her eyes fell on the snacks in front of her.

Sheng Han stretched out his slender and beautiful fingers and steadily picked up a piece of red bean pastry from the gift box.

He gracefully handed the small snack to Shi Qing sitting across from him.

Shi Qing also stretched out her hand at the right time, and her white and slender fingertips reached out to the dessert.

At the moment of handover, their fingertips inevitably touched lightly.

In just a moment, Shi Qing felt as if her fingertips were hit by a tiny electric current. The numbing sensation ran up along the nerves in her arm, causing her to shiver her fingers almost uncontrollably.

A heat quickly spread from the earlobes, and the small earlobes were instantly stained with a thin layer of crimson.

Sheng Han's action of handing over the snacks also paused for a moment because of this slight touch.

His deep eyes darkened, but he quickly calmed himself down and his expression returned to normal. He placed the snack steadily in Shi Qing's open palm.

However, just as he withdrew his hand, his thumb seemed to rub against Shi Qing's soft palm unintentionally.

That move was as light as a feather, but it carried a feeling that could not be ignored, which made Shi Qing's heart tremble.

She felt the slight weight of the snack, but the remaining touch in her palm was clearer.

Shi Qing subconsciously curled her fingers and looked down at the delicate dessert in her palm. Her heart was beating uncontrollably in her chest, so much so that she completely forgot about the next action and emotion required by the director.

Oh my god...why does this feel like having an affair!

Shi Qing felt secretly ashamed and annoyed in her heart. She couldn't help but raise her eyelids and glared at Sheng Han with a reproachful look.

Those wet eyes clearly said: It's all your fault!

The director keenly caught this small movement and Shi Qing's momentary stiffness, and immediately shouted "Cut".

"Teacher Shi, relax! Relax! You look a little flustered."

The director's voice didn't sound harsh, but rather smiling.

"Teacher Sheng's movements when handing over the snacks just now were very natural and steady! Excellent! We're looking for that subtle, yet captivating feeling of ambiguity."

"Come on, let's try another one! Teacher Shi, take a deep breath and don't be nervous!"

While the staff was adjusting the camera position, Shi Qing leaned forward slightly and warned Sheng Han in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, with a hint of embarrassment: "You...you are not allowed to move this time!"

Sheng Han looked at her red ears and her pair of watery eyes that were trying to appear calm. A mischievous smile flashed across his eyes, but his face showed complete innocence.

"How could I move?"

His actions just now perfectly met the director's requirement of "natural touch" and were as standard as they could be.

However, receiving Shi Qing's threatening gaze, Sheng Han nodded obediently and mouthed silently, "Okay."

The second take begins.

As expected, Sheng Han restrained all unnecessary movements, picked up the snack properly, and handed it over steadily.

Shi Qing also tried hard to block out the distracting thoughts in her mind, reached out and caught it.

The touch of the fingertips still existed, but Sheng Han's movements were steady and restrained, without the slightest extra pause or touch.

Although Shi Qing's heartbeat was still a little fast, it finally stopped.

"Good! This one passed! Very good!" The director clapped his hands with satisfaction.

"Next shot! Teacher Shi, now please pick up the snack in your hand and take a small bite. Remember to bite the mochi layer precisely!"

"Then, slowly pull it apart. We want to show the effect of the drawing! The longer the drawing, the better! Your expression should naturally show a little surprise and joy. Action!"

Shi Qing followed his instructions, brought the red bean pastry to her lips, and gently took a bite.

Sink your teeth into the soft and crispy outer layer and touch the chewy and soft mochi layer inside.

She slowly pulled it back, revealing a long, crystal-clear, resilient strand of mochi that shone with an alluring luster under the soft light, connecting the dessert to her lips and teeth.

"Wow……"

Shi Qing subconsciously cried out in surprise, her eyes widening involuntarily.

She originally thought that this special improved design would compromise the taste, but it didn’t at all!

It still tastes like what I remember!

The fluffiness of red beans and the chewiness of mochi are perfectly blended, sweet but not greasy.

Just as Shi Qing was immersed in the deliciousness of the dim sum and the memories, Sheng Han's gaze had already moved away from the long strips of mochi and was on her face.

Because she was holding a snack, one of her cheeks was slightly bulging, like a cute little hamster.

Further down, the corners of her rosy lips were accidentally stained with a little bit of golden pastry crumbs, like bits of gold, shining alluringly under the light.

Almost instinctively, Sheng Han leaned forward and stretched out his hand naturally.

His fingertips were slightly cool as they gently brushed across the corner of Shi Qing's mouth, wiping away the debris for her.

This action is too sudden!

Shi Qing was completely frozen, and her breathing stopped at that moment.

She could clearly feel the rough texture of his fingertips with thin calluses, which formed a sharp contrast with the most sensitive and delicate skin at the corners of her lips.

The touch was a hundred times clearer than the brief contact of their fingertips just now. It was so intimate that it made her scalp tingle and a tiny shudder quietly ran up her spine.

Their eyes suddenly met in mid-air.

Shi Qing forgot to chew the snack in her mouth, and Sheng Han forgot to take back the fingers that were resting on her lips.

The air was filled with the sweet aroma of snacks, the cool vapor of dry ice, and a silent ambiguity that was almost tangible.

Behind the monitor, the director's eyes were surprisingly bright!

This impromptu action of wiping the corner of the mouth, coupled with Shi Qing's genuine stiffness and Sheng Han's focused and almost affectionate gaze in his eyes, was a hundred times more perfect than what was designed in the script!
