Dylan brought his right hand up to Shen Yue's forehead. She immediately leaned back and blocked his hand with her right hand to prevent his hand from touching her. Brushing aside her hand with his right, Dylan then put his left hand on her forehead and addressed the staff: "Like this?"

"Yes, that's right. Try it again."

Dylan reached his right hand out and placed it on Shen Yue's forehead, staring at her intently. She couldn't hold in her laughter. He leaned in close to her face and scrunched up his nose.

"Get out of here," she laughed. Her left arm, cradling the script, tried to block him from getting closer and her right arm slapped his hand off her forehead.

"Hey!" he cried out. "That hurt!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry," she initially said. Then she laughed as she said, "Serves you right."

"You really are Strong Strong," he said teasingly.

"One more time!" shouted the staff.

"Okay, okay," said Dylan. "Let's go."

He tried the scene again, reaching out his right hand, placing it on Shen Yue's forehead. She blocked his hand and he used his left hand to place it on her forehead.

"No, the frame doesn't look right. Try using your left hand first. She will block you with her right hand. Then come in with your right hand to check her temperature."

Dylan nodded. At one point, his right hand was on Shen Yue's forehead while her right hand held his left. They were told to stare into each other's eyes, and as he did, he felt something inside him change.

"Cut! From the top!"

Shen Yue felt Dylan staring intensely in her eyes. Oh, she thought, he really is Daoming Si. She couldn't help but admire how closely he resembled his character. I believe that he cares for me, I mean, Shancai. As he moved his hand off her forehead, her eyes moved to the right and left as she gave an awkward facial expression. Her left hand was then supposed to cover her face. She realized she felt flushed.

"Cut! From the top!"

She was attracted to the community of shippers because thinking about Meteor Garden and her favorite OTP (one true pairing) brought her a lot of joy, and she found that the community was kind and positive. She loved seeing people posting their favorite Meteor Garden images, behind the scenes footage, and variety show GIFs.

As she watched interviews with Song Yiren, she thought, Song Yiren is really cute. I can sense that she and Dylan are good friends. I should make sure to support Didi and watch Ever Night 2.

She was still in the process of watching A Love So Beautiful. She could not get over how good of an actress Shen Yue was. She was looking forward to watching Count Your Lucky Stars and Another Me as well.

She couldn't help but get drawn into watching Meteor Garden yet again, though. The undeniable chemistry between Shen Yue and Dylan was just too irresistible.

Little ones, she thought, I am so happy to see you together.

There was too much going on in the world to think about posting about her favorite couple. The coronavirus, the death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and all the people on the helicopter. Suffering was everywhere, and it weighed on her mind.

How can we be lighthearted in a time like this?

She decided to meditate.

We can only control so much. We must remember that we are our own beacons. We can spread positivity and light to others. That much is within our control.

She found an image of Didi and Yueyue that never failed to bring a smile to her face. Maybe this will make someone's day, too.
