"You're a guy. You can change your clothes here."

Dylan proceeded to change out of the red hoodie from the earlier scene's outfit into a long-sleeved white shirt and black pants, the clothes that were from Shancai's father.

Shen Yue studiously looked to the right, avoiding any eye contact in Didi's general direction.

"Hey, Shen Yue! You can look. What did you see at the swimming pool?" Dylan teased.

"Nothing that I want to see now," she retorted, her face still stuck to the wall. She hoped that no one could see that her ears were red.

Dylan grinned at Shen Yue's modesty. He knew he looked pretty good. He sat on his knees in the pull out bed next to her while she was under the covers of Shancai's bed.

"All right, all right. You really can look now." He lay down on the bed and stretched out his arms, placing his hands underneath his head.

Shen Yue turned around slowly with one eye closed and the other half open. Satisfied that Didi was fully dressed, she faced him with her head still on the pillow.

"All right! We're about to start!" the director called out.

Dylan leaned over on one elbow towards Shen Yue, looking at her very seriously. Thinking he was going to recite lines with her, she was surprised when he blew her bangs away from her face. She laughed and moved her head away. Always messing around, that one.

She turned back towards Didi only to be met again with another shot of air. She rolled her eyes at him.

"Are you going to do that until they start filming?"

"Maybe," he replied.

A makeup artist came by to do a final touch up for Shen Yue. Once finished, Shen Yue moved her head back on to the pillow only to discover that it was Dylan's hand.

"Dylan!" she exclaimed.

"Sorry, sorry," he said, giving her a winning smile and pulling his hand back.

She put her head against the pillow and closed her eyes. Dylan put both hands behind his head again and went over lines in his head. He turned to Shen Yue to see if she wanted to practice before filming started.

She looked like she was asleep.

"Shen Yue?"

"Hmm?" She looked over at him with half-open eyes.

"Did you just fall asleep?" he asked incredulously. Less than a minute had passed.

"The bed is so comfortable," she replied. It's also nice and warm, and I'm exhausted. She smiled drowsily at him and said, "When I lie in a bed, I get sleepy."

Dylan was concerned. She had fainted when they had filmed the cooking scene. He was worried that she was overworking herself.

Shen Yue noticed Didi's expression and gave him a reassuring smile. "If you want to keep blowing air in my face, you can be sure I'll wake up to smack you."

Dylan stared at her, then decided it was time to poke her face. She immediately held out a hand to block him and with her other hand, attempted to poke him in the face.

They both burst out laughing. Dylan brought his face closer to Shen Yue's and made an ugly face at her.

"You are too much!" she cried out, laughing and shaking her head at him, pushing him away.

She's so cute, he thought.

What a jokester, she thought. A handsome jokester, but a jokester nonetheless.

The thought they had at the same time: I'm having so much fun.
