When Yu Qianxia arrived on set, she spotted a familiar figure, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Xu Hai was pushing a cold-looking man toward her, smiling as he said, "Come, come, Xiao Yu, this is your new male co-star. You should be pretty familiar with him already, right? I don't need to introduce him, haha."

Yu Qianxia silently looked at the man, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "We're working together again."

Yu Muqiu nodded lightly. "Mm, looking forward to it."

When "Starlight" signed Yu Qianxia, the female lead was announced, but the male lead had been kept a secret. It wasn't until the official start of filming that it was revealed—it was Yu Muqiu.

The news quickly spread online, and the CP fans went wild.

[Aaahhh, second collaboration, second collaboration! This is such a huge surprise!]

[They're so perfect for each other! I really hope they're actually dating!]

[Wuwuwu, can't wait for both "The Legend of Yan Yue" and "Starlight"!]

"Starlight" was a sci-fi film, and the romance between the male and female leads in this film was much more intense than in "The Legend of Yan Yue." The physical contact wasn't limited to just holding hands and hugging—there was even a kissing scene.

Since this was the first kiss for both of them on screen, Xu Hai asked them to practice privately, to build up the right emotions so that there wouldn't be any awkward pauses or mistakes during filming.

The two of them were asked to go to the rest area alone.

Yu Qianxia glanced at the man beside her and could feel that he was nervous.

Actually, during the filming of "The Legend of Yan Yue," even holding hands and hugging was rare. The romance between the male and female leads was more pure love. Even the few times they held hands or hugged, Yu Qianxia had a very vivid memory of it.

The man's palm had been sweaty, and his body temperature had been so high. Occasionally, when their chests brushed together, she could hear the strong, rapid heartbeat coming from his body.

Yu Muqiu was really nervous.

And now, it was the same.

Yu Qianxia turned to look at him. "Um... How about you go first?"

Since they were going to kiss anyway, might as well rehearse it now.

Yu Muqiu understood her meaning and froze for a moment. His body stiffened slightly. He turned to face her, his pitch-black eyes locking onto hers. After a long silence, he carefully asked, "...Is it okay?"

Yu Qianxia nodded. "Mm, go ahead."

In the script, it was the male lead who approached first.

Yu Muqiu took a deep breath, gathering the emotions his character should feel, and slowly leaned in.

The space between them grew smaller and smaller.

Close enough for Yu Muqiu to clearly see the fine hairs on her skin and for her breath to mingle with his.

He could hear his own heartbeat pounding heavier in his chest.

Yu Muqiu had never been this nervous before. He subconsciously clenched his sweaty palm.

The next second, a pair of cool, soft fingers brushed against his fingertips.

Yu Muqiu was momentarily startled, seeing her eyes open wide, with a hint of reassurance, consent, and encouragement in her gaze.

It seemed like she was encouraging him to break through his mental barrier, to make the scene even better.

But only Yu Muqiu knew he had hidden intentions.

Seeing that Yu Muqiu hadn't made the next move, Yu Qianxia leaned into him again, her soft lips grazing the corner of his mouth.

They both froze, a tingling sensation rising from their hearts.

Yu Muqiu's eyes darkened, and he tightened his palm, gently cradling the back of her head. His thin lips softly pressed against hers.

According to the script, this was supposed to be an innocent yet affectionate kiss.

Yu Muqiu could no longer tell if he was acting or if this was real. With his eyes tightly shut, his expression revealed unmasked affection and tenderness.

Their lips were pressed together, but there was no further movement—a simple kiss that lasted for several seconds.

Yu Qianxia felt her face heat up, the shyness coming on suddenly. She had always thought she wouldn't be as nervous as Yu Muqiu, but when it actually happened, she couldn't escape it.

At this moment, she couldn't even tell whether the emotions she was feeling were from her character or her own.

They pulled apart, and Yu Muqiu quickly averted his gaze. Yu Qianxia wasn't much better. She hurriedly stood up, speaking to his back, "Um, I think I can do it. For the actual filming, should we just go with this feeling?"

Yu Muqiu's face was bright red. His long eyelashes fluttered nervously. After a long pause, he softly muttered an "Mm."

After the rehearsal in the rest area, Yu Qianxia was much calmer when filming started, but Yu Muqiu was still very nervous. However, he hid it well. If Yu Qianxia hadn't heard his chaotic heartbeat, she might have thought he was calm enough!

The kiss scene was successfully filmed.

Next, the "Starlight" crew traveled to different locations and spent more than four months filming before finally wrapping up.

At the same time, "The Legend of Yan Yue" premiered on online platforms and major TV stations. "The Legend of Yan Yue" was Yu Qianxia's debut work, and her CP partner was still Yu Muqiu. Even before it aired, the topic had been hotly discussed, and now that it was airing, the viewership skyrocketed, reaching number one.

During the airing of the drama, both Yu Qianxia and Yu Muqiu's names appeared on trending topics daily, and discussions of the plot filled every major online platform.

After finishing the voice-over for "Starlight," Yu Qianxia went home for a visit.

Her next schedule involved more promotional work for "The Legend of Yan Yue," including variety show appearances and TV station interviews. Now, she had some time to rest.

Back at home, Yu Qianxia gave the tea she had bought to Yu Guangyi and also handed over a massage pillow for Grandma Yu.

She went next door, ringing the doorbell. It was Grandma Yu and her grandson who answered the door.

Grandma Yu greeted her with a warm smile, the wrinkles on her face turning into a flower-like expression, while the young man behind her remained quiet and still.

Since the wrap-up of "Starlight," she hadn't seen Yu Muqiu for some time. Their schedules were different. Yu Muqiu was not only busy with post-production work for the movie but also with matters concerning the company.
