The vast majority of people in the city were sleeping soundly under the cover of night, but inside an old-style apartment, work began in a tense yet orderly manner. The director, following the notes in his journal, meticulously compared each detail on set to ensure everything was in place. The lighting indoors needed to be slightly dim and soft, while the bedsheet, too pristine and lacking wrinkles, required adjustment. The upcoming male and female protagonists appeared even more uneasy than the director. Besides handling obscure lines, they also had to face awkward gestures. Although the director had explicitly promised to minimize the number of staff present during the filming of the caressing scenes, the thought of those blushing, heart-pounding intense moments still made them nervous and uneasy. They were seasoned professionals under the glare of the mercury lights, and shooting intimate scenes wasn't their first rodeo; it wasn't something they could do offhandedly, but they could manage without panicking. However, this experience was different from the past. Many of the most private "games" would soon be revealed to the public—this was far beyond just sharing a kiss or even exposing a breast. The atmosphere began to take on a strange tone as they tried to chat casually and encourage each other. In reality, the more challenging part was yet to come, with such scenes being reenacted against various backgrounds many times over in the days ahead.
