Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself

Chapter 483: You’re Such a Lap Dog

After returning to the small building, Yu Xia earnestly stared at Xie Qingci in front of her for quite some time.Xie Qingci wasn’t afraid of being scrutinized by her; even if her gaze became more intense, it wouldn’t matter. He even propped up his head and met her gaze.

The magnetic field between the two was almost tangible, and Yuan Wang couldn’t squeeze in, scrunching his face like a Shar Pei to express his speechlessness.

The photographer was also an experienced veteran. He immediately moved the camera to find the perfect angle, just enough to frame Yuan Wang’s face between the heartfelt gaze of Yu Xia and Xie Qingci.

The effect was surprisingly good, and the photographer himself almost burst into laughter.

After a while, Yu Xia finally let out a long breath, patted Xie Qingci’s handsome face, and said:

"Didn’t expect anything could become a trend."

A seemingly nonsensical statement, yet everyone understood it.

Xie Qingci held the hand that patted his face, and very skillfully buried his head in her neck, while his other hand wrapped around her waist, tightening his hold.

"Would you pat me so happily too?"

He was referring to the earlier incident where after Ling Yan teasingly scolded Qian Ling, she still hugged him tenderly to comfort and pat him.

Before Yuan Wang could react, Yu Xia replied, "What dream are you having? Jealousy depends on the occasion. If you hit Yuan Wang here, do you think I would still pat... No, I definitely would pat you, to send you to the hospital."

Xie Qingci: "..."

Yuan Wang was touched: "I didn’t expect you to respect my human rights this much."

"Because hitting you definitely wouldn’t end so easily. If I hit you first, maybe they’ll let him go."

As the saying goes, two kids make a mistake, the one from your family gets a harder punishment, and the other parents would say ’forget it’.

Yuan Wang was speechless, stood up, and went into the room.

"I’ll just sleep through the remaining time; once I wake up, I’ll be far away from you both."

Yu Xia didn’t try to stop him at all: "That’s good, with you here, I’m embarrassed to do something else."

Xie Qingci stared directly at her.

She slapped his face away: "Don’t overthink it, I’m talking about whispering sweet nothings!"

He maintained the position of having his face slapped, lazily saying: "Not overthinking, weren’t you going to whisper? Go ahead, say it, or should I say it to you?"

Yu Xia really wanted to refuse, but upon meeting his eyes, she thought... a little listening shouldn’t be a problem.

So she, as if condescending, sat still and merely beckoned him with her finger.

Xie Qingci leaned over, his lips touching her ear, whispering a few words very softly.

No one else could hear, but they could see Yu Xia’s intense reaction as she pushed Xie Qingci away abruptly and ran upstairs.

As for Xie Qingci, he stood up, leaned against the door frame, watched her running upstairs, and said, "Slow down, Sister."

Totally acting like someone who’d just done something bad.

In the tranquil afternoon, the sun was brilliantly enveloping everything. After Xie Qingci also went upstairs, the small building fell quiet.

In the afternoon, Yu Xia was carried downstairs by Xie Qingci.

Yuan Wang watched in shock.

"I’ve never seen Yu Xia so quiet and docile before." Although it was because she had just woken up, it was really different from the Yu Xia he usually knew.

He moved from the sofa to beside Xie Qingci and whispered: "I thought usually in your interactions, I mean in some ways, it would be you who’s weak, her who’s strong."

Xie Qingci didn’t mind this comment and even nodded in agreement: "That’s right."

After all, he was tightly held in her hands.

Yuan Wang’s eyes widened: "But that’s not how it is. In the film crew, even when she’s asleep, she looks like someone you shouldn’t mess with, never like this cozy puppy image."

Yu Xia couldn’t hold back any longer and opened her eyes to stare at him.

"I’m not fully awake; it’s not that I can’t wake up. Do you think I can’t hear you?"

What puppy, what a lousy description.

Yuan Wang awkwardly moved back a few centimeters: "Mainly because I couldn’t think of any other description. Or would you prefer the analogy of a little kitten?"

"...Forget it, can you skip this description?"

She could be a little kitten in a relationship, but she wouldn’t allow others to say it out loud!

"Alright. Can you sit up by yourself? Talking to me while lying in someone’s arms feels very strange."

It’s like stepping into someone else’s bedroom and saying to someone else’s girlfriend who’s still in bed, "The day has dawned, stop whatever you’re doing, let’s start discussing international affairs." It’s too weird.

Pointing this out made Yu Xia really feel a sense of embarrassed anger. She pushed Xie Qingci away with a stiff face, sat between the two, and said without any emotional fluctuation: "When exactly are you leaving? Don’t you have work to attend to? Why hasn’t your agent gotten you a gig yet?"

Xie Qingci just smiled, watching her rebut.

When it was time in the evening to write letters, the program team said the new guests also had to write, one to their own friend, and also to the next new guest coming here.

Liu Ji asked, "Does this mean more new guests will come later? And this time, are they boy’s friends?"

The director nodded: "They will arrive tomorrow afternoon and will also participate in your room allocation challenge."

Are the boy’s friends all girls?

This time, all the girl’s friends were boys, so normally the boy’s friends should also all be girls.

But who are Xie Qingci’s female friends? And in the industry too?

After delivering the letter, Yu Xia asked him when they returned to Heyue: "Who do you think will come?"

Xie Qingci wasn’t sure: "If it has to be a girl, it seems only Shu Ran fits the bill."

"Can’t afford her," Yuan Wang whispered, "and I remember Shu Ran recently went abroad on a trip with their squad."

Yu Xia: "Then who else could it be? Your company, apart from Shu Ran, doesn’t have any other female artists. Any female collaborators you usually work with?"

Xie Qingci shook his head directly: "Not familiar, bringing them would be useless."

The guest invited must be somewhat familiar with and knowledgeable about this ’friend’. Those artists he only collaborated with once and didn’t communicate privately don’t meet the requirements.

After racking his brains, he couldn’t think of anyone else, and Yuan Wang continued to tut on the side.

"Are you controlling too strictly? He doesn’t even have two female friends, how is that okay? In the entertainment industry, the more friends, the better for getting jobs in the future."

Yu Xia rolled her eyes at him: "What’s this have to do with me? Did you see me putting a sack over him?"

Yuan Wang looked at Xie Qingci: "So, you don’t like interacting with girls?"

"I’ve just debuted not long ago and haven’t met many female artists yet. Also, since I’m dating, isn’t it normal to maintain a suitable distance from other girls?"

This answer made Yu Xia feel completely at ease, and she took the opportunity to touch his hand twice as encouragement.

Xie Qingci looked down and laughed softly.

Yuan Wang didn’t notice anything and was still pondering the credibility of his statement.

In the end, he attributed Xie Qingci’s adherence to the standard of being a good boyfriend to Yu Xia’s invisible oppression.

"You’re indeed smart, although some things haven’t occurred yet and their outcomes are unknown, being honest from the start is quite necessary. After all, anyone can see she doesn’t like her possessions being too close to others."

Who knows, one second she says "I don’t mind you making female friends," the next she sees Xie Qingci bump into a girl, and she could stare them into tears without showing any expression.
