Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 114: I Just Want to Hear Your Voice

According to the compromise made by the production team, there are only two more indoor and outdoor spin-off shows left for next week.

Once the second round is over and the third round is chosen, the brothers will have more time to spend on rehearsals. After all, the focus of a talent show is on selecting an all-around idol who can sing and dance, not a gaming champion.

Yu Xia was a bit curious about that competitive match.

Winning the priority to choose a female guest partner through a competitive match is quite a selling point.

She wondered which group of brothers would choose her at that time. To avoid embarrassment then, she had to work hard on her dancing lately.

Evening.

The special phone call time had arrived again. The call came quite early this time, and before Yu Xia even answered, Xie Qingci had already sent two messages in a row.

He seemed very eager.

[Xie Qingci: Sis, pick up the phone]

[Xie Qingci: I miss you so much]

Yu Xia leisurely tapped to answer.

"Miss me? How much?"

[Xie Qingci: Want a detailed description?]

[Xie Qingci: Like trembling all over, feeling feverish, and breathing rapidly?]

She chuckled softly and casually said, "Then you’re falling ill, better see a doctor quickly."

[Xie Qingci: Indeed, sick]

[Xie Qingci: Maybe hyperthymesia? Just a kiss from you, and I can vividly recall everything]

Recall what? Other than certain things, she couldn’t think of anything related to kissing.

She was momentarily at a loss for words, paused for two seconds, and softly cursed, "Pervert."

[Xie Qingci: I admit it, it’s not like you don’t know]

[Xie Qingci: Since you’re willing to kiss me, does that mean this matter is over? I won’t make you angry in the future]

He really knew how to play it cute in writing, but when he spoke, coupled with his voice that had nothing to do with a cute boy, it sounded quite domineering.

She absentmindedly recalled him speaking close to her ear, then said irritably, "Promises and vows are the most useless things, I won’t believe them."

[Xie Qingci: Ah, you sound experienced]

[Xie Qingci: Come to think of it, don’t I listen to you thoroughly, just a beckoning and I’m yours]

He knew she had two boyfriends before him, both in the entertainment industry, and even now fans online still mention those two relationships.

He had also searched online about those two people and thought they were nothing special.

But compared to him, she had more dating experience, and as an actress, she often experienced various emotions in dramas. Plus, with her alluring appearance and plenty of suitors, knowing how to win a man’s heart wasn’t surprising.

Wasn’t he a prime example? Today’s hug, kiss, every step was led by her, and he was willing to let her lead, as long as it achieved the goal, who led made no difference to him.

Yu Xia didn’t expect him to say that.

"Just a beckon and you listen to me?" she said slowly, "Then listen to me, hang up the phone, right now, if you don’t, you’re my son."

Xie Qingci was silent for a long time.

[Xie Qingci: Let’s pretend I didn’t say anything]

[Xie Qingci: Today’s new drama outfit photos look really beautiful]

Naughty brother, changing the subject.

She stifled a laugh, purposefully asking, "Which looks better, the suit or the evening gown?"

[Xie Qingci: Evening gown, you look great in bright red, but the suit also looks especially good, in short, as long as it’s you, it’s beautiful]

[Xie Qingci: Is the new show about to start filming?]

"You’ve got a sweet mouth. Yes, in a few days it will start filming, and I’ll be spending most of the time with the crew, only coming back during performances."

[Xie Qingci: So no more spin-off shows or routine guidance?]

Yu Xia: "No, the production team plans to reduce spin-off shows to give you more time to rehearse, after next week there won’t be any. Also, once I join the crew, aside from performances, for several months we won’t see each other."

Xie Qingci seemed to be considering something, and after a while, he sent another message.

[Xie Qingci: Can we still stay in touch at night?]

He made it sound like she was going off to war and couldn’t sneak around, Yu Xia let out a couple of laughs, and her firm words softened at the end.

"It might be hard to keep in touch, sometimes shoots run very late, and with a lot of night scenes, the schedule is irregular, mostly clashing with your rest time."

He didn’t message back immediately, and a low, dejected sigh came through the speaker.

Such a pitiable look.

She opened her mouth and added.

"You can send me messages, I’ll reply when I have time to see them, no need for calls."

[Xie Qingci: No, I want to hear your voice]

[Xie Qingci: I’ll call you three times a day, if you’re free, pick up, if not, I’ll message, how about that]

This isn’t troublesome for her, so she nodded and agreed.

"But only at this time, don’t use your phone at other times, focus on rehearsals. Also, I’m serious about reducing contact and deleting chat records."

Their conversations were peculiar, with the message logs showing only Xie Qingci messaging her.

Whenever she opened them, she felt like he was a self-talking nutcase harassing a female celebrity because she never replied in writing.

And his messages always included sentences like "I miss you" or "Want to kiss you" or "Can’t bear not being with you every day" or "I’m losing it," somewhat sounding like a lunatic.

Thinking of this, she asked, "Have you deleted the chat logs?"

[Xie Qingci: Not yet, can’t bear to]

Without hesitation, she retorted, "It’s just your monologue, what’s there to keep? Clinging to your eloquently cute phrases?"

[Xie Qingci: ...... I’m deleting them now]

[Xie Qingci: Sigh, sis, you’re so fierce]

[Xie Qingci: But I still like it]

"..." She really couldn’t help but mock him, "Xie Qingci, where did you learn all this from? You never used to be like this."

[Xie Qingci: Then what was I like before?]

What was he like before?

Yu Xia rolled her eyes back as she recalled, they didn’t spend much time together back then, mostly indulging on Friday nights.

Before answering her call, he often went to play basketball or to a boxing gym with friends. He always came back drenched in sweat.

He didn’t speak much, his expressions were calm, he only showed that satisfied smile and said embarrassingly sweet things when overwhelmed. Maybe it was because they weren’t too familiar then?

Overall, his confident yet restrained demeanor was very masculine, yet he was just a freshly adult boy, so the mix of maturity and innocence was very attractive to her.

Stopping her memories there, she coughed and said, "Anyway, not like this, I never saw you act so pitiful back then."

[Xie Qingci: Well, who can blame me, acting pitiful works, my dear]
