Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 115 - 105: So You Finally Couldn’t Resist Getting a Sex Change?

Chapter 115: Chapter 105: So You Finally Couldn’t Resist Getting a Sex Change?

Xie Qingci is always mixing "darling" and "sister," and he manages the balance really well, making her heart race often.

Yu Xia thinks he’s not becoming bad, just getting better at certain tricks.

She softly hums a tune, then casually says:

"But pretending to be pitiful is like how a concubine gets a cramp, use it twice and it won’t work anymore, darling."

She has never called him that before, and two minutes went by without any message from Xie Qingci, but she could hear his disrupted breathing through the speaker.

A moment later, Xie Qingci laughed.

He felt a bit complicated.

[Xie Qingci: I don’t know if I should be upset for being compared to a concubine or happy because you called me darling]

[Xie Qingci: Could you call me with a different name again?]

"Of course. Xie Qingci, are you dreaming?"

[Xie Qingci: ...]

[Xie Qingci: Alas]

After joking a bit, Yu Xia brought the topic back to serious matters.

"I saw Song Xi today who seemed quite meek and looked quite scared when he saw me. What did you say to him?"

She spent yesterday being angry and didn’t think much about why Xie Qingci said Song Xi was showing off his wound on purpose.

Song Xi daring to press Xie Qingci with that scar is just absurdly brave; his mind must’ve been unhinged to do something so bizarre.

And Xie Qingci definitely wouldn’t let Song Xi disturb him without doing or saying something that would hit Song Xi harder.

Judging by Song Xi’s frail demeanor today, it probably wasn’t something like "you wait for me, my Ultraman is coming for your life tomorrow" type of trash threats.

Xie Qingci slowly replied: [I figured out what reason would make me willingly delete the chat record]

Yu Xia frowned, wondering why he was avoiding answering her question.

"What reason?"

[Xie Qingci: The chat includes Song Xi’s name, which is so annoying it needs to be deleted]

"... You’re really something."

No matter what, he refused to say more about Song Xi, leaving just a simple statement: "crush him along his sore spot."

If she asked more, he unhappily negotiated, requesting to meet again in the next few days.

Meeting him, what more could be done?

Yu Xia flatly refused, saying she instantly lost interest in the matter.

It went on late until she started yawning, and only then did Xie Qingci reluctantly end the call, as usual with a "good night" to wrap it up.

The new day began with Yu Xia waking naturally, finding the sunshine already filling the room.

She wore a loose nightgown, barefoot on the ground, first stepping onto the scale to weigh herself, discovering a slight loss in weight, and nodded with satisfaction, then leisurely headed to the bathroom.

The hem swayed around her calves, her chest out, waist slim, and hips lifted, turning the ordinary nightgown into a dress appearing specially tailored.

After changing clothes, she went to the dance studio, entering to find the dance teacher with a face that said "come over quickly, I have hot gossip to tell you."

... How does it feel like she’s surrounded by a group of gossip pioneers?

She got curious, gladly walking over to ask, "What happened, another big news?"

"Lately it’s all big news, but this type hasn’t appeared yet today."

She tied her hair, then extended her leg onto the bar for stretches, asking, "What type?"

"A girl who got pregnant before marriage is looking for a boyfriend online."

Yu Xia: "?"

She was startled: "What kind of operation is this?"

The dance teacher helped her behind, pressing her back, saying in a tone filled with deeper meaning: 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"That boy band that disbanded before, ty, there’s an idol who dated, got a girl pregnant, yet didn’t want the baby. Besides, wanting her to abort isn’t enough, he intended to dump her after the child’s gone. Now, the girl foresaw the trouble, didn’t go to the hospital, decided to expose everything online in revenge against the male idol."

An idol dating equals giving up their career; this is widely acknowledged in the entertainment industry. Let alone getting a girl pregnant and not taking responsibility; such news would ruin that idol’s career completely.

She inhaled deeply, enduring the pain while continuing to stretch and chat about the gossip: "Is it true?"

False news is rife in the entertainment industry. Many people think it’s not illegal to talk recklessly, so they keep saying eye-catching gossip with hints and allusions.

Despite being false, once it spreads widely, before getting clarified and giving the person involved innocence, the mob of netizens has already destroyed their future.

In the same circle, she eats the gossip but needs to ask the truth first.

Dance teacher: "Seems like it is, chat records, transfer records, and photos are all released, clearly laid out, seems like a firm strike."

She commented besides: "Recently, the gossip is overwhelming, no need to judge its truth anymore, and so far all these sensational gossips have been true, coming with strong evidence."

Yu Xia also expressed: "With things in the circle recently seeming tense, maybe the girl felt this story would catch attention, hence she boldly released it."

Otherwise, given how agents and companies usually spin things to keep peace, this news would likely be blocked from spreading, much less be so widely circulated.

"Tell me about it, girls who aren’t love-obsessed aren’t just smart," the dance teacher said, "I sense this is just the beginning; many similar events are bound to happen."

She deeply agreed.

There’s always a second when there’s a first, like tearing a paper, once the fire starts, it can’t just burn one place.

Watching the gossip the next day, indeed this fire spread to other spots.

Sun Jun, Fan Chu were formally arrested, entertainment reporters blew up about a certain newly-popular girl group member promiscuous behavior, a certain boy band member drug use.

Throughout several days, incidents kept surfacing in boy and girl groups, making many netizens start criticizing talent shows and the idols who rose to fame through them.

Companies promoting idol groups facing their biggest career crisis yet.

Someone predicted Xie Qingci’s group might be the last batch of boy bands debuting from talent shows.

At this time, having your name show up on trending searches generally meant being implicated and affecting public favor; most artists in the circle stayed on their best behavior, avoiding involvement.

Yu Xia stayed bouncing between home and the dance studio, didn’t even visit the company, feeling a bit unfamiliar upon seeing He Ci again.

"He, you... did you finally decide to go through gender reassignment? Don’t be like this, so many people envy men, your ex-boyfriend didn’t dislike you because you were a man, purely just didn’t like you."

He Ci sat in the nanny car’s passenger seat, staring at him expressionless.

"If you can’t speak well, get down and run beside the car to the show group."

She shrank her neck, fell silent, and got in the car obediently.

Mei whispered while laughing: "He is channeling grief into working out, heard he got two gym memberships in one go, doing weights daily."

Yu Xia showed an understanding expression.

No wonder his chest nearly matches Mei’s.
