Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 120: Have an Even Dumber One

Yu Xia listened carefully to Yu Yue’s recounting of recent encounters.

In simple terms, he failed his language exam again, with a page full of red crosses, giving his dad a headache, thus abandoning him for his mom’s embrace.

Later, his mom checked the paper, found him ridiculously foolish in some areas, got a headache too, and thus abandoned him for his dad’s embrace.

The two of them enjoying a sweet life together, while poor Yu Yue was beaten twice, left standing in the living room, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Wanting to send messages to the Little Strawberries to lament, he found out his mom hadn’t restored the internet yet, so every message he sent was marked with a red exclamation mark.

He was so upset he couldn’t eat, thus sneaking to the kitchen to grab snacks while his parents were all lovey-dovey.

Life was truly unbearable, Yu Xia laughed until she cried.

"Aunt! You’re still laughing! Do you have no heart?!"

Yu Xia: "Hahahahahaha!"

Laughing until Yu Yue was about to hang up with fury, she finally stopped, and sympathetically said: "It’s not that Aunt doesn’t have sympathy, it’s just that there’s nothing I can do to help you, aside from laughing, I can’t offer any other reaction."

"..." Yu Yue was furious, snorting like a pig in anger.

Then he let out an "Ah".

"No, Aunt, you can help me, by helping me escape this life from the root!"

Yu Xia was on her guard and refused immediately.

"Even if you pray to the Bodhisattva on New Year’s Day, your language score can’t be saved, don’t look for me!"

Yu Yue shouted in grief: "Not that! Aunt, you’re too much!"

She coughed slightly: "Sorry, I overreacted. So what’s your plan?"

"You hurry up and find a boyfriend to have a little brother, then you’ll know there’s someone even dumber!"

Yu Xia: "..."

Two seconds later, she yelled towards the phone: "Go to sleep, you little scoundrel! Serves you right for getting beaten by your parents!"

Yu Yue whined: "Aunt, why are you insulting me, I was just making a suggestion..."

Beep beep beep.

The call mercilessly disconnected.

Yu Xia tossed her phone aside, both angry and amused.

Lying down, she couldn’t help but think—how could her son be dumber than Yu Yue?!

The child’s parents are both smart, the child should definitely be intelligent. Back in the day, she was always top of her class in language during elementary and middle school.

No.

What am I thinking, talking about the child’s parents!

She pulled up the quilt, closed her eyes, and forced herself to sleep.

...

Tuesday is the broadcast day of Dormitory Diary.

After studying the script, Yu Xia stretched on the yoga mat, and casually opened Dormitory Diary to watch.

This episode’s title was "Xie Qingci Growing Body".

Upon clicking in, she found the main content was Xie Qingci’s daily eating routines.

Besides three meals a day, he had mid-morning snacks, afternoon snacks, and even during rehearsal needed to nibble on something.

Every day he’d run between the dorm, the cafeteria, and the rehearsal room, speaking little, except to a few close trainees, the person he interacted with most was the cafeteria lady.

Fortunately, he was indeed growing, otherwise, eating so much would make him a pig.

The latest two days in the dorm, footage showed Xie Qingci’s "early rise and late return."

Yu Xia often heard Wei Yaoyao mention his long rehearsal hours, but she hadn’t felt it directly until now.

This was summer, around six in the morning when it became light, yet it was still dark in the room when he got up, heading to the rehearsal room for two hours, eating breakfast, then returning there.

He was quiet, focused, casually walking among the crowd, passing through the long corridor into their rehearsal room, then taking a sip of water, beginning to learn singing.

He had a good voice but lacked techniques, had to learn on the spot, fortunately, he was smart, learning quickly from his teammates.

But using his voice continuously was tough, by evening, he was a bit overwhelmed, frowning slightly while swallowing the water.

Yu Xia gradually stopped her yoga routine, pursing her lips as she watched the video of him lowering his head to swallow the water.

The bullet screen was filled with concern and pity for him.

She felt a bit conflicted, thinking he shouldn’t have joined the talent show, then the next second felt glad he did.

The chaotic thoughts troubled her, making her wonder again: Are they doing the right thing? Can love really overcome all obstacles?

Xie Qingci could have been an excellent student at university, a good son at home, a golden boy among junior and senior colleagues in the workplace.

Living a life of freedom and boldness.

If it weren’t for her sudden intrusion a year ago, he indeed should have been walking this golden path.

But now he’s in the entertainment industry, with strained family relations, exhausted like this, and can only contact her secretly at night, seemingly nothing has turned out as he wished.

If they still end up separating for some reason in the future, would Xie Qingci blame her, regret everything he did for her?

She didn’t want to be a cause of regret for someone else.

Yu Xia reined in her thoughts.

After this period, once the talent show concluded, she would have a proper talk with Xie Qingci, considering their relationship seriously, whether to get back together or completely... part ways.

Dormitory Diary continued to play, she picked up the tablet, initially not planning to watch further, but unexpectedly, the shot switched to the gym at the base.

A row of boys were doing handstands against the wall, their training clothes naturally sliding down, exposing their waists and backs.

Some were facing forward, exposing half their chests.

Her hands lowering the tablet suddenly couldn’t straighten, she lifted it higher for a closer look.

Xie Qingci, Wei Yaoyao, Ning Yunchao, Chi Qiao, Song Xi, Pei Lu were all there.

Xie Qingci was first, she spotted him in an instant. He was handstanding back outward, pink training clothes sliding to his chest, exposing his waist and back, the muscles on his back tightened, the spine line superb and prominent.

The cameraman seemed pretty excited too, rushing over with a shaky lens, getting right in their faces, filming them one by one, then asking:

"What are you all doing?"

Wei Yaoyao’s face almost flushed with blood, answering with difficulty through gritted teeth: "Following Xie Qingci, learning, learning combat, he said this is how you qualify for the elite class."

Saying it, he just fell.

"I can’t do it anymore, I admit I’m a noob!"

Chi Qiao remained in good condition, still glancing around.

"I thought Song Xi would be the first to give up, didn’t expect it would be you, Wei Yaoyao, you noob."

Among them, Song Xi was the skinniest, also most fitting the idol physique. Didn’t expect he managed to hold on for so long.

Song Xi didn’t speak, but Pei Lu chimed in.

The camera was already back on Xie Qingci.

Looking across this row, his waist and back were the most captivating, his muscles faintly visible, making his shoulders wide and waist narrow in this state.

From behind the camera, someone quietly asked him: "You seem pretty relaxed, can you do a more advanced move, like push-ups while upside down?"

"Sure." Xie Qingci’s voice didn’t tremble at all.

He then bent his arm downwards, the muscles near his sleeves bulging, a few seconds later, he steadily straightened his arms back to a handstand.

The bullet screen went insane.
