Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 139: Yu Xia Shines on Stage Today

"Different Paths" Scene Fourteen, First Take.

"Come on, just one more time, I finally felt the wind." Qiao Yun lay on Gu Zhun’s back, leaning forward with a pitiful look at him.

Gu Zhun turned back and poked her forehead, "Miss, if we do it again, I have to take you up on the bike, climbing up is tiring."

"But I want to feel the wind rushing down again," she pouted, kissed his fingertip as if to coax him, and quickly retreated, "Please?"

Gu Zhun’s hand shook slightly, his ears turned red, he was silent for two seconds, then said, "Hold tight."

Qiao Yun deliberately dragged out her voice, "I knew it, Gu Zhun is the be—st——"

Then there was a fresh smile, filling the hearts of the young ones.

Gu Zhun was drenched in sweat, finally managed to ride up the slope, and then raced down again.

The wind brushed past the faces of the boy and girl, the coolness replacing the stuffiness, Qiao Yun shouted joyfully, "Gu Zhun! I like you the most!"

Gu Zhun’s secret delight swelled infinitely, and he couldn’t help but shout loudly, "What did you say?"

"I said, I like many people, but I like you the most! Is that okay?"

"You just say sweet things to coax people." Gu Zhun didn’t give in with his words, but his mouth subtly curved up where Qiao Yun couldn’t see.

Qiao Yun squinted her eyes, opened her arms wide, feeling the cool breeze, blowing away her boredom and impatience with Gu Zhun.

When the "wind blowing" ended, she still hugged Gu Zhun’s waist, not ready to let go. Gu Zhun didn’t rush her either, quietly but awkwardly supporting the bike, feeling the softness pressing against him from behind, his head almost steaming.

"Gu Zhun, I’m so tired."

Gu Zhun half-annoyed, half-amused, "What are you tired from? You’ve just been sitting still."

"But I’m just tired," she hooked his hand, speaking softly, "Carry me back? There are a lot of stairs at the doorstep."

"What if I’m tired too?"

"Well..." Her eyes darted around, glanced at his ears, then like lightning, stood up and kissed him, "Then I’ll kiss you! Tired or not?"

Gu Zhun, flustered, lost his balance as the bike was about to fall sideways. He disregarded his feet and hurriedly lunged back to hold her.

Qiao Yun’s hands took advantage of the situation to wrap around his neck, seemingly not scared at all.

"Now you really have to carry me!"

After a while, Gu Zhun with a flushed face picked her up.

"Hold, hold tight."

She leaned closer to his face and whispered, "Gu Zhun, I like you so much."

Then watched his ears turn red inch by inch with bright eyes.

"Gu Zhun, your ears are so cute, hahaha!"

Gu Zhun tightly pursed his lips, but his eyes were full of laughter.

"Cut!"

Yu Xia swiftly jumped off Yu Zhi’s back, pressed down her skirt edges, and ran back to the assistant under the parasol like a ruthless ex.

So quickly out of character, the surrounding crowd hadn’t recovered from the sweet gossip yet.

Mei handed her a water cup, quietly asked, "Sis, were you guys really this sweet back then?"

Her ex reminiscing about past sweetness on set, not sure whether to feel regret or annoyance.

"Weren’t you already at the company?"

"But I hadn’t joined your team yet, didn’t know about your sweet daily life."

After drinking enough water, she denied mercilessly, "What sweet daily life, no sweetness, just busy working and meeting often during filming. Stop thinking about gossip, I’m a pristine work machine!"

Behind her, Yu Zhi rolled his eyes.

The director stood aside watching the playback, and said with satisfaction, "The expression was very good, very natural."

Looking at his expression, it was obvious he wanted to say more.

Something like "No wonder you’ve really experienced love" or "Were you guys really this sweet back then?" or "Why not reignite your old flame? Isn’t it more exciting to turn enemies later?"

But probably having noticed Yu Xia’s attitude, he didn’t say it and just praised both of them alternately.

Yu Xia humbly accepted, then asked a couple of questions to successfully suppress everyone’s gossip curiosity.

Perhaps she performed too well, Yu Zhi felt ashamed and disappeared for the rest of the scene, hiding who knows where.

Yu Xia naturally figured as such, feeling quite pleased with her performance skills.

After finishing the morning’s filming, she had to rush to the program team for a transformation.

When she left the hotel room, she bumped into Yu Zhi in the smoking area of the corridor.

One continued walking, while the other didn’t raise his head, passing by, making Mei exclaim with heartbreak.

"Your current state really feels like the eve of a long-time-separated couple’s reconciliation, reminiscing each other’s goodness from the past..."

"Stop, real life isn’t an idol drama, we have no possibility."

She put on headphones, listened to "Rose Boy," recalled dance moves, not touched at all by this "heartbreaking idol drama."

Mei sighed.

"Heard from other stars’ assistants, usually, it’s the male artist who’s this ruthless, Sis, do you really have no thoughts about dating?"

Yu Xia turned to smile at her, "I have thoughts, but not right now."

Mei didn’t take it seriously, hearing this was like hearing "I’ll definitely marry but not in this lifetime," sighed twice again.

"I’m so lucky to have a career queen like you as my boss."

No messy issues requiring desperate cleanup, Yu Xia has a good temper, and the salary is high in the assistant industry. Yu Xia’s not dating, no need for her to cover up, always worried about exposure and firing!

How great, she’s almost in love with the job.

Unaware of her inner thoughts, Yu Xia listened to the music in her headphones, took the time to pat her, like comforting a child.

...

On Sunday afternoon at three, "Limited Youth" started its third performance stage, with two thousand spectators checking tickets to enter.

In the waiting area, the boys were ready, watching the dense crowd through the broadcast screen, everyone was extremely nervous, some stood in the back practicing, afraid they’d forget the moves when the time came.

Shu Ran and the others sat in their respective team, dressed in various performance costumes, with heavy makeup.

Yu Xia was the last one to enter.

Today she had the true red rose look, dazzlingly flamboyant. Her red dress had a petal at the waist, with a gun holster on her thigh below the slit, with a fake gun that would pop out a rose flower.

Walking in from backstage, everyone in the waiting area turned to look at her.

She didn’t slow down, walked all the way to Xie Qingci and the others before pausing, raised an eyebrow, tapped the ground with her high heels, "Make some room for me."

A bunch of boys quickly shuffled left and right, creating a big enough space in the middle to fit two people, a brother at the edge fell down with an "ah."

"Looks pretty effective?" She stood still, Xie Qingci reacted, took off his jacket and handed it to her, then she elegantly sat down while covering below her waist. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Song Xi smiled and said, "Yu Xia is absolutely going to steal the show today."

She curled her lips into a smile, "I think so too."
