Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 150: Like It? It’s Yours

Saying goodnight through the screen for so long, this is the first time saying it face to face.

Being so close, Xie Qingci couldn’t bear to waste a single second, holding her tightly, impossible to push away.

Yu Xia lay in his arms, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes, speaking lazily to him: "I wonder how much my assistant will question life when she goes back, to think you’re her new idol crush, tsk."

"You trust her that much?"

"Of course," she yawned and continued, "As long as she’s with me, she’ll help cover up whatever I do. After all, we share both honor and damage. Do you really think no one knows about the bad things celebrities do? Their agents and assistants know best. When you look for an assistant... Xie Qingci?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

She called softly once, but he didn’t respond, clearly already asleep.

This week probably was the most exhausting in three months, with team rehearsals, group performances, and solo acts. Today’s singing and dancing all day, plus drinking, wasn’t easy.

It’s hard to believe he could stay up half the night before succumbing to sleep. Yu Xia smiled, leaned over and kissed his lips.

"Goodnight."

The next morning, Mei came to pick up Yu Xia for the crew.

However, she didn’t come upstairs, instead waiting in the underground parking lot and carefully called Yu Xia:

"Sis, are you up? Is it convenient for me to come up and grab something?"

Yu Xia had just woken up, and heard this, finding it amusing.

How does dating get her to say it like she’s really taking advantage of newcomers, how could she... A domineering actress bullying a poor idol?

Just as she was about to say something, the person behind her pressed close, wrapped his long arm around her, and directly spoke into the phone: "Not up yet, inconvenient, please wait a bit."

He had just woken up, his voice still husky and drowsy.

Then, Mei seemed startled and immediately hung up, as if afraid of hearing something she shouldn’t.

Yu Xia speechlessly took her phone away, elbowed him lightly.

"Did I say you could speak?"

Xie Qingci didn’t reply, took her hand, pulled them even closer, his somewhat muffled voice whispering in her ear.

"Morning, stay with me a bit longer."

"Haven’t you slept enough? You even told my assistant to wait, do you still feel right sleeping more?" Though she said this, she didn’t move, letting him hold her tight.

Being so close, she could clearly feel the muscles on his chest and arms, and the tickling sensation from his short hair brushing her cheek.

His hair was a bit messy, prickling against her face and neck made her uncomfortable, she instinctively stretched her neck forward to avoid his head.

But Xie Qingci thought she was trying to escape, reached out and pulled her back, turning her slightly, placing her face towards his chin and collarbone.

"Don’t move, just a bit longer, stay a bit more."

She placed her hands on his arm, barely maintaining a space between them, her gaze drifting.

It’s really... Too much to handle facing such a physique early in the morning.

But perhaps there was a pull from him, her eyes wandered back to him, sneakily looking at his chest and then back at his arm.

"When did you get this muscle to look like this?"

Xie Qingci hummed, the tone lifting in curiosity, then lazily asked, "Like what?"

"...Chest muscles."

"Oh, I’ve always been training. Why, do you like it?"

Come on, who wouldn’t like it, this muscle, this curve, this texture, she could barely resist her eager little hands wanting to reach out and touch.

Her expression was quite obvious, Xie Qingci chuckled, a vibration through his chest, the muscles even more pronounced, almost dazzling her.

"If you like it, go ahead and touch, it’s yours."

"..." Yu Xia immediately grabbed the blanket and covered him, righteously saying, "Though it’s summer, one should still be careful not to catch a cold."

His laughter became even more delighted.

They lay there a while more, she moved to sit up, pushing at him: "Time to get up, first day after debut, no work?"

"Day off today." He squinted at the window, bright light filling the room.

He hadn’t had a chance to look at her room last night, now from the window, he surveyed it carefully, finally returning his gaze to her, Xie Qingci swallowed slightly.

She sat up, her long hair mostly sliding to the right side, exposing her fair neck and back, the daylight wrapping her, skin like white jade, her lowered head facing away from him like a vividly saturated realistic oil painting.

He reached out, his long fingers touched the center of her back, making her shiver.

Yu Xia hastened to dress, then turned to lightly kiss him.

"Get up."

He suddenly showed a content smile, serene and pleasant.

"Okay."

Breakfast was made by Xie Qingci, as Yu Xia was doing her skincare, he was in the kitchen cooking dumplings, wearing gray long sweatpants, the white drawstring untied, and shirtless above.

Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, she suddenly felt like she had spent money to bring home a very accommodating duckling, not only catering to her habits but also considering her appetite, it would feel remiss not to tip him.

Thinking of this, she laughed by herself.

Once ready, Xie Qingci had already cooked the dumplings, the two met at the dining table, he holding the plate, leaning over to kiss her.

"I saw only these in the fridge, bear with it."

She nodded, called Mei to ask if she’d eaten breakfast, saying she could join if she hadn’t.

But Mei declined strongly, insisting not to disturb their sweet breakfast for two, even though it was just a plate of frozen dumplings.

Putting down the phone, she pouted at Xie Qingci, "You’ve really shaken my assistant."

Xie Qingci remained undistracted, poured a glass of water and handed it to her, after she drank, he supported the chair with one hand and pinched her chin with the other to kiss her.

They kissed until the dumplings almost cooled, before he let her go, contently saying, "So sweet."

Yu Xia still a bit dazed, hearing this, showed a spoiled yet helpless expression, then smacked him lightly, "Eat properly, don’t waste my time."

By the time she was about to leave, it was already almost eleven.

She grabbed her bag to go, Xie Qingci sent her to the door, acting like a kiss maniac, pressing her against the door for a while before letting her go.

"Remember to answer my calls on set, stay safe."

"Happy first day of love, sis."

Yu Xia maintained a dizzy feeling as she headed to the car, still not quite together while sitting inside.

Mei, seeing her dazed expression in the rear-view mirror, had an indescribably complex expression.

"Sis, you... you, take care of your body."

"?"

She came to her senses, casually responding, "I’m pretty healthy, don’t worry."

Mei turned to look at her, "That’s good, because filming needs stamina too... No, I mean as long as it doesn’t interfere with filming. You focus on that..."

Before she could finish, Yu Xia surprisedly asked, "Oh my, why are your dark circles so bad?"
