Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 236: The Younger They Are, the Bolder They Get

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: The Younger They Are, the Bolder They Get

Xie Qingci acted obedient and compliant, seemingly as if it was really to save money that he suggested four people sleep in one room.

Carefully asking her if she minded, saying they wouldn’t do it if she did.

Are you kidding? Could she say she minded at the time? She could only nod and agree to this "cost-saving plan" with a smile as she looked at his expression.

Then they returned to the motel in town with neon lights, booking a double room extravagantly under the sighing attitude of the landlady.

Just as they settled down, the drone updated the time punctually.

"18:00 arrived! Both sides stop the escape game and enter truce time!"

They hadn’t experienced being pursued, so they weren’t too concerned about the truce.

Yu Xia just said wearily, "At least we don’t have to be so anxious during dinner later."

Xie Qingci said nothing.

The double beds in the small motel were close, so close that while sitting on the bed next to hers, he could glimpse her shirt sliding up as she tied her hair.

This could count as their room-sharing...

Xie Qingci restrained a deep breath and broke the silence: "Are we having dumplings later? Should we prepare some for them?"

"Sure, as long as they pay, no free meals. For utensils, we bought quite a lot of disposable chopsticks, and there are some paper cups they can use."

Yu Xia picked up the basin, compared it, it was larger than her face.

She counted the dumplings one by one, tossing them into the basin, and asked him casually: "How are we meeting them? Won’t it take a while for them to come over?"

"No need, I already told them the picnic spot, we can ride over."

He seemed to have planned it already, casually mentioning the sleeping space arrangement.

"Staying together saves money, and it’s safer for you, and by then both girls sleeping on the bed while Luo Sheng and I figure out the floor situation since I checked the door lock, it’s easy to open, no chain lock either."

Yu Xia had never stayed alone in a hotel, especially not a small motel, hearing about the door lock being easy to open, she frowned and went to check the lock.

"This door probably isn’t soundproof, not thick. Moreover, there’s quite a gap underneath, someone might push in a small flyer."

Xie Qingci thought she was like a young lady taken to a small town, apprehensively adapting to the rough life.

Gave him an illusion of a high-born lady fallen into dust, waiting for rescue and care.

He said in a low voice: "I heard in some motels and hotels, there can be pinhole cameras in the rooms, it’s been on the news before."

Yu Xia widened her eyes, subconsciously looking around: "Then, could there be one in this room? How do we check?"

"Don’t worry, turn off the lights to create darkness, we can do a preliminary check."

She enthusiastically stood up to close the window and draw the curtains.

"Quickly, quickly, let’s check first. The girls who watch the show might want to know about this, if it really works, everyone can be safer. Girls staying alone in hotels should have extra protection."

She still cared enough to talk about the female fans, once the curtains were drawn, Xie Qingci lightly flicked the light switch and the room fell into darkness.

Xie Qingci grabbed the drone, aimed the lens at the room, then pulled Yu Xia in front of him.

"We don’t have phones, the audience can use phones to scan for infrared, look for any strange light spots. Generally, places prone to have pinhole cameras include the TV, aimed directly at the bed, and on the table, air conditioner..."

Yu Xia’s back neck was lightly bitten.

She was enthusiastic earlier but now didn’t dare make a sound, covering her mouth in shock, turning back to look at Xie Qingci.

Damn, the younger he is the bolder he gets, daring to mess around at such moments!

Xie Qingci kept looking ahead, talking about guesses, and suddenly made conversation.

"Sis, look over there on the air conditioner, isn’t that shadow strange? Kind of like... a spider."

"Ah!"

She exclaimed, not because of seeing any spider, but her hand was suddenly pulled to his lips for a kiss, fingers gently bit, sending shivers.

Only a minute later, the lights were back on.

Yu Xia squatted by the door, reluctant to move, while Xie Qingci alone stood under the air conditioner checking if the shadow was truly a spider.

"Luckily, not a spider, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to sleep here. Sis, we can meet them now." He turned his head, speaking obediently.

Yu Xia took two deep breaths, stood up holding the wall: "Okay."

I’d throw you into the fields on the road!

This time it was Xie Qingci sitting in front on the electric scooter, while Yu Xia sat at the back letting the wind blow past. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She seemingly gently placed her hand on his waist but pinched him hard.

The pain made Xie Qingci almost lose control of the scooter, swerving unpredictably, nearly making them fall.

Yu Xia teasingly chuckled from the back: "Little brother, your skills aren’t great, maybe I should take over, look how shaky this is."

Xie Qingci closed his eyes to hold back the laugh threatening to spill, gritting his teeth saying: "No need, it was just a momentary loss of control, I can manage."

Yu Xia snorted internally.

She wasn’t pinching him anymore, mainly for her own safety.

Plus, she was thinking, Xie Qingci definitely wouldn’t let it go, he must be planning something even more outrageous, she needed a countermeasure.

What worse schemes could he have? Once they met the other couple, it would be four of them, with others around, what could he possibly do?

Surely he wouldn’t be crazy enough to climb into her bed in front of the couple, right?

She thought over and over, concluding that unless Xie Qingci had gone mad, he couldn’t possibly do such a thing.

After considering and finding nothing more outrageous, Xie Qingci suddenly slowed down.

"We’re here, that spot over there."

Yu Xia stretched her neck, craning her head from behind.

Up ahead was a cement area, not very wide, surrounded by invaded soil and weeds, likely a place for parking during passing situations.

Two people were standing, one squatting there.

The little sister next door, Ling Luo, with her once glowing appearance, now had her hair loose and clothes a bit dirty, red-eyed while complaining to her boyfriend Luo Sheng.

Seeing them coming from afar, showing an envious expression.

Luo Sheng was especially surprised: "Where did you get an electric scooter?"

Yu Xia dismounted carrying her things, like a new bride returning home in the ’80s, facing villagers’ curious inquiries with a nonchalant attitude.

"Oh, this? We got it sponsored."

Ling Luo gaped: "Who? You can get people to lend money or cars? Who did you ask?"

Xie Qingci parked, she roamed over, flicking her hair saying: "My universally incredible CEO brother."

Ling Luo: "?"
