Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 256: Sponsors of Eating, Drinking, Pooping, and Sleeping

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Sponsors of Eating, Drinking, Pooping, and Sleeping

Yu Xia walked to the side of the crowd and leaned over to look at the dancing grannies in the first row.

Looking from left to right, the one on the far right in jeans was none other than Wei Yaoyao.

That signature curly hair was covered by a black wool hat, no wonder she didn’t recognize him.

"How did you recognize him? I rely on his curly hair to recognize him."

Xie Qingci walked forward, speaking as he walked, "I rely on his uniquely enchanting dance moves."

"...Your group might be a bit unserious, huh?"

By this time, Xie Qingci had already walked behind Wei Yaoyao and tapped him on the shoulder.

Wei Yaoyao turned around.

Compared to his round face during the audition period, he was much thinner now, even his chin was sharper.

The comment barrage inserted some comments from his fans.

[Ahhh Wei Yaoyao is out!]

[Yaoyao! Run quickly! They’re not good people!]

[Bro, they’re here to mess with you, and you’re still here dancing in the square]

[I can’t take it, just seeing him makes me laugh hahahaha]

Wei Yaoyao’s eyes lit up when he saw the two of them. He spoke in Wang Laosan’s voice.

"Oh my! You guys are here! I’m here exercising, want to join? This song is about to end!"

Yu Xia was speechless, "Stop dancing, aren’t you here to pick us up?"

"I am here to pick you up," he shouted over the music, "I didn’t see you at the door, so I thought I’d wait somewhere more noticeable. Then I saw the ladies starting to dance, so I joined in for a bit."

The ladies...

"Your thick skin hasn’t gotten any thinner after half a year, not even an inch. Come out and talk, you’re disturbing the big sisters’ dance."

They moved from the first to the last row, and Wei Yaoyao, still twisting his body, seemed like a wound-up toy that couldn’t stop, even trying to coax the two of them to jump along.

"Just dancing, it’s great exercise, aids digestion, and can perfectly disguise us. Isn’t there a chaser in the show who’s supposed to catch people? You blend in, and when they arrive, they won’t find you here."

Just then, the music changed to the familiar "Bunny Dance," making Wei Yaoyao even more excited as he pulled them into a conga line formation.

The grannies on the square formed a long train, with the three of them awkwardly attached as the "rear caboose" of this foreign "train."

"Left left right right, go turn around go go go"

This rhythm was ingrained in their DNA from elementary school, so Yu Xia, with one hand on Xie Qingci’s shoulder, instinctively hopped along to the music, lifting her right foot and then her left.

Unknowingly, she became part of the square dance army.

While dancing, she shouted at Wei Yaoyao, "Is this your daily entertainment? Next time on stage, are you going to dance this?"

Wei Yaoyao shouted back, "It’s a great way to relieve stress! Plus, I tell you, there are so many benefits to square dancing, you can even lose weight!"

Wedged between them, Xie Qingci was bombarded by their loud voices and couldn’t help but lean away.

The "train" started moving, and the three of them danced their way to the front of the square. Wei Yaoyao, turning the corner, saw Xie Qingci just walking along and shouted for him to lift his feet:

"Xie Qingci, you gotta jump! This is the Bunny Dance, not the Zombie Dance! Your idol image is too heavy, sometimes you gotta learn to let go of that handsome face!"

Xie Qingci: "..."

Yu Xia laughed out loud. "Xie Qingci! Jump! The train’s about to derail at your spot!"

She rarely laughed this hard. Xie Qingci looked resigned as he listened, shook his head with a smile, and took the puff bucket from her, saying:

"You go ahead and jump."

The atmosphere was fantastic, so Yu Xia continued to dance for about ten minutes until the drone announced via speaker, "Ceasefire time’s up."

By this time, she was soaked in sweat, and Wei Yaoyao and she were dragged out by Xie Qingci.

"Alright, take a break." He twisted open the cap of a water bottle and handed it to her.

Breathing heavily, Wei Yaoyao patted his hand, "Bro, I’m a bit thirsty too."

"There’s another bottle I’ve already drunk from."

Wei Yaoyao: "I don’t mind."

Xie Qingci resisted the urge to say "I do mind," and handed him the other bottle.

Then, Wei Yaoyao lifted the bottle high, not touching the rim, and downed two gulps of water.

"Oops, sorry, accidentally drank it all."

Xie Qingci took it back and threw the empty bottle in the trash. "Buy me a new one."

"..." He widened his eyes, "Are you kidding me?! I only took two sips, and you want me to buy a whole bottle? This level of penny-pinching is extreme!"

"Are you buying or not? If not, spit out those two sips."

Wei Yaoyao was speechless for two seconds: "Fine! Fine, I’ll buy it, okay? Xie Qingci, you truly take frugality to a new level."

Just as he finished speaking, two plastic bags were handed over.

Yu Xia grinned and said, "You must understand, we’re just scared of being poor. If we spend money here, we may not have enough to eat or sleep well. Here, we feel sorry for disturbing you like this, please accept this small gift."

Wei Yaoyao hooked it with his little finger and lifted it up to take a look.

"Yu Xia, do you think I don’t watch the program? Even if you’re re-gifting, use something fresh. There’s still two pieces of peel from sugar oranges in the apple bag!"

"Huh?" Yu Xia immediately opened the bag to check, "It really is. Sorry about that, let me give you something else instead."

She handed him the puff bucket that Xie Qingci was holding, "Here, don’t be shy, Xie Qingci said you quite like eating this."

Xie Qingci opened his mouth but said nothing.

Wei Yaoyao accepted it and peered into the nearly empty puff bucket with a puzzled expression, "Why is there so little?"

"Oh, well firstly, we’re poor. Secondly, the salesgirl knew we were buying to give to you, so she deliberately gave a little less, saying considering you idols have to maintain your figure and shouldn’t eat too many sweets." She said this with such ease, not a stutter.

Wei Yaoyao: ...Does he think I can’t tell? This is not less by natural means! It’s less because it’s been eaten by someone!

Nonetheless, he pinched one and popped it into his mouth, only to be overwhelmed by the cream.

"Xie Qingci, when did you become so blind to think I like eating this?"

Xie Qingci rubbed his brow and casually said, "Maybe I misremembered."

"You’re really a good brother of mine. So, tell me, what do you want? I’ve watched the show, don’t even think about cash support, a meal, maybe."

"We were just waiting for you to say that!" Yu Xia stood up, "I already spotted one on the way here, there’s a chain hot pot place right outside, let’s go there!"

Wei Yaoyao: "...Alright."

She continued, "After eating, it’ll probably be around eight. We’ve been running around all day, it’s exhausting, do you have three beds at your place?"

"Stay at my place? You’re eating my food and want to stay at my place too? I’m a single guy, just one bed!"

Yu Xia sighed while looking at him, "Looks like you’ll have to put us in a five-star hotel. We wouldn’t want to refuse. Fine, hotel it is then."

Wei Yaoyao: "???"
