Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 261: Come Here, Let Sister Hold You

When Wei Yaoyao arrived at the designated meeting spot with his unruly curly hair, he saw Yu Xia and Xie Qingci enjoying their breakfast.

He jogged over, directly sitting down on the remaining chair at their table.

"Come on, give me the same order. It’s pure luck I caught you. I was so worried about your task last night that I lost sleep. I was a bit slow getting up this morning and haven’t had the chance to eat breakfast yet. Thanks for the treat."

"Do you have the nerve to spend money from us poor folks? These steamed buns were bought with Xie Qingci’s pocket money, and after buying them, he’s got no money left," Yu Xia said, taking another bite of her bun.

Wei Yaoyao was stunned for a second, turning to Xie Qingci: "You’re so poor it’s like you’re refugees, and yet you have pocket money? Didn’t you spend four and a half out of the five bucks you were given on the first day?"

He had only watched the first episode.

"Having pocket money isn’t about how much you have, but about whether or not you can get some from the person managing the finances," Xie Qingci said calmly.

Wei Yaoyao then looked at Yu Xia with a thirst for knowledge.

Yu Xia had something to say about that.

"Adult males should have some money on them. Although our financial situation isn’t great, we still need to focus on education, such as finance and investments. No matter how poor, we can’t skimp on education!"

Wei Yaoyao: "...I’ve learned something new; I’ll just buy my own then. You guys continue with your financial management."

At this point, the first wave of comments flooded into the live stream.

[Xie Qingci is just like a perfect homemaker, even tearing a bun with such care and attention]

[Honestly, when Yu Xia handed him money and he took it with his head down, it really felt like a dutiful househusband]

[So I don’t understand why so many people are shipping them together, Yu Xia doesn’t seem like the type to fall for a homebody type of guy, right?]

[Maybe Yu Xia, after playing around, actually likes this gentle vibe? / Damn, I feel oddly hit in my soft spot .jpg]

[Hahaha, the Queen of Meandering Fields x the Gentle Housebound Younger Bro, right? Hahaha]

[The two of them sitting there really is a picturesque scene, quite lovely]

[As soon as Wei Yaoyao arrived, he spoiled the mood hahaha, and his curly hair kept bobbing up and down]

[Yu Xia is so beautiful, when can I have that kind of figure and looks, just sitting at a random street food stall looks like it’s from a movie]

[Yuan Wang, come quickly! Someone’s talking bad about you here!]

[Qingci Bro: As long as half of my pocket money goes to my sister, it never stops coming / leaning on a rolling shutter door smoking a cigar.jpg]

The three of them finished their breakfast and got started.

Yu Xia shared her idea about borrowing a dog and then dragged the other two along to interview grandpas and grandmas out walking their dogs.

Borrowing a dog wasn’t supposed to be too hard; owners might live with some petting or hugging. But their task was to ride a kilometer with a dog while out of the owner’s sight.

So when several grandpas and grandmas heard their request, they became wary, pulling their dogs back with wide eyes, suspecting these were people from a shady factory wanting to steal the dogs for meat.

One grandfather even scolded them quite vehemently.

"You three look decent, yet you want to do this?! Everyone says dogs are our friends, partners! How can you be so heartless as to steal dogs for meat? Beware, wherever you go, dogs will bite you!"

The three were speechless: "..."

Yu Xia felt utterly embarrassed and tried hard to explain, "No, we’re really filming a show. The show requires us to ride a bike with a dog..."

"A kilometer, right? If you ride a kilometer away, how can I catch up with you? You’re targeting us elderly folks with mobility issues!"

"...Alright, let’s find someone else to trick—I mean, a dog to borrow."

After searching for a long time and practically asking everyone on the street, they finally found a dog owner with more mobility.

It was a young lady walking her dog in her pajamas, holding the leash of an Alaskan Malamute, but it was more like the dog was walking her.

The dog was tall and mighty, probably as high as their thighs.

When Wei Yaoyao stopped them, Yu Xia was almost flying with excitement.

"Borrowing such a big dog must be overloading, right?!"

Wei Yaoyao: "But we’ve been looking for so long, maybe this is our best shot. Let’s try it, Sister Yu Xia. At worst, let Xie Qingci carry the dog."

Before Xie Qingci could refuse, Yu Xia quickly decided: "I’ll ride the bike with you guys; little bro, you’ll carry the dog!"

"...Is it really that scary?"

"It’s too big; if I hold it on the back seat, I might as well let it carry me on a walk!" Yu Xia said, hiding behind the other two.

Without another option, Xie Qingci reluctantly agreed.

The young lady was quite different from the grandpas and grandmas. She wasn’t confused but excited to see them.

"Xie Qingci! Is it really you, Xie Qingci?"

Xie Qingci was pushed to engage, nodding: "Yes, it’s me. We’re filming a show and need to borrow a dog. So if you..."

"Sure, sure, borrow it from me... Oh no, I haven’t even changed!"

Xie Qingci: "...It doesn’t matter. The task is like this: we’ll borrow a bike later, and I’ll hold the dog on the back seat, riding a kilometer. If the dog doesn’t jump off during that time, it’s a success. How’s your dog’s temperament?"

The young lady’s face was flushed with excitement as she fiddled with her hair, "It’s very calm! Just like me!"

Yu Xia: ... If it’s just like you, calm probably isn’t the right word to describe you, beauty.

Wei Yaoyao added helpfully: "We’re riding a kilometer, though. Will it stay calm being out of your sight? And aren’t you worried we’ll run off with your dog?"

"It’s okay; I can ride a bike with you all!"

... Damn, why didn’t we think of that?

The young lady was kind-hearted and enthusiastically led them to the nearest bike rental, even offering to pay for the rental.

Luckily, Wei Yaoyao, the sponsor, stopped her, but due to the sudden turn of events, he swiftly paid up without even a word of feeling the pinch, much faster than he could say last night.

In the end, they joyfully acquired two second-hand rented bikes.

Yu Xia promptly took control of one bike’s handlebar, determined to ride it herself.

The young lady followed suit and, holding the handlebars, shyly said to Wei Yaoyao, "Shall I give you a ride too?"

"...No way, beautiful lady!" Wei Yaoyao exclaimed, rushing to grab the other side of the handlebar, "Of course, I’ll give you a ride! How could I let a lady do the work?"

Xie Qingci turned to look at Yu Xia upon hearing that.

She rang the bike bell, glaring, "I don’t want to carry the dog."

"But with the dog’s weight and mine, you probably won’t be able to ride," he said. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Yu Xia was not to be swayed; she had him sit on the back with the dog and tried standing up on the pedals.

Couldn’t move.

"..." She let go of the handlebars, quietly moving to the back, "Alright, doggo, let big sis carry you."
