Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 307: Seeking Shelter While Fleeing Disaster

Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Seeking Shelter While Fleeing Disaster

Yu Xia was too tired to speak and only replied perfunctorily with "uh-huh" and "oh-oh".

Xie Qingci glanced at her, leading her into the nearby woods.

Yu Xia’s eyes widened: "What are you doing?"

He bent down to look for suitable branches, speaking without turning his head: "Aren’t you too tired to walk? I’ll make a simple cart from the branches and drag you along."

"... Oh, like that."

He chopped a lot of thicker branches, tied them into a framework with vines, and then covered them with overlapping branches and leaves from a yellow cypress tree.

Squatting beside him, Yu Xia watched expectantly as the single-luxury cart took shape, praising him as if words were free.

"You’re amazing to be able to do this."

"Good-looking, good-tempered, and handy. Modern younger guys are truly impressive."

"Xie Qingci, is there anything you can’t do? Give us clumsy folks some space."

"You’re so good, I’m so moved, sob sob sob."

Xie Qingci listened coolly to her compliments, not slowing his work.

When the cart was ready, Yu Xia leaned on it, and Xie Qingci pulled the front end, walking two steps before turning to ask her: "How does it feel? Without other materials, it might be a bit rough."

"I’m already very satisfied. Now I only feel the sky is blue, the water green, and even the air sweet," she said contentedly.

Xie Qingci smiled slightly, turned back, and continued pulling her along, like dragging a sleeping cat with a piece of fabric.

Just then, the drone announced the truce time, and Yu Xia felt even more comfortable, excitedly yelling, "Xie Qingci, did you hear that? It’s 18:00! It shouldn’t have been half an hour yet, so the pursuers can’t locate us temporarily!"

"I heard. Just lie down at ease. We’ll have a meal when we reach that scenic spot, then try to see if we can buy a watch; inaccurate time can easily lead to accidents."

"Okay, okay, buy one!"

There was such a sense of joyful satisfaction, like approaching a well-off life. After being on the run in the wild for so long, encountering a place with modern civilization felt like reaching heaven.

They happily climbed over a mountain, and a cement road appeared before them.

On the other side of the winding road was a blooming garden.

The flowers spread over two hilltops, forming a pink brocade cloud. The tips of the flowers were white and pink, with red gradually deepening downward. The large petals looked especially beautiful.

"Is that the scenic area? A place for flower viewing?" She climbed up from the back, stood on tiptoe to look, "There are usually tourists in such places, and where there are tourists, there is food and lodging."

She was a bit excited, her eyes continuously scanning the two mountains while speaking.

"I see it, see it, there! Is that a house?" She tugged at Xie Qingci’s clothes.

"Yes, I see it too."

Xie Qingci hid the cart in the grass nearby: "It’s probably not feasible to drag this around down there. Can you walk?"

"I can, I can, I can run eight hundred meters now!"

The two quickened their pace, following the cement road into the flower woods. Ahead, a stone path led to an outer restaurant, with a few people on the road.

At this time, there were not many tourists admiring the flowers; those who could leave had gone home, and those not yet gone were settling meals outside.

There were no hotels here, and the scenery and location weren’t particularly good, so actually, there were very few people.

They walked while asking, reaching halfway up the mountain.

The flowers here bloomed especially brilliantly, with many vibrant flowers along a pebbled path, showcasing a variety of rare and beautiful blooms, accompanied by the slanting orange-red afterglow, looking like a fairyland.

And within the fairyland, there was a wooden house.

Yu Xia stood on the pebbled path, took a deep breath, muttering "so beautiful" first, then immediately took out her money to count.

"I don’t know how much it costs to stay at this homestay. If it’s not enough, should I stay here washing dishes?"

Xie Qingci wiped the sweat from his forehead, also taking a deep breath.

"This looks newly built, but it’s remote, so it probably won’t be very expensive."

She switched hands to carry the plastic bag. She wasn’t sure if the raw dumplings inside were still edible.

"Let’s go, ask around."

Like two poor relatives about to step into someone’s grand home, standing at the bottom of the steps of the homestay, their peering movements seemed cautious.

There was the sound of voices inside, sounding like several people, but no one came out.

Xie Qingci called out loudly: "Hello, is anyone there?"

There was a second of silence inside, then someone walked out with a kicking sound, a light green skirt sweeping over the doorstep. Yu Xia thought, so the owner here is a young woman.

Then she looked up and met a familiar face.

Shu Ran looked at the two of them in surprise, squinting: "Oh, you’ve escaped all the way here?"

Yu Xia hadn’t even had time for cardiac arrest when a tall man came out behind her, holding a cute little girl in his arms, the girl’s face buried in his chest, not showing. At first glance, the three looked very much like a family of three.

... Could it be they had inadvertently discovered the truth about Shu Ran being married with kids?!

She glanced over the man’s face, just matching it with the information in her brain, when she heard his emotionless voice say: "Isn’t the scenic area supposed to keep beggars out?"

Yu Xia: "..."

Xie Qingci: "..."

Crash, the hearts of urban dwellers shattered into two pieces. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Even Shu Ran opened her mouth, then looked at him speechlessly: "You better shut up. Go call Cheng out."

Yu Xia clutched her near-cardiac-arresting chest, speaking to Shu Ran: "We’ve really been on the run... No, survived to here. The show is still live, but it’s a truce so we can shut it off. Sister Shu Ran, can we get a chance to stay here? I can pay rent!"

Shu Ran hugged her arms, looking them up and down with some disdain: "You’ve ended up like this and still have money for rent?"

"It’s hard-earned money, sweat money," she trembled, taking out a handful of change, counted, and awkwardly said, "Although it’s a bit shameless, I still want to try, is fifty enough?"

She was just putting on a show; if they were really allowed to stay in, it probably wouldn’t need any money. If not, it wouldn’t be needed either.

After all, at first glance, it seemed like Shu Ran and her friends lived here, and everyone inside was a big star, and they were still live, barging in would practically be freeloading on their popularity.

Shu Ran neither refused nor nodded: "Let’s see if Cheng agrees; we’re about to start a live broadcast too. But your appearance really... Was your show about sleeping in caves and eating raw meat?"

Carrying a plastic bag like someone scavenging trash.

Yu Xia was just about to make a retort when another person walked out from behind her.

His gaze was charming, restrained, gentle, and his voice soothingly magnetic.

"What’s going on?"

The bullet comments went crazy.

[Ahhhhh! My Variety Show Six Group!]

[Cheng Yiding! How coincidental that they ran into each other!]

[They are planning a live show to boost local tourism and help local poverty alleviation. Wuwuwu, I thought there wouldn’t be a live show.]

[Hahaha, I always get laughed to death by Shi Yuhuai hahaha]

[Family, it’s a dreamlike crossover! Makes me want to cry!]

[The two refugees below just look more and more pitiful hahaha]

[Please, let them stay; I want to see all the hot guys standing together!]
