Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 309: If You Want to Win a Woman’s Heart, Start by Winning Her Stomach

Chapter 309: Chapter 309: If You Want to Win a Woman’s Heart, Start by Winning Her Stomach

This way of standing around with hands behind the back, Xie Qingci had only ever seen it on his dad.

He found it amusing, and after washing the vegetables, he cut the zucchini in half, saying, "No need, you go ahead."

Yu Xia, pretending she wanted to help but couldn’t, left at ease, and before going, she softly reminded him:

"Just one dish or two will do, don’t use too much of their stuff."

We’re broke.

The last bit of heart-wrenching sentiment was left unsaid, but Xie Qingci would probably get the gist.

Xie Qingci nodded.

Not long after she left, someone came downstairs from the second floor, slowly walked to the kitchen, and before approaching, that distinctive voice chimed in.

"Sorry, did you use the tomatoes on the windowsill? I forgot to tell you, they’re my daughter’s snacks."

Xie Qingci put down the knife and turned to call out, "Cheng, no, they’re still here."

His demeanor wasn’t fawning or stiff, a bit different from the obedient look he had following Yu Xia earlier.

Cheng Zhi nodded briefly, took a tomato from the windowsill, and turned on the tap to wash it.

To avoid any awkwardness between two strangers in this short time, the man proactively inquired:

"I heard you’re Changhui’s newly signed artist, and still a college student?"

"Yes."

Xie Qingci picked up the knife to continue cutting vegetables, his voice mild, mingling with the sound of water rinsing the tomato, not too noisy.

The man asked again, "Just like Lin Lian. What made you want to enter the entertainment industry?"

Of course, it was all for Yu Xia, but he couldn’t possibly say that now.

"I saw someone else’s giant billboard on the street, got a little interested, and thought I’d try it out."

Creak, the tap was turned off, and the man carefully wiped the water droplets off the tomato with kitchen paper, closing the topic: "Now that you’re in, how does it feel?"

Xie Qingci genuinely smiled this time: "Pretty good."

"That’s good," Cheng Zhi prepared to leave, glanced at the zucchini on the cutting board, and said one last thing to him, "Zucchini tastes better if you salt it to draw out the water."

Xie Qingci was taken aback: "Okay."

Ever since they entered this guesthouse, the barrage of comments had been relentlessly streaming by.

[Wuwuwuwu two handsome guys, both mine! My first and second husbands!]

[To not be overshadowed by Cheng Yiding, this male star’s looks are guaranteed!]

[Two grown men busy in the kitchen, isn’t this the scene of my dreams? Should I have Xie Qingci’s zucchini or Cheng’s tomato later?]

[Damn it, I have to stay at this guesthouse, tell me, how much per night, I’m booking a month!]

[Cheng Yiding teaching Xie Qingci to cook hahahaha is something I truly didn’t expect hahahaha]

[The show crew must be making a fortune, this episode is purely viewership skyrocketing]

[I was going to switch back to see if Ling Luo is crying again, but now! Why switch! I’ll die here in this livestream!]

[Bro! Aim to reach this man’s level! You’ll shine bright one day too!]

[Aaaahhh! My ultimate bias and my fleeting crush! In the same frame! / I wish my ex would gain thirty pounds praying this scene lasts ten more seconds.jpg]

[Cheng: A good man should learn to cook more, to tie down a woman’s heart, you must first tie down her stomach. Xie Qingci: Got it]

[Why can’t I have these two men in real life, I’d settle for just one!]

[Please, don’t turn off the camera yet, I just want to catch a few more glimpses]

By the time Yu Xia finished her washing up and came out refreshed, Xie Qingci had just brought the noodles and dishes to the table.

"Cooking rice took too long, I was afraid it wouldn’t be in time, so I made noodles instead."

Yu Xia sat at the table, excitedly eyeing her portion, not bothering to dry her hair, immediately picking up some food and putting it in her mouth.

The dish was still a bit hot, she puffed out her cheeks and gave Xie Qingci a thumbs up.

Xie Qingci looked down and laughed: "Take it slow."

Yu Xia swallowed the food, looking at the lights that turned on in the living room and at Xie Qingci leisurely walking over with a bowl in the light, she genuinely felt a sense of sweet warmth.

No wonder they say ’living a life where someone asks if your porridge is warm brings immense happiness’; today, she truly felt that.

Grateful, she took a couple more bites, then looked up at the silent drone, asking: "Is it thirty minutes yet, we did promise to turn it off on time, don’t want to disturb them."

"Then let’s turn it off, I see no one’s coming downstairs." Xie Qingci took down the drone, pulled it closer, and said to the camera, "Sorry everyone, to avoid disturbing Shu Ran and the others, today’s show will end here, thank you all for understanding, see you tomorrow morning."

Yu Xia added, "Those who want to watch their live broadcast can go and keep an eye on it."

The drone was turned off and placed next to Xie Qingci.

Without the camera in the way, he sat directly next to Yu Xia and flicked the end of her hair.

"It’s still wet, why didn’t you dry it?"

She shook her head, eating a couple more bites before saying, "It’s fine, it’ll dry naturally, taking too much time isn’t good either."

"Let me help..."

"Xie Qingci, have you finished your livestream?" Shu Ran asked, standing at the top of the stairs.

Xie Qingci had to swallow what he was about to say and replied, "Yes, it’s over, the camera’s turned off."

Shu Ran came downstairs, picked up a plush toy from the wooden sofa in the middle, and retraced her steps.

When she reached the steps, she suddenly turned back to look at them, saying meaningfully, "You guys are free to relax, don’t worry we won’t tell anyone what we saw."

Yu Xia: "..."

Xie Qingci still nodded openly, "Thank you, Shu Ran."

She reached over to pinch his leg, couldn’t, and he caught her hand instead.

"Do you want me to feed you?" he asked knowingly.

"..." She glared at this cheeky younger guy.

Xie Qingci, holding her wrist, said, "There’s nothing to hide, Shu Ran saw it means others would know too."

So does that mean you can be so blatant? Yu Xia smacked his hand away, picked up a piece of zucchini with chopsticks, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Even if they know, you can’t do whatever you want, eat your food!"

Xie Qingci obediently ate it, then picked up some food to feed her.

"Reciprocation. They’re not here."

Yu Xia: ... This guy really has an inexplicable fondness for the feeding game.

She resisted blushing, quickly bit off the food from his chopsticks, and glanced at the stairs.

Initially to see if anyone would come down and catch them, unexpectedly spotted a child at first glance.

Wearing a pretty little cherry dress, clutching the banister, climbing slowly down, with a bag whose contents were unknown, climbing and thumping on each step.

The child wasn’t climbing down alone, following behind was the incredibly tall man they first met.

Yu Xia continued slurping noodles while watching the little girl climb down. Seeing her exhale like an adult and then pulling a tomato out of her pocket.

She bit into it with her baby teeth, red juice trickling down. Those big black grape eyes darted around, then she slowly walked towards the dining table.

"Noodle~"
