Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 332: Did Sparks Fly?

Xie Qingci wants to eat people.

But in the end, he just got a meat bun.

Yu Xia found a place that sells real cakes and forced the owner to sell them the only two decorative cakes, one meat bun and one brown sugar pancake.

Considering Xie Qingci doesn’t like sweet things, she handed the meat bun to him and reminded him:

"Let’s find a place to eat slowly, chew carefully and savor it. This might be your last meat meal, after all, business ventures involve risks, we might end up so broke we can’t even afford pants."

After saying that, she took a bite of the brown sugar pancake, showing a satisfied expression.

His previously absent-minded expression instantly turned to one of mixed emotions.

"Let’s eat together, half for each of us, I’ll eat half of your pancake." He planned to split the meat bun with her, but she rejected.

Yu Xia took another bite of the pancake, pressed her hand against his hand, and said leisurely, "I remember you don’t seem to like eating sweet things, so forget it."

Xie Qingci froze for a moment, looked down at her hand.

Her hand on his was a bit cool, and he pondered that sometimes when she was exhausted, she would use this gesture to steady his hand, like a limp cat paw trying to block the fanged beast in front of her.

He swallowed hard.

Yu Xia clearly saw his Adam’s apple move, and she also looked at their hands together, then quickly pulled her hand away as if she were electrocuted.

After these disoriented days, she became a bit wary of such touching.

They might be able to guess each other’s thoughts, but the people on the bullet screen don’t know.

[Why stand there stunned! Hold hands! Spin in a circle holding hands!]

[How does Yu Xia know Xie Qingci doesn’t like sweet things? I’m a fan and I didn’t know!]

[This brother is so pure, getting shy just from touching hands]

[Yu Xia’s reaction! That reaction! Does it mean she’s a bit smitten?!]

[The sister is also paying attention to her brother, she knows he doesn’t like sweet things, surely his heart is bursting with fireworks]

[No wonder she has a bossy brother, Yu Xia’s business venture is quite daring, I’ve never seen anyone take a loan for a business on a variety show hahaha]

[Although it feels reassuring, there’s certainly a bit of awkwardness in teaming up halfway between Song Xi and Lan Hui, being so unfamiliar]

[Ah, this pure tension is making me want to roll around and scream!]

[Is there electricity, is there?! The weak current from skin contact directly hitting the heart, making it race for a moment?!]

[It’s more like a moment of cardiac arrest, right]

The atmosphere is a bit strange.

Yu Xia coughed, continued eating the cake while walking forward. Xie Qingci didn’t mention sharing half anymore, following behind her, sometimes reaching out to protect her from bumping into passing pedestrians.

Yu Xia didn’t notice his actions, kept her head down heartily eating the cake.

The pancake had a sugary center, grilled into syrup, and when she reached the middle it started oozing out, so sweet that she couldn’t help but take a big bite towards the center.

A bite hit the center just right, you could see the syrup jiggling inside.

She was about to adjust it to prevent the syrup from flowing out, but before she could get ready, the quiet player strapped to her waist suddenly started chirping.

"Hehehehe I’m here! Come and catch me! This gorgeous lady with flowing hair will never admit defeat, hum~"

At about the same time, the player on Xie Qingci’s waist also began its loud chant:

"I’m here! Little sister! Come find me so we can go back home together! Little sister! Brother is here!"

Startled, Yu Xia’s hand trembled, and the hot syrup spilled out. Without thinking, she lifted the cake and took a sip from the edge.

The next second she was scalded, grimacing painfully, covering her mouth wanting to spit but too afraid to.

Nearby passersby were shocked by this exaggerated and somewhat insane sound, standing two meters away, leaving a small area empty with just the two of them standing. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Xie Qingci too got surprised, nearly dropping the meat from the bun. Seeing Yu Xia getting burned, he immediately reached to pinch her cheek, urging her to open her mouth.

"Don’t swallow it, spit it out!"

But Yu Xia had already swallowed.

Then she turned her head to free herself from his hand, opened her mouth, inhaling and exhaling with a "hiss hiss hiss".

This stuff is really hot!

The heat brought tears to her eyes, swirling in her eye sockets, then spilling over her lashes after she blinked, dangling precariously, while her tongue tip went numb, mouth and throat feeling wooden.

She looked quite pitiful. Xie Qingci asked nervously, "How is it, does it hurt? I’ll go buy a bottle of water."

"No need." She waved him off, her teeth lightly biting the tip of her tongue, feeling some pain, quickly swallowing and exhaling a "hiss hiss".

After recovering, she subtly glanced at the camera and covered the small speaker, which had only chirped once, telling Xie Qingci, "We need to run quickly, the sound is too loud, the pursuer will surely hear it."

Saying this, she continued inhaling and her voice became a bit indistinct. Xie Qingci seemed to not hear clearly, stepped closer asking, "What?"

"I said hurry... Oh no, the pursuers are coming! Run quickly!"

On the street, several sturdy men in black t-shirts ran over, their clothes bearing the show’s logo, easy to recognize. Additionally, they were the only ones rushing in this direction, clearly identifiable.

Yu Xia packed the pancake into a plastic bag, at this moment Xie Qingci had already turned to see the pursuers, grabbed her wrist and began running.

"They’re coming with three people! We need to hide in a crowded place!"

"Your meat bun! Don’t drop it!"

"..." Xie Qingci felt speechless, thinking about the meat bun at a time like this.

Yu Xia didn’t care about his thoughts, snatching his meat bun and packing it, then speeding up with full effort.

The escape direction was that previous path, halfway along they happened to meet Song Xi and Lan Hui, who upon seeing their hurried pace instinctively joined the running.

Lan Hui, panicked and bewildered, asked while running, "What’s going on? Are the pursuers coming? We heard something, was it your little speaker?"

Yu Xia was dragged by Xie Qingci like a gust of wind, only leaving a trailing echo as a response in the air.

"Yes! Run quickly, three are coming and about to catch up!"

Lan Hui got more frantic, in the confusion she could only follow their direction and sprint.

"Yu Xia! Wait for us!"

Yu Xia continued running without looking back, yet managed to chat with her.

"Don’t shout! Stay quiet... Has your speaker sounded yet?!"

"No, it hasn’t! Why hasn’t ours sounded, aren’t they supposed to go off together?"

"...Don’t follow us! Get separated! Split up!"

If their speaker went off during the escape, wouldn’t they be like a radar on their tail?!
