Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 367: Suddenly Realizing How Beautiful Yu Xia Is

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Suddenly Realizing How Beautiful Yu Xia Is

Xie Qingci and Song Xi didn’t hear what Yu Xia said, they were interacting with a blank expression.

Song Xi didn’t want to see Xie Qingci, and Xie Qingci couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge him. The two had the fate of being in the same team without the bond, with their smiles on camera appearing forced.

At this moment, Lan Hui, whose mouth was now free, played an important role in carrying the heavy responsibility of friendly conversation between the two groups.

She wrinkled her nose and quietly asked, "Why is there a weird smell?"

Song Xi’s pupils contracted, and he instinctively looked towards Yu Xia.

Even though it was unclear why he reacted this way, Yu Xia didn’t pay much attention to him, and casually explained.

"Oh, I had a little snack. You came late, I just finished not long ago."

Lan Hui leaned a bit closer and sweetly asked, "The leftovers from yesterday?"

Yu Xia pushed her round face away, looking all virtuous.

"Just talk without sticking too close. Also, don’t try to say irrelevant things to divert attention. Tell me, why did you come looking for us now?"

Lan Hui blinked her innocent round eyes and said, "We just came up to the eighth floor to look around, after all, the seventh floor isn’t safe anymore."

"Lying. You know full well that it’s only us on the eighth floor, and it would be a ghost if you came up not to find us. Moreover, since the seventh floor is unsafe, wouldn’t the sixth and fifth be better? This place isn’t safe either."

Lan Hui sneaked a glance at Song Xi.

Song Xi smiled and said, "Alright, we did come to find you."

"Why are you looking for us?" Xie Qingci took over the conversation.

Song Xi replied, "To form an alliance, protect the two girls, how about it?"

The territory for this phase is too small, and it’s only the second day, and four people have been eliminated. It’s possible that we might all be caught before reaching the endpoint, which would be bad.

Among them, the girls have slightly weaker physical strength, even Fang Yuanzhou, an athlete, is struggling to go up and down the stairs; let alone female celebrities whose physical activity is not great.

If the girls in the team were caught, it would mean giving up on flag-raising because it requires two people to be there simultaneously.

If they were to form an alliance, they could temporarily reorganize the teams. Xie Qingci and Song Xi would go out together to complete tasks. Yu Xia and Lan Hui would scout the environment to pass on information, supporting with information safely and effortlessly.

It was indeed a good proposal.

So even though Xie Qingci was not very happy, they agreed.

In the coming time, Yu Xia carried a backpack and with Lan Hui, was escorted to the iron door room on the third floor.

After half an hour of the hunters frantically catching guests, there’s a ten-minute break, and they had little time. They sprinted down to the third floor trying their best to avoid other guests, then the four parted ways inside and outside the iron door.

Back in this locked room, Yu Xia felt like she had returned home, finally relieved.

She sincerely invited Lan Hui to sit anywhere, stood on the balcony breathing the fresh air outside, as if this was a riverside villa instead of an unfinished building.

Lan Hui looked around but didn’t find anywhere to sit, so she followed her to the balcony, looking out. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She glanced sideways, pondering as she asked:

"Yu Xia, don’t you find this a bit strange? It feels like even if we win, it has nothing to do with us."

Yu Xia’s gaze swept over her, "Who said so? Information support positions are just as important as operational ones, okay?"

"Then, are we really staying here all along?"

Yu Xia replied with a "Hmm."

"Recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Indeed, our stamina is not as good as theirs. Plus, you already spent points to bail yourself once, going out now would be risky, easily leading to the team’s downfall. This way is nice; they bring back clues, and we analyze them. Dividing the work might increase efficiency."

Lan Hui listened intently, her gaze grazing over Yu Xia, and after meeting her eyes, she shifted her focus elsewhere.

Talking about principles, she wouldn’t be too serious, even having a somewhat casual attitude but still easily convincing others.

This casualness isn’t out of unfounded guilt, specifically when locking eyes with her aimless gaze, the other person usually looks away first.

She’s like a bright light that one dares not look at directly.

More specifically... somewhat like the most popular girl at school during teenage years: confident, with the right values and steadfast, having many friends, never blindly following others’ opinions, standing firm on what she deems right despite hearsay.

The timid admire her; the indecisive flock to her.

No wonder many people liked her, no wonder, Song Xi didn’t even dare to look twice.

"Why are you staring at me?" Yu Xia suddenly asked.

Lan Hui touched her own ear and said, "Just realized Yu Xia looks so beautiful, more beautiful than usual."

Yu Xia chuckled, accepted the compliment, and winked at her.

"You’re so cute, I’ll give you an extra cookie later."

By evening, the production team sent over a big package.

This time, almost half of the people sharing the big package were gone, so they received more.

Xie Qingci and Song Xi brought back two towels, a pile of food, a few bottles of water, and a small mirror.

With Song Xi and Lan Hui joining, the room was devoid of any ambiguous atmosphere, filled with integrity and righteousness.

The food included bread and canned fruit, aside from items similar to yesterday, there were also a few walnuts and an apple.

The apple was given to the two girls by default, Xie Qingci forcefully split it into half, giving the one with more flesh to Yu Xia.

Song Xi had no objection, Lan Hui had no objection, but Yu Xia felt a bit embarrassed.

So, when Lan Hui quietly said she couldn’t open the canned fruit, Yu Xia immediately took it over, two slender wrists applied force in opposite directions, crack, pop, opened.

When Lan Hui said she couldn’t crack the walnut, Yu Xia placed a towel over her palm and smacked it forcefully, almost crushing the walnut meat.

Xie Qingci and Song Xi’s eyelids twitched as they watched, silently staring at the two of them.

Lan Hui whimpered in gratitude, Yu Xia laughed happily. One affectionately called "Yu Xia~," the other responded comfortingly, "Yes~," occasionally accompanied by head pats, ear whispers, and small actions of sharing food with each other.

Xie Qingci couldn’t eat anymore, found a place away from the three of them, and lowered his head, cracking walnuts on his own.

Song Xi sat alone near the door, his head lowered and absentmindedly eating cookies, coughing from choking before remembering to drink some water, as if deep in thought.

Compared to the previous night, the following nights were calm and safe.

Yu Xia felt like Song Xi was there to monitor her and Xie Qingci.

With outsiders around, Xie Qingci couldn’t do whatever he wanted, so since the alliance began, he found no chance to secretly hold her hand.

Kissing and hugging were even more out of the question, so by the last two days, his frustration was visible to the naked eye.

Yu Xia found it quite amusing.

He was like a child unable to reach their favorite lollipop, missing the daily intimacy; he seemed to be suffering without it, with a fierce edge to his eyes, giving colder and colder looks towards Song Xi from behind the camera.
