Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Anyway, He Fell in Love with Me at First Sight

Yu Xia could tell what he meant.

She smiled, looking up at his close and exquisite brows and eyes, then slowly nodded:

"Sure, I don’t usually see you going out to eat. Young people should get out more. There’s a nice restaurant not far from our neighborhood; let’s go eat there together sometime."

Xie Qingci smiled along, "Then it’s settled."

They didn’t delay long; after eating their boxed meals, Yu Xia saw him out.

The assistant was still waiting outside with the car, and before Xie Qingci got in, he stole a kiss from her, as if afraid others wouldn’t see it. He didn’t even bother with a hat or mask and achieved his sneak attack when she was not paying attention.

Yu Xia gave him a playful glare and glanced over the car roof toward the opposite mountain with her peripheral vision.

Oh well, if they catch it, they catch it.

After seeing him off, she wandered back alone.

With no one disturbing her, Mei was holding her boxed meal and eating while engrossed in her phone, fully consumed by the internet.

She walked over slowly with her hands behind her back, sneaking a peek at the content on Weibo from behind, and saw a strange name that seemed to be about her.

"What are you looking at so intently?"

Mei quickly put down her meal and pointed it out to her.

"Marketing accounts digging into gossip."

Getting closer, she looked earnestly; the damn name was indeed about her.

[Xiaxia’s Tomb Grass: Deep Dive into the Timeline of Yu Xia and Xie Qingci’s Romance]

Yu Xia was speechless, "Which marketing account dares to pick this name?! Report it!"

"Don’t be angry, sis. This is a new account. It was originally called [Xiaxia’s Fandom Leader], but there was a typo, and it ended up like this. Later, your relationship got exposed yesterday, and in her sadness and anger, she added a ’grass’ to indicate that she’s been betrayed..."

Yu Xia: I can’t believe this crazy luck.

Trying hard to ignore the name, she clicked in to glance at this supposedly super-clear relationship timeline article.

[Xiaxia’s Tomb Grass: Let’s go back to when Yu Xia participated in the "Limited Youth" show. That was her first encounter with Xie Qingci. At that time, Yu Xia was the infamous gossip queen, with countless newcomers eager to latch onto her, while Xie Qingci was just an ordinary person with a handsome face.

Due to the overwhelming impact of too many rumors, Yu Xia was determined to avoid contact with any of the 101 boys. But! They ended up with the same song for their initial stage! This was how Xie Qingci started to notice her, and it gradually became serious! However, the show didn’t allow for romance, leaving him in silent, unrequited love, growing more and more reserved!

After debuting, they were not supposed to meet again. Xie Qingci might have considered letting go, but fate wouldn’t have it! They crossed paths in a drama, with characters eerily similar to themselves!

Isn’t it so that Xie Qingci was overjoyed? It seemed even fate wanted them to develop a romance! He was caught between the reality and the script, becoming more and more reluctant to let go, even with Yu Xia remaining unaffected.

According to insiders, Xie Qingci even chased away a creepy suitor of Yu Xia on set, showing everyone he liked her beyond control!

Then came another collaboration on "Infinite Escape," which Xie Qingci surely fought for, or else how could it be their third time partnering up so quickly? This time he couldn’t hold back his desire to get closer. On the show, he caught a wonton that Yu Xia spat out with his bare hands; whatever Yu Xia said, it was it. It was obvious to everyone; he had no words in the team but turned into a loyal pup wagging his tail around Yu Xia!

With all these interactions, Yu Xia surely started to get emotionally stirred over time! And once she did, would Xie Qingci let it slip by? No way! He openly pursued her with all his efforts, finally winning his belle over! After a year-long secret crush, it has finally become real!]

After reading, Yu Xia asked Mei, "You believe this nonsense?"

Mei blushed a little, "It’s just... shipping CPs gets you high, and you always want to find more evidence to prove your CP is madly in love, right?"

"...Haven’t you seen most of the plot unfold? Isn’t that enough?"

"You don’t get it, sis," Mei said mysteriously, "Sometimes, the text description is the best fantasy because we can imagine and perfectly supplement based on the words."

In reality, their love is at an eight out of ten, but we can imagine it to be eighty, and add some background stories based on our preferences, making it even more thrilling.

Yu Xia couldn’t understand, but she could see the wicked glint in Mei’s eyes.

"Alright, as you please. People do have different tastes. I don’t agree, but I respect it."

She walked to one side to continue reading the script for tomorrow’s scenes, while Mei continued scrolling through Weibo, occasionally getting so excited that her face reddened, even stomping her feet, making noises a human should not make.

She suspected Mei was seeing some sensational content.

After holding back and holding back, Yu Xia finally put down her script with a blank face and waved Mei over.

"Come here, let me tell you an even more thrilling version."

"One day, a heroine who had decided to live a pure life without involving with men met a hero who had never liked any contact with women since childhood. They bumped into each other at a corner and suddenly, after touching each other’s bodies, they felt electrified, with the hairs on their bodies trembling. Both were stunned and looked up, good heavens, this was the feeling of falling in love at first sight!"

Mei: "...Is this a fantasy setting?" It offered her zero interest for fantasizing; it was not appealing at all.

Yu Xia took a sip of water to soothe her throat, "Anyway, that’s the template; you just fill in the imagination. Overall, the main story is Xie Qingci fell for me at first sight."

Mei: "...Okay."

It wasn’t as good as that ’tomb grass’ account, which at least had more than half of coincidences mixed with truth.

Yu Xia was satisfied and picked up her script again.

Having just gotten a new phone, she wasn’t in a hurry to surf the internet to catch up on things. Xie Qingci and He Ci told her to focus on filming, and neither online blessings nor insults could affect her.

However, her brother, who called in the morning to ask about her injuries, finally had a better attitude towards Xie Qingci, even saying his cross-country trip to see his girlfriend was not bad, barely considering him a tolerable man.

Yue Ling also suggested she could include Xie Qingci for a family meal when she had the chance.

Yu Xia hadn’t told Xie Qingci about this yet.

He had previously mentioned that his parents wanted to have a meal with her, and she had agreed but didn’t know the specific time, or perhaps he had forgotten already?

If she went to dine with his parents first, and then took him to meet her family, those ever-present paparazzi would immediately write about them as [Good News Imminent, Marriage Certificate Soon], that would be a real bombshell headline.

Holding the script, she started to zone out a bit while reading.

Now that they’ve gone public, there were many things they didn’t dare to do before that they could do openly. Besides dining out or shopping together, what else did Xie Qingci want to do?

Ice-breaking festival? Returning to school with him? Or... a romance variety show?
