Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 70: Song and Dance Card

The impression the misfortune card left on her was too deep, causing her to actively keep her distance when they were selecting cards for the escape room two days ago.

Now seeing this again, she wished she could fly eight hundred miles away.

"You choose, I’m not participating."

Rushing to speak before Xie Qingci, she quickly took two steps back and said.

Xie Qingci asked deliberately, "Are you sure you don’t want to choose? What if you pick an awesome card this time?"

"Don’t try to trick me, that kind of thinking is a gambler’s mindset! I’m not falling for it, you can forget it!"

She put on a resolute and unyielding look.

Xie Qingci chuckled lightly twice, "All right then, I’ll choose myself."

This time there was no one behind the display case, the glass cabinet was open, the prop cards were placed in several black slots, and next to each slot was a button.

His fingers skimmed over each card, finally resting his index finger on the card in the middle.

"This one."

He pressed the button.

The card lifted up, and at the same time, a mechanical electronic voice sounded from the small speaker in the display case.

"Xie Qingci purchases the Song and Dance card for 8 points, points have been deducted, enjoy, and welcome next time."

"The Song and Dance card?" Yu Xia leaned over for a look, "What’s the description? You have to dance?"

Xie Qingci shook his head, "Gather everyone else, sing and dance to entertain me."

Yu Xia’s eyes widened, covering her upturned mouth with a fan.

"No way, you picked an Emperor Experience card!"

As soon as she finished speaking, an electronic voice sounded above them.

"Player Xie Qingci purchased the Song and Dance card, prop card in effect, all players please proceed to the center of the square immediately!"

This was amazing, gathering everyone together at once, giving her the perfect opportunity to observe everyone’s attire and figure out the suspect.

"Although 8 points is a bit pricey, it’s still worth it!" she cheerfully waved her fan, giving Xie Qingci an appreciative glance.

Xie Qingci held the card and said, "Then let’s go and see what this Song and Dance is like."

The two walked side by side, his right hand near her was held behind his back, not touching her in the slightest.

The desire to touch was one thing, respecting the situation was another, he always knew how to distinguish when not to lose control.

Yu Xia didn’t notice his small gesture, her mind filled with excitement about the upcoming large-scale song and dance performance she’d witness.

Walking out of the area, seeing many people already jogging to gather at the square, she suddenly remembered a problem.

"You bought the card, doesn’t the service include teammates? So among the people singing and dancing there’s me as well? Do I have to dance for you?"

Xie Qingci initially intended to say it could include teammates, but after hearing the last part, he changed his mind.

"That’s indeed how it is, what dance can you do? I can prioritize considering what you can dance."

Yu Xia’s excitement faded, forcing a smile, "Does the eighth set of broadcast exercises count?"

Xie Qingci: "...It should, count?"

After saying it, he laughed, turning his head to the side, smiling.

Entering the crowd, groups of young men with varied attire curiously asked Xie Qingci:

"What card is it? What’s going on?"

"I just remembered, I also had points from last session, I should go buy a card later too."

"What is the Song and Dance? Don’t tell us we’re supposed to sing and dance?"

"Does this mean we have to stop and dance, giving you more time to eliminate people? I heard you allied with Yu Xia, is Yu Xia’s murder weapon the fan?"

"Then can’t my big knife here also be a murder weapon?"

Chatter filled the air with youthful hormones, making people’s heads spin from the heat.

The fortune teller sitting behind the appraisal station lifted his small dark glasses to his head and shouted through a loudspeaker:

"Quiet! Quiet! Let me explain the usage of this Song and Dance card!"

"As the name suggests, everyone needs to perform a show together for the player who bought this card, making sure he’s satisfied with what he sees."

Shu Ran arrived late just in time to hear this, shocked: "Dance?"

Yu Xia bitterly, "Yes, dance."

The young men were fine, even if they said they couldn’t dance it’s only modesty, she and Shu Ran were different, when they said they couldn’t, they really couldn’t.

What they learned before was forced, and they’d long forgotten it.

Some sharp-eyed young men noticed their bitterness, urging everyone to pick a performance they could follow along with.

Then someone came up with a lousy idea.

"Then how about square dancing! Just stepping east and west will do!"

"Can you not, square dancing in ancient costumes? Hahahahaha!"

Yu Xia looked at Xie Qingci.

"Bro, have mercy."

Xie Qingci nodded with suppressed laughter, "Certainly."

"I’m not picky, let’s perform the eighth set of broadcast exercises then."

Yu Xia: "!"

This guy’s serious about it!

Others widened their eyes in disbelief.

"What? Broadcast exercises?!"

"I thought square dancing was wild enough."

"Hahahaha help! Dancing broadcast exercises in ancient costume is beyond imagination!"

"Your taste is quite unique, Xie Qingci!"

"None of us remember the moves! Who even remembers the eighth set of broadcast exercises?"

Yu Xia and Shu Ran were still in shock when the staff, working very diligently, started playing the music for the broadcast exercises.

He didn’t leave after setting up, just stood behind waiting to see the excitement.

"Let’s start, the eighth set of broadcast exercises, colorful sunglow, march in place! One, two..."

Reflexive movements were faster than mental reactions, all those saying they couldn’t started marching in place.

Reaching the stretching exercise, Yu Xia even unconsciously stood up straight and did it very well.

Xie Qingci stood at the forefront, enjoying the show, even clapping.

She felt incredibly embarrassed.

Dancing broadcast exercises in ancient costume, no ordinary person would do such a thing, and yet she was doing it in front of him while he watched with relish!

She’d rather perform a Chinese dance, at least she learned a couple of new moves recently.

It was all so strange and embarrassing, she thought, while her hands continued to perform the chest expansion exercises perfectly.

Expanding left, expanding right, making sure not to face him directly.

She avoided his smiling gaze, her ears burning.

Although it wasn’t appropriate, back in middle school, she had been a leader in exercises, surely making her the most standard performer here.

Thinking of this made her a bit excited, she even performed the kicking moves precisely.

The large motions made the robe sway, the hairpieces bobbed up and down, the skirt swung open, revealing a small part of her fair ankle above the embroidered shoes.

She was sweating more and more.

Xie Qingci called for a stop.

"That’s enough, I’m quite satisfied."

Yu Xia ceased her movements, quickly fanning wildly.

The exercise group disbanded, it seemed some young men had found clues and rushed back to their previous locations, while those still clueless stayed put, hoping to gain some useful leads by chatting with others.

Two young men who had been sent away earlier now gathered around Xie Qingci and Yu Xia.

Bringing with them additional clues.
