Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself

Called Yu Heng, and told him with great emotion about her sweet love life with Xie Qingci, and received his sincere sentence, "He really loves you"...

Hell. Hard to endure.

Yu Xia looked at Xie Qingci sadly and could only squeeze out a sentence: "Lots of people in the big flat, lively."

A few minutes ago, she still complained that life was too boring, but now, she could "enjoy" the communal life without privacy in the crowd.

Xie Qingci looked at her, sighed and resigned after a moment.

Their expressions of frustration were so obvious, the camera focused on them first.

Zheng Jinjin noticed too, and asked them, "What’s wrong, do you find it challenging?"

"There is a bit of a challenge."

Zheng Jinjin: "Then you can hope this person doesn’t answer, and let Xie designate you to call someone else."

Yu Xia sighed again and shook her head: "No, this person will definitely pick up."

Because of his work, Yu Heng’s phone is never on silent, even during meetings. And whenever she calls, he always assumes it’s something urgent, never missing her call.

It’s also a testament to their deep sibling connection, but it’s about to become the main reason her life will take a dive.

Yu Xia looked at the glaring words "CEO" on the screen, and before tapping it, she asked Xie Qingci:

"Are you ready?"

Xie Qingci: "...Aren’t you supposed to be the one who’s ready?"

"No, he won’t get mad at me. But if I forcefully try to coax him into saying that...that line, it will certainly be super cheesy. Do you think he’d waste a few minutes listening to how loving we are? He can’t get mad at me, so he has to..."

Xie Qingci was silent.

"Just call." His tone had a sense of detachment, like accepting one’s fate.

Yu Xia jabbed at the number, the dial tone began.

When the call is connecting but not yet connected, it’s the most nerve-wracking, hoping they won’t answer while also thinking it’s better to just get it over with if they do answer.

"Beep beep beep—click."

"Hello?" Yu Heng’s deep, magnetic voice was amplified.

Yu Xia’s brain short-circuited, she started with two dry laughs: "Big bro—"

Yu Heng moved away from the phone for a moment, as if speaking to someone next to him, then asked her: "You want meat again?"

"...No, I have meat."

"Then why are you calling? Got something else?"

She nodded as she said "Mm," trying to present this matter seriously, hoping he would spend at least the first two minutes unable to recover enough to scold her.

"It’s like this, my dear brother, I hope you give me one minute of your time, I have a very meaningful story to tell you."

Yu Heng: "Go on."

"It was a sunny morning, I woke up to find a guy whose back is slightly less handsome than yours, the weather was too good and the light too wonderful, I felt it was a hint from heaven, telling me this guy is my dream man.

And then we got together. He... is especially nice, good-looking, gentle, can cook and manage household chores, and also very..."

She got stuck, the staff immediately lifted a sign and shook it across from her.

[Describe specific sweet details]

She opened her mouth, racking her brains for any detail she could say, then squeezed out a few sentences: 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"And he’s very considerate, knowing when something happens to me, he rushes to find me despite his motion sickness, spends time with me when I’m in a bad mood, never hangs up first on calls, never eats before me when cooking, never..."

She couldn’t continue, she wasn’t the type to like praising her boyfriend to others.

Then she heard Yu Heng coldly say: "Should I applaud your love?"

Yu Xia: "..."

Xie Qingci: "..."

Others: "..."

She let out two dry laughs, cautiously guiding him towards the right answer: "Brother, I’ve said so much, as a thoughtful brother, don’t you have any sincere, solemn, heartfelt comments to make?"

With her heart in her throat, she waited for him to say "He really loves you," although none of the sweet details she just mentioned sounded that sweet.

She could only hope her brother was smart enough to guess she was completing a task set by the show.

Yu Heng let out a cold laugh: "Of course I do, with three exclamation points—that you should include a mental health checkup next time, see if he’s eaten your brain."

Soon enough, he indeed instructed his secretary over there to book the next checkup, then said one last thing.

"Wasting three minutes listening to your nonsense, your birthday money is gone this year."

The phone beeped again.

Yu Xia looked at Xie Qingci with a defeated face, then shouted towards the director and the camera: "The show set me up!"

[As expected, our CEO bro is quite the CEO hahahaha]

[Doesn’t Yu Xia’s brother like Xie Qingci? I thought the gossip said she brought him home before?]

[CEO bro is a sis-con, reportedly when Yu Xia broke up with Xi Heng, our bro went straight to Xi Heng to cause trouble without even asking]

[One phone call, from a life of comfort to living without privileges, lost the nice accommodation on the show, and her birthday gifts withheld hahaha]

[Just yesterday, people said the show was rigged for those two, living in the nice apartment, didn’t expect them to be kicked out today / in shock.jpg]

[Come on, which brother likes their sister’s boyfriend anyway?]

[Others’ reactions are so funny, all looking like "Wow, they’re the first ones to fail hahaha and I’m so happy about it for some reason"]

[Those two mentally prepared for failure from the start, right hahahaha, Xie Qingci is already observing the big flat]

[Ah, why does my CP have to be separated, sleeping in a dorm style setup, why am I excited about this]

[Let me say, I’m not a pervert, but I do want to see them "unreachable love" and "gazing at each other from afar" / revealing a perverted look.jpg]

[CEO bro said she was talking nonsense hahahaha! He straight-up refuses to believe their sweetness]

[...]

And so it happened, with just one phone call, Yu Xia and Xie Qingci lost their small building, becoming one of the many failing groups, dragging their suitcase and little scooter, standing forlornly in the courtyard of the big flat.

Yu Xia: "What to do now?"

Xie Qingci: "Let’s elope."

Yu Xia: "...I’m asking seriously. Co-renting isn’t easy."

Xie Qingci: "No worries, in school, the male and female dorms are miles apart and still manage to date, it’s just sleeping in separate beds."

Yu Xia: "Hope you’ll keep your word."

Xie Qingci: "Nevermind, I can’t keep it."

Then she watched him confidently walk inside with both of their suitcases.

Yu Xia saw his bold expression and felt he was up to no good.
