Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself

Yu Xia read the letter for a long time. When she entered the hot spring resort, cameras curiously zoomed in on the letter in her hand, so she pretended to nonchalantly put the letter away.

Xie Qingci writes these shamelessly fiery love letters again!

She could hardly bear to look at it, folded it up, and tucked it into her bag. Casually flipping her hair, she secretly pinched Xie Qingci’s outstretched hand.

Xie Qingci let out a "hiss" from the pain but didn’t stop his actions and directly pulled her closer.

"Why pinch me?" He asked with a seemingly innocent expression.

"Don’t you know yourself?" She shot him a sideways glance.

The intensity in the letter was enough to make it catch fire on its own.

Xie Qingci even said, "I really don’t know. Ah, are you telling me I shouldn’t only wear swim trunks? I’ll listen to you."

"..." This habit of talking to himself is getting worse.

From the resort entrance, the crew had booked a large outdoor hot spring pool on top of a mountain, offering a view of the entire mountain below.

As expected, everyone would soak together. Still, looking at the blue sky and white clouds with the distant pine waves, soaking in the hot springs, and sipping red wine while chatting about feelings wasn’t bad at all.

The men’s and women’s dressing rooms were in different locations. Under Xie Qingci’s gaze, Yu Xia happily walked into the women’s changing room to pick out swimsuits with the other girls.

There were many beautiful swimsuits. She took a liking to a white one-piece with an irregular design, stretched on the hanger, clearly a test for one’s figure.

Just as she was about to reach for it, Ling Yan and Lin Shuangyin behind her cheered, "Wow, that white one looks great! I had one similar before, and it’s really a man-slayer when worn!"

Yu Xia didn’t lift her eyelids at all, continuing to reach out and straightforwardly took the swimsuit off the hanger, holding it in her hand.

Lin Shuangyin asked bashfully, "Yu Xia, you’re choosing this one?"

She nodded with a smile.

Ling Yan, half a step behind Lin Shuangyin, talked to herself as if speaking to a wall, muttering, "Aren’t you wearing a bathrobe?"

She promised Xie Qingci she’d wear a bathrobe in the hot spring, a fact they had already learned from Liu Ji. The guys privately envied Xie Qingci for managing to win her over, while the girls privately discussed how she wasn’t as domineering in relationships as others said.

Even a small matter can reveal many issues, and now they increasingly believe that Yu Xia and Xie Qingci show off their love more often.

Yu Xia glanced at her, continued selecting swimsuits leisurely, saying, "Wearing a bathrobe means no swimsuit underneath? Your tastes are truly unique. Not only will I wear one, but I’ll also wear one I like. It doesn’t matter if others can’t see it; my own mood is what counts."

Ling Yan didn’t reply, and Lin Shuangyin pulled her to the other side, saying something like, "Forget it, don’t provoke her."

She gave a soft snort, leisurely continued browsing through the other swimsuits, moving from one side to the other, bumping into Lan Hui and Zheng Jinjin who were hesitating over a few picked-out swimsuits.

Zheng Jinjin seemed to trust her taste very much and pulled her over for help.

"Yu Xia, which one do you think suits Lan Hui and me?"

Yu Xia pointed out two sets, casually asking, "Do you have an ideal partner in mind?"

Zheng Jinjin held up the swimsuit, saying lightly, "It’s not just for one person to see, we aim for ’cast a wide net to catch them all’. After all, it concerns whether I can live in a little villa and enjoy modern life."

"... Modern humans are always struggling for housing."

She turned to Lan Hui with a questioning look.

Lan Hui was adopting a ’couldn’t care less’ attitude, "I just like nice swimsuits, no other worldly desires."

"Even living in a little villa doesn’t attract you anymore? Didn’t you cast a wide net last time?"

Lan Hui waved her hand, "From that experience, I learned a life lesson — forcing yourself to interact with someone you don’t like is really akin to being imprisoned."

She was referring to living with Qian Ling.

Yu Xia glanced at Ling Yan’s position, revealing a subtle smile, "Seems like you got something out of this show too."

Finished selecting, she went into the cubicle to change. Lan Hui, who had changed beforehand, waited outside, eyes lighting up as soon as she came out.

"I want to ask you something."

Yu Xia: "I refuse to answer."

"Does having a boyfriend really cause... cause such a change?"

Zheng Jinjin came out, glanced, and with an innocent student-like face, spoke in a meaningful tone.

"This level isn’t possible with just an ordinary boyfriend."

Yu Xia calmly donned the bathrobe to cover herself.

The two of them continued their secretive discussion.

"Xie Qingci doesn’t seem like... he looks like he doesn’t talk much and doesn’t like to move."

"You know people but not their hearts."

"Can you even use that saying like this?"

"If the vibe fits, it works."

"Doesn’t everyone look similar on the red carpet? All of us trying to look thin enough for the camera, but why is there such a big difference up close?"

"Maybe you’re mistaken. I remember on the online rumor photos, she looked quite..."

Not finishing the sentence, she performed an S-curve gesture, worried she might miss the point.

Yu Xia ignored their whispers, walked to the mirror to fix her hair.

Ling Yan had already been meticulously dolling up in front of the mirror for a while, with a cosmetic bag in front, fully applying lipstick.

Without looking around, she tidied her hair and pulled open the door to leave.

The five guys in the pool had already picked their spots, and there was a wooden tray floating in the middle of the hot spring pool, holding wine bottles and glasses against the wall.

Zhou Yu and Lin Shuangyin stood by the edge, not yet in the water.

Xie Qingci was leaning on the side, waiting for her.

He was also wearing a bathrobe, turned to gaze at the scenery outside, with his lowered eyes and tall nose bridge reflecting brilliantly in the hot spring’s rippling light, leaving only a clear, smooth jawline.

There was a hint of melancholic youth, oddly captivating.

"What are you looking at?" she walked over to ask.

Xie Qingci turned, a small smile on his lips, "Shall we find a chance to travel abroad next time? I know a few good hot spring hotels."

"Did you plan on really soaking in the hot springs?" No, he planned on soaking in her.

He didn’t deny his little intentions, "Couples need dates, isn’t that normal?"

"You’re the one who’s not normal."

After a brief chat, they helped each other lower into the pool.

Yu Xia chose a spot close to the edge of the hot spring, where she could see the scenery below the mountain by just lowering her head.

Xie Qingci sat closely beside her, seeing the hot spring water causing her bathrobe to open slightly, he kindly helped re-wrap it snugly, using the posture to whisper, "What are you wearing underneath?"

Yu Xia tried hard to pretend he only asked, "What’s your name," swatted his hand away, and handed him the wine glass Liu Ji passed over.

"Less talk, more meditation."

"My mind is full of... mmm." Again, his mouth was covered.

She had become quite adept at this covering-the-mouth procedure, blocking his lips with one hand, while the other hand smoothly picked up a glass from the wooden tray and took a sip of red wine.

"The more you speak, the more mistakes you make. Silence is golden."

Xie Qingci’s eyes smiled at her, slowly making a movement.

Feeling a moist sensation in his palm, Yu Xia almost spilled her red wine into the pool.
