Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 126: Cheating? Choke to Death

The bespectacled man still hadn’t recovered from the sudden change in attitude of the daisy girl.

The girl with long straight black hair was excitedly giving her a thumbs up: "Turns out I was wrong about you, you’re great."

The daisy girl was about to leave but turned back upon hearing this, grabbed the long straight black-haired girl’s hand, and sighed: "I really loved him sincerely, but he gave me a shock... I don’t believe in love anymore, but if you’re willing... Shall we live together? How about that? No need to bother with stinky men."

The long straight black-haired girl looked at her tenderly and said: "Alright."

The two of them held hands, wiping tears for each other, putting wigs on each other, full of affection, leaving the bespectacled man dumbfounded.

The victims ended up together, the vacillating man who cheated was abandoned.

This ending is truly baffling, Yu Xia was suddenly lost in thought—even considered the possibility of Xie Qingci cheating...

"Yu Xia," Xie Qingci called her once.

Yu Xia jerked her head up, looking at him with eyes still fuming with anger over the cheating scumbag.

"Hmm? What’s up?"

Xie Qingci maintained his smile: "Everyone is discussing what you would do if you were that girl."

"Me? It’s simple, let everyone know he cheated, then slap him."

"That’s it?" He felt this didn’t quite match her temperament.

She squeezed the crispy snack remnants in the bag, responding perfunctorily: "Once everyone knows he cheated, the audience won’t let him off. Besides, it’s better to cut losses early and find someone else, isn’t it?"

Xie Qingci took a deep breath with eyes closed.

He felt that what she meant wasn’t in what she said but rather in the hands squeezing that pack of crispy snacks—cheating? Easy, just squash it.

But what does that have to do with him—he pressed down his twitching eyelids and almost couldn’t resist pulling her to swear he would never let that happen.

The story ended, and everyone gathered around to discuss who the most miserable person actually was.

Yu Xia thought the worst off was still the deluded one who got deceived, followed by the girl whose boyfriend with a wig dumped her, and she planned to try out these two names when the time came.

Xie Qingci cast a veiled glance at her repeatedly, seemingly wanting to say something. She squeezed the crispy snack remnants again, slowly asked: "Little brother, got something to say?"

"Yu Xia, you’re about to squeeze the pack into pieces." He felt as if she was squeezing him.

"..." None of your business! She forced a smile and said, "You don’t understand. The last bits of crispy snacks taste better when they crumble into pieces. Besides, it’s not like I have that much strength."

Xie Qingci said no more.

The identification area was in front, and they all hurried over to gather around, waiting for the broadcast to announce the go-ahead for identifications, then pushed forward.

Yu Xia didn’t join them, staying at the back of the crowd, tiptoeing to see who managed to be first.

It was Shu Ran, she sat at the identification station’s chair, took a card, and began writing a name.

She appeared confident, and after handing it in, she leisurely turned back to chat with the boys.

Then that card was tossed into a box behind, and the staff declared it a failure.

"Identification failed, next."

Shu Ran widened her eyes: "Failed?! But that’s the person who’s supposed to be the worst off! Everyone thinks so!"

The staff stayed unmoved, repeated "Identification failed, next."

She made way, confused, and next was Wei Yaoyao, who wrote a different name, handed it in, and it still failed.

Yu Xia stood at the back, stroking her chin in thought.

The name Shu Ran wrote should be the deluded one they discussed earlier, but the identification failure meant the worst-off person wasn’t the deluded one, then who could it be?

Could there be someone who’s more secretly miserable? For example, is the cheater actually the most miserable? That doesn’t seem right.

She pondered, watched a few brothers experiment, they all failed.

Every alternate name she had in mind had been written, and none was right. She furrowed her brows, seized the next turn, and after some thought, wrote her own name.

If true, that would be something. After watching a circle of affectionate, sad stories, the most miserable was the one listening to the story.

Scumbag had a girlfriend, not just one, the neon-green mohawk dude even had a girlfriend, and there she was, eating crispy snacks like a fool, giggling while watching the show—indeed quite miserable.

As soon as she handed it in, behind the signboard at the identification area, two staff members rushed out wearing white gloves and sunglasses, came rushing over, covered her mouth, and dragged her backward.

Yu Xia was startled, her feet kicked wildly, she shook her head vigorously, hands reaching out towards them.

Just like the Heavenly Court sending people to kidnap Zhi Niu and split up Niu Lang.

Everyone was dumbfounded, Xie Qingci calmly retracted his foot, looking towards the staff at the identification area.

The staff took a pair of gongs and a small drum from under the table, struck and beat them in celebration: "Congratulations Yu Xia on successfully identifying!"

"..."

Such an ostentatious way of celebrating.

After half a minute of striking gongs and beating drums, they packed up their stuff, returning to a serious demeanor, asking: "Who’s next?"

"Me, me, me!" Wei Yaoyao jumped up with his hand, but unfortunately, Xie Qingci beat him to the chair.

Just now he understood Yu Xia’s actions, hesitated a bit, then wrote his own name.

Sure enough, upon submission, he was dragged away with his mouth covered.

The people behind looked at each other, not knowing whose names they could have written to succeed.

The only successes were the two of them at the front; the people behind were momentarily clueless, thus very naturally—

Inside the small dark room, it was only Yu Xia and Xie Qingci.

When Xie Qingci came in, Yu Xia had just drunk half a bottle of water, her lips moist, as if water droplets might fall off at any moment.

"You’re the second one, come in quickly, have a seat, and drink some water."

She was just worried whether Xie Qingci could understand her gesture, after all, her hand was only outstretched for two seconds before the staff pressed it down.

Xie Qingci exchanged a knowing glance with her, then sat down beside her.

The small dark room had excellent amenities; air conditioning, fruit, drinks, and snacks were all available. Once seated, Xie Qingci casually picked up an orange from the table and meticulously peeled it, his gaze lowered.

Those hands had been praised by countless fans when he played guitar, now, carefully peeling the white pith off the orange slices, seemed almost artistic, making one unable to help but follow his movements.

Yu Xia was busy quenching her thirst, not paying much attention to him, until suddenly, a hand reached out toward her, offering her half an orange, prompting her to look at him in surprise.

His slender fingers cradled half a clean orange segment, mouth-watering.

"For me? Thanks, little brother."

Xie Qingci withdrew his hand to divide the remaining half into separate wedges, pinched one, and pushed the juice into his mouth.

Sour and sweet, bearable.

He wasn’t a big fan of fruit, would buy a few apples, leaving them at home for a fortnight without finishing them. Grapes he occasionally ate, because Yu Xia said she liked them.

Every time she ate them, he couldn’t help but embrace her to kiss, the grapes crushed, their juice stained her lips, moist and shiny, enticing him to want to savor them cleanly.

It was indeed sweet, sweet enough to lift one’s spirits.
