Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 165: Kiss Me Again

It’s just the first day of filming, and Yu Xia was worried that Xie Qingci might not be used to it. She lay in bed planning to call him for a chat, to console and guide him.

But the call was directly hung up.

Yu Xia sat up in disbelief, staring blankly at the screen.

He actually dared to hang up on her... Alright, it must be because his assistant was around, and he couldn’t pick up.

So she lay back down, put away her phone, and prepared to rest.

Just as she closed her eyes, the phone buzzed again. Upon answering, she heard Xie Qingci’s low voice: "Open the door for me."

Yu Xia was startled, not even bothering to put on her shoes, she hurried over to open the door and pulled him inside.

"You’ve got guts, knocking on a female actor’s door in the middle of the night, aren’t you afraid of being seen?"

Xie Qingci took off his cap, his gaze falling on her feet, he picked her up.

Then, without a word, he kissed her thoroughly.

He really liked kissing, and rarely was he gentle; it often carried a wild streak, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

When he was finally satisfied with the kiss, he held her and sat on the bed, the two still closely entwined, like neck-locked swans, the sound of his breathing softly brushing against her ear.

Yu Xia almost couldn’t catch her breath, giving him a light punch,

"Stop breathing on me like that. Why did you come over directly?"

The whole film crew was staying on this floor, what if someone saw them.

Xie Qingci knew her concern and said, "Don’t worry, no one is around. I just missed you."

"...We just parted half an hour ago."

He said matter-of-factly, "That wasn’t time alone together. Are you cold?"

She waved her hand, "I’m fine, the air conditioning is on in the room, you can feel it."

"Oh, it’s cold." He neatly pulled down his jacket zipper, wrapping her inside it.

Yu Xia: "..."

To be honest, snuggling in his arms was quite warm and comfortable.

His jacket was very loose, she straightened her back a bit, snuggling in more, and the jacket zipper even closed up again.

"Your legs, kneel on me." He reached out and positioned her legs, letting the long jacket cover her legs as well.

Now her whole body was tightly pressed against his chest, looking up she first saw his chin.

Yu Xia felt strange, like a fierce lioness being petted into a kitten.

She constantly reminded herself of her "sister" role, although his actions hardly did justice to the word "brother."

She reached out a hand, touching from his neck to his cheek, saying, "I’m not cold, let me out."

"No, you are cold." Xie Qingci was determined to hold her like this, eagerly pressing her against his chest by the nape of her neck.

"..." She gave him a light slap on the chin with no real intention to hurt.

Even with such a weak hit, he went along with it, hissing as if in pain.

"Slap me in the face in the scene, now another one?"

Buried in his chest, Yu Xia’s voice was muffled, "The scene doesn’t count, during rehearsal I said it had to be real. Besides, you should be glad your acting was passable, no retakes, or you’d have been slapped back and forth all day."

Not to mention, it wasn’t a real slap, she had filmed many such scenes and knew how to control the force, it wouldn’t hurt much.

But after noticing his silence, she couldn’t resist rubbing his cheek.

"Does it really hurt?"

Xie Qingci looked down at her, "Yes, it hurts."

Clearly feigning it, she laughed and leaned in to give him a peck.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It still hurts," he chuckled along, lazily, "maybe another kiss would make it better."

So, she kissed him again.

"So you snuck over just for some comfort and a couple of kisses?"

Xie Qingci shook his head, then pulled her back onto the bed with him.

She was still trapped in his clothes, her limbs not flexible, and as they fell, she hit his chin, her bent knee couldn’t stretch out in time, harshly bumping into his thigh.

This time it genuinely hurt, causing him to frown and let out a muffled groan.

His body instinctively tensed, Yu Xia’s hand on his chest muscles could clearly feel the contraction.

Solidly built.

She awkwardly straightened her leg, trying seriously to say, "This isn’t my fault, you brought this upon yourself."

Then she gave his chest a gentle pat, "Quick, unzip your jacket, let me take a look."

Xie Qingci didn’t really want to let her go, but hearing her last words, reluctantly released her restraint.

Yu Xia tucked her disheveled long hair to one side, kneeling beside him, she poked a finger at his thigh.

"Does it hurt?"

"Yes, it hurts."

"Do you think I believe you?"

Xie Qingci: "...Sis, it really hurts."

Yu Xia raised an eyebrow at him half-propped up, his coat open, the thin sweater, as he supported himself with arms on either side, made his muscle lines more pronounced.

She crept closer, her hair tips swaying, gently brushing his chest, chin, slightly tickling.

Xie Qingci simply lay back, watching her lean over him.

"Is it really painful? Then should I kiss it better?" She lowered her head to kiss his lips.

He stared unblinkingly at her.

Her long hair was gathered over her right shoulder, revealing a bit of the pale skin on her left shoulder, her neck was slender, this position made her look more delicate and thin.

"Kiss here again." He said.

Yu Xia smiled, leaning in to gently kiss his Adam’s apple, softly flicking it with her tongue.

Xie Qingci couldn’t help but swallow, his Adam’s apple brushing against her lips as it moved.

She paused, lifting her head to meet his gaze.

"Sis," he breathed heavily, calling again, "baby."

"You came here to seduce me, didn’t you? Weren’t you tired from filming today?"

"Tired."

"Then go back to sleep."

She sat up straighter, intending to push him up, but Xie Qingci grabbed her hand, pulling her down and rolling over to pin her beneath him.

"Just stay a while, I really missed you."

She indulged him, but after half an hour, pushed him away without mercy.

"Alright... alright, you need to go."

After all that fuss, don’t you have an early shoot tomorrow?

Xie Qingci still didn’t move, casually caressing her waist, even bringing up a new topic.

"Is filming always this tiring?"

"This is tiring?" She didn’t catch the concern in his words, instead speaking objectively about the workload of filming.

"It’s only the first day, the scenes aren’t strenuous, there were no temper tantrums or retakes from unruly actors, it’s already going very well. As you film more, you’ll realize there are much more exhausting days."

Speaking of which, action films are not only tiring but also very dangerous.

She turned over, frowning and sighing at him.

"The path of an action star is even harder, anyone involved in fight scenes is prone to injury, many dedicated artists have scars of varying degrees."

Xie Qingci also missed the point, asking her, "Do you have any scars?"

Not waiting for her response, he continued his monologue, "There shouldn’t be any, I’ve been observing closely these past days."

Yu Xia: "..."
