Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 216: Tianluo Girl

On the second day after filming wrapped, Yu Xia finally got a chance to sleep in. She planned to sleep until noon since she had only gone to bed at dawn.

But unexpectedly, there was someone knocking at her door at nine o’clock.

She opened the door, trying to suppress her annoyance, and Xie Qingci rushed in to hug her.

"Morning, sis."

"...Morning? I’m still so tired!"

He picked her up and walked inside. "I’ll keep you company."

He came over directly in his loungewear, shedding his coat, ready to slip under the covers for another nap. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

But as long as he was around, just sleeping was never an option. As soon as they lay down, he started chasing her for kisses. After he had his fill, he buried his head in the crook of her neck, nuzzling and breathing lightly, which entirely deprived Yu Xia of any sleepiness.

Men and women are different. Yu Xia hadn’t been with him for a month, and their passionate kisses last night happened in a moment of heated impulse. She still wasn’t quite used to such intimacy.

Meanwhile, Xie Qingci, probably worn thin over the past month, was more enthusiastic than ever about kissing and hugging, unwilling to let go of her even for a moment.

She placed her hand on his shoulder and looked up at him. "I really need to sleep, not with you."

Xie Qingci paused.

"Sleeping with me is fine too. Want to?"

"...Get out!"

At this critical moment, Xie Qingci dared not argue with her and was ruthlessly chased out of the bedroom.

Standing in the living room, he took a deep breath, suppressing his desire to be close to her, and picked up his phone to order takeout.

Yu Xia really did sleep until noon, only to be scooped out of bed by Xie Qingci. Still groggy, she found herself nestled in his arms as they sat on the edge of the bed and shared a deep kiss.

He continued kissing her dizzy, then carried her to the bathroom.

Brushing teeth, washing face, combing hair, changing clothes, Xie Qingci was happily involved in everything she did.

Finally, she sat back on the sink, and Xie Qingci, taking advantage of his height, rested his arms on either side of the counter, gazing into her eyes as he tenderly invaded her lips and tongue.

No matter how aloof Yu Xia tried to be, she couldn’t help but be intrigued. Draping her arms over his shoulders, she playfully engaged with him occasionally, enjoying his sometimes gentle and sometimes fierce affection.

Kissing is such an ambiguous thing, an unspoken intimacy above friendship, a signal of passionate excitement for lovers. Men find pleasure in this act, women find fulfillment.

Overall, it’s a feast of mutual joy.

After much kissing and cuddling, the sun was high, and sunlight streamed through the window, onto Yu Xia, making the intangible warmth appear palpable.

She pushed Xie Qingci away, tilting her head to rest on him, breathing heavily, squinting at the beautiful weather outside, and muttering:

"My lips are numb again."

Xie Qingci lingered at her lips and cheeks for a moment before lifting his head, brushing aside her long hair from her neck, caressing the fair skin, and carrying her out.

There was nothing to eat at home. After ordering breakfast, Xie Qingci had also bought groceries and snacks to be delivered.

But that was a couple of hours ago; when Yu Xia came out, she only saw a clean and tidy living room, a fridge full of groceries, and a pot in the kitchen still steaming with soup.

She was surprised, her eyes wide as she looked around, lifting the pot lid to see chicken soup inside. Turning to ask him, "Are you the legendary Tianluo Girl?"

Also known as a househusband-type boyfriend.

Xie Qingci served the porridge warmed in another pot, saying:

"You slept a long time, and I didn’t know what to do, so I made some soup. Have some porridge first; the chicken soup needs to stew for another hour."

She sat at the dining table with a spoon, waiting for the Tianluo Girl to serve the steamed dumplings.

"What’s the filling?"

"Pork and lotus root. Do you still like the millet pumpkin porridge? The corn porridge from that place was sold out, so I got this instead."

He placed the steamed dumplings on a dish and pushed them in front of her.

Yu Xia thought he might have trouble reaching them, so she was going to push them to the center, but to her surprise, Xie Qingci wiped his hands with a wet napkin and walked over to sit beside her.

She twirled her spoon a couple of times, asking, "What are you doing?"

He bluntly asked, "Can I hold you while we eat?"

"...That’s a very bad habit, can cause indigestion." She tried to keep it in the realm of normalcy.

Seeing his somewhat disappointed expression, resembling his pitiful look when he had a fever on the set before, she couldn’t help but say, "Just a hug, and then focus on eating, okay?"

Eating while being held is a scenario you only see in cheesy CEO dramas. It’s something she couldn’t imagine doing. Even saying such placating words made her feel a bit queasy.

Xie Qingci still looked a bit down, but he nodded in agreement, then picked her up to sit on his lap, like a pendant draped on him.

"Are you still mad at me?" he asked quietly, his voice carrying a hint of dejection, "I feel like you’re not indulging me as much anymore; can we not go back to how we were a month ago?"

"..."

Five minutes later.

Yu Xia shamefully opened her mouth to eat the steamed dumpling Xie Qingci fed her.

Sitting on Xie Qingci’s lap like an oversized teddy bear, she hooked her hands around his neck, boneless as a snake, being cared for as if she were paralyzed from the neck down.

"The porridge is getting cold, have some more?"

He fed the spoon to her lips, eyes focused on her as she drank the porridge.

Opening her mouth, her lips and tongue brushed against the edge of the porcelain spoon as the golden millet pumpkin porridge moistened her lips and slipped into her mouth.

Yu Xia ate nervously, feeling as if she weren’t swallowing porridge or eating dumplings, but consuming his flesh.

"Is that enough? Have you gotten addicted to feeding?"

Xie Qingci put the spoon down. "Are you full?"

"Yes, if I eat more, there’ll be nothing left of me."

He nodded, pushing the bowls and dishes aside slightly.

Yu Xia thought he was going to pick her up, so she cooperatively tightened her arms around his neck, but he instead cupped her to nuzzle.

Her exclamations and weak protests were subdued, as he, like a hunter surveying his territory, pressed his marks on her inch by inch with kisses.

The spring sun was shining brightly, the pot in the kitchen gently bubbling with steam, while the two people at the dining table reunited in affectionate embrace, fully expressing their love.

When He arrived, Yu Xia was already so overwhelmed by the series of heated kisses that she was dizzy and weak, barely able to stand.

Nervously, she tidied her clothes and hair, patted her cheeks, smiled, and opened the door, leaving just enough space to peek through, greeting him warmly.

"Good afternoon, He, is there something you need? Mei, you’re here too."

Mei glanced at He, then whispered, "Sis, did you forget? There’s a shoot tomorrow, and we need to review the script today. Also, the contract for the Variety Show needs your signature."

Yu Xia paused; she almost really had forgotten.

"Oh, I remembered, but why bother you to bring it by, a phone call and I could’ve gone to the company myself."

He replied sarcastically, "No need, how could you find the time? Doing lip enhancements at home takes so much of it. Mei, just look; these half-baked cosmetic surgeries are no good, making her lips look like she ate two pounds of hot chili peppers."

Yu Xia: "..."

Mei struggled to hold back her laughter. "Yes, it’s really not quite right."
