Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 223: You Like Yu Xia?!

A large number of fans flooded into the live broadcast room.

The news that Yu Xia and Yu Zhi appeared in the same interview made former CP fans and drama fans extremely excited.

During the time actors are filming until the drama airs, there’s usually a period when CPs engage. During that time, the male and female leads appear more ambiguous.

Not to mention, Yu Zhi and Yu Xia were actually dating at that time, and their joint engagement attracted many CP fans.

However, once the drama finished airing, this kind of engagement stopped. Coincidentally, they broke up not long after, and there were no more opportunities for them to be together. They hadn’t publicly appeared together for two or three years.

Now, they’re unexpectedly engaging together again. Even though they’re no longer in their previous relationship, CP fans and drama fans are still overjoyed and the CP super topic that was almost sunk quickly rose to the top.

Coincidentally, at the top of the super topic ranking was Xie Qingci’s super topic.

Some netizens specifically took a screenshot of this chaotic ranking.

It was a bit of an eyesore.

When Xie Qingci saw it, he didn’t even click it open and just refreshed the page.

The latest Weibo post that loaded was a video of Yu Xia and Yu Zhi being interviewed together.

When Wei Yaoyao leaned over, Xie Qingci had just put his phone away.

"Is it starting?"

Today, he came with Ning Yunchao to support Wei Yaoyao in her variety show appearance.

"No," Wei Yaoyao plopped down next to him and asked, seeing him pinching his brows, "Didn’t you sleep well?"

He nodded, "I’ve been a bit busy lately."

Ning Yunchao also leaned weakly against the wall, "I also only slept for three hours yesterday, my eyes are getting blurry."

Wei Yaoyao patted their shoulders, "Take it easy, don’t end up like Song Xi. He ended up in the hospital again from exhaustion recently."

Xie Qingci didn’t react, but Ning Yunchao looked at him and added, "His company is eager to make money off him to recoup costs and has arranged lots of work for him, which isn’t beneficial for his future development."

Wei Yaoyao leaned back with her hands behind her head and said, "The company has always been that way, right? Even Pei Lu got dragged into filming. I heard it’s already his second movie, and who knows if he even studied acting. When it airs, if the criticism outweighs the praise, it’ll be really counterproductive."

At this moment, there was genuine envy for Xie Qingci, as Changhui Entertainment is an exceptional company.

Ning Yunchao asked him, "Do you plan to act?"

"Sure," Wei Yaoyao said freely, "I’m leaning more towards comedy, which suits me better. Unlike you guys, I don’t have as much work, and there aren’t many resources available, so I have to drop the unsuitable ones. The remaining ones are both useful and enjoyable to me, so it’s not bad, not as exhausting as you all."

Ning Yunchao sighed, "I’ve been experiencing writer’s block with songwriting lately, worried someone will approach me for collaboration when I can’t come up with anything. So recently, I avoid answering calls from others."

Wei Yaoyao consoled him a bit, then asked Xie Qingci, "And you, how have you been lately?"

Xie Qingci leaned on his leg, spinning his phone, lost in thought.

Upon hearing the question, he suddenly spoke about past events, "I was exhausted and even ended up in the hospital some time ago."

Wei Yaoyao and Ning Yunchao widened their eyes, "When was that?"

"After the Spring Festival. I was still filming in the crew, and had a high fever for half a month."

Wei Yaoyao blurted out, "And you’re still alive?"

Ning Yunchao looked at him speechlessly.

Wei Yaoyao coughed, "Was it after you and Song Xi had a fight?"

He didn’t deny it, just "hmm"ed.

The rest of the team didn’t know why they fought back then and were very curious.

Wei Yaoyao knew a bit but couldn’t guess what Song Xi said that made Xie Qingci resort to violence.

Wei Yaoyao asked in a low voice, "So, what happened between you two?"

Xie Qingci maintained his usual expression and said, "He said Sister Yu Xia could never like me, and he admitted he liked Sister Yu Xia."

Ning Yunchao: "!"

Ning Yunchao had never associated the two with Yu Xia before, and this gossip involving a third person left him stunned with dark circles tightening for a few seconds.

"You, you all... you and Sister Yu Xia... so you also like..."

"Yes, I like Sister Yu Xia." Xie Qingci nodded naturally, acknowledging.

Ning Yunchao inhaled sharply, "So your trio is deliberate?"

"No, it was a coincidence."

Ning Yunchao rubbed his chest and looked around before lowering his voice to ask, "How did you come to like Sister Yu Xia? You hardly met before, right?"

Wei Yaoyao leaned over to whisper, "Love at first sight?"

Xie Qingci unreservedly confessed, "Yes."

Ning Yunchao: "When did that happen?"

"When I was eighteen."

Ning Yunchao and Wei Yaoyao: "Ha?!"

He didn’t mind their astonishment and continued, "I want to be open about being with her. That variety show is an opportunity, and if it’s well-received, I’ll need your help."

Wei Yaoyao quickly asked, "Help with what? How do we help?"

"I’ll tell you then."

Ning Yunchao still couldn’t fully comprehend. Seeing Xie Qingci so calm, it was clear he had long decided, and persuasion would be futile.

But he couldn’t help but ask, "Have you really thought it through? You’re just starting out, and pursuing a relationship could face fan backlash, potentially losing a large portion of your fans and subsequent resources. Have you really considered it?"

Xie Qingci: "I’ve never been clearer."

"Everyone makes different choices. Song Xi wants to seize the opportunity to debut as an idol, you want to make the most of the path your parents paved, and Wei Yaoyao wants to simply take on work she enjoys, making life better than before. As for me, it’s all for her."

Ning Yunchao remained speechless.

Staff ahead were calling them, so Wei Yaoyao stood up, raising her hand in the air.

Xie Qingci placed his hand on hers, and Ning Yunchao sighed and joined in.

"Wishing you success."

"Wishing us all our desires fulfilled."

"Thank you."

"No need for such words among brothers."

After half a month of hustle, the variety show "Infinite Escape" is about to start.

As the first domestic escape survival variety show, it has been anticipated by the public since it was announced.

Some wish that the production team manages it well, making it the second major hit show after that explosive variety show from two years ago.

What does it take to be a major hit?

High viewership, high buzz, high popularity of guests, widespread national discussion, and every episode containing memorable highlights or quotes that become classic.

The production team makes the show a hit through the guests, the guests gain fame through the show, and the investors and platform receive high returns with high payoffs, resulting in a win-win.

Hit shows are rare to come by, and this variety show is heavily anticipated by netizens.

The day before the show’s broadcast, the guest teams were required to connect and discuss what to bring. The production team sent staff to film the preparation stages as a teaser prequel.

When the production team arrived at Yu Xia’s residence, she and Xie Qingci had been on the phone for quite a while.
