Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 259: Only Kissing Allowed

Actually, Yu Xia has some properties herself.

Generally, when celebrities earn money, they use it to buy real estate, take shares in companies, open restaurants, or invest in such activities as standard practice. Even if they suddenly have no roles to play or money in the future, they can still get by for a few years relying on these.

She comforted Wei Yaoyao, "You’ve only debuted for half a year, so living in poor conditions is normal. Maybe two years later when I come back to stay at a hotel, you’ll be the owner."

Wei Yaoyao, already full of despair, weakly replied with an "oh".

At this moment, Xie Qingci finished checking and sat beside Wei Yaoyao.

"Shall we discuss how to complete that task?"

Yu Xia nodded, "Sure, come on, Wei Yaoyao, join the discussion as well. You are the sponsor, and the success of the task depends on the intensity of your investment."

"...I don’t have big money to invest in a company, so I’ll just spend a little money to invest in your human-dog task, right?"

"Since you called it small money, we won’t be polite about it." Yu Xia brought up the map on his phone and zoomed in to show them.

"The first step to completing the task, we need a bicycle, a dog, and then find a road that isn’t too crowded with people, and relatively flat, with at least a one-kilometer smooth path."

Xie Qingci said, "We can rent a bicycle, the difficult part is what to do about the dog. Do any of you know anyone who has a well-behaved dog?"

A well-behaved dog...

Yu Xia suddenly thought of someone.

"I have a candidate."

"Who?"

She slowly glanced at Xie Qingci and seriously said, "Yuan Wang, he knows a dog that’s very obedient."

Xie Qingci looked at her, "Oh?"

"Previously, wasn’t it rumored that I had an affair with Yuan Wang? The story started because the dog chased him, and then I saved him from the dog’s mouth. The dog is very beautiful, trained to understand simple commands."

Wei Yaoyao found it a bit hard to comprehend, "Getting chased by a dog can spark rumors? Is this the legendary ’hero saves the beauty’?"

"That was ’hero saves the dog’. Don’t be surprised, even buying clothes online and wearing the same as someone you don’t know can lead to rumors of a three-year secret marriage. Let’s get back on topic."

The three heads crowded together, staring at the city map on the phone screen.

"We have a solution for the bicycle and the dog, now we need to find a road. Where would be suitable for us to take the dog on the road?"

Xie Qingci enlarged the map with two fingers, found a nearby route, and said, "It’s best if it’s close, so it’s convenient for him to act with us."

Wei Yaoyao: "...Then how about that street three blocks over, it has more old residents, isn’t a main thoroughfare, the road isn’t wide, there aren’t many cars, and there are plenty of elderly people walking their dogs, so you won’t seem out of place at least."

"Great, that’s roughly decided. Tomorrow morning at eight, we’ll meet on that street."

Yu Xia extended her hand, signaling them to advance and retreat together. Xie Qingci immediately placed his hand over the back of hers, then pulled over Wei Yaoyao’s hesitant hand to rest on top of his own.

"The task will definitely be successful, success, success!"

After sending Wei Yaoyao off, Xie Qingci also returned to his room, and Yu Xia enjoyed a comfortable bath.

Having run around so much during the day and fallen on the cobblestones, her calves were tight and her feet sore, so she sat on the sofa to massage herself after coming out of the bathroom.

This too was a tiring task, after a few presses, her hands became sore, she’d rest for a bit, and then continue only to tire again shortly after.

Just as she was about to give up, there was a sudden knock on the door, three slow knocks followed by a "sister".

This self-introduced voice did not make Yu Xia lower her guard, she tightened the belt of her bathrobe and seriously opened the door.

"What’s up? Not sleeping yet?"

Xie Qingci walked in unconcerned, "I came to see if you needed any help."

"No need, the facilities here are complete and the doors and windows are tightly shut, it’s very safe and intelligent, I’m about to sleep."

After she finished, she added a subtle threat, "Didn’t sleep well last night, that’s why I couldn’t walk properly and fell down during the day. I very much desire a night of quiet and comfortable sleep."

Xie Qingci sat on the sofa, looking at her with a faint smile on his lips, "Want me to give you a massage, help you have a comfortable night’s sleep, don’t you?"

"..." She was silent for two seconds, then closed the door and walked over, "Alright, I want it."

"Does it still hurt where you fell during the day?" he asked softly, pulling her waist slightly to hold her in his arms.

The two were now tightly pressed together, Xie Qingci buried his head in her neck, taking a deep breath, and gave a satisfied sigh, saying in a low voice:

"I miss you so much."

It’s not about being unable to meet, as long as he wasn’t this close to having her, he’d miss her even when they were together every moment.

Yu Xia already fully understood the meaning of his words, and suddenly became a bit soft at heart, besides...besides, she also missed his embrace a little.

She reached out to embrace him back, her fingers threading through his slightly damp hair, planting a kiss on his forehead.

"It still hurts a bit," she whispered, "and my legs are so tired."

Xie Qingci wrapped her into a new position, letting her sit sideways with her knees on his thigh, his hand stroking her calf.

"I’ll massage them for you, is it heavy?"

Yu Xia wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning into his embrace, shaking her head.

So his hand began to slowly massage her calf, the warmth of his palm caressing her slightly cool skin, providing comfort to both.

It was unclear if he was truly focused on the massage, his hand stayed on her calf, kneading it back and forth like dough, unable to let go as if it were a toy.

Yu Xia kicked his wrist, "You’re making it red."

Perhaps lying in a wide embrace makes one feel dependently indulgent, she naturally turned into the little woman type, her words carrying a limp softness.

Xie Qingci’s breath grew heavier, his hand moved to her other leg, massaging while asking, "I want to kiss you, is that okay?"

She bit her lip, and made him promise first, "Just kiss."

"Alright, just kiss, nothing else."

Like a wolf constrained to hold back its craving, he slowly and inescapably marked his cherished territory once more.

The air conditioner softly hummed, blowing warm air, as the two kissed in the quiet room, the sound of their rapid breathing was clearly audible.

Xie Qingci’s left hand continued massaging her calf, while his right hand firmly clasped her shoulder as if to embed her into his body.

Yu Xia seemed like a little swallow with its wings nearly broken, quivering within his embrace, her slender ankle resting on his left forearm, foot arch stretched tight.

She seemed to gradually embrace such a deadly deep kiss, it felt like accepting his passionate and intense love, stifling, humid, sticky, yet mesmerizing.

She adored this wholehearted, strong, and steadfast emotional outpouring, it gave her immense satisfaction.

So she didn’t mind giving a little back.

Yu Xia reached forward to press a hand on his chest, feeling the pounding heartbeat inside, nibbling his lip.

"I really like you, Xie Qingci."
