Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 382: Baby, Sweetheart, Darling

Song Xi is someone who easily fills in the blanks with what others say, emotionally sensitive and fragile, quick to feel shamed into anger, though he appears a bit more normal on the surface.

Xie Qingci knows his weakness very well.

He’s always been annoyed by his rival who constantly taunts him, and for someone who annoys him, he never shows mercy.

The small conches he had previously obtained from Yu Xia were all thrown in front of Song Xi.

One or two hit his foot, and although the force was light, Song Xi acted as if he’d been dealt a heavy blow, stepping back stiffly.

Xie Qingci said coldly, "This is the last time I’m telling you, stop being attentive to her. Are you giving your things to her too? Just because she’s a bit polite to you, you think you have a chance? See the consequences? You’re just like these things, only to be disliked by her."

Song Xi was breathing heavily, as if his heart was being squeezed.

After a moment, he retorted with a facade of bravery, "And you think you’re safe and sound? Xie Qingci, you’re always so full of yourself, it’s really annoying."

"As long as she likes it, no one else’s dislike matters compared to her liking just once. You think because you can’t get something, others can’t either?"

"Did you really get it?!" Song Xi kicked the conches in front of him, his expression twisted as he yelled at him, "She won’t like you forever. Just like this conch, it might seem liked one moment, but after a while, it becomes annoying when looked at too much! Who do you think you are, can you bind her to you forever?!"

Xie Qingci didn’t even blink.

"Then just watch and see if I can. Whatever she likes, she can only be mine."

A powerless roar of a loser, not worth mentioning, and not worth getting angry over.

Anyway, he has someone to comfort him.

Leaving the dejected Song Xi in that dark place, Xie Qingci returned to the tent alone.

When he passed by Lan Hui, she quietly asked, "He won’t do anything rash being alone there, will he?"

Xie Qingci didn’t stop walking, casually saying, "Then it’s the company putting too much pressure on him, and he’s overwhelmed to the point of committing suicide."

Lan Hui looked at him in horror.

He went straight to Yu Xia’s tent, thinking about how to make her comfort him, and suddenly noticed the clam outside her little bucket had its flesh caught by a crab.

This gave him a rightful reason.

"Sis, your clam is being eaten by a crab."

The tent in front of him immediately opened with a swish.

Yu Xia: "What’s going on?!"

She was busy mediating the conflict between the food supplies, seeing that the crab’s claw couldn’t be pried open, she directly carried the bucket and ran towards the sea.

"Quick, quick, quick, throw this crab away for me!"

Xie Qingci understandably followed up, grabbing the crab along with the nearly doomed clam, and tossed them into the sea.

Yu Xia: "Why did you throw away my clam too?!"

Xie Qingci paused: "I’ll dig you more tomorrow, don’t be mad."

Several heads popped out from the tent area, Tan looked at the others and said, "Did you hear that? You need a little strategy when pursuing someone, you single guys should learn from this."

Whether single or not, they all nodded seriously, thinking that Xie Qingci, though young, certainly knows how to pursue someone.

Xie Qingci, who was being studied, was quietly praying for comfort.

"He just now mocked me, saying I’m like that clam you can’t bear to part with, but still throw away."

Damn it, what kind of talk is this, Song Xi didn’t even see the clam get thrown away, it’s all made up by him!

Yu Xia poked his finger with a razor clam.

"You threw it away yourself."

Xie Qingci turned to look at her, in the dark it was hard to see her expression, but through her tone of voice, he could imagine his pitiful face.

"But I feel bad."

"...There, there, don’t feel bad, you’re my favorite, my one and only darling, okay, don’t believe what those people say, they don’t mean well."

Oh my goodness, this is so cheesy, I can’t take it.

Xie Qingci restrained himself from demanding more, just earnestly made a request: "Then call me something."

Yu Xia: "Xie Qingci."

"That’s not right."

Yu Xia: "Xie Baibai."

"If you don’t want to call me anything, then don’t, I won’t force you."

Yu Xia: "...Darling. Sweetheart. Dear. Is that enough?"

Xie Qingci was satisfied: "Yes, that’s enough, all the unhappiness has turned into happiness."

Yu Xia was both angry and amused, she picked up the bucket and walked back.

They each returned to their tents, the small bucket was again placed outside, Xie Qingci still didn’t forget to say, "I’ll definitely dig more clams for you tomorrow."

Yu Xia nonchalantly waved her hand: "You better remember."

The beach fell silent.

After quite some time, Song Xi finally returned, the staff kept a close watch on him, ensuring his safety before they too could relax and rest.

On the third day of the island survival, Yu Xia’s group and Lan Hui’s group rarely interacted, and Song Xi stopped sticking around in front of them, resulting in the few interactions between Xie Qingci and Song Xi to almost vanish.

Fans noticed something was off.

[What’s going on, why does Song Xi look unhappy? He seems a bit off color.]

[Is it the exploitative company’s fault for working him too hard? There were red lines in his eyes the first day, I’m scared he’ll suddenly collapse on the beach.]

[He’s sun-exposed and tired, can the production team let Song Xi take a break?]

[Didn’t Xie Qingci notice? They’re in the same group, shouldn’t he be concerned?]

[Song Xi’s endurance can’t even match a few of the girls? Lan Hui seems more energetic than him.]

[It seems like not many people communicate with Song Xi, Lan Hui even prefers talking to Yu Xia.]

[They all prefer to flatter Xie Qingci, who wants to side with Song Xi when he’s second place and the company isn’t that supportive.]

[Could it be that Song Xi did something to make everyone reject him? Is Song Xi your second aunt or something that you support him so much?]

[Is it Yu Xia’s problem? She walked right past Song Xi as if she didn’t even see him.]

[Don’t drag your Xia sister, go buy insurance first if you want to take advantage.]

[Always look for reasons in oneself, did the teacher skip teaching you this life lesson?]

[Yu Xia drew a pause card lolol!]

[She’s going back to sleep, my guess.]

[Laughing so hard, Xie Qingci really looks like a clam seller, obediently sitting there washing them.]

[Whoa, I feel like Song Xi always looks at Yu Xia]

[No doubt, Lan Hui often peeks at Yu Xia too, and loves to stick with her]

[Sigh, who wouldn’t love Yu Xia]

Perhaps Song Xi really didn’t perform well that day, after a truce, the director’s team called him over for a chat.

Yu Xia and a few others followed Fang Yuanzhou, learning how to excavate more seafood, not paying attention to Song Xi’s whereabouts.

Xie Qingci also didn’t care, he just followed closely by Yu Xia’s side, watching her dig a hole.

Occasionally giving cautious advice: "Aren’t you digging too deep? There probably isn’t anything down there."

They had already dug half a meter deep, but she was still excitedly shoveling up the sand.

Yu Xia didn’t look up: "You don’t understand, there’s still a small opening here, there must be something!"

Xie Qingci: "...But you’ve already cut off three razor clams."

Yu Xia threw the shovel: "Beep beep beep, you dig then!"

Lan Hui next to them didn’t dare to speak, fearing that even digging a bit slower would involve her, she quickly ducked down and dug fervently.
