Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 397: #Yu Xia and Xie Qingci’s Relationship Exposed#
Xie Qingci’s head was spinning. He didn’t even have time to think about which transportation route would be most suitable; he hailed a taxi and headed straight for the destination.
After switching vehicles a few times, the taxi driver refused to go further because it was too far. In the end, he got on an old van heading towards the film crew.
The temperature was rising, and the smell of gasoline in the car was suffocating. He gripped the handrail, pleading with the driver to drive faster.
He couldn’t afford to worry about whether there were paparazzi following him, nor did he care about the consequences of his sudden arrival. He just wanted to see Yu Xia as soon as possible.
Calls went unanswered, messages unreplied. The tension in his mind was like a taut, old rubber band about to snap.
At that moment, Yu Xia was sitting outside a mudbrick house, drinking water with one hand.
Her hair was messy, with dust all over her pants and shoes. Mei carefully added a bit of honey to her water cup.
Luckily, when the wall collapsed, they dodged in time, though they got some scratches from hitting the ground. A doctor was currently disinfecting her hands.
Everyone was busy solving problems. The injured needed to stay for checks, so she stayed too, comforting a young actor who was hiccupping from tears.
After taking a few sips of water, she handed the cup to Mei and asked, "How’s the phone?"
Mei shook her head, "The screen is all shattered."
Knowing Yu Xia wanted to contact Xie Qingci, Mei gave her a discrete wink before suggesting, "Why not use my phone to check?"
It had been two hours already. Although the crew wanted to control the news, paparazzi were everywhere, and the news had already leaked. If Xie Qingci found out, unable to reach her by phone, he’d definitely be worried.
Yu Xia pondered for a moment, then nodded, using Mei’s phone to send a message to He Ci.
She couldn’t remember Xie Qingci’s number, and Mei didn’t have Xie Qingci’s contact either, so she could only delegate this task to He Ci.
After waiting another half an hour, Director Yan Yifei had them move locations and continue shooting another scene, which required them to act startled and chaotic.
Getting injured in the crew wasn’t rare, so continuing work was acceptable. When asked if Yu Xia could keep going, she stood up, moved her arms and legs, and smiled, "No problem."
That’s how actors are. Even if injured during dangerous scenes, they’ll sometimes endure for the performance. Everyone was aiming to make a great show; it made no sense for only her to be delicate and unable to endure.
By the time they filmed until sunset, the crew was finally allowed to eat, and the director released everyone.
Yu Xia had been standing so long that moving was uncomfortable; she almost fell reaching for a lunch box.
Mei quickly ran over to help.
"I went to find you a seat; there’s a bench, and I even found a cushion."
Just as Yu Xia was about to jokingly say it’s not her bottom that hurt but her legs, a gray van suddenly drove onto the location.
Instinctively, she looked up, hearing the van’s door slide open with a swoosh. A tall man emerged, glanced around, and locked eyes with her from a distance.
"It’s Xie Qingci!" Mei exclaimed in a hushed voice, surprised.
Before Yu Xia could react, Xie Qingci was already running toward her, faster and faster, dashing past the astonished crew members and other actors, to embrace her tightly.
The impact was so strong that Yu Xia staggered back two steps before he pulled her close again.
Xie Qingci’s urgent breathing echoed in her ears. He seemed choked with emotion, unable to speak, burying his face in her hair.
Yu Xia parted her lips slightly, momentarily unsure of what to do.
After a while, she tentatively wrapped her arms around his waist, patting his back like comforting a child.
The crew was stunned, wide-eyed, staring at the two of them.
This location, a rural setting from the 70s and 80s, had people crouching by the walls, watching the scene like elders gossiping about neighborhood dramas.
At this moment, Mei slightly spoiled the atmosphere, whispering, "Sister, there’s a paparazzi taking photos; I saw them."
Yu Xia patted Xie Qingci again, turning first to say to Mei, "It’s okay."
Then turning back with a smile, she said, "Well, seems like today is a good day to go public."
Only then did Xie Qingci loosen his hold slightly, stepping back to quickly scan her top to bottom, asking in a low voice, "Are you hurt?"
She shook her head, "No."
Glancing at the people around who were watching them, she took his hand and led him to the spot Mei found, asking, "Want to have lunch together?"
Xie Qingci paused, tightened his grip on her hand, and followed her obediently, "Yes."
They were holding hands! They were holding hands!
Others exchanged glances, a mix of excitement and shock.
Unlike them, the paparazzi who lurked and followed Xie Qingci were even more thrilled, continuously snapping photos of the distant, blurry scene.
Soon, the term with the purple-red "explosive" tag dominated trending searches, followed by several related topics.
