Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 440: Dramatic Show

Everyone gathered around to say hello, and after introductions, Yu Xia barely remembered the names.

A couple with smiles on their faces, clearly in a good relationship, called Lin Shuangyin and Mo Yunchu, and two others, also chatting but obviously not a couple, a young man named Liu Ji, an artistic youth, and a girl named Lan Hui, a familiar, cute round-faced girl.

Lan Hui walked over to her with a sweet smile, saying, "Yu Xia, it’s nice to see you again."

Yu Xia also smiled, unable to resist the urge to touch her face, then she picked up her bag, saying, "Let me help you."

Just as she lifted it, Xie Qingci took it from her.

"I’ll do it."

Lan Hui hurriedly thanked him.

Next to her, Zheng Jinjin, who had been smiling constantly, squeezed in and said, "Let me help you with a bag too. I came by myself earlier, and my two bags were so heavy it took me quite an effort to bring them up. My stockings got ripped. You’re lucky to have met us."

Yu Xia paused, followed by looking at her legs, realizing that the sheer stockings indeed had a snag.

Not only her, but others who heard this also subconsciously glanced over.

Zheng Jinjin seemed unaware of the attention she was getting, struggling to lift a bag up the steps, prompting Lan Hui to quickly take the bag back.

"No need, no need, I have enough strength, I can do it myself."

In the end, neither did she do it herself, Xie Qingci and Wang Xuchun stood at the threshold, helping carry their suitcases inside one by one, especially Xie Qingci, who was also carrying a large bag in one hand and effortlessly placed Liu Ji’s suitcase inside.

Zheng Jinjin exclaimed "wow," admiringly looking at Xie Qingci’s arm, "Such strong muscles, I thought that Xie, being from an idol background, would be thinner and have less strength."

Xie... the nickname is strange, Yu Xia and Xie Qingci both paused.

Usually, everyone called Xie Qingci little brother, now there’s a cute girl calling him ’brother’, interesting.

Yu Xia laughed and asked her, "Why do you have this stereotype? Have you seen many idols’ physiques?"

Zheng Jinjin: "Just seen online."

She wanted to say more, but unexpectedly, Xie Qingci impatiently called out to her.

"Sis," he unscrewed a water bottle and handed it to her, "Have some water."

Everyone looked surprised at them.

"Do you usually call each other brother and sister?"

"No, it’s just that he’s used to calling me sis." Her attention was diverted, chatting while drinking water with these strange guests.

At the same time, thinking, the show isn’t just about sweet romance, there might be some dramatic elements.

Outside, there was movement again, and the last two people arrived.

Once everyone was together, they sat in the living room, facing a row of cameras, and the director spoke behind the lens.

"Welcome everyone to ’Walking with You’, I’m sure you’ve basically met everyone else, but since the emotional situations of the six groups of guests vary, from break-up imminent to complete strangers, I’ll give a simple introduction again."

"First, we have Liu Yicheng and Zhou Yu, together for six years, on the brink of breaking up."

Mo Yunchu and Lin Shuangyin, dating for three years, very much in love.

Yu Xia and Xie Qingci, everyone knows they’re in a passionate relationship.

Qian Ling and Ling Yan, above friends but not quite lovers, could step into a relationship at any moment.

Wang Xuchun, Zheng Jinjin, Lan Hui, Liu Ji, these four are new and unattached, although unfamiliar now, during the games they’ll have to pair up with someone of the opposite sex, which might develop into a romance later."

Yu Xia thought to herself, interesting.

Bringing a couple on the brink of breaking up to a romance variety show, is it to rekindle the relationship or quicken the split?

The director observed their varied expressions and continued:

"The rules are simple, every group faces a challenge every three days, pass it and you get a private villa as your home, fail and you’ll have to stay here and sleep dormitory style. Special reminder—members of the same group don’t have to be predetermined couples."

Not a couple? What other situation could have your partner staying with another person for three days?

Yu Xia and Xie Qingci exchanged a glance.

The director continued, "Apart from the main rule, we’ve set up some small games to enhance relationships, like anonymous messages. Every day at nine, everyone can anonymously write a sentence to someone they’re interested in of the opposite sex, put it in a unified envelope, and the next morning we’ll put them in the mailbox outside the house for everyone."

Special reminder—messages are anonymous, can be printed with a printer, and the message can only be seen by the recipient, you can write multiple messages to the same person, and similarly, a person can receive more than one message, once received you can reply."

The guests let out incredulous sounds of "huh".

Zhou Yu’s face changed, barely maintaining a smile, while Liu Yicheng’s expression was unreadable.

Zheng Jinjin continued to smile, and the almost-romantic pair of Qian Ling quickly went to chat with Ling Yan.

Lin Shuangyin and Mo Yunchu, who have been dating for three years, are confident in each other, holding hands after their initial surprise.

Yu Xia thought this has really gone big, then smiled and told Xie Qingci, "Messages handwritten, okay?"

Handwriting can reveal who wrote it, if you use a printer, there’s likely secretive intent.

Xie Qingci nodded obediently, "I’ll only write to you."

"You better."

He then asked, "What about you? You’ll write to me too, handwrite it."

Yu Xia waved her hand, "Don’t worry, even writing one extra word tires me." Who has the mood to write to someone else?

As they whispered, online viewers also expressed their shock at this daring show.

[Whoa, playing with drama?]

[The moment I saw Zhou Yu hit the table, I knew this show had drama written all over it]

[Exciting! Sweet romance and sour drama, isn’t it more interesting than just pure love shows?]

[Unbelievable, hope some couples break up or do these four newbies have some real players?]

[Already foresee the chaos, the show’s crew are geniuses!]

[Talking about sleeping dorm-style, Xie Qingci’s face turned green hahaha]

[Betting that Yu Xia receives more than one message, hehe, love watching jealousy scenes]

[Zheng Jinjin seems interesting, I feel she might be a formidable one]

[Liu Yicheng and Zhou Yu are about to break up, won’t this just speed it up? The crew really have no qualms]

[The above friends not yet lovers pair are likely to break up, if it was truly interesting, they’d have been together long ago, the longer it drags the more variables there are]

[The true playboy settled down, and now watching the birth of new playboys in a playboy-centered show]

[Already starting to feel embarrassed for others, but the more awkward it is the more you want to watch, humans really do have a natural love for drama]

[Fight, fight! / Eyes glowing with excitement, lighting up the sky for miles]
