Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 342: You Really Are Awesome

The destructive power of jealousy, once condoned, is astounding.

Yu Xia felt as though the place where Xie Qingci bit her hand was almost blooming with flowers, her skin tingled and felt strangely burning. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Fortunately, he still knew some boundaries, didn’t linger too long, and soon let go of her hand, bringing silence to the room.

The other two groups were sound asleep, unaware of the situation in the corner.

The first thing Yu Xia did when she woke up the next day was check the condition of her wrist.

There were no marks on the back of her hand, but a faint bruise was on the inside of her wrist, exactly at the place where the pulse is felt in traditional Chinese medicine, and she could clearly feel her pulse beating when she touched it with her fingers.

With a calm expression, she rubbed her wrist, letting her arm hang naturally so no one could see the small red mark.

Today, they were headed to the second location, and everyone went their separate ways near the tavern.

Xie Qingci, who had been up to mischief last night, now stood obediently beside her, smiling.

"While wandering yesterday, I figured out where the second location is. Should we go there directly, sister?"

Yu Xia cooperated by giving two fake laughs, "Sure, you’re really amazing."

The film base was only so large; they had almost covered it all the previous day, making today’s journey easy.

But the production team had anticipated this, so the small speaker that hadn’t done much yesterday started malfunctioning intermittently today.

On a distance of several hundred meters, the broken device attached to Yu Xia and Xie Qingci’s waists shrieked three or four times.

Each time with different tones, catching them off guard, before they could recover from one surprise, another began.

With other groups not fully dispersed either, the base was engulfed in various wailing and howling sounds during the brief half-hour.

Yu Xia’s ears were almost deafened by the noise from the broken speaker at her waist, as she covered her ears and sprinted with Xie Qingci along the road.

Carrying this thing was like carrying a beehive, with a swarm of "bees" following them fiercely, making it impossible for them to stop, let alone rush directly into the location.

Only when the little speaker paused did they have a chance to stop and hide in some corner to catch their breath.

This episode’s distance might be shorter than last episode’s wilderness, but the running was no less, and Yu Xia could already feel the soreness in her thighs.

Finally reaching a hiding spot near the location, she caught her breath and cautiously peeked out.

Several burly men in black were still wandering the streets, looking around as they walked.

"They look just like debt collectors," she whispered, "How are we supposed to get inside the location? We don’t even know if it can protect us inside."

If they were caught during the task selection, it would be no use crying.

She spoke close to Xie Qingci, her rapid breathing causing her words to break, with her exhale louder than her speech.

His ear twitched uncontrollably, yet his expression remained calm and composed, "Let’s wait a bit, it’s best to ensure they don’t see us go in."

Their strategy was cautious, but others weren’t.

While waiting, out of nowhere, Song Xi and Lan Hui rushed straight to the second location.

Yu Xia immediately leaned out and said gravely, "They’re ahead of us, surely aiming for the Fast Forward Card."

Their advantage was about to be overturned.

"Don’t worry," Xie Qingci pressed down on her shoulder, "We can choose the card drawing task, and might turn the tables. Didn’t you mention before? The fast-forward task for this episode is supposed to be difficult, they might not complete it."

If they can’t finish the fast-forward task, they would have to stay and select a normal task again, wasting a lot of time.

They stayed in place waiting, with other group members running over one after another, attracting the pursuers outside.

The two took the opportunity to sprint into the location.

It was a rental center, normal inside, beyond a door was the second location, and Song Xi and Lan Hui had already chosen their task.

Yu Xia looked out from the door and exchanged glances with the two who had turned around for two seconds, asking, "Did you pick the fast-forward task?"

Song Xi held a task card between his fingers, waved it in front of her, and said with a chuckle, "Yes, you’re a bit late."

"Don’t get too happy yet, we suspect this episode’s fast-forward task is hard, you might not complete it," Xie Qingci said while stepping in.

Song Xi kept a neutral expression, maintaining brotherly rapport.

"It’s okay, no pain no gain. To get such a bug card, we must go through unusual difficulties; we’re prepared. What task are you choosing, card draw?"

While heading towards the check-in machine, Yu Xia said, "You guess?"

Xie Qingci said a couple more sentences, "Are you planning to stay here and watch us pick before leaving? The pursuers outside are still patrolling."

Lan Hui nudged Song Xi’s hand, softly saying, "Shall we go first?"

Song Xi stayed still, watching Yu Xia go over and fiddle with the check-in machine.

After watching for a few seconds, Xie Qingci stepped in between them, blocking the view of the check-in machine’s screen, naturally also hiding Yu Xia.

"You really want to watch?"

The two faced each other, their gazes meeting briefly. One was confident, the other had no choice but to relent.

Song Xi habitually pushed his glasses, then stepped back and said, "Alright, I won’t look. You take your time picking."

Then he was ready to leave with Lan Hui.

Yet hadn’t stepped out when Yu Xia suddenly said, "Song Xi, don’t leave yet."

He hesitated, stopping and looking back at her.

Xie Qingci also turned to look at her, frowning.

She pointed at the task content on the screen, signaling Xie Qingci to take a glance.

After he quickly scanned it, she patted his shoulder, "Bring him over."

Song Xi and Lan Hui realized they definitely needed someone to help complete the task and immediately tried to run away.

Xie Qingci was faster than them, rushed over, grabbing Song Xi’s hand, and supporting the wall with the other, forcibly dragging him back.

While also pulling in the weak and helpless Lan Hui, shutting the door last.

Eyes beaming with smiles, Yu Xia asked the staff to prepare props, leaning against the check-in machine with arms crossed, delightfully sizing up Song Xi.

The look in her eyes like she was about to strip him made his breathing accelerate; he couldn’t bear to make eye contact.

Like a ghost, Xie Qingci called out to Yu Xia.

"Sister."

Yu Xia kept her gaze fixed on Song Xi’s face, refraining from looking elsewhere, clicking her tongue, she said,

"Isn’t it a coincidence? Our task just happens to need an opponent’s help. If we hadn’t run into you, we would have had to find a way to catch someone else from outside."

Just as the staff brought some props and placed them on a chair.

A basin, a comb, a bottle of shampoo.

Song Xi’s eyelids twitched at the sight, stepping back two steps, trying to escape again.

This time Yu Xia directly grabbed Lan Hui, trapping him beside her as a hostage.

"Run if you want, we’ll keep your comrade. Originally I considered washing a girl’s hair would be inconvenient, as having so much and long hair always wet makes it easy to get sick, so I wanted you. Too bad, you don’t cooperate."

She also touched Lan Hui’s round head, with meaningful implications said, "Guess I’ll have to torment you then."
