Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 343: Heartwarming Brotherhood

For the sake of his teammates, Song Xi could not run at all.

In the end, Xie Qingci escorted him to the basin of water, where he sat on a low stool and lowered his noble head.

Yu Xia held a stainless steel cup, scooping water to pour over his hair while giving him a pep talk.

"Why run away? This is actually quite an enjoyment. Look at this service—Xie Qingci is rubbing your head, and I’m pouring water over it. We promise to wash away all your worries and troubles from the day."

Song Xi: "...Yu Xia, you poured water into my ear."

"Oh, oh, oh, sorry, I’ll focus more."

She gestured for Xie Qingci to start, and he pumped some shampoo onto Song Xi’s head, giving it a perfunctory and disdainful two rubs.

Yu Xia, having nothing to do, lazily quipped, "Hey, be gentle. What if there are some fake hair pieces or hairline powder, and you rub it all away?"

Then she smiled and asked, "Song Xi, are you wearing any fake hair pieces? If so, we’ll be more careful."

Song Xi, with his head lowered, grunted, "No, I don’t."

"Well then, it’s good, seems like you haven’t gone bald prematurely. Ah, this hairstyle is ruined, once washed, nothing remains... What hairstyle do you want? After washing, I can style it for you, like a center part? A two-eight split? A slicked-back look? Oh, do we have hair gel here?"

The last question was directed at the staff, her tone full of eager anticipation.

Song Xi had a bad feeling, squinting his eyes slightly as he lifted his head: "No, no..."

But Xie Qingci pushed his head back down.

"All ready for more water."

Yu Xia: "Here we go, here we go!"

[Congratulations, Song Xi, on enjoying a free VIP hair washing service worth 888, hahahahahahahaha]

[Seeing it like this, Xie Qingci and Song Xi seem to get along well. Why do some people say they’re not on good terms? This looks quite harmonious, joking around like this.]

[Brother, your hair-washing technique needs some improvement; you almost washed Song Xi’s head away.]

[The moment my team spirit burns brightly! The captain and vice-captain’s hair washing camaraderie!]

[If you two opened a hair salon, you’d be complained about until you went out of business.]

[Xie Qingci standing in front of Yu Xia, wuwuwuwuwu]

[No need for Xie Qingci; I think Yu Xia and Lan Hui are great together, brilliant playboy predecessor × cute and innocent newcomer]

[For the sake of protecting their teammates, the former brothers had to turn against each other, wuwuwu, what a tragic human BE]

[Such a touching brotherly bond, I’m going to push #XieQingciSongXiBrotherlyBond to the top]

Regarding this trending topic pushed up by the fans, the two involved were completely unaware, otherwise, they probably wouldn’t interact so lightly.

Cheerfully finishing washing Song Xi’s hair, Xie Qingci draped a towel over his head and gave it two brisk rubs, then Yu Xia held up a comb, smiling as she asked:

"What kind of hairstyle would you like to have?"

Song Xi reached for the gold-rimmed glasses set aside and put them on, responding helplessly, "...Just the usual, normal."

"Okay then." She maintained excellent service attitude, ready to comb twice, caught a glimpse of Song Xi’s smiling lips, and handed the wooden comb to Xie Qingci instead.

"You go ahead, as part of the same team, it’s easier for you."

Receiving the wooden comb, Xie Qingci moved closer, the smile on Song Xi’s lips vanished.

"You lead the way, sister," Xie Qingci said.

Yu Xia pulled Lan Hui over to whisper a few words, informing him, "Give him a pageboy cut, style two strands of hair in the front."

Song Xi gritted his teeth and let them have their way.

The boy’s hair was short, and it dried half the way quickly, no fear of catching a cold from being damp.

Song Xi’s new hairstyle was fixed in place, and the staff even brought a mirror for him to see, quietly commenting, "Not bad at all."

Yu Xia also thought it looked pretty good, this type of bangs made Song Xi appear very docile and soft.

Like a fluffy dog just finishing its wash routine, going out to throw away the trash.

She glanced a few more times, recalling the times when Xie Qingci was tidy like this.

The memories hitting her, she realized that despite having slept together for so long, she rarely saw Xie Qingci in such a state.

Tidy, gentle, homely.

The post-grooming hours, she was usually still asleep, and if not, she was cuddled in his arms, her reading scripts while he read books, those cozy moments she almost never intentionally looked at his domestic side.

Beside her, a piercing gaze seemed to melt into reality, Yu Xia instinctively looked away, laughing as she gave Xie Qingci’s skill a five-star rating.

"Master Xie’s technique is not bad. Song Xi, if you ever want such a hairstyle again, you could ask him to be your Tony."

Song Xi chuckled begrudgingly.

Only if he were impaired would he seek Xie Qingci’s hairstyling.

Lan Hui sidled over and asked them, "Was this your task? It’s completed?"

Yu Xia switched to a sincere smile, "That’s right. Initially, it was quite hard, but with you around, it significantly lowered the difficulty. Thank you, if we end up being first, half of the glory on our victory medal goes to you!"

Lan Hui: "..." Not happy at all.

With gloomy faces, the two walked out, while the two remained cheerfully claiming the third checkpoint clue.

This indicates that human joys and sorrows are not the same.

Leaving the second checkpoint, Yu Xia and Xie Qingci immediately set off in search of the third checkpoint.

With a small speaker at the waist occasionally malfunctioning and singing folk songs at the top of its voice, they ran the whole way, the songs trailing from one side of the base to the other.

Luckily, the music changed, unclear which piece indicated each group could really have rounded them up.

The third checkpoint wasn’t in the historical costume area, instead in the Republican Era area.

However, even passersby A walking down the street wore traditional costumes. To more smoothly blend into the crowd as passersby B, Yu Xia borrowed two outer garments from the costumes and draped them over themselves.

When moving, they seemed dazzling like mosquito nets in the wind.

It’s just that the quality wasn’t great, presumably ten bucks for three pieces wholesale, walking through the crowd led to static buildup, and their outer garments "stuck" together, separating them caused crackling sounds.

Running through streets and alleys, they inevitably rubbed and brushed against each other, causing the garments to cling together multiple times.

Every time, it was Xie Qingci who noticed and pulled them apart, resulting in the garment hems tangling in mid-air before finally separating when far enough apart.

Yu Xia couldn’t tell if he did it on purpose, clearly, a simple tug of the hand could solve it, yet he kept probing the distance making sure the camera captured everything clearly.

But every time she suspiciously glanced at him, he responded with an innocent and confused expression, even asking, "Do you have something you want to say?"

After several instances, she eventually tied knots on both sides of the garment, letting them hang at her sides, regardless of Xie Qingci’s garments rubbing up and statically clinging, hers never got caught again.

Behind the camera, Xie Qingci gave her an aggrieved look, nearly making Yu Xia burst out in laughter.

Such small actions were genuinely adorable.
