Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself

Chapter 598: Lolicon

Her gaze was obvious, and Yang Luan was stuttering by the end of her sentence, blushing as she asked:"Xiaxia, why are you staring at me? Am I talking too much?"

Yu Xia chuckled, patting her hair, thinking it was indeed very soft, then said, "Of course not, I just think you’re really cute."

Yang Luan’s blush deepened. She awkwardly touched her face and couldn’t help but glance at her, hesitantly asking, "Really?"

"Really, your skin is fair and smooth, your eyes are beautiful, and when you smile, you’re like... a Barbie doll. Especially when you blush, it’s too cute. If I were a guy, I’d like a girl like you."

Her speech slowed down, and her gaze was sincere. Yang Luan looked up and found herself caught in her deep eyes.

It was as if she was confessing affectionately to her.

Now, not only her face was red, but her ears and neck were also turning crimson. Yang Luan covered her face and fell onto the sofa, moaning softly.

Yu Xia thought, now even cuter. Can Xie Qingci really remain indifferent to this little cutie? Is he blind?

No wonder netizens always like playing the "mom fan" role. Some cute-looking celebrities really have an advantage. Both men and women like them. No wonder so many newcomers in showbiz like to go for the cute route to attract "mom fans."

While the two were interacting, the outcast Xie Qingci and Wan Qian were sitting together, chatting.

Mostly it was Wan Qian talking.

"Look, your girlfriend is almost getting herself a girlfriend over there."

She knew Yang Luan too, but Yang Luan didn’t really have a good temperament. Simply put, she hadn’t yet outgrown her rebellious phase, yet she had never treated them as nicely as she did Yu Xia today.

Xie Qingci remained silent, watching Yu Xia and Yang Luan, but never got a glance from her. She seemed absorbed in teasing the cute girl.

After a while, Wan Qian added, "She’s already gotten hands-on. Yang Luan is really the happiest fangirl in history. Are you setting her up with a girlfriend? You’re just a bridge for them to meet."

Wan Lin joined in, more shy compared to his sister, and quietly said, "Qingci, you’re really impressive. Suddenly you became a celebrity and suddenly got involved with such a famous actress. When I saw your name online, I couldn’t believe it."

His words were full of admiration. Wan Qian glanced at him and said, "Are you the male version of Yang Luan? She chases celebrities, you chase a life mentor."

Wan Lin: "... Can’t I? Qingci is just amazing. I’m still at an age where I’ll be punished for dating, and Qingci has already brought his girlfriend home to meet his parents."

Wan Qian: "Got it, you want to date. I should tell..."

"Sister, sister, sister! No no no!"

One was about to tattle and the other was hastily trying to stop her, tugging and pulling until they bumped into Xie Qingci, who simply stood up and left.

Wan Lin: "... Did we disturb him? Should I move to another spot?"

Wan Qian: "He’s gone to fight for his girlfriend’s attention, nothing to do with you."

The siblings spoke quietly, so the chatting parents didn’t hear them clearly, but they noticed Xie Qingci’s sudden movement. He looked like he was going to catch someone cheating, so conspicuous.

Xie Qingci walked over to Yu Xia and nodded towards Yang Luan.

"Wan Qian said she needs you for something, and there’s a bunch of grapes waiting for you over there."

Yang Luan was busy interacting and flirting with her idol, with no time for whatever Wan Qian or grapes, so she waved her hand offhandedly, "Got it."

Then she continued her sweet conversation with Yu Xia.

Xie Qingci watched her back, expressionless, and then smoothly shifted his gaze to Yu Xia.

Yu Xia blinked at him, noticing how he just stood there in the middle drawing attention, with the chatting elders on both sides watching and not planning to leave, so she had to pat Yang Luan’s hand, saying:

"How about you go over and have some grapes?"

Yang Luan paused, finally looking directly at the tall Xie Qingci standing in front of her.

Not sure what she imagined, she frowned and whispered to Yu Xia, "Actually, I’m a sole admirer."

So she believed, "My idol is stunning and should wander among flowers without stopping for any man," and was not pleased with this childhood friend who had publicly pursued and won over her idol.

She sighed, "Why did you choose him?"

Yu Xia glanced at Xie Qingci’s expression, holding back a laugh, "Because he’s good-looking."

Yang Luan: "True enough."

Then she reluctantly stood up to give up her seat, not even glancing at Xie Qingci when she passed by him.

When she sat between Wan Qian and Wan Lin, she asked, "Did he say you had something for me?"

Wan Qian: "Who? Who needs you for something?"

Yang Luan: "Didn’t you need me? No grapes either?"

The two exchanged a glance.

Wan Qian: "Aha, Xie Qingci is so manipulative."

Yang Luan: "What a schemer! I only said a few words, didn’t even get a signature!"

Wan Lin couldn’t help defending his life idol, "Qingci just wants to be with his girlfriend. It just shows how much they love each other. Don’t you think that makes him cool..."

Wan Qian: "I knew watching too many teen idol dramas during mom’s pregnancy would have consequences."

Wan Lin: "..."

Elsewhere.

Xie Qingci sat down, resting his arm on the sofa’s backrest, effectively wrapping Yu Xia within his embrace.

"What were you two talking about just now?"

Yu Xia’s head touched his arm, and in front of so many elders, she couldn’t just lean in and snuggle, so she had to sit up straight.

She didn’t answer, but instead asked, "I heard you and Yang Luan were childhood buddies for a while. Didn’t you ever like her? She’s so cute."

This question seemed odd even without thinking.

His girlfriend questioning whether he’d liked someone else before, but why add "she’s so cute" at the end? It seemed more like she couldn’t understand why he didn’t like Yang Luan rather than being jealous.

He paused for two seconds and curiously asked, "Why should I like her?"

"Because you’re a lolita-con. People who can name Barbie dolls surely love cute and soft girls, right?"

Xie Qingci chuckled, amused by his own exasperation.

"Just because she’s cute, I should like her? Then shouldn’t I be in love with Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit? Also, I’m not a lolita-con."

Yu Xia shrugged, "Even if you vehemently deny it, you still are."

"I’m a Yu Xia-con."

Yu Xia: "..."

A bit embarrassing, with so many people around.

She coughed lightly, waving her hand, "Alright, alright, you aren’t. But she’s really cute, you know, her face reddens like a pink sticky rice cake."

It was so accurate, Xie Qingci wondered if she was thinking about taking a bite.

But he didn’t follow her gaze to look at Yang Luan; instead, he stared directly at her.

"The lolita-con is you, right? You spoke to her more affectionately than to me."

She coughed again, "She’s my fan, of course, I should be a little more gentle with her."

"It’s said that when celebrities date fans, they always sugarcoat it like this."

Yu Xia: "..."
