Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 260: It Has Always Been Only You

The result of saying that sentence was getting more vicious bullying from Xie Qingci.

Almost breaking the promise, Yu Xia panted and kicked her legs.

"Keep massaging~"

Xie Qingci’s breath was almost scorching her. After calming himself for a moment, he obediently continued massaging.

"Do your soles hurt?" His voice was so hoarse it was unrecognizable.

"It hurts," she imitated a pitiful tone, "It hurts so much, it’s aching and painful, it’s killing me."

Xie Qingci chuckled softly, seemingly enjoying her act.

"How do you want me to do it?"

She traced circles on his chest with her fingers, scratching, and then whispered: "You can’t leave until you’ve massaged me comfortably."

"Just that?"

Her nail pressed straight down into his skin: "Seems like you’re eager for me to make demands, massage away."

A slightly rough palm slid to her ankle, pinching gently.

"Sister, what’s the standard for comfortable?" He deliberately whispered in her ear, knowing she couldn’t resist his breathing sounds.

He pinched twice, then said, "Your ankles are too thin, pathetically fragile. Is it really not dangerous wearing high heels?"

Yu Xia felt this sentence had some other implication, definitely not just discussing whether a woman’s ankles are thin.

Yet she was willing to follow along with this flirtatious, ambiguous talk.

"Female celebrities need to be exquisite head to toe, thin ankles are just one aspect, not to mention wearing high heels with evening gowns, didn’t you watch the last mechanical girl outfit on the red carpet intently? High heels are part of the evening gown."

"Did I watch intently?" His lips brushed her ear, speaking as if to bite her earlobe, "I was thinking about how to..."

The last two words were almost just breath, Yu Xia barely heard them and immediately covered his mouth with her hand.

"Alright, don’t speak anymore."

Xie Qingci’s eyes were full of affection, he kissed her palm, mumbling something.

Though it was unlikely to be something proper, Yu Xia hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist letting go, ready to listen clearly.

Then she heard him say, "I like it when you shine on the red carpet, but next time, can you not wear such revealing dresses?"

A typical possessive outburst was something he would say.

She lazily slid her finger along his jawline, saying nonchalantly: "We’ll see, if the haute couture from the brands is more beautiful even if revealing, then I’ll choose the more beautiful one."

Xie Qingci wasn’t surprised to hear such a response.

He asked, "What if I said I mind?"

"No woman should live up to a man’s expectations. If you mind, it means you don’t respect the profession of an artist enough."

He lowered his eyes, seemingly lost for a moment, then asked, "When will you ever lean towards me?"

Yu Xia hooked one hand around his neck, the other hand gently brushing his face, her fingers teasing his eyelashes, successfully making him blink and dodge before she happily said:

"I already lean towards you. But this inclination is towards you as a person, not every matter in life. Like kissing—"

She tipped her head up to peck his lip: "I’ve only kissed you like this, and will probably only have this experience with you. As for more pleasurable things... it’s only you, Xie Qingci, always only you."

Xie Qingci couldn’t handle her verbal teasing and kissed her deeply again.

"Sister, darling, Yu Xia, I love you, I love you."

Every time he rambled her names like this, no matter the order, it always felt like her soul was forced into resonance.

But...

"Love is love, but don’t think of breaking promises. Hands off," Yu Xia panted, giving him a sidelong glance. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Didn’t you say I could only leave after massaging until you were comfortable? Since you won’t provide a comfortable standard, I’ll go by my understanding. Is it comfortable, hmm?"

"..." She couldn’t bring herself to say she was uncomfortable.

Thus, the rare opportunity to sleep early was forcibly dragged into the midnight hours.

Afterwards, Yu Xia was already drowsily asleep, while Xie Qingci still held her, gently massaging her calves.

And the soles, where there were several acupoints to press, Xie Qingci tossed aside the obstructing clothes, knelt at the foot of the bed, lifting her foot onto his knee, then pressed down with slight force.

Perhaps the soreness was strong, Yu Xia reflexively kicked.

His reaction was fast, instinctively lifting his head, avoiding the swift kick.

Yet he didn’t expect a second kick, landing squarely on his chest, causing him to topple off the bed as the hotel bed wasn’t large.

A muffled groan echoed in the room, Yu Xia dazedly opened her eyes to glance at the ceiling, seeing nothing odd, muttered something, quickly falling back to sleep peacefully.

Xie Qingci was so amused he wanted to laugh.

He crawled up from the floor, picked up his clothes, quickly put them on, then walked over to kiss her forehead, watching her relaxed brow, silently looked for a while, then softly chuckled:

"I just have to accept it."

...

The next day, Yu Xia yawningly left the door, holding a meat bun bought with Xie Qingci’s "pocket money," sitting on the arranged old street waiting for Wei Yaoyao.

Her complexion was rosy, her eyes watery after yawning, looking quite bright, as if she’d engaged in stamina-charging activities all night.

Xie Qingci handed her a cup of soy milk, saying: "The boss said it’s handmade, try it."

She swallowed the bun, took a sip, and it indeed tasted rich and thick.

"How much money do you have left on you?"

Xie Qingci: "None left."

She then dug in her bag, counting out twenty yuan for him.

"Here, pocket money shouldn’t run out, let me know if it does."

After all, it would be used to buy her food.

Xie Qingci pocketed the money, placed his backpack between them, then also sat down on the low bench at the small stall.

Narrow road sides were lined with plane trees, some peeling, appearing mottled, tender new leaves swaying in the wind.

They happened to sit under a tree, slightly stronger winds would rustle the leaves, producing a cascading sound. Elderly folks walked dogs, and the dogs, upon seeing fallen leaves, would excitedly jump and leap at them.

With those twenty yuan, Xie Qingci ordered two more buns. As Yu Xia looked up at the plane tree, he was lowering his head, splitting buns in halves, placing half of each bun on Yu Xia’s plate.

This way, she could taste every bun flavor, without worrying about finishing them all.

"Hey, why don’t we borrow the dogs from the grandpas?"

Xie Qingci, without raising his head: "Weren’t we supposed to ask Yuan Wang for help?"

"I’ve thought it through, expecting Yuan Wang to be reliable is like expecting a pig to climb trees."

Xie Qingci: "......"
