Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 305: #Xie Qingci Got Too Deep Into Character#

Chapter 305: Chapter 305: #Xie Qingci Got Too Deep Into Character#

It’s not unusual for entertainers to undergo plastic surgery, and it’s even more common to end up looking like an A-list celebrity. Of course, this primarily applies to lesser-known celebrities.

Anyone with a bit of talent would avoid resembling a massively popular star.

Wei Yaoyao hissed.

"He’s really trying to match the level of internet celebrities."

"He’s not an internet celebrity," Ning Yunchao scoffed. "He’s trying to be like Cheng Yiding. Didn’t you see that crowd of people around him? Even though he’s still at the lowest tier, he enjoys top-tier treatment. You’d think he was some big shot hiring a dozen bodyguards and having five or six assistants."

Wei Yaoyao asked Song Xi: "Are all the artists in your company this flamboyant?"

"...No." At least he isn’t.

"You better watch out. I think your company is pretty unique. One day, they might have you do the same thing."

After all, the year-long run of their limited-time group isn’t over yet. If online critics ridicule him, it could affect the others.

Song Xi understood what he meant, glanced around, pulled up his mask, and left.

The other people also went their separate ways, leaving the recording studio, while Wei Yaoyao and Ning Yunchao leisurely walked at the back.

Ning Yunchao said to him in exasperation: "You really can’t keep that mouth of yours shut. Why bring up Yu Xia? Song Xi was about to eat you alive."

"Just teasing him for fun. Don’t you find it amusing how he tries so hard to hide his anger? Before debuting, he used to provoke Xie Qingci like that. I saw it a couple of times. However, Xie Qingci is better at keeping it together, doesn’t seem as mad."

Grinning mischievously, completely unserious, he pushed back his curly hair, which bounced back.

"It’s like you’re avenging Xie Qingci or something. You’re really a lifelong good roommate," Ning Yunchao teased sarcastically.

Wei Yaoyao put his arm around Ning Yunchao’s shoulder, raised an eyebrow: "You’re also my good roommate. If you ever meet someone you like and need my help, I’d put in the same effort. Buddy, are you also in a relationship?"

Ning Yunchao elbowed him: "Get lost. After debuting, my manager switched to someone from my mom’s side. They’re just short of monitoring my phone every day. How would I even have time for a relationship?"

Growing up in the entertainment industry, he knew what happens if an idol dates at this stage. Besides, dating requires meeting a girl he’s interested in, and he doesn’t have the time to interact with girls.

"So, the only one who strayed from the path is Xie Qingci, huh." Wei Yaoyao thought of Yu Xia shining on stage and figured it made sense why Xie Qingci couldn’t wait.

"Chi Qiao and the others seem to want to develop something, since they’ve had great resources this year with many girls around them. But the management team keeps them in check. When they’re no longer controlled, who knows? Also, don’t you have any thoughts?" Ning Yunchao glanced at him sideways.

"What could I think," Wei Yaoyao pouted, "These top-tier debut-for-love stories are for main characters. For ordinary folks like us, it’s not easy to find someone we’re head over heels for. Maybe never in a lifetime."

He shrugged his jacket casually.

"For us, it’s more practical to make money, seize the last few months’ opportunities, and build connections and reputation, just like Yu Xia said. Nothing beats strength and money."

Ning Yunchao nodded in agreement.

Arriving at the spot where they’d go their separate ways to the cars, Ning Yunchao couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked a couple more questions.

"You know a lot about their situation, right? When do you think it’ll become real? I mean, when will Xie Qingci succeed in his pursuit, or maybe even take it up a notch and go public with their relationship?"

Wei Yaoyao said mysteriously: "Who knows, but how long do you think Xie Qingci can hold out?"

Until after the boy group disbands, no longer than that.

Both understood Xie Qingci’s impatience and exchanged a knowing glance.

Ning Yunchao: "If something else happens, maybe it’ll be sooner."

"Who knows."

Unexpectedly, the next day, indeed, something happened.

No, it was two things.

#Xi Heng enters the film industry#

#Insider reveals Xie Qingci likes Yu Xia due to being too absorbed in his role#

The first one pertains to a capitalist’s expansion into the commercial realm, something that would typically go unnoticed on entertainment charts, let alone garner so much attention.

But Xi Heng isn’t just any capitalist; he was Yu Xia’s first love. He even made a brief appearance on a previous show, catching the attention of curious netizens.

People speculated that Xi Heng was still hung up on Yu Xia. Seeing the recent overwhelming news about her and Xie Qingci made him jealous, prompting him to personally enter the entertainment industry to protect her. What an enticing "CEO and glamorous actress" love story it was!

Netizens who shipped the couple disregarded the capitalist nature and dismissed other possibilities, embellishing the event into a pure love story that spread everywhere.

Meanwhile, the hot search indirectly fueled more hope among Xi Heng’s supporters.

Online discussions were relentless.

[Is Xie Qingci really too immersed in his role that he can’t tell reality from fiction? So everything’s fake? / gasps.jpg]

[Didn’t they say he went to see a psychologist? It’s probably true.]

[Wow, no wonder he seemed so deeply in love with Yu Xia. I was wondering why his feelings were so overwhelming, not caring about his future.]

[Do newcomers experience such severe post-filming effects? It’s terrifying, brainwashing themselves into their character’s persona.]

[Fans shipping the couple shouldn’t bother. Ship something real, not fake, like our ex-boyfriend, Mr. Xi.]

[What do you mean? I was just getting into it, only to be told it’s all fake? Just acting?]

[Speechless. My perception of Xie Qingci is shattered. Two days ago, I was boasting on social media that he was the only good guy in the entertainment industry.]

[Earlier it was about being with a sugar mama, now it’s about confusing real feelings with acting? What did this guy do to deserve this?]

[Why does it feel like this is a PR stunt by the production team? Would anyone really be so absorbed in their role to the point of confusion? It’s laughable.]

[The fans of the couple should disband immediately; there’s nothing exciting about male celebrities in the entertainment industry.]

[Ah—Yu Xia’s been played, huh. I thought she was about to fall for Xie Qingci, and it turns out it’s all fake?]

[Not listening, not listening, a frog croaking. I don’t believe playboy Yu Xia would be deceived by fake feelings. She’s the only star I’ve ever idolized. Please, rookie idol, don’t ruin her image as a romance expert in my heart.]

[After seeing Xi Heng all suited and booted, I have little faith in the rookie. Sorry, Xie Qingci. I think she’s likely more suited for a CEO-type.] 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

[Damn, watching the show now has me all confused. Is Xie Qingci really serious about this?]
