Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 380: Strong Men’s Hula Dance

She went out to ask insider Lan Hui.

"What’s going on?"

Lan Hui said mysteriously, "They’re having a good chat and thinking about taking the next step."

"That fast?" She was a bit surprised, "Didn’t feel like anything before, and now a dip in the seawater sparks feelings?"

"..." Why does this sound like catching athlete’s foot? Lan Hui mumbled quietly, "Before, everyone was exhausted and each group was separated, so there wasn’t a chance to interact like this. Today, they’re staying together, so naturally someone caught someone else’s eye."

It seems the entertainment industry is bold and open, like underground romances are prolonged, making her think stars are a passionless group doomed to love.

The two of them sat outside the tent, watching the couple wandering around the same spot on the beach five, six, seven, eight times, discussing together.

Yu Xia: "Is it fun walking around like this? The sand within those three meters must be stamped down solid."

Lan Hui: "Maybe lovers aren’t sensitive to the outside world? They might consider this roundabout way as fashionable."

Yu Xia was still reflective: "They really dare to think and act, do they genuinely believe everyone can keep a secret?"

Lan Hui glanced at her and muttered, "They’re not idol-type, one’s a behind-the-scenes singer, another’s a not-so-popular actor. They can fall in love openly, without needing to hide it."

Yu Xia paused.

"True, not relying on fan benefits nor subjected to fan opinions."

Lan Hui moved a bit closer, whispering, "Actually, Yu Xia, you can date too. Seems like your fans aren’t against you having a relationship."

With talent and connections, a strong career focus; it’s clear dating wouldn’t hinder her future, finding a boyfriend wouldn’t be a problem, fans would probably just criticize if the boyfriend isn’t good enough.

And didn’t the previous two boyfriends receive fan approval?

Yu Xia looked at her with a subtle smile: "What are you trying to say?"

"Well, actually, I’m quite into the sister-brother pairing."

She asked leisurely, "Which brother?"

Lan Hui widened her eyes: "...are there other brothers?"

Oh right, there’s Song Xi too.

Thinking about her teammate, Lan Hui sighed.

"Although someone else is not bad, one can’t help but compare. When I compare, I can only say sorry."

After saying this, Lan Hui was curious enough to ask, "So, is there a possibility that my pairing will come true?"

Yu Xia looked again at the couple wandering back and forth, without answering her.

After a long time, Lan Hui finally heard a relaxed, smiling response.

"Hmm."

...

The next day, everyone was playing games lazily.

Those with vastly fewer points didn’t strive for victory, those with plenty of points didn’t want to risk choosing fast-paced tasks, they weren’t even eager to complete tasks to capture flags.

So Tan decided to stay inside the tent for half the day, not going out. Yu Xia learned about their plan and felt tempted, wanting to be a couch potato until the game’s end.

Unfortunately, the director’s team foresaw her plans, specially sending staff to brainwash her, encouraging her to work hard, even providing lots of household items as motivation.

"All these items can only be acquired through points or completing tasks, think about it, even if you want to lie down, should it be in a good environment?"

Yu Xia looked at the director speechlessly for a long while, pointing at the bathrobe set and a pot asking, "What kind of task is it to get these two?"

The director said directly, "Well, congratulations to Yu Xia’s team for choosing the bathrobe set and pot, the task content is—"

"Hey, hey, I was just asking! I haven’t decided yet!"

The director flipped the task card directly to her: "Once you see it, it’s chosen, you buy it whether you want it or not."

"...There’s forced buying and selling?" They accused her of being a schemer, but birds of a feather flock together.

She grabbed the task card, read through it quickly, finding it wasn’t too hard, all were entertainment tasks.

It just required Xie Qingci to make a little sacrifice.

She kept the card, turning to Xie Qingci saying, "Brother—"

Xie Qingci immediately felt uneasy, eyelids twitching, "What? Let me see."

"No need, I’ll describe it to you."

She carefully chosen her words, starting with an inspiring opening, followed by points, ending with future visions. Xie Qingci listened patiently, grasping the key point.

"You’re saying I need to wear a grass skirt and dance?"

Yu Xia chuckled awkwardly, "That’s indeed a bit difficult for you. How about I bargain on your behalf?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

She turned to ask the director, "Can we group buy or pay in installments?"

Director: "???"

Is there group buying or installment plans for this kind of stuff?

"Group buying means inviting another team to join, installments mean wearing the grass skirt today, dancing tomorrow, what do you think? Mainly, the brother is grown up, self-esteem is strong, can’t be too much."

Persuading both parties, as if the task had nothing to do with her, she seemed like a mere intermediary.

The director thought for two seconds, reluctantly agreeing to the group buying request.

Then Xie Qingci pulled Song Xi over, telling him a great thing was about to happen, a pie from the sky was going to fall on him.

Song Xi wouldn’t believe it, of course.

No matter what the truth really was, merely Xie Qingci’s enthusiastic demeanor was too unusual; he struggled fiercely, yet some things are inevitable.

Yu Xia and Lan Hui reached consensus, directly sold them out.

So during ceasefire time, after Yu Xia’s masterful persuasion, everyone set aside their sweaty fatigue in interest to sit on the beach, cheering and clapping as the two men danced in grass skirts.

To liven up the atmosphere, Yu Xia even invited several hunters to join in; the man’s muscles, the rippling grass skirts, the stiff expressions.

Yu Xia laughed so hard her eyes virtually disappeared, saying if she had money, she’d throw two bucks at them.

Barrage was filled with people sending rockets.

[Spectacular, magnificent! Turns out I love watching coerced performances too]

[Song Xi: After years of dance lessons, I wish I’d never learned]

[I realized something, Yu Xia and Lan Hui, these two teammates laugh the most exaggeratedly]

[Xie Qingci’s face is green, hahaha]

[Only the hunters dance energetically, clearly voluntarily, even shake their hips, oh my mother/ wide-eyed emoji.jpg]

[This choreography makes no sense, hunters are shirtless, why are Xie Qingci and Song Xi still in clothes? All brothers, why guard against us?]

[I secretly activated VIP, can you all let me see some shirtless action?/My gaze is as pure as reading Buddhist scriptures.jpg]

[...]

Xie Qingci danced in a green grass skirt, sitting in the tent’s doorway feeling shutdown.

Yu Xia walked over laughing, meeting his wistful gaze, extending her palm.

"This is for you, something pretty from digging sand yesterday."

The next phrase she didn’t voice, mouthing: "A reward for listening."

Xie Qingci accepted, touching it briefly, still gazing wistfully at her.

"Is this all? My grass skirt dance is this cheap?"
