Chapter 541: Love Makes People Blind
When they were exchanging views on relationships, Yu Xia had just gotten into a car leaving the event site.The first thing she did was take out her phone to check messages, then replied with a smile.
He didn’t even need to think to know who she was chatting with.
"You haven’t seen, have you? You and Wan Ze are trending now. Though the comments are pretty normal, everyone’s guessing if you’re collaborating. But considering Xie Qingci tends to turn into Lin Daiyu, I think you should coax him a little."
Turn into Lin Daiyu? Mourning flowers? Or being sassy and complaining?
His descriptions are always so novel, and the more you think about it, the more sense it makes...
Yu Xia shook her head, lowered her head, and sent a message to Xie Qingci, indeed with some coaxing intention.
[Babe, have you eaten yet?]
[Babe, I really miss you so much]
[Babe, I did meet up with Wan Ze tonight for a chat, but it was all about you. I said you’re a very talented newcomer]
Indeed, they were talking about him, even if the topic was a bit off, but for a man, saying some nice words to coax is very much necessary.
Xie Qingci replied instantly: [I miss you too.]
Xie Qingci: [I know, I don’t mind. But Mr. Yang insisted on having a heart-to-heart talk, saying I’m petty and my values are problematic, sis, do you think there’s really something wrong with me?]
She certainly couldn’t say yes, Yu Xia immediately started typing furiously.
[Who says so? I just like you this way, don’t mind what others say.]
Xie Qingci: [Then I’m relieved]
Xie Qingci: [I told Mr. Yang exactly that, and he told us to quickly lock things down and not go messing with others]
Yu Xia: [...]
Xie Qingci: [Babe, you’re really adorable.]
One could imagine if he said this in person, he’d definitely chuckle first, then look at her with an ambiguous gaze, staring while saying this.
It feels like a shot straight to the heart.
Yu Xia leaned back, closed her eyes, and rotated her slightly dry eyeballs, letting out a long sigh like an old man smoking.
He: "Just a few words with him can elevate your soul, huh?"
When he was single, he had zero tolerance for the pervasive love-struck atmosphere around him, seizing any chance to make a sarcastic comment, almost reflexively.
Before Yu Xia could refute, he smoothly switched the subject as if he hadn’t been the one speaking, raising his phone to read aloud:
"Listen to this, these unethical marketing accounts are coming up with such rubbish titles—#Yu Xia wins Favorite Award before Best Actress at TV Festival#, if not for my six years in primary school I’d stumble over this, what’s the point? Stirring up hype to set you up? People are also criticizing you while they’re at it, saying not to be too sure or you’ll get a slap in the face? What the heck, is this your fault?! This is clearly the marketing accounts’ fault!"
He was about to vent his rage on a small account.
Yu Xia hurriedly stopped him: "Calm down, He, you’ve been through big scenes before, isn’t it normal for small tricks like this to come up now? Don’t get angry, it’s bad for your health."
He Ci widened his eyes: "I’m a man!"
"Well, men can also develop health issues," Mei weakly chimed in, "It’s true."
He Ci: "...I’m not angry, I’ll just look at something else."
Nothing much else to see, either gossip or manipulative PR pieces.
In the end, he could only console himself that this was the chaos before the strong shining moment.
Yu Xia was not focusing on him nor the unethical marketing accounts, she was busy sending sticky messages to Xie Qingci.
Like talking about high heels.
[The shoes are really high, I was genuinely afraid of losing balance on stage]
Xie Qingci: [Maybe try lower heels next time? Flats might work? Some actresses wear flats under long gowns, don’t they?]
Yu Xia: [Then the next day, rumors of me being pregnant would start]
Xie Qingci: [No worries, as long as they say it’s mine]
Yu Xia: [...]
Yu Xia: [Such a grand self-image, why don’t you just ascend to heaven?]
Yu Xia: [Are you still concerned about the last time when a rumor spread that the child was Xi Heng’s?]
It turns out, him having a normal facial expression and heart rate back then was not normal; he was keeping it in mind all along.
Xie Qingci: [I’m allergic to his name, don’t mention him]
Yu Xia: [Tsk, he just asked about you earlier]
Yu Xia: [He asked, where’s your boyfriend? Guess how I answered?]
Xie Qingci: [Oh. So how did you answer?]
Yu Xia: [What else? I immediately repeated, "My boyfriend and I are madly in love, no one is a better match for each other than us. I love him so much I can’t sleep day and night thinking about him." It stunned him immediately]
Xie Qingci: [...]
If that were true, she’d be taken as a lunatic.
Xie Qingci: [So now you’re using exaggerations to coax me?]
Yu Xia smoothly replied: [That’s why they say love is blind]
Xie Qingci probably couldn’t handle this vibe, so he didn’t reply further and directly called over video.
They connected and said nothing, just looked at each other on the screen, and half a minute later burst into laughter inexplicably.
Xie Qingci chuckled: "Where did you learn all this?"
Yu Xia opened her eyes and randomly put the blame on: "From He."
From the front, He Ci: "???"
Xie Qingci then said: "Love indeed makes one blind."
He Ci again: "???"
And after they said those two sentences, they started laughing uncontrollably again, making He Ci’s nape feel cold.
Such an obnoxious couple!
The nanny van quietly drove into the neighborhood shortly after, it was late, and He Ci and Mei were also tired. Yu Xia asked the driver to take them home, while she got off in the dim light, holding her phone as she entered the elevator.
Xie Qingci kept talking, not needing her to respond to every message, just a way to remind others that someone was watching over her.
Only when she safely arrived home did he stop talking, lying beside the camera watching her walk around, change clothes, wash up, and apply a mask.
A girl’s cleansing routine is quite complex. Yu Xia was hopping between rooms, holding the phone like she was filming a nighttime skincare routine, and had to answer the only audience member’s questions.
"What’s this brush used for?"
She: "Body brushing, dry brushing to open up channels."
"Is there highlighter for the body too?"
She: "Isn’t that normal? Some even do makeup all over."
"Are you going to shower?"
She: "Yes."
"Do you want me to pick out pajamas for you? I remember we bought a few sets."
She silently rolled her eyes: "They’re all couple pajamas, and you’re not here. Does it make sense for me to wear them alone?"
"Isn’t there anything else? Like that burgundy one."
"Are you treating me like a shop mannequin? Can’t you just take Wei Yaoyao’s advice and go play dress-up games?"
Xie Qingci lazily replied: "I only dress my own doll, and only look at my own doll."
