Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself

Chapter 488: Love Songs for Summer

"With you by my side, feeling the summer evening breeze""My love will always be for you, what should I do, it seems I can’t leave anymore"

"I’ve fallen for you, it makes my heart surge with emotion"

The electric guitar couldn’t overshadow his clear voice, with a smile in his eyes, Xie Qingci was especially charming this way, and Yu Xia couldn’t help but blow him a kiss.

Wei Yaoyao led a group of people in a raucous cheer, even holding up a bunch of grilled cauliflower as if it were a bouquet, suggesting she present it to the singing Xie Qingci.

A group of people made way for her, Yu Xia couldn’t stop laughing, and by the time she got to Xie Qingci, a cauliflower floret had fallen off.

Xie Qingci gladly accepted this strange bouquet, and as one song ended, he started another familiar one.

Wei Yaoyao cheered as usual: "Alright, up next is ’Summer Wind!’ If anyone has any song requests, feel free to make them!"

"If Xie Qingci runs out of energy to sing, Yu Xia, remember to give him a kiss to recharge him!"

Zheng Jinjin and Lan Hui joined in the fun, laughing loudly: "Once you say that, he’ll immediately run out of steam!"

Wei Yaoyao: "Looks like everyone knows his tricks, he’ll do anything for a kiss!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yu Xia raised her eyebrows, not feeling shy at all, and actually leaned on Xie Qingci’s shoulder and kissed him.

"This should recharge him now!"

Xie Qingci smiled as he lowered his head, continuing to play the guitar.

A different song began, needing no introduction, with Wei Yaoyao being skilled at teasing, immediately recognizing each song as soon as it started and playfully remarking to Xie Qingci.

"’Suitable Summer Love Song!’ Xie Qingci, you’re so coy! Using this occasion to express your love!"

Xie Qingci acted as if he didn’t hear any of it, focused on his playing and singing.

It just so happened that Zheng Jinjin and the others knew this song too, and everyone joined in singing.

"Want to write you a song"

"A love song suitable for summer"

"Can feel the passion within my heart"

"I’m yours~I’m yours, fulfilling all your expectations~"

Yu Xia flowed with the rhythm, accepting Zheng Jinjin’s invitation for a brief waltz, twirling while holding hands.

In the laughter-filled scene, everyone’s attention began shifting to Yu Xia.

As she spun on tiptoe, her bright and beautiful smile captivated everyone’s attention.

In the crowd, she was always an unmistakably prominent presence.

Xie Qingci watched her, feeling a radiant heat fill his heart.

Up front, BBQ master Wei Yaoyao was overwhelmed by the heat, passing on the task to someone else, carrying a towel on his neck but not willing to rest, taking over Xie Qingci’s job and picking up the electric guitar.

The song he chose was lively, a track everyone was familiar with.

"Next up is ’Dragostea Din Tei!’ Let’s raise our hands together!"

"Ma-ia-hill!"

"Ma-ia-huu!"

"Ma-ia-hoo!"

"Ma-ia-haa!"

He didn’t use the chair for sitting; he stood on it, singing and twisting.

The atmosphere reached a peak, with elementary school kids running over to Wei Yaoyao to sing along loudly, completely out of tune, making everyone laugh heartily.

Outside the open space, villagers gathered with bowls, watching the lively scene, some even dancing along.

While everyone was crowded together dancing, Lan Hui squeezed over, leaning close to Yu Xia’s ear, asking:

"Yu Xia, can you give me Wei Yaoyao’s contact details?"

Yu Xia: "?!"

The sweat from the heat was about to roll back.

"Was your heart reignited by simply BBQing and singing? Did the charcoal go into your heart instead of the grill?"

Lan Hui laughed awkwardly: "I just have a bit of a crush, let’s just chat for now."

Yu Xia, not wanting to act without consulting: "I’ll ask him first when we get back, or I can directly give him your contact information."

"That works~"

With these exchanges, when Yu Xia looked at Wei Yaoyao, standing tall in the crowd, it was as if he carried a golden aura.

The curls bounced up and down without diminishing his charm.

"What did she say to you?" a warm whisper reached her ear.

Xie Qingci made the most of the bustling, excited environment, boldly getting close to her.

Yu Xia snapped back to reality, pushing him away: "I’ll tell you when we get back. Don’t get too close, it’s hot."

"We’re already sweaty. What do you want to eat, I’ll grill it for you."

"No, don’t—t..."

Xie Qingci chuckled, whispering as softly as possible: "You’re so adorable when you talk and tremble."

"...Go away!"

The summer evening revelry lasted until after eight, ending when the sky was completely dark.

They tidied up the area, a group of people laughing and talking as they headed back.

Wei Yaoyao was pulled into reminiscing about familiar hit songs, singing off-key with laughter.

Xie Qingci held onto Yu Xia’s hand tightly, fingers interlocked in a way that made her feel hot, but when she tried to pull away, Xie Qingci held on tighter, even pulling her hand under his shirt to touch his abs.

"Does moving mean you want to feel?"

"Twisting the facts."

"Shh, keep it down, don’t let anyone know you’re secretly taking advantage of me."

"...You’re so shameless," she laughed.

"No face, no gain. Better to lose it."

Under the cover of night, they openly expressed their affection.

Back at the small building, Yu Xia’s focus returned, remembering the task Lan Hui asked her for.

Seeing Wei Yaoyao waving as if he had lived there for eighteen years, stepping into the courtyard, she stopped him, bringing him to the corner for a private chat.

"I have a question for you."

Wei Yaoyao shook his shirt, treating it like a fan: "What? I smell like barbecue, can’t wait to wash up."

"Have you thought about dating recently?"

When the question was asked, even Xie Qingci looked at her in surprise, instinctively blocking the view, lowering their voices.

Wei Yaoyao was stunned, shook his head, replying: "I’m just going with the flow. Do you think everyone is like Xie Qingci, a leading man who suddenly finds love?"

Yu Xia sighed but explained the situation: "So here’s the thing, Lan Hui, the super cute round-faced girl among the guests was drawn to your handsome BBQ stance and wants your contact info. If you agree, I can send you her contact info right now so you both can connect."

"Oh, this—"

Yu Xia thought he might be hesitant or shy.

But Wei Yaoyao scratched his head, revealing a more surprising revelation.

"There’s actually another girl, also cute, I think her name is Zheng Jinjin? She asked me for my contact info too."

Yu Xia’s eyes widened, scanning him up and down.

"Wow, Yaoyao, I didn’t expect you to be so popular, Zheng Jinjin’s quite a sharp and swift expert! None of the guys around here caught her eye."

Wei Yaoyao blinked: "Really? She directly exchanged contact info with me on the spot, definitely... swift and sharp."
