Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself

Chapter 485: Do You Have Any Secret Eccentricities?

Wei Yaoyao is someone very adept at social interactions.The guests gathered in the large house courtyard, and within a few minutes, he mingled among the crowd and got to know everyone.

Moreover, he was particularly popular with the girls. The new female guests greeted him eagerly, it seems they had bonded while riding the tricycle.

Xie Qingci pulled him back, and Yu Xia patiently said, "We’ll need your help for the upcoming room assignment challenge."

"What kind of help? If I can help, I surely will."

"Listen to what the director has to say first."

The director first had the new guests introduce themselves, then talked about the rules of this challenge.

"As everyone knows, most women are more attentive to details than men, noticing subtle differences that others might overlook.

This challenge involves new guests writing down a few of the living habits of the males in each group, those subtle aspects you think others might miss.

Then the production team will expand them to ten, and the women in each group will judge which are real and which are fake. If all are judged correctly, the room assignment remains, if correct ones outnumber the wrong ones, the original grouping continues but they must stay in the big common room, and if there are more incorrect judgments, then men and women will be split forcibly and stay in the common room for subsequent unified assignment.

Because the game is highly subjective, everyone can state specific details to prove their point in case of disputes, and then we’ll determine if it’s correct or not."

Once the rules were announced, the faces of the women changed significantly.

Other women observing their own boyfriends so closely, noticing minor details they hadn’t realized, was inherently annoying. They also have to judge accuracy afterwards, possibly face off in arguments, akin to competing for a man on the spot.

In such a scenario, Yu Xia was quite relaxed.

She looked at Wei Yaoyao with satisfaction, "You’re really timely this time, even if the challenge fails, it’s on me."

Wei Yaoyao was quite troubled, unable to think of any hard-to-notice habits of Xie Qingci.

He straightforwardly asked Xie Qingci, "How about giving me some hints? Do you have any unknown quirks?"

Xie Qingci glanced at him, "No."

"Then the challenge is simple!" He turned back to talk to Yu Xia, "I’ll just write one or two for count, and then let the production team’s additions be all fake. Knowing the ratio, surely won’t lose too badly."

Yu Xia: "Just hope the production team doesn’t have someone specifically observing him, noticing his habits."

"...That’s so creepy! Or Yu Xia, can you secretly tell me some of his..."

Xie Qingci couldn’t take it anymore and pulled him away from Yu Xia.

"You can start writing now."

Wei Yaoyao looked at him knowingly, pouting, "Stingy."

The writing session took quite a bit of time as the production team prompted them to write more and more, and finally, when Wei Yaoyao stood in the designated spot, he opened all his fingers with a distressed expression towards Yu Xia.

"What does he mean by this?" Yu Xia contemplated, "Could it be you have a habit of spreading out ten fingers to press down on others?"

Xie Qingci: "...I don’t. He should be indicating he wrote ten entries."

"That many?!"

The director didn’t allow them more time to communicate, separating them and conducting the challenge in groups one by one.

They were positioned in the middle, Yu Xia sat below, racking her brain to recall Xie Qingci’s every word and deed.

Which would be broadcastable, which wouldn’t, she had to distinguish.

When he asked opinions, he liked to pause before saying "Is it okay?"

When happy, he liked calling her "sis" repeatedly, like a wildcat.

He habitually let her feed him fruit, and always bit into it before kissing her.

When unhappy, he often acted sad with a lowered head and despondent eyes.

What other habits were there?

She couldn’t think of any more.

No idea what Wei Yaoyao wrote down.

If nothing comes to mind, she’ll observe others instead.

Presently, it’s Ling Yan, Qian Ling and his friend’s turn.

The girl mentioned a habit of Qian Ling: "When using the phone with one hand, he likes placing all four fingers blocking the back of the phone, not underneath."

Ling Yan seemed unsure, answered correctly, then both Qian Ling and his friend denied it.

"That’s wrong, you probably didn’t observe closely, when operating the phone with one hand, his little finger clips on the charging port."

Ling Yan awkwardly smiled, "I really didn’t observe so closely, just saw sometimes when he holds the phone for pictures, four fingers on the back."

It truly had an air of a showdown, she listened with great interest.

Soon it was their turn, the three forming a triangular stance, Wei Yaoyao held up a script board showing the first entry.

[He likes to fasten his belt first before putting on his shirt]

Yu Xia squinted subtly.

Thinking carefully, Xie Qingci indeed had this habit. He likes fastening his belt while bare-chested, black leather accentuating his slender waist, whenever seen, she had to praise the "beautiful sight before the wardrobe".

She promptly answered "Yes".

Xie Qingci personally confirmed its truth.

The second entry—

[He only likes eating fruits one bite at a time, like green grapes]

Ah, this question... If fed in a special way by her, he loves eating any fruit.

She hesitated a bit, decided to speak honestly.

"Actually, he doesn’t particularly like fruits, when forced to eat, he prefers one bite-sized ones. But... sometimes, when in the mood, he does enjoy others."

Xie Qingci sitting across smiled profoundly, "That’s true."

Approved again.

Third entry, [When finishing dance moves kneeling, he habitually puts hands behind]

"Where would I know this? He hasn’t performed such moves before me."

Kneeling with both knees, yes, but not dance moves.

She frowned, thought for two seconds, decided it was "Wrong."

Wei Yaoyao applauded her, "Guessing accurately, impressive. When doing that move, his hands either naturally hang or rest on his legs, Song Xi likes placing hands behind more."

Upon hearing Song Xi’s name, Yu Xia became momentarily confused, nearly unable to recall.

Oh, Xie Qingci’s former boy band’s deputy leader.

She didn’t focus much, prompted Wei Yaoyao to flip to the next page.

[He likes bringing a phone into the shower]

Bringing a phone into the bathroom? Doing what? Calling whilst showering? Or using the camera?

Everyone perked up ears, keenly listening to such private life tidbits.

Yu Xia looked at Xie Qingci with a complex expression, "You actually have such a habit?"

Xie Qingci’s expression altered repeatedly, wanting to say no, but he indeed was inseparable from his phone, managing hour-long calls with Yu Xia while showering.

She probably hadn’t noticed this had been ongoing for a while.

His hesitation deepened Yu Xia’s complex expression.

"It’s okay, you’re young, can correct this."

Xie Qingci: "..."
