CHAPTER 95: CHAPTER 95: SCHEMING GREEN TEA YOUNGER BROTHER

Yu Xia thought that after they broke up, they were cleanly severed.

She wouldn’t appear in front of him, and he wouldn’t disturb her anymore. They would gradually forget each other like this.

In fact, he did well, indeed not contacting her. But she didn’t know that she hadn’t completely withdrawn from his life.

She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Xie Qingci sent another message.

[Xie Qingci: That jewelry set suits you well. How about I buy it for you to wear in the future?]

Yu Xia looked up at the ceiling, her eyes glistening with light.

Then she exhaled, pressed her lips together and said, "Then you have to earn well after debuting. That brand’s jewelry isn’t cheap."

[Xie Qingci: Sure, I’ll work hard to earn money]

Earn money to support the family.

"You passed by the mall, are you there for an ad shoot or something?" she asked.

[Xie Qingci: Ad shoot]

[Xie Qingci: So many ads]

Rarely hearing him complain, she couldn’t help but chuckle softly: "You don’t have rehearsal tasks this week, shooting ads is good. But it’s all short-term. When you debut, Changhui will get endorsements for you, and that’s the real deal. Some brands are high-end, during holidays there are brand events, and magazines — there will also be events."

[Xie Qingci: Like the brand party you attended at the end of last year?]

She paused again.

"You watched it?"

Guys rarely watch such celebrity galas, and with his personality, it’s even more unlikely.

[Xie Qingci: There’s a shopping plaza outside the school, and I saw it on the outdoor big screen]

[Xie Qingci: That red dress looked great on you]

Yu Xia still clearly remembered that red carpet show, wearing a haute couture elser dress, a fiery red velvet waist-cinching gown, with a patchwork block neckline, and a seam highlighting the curve.

The pictures at the time were highly praised by the fashion industry. Many bloggers commented, her name was bustling online for days.

Thanks to the dress, she later mingled slightly better in the fashion circle.

Unexpectedly, he also went to watch.

Seeing his compliment, she couldn’t help but think, if she stood in front of him wearing that haute couture dress back then...

[Xie Qingci: I’ve never seen you walk the red carpet in person, hope I have the chance soon]

Yu Xia snapped back to reality.

"After you debut, there’ll be many opportunities to walk the red carpet. But you guys walk as a group, I usually walk with the film crew or partners, if there’s no work — just alone."

So even if it’s the same red carpet, there’s likely no chance to stand together.

[Xie Qingci: Then under what circumstances can I walk with you?]

He seems genuinely unsure, so Yu Xia explained: "Like the movie or TV award red carpets with the cast, unless we’re in the same project... You want to act?"

He always asks targeted questions, never asking unnecessary things.

[Xie Qingci: Yes, after discussing with Changhui, the plan is for me to go the movie route]

[Xie Qingci: Probably after debut, I’ll gradually start taking small roles]

She frowned: "Normally after debut, you’d first perform on many stages, like programs at various evening events, endorsements, variety shows. Will you balance or separate from teammates?"

[Xie Qingci: Most likely balance both]

Her frown deepened.

"That’ll be exhausting, even more than now."

[Xie Qingci: Changhui doesn’t want a mediocre second-tier idol, they naturally incline more towards film routes]

Shu Ran mainly takes TV dramas, Lin Lian synchronizes film and TV dramas, while he’s more towards movies.

Of course, it’s not absolute. More accurately, his route is action movies. If there are such TV dramas, they’ll be considered.

He detailed everything to her meticulously.

Yu Xia seriously thought about it, thinking Changhui’s plan was actually pretty good.

"So because you’re skilled in combat? That’s why they want you in action films, right? There’s indeed a shortage of such actors; many use body doubles."

Saying this, she was still a bit skeptical.

"But would the first film be like this? Idols acting mostly start with idol dramas, like campus or ancient idol dramas."

[Xie Qingci: Not sure, they’re still planning the details]

Changhui Entertainment’s strength speaks for itself. As long as they’re willing to plan for him attentively, it won’t be bad.

She felt assured, checking the time, almost midnight, she hurried him.

"Alright, go to sleep."

[Xie Qingci: Can I have a goodnight?]

Just reminiscing, Yu Xia still felt guilty towards him. Goodnight? Even a peaceful night can be given.

"Goodnight," she softened her voice suddenly, gently said, "Sleep well, see you tomorrow."

[Xie Qingci: See you tomorrow]

Chat ended.

Xie Qingci lifted the blanket, controlling his breathing to slowly calm the heat.

In the darkness, he looked at the ceiling for a while, suddenly curled his lips into a smile.

Though he can’t hug or kiss now, such contact is necessary, isn’t it?

Before she truly decides to return to his side, he wants her to love him a little more.

Love him a little more.

Just a little more.

——

Wednesday.

It rained late last night, on the way to the base, the buildings and plants alike were washed away of the dreary fatigue, showing off their refreshed attire.

Yu Xia received He Ci’s notification in the car, the paparazzi who caught her dining with her brother couldn’t hold back and leaked it an hour ago.

At the same time, several marketing accounts re-posted, and the tag was quite eye-catching.

#Yu Xia fearlessly dates despite the reporters#

The leak included phrases like "talking intimately," "holding hands," "cautiously entering the private room," "going home together."

Speechless.

The story spun quickly from the pictures.

"Your scandal came at the right time, Fan Chu’s crew wants to buy some news to cover their issue, just wait, your matter will ferment."

Yu Xia was eating a sandwich, swallowed and asked, "It’s not surprising for me to get rumored scandals. Using my news as a distraction, would the netizens buy it? They’re not that dumb."

"You’re just one of them," He Ci said, "The contestant from the selection show, Pei Lu, his matter’s up again, started getting attacked last night, the news says it’s beginning to backfire."

She knowingly raised her brows: "I was just waiting for when he’d be hit with his own stones, today it happened, huh. Besides this, there must be other news, right?"

"Same old, switching them out with claims of affairs and backstabbing rules."

This is the time those people willingly spend money to buy trending searches.

Yu Xia understood, had He Ci and Mei watch the public opinion trends, hurriedly finished her sandwich before the program group’s base arrived, opened the door, and got off.

Pei Lu probably can’t join the games today, who’ll replace him then? Ning Yunchao?
