The next day, Hei Chuan Chi Yin appeared at the rehearsal venue again, much to everyone’s relief.
"I’m really sorry, I’ll work twice as hard!"
Hei Chuan Chi Yin ca back with even more determination than before, and seeing her not slacking off despite taking a few days off, the rehearsal returned to normal.
Well, at least on the surface, it seed that way.
But to Arima Kana, it was a different story.
"Ah, Xiao Ai, I want to practice this scene again..."
Watching Hei Chuan Chi Yin approach Duanmu Huai enthusiastically with a script in hand, Arima Kana frowned slightly, showing a strange expression.
"It’s really weird."
"Weird? What’s weird about it?"
Jichuan Dahui, who was acting with her, asked curiously.
"Don’t you think Hei Chuan is getting a bit too close to Xiao Ai after coming back? Sure, they have to play sisters, and they have a lot of scenes together, but constantly sticking together isn’t right!"
"I think it’s fine, it’s just a sign that girls have a good relationship."
"It’s definitely not that simple!"
Seeing he couldn’t convince Jichuan Dahui, Arima Kana rolled his eyes helplessly, biting his lip, and continued watching from the sidelines. Not just during practice, in the past few days, Hei Chuan Chi Yin was always getting close to Duanmu Huai, even in the office. In the past, they only greeted each other in passing, but now she not only greets Duanmu in the office, she even invites Duanmu to dinner and shopping, even if Duanmu doesn’t really want to go, she’ll change tactics... Tactics?
Wait, could this woman be interested in that sort of thing!
Thinking of this, Arima Kana felt a chill down his spine.
No, I must warn Xiao Ai about this. She’s so carefree in her relationships, if she’s not careful, she’ll be taken advantage of without even realizing it!
Soon, with practice over for the day, Duanmu Huai was about to head ho, and that’s when Hei Chuan Chi Yin approached.
"Xiao Ai, do you want to have dinner together?"
"Hmm... today... let see..."
Duanmu Huai picked up his phone and checked his ssages. Ruby was going to a handshake event, and Keiko was taking care of Ruby... looks like having dinner together tonight wasn’t happening.
"Then..."
"Xiao Ai."
Just then, Arima Kana suddenly appeared from the side, casually inserting himself between Duanmu Huai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin.
"I have sothing to discuss with you, do you have so ti?"
"Oh, yes, I do."
"Then let’s go."
As he spoke, Arima Kana playfully clung to Duanmu Huai’s arm, while giving a smug look at Hei Chuan Chi Yin, who just stood there silently staring at her.
But Arima Kana didn’t care at all about this level of hostility.
After all, she had very important things to do!
"... you think Hei Chuan Chi Yin isn’t acting normal?"
Sitting in the café, Duanmu Huai stirred his coffee while looking at Arima Kana in confusion.
"Yeah, don’t you think so?"
"No, I think she’s been quite normal since she ca back, her acting hasn’t had any issues, her performance coordination is quite on point, what’s the problem?"
"It’s not about her performance, don’t you think Hei Chuan Chi Yin has been very close to you lately?"
As she spoke, Arima Kana started counting on her fingers.
"Specifically inviting you to lunch and dinner..."
"It’s just having als together."
"Waiting for you to finish practice to go ho together..."
"It’s just the distance to the station."
"She greets you first now when entering the office, then the director, she used to greet the director first!"
"Uh... maybe because I was lying on the sofa closer to the door?"
"Bringing you water every day!"
"..."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned, while Arima Kana looked at him triumphantly.
"See? I’m not wrong!"
"No... how should I say this, it’s a bit creepy."
"Yes, yes, you’re getting scared too?"
"No, I ant you..."
Looking at Arima Kana, Duanmu Huai was at a loss for words.
"I didn’t realize you were so concerned about Hei Chuan Chi Yin, the things you’re saying, soone who doesn’t usually pay attention to her wouldn’t notice, even I didn’t?"
"Ugh...!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, Arima Kana blushed.
"It’s not like I’m especially paying attention to that annoying person! But those adults always make us do things together, so even if I don’t want to, I still notice! By the way, I heard from Ruby that you went to her place to take care of her? Did sothing happen?"
"Even if sothing did happen, it should be fine, we’re all girls, nothing serious would co of it."
Duanmu Huai yawned, while Arima Kana paused for a mont, then slapped the table hard.
"Seriously, I’m worried about you!"
"Worried Hei Chuan Chi Yin would push down? Do you think she could do that?"
"Well..."
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Arima Kana suddenly recalled how she effortlessly lifted the White Ghost weapon with one hand — it’s sothing the strongest male employees struggled to lift even with two hands!
Co to think of it, even if Hei Chuan Chi Yin has the intention, she probably wouldn’t have the guts.
Arima Kana figured Duanmu Huai could probably lift Hei Chuan Chi Yin with one hand easily too.
"That’s true."
