Gold Holiday’s aquarium is bustling with people.
Everywhere there are couples on dates and families on outings, leisurely strolling through the aquarium, enjoying the amazing ocean world before them, imrsed in a joyful and pleasant atmosphere.
But there are exceptions.
".........Why do I have to co to the aquarium with you?"
Arima Kana hung her face, looking displeased at Hei Chuan Chi Yin beside her.
"That’s my line... If possible, I wouldn’t want to co to the aquarium with you either."
Hei Chuan Chi Yin snorted softly and didn’t speak.
"But it’s part of business, what can I do......"
"That’s right, it’s just work......"
Arima Kana sighed helplessly. Previously, the two collaborated in shooting a promotional video, and because the promotional video was to be linked with the aquarium, they ca here earlier to observe the situation. That’s why they ca during Golden Week—of course, both were disguised, or this place would’ve turned into a fan et-up scene already.
"Anyway, let’s wander around first. Where should we go? Want to see the dolphin performance?"
Arima Kana flipped through the aquarium’s booklet while asking, and Hei Chuan Chi Yin looked around, then suddenly froze, grabbing Arima Kana.
"Xiao Ai is over there!"
"Huh? How can Xiao Ai possibly be at the aquarium?"
Upon hearing Hei Chuan Chi Yin, Arima Kana also lifted her head to look in the direction Hei Chuan Chi Yin ntioned.
"Where?"
"Over there!"
Hei Chuan Chi Yin spoke while pointing at the figure in front of the fish tank across them. Arima Kana narrowed her eyes to look and then frowned.
"That’s a young man, right?"
"No, that’s Xiao Ai, she’s just disguised."
"How can you tell?"
"Just look at the bone structure and limb proportions, and I can tell."
Upon saying this, Hei Chuan Chi Yin proudly snorted.
"I know Xiao Ai very well."
"Wow...... it feels kinda creepy."
But Arima Kana looked at Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s expression and felt speechless.
"By the way, I think I’ve seen the girl next to Xiao Ai sowhere."
"Really?"
"Oh right, when I went to help Xiao Ai before, she was inside, right? I rember she’s called Banai from the Classical Studies Club."
"Then why is Xiao Ai dressed like this and coming to the aquarium with her?"
"........."
They silently exchanged glances.
"Let’s follow them."
"This seems more interesting than a dolphin show."
Thus, they followed along, then arrived at the aquarium’s cafe, and then the fast food restaurant, and next to the souvenir shop selling limited snacks......
"What exactly are they here for?"
Seeing Banai in front, holding a piece of bread with one hand and eating a squid skewer, and Duanmu Huai beside her holding takoyaki and milk tea, Arima Kana couldn’t help but comnt.
"Normally, wouldn’t you co to the aquarium to see the animals?"
"They are looking too, aren’t they?"
"Watching octopuses while eating takoyaki? What kind of date is this? Is their sanity intact? And they even serve food made from the exhibit animals to visitors? Is this aquarium normal?"
Arima Kana pressed her hat down, bewildered as she comnted. anwhile, Hei Chuan Chi Yin was staring at Duanmu Huai, and reached out to press her cheek, showing a delighted expression.
"But, Xiao Ai’s outfit is really cute, although her protagonist in ’Jintian’ was quite macho, but this cute little boy look seems good too......"
"Hmm, no lie there, Xiao Ai does look cute like an angel when viewed this way, but she usually feels quite different from an angel."
Recalling the lazy image of her sprawled on a sofa at the agency scratching her belly, Arima Kana thought... whatever, not much to say.
"Shall we keep following?"
"Of course!"
Banai evidently didn’t know her date was being stalked; currently, she was giggling, holding her phone, and snapping photos of the sea otter plush in front of her—sothing Duanmu Huai had grabbed for her from the claw machine earlier.
"Hehehe, look how capable my boyfriend is, grabbed such a cute plush for ... he really put in all his effort for , just watching from the side makes my heart race......"
"You wouldn’t feel similar when you went out with Sakura, right?"
Watching Banai giggling while holding her phone, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but ask, recalling the ti they intimately interacted with marine animals, where they fed sea turtles. You could get a cup of shrimp pellets by inserting coins and then feed the turtles.
Initially, things were fine, Duanmu Huai and Banai played as a loving couple feeding turtles at the tank. But when Banai saw the turtles chomping Duanmu Huai’s shrimps appetizingly, she hesitated and then grabbed a handful of shrimp pellets and shoved them into her mouth......Duanmu Huai didn’t stop her in ti.
"Hmm? Sothing like that......"
By now, Banai also finished editing and uploading, smilingly watching her page’s hits, while also grabbing another handful of shrimp pellets from the cup beside her.
"........."
How should I put this, Duanmu Huai now finally understands why that man nad Sakura has no feelings for Banai.
This has nothing to do with childhood friendships anymore; just looking like this, anyone who goes on a date with her once wouldn’t feel good, right?
Although Banai is indeed a beauty and has a great figure, but... competing with sea turtles for food doesn’t seem like sothing humans should do, right?
Duanmu Huai silently watched the creature known as Banai beside him.
Hmm, the human sciences are about to discover a new subspecies.
Let’s just call it Banai.
"By the way, did you just upload it like that?"
"Hmm? Is there a problem?"
"Let teach you a trick, often used by entertainers, although I don’t need it."
"An artist’s trick? What trick?"
Upon hearing this, Banai imdiately beca interested, curiously opened her eyes wide and inquired.
"Don’t artists usually upload photos of themselves at certain locations to check in on dates?"
"Mhm."
"Those are actually scheduled uploads."
"Eh? Is that so?"
"That’s right, because they’re in public places, if the photos are uploaded directly and there happen to be fans nearby, then they can easily co and find them. For example, if you see a picture of an artist you like touring the aquarium, wouldn’t you want to find her?"
"This... Hmm... now that you ntion it, that’s true..."
"Exactly."
Seeing Banai looking pensive, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.
"Entertainers take photos, but upload them after they leave to prevent getting blocked by people. You too should be careful."
"Eh? I’m not an entertainer, so there’s no need, right?"
"But if soone who knows you sees you upload a photo of a date at the aquarium, they’ll definitely be curious about who you’re on the date with and will want to see for themselves... just like now."
Duanmu Huai spoke while turning his head, only to see a few girls walking in their direction.
"Ah, found them, found them! Here they are!"
"Hey, Anan———!"
"Huh?!"
Seeing those girls, Banai’s face changed imdiately. However, before she could regain her composure, the girls had already surrounded Banai and Duanmu Huai.
"I just knew they’d be around here, wasn’t wrong!"
"Banai, you’re so distant, why didn’t you tell us you have a boyfriend?"
"Is this kid Anan’s new boyfriend? Wow, so cute... Banai, I can’t believe you like this type!"
"What school are you from? How old are you? How did you et Banai?"
As the saying goes, one woman equals five hundred ducks. These thousands of ducks quacking around were a headache even for Duanmu Huai and Banai. Just dealing with their wide-ranging questions without getting exposed was already very taxing. Moreover, the group of girls was getting more and more excited and intended to follow Duanmu Huai and Banai.
By this point, Banai was already having a hard ti coping, and Duanmu Huai was playing the part of a shy middle school student, acting very bashful. His shy reaction, in turn, made the girls even more excited.
"Wow, this kid is so cute."
"He’s just like an idol!"
"You wouldn’t happen to be debuting as an idol, right?"
"Want to take a picture with us?"
"How about we all go out for a al together?"
"Let’s go singing KTV, after visiting the aquarium we can go sing, you two co along too."
The excited girls not only didn’t calm down but got even more riled up, they even started feeling up Duanmu Huai. Seeing this, Banai’s eyebrows instantly shot up.
"Wait, wait, you all...!"
Just as Banai was about to stop them...
"What? No way!" A girl exclaid after checking her phone.
"What happened?"
"Kana-chan is at the aquarium! She took a picture at the entrance!"
"Really?"
"Look!"
"Let’s hurry and see! Oh, Banai, make sure to tell us everything later, okay?"
Starstruck, the girls excitedly left the scene. As Duanmu Huai and Banai watched them walk away, they both breathed a sigh of relief. But just then, two figures suddenly appeared behind them, pressing their hands on Duanmu Huai’s and Banai’s shoulders.
The sudden appearance of these two people startled Banai, but in the next mont, she was horrified. Because Banai saw that it was Arima Kana, with a dark face, grabbing Duanmu Huai’s shoulder.
Then the person behind must be...
"Xiao Ai, what’s going on here, would you mind explaining?"
Hei Chuan Chi Yin, who was grabbing Banai, smiled, but there was not a trace of humor in her eyes.
