Capítulo 2459: Chapter 1645: Sisters (Eating Small, Frequent als Is the Key) (Part 2)
“Sorry to trouble you, Miss Xiao Ai.”
“No worries.”
Feng Bin Hexiang displayed a great deal of respect before Duanmu Huai, which was only natural. Duanmu Huai was a veteran in the entertainnt industry; even those older than him but who joined later showed him respect with a bow.
“By the way, can you imitate Mai?”
“Of course!”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, Feng Bin Hexiang hesitated for a mont, then lightly humd and raised her head.
“How’s this?”
“…”
Staring at Feng Bin Hexiang in front of him, Duanmu Huai squinted his eyes, saying nothing.
“Wh-what’s wrong? Am I not convincing in my imitation?”
“No, it’s pretty good… Ah, I see, I understand now.”
“Hmm??”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Feng Bin Hexiang looked at him in confusion, but Duanmu Huai did not explain. In fact, Feng Bin Hexiang’s previous gestures felt quite familiar to Duanmu Huai; it definitely seed like sothing Sakurajima Mai herself would do. This is why Duanmu Huai finally understood Feng Bin Hexiang’s rather artificial conduct at B-Komachi before.
Just like how Ruby always imitates Xingye Ai, Feng Bin Hexiang unconsciously has been imitating Sakurajima Mai.
When she was still herself, the difference in appearance was too great for Duanmu Huai to notice. It wasn’t until the body swap due to the Adolescence Syndro that Duanmu Huai discovered this. Even though it’s imitation, being able to mimic even the subtle details so closely shows that Feng Bin Hexiang has genuinely always aid to emulate Sakurajima Mai—to imitate her and beco her.
And after she swapped bodies with Sakurajima Mai, this beca even more evident.
But… this is just the beginning.
As they spoke, the two arrived at the filming location for the variety show: a small mountain town that was once a deserted village. Duanmu Huai knew of this place; it had been purchased, renovated, and now used for filming those Japanese historical dramas. Essentially, it was Japan’s Hengdian World Studios.
This variety show was like a ti travel drama, where the celebrities act as if they travel back to ancient tis and attempt to survive there. The rules between modernity and ancient tis differ greatly, so if they make inappropriate moves, they might be pursued or have points deducted.
The show’s entire concept was about celebrities returning to ancient tis, conversing with actors portraying people from that era, finding clues to uncover the hidden Divine Artifact, and then returning to the present day.
Of course, if they were discovered or captured, or killed in the process, it would an failure.
The celebrities paired off into teams of two; Sakurajima Mai partnered with a newly debuted model. Duanmu Huai found the show interesting and decided to tag along.
At this point, Sakurajima Mai had already gone inside to prepare her makeup, while Duanmu Huai was sitting outside idly, browsing on his phone.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
“Hey, hello, lovely lady.”
“???”
Duanmu Huai looked up to see a man with dyed blond hair, looking not particularly handso, standing before him, displaying a smile so repulsive it made one want to punch him right in the face and smash his teeth along with his jaw.
“Are you here to participate in this show as well?”
“Ah, sort of… “
Though he’s just here to watch the drama.
“Let’s get acquainted; I’m KET, a guest on this program.”
The man, spreading a broad smile again, looked quite cheerful.
“You look really cute. How about it? Want to hang out after the show? Oh, let’s exchange contact details.”

While talking, the blond man took out his phone, but Duanmu Huai rely watched him like an idiot, unmoving.
Seeing Duanmu Huai’s lack of response, the blond man frowned.
“What’s the matter, you…”
But before he could complete his sentence, a man in a suit ran up, pressed down on the blond man’s head, and bowed with him.
“Terribly sorry to disturb you, Miss Duanmu! This… KET has just returned to the country recently, and… He isn’t too familiar with the surroundings here. We’re really sorry!”
“Just returned to the country and already hitting on girls? Is he here for the program or to flirt? Does he think this is a nightclub?”
Duanmu Huai silently stared at the man in the suit.
“Which agency are you from?”
“Uhm… We are from Heimu Agency…”
“Oh, I see.”
Duanmu Huai nodded.
“You may leave now.”
“We’re truly sorry—–!”
The man in the suit bowed deeply at ninety degrees to Duanmu Huai, then dragged the blond man away quickly. From afar, muted sounds of their argunt could still be heard.
“Hey, manager, why did you make bow down to a little girl?”
“Shut up! I knew you were dumb, but didn’t think this dumb… “
Listening to the faint sounds of argunt in the distance, Duanmu Huai chuckled and refocused. Although judging by appearances the man seed older, Duanmu Huai was a veteran in the entertainnt industry. He’s not like Arima Kana, who was famous as a child but faded later; Duanmu Huai occupies the top-tier position in the industry.
And that blond man isn’t even an actor, just a model, a small-ti role trying to disturb a top-tier artist. The outco for him is predictable.
In fact, Duanmu Huai doesn’t even need to do anything… “
“Terribly sorry, Miss Duanmu.”
Sure enough, after a while, the show’s director along with the previous man in the suit approached Duanmu Huai again.
“Heimu Agency has already fired that rude guy… Please don’t let his offense weigh on your mind.”
See? Naturally, soone would step in to handle these fools for Duanmu Huai.
“Alright, I understand. It seems Heimu Agency is quite strict in managing their artists; that’s reassuring.”
Duanmu Huai nodded as he continued to scroll through his phone. It’s not that Heimu Agency was being overly dramatic. In the Japanese entertainnt world, hierarchical relationships are very defined. Even if the other party didn’t recognize Duanmu Huai, it’s not his fault; everyone would only think it’s the agency’s fault for not educating newcors properly. If the agency hadn’t decisively fired that man, other production teams would question Heimu Agency’s ability to teach newcors, and they wouldn’t invite their artists on shows.
Don’t think this is an exaggeration; with Duanmu Huai’s fa currently in the entertainnt industry, it’s a certainty.
Then the director also spoke up.
“Uh… Miss Duanmu, since KET has withdrawn from this show, would you like to join? Wasn’t he partnered with Sakurajima Mai? I think being from the sa agency, you two might work together more smoothly… “
Heimu Agency had probably spent considerable money and resources to secure the guest spot for their artist. However, just because that idiot tried to flirt with Duanmu Huai, the agency is willing to give up the hard-earned guest spot… As expected in the entertainnt world, this is understandable.
That’s why Duanmu Huai needs to hold onto power; otherwise, whether soone’s face has even a hint of self-assud handsoness, if they get in the way of business or cause potential losses, they’ll be ruthlessly abandoned.
After all, in the entertainnt industry, charming n and won are a di a dozen; even Arima Kana, Hei Chuan Chi Yin, and Sakurajima Mai, with their popularity, are not indispensable.
“Alright.”
Duanmu Huai shrugged, putting away his phone.
“Just consider it promotion for the new film.”
