Chapter 1650 Turning around (Every time I go out it’s so tiring)
Duanmu Huai didn't know what happened between Fengbin Hexiang and Sakurajima Mai after they returned. In short, a few days later, when he received the text message and went to the beach, what he saw was Sakurajima Mai who had returned to her original state.

"Oh, you finally got it back?"

"Well, thank you very much anyway."

After returning to her original state, Sakurajima Mai looked at Duanmu Huai with a complicated expression, then bowed her head to thank him.

"By the way, I really didn't expect you to bring her to watch my live performance. Aren't you worried that if I perform in the style of Mai Sakurajima, it will make Kazuka even more uneasy?"

"Oh, actually I have no choice, just like you at that time, there is no other way, so let's give it a try."

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"I think you are a good sister. You should understand your sister's feelings."

"You really trust me."

"well enough."

After a brief conversation, the two fell into silence, just staring at the sea in front of them on the shore. On the beach, they could see people having fun, but it had nothing to do with them.

After a moment, Sakurajima Mai broke the silence.

"Come to think of it, how could you have imagined that I would do this?"

"Because she's my sister."

"that's it?"

"What do you think Ruby?"

However, to Mai Sakurajima's surprise, Duanmu Huai did not answer her question directly, but asked an unrelated question.

"Ruby? She's great. She's very straightforward, enthusiastic, and polite. Even though she's a bit willful at times, she knows her limits..."

"Yeah, right."

Hearing what Sakurajima Mai said, Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction.

"After all, I raised him."

“……………You raised him???”

"Yes."

Duanmu Huai looked at the sea.

"Ruby's and my mother had an accident when we were very young and has been in the hospital ever since."

“This is the first time I’ve heard of this…”

"Because we didn't say it. Anyway, after that, I was the one who took care of Ruby."

"Then your mother..."

“I am still in hospital.”

Duanmu Huai said casually.

"It costs money to stay in the hospital and to raise a child, but when you're a child, there aren't many jobs that can make money, and it's impossible to work. Wouldn't it be much easier to make a movie? You were a child star, too, so you should know that in this industry, you can't make money for half a year if you don't make money, and you can make a living for half a year if you do."

For children aged five or six, if they want to make a lot of money legally, being a child star is almost the only way out. And because child actors are relatively well protected, they are paid quite a lot. As long as the guardians do not restrict the flow of the money, even children can live a life of abundance.

"That's true...but you should have a guardian, right?"

"Of course, they treat us well, but you also know that money is yours only if you spend it yourself. And they are very busy at work and don't have time to look after us all the time."

"I see."

Mai Sakurajima nodded.

"No wonder you keep filming. You don't look like you like filming."

"I have no choice. After all, I still have to make a living. This is the only way to make money quickly. I'm used to it now. So Ruby was raised by me. There is a saying that goes, the eldest sister is like a mother. I don't know the grudge between your mothers, and I don't bother to care. After all, it is the matter of the previous generation, but what this generation should do is still up to you. After all, children can't choose their parents, but they can choose their own lives."

Especially for people like Sakurajima Mai and Toyohama Kazuka, who are popular stars and idols and make a lot of money, it is very easy for them to really leave their families. Unlike those who have no money, who are really miserable.

Therefore, Duanmu Huai did not think that their family problems were unsolvable. Whether it was Sakurajima Mai or Fengbin Kazuka, they were simply entangled.

I don't care about this kind of thing.

"Speaking of which, today the teacher asked me to consult about my future direction."

Mai Sakurajima changed the subject, perhaps she also knew that this topic did not need to be explored further.

“Oh, do you still need counseling?”

“I plan to go to college.”

"What professional?"

"I haven't decided yet...Aren't you planning on going to college?"

"It must be tiring to take the college entrance examination. I've had enough of it..."

When talking about this, Duanmu Huai's face was full of bitterness. For the college entrance examination, no matter which country, one time is enough. Taking it more than once would be fatal. Moreover, with Duanmu Huai's current wealth, many graduates from famous universities have to work for him. Duanmu Huai couldn't understand what was the point of taking the college entrance examination.

In fact, Duanmu Huai had thought so before he traveled through time. At that time, he took the college entrance examination just to make his parents happy. But he didn't have any special ideas about college, so Duanmu Huai finally chose an unpopular major and just muddled through life. Thinking about it now, Duanmu Huai feels that maybe he shouldn't have gone to college at that time, but directly became a power leveler - of course, this is all hindsight.

After all, no one knows what their future will be like after graduating from college.

It is possible that what you encounter in college will change your thoughts and destiny and make you stand out, or you may graduate with nothing and become one of the many graduates who are unemployed right after graduation.

"You are so lazy..."

Mai Sakurajima was speechless about Duanmu Huai's lifestyle of lying down instead of sitting, and sitting instead of standing.

"There aren't many actors with a high level of education, so there's no need for me to go to college. I really envy you for being full of passion and drive for life. It's great to be young..."

"You are obviously about the same age as me, why are you saying such old-fashioned things?"

Sakurajima Mai reached out and grabbed Duanmu Huai's face. "Why is your skin so soft and smooth? You obviously don't use any skin care products?"

Mai Sakurajima was speechless when she felt the touch next to her. When she was suffering from puberty syndrome, Mai Sakurajima had nowhere to go and stayed in Duanmu Huai's room for a few days. At that time, she was surprised to find that Duanmu Huai had zero cosmetics.

Apart from the toiletries, there is shampoo, then soap, and that's it.

There are no products that girls should have, such as hand, skin, face and sunscreen.

Although it’s not that there are no girls like this, but an actor doesn’t care about it at all, which makes Mai Sakurajima speechless.

What’s even more speechless is that despite all this, Duanmu Huai’s appearance is not damaged at all. No matter how much he is exposed to the sun, he won’t get tanned, let alone cracked. He is as flawless as a jade carving.

"This is called natural beauty, which cannot be envied."

Duanmu Huai chuckled.

"And you seem to be no different now than when I first met you."

Mai Sakurajima also looked at Duanmu Huai carefully. The current Duanmu Huai has already grown to the same level as her clone. Perhaps because of this, Duanmu Huai now often looks more like a junior high school student than a high school student.

"Because I'm a magical girl who stays forever young."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"It's amazing that you can even say that..."

Mai Sakurajima rolled her eyes. After exchanging bodies with Kazuka Toyohama that day, the panicked Kazuka had hoped that Duanmu Huai would use the power of the magical girl to restore her health. So, out of desperation, Duanmu Huai found an opportunity to tell Mai Sakurajima about the lie he had told the three people from B Komachi.

After that, Mai Sakurajima often teased herself about this.

“In fact, it is almost the same.”

Duanmu Huai patted the guitar case on his back.

"Since I got this knife, my waist and legs are no longer sore, and my hands and feet are stronger... Well, it feels like the power of the evil spirits I killed with this knife has flowed into my body."

"Is this really okay? If this were a horror movie, maybe you'd turn into a ghost in the end?"

“I prefer an exciting lifestyle to an ordinary, everyday life.”

Duanmu Huai looked at the sea. He understood what the GM had talked about before. The long years, the long years of the gods, were very long, hundreds of years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years. Just thinking about it was unbearable. Even if his family members had the same lifespan as him, what would he do?
All Duanmu Huai could think of was to travel between different worlds, protect human civilization, and eliminate the enemies of mankind, just like he does now. But is this a job that requires persistence for thousands or tens of thousands of years?
"Mai."

"Ok?"

"If you could live for thousands of years, what would you do?"

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this question?"

"Think about it. For example, if you become a vampire and can live for thousands of years, what would you want to do then?"

"Um…………………"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's question, Sakurajima Mai fell into deep thought.

"Vampires, they suck blood... Blood plasma is relatively easy to buy nowadays, so it's not a problem. Sunlight? We have all the sun protection equipment... Well, but we have to live for thousands of years..."

As she spoke, Sakurajima Mai raised her head and looked towards the end of the ocean.

"To be honest, I can't think of it."

"is it?"

"Maybe I want to explore the world. After all, the world is so big. If I really have an infinite lifespan, even if I stay in one place for ten years, it will be enough to kill a lot of time. And now that technology is so advanced, maybe humans will go to the starry sky, but issues like household registration information are more difficult..."

The issues you consider are all very practical.

"Anyway, I can't think of it."

"makes sense."

This kind of question can only be asked to those who have actually lived for thousands of years... Oh, right, let's take Fulilian, I remember she lived for quite a long time.

Speaking of Fulilian, Duanmu Huai remembered that Zhen Jiling once told him that Fulilian seemed to have passed the Star Alliance's qualification certification exam... How come after living for so long, the destination of her life is still to take the exam?

When I thought about it this way, it suddenly became boring.

"I hope you can live a peaceful life instead of making people worry all the time."

Sakurajima Mai withdrew her gaze and looked at Duanmu Huai, who was also looking at her.

"This doesn't suit my personality. I actually quite like the thrilling life between life and death, just like those extreme sports athletes."

"But if you fail......"

"That's all."

Extreme sports are dangerous, that is why they are exciting, but there are also many extreme athletes who have died due to various mistakes.

As a judge, the enemies Duanmu Huai faces are equally dangerous, and death can be said to be dancing around him.

Especially when I think that after this test, I will start the final mission of fighting against the four vendors...

"To be honest, I don't understand Xiao Ai's thoughts, nor do I understand your feelings."

Mai Sakurajima withdrew her gaze.

"But I hope that at least when you come back, there will be someone to welcome you back. This is all I can do now."

Speaking of this, Sakurajima Mai was a little proud. After all... cooking for Duanmu Huai and Ruby every day was her habit.

But unfortunately, Sakurajima Mai's good mood did not last long.

the reason is simple.

When she and Duanmu Huai returned to the apartment, they saw the moving truck and...

"Hello, I'm Kurokawa who just moved here."

Completely ignoring the frozen gaze of Sakurajima Mai beside him, Kurokawa Akane smiled and handed the gift box to Duanmu Huai.

"I am not very talented, so from today on, please give me your guidance."
