The lighting in the room was bright, with no place except under the bed being dark.

Even in Ziong MingDe's heart, there was brightness.

Perhaps what made the atmosphere eerie was the moon that affected gravity.

"Big brother, where did you hide Ziongzong brother?"

Although Usugi Yuki had already discussed this in advance, the sudden question made Ziong MingDe momentarily stop thinking.

He looked at Usugi Yuki's innocent gaze, unable to see anything hidden behind it.

Was this question a test?

Did she really figure it out, or was she just suspicious?

If she did, where did she figure it out from?

Questions flashed through his mind, and no matter how intelligent a person thinks they are, they always feel lost when faced with the unknown.

The exceptional quality of Ziong MingDe, which surpassed "intelligent people," was that he was skilled at seeing the essence of things.

Usugi Yuki already had suspicions about him, and once the trust was broken, it would be difficult to repair. Based on her actions tonight, only Usugi Yuki knew about this, and her questioning stemmed from her concern for Ziongzong.

Should he lie or tell the truth?

Lies always require new lies to support them, until they become untenable or the lies turn into reality.

"How did you know I'm not Ziongzong?"

Ziong MingDe adjusted his breathing and calmly asked Usugi Yuki.

Once he asked this question, he essentially confirmed Usugi Yuki's suspicion, meaning that he, Ziong MingDe, did indeed hide Ziongzong somewhere.

This was not a candid confession.

But there was no element of deceit either.

From a certain perspective, this statement could be understood as not lying to Usugi Yuki.

After Ziong MingDe asked his question, little Yuki blinked her eyes and immediately answered without hesitation.

"Women's intuition, you know."

Yes, this answer deserved an extra line break below and above it to highlight its impact.

If we were to describe Ziong MingDe's feelings at this moment, it would be like a high school student faced with a difficult solid geometry problem while doing homework. After struggling for quite some time and failing, they finally reluctantly opened the answer key behind the textbook. They went through it to find the corresponding question, only to discover that there were only two brief explanations, followed by a single line that read, "Thus, it is easily proved..." Yes, Ziong MingDe felt like his intelligence had been insulted. This was even more ruthless than writing "to be continued" in an answer. Although he felt a great emotional impact, on the surface, Ziong MingDe still appeared calm and unaffected, and he continued to ask another question.

"Besides intuition, is there anything else?"

"Oh, to be honest, it's not really intuition. It's just that Hosui always likes to say things like 'women's intuition,' and I thought I shouldn't miss this chance to try it out. I've been wanting to say this line for a long time!"

Usugi Yuki blinked her big, innocent eyes, looking as pure as ever.

Although it would be interesting to set everything aside and calculate the extent of the shadow in Ziong MingDe's heart at this moment, little Yuki was not aware that she had dealt a psychological blow to Ziong MingDe. Following the flow of the conversation, she finally earnestly answered Ziong MingDe's question.

"As for how I knew, um... I just felt that Ziongzong brother isn't as smart as you. He's clumsy, but he's a good brother... But, big brother, don't be discouraged! You're also a good brother, just slightly worse than Ziongzong brother!"

Little Yuki widened her eyes, and they shimmered with earnestness as she gave the answer Ziong MingDe had been longing for.

Perhaps, to someone like Ziong MingDe who was accustomed to considering things thoroughly, such an answer could not be deemed as a basis for drawing conclusions. However, in Usugi Yuki's world, these were already substantial enough evidences.At the end of the day, perhaps the most terrifying thing is the earliest answer.

A woman's intuition.
