In the end, perhaps the scariest thing is the earliest answer.

A woman's intuition.

So-called intuition always has a kind of magic. The more you believe in it, the more accurate it is, and vice versa, intuition is completely unreliable.

This may be the fundamental reason why Yui's theory is indestructible. Who knows?

In any case, it is this woman's intuition that drives Uesugi Yuki to turn those simple and subjective arguments into conclusions.

Perhaps such irrational results are frustrating, but Ziong MingDe's thinking has moved on to the next stage.

-No, all of this doesn't matter.

That's right, it doesn't matter how Uesugi Yuki got to this point.

Ziong MingDe has organized his thoughts and returned to his usual state.

The conclusion he has reached makes him realize that it doesn't matter how Uesugi Yuki got to this point.

What Uesugi Yuki just said, "You're a good big brother, just a little worse than Ziongzong brother!" has made Ziong MingDe understand that Uesugi Yuki is not standing on the opposing side.

And that is enough.

As for whether it is a woman's intuition or a loli's intuition, it doesn't matter.

Uesugi Yuki doesn't see Ziong MingDe as an enemy.

Then, not knowing what Ziong MingDe was thinking, Uesugi Yuki began her questioning.

"I have answered your question, big brother. Now it's your turn to tell me!"

Little Yuki's eyes sparkled like the bright North Star in the night sky.

"Where did you hide Ziongzong brother?"

Little Yuki clenched her small fist, her curiosity overflowing.

"Why do you look so much like Ziongzong brother?"

Little Yuki's gaze was bright and focused, like a torch.

"Are you twins?"

Little Yuki gradually sat cross-legged and rose to a half-sitting position. Her eyes sparkled, her gaze focused, and her clenched little fists trembled slightly.

"Did Ziongzong brother leave for an important matter and ask you to take his place?"

As described earlier, once Little Yuki's questioning started, it was unstoppable, like a machine gun firing one question after another. Facing the storm of questions, Ziong MingDe remained calm, not only remembering the content of each question but also thinking about how to answer them at the same time.

After Little Yuki's questioning finally ended, Ziong MingDe cleared his throat as a symbol to begin answering.

"Ziongzong, he..."

However, the room fell into silence the next second.

As Ziong MingDe started to say Ziongzong's name, Uesugi Yuki's candid gaze made him stop answering.

He didn't want to lie.

Ziong MingDe didn't want to lie to Uesugi Yuki.

This thought naturally arose in him, and Ziong MingDe didn't even think about why he felt this way.

Now, he simply followed his heart and acted.

As a result, he couldn't say the lie "Ziongzong will be back soon."

He had something to do, and he wouldn't gamble his own life for the crazy experiment of the dean, at least not now.

The answer had no follow-up, but Uesugi Yuki's expectant gaze remained on Ziong MingDe.

Such a gentle expectation made it impossible for Ziong MingDe to pretend that it didn't exist.

Escape was not possible.

He pondered for a moment and gave a cautious and earnest reply.

"I don't know when he will be back. But during the time he is away, I have to cover for him. So, I hope Yuki can help me and Ziongzong keep this secret, okay?"

When was the last time he spoke so sincerely from his heart without lying?

Without lying, Ziong MingDe gave the best answer he could come up with at the moment.At this moment, he felt an indescribable sense of joy, even though his question had not yet been answered.
