"Well, I promise you," replied Usagi Yuki without any hesitation. She considered herself mature, but sometimes, going back to basics was the most valuable thing. It was difficult to determine whether Usagi Yuki made the right or wrong decision in this moment of choice. But one thing was certain. Usagi Yuki's choice, to some extent, changed the gradually returning coldness in Ziong Mingde's heart.
"Yuki will keep this as a secret and won't tell anyone," the two of them, unaware of these changes, continued their cheerful conversation. In the quiet and cozy bedroom, listening to Usagi Yuki's words and looking at her obedient and innocent face, Ziong Mingde gradually understood why he was unwilling to lie to her and why he felt so comfortable being around her.
Ziong Mingde was accustomed to speculating about people's hearts through observation. Whether it was lying or being strong, nothing could escape his insight. However, he didn't need any of that when he was with Usagi Yuki. She was like a transparent doll that made Ziong Mingde feel at ease.
"Then... do you have any way to contact Ziongzong brother or do you know where he went, big brother?" After reaching an agreement with Ziong Mingde, little Yuki didn't stop inquiring about the situation regarding Ziongzong.
Ziong Mingde thought for a moment and continued with his smooth response, following his previous remarks, "No... I don't have any way to contact him, I can only wait for him to come back." This answer made Usagi Yuki's expression change from anticipation to disappointment. Seeing this change in Usagi Yuki, Ziong Mingde had a slight unpleasant feeling.
Usagi Yuki's observation skills were sharp, but she interpreted Ziong Mingde's unhappiness as concern for Ziongzong. Therefore, she cleverly changed the topic, "By the way, big brother, you haven't finished answering the previous question. What's your name?"
This question might seem ordinary to little Yuki, but it was different for someone like Ziong Mingde with a special identity. However, Ziong Mingde casually replied, "Ziong MingDe."
"From Min Duo?" Since it was in Mandarin, little Yuki didn't understand and just repeated the pronunciation vaguely. Ziong Mingde didn't correct her and simply smiled in agreement.
"Why do Min Duo brother and Ziongzong brother look exactly the same?" "Have you heard of a saying, little Yuki, that there are two people in the world who look exactly the same as oneself, except for oneself?" "Really? I always thought that was a joke!" "So, how did Min Duo brother meet Ziongzong brother?" "That's a long story, it happened one or two years ago..."
Ziong Mingde was about to start telling a story when an unexpected guest arrived outside the Usagi residence. "Little Zong Zong, there's a visitor looking for you!" Yukino's voice interrupted Ziong Mingde and Usagi Yuki's conversation. They exchanged a glance and smiled spontaneously.
"Until next time, Yuki." "Hmm, alright." Ziong Mingde went downstairs first and Usagi Yuki left the room later. Before leaving, she casually closed the door. After closing the door, Usagi Yuki turned around and looked at the deep gaze of the door, which Ziong Mingde didn't see.
