After a closer look, I realized that it was not.
It's an acquaintance.
Hayasaka Ai.
Seeing Ye Xing come in, Hayasaka Ai took the initiative to stand up from the sofa, walked closer to him, looked at him carefully, and murmured.
"Sure enough, the director of this Super Quantity Society is really you."
Then, Hayasaka Ai went straight to the point without any nonsense.
"I inquired through my connections and heard that the person in Kyoto who is most capable of resolving unusual incidents is the exorcist Oda Noto-san. After I found him, he recommended you to me."
"Unusual incident?"
Ye Xing sat on the sofa and smiled nonchalantly.
"Why, is the Shinomiya mansion haunted?"
Hayasaka Ai nodded very seriously.
"As expected of you, you guessed it right away."
Ye Xing said bluntly, not looking surprised at all.
"The place where Kaguya Shinomiya lives is so depressing that it's about to explode. It would be strange if it wasn't haunted."
“I won’t comment on this.”
Hayasaka Ai was very conscious of being a maid, so she didn't respond to Ye Xing's words and just said it lightly.
"I just said it briefly."
"Miss Kaguya has contracted a strange disease."
"She was fine during the day, but every time she went to sleep at night, she would suddenly become a different person. She would get up from the bed, bend over the desk, and read all night long without even blinking."
Having said that, Hayasaka Ai paused for a moment and then spoke.
"I asked her tentatively, and Miss Kaguya seemed to be completely unaware of the fact that she would get up at night. Moreover, she had just undergone her annual routine physical examination some time ago, and she was in good health and had no diseases."
"According to my observation, she sleeps for less than five minutes a day, but she doesn't feel sleepy or listless during the day. It's as if she looks the same at night as she does during the day, but she's actually a completely different person."
“Isn’t this considered an abnormal phenomenon?”
Sakurajima Mai and Ye Xing looked at each other, and they both had the same thought in their minds.
This doesn't sound like a haunted place...
This sudden change...
Puberty syndrome?
Yexing asked Hayasaka Ai thoughtfully.
"When did this situation start?"
"It started that night after the joint exam between Shuchiin and Sobu High School ended."
After hearing these words, Ye Xing had some guesses in his mind.
There is a high probability that Kaguya Shinomiya is indeed suffering from puberty syndrome.
To find out the specific symptoms and solutions, we have to send the Super Quantum Society's top brain, Rio Futaba, the master of quantum mechanics, to investigate.
Ye Xing wondered if Futaba Rio would be very happy when she heard the news.
After all, this is a rare opportunity for the other party to find a real professional match since joining Chaoliang Society.
At this time, Ye Xing noticed that Hayasaka Ai was looking at her with a very strange look, and she couldn't help but chuckle and teased.
"What do you mean by looking at me like that?"
Without waiting for Hayasaka Ai to answer, he turned to look at Sakurajima Mai and said in a provocative tone.
"Mai-senpai, she wants to NTR you."
Mai Sakurajima patted Yexing's shoulder, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"What are you talking about? Hayasaka-san is very serious. Don't say such weird things."
Looking at the joking Sakurajima Mai and Yohoshi, Hayasaka Ai suddenly spoke.
"Senior Mai Sakurajima, I have a question for you."
Mai Sakurajima was a little confused when she heard this, but she still maintained a polite smile.
"Please go ahead, Hayasaka-san."
Hayasaka Ai turned her gaze towards Yexing and spoke softly.
"Wouldn't you feel frustrated or even painful at times when you were with this person? After all, his grades are so good. Compared to your students at Sobu High School, or even all the students at Shuchi Academy, his talent is so high that there is a huge gap in level. Even when it comes to dealing with unusual events, you have to wait for him to come back before you can make a decision."
"Um..."
Sakurajima Mai thought for a moment, first glanced at Ye Xing beside her, then looked at Hayasaka Ai and said with a smile.
“Not at all.”
"Really? Never?"
"Yes."
Mai Sakurajima smiled and said softly.
"I think he really needs people like us around him, otherwise he can't do it alone."
"I see... I understand."
Hayasaka Ai nodded noncommittally, stood up and walked to the door.
"If you decide to accept the commission, contact me again and I will tell you the details."
Just when she was about to leave, she heard Ye Xing say something meaningful.
"Hayasaka-san."
"The reason why the hedgehog has sharp thorns on its surface to hurt anyone who dares to approach it is, after all, because it is a weak creature."

Hearing this, Hayasaka Ai, who had already walked out the door, paused, turned sideways and spoke softly.
"Mr. Yexing, you can say such things. It seems that you are not as ignorant of the ways of the world as you appear to be."
"Look what you said."
Yexing responded with a smile.
"If you can accurately hit every sore spot of others, you can get along with them without offending them at all."
"I chose the former just because of my personal interest."
"Rather than putting on a fake smile, I prefer direct verbal humiliation."
“Although I don’t have the quality, I feel great.”
Hayasaka Ai didn't reply this time, she just walked out the door on her own.
After the other person left, Sakurajima Mai breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself thoughtfully.
"I didn't expect that there would be a second person suffering from puberty syndrome, and it's that Shinomiya Kaguya. This is really troublesome."
"What's the trouble?"
Ye Xing waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Shinomiya Kaguya is sick. What does it have to do with us? It doesn't have any impact. I don't plan to agree to help."
"Ok?"
Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai frowned slightly, looking very unhappy, and reached out to twist Ye Xing's arm.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but how come you've become like this after going to Tokyo? Although Kaguya Shinomiya was once your rival, it was just an exam competition between students, not a blood feud. Let alone the possibility of strange phenomena, the fact that she has puberty syndrome alone means that we, as people who know about it, should provide help."
Ye Xing’s answer was simple.
"no."
Sakurajima Mai was even more furious and she clenched her fists and shook them in front of Ye Xing.
"You're still dragging me into English? Huh?"
"If I say I won't help, I won't help."
Looking at Ye Xing lying on the sofa, looking like he was determined to play badly to the end, Sakurajima Mai took a deep breath and decided to use another method to attack.
She first opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of Coca-Cola from the dozen or so neatly arranged and chilled bottles inside. Then she ran to Ye Xing, squatted down, unscrewed the bottle cap on her own initiative, handed it to him, and whispered in a very gentle tone.
"You must be tired after running all the way to Itomori Town. Have a bottle of Coke and I'll give you a shoulder massage."
"What?"
Ye Xing saw through Sakurajima Mai's plan at a glance.
But seeing through it is seeing through it.
It’s better to drink the Coke first.
After drinking it, he put the Coke bottle on the table, looked at Sakurajima Mai, and said seriously.
"You also heard that Shinomiya Kaguya suffered from puberty syndrome on the night of the joint exam. You should understand what this means, right?"
"Of course."
Sakurajima Mai sighed softly, held Ye Xing's hand, and spoke earnestly.
"But don't think it's your responsibility. You're ranked first, and there's nothing wrong with that. There's a ranking system in the exams, and you couldn't have predicted that Shinomiya Kaguya would suffer from puberty syndrome because of this."
"of course."
In response to Sakurajima Mai's comfort, Ye Xing did not show any guilt, but instead looked righteous.
"That must be her own problem. How could it be my problem?"
Sakurajima Mai rolled her eyes, thinking that she must have lost her mind for wanting to comfort Ye Xing.
This guy is 200% immune to moral blackmail.
Not to mention other people, even Ye Xing himself would not use moral blackmail on himself.
When a normal person encounters this kind of thing, although he knows that it is not his fault, he will inevitably have some complicated thoughts because there is a high probability that the loss of the first place in the joint exam is causally related to Kaguya Shinomiya's puberty syndrome.
Fortunately, Yexing is not a normal person.
"That's what I said."
Sakurajima Mai changed the subject, lay down on Ye Xing's legs, raised her hand and stroked the other's cheek, and advised in a gentle tone.
"If I hadn't met you, I would have disappeared from everyone's knowledge. As someone who has suffered from puberty syndrome, I can best understand what Kaguya Shinomiya is feeling right now. She must be in unspeakable pain and entanglement in her heart, which is why she fell into this situation. Please help her."
"Are you overflowing with Virgin Mary's love?"
"How can you be called a saint? If you say so, then you were also a saint when you helped me."
"You are different."
"What's the difference?"
Ye Xing replied sincerely.
"I was just lusting after your body, and my motives weren't very good."
"Just pull it off."
Mai Sakurajima didn't believe this at all.
If he really wanted my body, then shouldn't he have taken action long ago, considering that Ye Xing was the only person in the world who could observe me, and I was living in his house?
It's almost like I'm jealous of myself.

"Help me, please~"
