Ye Xing shook his head and said softly.
"The public's opinion cannot change the nature of the 'Mask'. People expect a hero to be born, so they regard him as a hero. As a media writer, instead of discussing the rationality and legitimacy of the 'Mask''s behavior, you should explore why people regard him as a hero and the real reasons behind this social phenomenon."
Suga Natsumi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she picked up the cold drink on the table, touched the straw with her lipstick-painted lips, and said with a smile.
"As a freshman, what you said is quite profound."
After saying this, Suga Natsumi paused for a moment before continuing.
"So you can't understand the actions of 'Mask'?"
"That's a bad word."
Ye Xing waved his hand and spoke with a smile.
"It is precisely because I do not regard him as a hero that I can face all his actions squarely. After all, admiration is the furthest emotion from understanding."
"Longing is the most distant feeling from understanding..."
Suga Natsumi repeated it softly, then repeated it again, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. Finally, she smiled sweetly and raised the ballpoint pen in her hand.
"Can this sentence be recorded in the interview report?"
"no problem."
After getting Ye Xing's consent and recording their conversation in the notebook, Suga Natsumi looked at Ye Xing with interest and smiled.
"Well, Yexing-san, tell me about yourself."
Ye Xing chuckled and asked back.
"For an interview?"
"Um..."
Suga Natsumi looked meaningful, tapped the tabletop with her white index finger with manicured nails, and smiled.
"Just think of it as half for the interview and half to satisfy my personal curiosity."
"My own business..."
Ye Xing leaned back on the sofa with a relaxed smile on his face and spread his hands.
"Actually, there's nothing much to say about me."
"Don't come on... there must be some..."
Just as Suga Natsumi was looking at him with a look of disbelief and was halfway through her words, she saw Ye Xing suddenly stand up with a menacing look, which scared her so much that she shrank back.
"What...what are you going to do?"
Ye Xing walked up to Suga Natsumi, looked down at her, and spoke slowly and seriously.
"There's really not much to say about me. I'm just the strongest exorcist in history, the best shooter in Kyoto, the chosen one with unruly talent, a professional player in Shura Field, a destroyer of party disputes and stock speculation, the god of harem, the B king of Sobu High School, the first in the Sakura Province joint entrance examination, the natural enemy of the private Shuchiin Academy, the founder of the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Society..."
"Well, that seems to be the only titles."
Ye Xing read out his long list of titles as if he was reading out the names of dishes, without even taking a breath. After he finished, he nodded with satisfaction and smiled at the confused Suga Natsumi.
"Besides these, I'm just an ordinary high school student, not worth mentioning."
Suga Natsumi opened her lips slightly, already stunned by what she heard.
What is this?
Exorcist? Butter shooter? The chosen one with unruly talent?
Could it be that this Ye Xing classmate is a severe case of chuunibyou?
What's that behind?
Shura field, party struggles, stock speculation, these words that tend to be in the field of otaku, Suga Natsumi has also heard of them.
The key is that...
God of the harem?
Suga Natsumi simply couldn't understand this word.
It was just her instinct as a media writer that allowed her brain to capture useful clues even when it was shut down.
"Yehxing-san..."
Suga Natsumi raised her head, and her eyes changed from confusion at the beginning to incredible shock.
"You...are the top scorer in the joint entrance exam for Sakura Province!? Is that true!?"
"Harmful."
Ye Xing waved his hands, looking bored.
"I have put this title so far down the list that it is not worth mentioning."
"How can this be insignificant?!"
Of course, Suga Natsumi could understand the value contained in these four simple words: first in the joint entrance examination.
This means that the student in front of him, Ye Xing, has defeated all the students in the same class in terms of academic performance, and has stepped on tens or even millions of his peers to obtain this title!
After learning that Yohoshi was ranked first in the joint entrance examination of Sakura Province, Suga Natsumi had the same doubt as Futaba Rio who had just learned about this.
"With your first place in the Sakura Province entrance exam...why don't you enroll in the private Shuchiin Academy? It should be much better than Sobu High School, right?"
Hearing this question, Ye Xing just smiled nonchalantly and gave an answer that Suga Natsumi was surprised by.
"Because I don't want to go."
Upon hearing this, Suga Natsumi was stunned for a moment, but then an inexplicable excitement appeared in her eyes.
At first, she invited classmate Ye Xing for an interview because he had a good-looking appearance and a body shape similar to that of the "masked man".
In addition, there is an exclusive interview with the Sunny Doll Killer, as well as the "Masked" cosplay photos she took during the cosplay event in Tokyo, which were 100% authentic to the other party.
This is simply a perfect "masked" meal replacement for the citizens of Kyoto.
But now, Suga Natsumi has changed her mind.
She looked at the night stars unscrupulously, not hiding her eyes that were full of interest and curiosity.
This classmate Ye Xing himself seems to be very popular.
The fact that this genius, who ranked first in the Sakura Province joint entrance examination, chose to enroll in Sobu High School is worthy of an exclusive interview.
"Yehxing-san, I've changed my mind."
Suga Natsumi spoke seriously.
"I hope to conduct an in-depth interview with you."
Yexing smiled.
"How deep?"
As a mature woman in her early twenties, Natsumi Suga's defense is obviously much higher than that of high school girls like Sakurajima Mai, and also much higher than that of the shame of adult women, Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Although her face turned slightly red, she was unwilling to give in.
"Mr. Yexing, do you like women who are more mature than you? I don't mind dating boys younger than me."
Ye Xing was acting out of character, without the usual frivolous and lazy look on his face. Instead, he looked directly into Suga Natsumi's eyes and spoke slowly.
"I am doing you a favor by accepting this interview, so you should also provide me with something that I am interested in. Just to remind you, I am not referring to you as a person."
When Suga Natsumi heard this, the smile in her eyes gradually disappeared, but she still maintained a decent smile, crossed her hands on her knees, and leaned forward slightly.
"So what do you want from me? I have to remind you that I don't have any money, and you don't seem to be short of money either."
"I need intelligence."
"intelligence?"
"Yes, intelligence."
Ye Xing took the glass of cold drink on the table, not caring about Suga Natsumi's lips at all. He just touched the straw, took a sip, and then stated his conditions.
"As a media writer, it is your job to collect noteworthy gossip in Kyoto, and in my opinion, you do a good job."
"I don't mind accepting an interview and letting you use me as a tool to attract attention and increase the topic of your reports."
"But in exchange, you must email me any gossip you collect in the future, whether true or false."
"Can you do this?"
Hearing what Ye Xing said, Suga Natsumi couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
A high school student could negotiate such a deal with me in such a skilled tone...
This classmate Ye Xing is really not a simple person.
but...
Suga Natsumi thought about it carefully and felt that there was no loss for her in this transaction.
As a media writer, her job was to travel around Kyoto every day, collecting information discussed by citizens and writing reports.
For Suga Natsumi, the condition proposed by Yexing was just a matter of sending an email to the other party after sorting out the information collected that day.
What's more, she was indeed very interested in the young man in front of her.
To sum up, this is a win-win situation.
"no problem."
Suga Natsumi nodded, stretched out her right hand and smiled.
"Is this a deal?"
Yexing held her hand and smiled back.
"Then, please give me your guidance from now on, Miss Suga Natsumi."
Feeling the warmth in the other person's palm and seeing the other person's very calm and unperturbed eyes, he suddenly felt a little competitive.
Why is it that from the very beginning of the conversation, I feel like I am being controlled by the other party?
Obviously, I am the more mature one.
Thinking of this, Suga Natsumi felt like teasing Ye Xing. She did not let go of the other person's hand, but gently scratched the palm of the other person's hand with her fingernails, and spoke with a smile.
"So, there's nothing to talk about dating?"
"You want to date me?"
Yexing smiled.
"Then you have to make an appointment first."
Suga Natsumi opened her lips and was about to refute, but then she remembered the group of members of the Super Society around the other party.
All of them are girls.
Moreover, they all look very cute.
Suga Natsumi couldn't refute it.
She was fooled after all.
..........
Two hours later, in a residential building in an apartment building.
"Well...it feels so uncomfortable..."
Kitagawa Kaimeng curled up on the sofa, like a wounded kitten, watching TV absentmindedly, with a sickly flush on her face.
"I was...looking forward to it."
Kitagawa Umi didn't wear cosmetic contact lenses at home. Her bright black eyes revealed an unconcealable look of loss.
She had been looking forward to going to the Suga editing studio for an exclusive interview today since she received the call yesterday.
Kitagawa Umi told herself that this was all to help her good friend Kawasaki Saki hold her ground. Otherwise, if Yexing and the female reporter were alone in a room, who knows what would happen.
In fact, she can deceive others but not herself.
She just wanted to find a suitable reason to see Ye Xing.
