Why are there so many cockroaches at home?

Chen Xiao was speechless, thinking, 'What experience do I have? This is also the first time I've been cornered at home by a girl's parents.'

He just happened to be relatively calm when things happened.

This situation was very difficult to handle; he couldn't just let the bodyguards rush in and grab her, so he could only silently wait for an opportunity.

He probably had to wait until Xia Yudie's parents fell asleep before he would have a chance to leave.

Once he understood the key, Chen Xiao was no longer anxious; instead, he took out his phone, set it to silent mode, and started playing games.

Xia Yudie's psychological resilience wasn't as good; she was always distracted.

She even ate dinner absentmindedly, causing her mother, Su Tian, to ask her multiple times, feeling very puzzled.

She wondered, 'What's wrong with my daughter? She looks like she's lost her soul.'

Finally, night arrived. Chen Xiao didn't feel much else, but if he didn't go to the restroom soon, he would burst.

Xia Yudie, who was in the living room watching TV with her parents, received a message from Chen Xiao. After some hesitation, she stood up and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to bed. Please turn down the TV."

Su Tian: "You brat, you're usually the one who watches the latest, but today you're scolding us instead."

Despite her complaints, she still turned down the TV volume a bit.

Xia Yudie returned to her room and closed the door.

Chen Xiao poked his head out and said, "Can I find a chance to go to the restroom...?"

Xia Yudie: "..."

"No, you have to go through the living room to get to the opposite side..."

"My parents are still in the living room..."

Just as she was speaking, the sound of the TV in the living room stopped.

Chen Xiao's heart lit up, and he motioned for Xia Yudie to check the situation.

She listened at the door for a while and found that there seemed to be no movement outside.

Then she opened the door a crack, and indeed, there was no one in the living room.

Her parents had returned to their room.

Xia Yudie thought for a moment. If she went out now, she would definitely be discovered. But going to the restroom... should be fine, right?

"Chen Xiao, come out quickly, I'll take you to the restroom."

"..." Chen Xiao: "Are you sure?"

"It's fine, don't let yourself get too uncomfortable," Xia Yudie said.

Chen Xiao wriggled out from under the bed, letting out a sigh of relief. Lying on the floor for several hours was very uncomfortable.

Then the two of them tiptoed out of the bedroom.

In the living room, they could still hear Xia Yudie's parents talking in the adjacent bedroom...

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

However, the two successfully reached the restroom, and their tense nerves relaxed a bit.

After Chen Xiao had taken care of his business, the two were about to return the way they came.

Unexpectedly, the TV in the living room...

Turned on again!!!

Xia Yudie's eyes widened...

"Oh no, we're trapped..."

They could hide in the bedroom, but how could they hide in the restroom?

"Yu Die, can you help Dad pick out which clothes to wear for his business trip tomorrow?"

"..." Xia Yudie.

"Huh? I... I'm taking a shower."

Xia Linan was puzzled: "Didn't you already shower when we got back? Why are you showering again?"

At this moment, Xia Yudie reacted quickly, "Huh? It's too hot and I'm sweating, so you can ask my mom to help you."

Xia Linan grumbled, "What does your mom know? I still trust my daughter's taste."

Su Tian chased out of the bedroom and said, "Oh, you Xia Linan, are you talking bad about me behind my back? Yu Die, come out and judge, what's wrong with my taste?"

Xia Yudie: "..."

She quickly gave Chen Xiao a look, and Chen Xiao understood, immediately turning on the shower.

"Mom, your taste is very good, I can't come out because I'm showering. You two go back to your room and talk slowly."

...

Outside the door, her father and mother were bickering. In the restroom, Xia Yudie was full of helplessness; she couldn't keep showering forever...

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, was optimistic. Since it was already like this, he would just let fate decide what happened next.

Xia Yudie was speechless and warned softly, "Don't move around, be careful they hear you!"

In the living room, Xia's father and mother's argument continued.

Suddenly, a scream was heard from the restroom.

The four people in the house froze instantly.

Xia Linan and Su Tian stopped arguing.

"Yu Die, what's wrong?"

Xia Yudie softened her tone and said, "No, nothing, a cockroach ran out and scared me."

"Huh? A cockroach? Quickly tell your mom to go in and kill it!" Xia Linan said.

Su Tian: "I don't dare..."

Xia Linan was speechless, "Can you bear to let your daughter be scared by a cockroach?"

Xia Yudie shouted, "It's okay, I've already killed it, you two continue to argue."

"..." Xia Linan.

"..." Su Tian.

"Alas, my daughter has grown up, she even dares to kill cockroaches," Xia Linan felt relieved.

Su Tian rolled her eyes at him and did not continue to argue.

The living room quieted down, leaving only the sound of the shower pouring down.

The water streams fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Until the living room lights went out, Xia Yudie listened carefully outside, making sure there was no sound at all.

Only then did she quietly open a crack in the door.

Indeed, there was no one in the living room.

The two of them, carrying their shoes, ran back to the room quickly and quietly barefoot, locked the door, and then finally felt completely relieved.

"You're annoying, you almost got me killed."

Chen Xiao chuckled, "Just tell me if it was exciting or not."

Xia Yudie rolled her eyes at him, "Stay quiet for a while, wait until they fall asleep before you leave."

"Okay."

Chen Xiao wandered around Xia Yudie's room, a girl's room with a faint fragrance.

Aside from not being able to smoke, it was quite comfortable and had a strange, wonderful feeling.

In a blink of an eye, it was already 12 o'clock. Chen Xiao was fully dressed, carrying his shoes, ready to sneak out quietly.

But who knew, there was movement in the living room again...

"What the heck..."

Both of them were startled.

Chen Xiao asked in a low voice:

"What's going on?"

"You hide first, I'll go check."

Xia Yudie came out and asked, "Dad, why aren't you going to bed yet?"

Xia Linan hugged his pillow and blanket, "I want to, but your mom kicked me out."

Xia Yudie rolled her eyes, feeling speechless.

Why was tonight so eventful!

"You go to sleep quickly, I'll just make do on the sofa for the night."

Helpless, Xia Yudie walked back to her room.

"It's over, you can't leave tonight. My dad was kicked out by my mom and is sleeping on the sofa."

Chen Xiao: "..."

What the heck is going on...

He lay down on the bed.

"Well, I can't leave tonight."

...

In the middle of the night, Xia Linan and Su Tian were woken up again.

"What's wrong, Yu Die? What happened?"

Xia Yudie defended herself, "No, nothing, I killed another cockroach..."

Su Tian was puzzled, "Why are there suddenly so many cockroaches in the house? Let's buy some insecticide tomorrow."

Xia Linan said, "Don't let me catch it, otherwise I'll kill it and crush it!"

Chen Xiao, who was behind Xia Yudie, shuddered in fright upon hearing this.
