"Eeeek!!!"
Yet the moment Fubuki heard the word "cockroach," her pretty face turned deathly pale!
Like a little girl hearing a horror story, she let out a piercing scream!
Then, like an octopus, she sprang onto the sofa, the safest spot in the living room!
Fubuki huddled in a corner of the sofa, unprecedented terror filling her dark green eyes!
She scanned every dark corner of the room and spoke in a trembling voice that verged on tears:
"C-cockroach?! Wh-where?! Where is it?!"
Looking at the adorable woman scared pale before him, Ye Chuan gave a helpless smile.
"Don't worry."
Holding back his laughter, he answered:
"I've already dealt with it."

Fubuki did not relax in the slightest!
With the utmost seriousness and precision of a biologist, she explained:
"Cockroaches are social creatures!"
"According to scientific statistics! When you find one cockroach in your home, it means that in the corners you can't see, there are at least thousands upon thousands of its companions hiding!"
"We're... we're doomed..."
Fubuki sank into utter despair.
"I... tonight... there's absolutely... no way I can sleep..."
Finally, after dozens of minutes of fierce internal struggle.
Fubuki finally...
Still bowed her proud head to her nominal teacher.
Slowly, inch by inch, she moved from the other end of the sofa toward Ye Chuan, who had already lain down to sleep.
Then, in a shy voice even fainter than a mosquito's hum, she whispered:
"Um... well..."
"...I... tonight... could I..."
"...Could I sleep... together... with you?"
Ye Chuan sighed helplessly again.
Then he calmly nodded.
Late at night, moonlight spilled silently over the wool carpet like quicksilver.
The entire world seemed to have fallen into the deepest slumber.
On the sofa, Fubuki finally let down all her defenses beside Ye Chuan.
