The others looked at Qi Yanche and Cheng Zhi. Actually, there was nothing strange on their faces, but the atmosphere was a bit off.

They went out happily, but when they came back, the two of them stopped talking and their faces were devoid of smiles.

Xiao Feiran's first thought was that their mission to find the key had failed.

She gently poked Cheng Zhi's arm and asked, "You didn't find the key?"

As soon as he finished asking, Qi Yanche put the key on the coffee table. "Found it. We can close the door in a bit. Lu Yuan, remember to take the key to the 12th floor with you."

Since something didn't feel right here, Lu Yuan simply took over the conversation, "Let's go then, let's figure out how to seal this door more securely."

Seeing that the boys had walked away, Xiao Feiran asked freely, "Did you guys just have a fight? Why does Qi Yanche look so upset?"

Cheng Zhi, who was taking apart the key, shook her head. "No, he looks unwell because he's not feeling well."

After removing the key to the 12th floor, Cheng Zhi and the others went to check the door.

Chen Yi patted the sturdy fire door and said, "I don't think we need to block it up. It's already very secure."

Xiao Feiran twirled the tape in his hand. "We still need to seal the corners and edges, otherwise even small insects can get in."

Standing outside the door, Lu Yuan asked, "Do we need to stick it on now? If we do, I'll call the uncles and aunts back."

After chatting for so long, Cheng Zhi thought for a moment and then asked Lu Yuan to go and call for help.

After their parents returned, Lu Yuan and Shen Lingfeng went back to the 12th floor. Cheng Zhi wanted them to take two bottles of insecticide back with them, but they refused.

Shen Lingfeng waved his hand, "Really, there's no need. They already have two bottles. Besides, we're not afraid of bugs. If one or two get in, we can just kill them."

Cheng Zhi put the things back, and they started sticking tape everywhere, reinforcing the glass with a cross pattern, and sealing the gaps under the door. Basically, they sealed everything that could be sealed.

Looking at the room full of duct tape, Huang Yiyi felt somewhat safer.

Xiao Feiran, who was standing next to Huang Yiyi, patted her shoulder heavily and said, "I advise you not to sleep too soundly at night, or you won't even know if a cockroach has carried you away."

"Who talks like that?" Huang Yiyi said disdainfully, swatting the hand off her shoulder. "Don't jinx it, okay? We've sealed it very securely, there's absolutely no chance of any bugs getting in."

Cheng Zhi, who was squatting by the window, raised her head. "It's hard to say. Insects can get into anything. It's better to be vigilant."

Since both of them had said so, Huang Yiyi dared not disobey. "I'll set an alarm, okay? I'll get up and check every 30 minutes."

After saying this, Huang Yiyi suddenly realized something was wrong. She jumped up and exclaimed, "Damn it! I just realized that I'm sleeping alone in the living room tonight, and without Master Xiao by my side!"

Huang Yiyi finally discovered the key to the problem.

Cheng Zhi clapped for her, "Yes, otherwise why do you think we'd remind you? I have Xiao and you don't, hahaha..."

Huang Yiyi shook her head repeatedly, unwilling to believe it. "No, I absolutely can't be alone. Xiao, come with me!"

Standing between the two of them, Xiao Feiran was in a dilemma. "Don't make me decide. You can flip a coin, play rock-paper-scissors, or whatever. You can resolve this yourselves."

The problem returned to them. Cheng Zhi stood up, and Huang Yiyi also raised her fist.

Just when Xiao Feiran thought they were going to decide whether it was best of three or best of five, Cheng Zhi suddenly said, "Then Master Xiao, I'll lend it to you for two days."

"?!"

Huang Yiyi raised her fist, somewhat incredulous at what she had just heard. "Am I hallucinating? What's wrong with you? Why aren't you arguing with me?"

Cheng Zhi pointed to Cheng Ye in the room and said proudly, "Cheng Ye, a legendary man! He dares to catch cockroaches with his bare hands. He even almost swallowed a cockroach when he was a child. Isn't that amazing!"

The phrase "accidentally swallowing a cockroach" sounds both terrifying and disgusting.

Huang Yiyi and Xiao Feiran's expressions instantly became quite interesting, especially Huang Yiyi's mouth, which was wide open and couldn't be closed.

Xiao Feiran found it hard to imagine that scene, and she said with difficulty, "It's really not easy for Cheng Ye to still be alive now."

Cheng's mother, sitting on the sofa, kindly explained, "When Cheng Ye was just learning to crawl, he accidentally encountered a cockroach while crawling. He grabbed it and tried to put it in his mouth, but luckily I was quick enough to prevent it from touching his mouth."

No matter how many times Cheng Zhi heard this story, her expression remained distorted, as did Xiao Feiran and Huang Yiyi beside her.

Cheng Ye, his face full of worry, moved to the doorway. "My dear mother and sister, do I really need to tell everyone this story? Don't I have any pride?"

Seeing that her son was a little embarrassed, Cheng's mother laughed and said, "Oh, these are all things from when we were little. Everyone has a few embarrassing stories from their childhood. It's just for fun."

Cheng Zhi, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement, "That's right, we're all older sisters, it's harmless for us to listen to something."

Cheng Ye gave a fake smile for two seconds, stared at Cheng Zhi, and said, "Then can I tell everyone about the embarrassing things you did when you were little?"

Cheng Zhi laughed twice, "Hahaha, you can try it. If you dare to utter a single punctuation mark, I'll hang you outside to feed the bugs."

Cheng Ye: "..." Could you be any more blatantly hypocritical?

Xiao Feiran left with Huang Yiyi, so Cheng Zhi decided to sleep with her mother that night, so that Cheng Ye could sleep with her father instead of sleeping in the living room.
