After injecting the insecticide, Zhang Fan took a shower and then went back to his living quarters to sleep. The other three women, after confirming that the restaurant cabin door was securely closed, also cautiously went back to rest.

Zhang Fan lay in bed, his mind filled with thoughts, unable to fall asleep for a while.

Based on what I saw and heard today, the cockroach in the restaurant was at most of average size and was definitely not the larva that Liao Changtian claimed caused the cable damage.

Is it possible for cockroaches to fail to evolve?

No one knows what those 100 cockroaches sent to Mars went through in the past 100 years, how many of them survived, or whether they evolved in different directions.

But one thing is certain: they must have mutated.

Even that seemingly ordinary cockroach in the restaurant must be a mutated offspring. An ordinary cockroach couldn't possibly crawl from the Martian wild into an indoor space; they've adapted to the Martian environment.

It was already past midnight, and Zhang Fan decided to ask Liao Changtian in more detail tomorrow, preferably bringing the one from the restaurant as a sample.

Ding-dong, ding-dong—

The doorbell for the living quarters rang.

Is someone looking for me this late?

Zhang Fan got out of bed with some surprise and went to open the cabin door.

"Yui?"

Yui stood outside the cabin door, hugging a pillow, twisting and turning, her face flushed.

"Did you need something?" Zhang Fan was a little surprised. This was the first time Yui had come to see him so late. It would be impolite to let her stand at the door, but inviting her in would make him seem like he had ulterior motives. He was in an awkward position.

"Fan-kun, um..." Yui hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered her courage, "Can I go in?"

“Sure, of course.” Zhang Fan nodded vigorously. Since the other party had offered, there was no reason to refuse.

"Fan-kun, you don't seem to be afraid of cockroaches at all?" Yui asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Zhang Fan sat on the bed opposite Yui. This bed used to belong to Bob, but it hadn't returned since it moved to the central garden.

“I don’t think many boys are afraid of them, right?” Zhang Fan said with a smile. “They’re just small things, you can stomp them to death with one step. They should be the ones afraid of us.”

"The three of us are terrified, we don't know what to do." Yui hugged her pillow, hesitating to speak, "Um, um..."

"What's wrong?"

Can I sleep here tonight?

"Huh?" Zhang Fan was surprised. Such a good thing? Can a pie really fall from the sky?

"I'm a very quiet sleeper and I don't snore, so I definitely won't disturb you." Yui blushed. "I'm just so afraid of cockroaches."

"But the restaurant's cabin door is already locked..."

"But it's still in the base!" Yui covered her ears in fear. "They're everywhere!"

"Alright, alright." Seeing how scared Yui looked, Zhang Fan felt a little sorry for her. "Then you can sleep here tonight."

Since you've made this request so sincerely, I guess I'll have no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"Thank you, Fan-kun." Yui happily fell asleep.

"You're welcome." Zhang Fan thought to himself, "I should be thanking you."

But at this moment, Zhang Fan discovered an extremely serious problem—

There are two beds here.

Damn it!

Zhang Fan really wanted to slap himself. Bob had been gone for so long, why hadn't he moved this extra bed out? Was he going to keep it for the New Year?

But it's impossible to move the bed in front of Yui right now, so Zhang Fan could only sleep on Bob's bed, feeling incredibly frustrated.

The air seemed to be filled with the unique fragrance of a young girl.

The more this happened, the more Zhang Fan wanted to slap himself.

"Fan-kun?"

"Um?"

Are you asleep?

Not yet.

"Could you...could you come and sleep with me?"

? ? ?

!!

Zhang Fan was truly stunned. Was this swan meat being delivered into a toad's mouth on its own? Could such a good thing really exist in the world?

"I'm scared, is that okay?" came Yui's soft voice from the side.

"Um... okay!" If I were to be coy at a time like this, would I still be a man? Zhang Fan picked up a pillow and walked to Yui's bedside.

Yui had retreated to the inside of the bed, using a pillow to divide the 1.2-meter bed in two.

Ah, this...

What does that mean?

Zhang Fan could only lie down like that, with a pillow between him and Yui.

I could hear Yui's breathing, and I could see her cartoon pajamas out of the corner of my eye. All I could smell was the fragrance emanating from the girl.

what to do?

Do you want to be a beast, or worse than a beast?

"Fan-kun, do you know why I'm so afraid of cockroaches?" It was Yui's voice that always reached my ears.

“It’s normal for girls to be afraid of cockroaches,” Zhang Fan replied.

“No, no, no, I’m really terrified,” Yui continued. “I once had a cockroach crawl into my ear.”

"ah?"

“I was in kindergarten at the time. I remember it very clearly. It was an early autumn afternoon. The weather was a little cool. I was hiding under the covers, planning to take a nice nap. In my half-awake state, I felt something enter my ear.”

"I woke up immediately, screamed and jumped out of bed, bouncing around on the floor with my head tilted to the side. The other children were terrified, and the teacher thought I had been possessed by some evil spirit..."

"I cried out, 'Teacher, it feels like a cockroach got into my ear!' The teacher immediately took me to the infirmary. On the way, the cockroach would move every now and then. I could even feel its tentacles touching my eardrum. When it moved, my ear was very itchy, but I couldn't scratch it and I didn't dare to. I thought I was going to go deaf and cried all the way."

"After arriving at the infirmary, the doctor shone a spotlight into my ear, took a small pair of tweezers, and removed the cockroach!"

"When the cockroach came out, it was still alive!"

Yui covered her ears with both hands, her whole body trembling.

Zhang Fan felt a pang of sympathy and gently leaned over to pull Yui into his arms.

"It's okay, I promise you, not a single cockroach will be able to get near you again."

Upon hearing Zhang Fan's words, Yui nestled obediently in his arms like a kitten.

Time passed second by second...

Well……

Should I do something about it?

Zhang Fan decided to ignore everything and just kiss him. If he was rejected, they'd deal with it; if he wasn't…

Looking at Yui's luscious pink lips, Zhang Fan mustered his courage and prepared to make his move...

Ding-dong, ding-dong—

Damn it!

Who rang the doorbell at this hour?!

Ding-dong, ding-dong—

The doorbell was still ringing. Zhang Fan reluctantly let go of Yui, got out of bed, and went to open the hatch.

"Katerina?"

Katerina stood outside the cabin door, clutching a pillow, twisting and turning, her face flushed.

"You need something? Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Zhang Fan winked at Katerina, signaling her to leave immediately.

"Fan, um..." Katerina hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered her courage, "Can I go in?"

"No!" Zhang Fan answered decisively.

"Um, can I sleep here tonight...with Yui?" Katerina had already seen Yui inside.

"No!" Zhang Fan's voice was soft, but her tone was heavy, and it carried a pleading tone. "It's just not today, sister, please have some decency!"

"Are you trying to be rude?" Katerina barged in. "I'm sleeping with Yui tonight!"

"you……"

"Don't forget what you promised me?" Katerina raised an eyebrow at Zhang Fan. "Should I tell Yui now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan immediately backed down and had no choice but to let Katerina in.

Katerina came in and immediately took the bed next to Yui, so Zhang Fan had to go back to Bob's bed.

The swan meat that was almost in his mouth flew away. Zhang Fan was extremely depressed at this moment.

Sigh, go to sleep...

Ding-dong, ding-dong—

Holy crap!

I have such a bad temper!

Do you think this is a farmers' market?

Zhang Fan got up and went to open the cabin door.

"Teacher Su?"

Su Muran stood outside the cabin door, hugging a pillow, twisting and turning, her face flushed.

...

Three women and one man, two 1.2-meter beds, just enough for two people to sleep in one bed.

But now Yui would definitely be too embarrassed to sleep with Zhang Fan.

Katerina had the nerve to do that, it's not like she hadn't slept with them before, but she wouldn't dare do it now.

Su Muran is even less likely to be involved.

The final solution is:

Two beds were pushed together, and all three women slept on them, including Zhang Fan—

Sleep on the floor!

Damn it!

Zhang Fan, feeling extremely depressed, hugged his blanket and went to the door.

To make the girls feel safer, he was made to sleep by the cabin door as a "gatekeeper".

well……

It seems that for men, having more women isn't necessarily better.

A woman has meat to eat;

Two women can still sleep in one bed;

The three women were left to sleep on the floor...
