Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

Page 168

Not only humans consider it a monster.

Rats and cockroaches also strongly reject it, refusing to acknowledge its identity and excluding it from their group.

It was abandoned at birth, and the two groups even sat down for a seminar to try and find out who its parents were.

Unfortunately, there were no leads.

Perhaps its parents are already dead.

Perhaps he has already hidden himself away; 77 dares not take responsibility for his mistakes.

The poor cockroach rat became the target of everyone's anger; both groups cursed it as a lowly species and even joined forces to try to kill it.

There was nothing it could do but hide.

We've survived together until now.

The cockroach rat's life took a turn when Zeng Xiaoxian appeared; he was the first human it had ever seen.

It couldn't help but want to get closer to the other, seeking warmth.

Its genes, ingrained in its very being, tell it that humans despise cockroaches and rats, even though it is neither a cockroach nor a rat, but a cockroach-rat.

But they were also very careful, afraid of scaring the other person.

When Zeng Xiaoxian came back, she watched him silently from the corner, and while he was sleeping, she secretly approached him and touched his cheek.

At this moment, its troubled heart feels calm, and its loneliness is relieved.

However, happy times pass by very quickly.

Because rats and cockroaches come out to forage at night, they will pounce on it and kill it if they see it.

So it had to hide quickly before they found it.

"I'm ugly, but I'm very gentle."

The cockroach rat whispered this in Zeng Xiaoxian's ear more than once.

Unfortunately, humans don't share the same joys and sorrows as cockroaches and rats, especially since it's a cockroach-rat.

It assumed Zeng Xiaoxian definitely wouldn't understand.

The truth is, Zeng Xiaoxian was sleeping like a log and didn't hear a thing.

Days passed, until the day Zeng Xiaoxian moved.

When they realized that Zeng Xiaoxian was about to leave.

The cockroach rat was heartbroken and depressed for a long time.

We've gotten used to Zeng Xiaoxian's presence; now that he's gone, it won't last much longer either.

"No! I can't lose him!"

The cockroach-rat cried out in despair.

In the end, it decided to follow in Zeng Xiaoxian's footsteps, hid in his closet, left that dirty and dark little place, and came to Love Apartment.

When the cockroach rat stepped out of the closet and saw the entire suite, it was stunned.

It's so spacious and bright! Unlike typical cockroaches and rats, it doesn't like dark and dirty environments.

Compared to that…dark room.

This place is simply... heaven.

Most importantly! There are no swarms of cockroaches and rats here.

They will not be looked down upon or humiliated.

It's decided! It will live here forever and ever, and of course, Zeng Xiaoxian must be there.

These days, it has been keeping a close watch on the four people living with it, especially Zeng Xiaoxian.

Even horses can stumble, and cockroaches and rats can go deaf.

Unexpectedly, the man and woman discovered him while he was sleeping.

Seeing how frightened the two of them were.

To be honest, it was also in a complete panic.

It squeaked as if trying to explain.

But the other party didn't understand at all; it just kept throwing things at it while yelling incoherently.

"Calm down, you two idiots!"

The cockroach rat was enraged and wanted to approach them to prove that it meant no harm and perhaps make friends.

The result was far from ideal.

They were even more frightened.

They ran away in a panic and locked it inside.

Recalling its recent predicament, the cockroach rat felt extremely aggrieved.

But no one will comfort it.

Since no one is going to comfort me, I'll just have to comfort myself.

The cockroach rat thought to itself, then flapped its wings and entered Zeng Xiaoxian's room, landing on his large bed. The familiar scent quickly soothed its soul.

Then it started rubbing against the pillow.

Just as it was lost in its own world, footsteps sounded.

The cockroach mouse, quick-witted, immediately hid.

Am I seeing things?

Zeng Xiaoxian rubbed his eyes; he thought he had just seen a dark shadow flash by.

"Hmph, none of you believe me. I'm going to draw a picture of what a cockroach rat looks like and show it to you."

In the living room, Guan Gu Shenqi was rambling on and on.

"Guan Gu's brain has completely gone malfunction."

While complaining, Zeng Xiaoxian plugged his phone into the charger, then left the room to go play next door.

He didn't notice that a pair of small eyes were secretly watching him from the corner, their gaze gentle, until the moment he disappeared from sight.

Chapter 196: Finally Admitted!

Su Mingyang, Lin Wanyu, and Hu Yifei returned from the bar and ran into Zeng Xiaoxian, who was on his way to visit 361.

Upon seeing him, Su Mingyang casually asked, "How was it, Teacher Zeng? Did you run into any cockroaches or rats?"

"Ha, forget about cockroaches and rats, I didn't even see a single rat dropping."

Zeng Xiaoxian said dismissively, "I must say, you cartoonists have such... rich imaginations."

Su Mingyang shrugged.

"If you ask me, if there really are cockroaches and rats, they must have been brought over from the apartment you lived in before, Zeng Xiaoxian."

Hu Yifei said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu had a sudden inspiration, "Mingyang, do you remember those big rats we encountered in that apartment?"

"I remember now."

Su Mingyang guessed, "So, the cockroach rat really does have some connection to you, Teacher Zeng."

"Don't talk nonsense! How could that be?"

Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes.

"How is that impossible? Why didn't it happen before, but it appeared as soon as you came back?"

Hu Yifei retorted.

"how could I know"

Zeng Xiaoxian avoided eye contact, "Besides, do you guys really believe in such things?"

"I don't care what it is, I just think it's... something you brought."

Hu Yifei said confidently.

"A real man doesn't fight a tiger. Think what you want."

Zeng Xiaoxian was speechless for a moment.

"You call yourself a tough guy?"

Hu Yifei looked Zeng Xiaoxian up and down, her eyes filled with disdain.

"I admit I'm not Wu Song, okay?"

Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes.

What do you mean by that?

Hu Yifei narrowed her eyes slightly.
