Fu Yiting returned to his room and placed Zhang Zhang from his pocket onto his tidy desk.
Then he pulled out a dust-covered cage made of pure gold from under his bed.
He carefully wiped the golden cage over and over again, and then put Zhang Zhang in it.
“This will be your home from now on.” Fu Yiting said domineeringly.
Fu Yiting wasn’t born with mysophobia, and his liking for cockroaches was not innate.
He looked at Zhang Zhang, who was jumping around in the cage, and his thoughts surged like a tide, recalling the thrilling kidnapping that happened more than a decade ago…
More than ten years ago.
Mr. Fu’s rival kidnapped Fu Yiting for business interests and wanted to use him as a threat.
Mr. Fu, that is, Fu Yiting’s father.
The kidnappers took Fu Yiting to a dark and damp warehouse and imprisoned him.
There, Fu Yiting saw the first cockroach in his life.
Before this, Fu Yiting, who lived in a high-end villa, had never seen such a small, dark and twisted creature.
Fu Yiting didn’t think much of this little cockroach at first, so the man and the cockroach maintained a mutual understanding of leaving each other alone.
The kidnappers would send Fu Yiting two hard steamed buns every day, but the spoiled Fu Yiting found such food difficult to swallow.
At least it should be served with some pickled mustard.
Fu Yiting pushed the plate of steamed buns aside.
Meanwhile, the cockroach in the crack seemed to smell the fragrance of the food, but it felt a little embarrassed because Fu Yiting was next to it.
The cockroach crawled towards Fu Yiting and shook its two antennae on its head, as if asking Fu Yiting to enjoy the delicious food in front of him.
“If you want to eat, just eat. No need to ask me.” Fu Yiting said coldly.
He would rather starve to death than eat this steamed bun.
But the cockroach still politely made a heart shape with its antennae to show its gratitude, and then it slowly crawled onto one of the buns and started to eat it.
It wasn’t greedy, it just wanted one steamed bun, hehe…
“Rumble—”
Late at night, Fu Yiting was so hungry that he couldn’t bear it anymore. He looked at the steamed buns on the plate, one was intact, and the other was in a pitiful state.
Fu Yiting was stunned for a moment.
It actually left one for him.
Fu Yiting looked at the cockroach sleeping soundly beside him, then picked up the whole bun and started to eat it. His eyes blurred in the darkness…
It smells really good.
After that, Fu Yiting and the cockroach seemed to have formed a tacit understanding. As long as he had a bite of food, he would definitely leave some for the cockroach.
The man and the cockroach lived in peace and harmony for a while.
“How long will I be locked up here?” Little Fu Yiting muttered to himself.
The cockroach had already become familiar and climbed onto Fu Yiting’s shoulder and patted him with its front legs.
Fu Yiting took the cockroach into his palm and said with a wry smile, “Luckily you are here.”
During this period, Fu Yiting often used the cockroach as a confidant. He talked about everything under the sun, and the little cockroach also acted as a good listener.
Fu Yiting thought to himself, “Doing this isn’t so bad after all.”
However, the peaceful days were eventually broken one day.
That day, the kidnappers stormed in viciously.
“Since you still haven’t paid the ransom by the appointed time, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” After saying that, the kidnapper took out a shiny knife, ready to kill Fu Yiting.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the cockroach next to him pounced on the kidnapper’s face without saying a word.
Due to the improvement in food during this period, the originally dull cockroach has now become shiny black, and the body became a whole circle larger than before.
It crawled all over the kidnapper’s face. It was dark and twisted, but it also wanted to protect the young master of the Fu family.
But the nimble cockroach was no match for the agile kidnapper, who grabbed the cockroach with his bare hands.
“Hmph, little bastard.” The kidnapper said sinisterly, then he exerted force with his hands and the cockroach exploded instantly.
The kidnappers threw the cockroach’s remains away.
The young Fu Yiting couldn’t help but tear up when he saw this scene.
He was so angry that he wanted to avenge the dead cockroach.
Fu Yiting rushed forward and bit the kidnapper’s hand that ended the cockroach’s life.
He seemed to still feel the remaining body temperature of the cockroach before it died on his hand.
However, the teenage Fu Yiting was no match for the strong kidnappers and was severely suppressed by them.
“Hmph, you’re just a small fry too,” the kidnapper said, raising the knife.
Just as the tip of the knife was about to fall on Fu Yiting, the police outside the door suddenly broke in and stopped the killing.
“Tingting, are you okay?” Mr. Fu anxiously followed the police into the abandoned warehouse. He hugged Fu Yiting in his arms with heartache.
In a corner where no one paid attention, Fu Yiting’s eyes were always on the crushed cockroach corpse that had burst with white liquid…
Fate is often so wonderful, even though their time together was short, Fu Yiting will remember it for the rest of his life.
Which boss doesn’t have a white moonlight in his heart? [1]
[1] The idiom “白月光” white moonlight symbolises a cherished person that holds a special place in one’s heart.
Later, Fu Yiting specially made this pure gold cage to commemorate the cockroach that died for him. He thought that if he could meet a cockroach similar to it one day, he would use this cage to imprison it.
Unfortunately, the high-end villa area held “Eliminate Pests and Promote Hygiene” activities every now and then, and Fu Yiting never saw any cockroaches again.
Later, he sealed this memory together with the pure gold cage under his bed.
Unexpectedly, this cage came in handy many years later.
“You have one last chance to leave.” Fu Yiting pretended to be relaxed, but his heart was in his throat.
If it dares to fly away…
However, Zhang Zhang rolled around happily in the cage.
Hehe, I’m living in a handsome guy’s house.
At this time, Zhang Zhang had not yet realized what a nightmare this man in front of her would become for her in the future.
Fu Yiting looked at Zhang Zhang who was locked in the cage. He ordered, “From today on, you will live in the Fu family.”
“I don’t mind letting you be a golden cockroach for the rest of your life.”
However, Fu Yiting still underestimated the flexibility of Zhang Zhang. As long as there was a slight gap, the cockroach could slip out.
Fu Yiting: …
Fu Yiting took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number skillfully.
“Assistant Lin, please customise a crystal transparent box for me.”
Fu Yiting looked at Zhang Zhang flying around in front of him.
“Oh, and a pair of handcuffs.”
“Pure gold.”
