TICFL Chapter 15

Zhang Zhang lay quietly in the crystal vessel like sleeping beauty, and the time around her seemed to have stopped flowing.

 

She spent a week motionless.

 

During this period, Fu Yiting was anxious and frequently summoned the veterinarian to check on Zhang Zhang’s condition.

 

Fu Yiting ordered the veterinarian to give Zhang Zhang a nutrient solution every day, hoping that she would wake up as soon as possible, but every time he got only endless disappointment.

 

“Why don’t you just give up…” The veterinarian suggested to Fu Yiting helplessly after completing today’s infusion.

 

“No! I will never give up!” Fu Yiting’s eyes were red and tears were rolling down his eyes.

 

For him, this little cockroach is irreplaceable, it is so unique and precious. If Zhang Zhang can really wake up, he must tell it his feelings.

 

“It will definitely wake up.” Fu Yiting’s tone was firm and full of affection.

 

“Alas… why are you doing this?” The veterinarian sighed and left silently.

 

Fu Yiting stared at Zhang Zhang, gently stroked its antennae, and murmured to himself: “Little cockroach, you must wake up quickly…”

 

However, in a corner where no one cared, two cockroaches quietly stretched out their antennae.

 

“Brother cockroach, that’s the boss!” A female cockroach was distressed.

 

“Humph, damn human beings, they actually hurt the boss so badly!” Another male cockroach responded angrily.

 

“We have worked hard for a long time, and the plan is almost done. Let’s rescue the boss.” The female cockroach seemed to think of something and was a little shy.

 

The male cockroach agreed and matched his antennae with the female cockroach, “We will act tonight.”

 

…..

 

At night.

 

In the toilet.

 

The butler was using the toilet and suddenly felt itchy behind his butt, as if something was scratching him.

 

He wanted to ignore this strange feeling, but the itching became more and more intense, and he had to reach out and scratch it.

 

It was actually a cockroach!

 

No, not just one cockroach crawling out of the toilet—there was a whole swarm! A massive swarm!

 

The butler was immediately frightened and rushed out of the toilet without pulling up his pants.

 

…..

 

In the kitchen.

 

The servant was cooking.

 

The servant picked up a fresh cabbage and prepared to cut it into even strips, but as soon as the knife in her hand fell, she encountered some obstacles.

 

She cut it hard with a knife, and saw that a cockroach was cut in half! The poor cockroach’s body broke apart, and sticky goo everywhere.

 

The servant’s hair stood up all over her body, and she threw away the knife and the vegetable together.

 

After finally calming down, the servant decided to change the vegetable to cut. She picked up a cabbage with trembling hands and was about to cut it, but suddenly found that there seemed to be something on the chopping board.

 

She was horrified to find a cockroach lying on the chopping board with its legs crossed, as if it was saying “hi~” to the servant.

 

…..

 

In Fu Yirou’s room.

 

Fu Yirou was preparing the bath water, sprinkling rose petals, and preparing for a relaxing bath.

 

When she stepped into the bathtub, something black was floating on the bath water.

 

Could it be withered petals?

 

Fu Yirou thought: The petals prepared by the servant were too low quality, and they withered so quickly.

 

She reached out to take the “petals” away, but when she looked closely, she found that they were cockroach wings.

 

Then she saw seven or eight cockroaches emerging out of the bath water.

 

“Ahhhh——”

 

…..

 

In the study.

 

Fu Yiting  was still reading the book titled Battle Royale: The Boss of Society’s Misfits Just Blew Up!

 

Yes, that book was actually published!

 

He gently turned the next page, and a huge cockroach suddenly appeared between the pages!

 

Fu Yiting closed the book with a “bang”, sealing the cockroach in the book forever.

 

Unlike Fu Yiting’s calmness, the whole villa had already fallen, and dense cockroaches could be seen everywhere, surging like a tide.

 

The whole villa was in a mess, and two cockroaches took a big sip while it was hot. [1]

 

[1] The phrase “趁热喝了一大口” (chèn rè hē le yī dà kǒu), literally meaning “took a big sip while it was hot,” it plays on the concept of taking advantage of an opportunity while it’s still fresh or “hot.” The phrase humorously depicts the chaos in the villa as an opportunity that the cockroaches are eagerly “drinking up” or enjoying.

 

…..

 

And the initiator of all this was the two cockroaches that hid in Fu Yiting’s leg hair and came to the villa!

 

When they learned that their cockroaches were killed and their leader Zhang Zhang was controlled, they realised that they could not compete with Fu Yiting with their insignificant strength.

 

So, the two cockroaches resolutely took on the sacred mission of revitalising the cockroach clan.

 

They mated crazily in every corner of the villa, day and night, without stopping! Every union gave birth to new life, and countless egg sheaths were left behind!

 

Finally, after a long wait, these egg sheaths began to hatch one after another, and a huge army of cockroaches was born.

 

Now they are “warrior cockroaches”!

 

They are aggressive and have only one goal – to retaliate against the Fu family…

 

Author: (Hahahahaha yuck hahahahaha yuck sorry, I can’t stand it either yuck) [2]

 

In the Chinese raw, the “yuck” is “yue”. Yue is pronounced like “yoo-eh” in this context is an onomatopoeic expression in Chinese that mimics the sound of someone gagging or feeling disgusted, similar to saying “ew” or “yuck” in English.
