Damn! Demon girl!

How could an ordinary person hide in such a place? Even a thief being chased would have some dignity! I felt something sticky on my hand, suspecting it might be a dead mouse.

Oh dear... How could you guess that I'm hiding here? Can't you just give me some face and walk past quietly?

But it's obviously impossible for me to jump out now. Judging from her suspicious voice, Xi Qiao is also not sure if I'm hiding here. After all, this place is full of garbage, and only a person with a mental problem would hide here.

Luckily, I'm wearing a helmet, so my face isn't covered in disgusting garbage liquid. But the feeling of hiding here is still terrible, and I feel like I'm about to break down physically.

However, Xi Qiao, don't underestimate me! I'm not as simple as you think!

Footsteps gradually approached, and it's obvious that Xi Qiao is standing in front of the trash can. I held my breath, waiting for her next move.

"Clang." The lid of the trash can was opened. Xi Qiao and I remained silent, as if time had stopped.

"..."

"..."

Eventually, after a long wait, Xi Qiao closed the lid and left, as I heard her footsteps slowly fading away.

In the darkness, I continued to wait. I don't know how long it took, but I finally stood up.

"Ugh——"

Unable to bear it any longer, I took off my helmet and vomited rainbows. This was no place for humans, and I'm covered in filth.

After vomiting the food in my stomach, I glanc..."What the hell? How do you know Xi Qiao wants me to marry her?"

For some reason, I feel like I've been kept in the dark all this time. Have our parents agreed on this and I'm the only one who doesn't know?

"Huh? Didn't your dad tell you?"

My mom's voice was full of shock, while my dad's voice came from the side, saying, "I thought you talked to him..." Instantly, my heart was filled with gloom.

You two... Did you have me for fun?

"Oh, sorry, I thought you knew about it all along." My mom's voice was full of apology.

I don't know anything! No one ever told me! It seems you're all in this together! I'm the only one who doesn't know about my own marriage!

"What exactly is going on here..." I felt an unbearable headache.

However, just then, the sound of a key being inserted into the door lock came from the entrance.
