In a gruff voice, Caishen said to her out of nowhere. "From now on, if you see any snakes, spiders, cockroaches or things you don't like, just tell me and I will kill them for you."
She used her left hand which was free to cover her mouth. She was torn between screaming girlishly or laughing at him. How he could say that with a straight face, she could not fathom. He had to embarrassed because he was avoiding her eyes.
She decided to play around so she said, "In that case, since I have my own personal cockroach killer we should turn the car around so that you can pay a visit to my old apartment. There is this one cockroach that I could never kill no matter how hard I tried. It was white, and it used to make a scary sound whenever it flew."
She frowned in distaste as she recalled the unwelcome creepy roommate that she named nemesis. Hopefully that bug had not stowed away and followed her to Blossom courts.
"Maybe later." Caishen replied.
