Before leaving the house, Yue made sure to take the paper bag from aunty Ling and filled it up with crushed up newspaper. This was to make an impression that he came out with the bags he went in. Those three people might still be around this area.

If they get even a gist that he had given manager mu these groceries, they might come to attack them.

In his books it was better to be precautious than not.

"I'll get going aunty; I'll come by soon, okay. Stay safe and don't open the door to anyone else, yeah?"

"Yes yes... dear boy stay safe." She gently kissed his cheeks.

Yue smirked widely and ran out.

On the hindsight he saw aunty Ling close the door.

With the two bags in hand, he ran down the stairs to the street.

His eyes always searched for traces of those three men in the vicinity. Thankfully, they were nowhere in sight.

'My attack must have scared them away,' he thought with a smirk on his face. He too did not fancy hurting human but if he had to he will do it.

Having this thought, his mind inadvertently thought about the day in that observatory... he killed so many in a dazed state.. When he came out of it, he was surrounded by dead bodies everywhere.

Even he did not remember what happened in there. It was all just a blur.

'I can't let go of my control.. I can't become monstrous like that. The only solution is to become strong,'

He vow in his heart as he neared Peng Peng's place.

It was a cozy house with a small yard and fencing. He opened the fence door and walked in to the dusty-looking door.

Spiders had already claimed this spot as their favourite hunting ground, spooling out so many webs in every corner.

'What the heck!'

He hurriedly knocked on the door. "Peng Peng! Are you in there? can you hear me?"

'Did he collapse or.... did he get sick? No, mum told me that Peng Peng made it. Why is the house in such a state?'

The door opened suddenly, scaring his panicked heart.

A distraught looking Peng opened the door. He looked expectantly at him, but as soon as he saw him, the shimmer in his eyes went away.

"ah Yue.... come in,"

"Peng Peng!" he hugged him tightly. "What happened to you?" he caressed his oily hair. "Who are you? Where is my Peng Peng who cared so much about his hair?"

He had a fucking beard, his hair was oily and his cheeks were sunken in.

Peng Peng softly chuckled. "I'm still the same." He pulled him in and closed the door. "Where have you been? The last I heard you were in H city. How did you?.."

"It took me a long time, but I got back home..." Yue held his sticky hands. Weirdly, it felt like syrup. "let's get you cleaned up,"

He pulled Peng Peng into the kitchen and helped wash his hands.

The further he walked in, he saw the mess the whole house was in.

It was a studio apartment with a single bedroom and a kitchen, but every spot in this place was filed with beer cans and wine bottles.

"I knew it," he sighed, glancing at him. "You really survived on wine, didn't you?"

"Not intentionally. Just soothing my wounded heart,"
