I sit on the floor while staring at the box. Zhuo Cheng wonders what happens with me and Yibo. The curiosity takes over him, and he walks closer to the box.

"Fuck! Who is the crazy guy who will send this?" Zhuo Cheng cries.

I don't answer him. No one answers him. I saw Yibo leans on the wall breathless. And... And nothing better with me. I glance at my hands. I'm shivering. I touch my hand with the other one. It's cold.

"Zhan Ge!" I hear Yibo calls me. And a pair of hands grab my shoulders.

"Let's get inside the house..." Yibo says, helps me to stand up.

"What about this?" asks Zhuo Cheng.

Yibo glances at the box, then to Zhuo Cheng.

"Just dump it into the bin downstairs. Who wants the present like that?" replies Yibo.

"You throw!" says Zhuo Cheng.

"If you don't want, leave it there, then!" Yibo glares at Zhuo Cheng coldly.

What? Is he out of mind? How can he say just leave this gruesome thing here? In front of my doorway? I push Yibo away from me and I walk to the box.

"Zhan Ge!"

"Zhan!"

I ignore them. Tears trickle down my cheeks when I closed the box back, then I carry it.

"I'll do it!" Yibo takes over the box from me and walks to the lift and go down to throw the box contained the dead cat with the head almost fell off of his neck and its stomach has been cut to show the organs inside. And there is a nosegay too, maybe to disguise the rancid of the blood smell.

"Let's go inside...!" Zhuo Cheng holds my back and ushers me to go inside the house.

"Don't close the door!" I say when Zhuo Cheng is going to close the door.

"Why? What are you going to do with the open door?" asks Zhuo Cheng, confused.

"Yibo is coming back," I reply.

"What? But he is living next door!" Zhuo Cheng raises his voice a little.

"Just now he came out of his house. Maybe he wants to hang out with us...!" I say.

"Zhan! It's 1 AM already. For what he still loitering around outside?"

I stare at Zhuo Cheng who looks grumpy and angry.

"Just leave it open," I sigh, and walk back to the dining table.

I hear Zhuo Cheng huffs. But he doesn't close the door as I requested him. He follows me to the table.

"I'm going to take a shower and sleep. Make sure you close and lock the door later!" Zhuo Cheng says. He grabs his phone on the table.

I look at him and nod. Zhuo Cheng huffs. Again. Then he walks to his room.

"Cheng!" I call him.

Zhuo Cheng halts and turns around.

"What?" he scowls.

I smile at him sincerely. "Thanks!" I say.

"Mn," he responds and curt a nod. Then he walks again and enters his room. 

A bang from the door shakes the room. I shake my head. That is Zhuo Cheng's habit to bang the door whenever he closing it.

I look at my lappy. There is no new email coming right now. I check the comment section on my channel on the video I just uploaded. I scroll down throughout the comments to search maybe there are any weird comments again. The comments are nothing suspicious. And the Typo guy also never commenting again.
