Du Yanqing lowered his gaze and looked at the box, which contained some necessities that he had never opened before, and some toys that only children would play with. This caused her to feel slightly embarrassed. She pursed her lips and tactfully rejected, "Actually, we bought all of these things, so …"

Before Du Yanqing could finish his words, the landlord interrupted her: "Sigh, it's fine. In the future, you can use it.

His benevolent face revealed a trace of a bitter smile, and the gaze he looked at Du Yanqing with was compassionate. Unhappy memories welled up from the bottom of his heart, but he was unable to express them too much.

Du Yanqing was embarrassed to reject the kind landlord who was too insistent, so he could only accept the items. For some unknown reason, her father's memories appeared in her mind. She pursed her lips and thanked the people around her as she watched the landlord leave before closing the door.

Lu Juyan, who had just finished placing down the things he bought, witnessed everything. He did not obstruct those who were good to Du Yanqing, and did not interfere. He turned around and walked into the kitchen, preparing a delicious dinner.

Du Yanqing placed the items that the landlord had delivered to him aside, and went into the kitchen to help Lu Juyan. While she was helping Lu Juyan wash the vegetables, a lot of water spilled into the sink, wetting the floor quite a bit. Her foot slipped, causing her to almost fall over.

Lu Juyan caught Du Yanqing's waist and pulled her into his embrace. It was unknown whether it was because Lu Juyan had used too much strength, or because of inertia, the two of them kissed mouth to mouth.

"The pot is cooked. "No, the dishes in the pot are cooked!"

In a moment of panic, Du Yanqing subconsciously pushed Lu Juyan away, and his gaze landed on the pot at the side. Looking at the steam boiling, he pointed and spoke to Lu Juyan.

Her actions were as cute as a frightened squirrel, causing Lu Juyan to swallow the accusation he was about to blurt out. He sighed helplessly in his heart and hooked the tip of her nose. However, he smiled as he lifted the lid of the pot. The fragrance of the pot wafted into the air.

Lu Juyan skillfully took the dishes out and told Du Yanqing to carry the dishes out. He turned and walked out of the kitchen, carrying a mop that he used to mop up the water stains on the floor.

After the two finished their meal, each of them took a bath. The entire day passed with the descent of the night. As sleepiness overcame them, the two of them bid each other good night before returning to their respective rooms.

In the middle of the night, Du Yanqing woke up from her sleep. The slightly parched throat made her subconsciously walk out of the bed and towards the drinking fountain in the living room in the dark.

The night light shone down from the balcony, Du Yanqing drank all the water in the cup, alleviating the slight stabbing pain in his throat. Her sight inadvertently fell on the window and she vaguely saw a hazy human figure, causing her to feel a trace of doubt.

Du Yanqing who was walking towards the window opened the window just in time to see a head being hung on the window. A flash of lightning illuminated the room. At the same time, it also revealed the ferocious expression of the head. In the next moment, the sound of thunder could be heard.

Du Yanqing trembled from the fear and the cup in his hand fell to the ground and the glass shattered, creating a loud noise. She was so scared that her legs gave way and she fell onto the sofa behind her. Even when the glass splashed against her white legs, she didn't feel any pain.

When the sleepy Lu Juyan heard the sound of glass shattering, he immediately sat up from the bed and lifted the blanket that was covering him. He then walked into the living room and switched on the light. His gaze landed on Du Yanqing who was sitting on the sofa and saw the head of the beast.

Thunder sounded again, causing Du Yanqing to curl up in fear. He had a panicked expression on his face, and his entire body seemed exceptionally weak.

"Don't be afraid with me around!"

Lu Juyan strode like a meteor to Du Yanqing's side, and held her in his arms. Feeling her trembling body, her deep eyes were full of pity as she comforted her emotions in a low voice. He didn't feel the slightest bit of fear towards the head by the window, silently pondering in his heart whose masterpiece this was.

Du Yanqing felt the familiar warmth from Lu Juyan's body, and his emotions slowly calmed down. The fear in her heart forced her to grab onto the corner of Lu Juyan's clothes, not willing to let go.

She consciously looked away from the window and closed her eyes. The image of the head appeared in front of her eyes once again, causing her body to tremble.

Lu Juyan, who was comforting Du Yanqing, took her into his embrace and carefully advised her for a long time before letting her sleep.

Even though he was sleeping soundly, Du Yanqing had still tightly gripped onto the corner of Lu Juyan's clothes, causing him to feel great pity for him. He pulled a pillow from her bosom and took off his suit jacket before placing it on the table.

Lu Juyan walked out of Du Yanqing's room and intentionally closed the door. He went to the balcony, took out his cell phone and called 110, and described the situation.

In less than half an hour, the sound of police cars coming from downstairs woke up many people from the neighborhood. The police hastily went upstairs. Lu Juyan opened the door and everyone looked at the head of the car with surprise.

"Ju Yan!"

Before the police could take the head away, Du Yanqing had already shouted out Lu Juyan's name from within the bedroom. Everything in front of her made her especially afraid, as if there was something terrifying that caused her body to become extremely stiff.

Lu Juyan, whose heart was tied to Du Yanqing, rushed into her bedroom. He turned on the light in her bedroom, and without hesitation, he pulled her into his embrace and comforted her in a low voice. Her originally stern expression became much gentler, changing her attitude for the sake of her alone.

Many neighbors and curious people gathered around. Seeing the heads hanging by the windows, even those who were bold were startled. He left the room and informed the others around him.

"Mr. Lu, can I ask if you guys can go to the Public Security Bureau to record your statement?"

Several policemen would patrol the house for a week and persuade the residents to return to their rooms. A policeman watched the two of them and didn't intentionally disturb them. After packing the heads to avoid scaring the others, the policemen finally arrived at the door of the two rooms and asked.

Without much objection, the two of them followed the police and walked out of the district. They got into the police car together. When he returned home, Du Yanqing was extremely fearful from the bottom of his heart. He tightly held onto the corner of Lu Juyan's clothes.

She stayed by Lu Juyan's side all night, not moving an inch away from him. The two of them laid on the same bed. Only when they were near Lu Juyan did her heart feel a lot more at ease. She was still curled up in her embrace, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she slept uneasily.
