Huang Mao sighed as he wiped the table in the bar. Today was quite busy at his day work. He wondered why the sudden rush of the customers at the convenience store. While him complaining silently, he heard the familiar voice calling out to his name.

"MaoMao!"

Standing straight, he automatically put on a polite smile and went to the other table. There was only one man at the table. "Yin ge. You're here tonight. Are you alone?"

Yin Chen laughed and he nodded his head, "yeah, everybody seems busy tonight."

Huang Mao smiled lightly, "Is it the usual?"

"You know me well." Yin Chen smiled; his face charming. He watched as Huang Mao went to send his order to the kitchen and bar.

Seeing Huang Mao didn't have customer, he called again for the young waiter.

"Yes, Yin ge. Do you need anything?"

Yin Chen shook his head, "How are you? Is there any customer bothering you?"

Shaking his head, Huang Mao sighed, "no one has bothered me since that day."

"That day?" Yin Chen furrowed his eyebrows. He demanded, "What happened?"

Ah... He didn't mean to tell that to other people. But, this regular customer that he called "Yin ge" was looking quite scary while he asked him.

Huang Mao unconsciously moved backward.

And Yin Chen saw the young waiter's move. He cursed silently and changed his face back to normal. "Sorry MaoMao... But, Yin ge just want to know what happened? Did you hurt or anything?"

Seeing that familiar face, Huang Mao sighed in relieve. He shook his head and smiled. "It's nothing, Yin ge. And I'm not hurt or anything." Then, he began to tell that night story to Yin Chen.

"That was dangerous. You don't know what kind of thoughts people have in their mind."

Yin Chen sighed and patted the waiter's arm. "How about this... Starting today, Yin ge will accompany you going back home. It'll be safer that way."

Huang Mao was touched by his regular customer's kind intent but...

"I don't want to burden Yin ge. My friend already has made it his job to send me back home." Huang Mao laughed in embarrassment. Maybe, he was the only adult man ever that needed someone to accompany him going home from job.

Yin Chen looked startled, "...friend?"

" Yes. My friend." Huang Mao smiled and nodded though he was confused why Yin Chen would be startled to hear he had some friend. Did he think he was a lonesome person?

Yin Chen seemed to be thinking something before he smiled at the younger man. "Then, that's good. Sorry for hogging your time. I'll pay extra later. I'm sure your boss will be fine and won't deduct your salary."

"Ah, thank you, Yin ge!"

After sending the order for his regular customer, Huang Mao was busy since it seemed there were more customers tonight. He was quite busy, being called here and there as he balanced a tray in his hands. He looked at the amount of customer and asked his fellow waiter, "What's going on? Why there are many patrons tonight?"

The waiter paused from wiping the table and pointed at the stage. "It seems there'll be a famous band tonight. It's The Youth."

"Band? The Youth?" Huang Mao looked confused.

His co-worker stared at Huang Mao in disbelief. His eyes seemed to say, "Where did this person come from? How could he didn't know what is The Youth?"

Huang Mao looked sheepish, "is it really famous?"

The waiter sighed as he shook his head. "They're the recent band that won that Popular Vote in that one famous magazine - Starline."

Huang Mao could only nod his head. Well, he hadn't had a time to enjoy the entertainment and all his time was spent working fulltime and part time. There was no way he would know about some popular music band or anything. Except for that one Film Emperor. The man was very famous, that even if Huang Mao didn't read entertainment magazine, he still knew about the man.

After all, Shi jie was a number one fan of Mr. Film Emperor.

Wei Long.

And Shi jie always talked about her male god during the work. Also, because the female coworker of his always talked incessantly, Huang Mao could consider himself as a walking dictionary of that film emperor.

Asked him anything about Film Emperor Wei Long and he would answer you, right away!

And the current hot news - according Shi jie - about the film emperor was, he was going to act in a boys love drama. This was really hot news and had been trending on Weipo for a month. He would act as a male lead in a transmigration drama. And it was even had the male pregnancy theme. Of course it would become such a controversy.

Nobody knew what exactly that man was thinking to accept that kind of drama.

Maybe, he was bored or maybe he just wanted to try something new. Huang Mao shrugged his shoulders as he continued with this task until the time for him to leave. After bidding goodbye to his coworkers, he walked to where Li Wei Qiang was waiting for him.

As usual, the man was standing near the lamp post. And from afar, Huang Mao could already make out his straight body and good bone structure. His long hair which was let loose swayed slightly from the night breeze. Coming near, he could see the sharp jaw of that man's handsome face.

"Wei Qiang, let's go home."

Li Wei Qiang nodded his head at the human silently and as usual, they walked the familiar road to the old apartment. Occasionally, Huang Mao would fill the silence between them. Even though, the man didn't answer but he had become used to it. He knew the taller man didn't like to speak but he was a good person, so, Huang Mao never minded it.

Suddenly, Li Wei Qiang stopped.

Huang Mao stopped walking and looked up at the handsome man. "What's wrong?"

Li Wei Qiang only furrowed his brows forming a deep crease. He stared at the direction of an alley before he turned to look at the shorter male. "Sorry, I need to do something. You can walk by your own."

Huang Mao didn't have time to say anything before the man left like a wind. Staring at the empty space beside him, he let out a sigh and continued to walk to his old apartment. After all, it wasn't that far already and if he crossed that junction, he could already see his home.

It was only a few steps before he felt something different. He could feel the hair on his body rise up in an alarm. Huang Mao stopped and looked around him in vigilance. The surrounding was calm and nothing unusual was happening... but, somehow it didn't lessen the alarm in him. He continued to walk to the direction of his home, his steps becoming even faster as he almost ran towards the old apartment.

Seeing the old building in front of him, Huang Mao almost sighed in relief. However, before he could feel relieve, he saw something out of corner of his eyes. He slowly turned his head towards the right side and saw a huge black thing standing there, with its eyes as red as the blood moon and the sharp and big fangs protruding from his big mouth. There were drools coming out of its sharp mouth.

Huang Mao felt his body weaken.

Stepping back, he stumbled on the road and fell down.

"Monster?! WTF!"
