    “Where’s the food? Did you come empty-handed?” Zhu Qingjue caught a glimpse of Chu Yu’s gaze and quickly put away the bottle. She curled her lips and said impatiently.

    “Just taking a look, I didn’t say I would give you food.” Chu Yu said, playing with the little hat in his hand, leaning against the door in a familiar manner, with no intention of leaving.

    Of course Zhu Qingjue saw the hat, and with just one glance, her face turned pale.

    “What is that? Where did you get it from? Give it to me!” She stood up suddenly to get it. The moment Zhu Qingjue stood up, the strange porcelain doll appeared beside her.

    The porcelain doll’s cheeks were rosy, her lips were slightly raised, but her empty eyes were filled with dead water.

    It stared straight at Chu Yu.

    After a few seconds, the doll disappeared again.

    Chu Yu turned the hat in his hand and stepped back: “I also like these little things. Do you play with bjd dolls? Where did you buy them? I also want to buy one for my toy.”

    Zhu Qingjue seemed to be stabbed. She said with trembling lips: “It’s not a toy, it’s my sister’s hat.”

    “Oh? Your sister’s name is Elizabeth? She’s also a foreigner.” Chu Yu turned his hat over, and the corners of his lips raised even more.

    It seemed that Zhu Qingjue couldn’t bear it any longer. She took a few steps forward and pulled the hat back from Chu Yu’s hand. She twisted the hat tightly in her hands and said, “Mind your own business! Go out and tell Director Liang that she doesn’t have to worry about whether I eat or not.”

    Chu Yu took a few steps back understandingly. As she stepped back, she took in all the furnishings in the room.

    Zhu Qingjue bit her lower lip tightly, her plump and beautiful lips were bitten and stained with red. She took a few steps forward and held the door with both hands, as if to see off guests.

    “I’m going to rest, you go out.”

    Chu Yu chuckled, she nodded, and when she turned around, she suddenly glanced at the sofa: “See you later, Elizabeth.”

    The door slammed shut, and the last bit of light was taken away. Standing in the dark corridor, the smile on Chu Yu’s face gradually turned cold.

    She could see clearly that the porcelain doll was no ordinary medieval toy.

    She has been in the industry for many years and has heard a little bit about some secrets in the industry. In order to become popular, many people are willing to spend a lot of money and use secret methods that kill one thousand enemies and lose ten thousand to themselves to maintain their short-term fame and fortune.

    There are those who use corpse oil to make lipstick, and there are also those who pay high prices for Buddhist amulets. Among them, the most famous and widely spread is GumanThong.

    Commonly known as raising imps.

    The serious Gumantong is made by eminent monks using incense ash, and is often used to attract wealth and ward off evil spirits. However, the output of orthodox eminent monks is very little, and the effect is not as fast as that of evil cultivators.

    This industry makes money very quickly and costs almost nothing, and an industry chain was born.

    The so-called “advanced monks” collect the bones of unknown children, and after blessing them with rituals, they fill the corpses into containers and sell them to foreigners at high prices.

    The buyer takes the little ghost home and takes care of it in every possible way. He provides fresh water ghosts, toys, snacks and other things that the child likes every day, and the little ghost fulfills her wishes.

    However, this practice is extremely dangerous. Not only can one’s reputation be ruined if exposed by the media, but the ghost worshiped at home every day may also be a lonely ghost in the suburbs.

    The wild ghost borrows the shell and hides in the buyer’s house, eating and drinking. If one day the buyer doesn’t get what he wants, he will suffer backlash.

    In her memory, she knew of several celebrities who died unexpectedly over the years, most of whom were killed by imps.

    Reminiscent of the red nails that Zhu Qingjue refused to take off, and the nails that fell off when she hurried past that day, Chu Yu’s fingertips grew colder inch by inch.

    Zhu Qingjue is a madman.

    “What are you thinking about?” Li Heru suddenly patted her.

    It snowed today, and the snowflakes stuck to the windowsill, forming a small snowdrift.

    Chu Yu suddenly came back to her senses while staring at Xue Piao. She shook her head to clear the messy thoughts from her mind.

    “It’s nothing, it’s almost Chinese New Year.” She pointed out the white window, and several firecrackers were heard downstairs, crackling and exploding into a string of red in the snow and fog.

    “Is this why you’ve been in a daze for so long?” Li Heru looked at her funny.

    Chu Yu nodded, her eyes fell on the car keys on the coffee table, she grabbed them and shook them at Li Heru: “Go buy new year’s goods.” She revealed a row of fine white teeth.

    The New Year is approaching, the crew is on holiday, and the streets are crowded with people. People who have been tired for a year can finally take a breather. Everyone has bags full of things in their hands, and their faces are glowing.

    Chu Yu frowned, grabbed the steering wheel and looked forward: “This parking space is a bit narrow.”

    Li Heru buried his face in his scarf and said in a muffled voice: “Drive in, and it will be mine if you rub against it.”

    “It’s so unlucky to celebrate the New Year.” Chu Yu said this, but still held the steering wheel in his hand and drove into the small parking space.

    There was a Range Rover parked next to this car. The Range Rover’s butt was tilted and it took up a quarter of their parking space.

    After Chu Yu tried several times, Kankan parked the car on the edge, half of the front of the car tilted out. If a large car came, there would be a risk of collision.

    “Let’s go, let’s talk about the collision.” Li Heru opened the door impatiently and left. Chu Yu had no choice but to lock the car and follow. When passing by the Range Rover, she vaguely saw a familiar object.

    On the passenger side of the Range Rover, there was a pink long-haired coat thrown casually, draped there like a flamingo.

    Chu Yu’s brows jumped and he vaguely guessed the identity of the owner of this car.

    Today was such a big day. She caught up with the big star going out to buy New Year’s goods in person. She shook her head and ran to the elevator in a few steps.

    “Window grille couplet lanterns! I want the kind that can light up and hang a string on the balcony.” Li Heru held her arm tightly and kept talking.

    Chu Yu pushed the cart against the current of the crowd. She was just slapped by an aunt’s green onion, and her foot was crushed by a grandma’s shopping cart.

    She had no choice but to use all her strength to control the car and squeeze it into the side shelf. There were few people there. She looked at the time and squeezed the car in as soon as a car left.

    “Okay, no problem, let’s go from the back.” Chu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead. The shelves on the side were mostly children’s toys, books, etc. There were few people on this road, and it was very convenient to get to the shelves with decorations from the corner in front.

    Sure enough, compared to the daily necessities area, this area can be said to be less visited.

    Li Heru seemed to be interested in everything. She stood next to the shelves of children’s toys, looked at the various imported toys stacked as high as the ceiling, and said with emotion: “Children today are so happy.”

    Chu Yu put her hands on the shopping cart and smiled. She turned around casually, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the woman squatting next to the doll shelf.

    The woman was wearing a close-fitting sweater, no jacket, and her face was covered with sunglasses, a mask, and a hat. She simply had the words “I’m famous, don’t recognize me” plastered on her face.

    But Chu Yu recognized her based on the five kodan-coated nails she stretched out towards the doll.

    Zhu Qingjue timidly reached out and quickly picked up a doll and threw it into the shopping cart. He looked around several times to make sure that no one was around to push the shopping cart.

    There were many sets of cosmetics stacked in her shopping cart, and they were all makeup. Chu Yu was a little puzzled.

    For people like Zhu Qingjue, there are piles of cosmetics from various brands, and she has to buy them herself.

    Not to mention the cheap cosmetics in supermarkets?

    When she pushed the shopping cart and walked forward, she and Chu Yu happened to look at each other on the only way.

    Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, with a bright smile on his face, and he stretched out his hand and waved to her gently, his acting skills were superb, as if he had just recognized her.

    Zhu Qingjue pulled down the brim of his hat, then quickly spun the shopping cart.

    Ran away.

    Chu Yu’s hand froze in place, and she withdrew a smile.

    “Who is that?” A pair of cold hands came up from the back of her neck, and the finger bones were stuck on her throat, full of flexible killing intent.

    Chu Yu swallowed hard, gently put his hand on the hand and said comfortingly: “My colleague.”

    “Colleague, are you smiling so happily? Why did she run away when she saw you?” Li Heru frowned slightly and said with dissatisfaction on his face.

    “What a colleague. This is why I got distracted today. Let me go and I’ll tell you.” Chu Yu lowered his head and wanted to place a gentle kiss on her fingertips, but Li Heru tightened his hand suddenly at this moment.

    The stuck in her throat tightened, and she almost vomited out yesterday’s dinner.

    “Are you distracted because of her?” Li Heru’s tone became colder and colder, and her hand became stronger and stronger.

    Chu Yu’s face turned red, and she pinched the back of Li Heru’s hand with her five fingers. Li Heru’s hands were extremely thin, so she couldn’t bear to use force, so she had to tap her gently. Unexpectedly, these few strokes annoyed her.

    The tiger’s mouth catches the chin and extends upward along the curvature of the neck.

    When a person is deprived of oxygen, blood desperately flows back to the brain, so her neck is hot, but her hands are cold, and every touch of her skin is infinitely magnified, and she trembles with her strength.

    Chu Yu’s eyes turned black, and the people in front of him gradually split into two, then four, then eight. When the world turned into a huge kaleidoscope, Li Heru finally let go of his hand.

    Chu Yu’s legs went weak and she fell to the ground. The cold floor aroused part of her consciousness. Li Heru looked down at her from above. She folded her arms and tapped her elbows with her jade-like fingertips.

    There were many figures in front of Chu Yu, and she reached out with difficulty: “Can you…listen to my explanation.”

    *

    “So, she raised Gumantong?” Li Heru touched his chin thoughtfully.

    Chu Yu leaned against the shelf and took a photo of her neck with her mobile phone. Her skin was fine and white, and a purple fingerprint appeared where she had just been pinched. The edges were still red, which looked very penetrating.

    Chu Yu sighed and put down her phone. “Yes, that’s why I kept an eye on her. I had absolutely no other intention.” She raised four fingers and said helplessly.

    Li Heru raised his neck slightly, his expression a little uncomfortable.

    After this interruption, neither of them was in the mood to go shopping in the supermarket.

    Chu Yu pulled the collar as high as possible. Fortunately, she was wearing a leather jacket with crisp fabric today. The collar was raised just enough to block her neck. She pushed the cart in front, and Li Heru followed silently.

    The lantern should be the kind that can light up. Chu Yu frowned and looked around while pushing the cart.

    The shelves selling lanterns were crowded with people. If she had come by herself, she would never have taken a step closer to this place, but Li Heru had been promised, and she had been talking about it all the way.

    Chu Yu gritted his teeth, and after looking at it, he determined that the gap was not big enough for her and the car to go in together, so she had to leave the car and squeeze into the crowd alone. While rubbing shoulders, she was stepped on several times by an old lady, which made her very embarrassed.

    After squeezing her way to the shelf, she saw clearly that the ones here were plush models without lights. She froze in front of the shelf, not knowing whether she should take it or not.
