Shen Muqing could no longer bear to look at him; even in death, his desires remained so strong.
However, she forgot that she was the one who didn't arrange an official pairing for him. In her comics, villains are naturally focused on their careers, and a love-struck person can't be a villain.
This can be considered a cause and effect, you reap what you sow.
Ever since Shen Muqing was able to see him, Cang Jin has become very unrestrained, appearing and disappearing unpredictably and often scaring her half to death, but Shen Muqing cannot complain at all, because she dares not.
"Qingqing~"
She had a fever again. Shen Muqing straightened her clothes. Today was her outfit for the exchange meeting, so she dressed modestly, prioritizing comfort and appropriateness.
"Stop messing around. I have important business to attend to today. Will you stay home and wait for me?"
Shen Muqing cupped his face and kissed him, pleadingly saying, "I'll be back tonight."
"Don't talk to strange men, or else..."
"Okay! I'll be right back after I finish."
Cang Jin sat on the sofa, holding a teacup. Although he couldn't drink it, it didn't stop his hands from itching. It was as if he had to have something in his hand. Shen Muqing glanced at it and exclaimed, "Wow, whose ancient-style boyfriend is this?"
Oh, it's hers.
"I'm leaving."
"etc."
Cang Jin had already arrived at the entrance. Shen Muqing had one foot outside and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Can I come with you?"
"Ghosts shouldn't be able to go out during the day, right?"
"I am not a ghost."
Cang Jin stubbornly defended himself, arguing that how could such a lowly creature as a ghost be compared to him?
"You're not a ghost?" Shen Muqing's voice rose and fell, clearly expressing doubt. If you're not a ghost, then am I?
"I don't care, I'm going with you." His figure flashed to the door and stood behind Shen Muqing.
"Alright, alright."
Anyway, no one else could see it. Shen Mu only found out by checking the takeout orders and the delivery guy's reaction. She was washing fruit in the kitchen when Cang Jin suddenly opened the door, which startled the delivery guy quite a bit.
Shen Muqing explained that the door was not closed and the wind blew it out. The delivery guy looked at the door suspiciously and walked away.
Cang Jin stood there dumbfounded at the door, completely unaware that he was scaring others, just like he had scared her before.
"You can't open the door yourself next time, understand?"
"Why?"
Cang Jin was very curious about everything in the modern world. Shen Muqing taught him a lot of things and even bought him a mobile phone, registered an account for him, and taught him how to use it.
That way he won't keep bothering me, and he'll become curious about new things instead.
So the person replying to your messages online might not be a person, it could be a ghost!
"You'll scare people," Shen Muqing said speechlessly, pulling him to sit on a stool. He couldn't eat human food, so he could only watch Shen Muqing eat.
But every time Shen Muqing finished eating, he would always lean over and ask for a kiss, saying that tasting her lips was like tasting the delicious food.
"That's because he's a coward, it's none of my business."
"No means no. If you don't listen, I won't let you kiss me."
Cang Jin frowned and responded with an "Mm." It was rare to see him so frustrated, and Shen Muqing found it amusing, gradually figuring out how to control him.
On the way, in the taxi, Shen Muqing told Cang Jin not to move around and clicked his tongue in displeasure.
The driver thought she was talking to him and asked, "What's wrong, young lady?"
"It's alright, sir, you can drive."
Shen Muqing held Cang Jin down, warning him not to move, and she really regretted bringing him out.
Shen Muqing in the car behaved differently from ordinary people. The driver was driving very fast, and the girl he was picking up seemed to be mentally unstable, constantly making expressions and talking to thin air.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Before he could finish speaking, the driver stepped on the gas and drove off. Shen Muqing said, "Fu."
"It's all your fault. Cang Jin told you not to move around."
Shen Muqing glared fiercely at the air beside him, her tone unpleasant.
"I didn't move."
Cang Jin spoke innocently, and if you ignored his groping in the car, his words were quite deceptive.
"If you continue like this later, I won't take you out next time."
"It won't happen again next time."
Cang Jin followed closely behind Shen Muqing like a dutiful daughter-in-law, never leaving her side.
The exchange meeting was held at a resort on the outskirts of the city, where everything had been prepared in advance, just waiting for the authors to arrive.
When Shen Muqing went in, there were quite a few people inside, all chatting and gathering in twos and threes. Only Shen Muqing was hiding in a corner, eating pastries by herself.
Of course, this is only how she appears to outsiders; Cang Jin is by her side.
Because of her work, Shen Muqing has been staying at home, and her skin is several shades lighter than the average person's. Even though she only wore a little makeup, she still stood out in the crowd.
Several male authors with some fame tried to communicate with Shen Muqing but were rejected by her, which led to fewer people going forward to avoid the awkward situation.
"Are you satisfied with this?" Shen Muqing said softly.
"Yes, Qingqing did a great job."
Cang Jin made the right choice. If he hadn't come, Shen Muqing might have been seduced by some random man, and he would have had no one to blame but himself.
The once quiet hall instantly erupted in excitement as the door opened, for the male lead, Zhou Linqian, had arrived.
This terrifying responsiveness is enough to demonstrate his status in the industry.
Shen Muqing looked at the man who entered the hall. He was followed by an assistant. She had seen his photos online; he seemed very humble.
To the naked eye, Shen Muqing gave off a strange feeling that was hard to describe. He seemed to be gloomy and gave off a cold aura.
Could it be that he's been drawing too many horror-themed works?
"Qingqing, stare at him for a minute."
Cang Jin turned her head back, preventing her from looking at Zhou Linqian any longer.
"I'm doing serious business, don't bother me." Shen Muqing brushed his hand away, not wanting him to disturb her.
"He's not good."
Cang Jin immediately categorized Zhou Linqian as dangerous upon seeing him, as he possessed an aura that was similar to, yet not quite, that of his kind.
"Qingqing, you need to stay away from him, he's dangerous."
How did you know?
Shen Muqing, sitting in the corner, was almost unnoticed, which allowed her to communicate with Cang Jin so naturally.
"I don't know, I just feel... he gives me a bad feeling."
Zhou Linqian was invited up on stage as soon as he arrived to give his opening remarks.
His face was beaming with smiles, seemingly welcoming everyone warmly, but his gaze was actually fixed on Shen Muqing in the corner, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
The opening remarks were very polite, and the audience members gave him face by applauding enthusiastically.
After he finished speaking, he stepped down from the stage, and the exchange officially began. Everyone was free to move around and chat, sharing their creative experiences.
After Zhou Linqian stepped down from the stage, he went straight to Shen Muqing's seat, and everyone's eyes followed him to Shen Muqing.
Because there was only Shen Muqing in that direction, and no one else, except for Cang Jin, who was not human.
