Chapter 235 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 17 (2/2)

An Su’s face paled as she attempted to force her logic. “But you were the one that killed the hate spirit in the end.”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Simply unreasonable.’

Shi Sheng turned to leave. Seeing this, An Su hurriedly followed her. “Ghost-jiejie, are you living together with Mr Feng?”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘How’s it any of your business who I live with?’

“Ghost-jiejie, can I follow you? Ghost-jiejie… don’t fly so quickly…”

Not long after they left, Nalan Ying appeared out of nowhere. He frowned as he scanned the surroundings before vanishing once more.

……

Shi Sheng couldn’t shake off the female lead in the end. ‘This person’s a fucking magnet for evil spirits. Everywhere we go, they find us.’

Once they’d reached Feng Jin’s apartment, An Su was stunned by the bare interior upon taking a step in. ‘Did Mr Feng just move in? It’s so clean…’

“Who let you just pick up a random person?” Feng Jin’s face turned black, uncaring as to whether or not An Su saw his expression. ‘And you just HAD to pick up Nalan Ying’s woman of all people!’

“I didn’t pick anyone up,” Shi Sheng replied with an honest expression.

“Then why did she follow you back?” Feng Jin’s expression turned even darker. ‘I don’t believe that woman could find her way here by herself.’

“Dunno, perhaps she’s coveting my beauty,” Shi Sheng started spouting bullshit. “You know beauties like me attract everyone regardless of age or gender…”

Feng Jin, “…” ‘Feel like I’m going to explode.’

An Su couldn’t bring herself to curse at Shi Sheng’s narcissism right now. She retreated behind Shi Sheng out of fear. “Ghost-jiejie, Mr Feng looks very angry…”

‘He won’t chase me out, will he?’

Reality proved that An Su wasn’t just thinking too much; Feng Jin really did chase her out. ‘What do you take my house for? Think you’re allowed to come in whenever you want? Think it’s that easy?’

Shi Sheng could only give An Su an ‘I can’t help you’ expression. She was currently living under someone else’s roof right now and had no intention of being chased out. So, for the sake keeping her place in this house, Shi Sheng acquiesced and left An Su outside in the corridor.

“She has a natural spirit physique; evil ghosts are easily attracted to her. Don’t hang around with her too much.” Feng Jin glared at Shi Sheng. “And can’t you just cool it?”

“I am a silent beauty,” Shi Sheng replied without any shame.

Feng Jin, “…”

He walked over and sat down next to Shi Sheng. His expression contained some hints of helplessness and a faint tinge of anxiety. “Cool it for a bit. I’m leaving for a while.”

“En? Where to?”

Feng Jin looked at her for a moment before lowering his gaze. He leaned forward slightly and placed his interlocked hands against his forehead.

“Wait for me at home,” was all he said in the end as he turned to enter the study.

Shi Sheng frowned as she stared at the books. She rolled around the sofa before rolling off to get up. She floated straight through the door and into the study.

Feng Jin was standing next to the window in the study. The only thing illuminating the room were the neon lights outside. That light elongated his shadow, making him appear bleak and lonely.

Shi Sheng rubbed her hands. ‘If it fails again, I’m(bbb) not playing anymore!’

Feng Jin was feeling stiff from standing in front of the window for so long. He worked his neck before turning… and was pounced on with no warning.

The window behind him wasn’t shut, so half his body ended up outside. Feng Jin dropped any thoughts of attacking his assailant the moment he recognised that familiar cold touch. His wrists were grabbed by a pair of much smaller, colder hands and a force that couldn’t be called gentle poured into his body.

That force barged all around inside of him, but it didn’t hurt. On the contrary, he experienced a very strange feeling.

Familiarity, mixed with something that made his heart pound…

Since his body was still a bit stiff, Feng Jin’s movements to support the person in his arms were somewhat restricted.

Yet, when he saw her bearing with the pain in the dark, he didn’t know why but he felt his heart hurt.
