"Here it comes," Lin Chen thought to himself as that hungry gaze swept over his back like a spotlight. He didn't need to turn around to imagine the expression on the person behind him, one that seemed eager to devour him whole.
Lin Chen couldn't help but grimace, continuing to type furiously on his keyboard, his fingers dancing rapidly over the keys. Just then, he heard a distinct sound of someone swallowing behind him. Startled, he accidentally sent the carefully arranged table of contents straight into the recycle bin.
"Uh, well..." Lin Chen forced a bitter smile and resignedly turned around, managing to put on a stiff grin as he said, " teacher Wen, would you like me to pour you a cup of tea?"
The person called out, Wen Changqing, was petite with a face no larger than a palm, framed by a pair of bright, sparkling eyes. At that moment, she bounced excitedly in front of Lin Chen, her eyes blinking rapidly and a broad smile plastered across her face. However, her first words nearly made Lin Chen choke.
"Oh dear, Xiao Linlin, why are you being so shy? Calling me teacher Wen sounds so serious; just call me Xiao Xiao!" As she spoke, her intense gaze swept over Lin Chen from head to toe again like a machine gun firing. She was watching him while swallowing hard, and it was easy to imagine the various teasing scenarios playing out in her mind.
Lin Chen had never been good at dealing with women, especially not someone like Wen Changqing, whose skin was thick enough to be impervious to any criticism. Not only did she disrupt his work, but she also often teased him with her words, which left him quite troubled.
But he could never bring himself to yell at her like the Editor-in-Chief would; after all, this drooling woman was one of their publishing house's bestselling comic artists—Wen Changqing.
As for how this poor male editor had attracted such a "rare gem," it all traced back to the peak of deadlines last month...
That day, Lin Chen had finally stayed up all night finishing the layout for the new issue and was about to drag his exhausted body into the studio for a quick rest when the Editor-in-Chief called out to him.
"Lin Chen, you're just in time. Today you need to go to teacher Wen's place to urge her for the manuscript instead of Xiao Wantong. Wan Tong is sick; I have to take her to the hospital." The Editor-in-Chief's expression was serious; mentioning his beloved little editor made him frown handsomely.
"Is Sister Wan Tong okay?" Lin Chen asked, concerned about his senior who usually took care of him while also curious about why the cold-blooded Editor-in-Chief seemed so anxious.
"Just a high fever," the Editor-in-Chief brushed it off casually but then narrowed his eyes at Lin Chen. "Aren't you going yet? If teacher Wen doesn't submit her manuscript on time, don't bother coming back to the Editorial Department!"
Lin Chen cursed inwardly, "It's not wrong to call you cold-blooded; there's no need for such blatant favoritism, hmph..."
Under the relentless pressure of the heartless Editor-in-Chief, Lin Chen reluctantly accepted the task that had nothing to do with design and headed to teacher Wen's home. Speaking of their publishing house's bestselling manga artist, Wen Changqing, he was widely recognized as an outstanding creator in the industry. Whenever a new issue was released, it would almost immediately sell out, not to mention the substantial profit margin he brought to the publisher. In earlier years, many other publishers had tried to poach him.
Having only joined the company six months ago, Lin Chen had yet to meet teacher Wen in person. With a mix of nervousness and trepidation, he pressed the doorbell. Finally, the door swung open, revealing a disheveled woman with messy hair who looked like she had just rolled out of bed.
"Um... Is teacher Wen home?" Lin Chen instinctively assumed she was either the housekeeper or a friend crashing at their place.
The woman scratched her head, yawned widely, and blinked sleepily at him. Dressed in a loose nightgown, she seemed completely unconcerned about her unkempt appearance as she said, "Yeah, that's me. Are you delivering something? Sorry, I've been shopping online a lot lately and I can't remember which delivery service you’re with..."
Lin Chen was instantly speechless, shocked, and overwhelmed by a wave of emotions that felt like thunderclaps bringing him back to reality. She—she—she was teacher Wen?! Wasn't teacher Wen supposed to be a man who drew action-packed comics?
Just as Lin Chen stood there in disbelief, the woman's messy appearance drew closer with an intensity that shook off any lingering sleepiness. She had long since been awakened by Lin Chen's striking looks!
With slightly parted lips, she exclaimed excitedly, "You’re so beautiful!"
