So this is what it’s like not having to rush to work—mornings feel so long.
Yu Miaomiao wandered outside with Maodou for quite a while, only to realize it was just 9:40.
“Let’s go, Maodou. Big sister has important business to take care of at home.”
Brother Gui, the Soul Ferryman, was already waiting for her at home.
“That woman is busy setting up the venue right now. You join the group chat now, and I’ll help you get approved without anyone noticing.”
Yu Miaomiao still felt a bit uneasy. Before taking action, she double-checked with him.
“After this is done, you’ll help me take care of Maodou, right? You won’t go back on your word?”
“Of course. Before I became a ghost, I was a gentleman too.”
Since there was no better option anyway, Yu Miaomiao had no choice but to trust him.
She searched for the group on her phone and clicked to request to join.
The Soul Ferryman vanished in a flash. About five minutes later, her request to join the group was approved.
Wow, that’s amazing!
She checked the time again—exactly 10 o’clock.
Brother Gui flashed back. “Now’s the time. Send it.”
Yu Miaomiao had been ready for this.
She selected the video and sent it in its original quality—no point wasting that high-definition footage.
Her eyes fixed on the small loading circle as it slowly filled up. Upload successful!
“Too bad I’m not there in person. I wonder how everyone will react,” Yu Miaomiao said regretfully.
Brother Gui’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“I’ll go check now and tell you when I get back!”
What a great partner indeed.
In fact, not long after he left, the group chat exploded.
The scumbag’s colleagues were too embarrassed to comment, so they flooded the chat with various shocked emojis.
As the emojis piled up, some concerned members reminded them, “Please don’t spam the chat!”
They didn’t want to ruin the fun for colleagues who were still catching up.
By the time the HR mistress realized what was happening and roared in the group, “Delete it!!!” it was already too late—the time limit had passed.
She even tried to add Yu Miaomiao as a friend, but of course, she was mercilessly rejected.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Yu Miaomiao left the group immediately.
As for the rest, she could only rely on Brother Gui to fill her in.
She heard that the mistress covered her face and fled the scene during the meeting, while the scumbag was called out by his boss and given a severe scolding.
The video was uploaded online, garnering over ten thousand views in just half an hour, and its popularity was still skyrocketing.
The best part was that, following Brother Gui’s advice, Yu Miaomiao hadn’t used her own account to join the group—she’d used the account of the scumbag’s deceased wife.
Even if the scumbag reported it to the police, the investigation would only grow more unsettling.
Both of them were sure to lose their jobs, effectively suffering social death.
When they got home, they started fighting. The scumbag blamed the mistress for keeping evidence of his affair, while she hated him for costing her her job.
Their argument escalated from shouting to physical violence, turning into a brutal brawl.
Brother Gui rushed back excitedly. “That deceased person finally agreed to reincarnate!”
Yu Miaomiao let out a long sigh of relief. Her part in helping was done.
“So your bonus for this month is safe now, right?”
“Not necessarily, but at least the problem of almost missing the deadline is solved!”
The day was almost over.
“I want to ask you something,” Yu Miaomiao said nervously. “Tell me—is being electrocuted painful?”
As the time drew closer, it was impossible not to feel afraid.
The Soul Ferryman’s excited expression faded, replaced by sympathy as he looked at her. “I don’t know that either.”
“It should be quick. I’ve heard slaughterhouses use electrocution these days,” Yu Miaomiao tried to comfort herself. “Tomorrow night, I’ll take a shower at the time you mentioned. You have to keep your promise too and take good care of Maodou for me.”
He nodded. “Don’t worry. No matter where Maodou is, I’ll make sure to feed him every day.”
Yu Miaomiao sensed something off. “What do you mean, ‘no matter where it is’? It has to live with you!”
The Soul Ferryman was troubled. “After you die, the landlord will rent this place to someone else. What if the new tenant doesn’t allow Maodou to stay?”
Yu Miaomiao’s brain froze.
“Didn’t you buy this apartment?”
“The Underworld Bureau and the mortal realm operate under two separate systems. I can share a living space with different humans—they can’t see me, and any property I own doesn’t affect them.”
Yu Miaomiao began to understand. Before she could see the Soul Ferryman, the two of them had already been sharing this space for half a month.
After she died, this place would naturally become someone else’s home. Who would allow a dog to inexplicably appear in their house?
In the end, he simply couldn’t help her take care of Maodou.
