After her identity was stolen, she lived in the short-lived villain's phone.

Chapter 122 A Gift for the Smartphone Spirit
Shen Yanzhi didn't even have time to think about how Jiang Chang, who was playing outside, would have time to send WeChat messages before he saw his phone screen filled with turtle pictures sent by Jiang Chang.

Jiang Chang: (ω) As soon as I got home, I saw my little turtle son lying on the floor watching TV!

His five pictures, taken from different angles, depict a large, green Brazilian tortoise lying on a clean floor, its neck stretched out, its little head tilted back, intently watching television.

Zhou Jingqi: [Image.jpg]

Zhou Jingqi: My little Bu is also watching TV.

The photo Zhou Jingqi posted was of a small, grayish-black lizard.

The baby lizard was kept standing in a transparent glass tank.

Its two small front paws rested on the glass tank wall, and it stood on its two hind paws, with its smooth little tail hanging down behind it.

The little lizard tilted its head, its two tiny black eyes staring at the television, looking somewhat ugly-cute.

Zhan Guangnian is away on a business trip. If he weren't, he would probably be popping up in the group chat right now, showing off the fish he keeps in his luxurious aquarium.

In the small group of four, three of them kept pets, while Shen Yanzhi was all alone and lonely.

The thought had just crossed Chi Yu's mind when she heard a click.

The phone was successfully screenshotted under Shen Yanzhi's control.

The next second, she saw Shen Yanzhi raise an eyebrow and send out the screenshot.

Shen Yanzhi: Screenshot.jpg
Shen Yanzhi: My family's.

Jiang Chang and Zhou Jingqi were comparing which of their pets looked cuter while watching TV when Shen Yanzhi chimed in, instantly stopping their conversation.

Jiang Chang: ?
Zhou Jingqi: ? ?
Zhan Guangnian: ? ? ?

Jiang Chang and Zhou Jingqi were both puzzled.

Even Zhan Guangnian, who had been lurking and spying on the screen, couldn't help but chime in.

Jiang Chang: What?
Zhou Jingqi: Did you send the wrong picture? @Shen Yanzhi

Shen Yanzhi: No mistake.

Zhan Guangnian: ...Don't tell me you raised this?

Zhan Guangnian: Image.jpg
Zhan Guangnian edited and forwarded the screenshot that Shen Yanzhi had just posted, and specially circled the dough figure in the screenshot with a red marker.

Chi Yu was also furious.

This was the first time she had seen her appearance on Shen Yanzhi's phone.

Chi Yu stared wide-eyed, completely unable to believe that the tiny, chibi-style figure in the screenshot, barely bigger than a fingernail, was actually herself!
That round head, those short little arms and legs... it looks no different from a lump of dough!
Jiang Chang: Huh?

Zhou Jingqi: ...

Even through the screen, Chi Yu could sense that Jiang Chang and the others were just as speechless as she was.

But Shen Yanzhi not only didn't sense anything was wrong, he even proudly admitted it.

Shen Yanzhi: Hmm

Shen Yanzhi: How was it? Be good, right?

Seeing that the phone spirit had changed its expression, Shen Yanzhi quickly took another screenshot.

This time, he specially edited the screenshot, removing the unnecessary background and leaving only the phone's image, before showing it off in the group.

Shen Yanzhi: Look, different expressions.

After receiving his reply, Jiang Chang and the other two left a string of ellipses in the group chat once again.

Jiang Chang: A look that defies easy explanation.jpg
Jiang Chang: So, last time at the Fragrant Hills Hotel, you said your phone had a... this?

Shen Yanzhi: hands on hips.jpg
Shen Yanzhi: What else?
Jiang Chang: ...6
Zhou Jingqi: ...66
Zhan Guangnian: ...666
Jiang Chang: It turns out I still don't understand you. I thought you were having an online romance.

Zhou Jingqi: I thought it was something like a paper cutout romance.
Zhan Guangnian: Me too... I was thinking that Yan Zhi, at his age, would also catch up with the trend and learn the money-spending game, but I didn't expect this...

Saying that Shen Yanzhi is a pay-to-win virtual lover is giving him too much credit!
What is he talking about? He's not even a human! A chibi-style dough?
Virtual pet raising?

It's true that men often find themselves wanting to be fathers when they reach a certain age, and even single men are no exception.

Look what they've driven Shen Yanzhi to.

Seeing their reaction, Shen Yanzhi immediately became angry when he saw the phone spirit on the screen that was also watching their chat.

Shen Yanzhi: Angry.jpg

Jiang Chang: Retract a message

Zhou Jingqi: Retract a message

Zhan Guangnian: Retracted a message

Jiang Chang: Wow! Brother Yan, you're doing a great job keeping your kid company with your phone!

Jiang Chang: What's its name? Have you named it yet?

Jiang Chang: Come, come, let Uncle give you a gift first.

Jiang Chang: [WeChat Red Envelope]
Zhou Jingqi: I'll give one too, *smirks*
Zhou Jingqi: [WeChat Red Envelope]
Zhan Guangnian: ...

Zhan Guangnian: [WeChat Red Envelope]
Shen Yanzhi was satisfied when he saw them so conscientiously sending red envelopes to the mobile phone users.

However, he still criticized Jiang Chang: "Don't arbitrarily assign seniority."

Then, Shen Yanzhi said to Chi Yu, "Here, take the red envelope. This money is for you."

Chi Yu hesitated, somewhat embarrassed: "You order."

Jiang Chang is somewhat eccentric, and occasionally his thoughts and actions are a bit erratic, she knows that.

But she didn't expect that Zhou Jingqi and Zhan Guangnian, who seemed so serious that day, would actually cooperate with Jiang Chang and send her red envelopes.

But they might have been posting it for fun.

If they knew the true situation of Chi Yu on the other end of the phone, they would probably be scared half to death.

"You order it, it's for you." Shen Yanzhi held his phone, his fingers remaining still.

With mixed feelings, Chi Yu clicked on the three red envelopes one by one, and then sent an emoji.

Shen Yanzhi: Thank you, boss.jpg
Upon seeing this, Shen Yanzhi immediately typed rapidly on his phone screen.

Shen Yanzhi: It's thanking you.

Chi Yu posted a chibi-style emoji of a little character holding a red envelope.

Jiang Chang, on the other end of the phone, couldn't help but smile when he saw the adorable emoji. Even though he knew that the emoji must have been sent by Shen Yanzhi, he inexplicably felt a sense of disconnect between the emoji's style and Shen Yanzhi's personality.

It's as if those two messages were sent by two people with different personalities.

People who raise paper dolls are different. Shen Yanzhi used to be concise in his conversations, but now he even knows how to use emojis.

Believe it or not, Shen Yanzhi smiled and said thank you, boss, for just two hundred yuan.

This feeling is absolutely wonderful.

Jiang Chang immediately replied smugly: You're welcome~
Jiang Chang: You still haven't told us what to name this phone that's supposed to accompany the child?

Upon hearing Jiang Chang's words, Shen Yanzhi immediately asked the phone spirit, "Do you have a name?"

That was his oversight; he had never asked before.

Chi Yu shook her head: "No."

Sorry, sorry, she had no choice but to lie.

If she were to reveal her name, Shen Yanzhi would probably immediately guess her identity.

Chi Yu silently apologized to Shen Yanzhi in her heart, then quickly skipped over the topic: "But I don't need a name. I'm just in your phone. My name is not important to me at all."

Shen Yanzhi originally wanted to give the phone spirit a name, but seeing how resistant it was, he had no choice but to give up.

He sighed indulgently, "Alright."

The phone spirit is right; it's always been in his phone, a presence only he knows about.

Whether it has a name or not, its place in his heart will never change.

　Can everyone see the picture?
