Chapter 316 The Touch of the Cellphone Spirit
Shen Yanzhi was tall and had long legs, so he took long strides and walked up the riverbank in just a few steps.

Looking at Shen Yanzhi, Su Chengyan couldn't help but recall the foolish thing he had done just now in the hospital: sending a text message to Shen Yanzhi's phone.

Although he could call Shen Yanzhi "brother" without any pressure just now through the screen, he still had the burden of being an older brother in front of Chi Yu.

Noticing that Shen Yanzhi was still wearing the clothes he had just given him, Su Chengyan was somewhat surprised. "Yanzhi, have you been here the whole time?"

"I left for a bit," Shen Yanzhi replied to Su Chengyan, but his eyes fell on the little girl next to him. "After you left, the police and I went back to the police station to file a case and went to the traffic bureau to check the surveillance footage. We found evidence that someone deliberately kicked the phone into the water."

All three of them knew perfectly well that the other party's act of kicking the phone not only damaged Shen Yanzhi's property, but also almost cost Chi Yu his life!

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyan's expression turned angry: "Where is that person now?!"

“The police went to the hospital to arrest her, I didn’t go.” Shen Yanzhi’s eyes were cold. “They’ll probably contact me after they catch her.”

Remembering what Chi Yu had said earlier, Su Chengyan asked, "Was it the family member of the drowning person you rescued?"

Shen Yanzhi replied calmly, "Yes."

Su Chengyan gave a cold snort.

Looking at the team members who were carrying out salvage operations on the river, he recalled that when he rushed over with his men after receiving the distress message, Chi Yu stood on the bank, soaking wet, pale-faced, and looking weak with shock in her eyes.

She had been pushed into the sea and drowned by Chen Jiazhi before, and now she had been kicked into the river by this ungrateful idiot. For Chi Yu, this was undoubtedly a nightmare repeating itself.

Su Chengyan knew very well that no matter how much he felt sorry for Chi Yu, he couldn't take away her fear and despair from the shadow of her suddenly falling into the river. All he could do now was: "Don't let her off easily. If you need any help, just ask."

Although Shen Yanzhi doesn't need his extra help given his abilities, Shen Yanzhi seems to have a delicate relationship with the Shen family lately? In any case, Su Chengyan is very willing to help.

"Mm." Shen Yanzhi nodded.

Seeing that the two of them started talking about other things as soon as they met, Chi Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried. She looked at Shen Yanzhi with concern and said, "Leave the phone-retrieval to someone else. Let's take you to the hospital for a check-up now. If we stay any longer, the doctor will be off work."

Shen Yanzhi was slightly taken aback when he met her concerned gaze.

Su Chengyan's expression immediately turned serious. He looked at Shen Yanzhi and said, "My sister and I came here not to catch that ingrate, but specifically to find you. The emergency room doctor just said that unless you are a professional athlete, it is very easy for an ordinary person to have an accident when diving from a height, which is exactly your situation."

"Let's hurry over there before the doctor gets off work."

Now that the phone is in trouble, Shen Yanzhi is my sister's only hope for survival, so he absolutely cannot be harmed.

Shen Yanzhi never expected that the brother and sister would come specifically to find him and take him to the hospital.

His expression softened, and beneath his refined demeanor, his voice was deep and reserved: "I should be alright. Let's retrieve the phone first..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chi Yu, who had been staring at him, finally couldn't resist and grabbed Shen Yanzhi's arm, saying, "Stop grabbing me, let's go!"

After coming down from the river, Chi Yu kept staring at Shen Yanzhi.

Having spent three whole months with him on the phone, no one understands Shen Yanzhi better than Chi Yu.

Shen Yanzhi may seem aloof and indifferent in life, not picky or having any obsession with cleanliness, but in reality he is a very clean and particular person.

This can be seen from his luxurious and spacious wardrobe.

From the tailoring of the bespoke suits to the matching ties, and the various styles of shirts and cufflinks, each item silently proclaims its expensive price.

Although Su Chengyan's build was similar to Shen Yanzhi's, Su Chengyan was three centimeters shorter than Shen Yanzhi. When Su Chengyan wore his clothes and pants on Shen Yanzhi, not only were the clothes shrunken, but the pant legs were also noticeably shorter.

He was wearing inappropriate clothes and his body, which had been soaked in the river, had been busy working back and forth on the riverbank for so long.

When has Shen Yanzhi ever been so disheveled and careless?

More importantly, even though Shen Yanzhi tried his best to hide it, Chi Yu still noticed his somewhat pale lips.

To be honest...

She was afraid that if Shen Yanzhi didn't go to the hospital soon, he would end up lying in the river.

She grabbed Shen Yanzhi's arm and led him back.

Chi Yu's actions were sudden, and she even interrupted him.

After Shen Yan took power, no one dared to interrupt him to his face. Even Shen Hongguo and Shen Yuanzhong, who had previously opposed and clashed with him, did not dare to do so, let alone directly lay a hand on him.

Shen Yanzhi was speechless for a moment, his coldness completely gone.

He stared at the crude phone in front of him, his dark eyes remaining calm.

Chi Yu dragged him forward with almost no effort. From a distance, his steps looked too proactive, not like he was being forced, but rather like a big tail following Chi Yu.

Chi Yu had only grabbed Shen Yanzhi in a moment of panic, but after grabbing his wrist, a charging status notification clearly appeared in front of Chi Yu's eyes!
And the numbers in the status bar are rising at an astonishing rate.

It was the same fast-charging reaction as when Shen Yanzhi hugged her in the roadside bushes that night.

As Chi Yu looked at it, she suddenly felt reluctant to let go.

Shen Yanzhi's phone is currently in a precarious state, and Chi Yu doesn't know if she'll ever have a chance to charge it again. Staying close to Shen Yanzhi has become Chi Yu's only chance of survival.

However, her opportunities to get close to Shen Yanzhi were extremely limited.

This contact was unintentional, yet it was an unexpected surprise.

As a result, Chi Yu not only didn't let go of Shen Yanzhi's arm, but instead gripped it even tighter.

Shen Yanzhi obediently followed Chi Yu's lead and walked forward. Realizing that Chi Yu hadn't let go of him for a long time, Shen Yanzhi's gaze couldn't help but fall from the back of Chi Yu's head to the forearm that was holding him.

For many years, he had maintained a clean reputation, and no one had ever dared to offend Shen Yanzhi.

It's also possible that he himself is too aloof and arrogant, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close to him.

Shen Yanzhi originally thought he should hate this kind of close contact, hate other people's skin touching him. However, when his arm was firmly held by two other small hands, and he clearly felt another warmth coming from the other's palm, he did not feel disgust as usual. Instead, he only felt clean and soft.

Shen Yanzhi kept a straight face, expressionless, nodded slightly, and looked away. His jawline was sharp as if carved by a knife, and his Adam's apple was prominent and twitched slightly with his restless emotions.

His face was cold and almost ruthless, yet at some moment, a suppressed undercurrent suddenly surged in his eyes.

The young man's tense restraint went unnoticed by the careless brother and sister.

Chi Yu walked forward with her head down, and realized that after she interrupted him, Shen Yanzhi had not said another word. Chi Yu pursed her lips and couldn't help but reflect on herself in her heart.

Was her tone too harsh just now?

Or was it impolite of her to suddenly interrupt him?

Or perhaps he didn't actually want to see a doctor, but couldn't refuse?
Surely he couldn't have been scared off by his own offensive behavior!
Chi Yu thought about it for a moment and realized it was quite possible.

During the months she followed Shen Yanzhi, she never saw him have any physical contact with anyone else.

He avoids even female mosquitoes, let alone women.

But Shen Yanzhi's presence was too tempting for Chi Yu, like a puppy seeing a bone, or a cat encountering catnip.

It's impossible for her to let go easily.

Chi Yu could only shamelessly ignore the two hands that were grabbing the other person's arm, and tried to save face for her behavior: "When I came down, I saw Chen Jin was here too. Let Chen Jin take care of things here. We'll go to the hospital first. Your health is the most important thing. If the doctor says that you're fine after the examination, then we'll come back."

"Anyway, there's a professional salvage team here. Your leaving for a bit shouldn't have much of an impact."

Shen Yanzhi, who had been forcibly distracting himself and looking elsewhere, instantly turned his gaze back to Chi Yu after hearing her comforting voice, fixing it firmly on her once again.

The first time someone led him around, even though she was only holding his forearm, he felt like he was being completely controlled by her, and he even found himself speechless.

Shen Yanzhi's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he uttered a single syllable: "Hmm."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Chi Yu remained calm, while Shen Yanzhi frowned slightly, dissatisfied with his own performance.

Chi Yu didn't mind Shen Yanzhi's conciseness. When she saw Chen Jin standing on the other side of the river, she suddenly remembered that when she and Su Chengyan came over, Shen Yanzhi was standing on a yacht: "Were you standing on the yacht just now, directing them?"

"Not exactly commanding." Shen Yanzhi went over the words in his mind: "I just threw a few phones to test the impact of the water flow."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu immediately understood.

"Amazing!" Chi Yu couldn't help but praise, "No wonder the two salvage teams were spaced quite far apart; it was you who calculated it!"

Her voice was clear and bright, carrying a vibrant energy.

Shen Yanzhi listened silently, and suddenly remembered the cute and honest little dough figurine on his phone. The image gradually overlapped with the figure in front of him.

This is the little dough figure that accompanies him every day and teaches him how to play games. It only grabbed his arm; he can't be so petty.

The inexperienced Shen Yanzhi attributed his violent reaction after Chi Yu grabbed his arm to his own discomfort at having his arm grabbed for the first time.

After quickly reflecting on himself, the young man looked at Chi Yu, whom he had categorized as "one of his own." The young man, who was usually clueless about social etiquette, not only did not distance himself from Chi Yu this time, but instead used the gesture of speaking to move two centimeters closer to Chi Yu, thus closing the distance between the two.
