Chapter 362 Searching for the Owner
After Shen Yanzhi and Chi Yu entered the private room, while waiting for the dishes to be served, Su Chengyan carefully observed Shen Yanzhi's expression.

Su Chengyan then noticed that Shen Yanzhi did indeed have slight dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well; it was barely noticeable unless you looked closely. He wondered how Su Muyang's eyesight was so sharp that he had spotted even this slight sign of fatigue.

Since Chi Yu would have to rely on Shen Yanzhi's 'yang energy' to survive, Su Chengyan naturally cared about his health. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent such expensive tonics to Shen Yanzhi time and time again.

It can be said that Su Chengyan is the person who cares most about Shen Yanzhi's health, besides Ms. Jiang.

He thought for a moment: "I don't think I had dark circles under my eyes a few days ago, did I? Didn't I sleep well?"

Shen Yanzhi glanced at the oblivious phone addict sitting next to him and nodded: "A little."

Habits are a terrible thing, and this is no exception for Shen Yanzhi.

He quickly accepted the appearance of the phone spirit, taking it to and from work every day and exchanging goodnights with it every night before going to sleep together.

For Chi Yu, stepping out of the phone meant liberation; she gained a vibrant sense of freedom.

But for Shen Yanzhi, his life these past few days has been no different from that of an empty-nest youth who has suddenly been dumped.

Having personally experienced the joy of companionship, the thought of enduring the coldness and loneliness of being alone now... Shen Yanzhi's heart could no longer remain as calm as before.

The night Chi Yu returned to the Su family, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep all night.

These past few days, every time Shen Yanzhi came home from get off work and saw the tablet lying alone on the coffee table, he felt like it was mocking him.

Before the main dishes were served, the waiter brought over several snacks and desserts, as well as a plate of fruit slices.

Chi Yu, who was holding a small fork and eating fruit, turned her head and looked at Shen Yanzhi with a puzzled expression when she heard the conversation between Shen Yanzhi and Su Chengyan.

She recalled when she first transmigrated into Shen Yanzhi's phone. At that time, she was not familiar with Shen Yanzhi, and what shocked her the most was Shen Yanzhi's self-disciplined routine of going to bed early and waking up early.

Moreover, she remembered that Shen Yanzhi slept quite well and his sleeping posture was very well-behaved; he hardly moved at all.

Chi Yu thought about what had happened to Shen Yanzhi recently.

Could it be because of that thing online?
To be honest, Su Chengyan and Chi Yuzhen are truly family. Just as this thought crossed her mind, she heard Su Chengyan's voice:
"Is it because of that online incident? I heard that many media reporters have been staking out the Shen Group building every day these past few days."

Shen Yanzhi gave a mumbled reply.

He couldn't possibly tell the Su family that he missed their daughter/sister so much that he couldn't sleep.

Even he himself felt that he was a bit abnormal.

That's incredibly infuriating; it's not gentlemanly behavior.

"Try to think positively. Right now, you're the most talked-about person, so netizens love watching you, and reporters and media are naturally chasing after you. Once the hype dies down and netizens stop paying attention, those reporters and media will naturally disappear. You're probably used to being alone, so you're not used to being the center of attention," Su Chengyan comforted him, while secretly wondering what would be the most calming thing to do. Maybe he should give Shen Yanzhi two cans of calming tea.

Shen Yanzhi didn't care about the attention online at all. He listened attentively and then nodded, "Mm."

Su's father took a sip of tea and couldn't help but say a few words about staying up late: "Young people these days all like to stay up late. I think Xiao Shen looks pretty energetic; he doesn't seem like someone who usually stays up late."

"I rarely stay up late; I usually have a fixed time."

Come to think of it, the only times I've stayed up late in the past few months were all related to Chi Yu.

The two of them were addicted to playing games for a while, and even Shen Yanzhi got hooked. It was only when Chi Yu, who was a self-proclaimed "phone addict," reminded him that it was late that Shen Yanzhi put down his tablet and went back to his room to sleep.

Recalling the scene of himself clumsily following behind the phone expert to pick up equipment, a faint smile appeared in Shen Yanzhi's eyes.

"What? Fixed bedtime? Shouldn't that just exist in a schedule? It's actually possible?" Su Muyang, who was playing on his phone, looked up.

Su Muyang was shocked when he saw Shen Yanzhi nod.

Su's mother casually remarked, "I see you're quite consistent too, going to bed at one or two o'clock every day."

Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Su Muyang: "..."

There was a knock on the door of the private room, and a waiter pushed in a small food cart.

As soon as the dishes were served, Chi Yu knew that Su Muyang was right. The dishes here were indeed delicious and made people's appetites grow. After they started eating, Chi Yu picked up a piece of the steamed fish she had ordered and her eyes lit up. It was indeed delicious!

No one followed the rule of not talking while eating; they chatted as they ate.

The Su family members are generally easygoing and down-to-earth. Although Shen Yanzhi is reserved and aloof, it doesn't mean he's inarticulate.

He was young, but he didn't have the impetuousness of youth, nor the arrogance that comes with his status. Instead, he was humble, proper, calm, and composed.

When Shen Yanzhi visited the Su family last time, Su's father liked him very much. Now, after their second conversation, his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Shen Yanzhi.

When they were almost finished eating, Chi Yu left the private room and went to the restroom at the end of the corridor.

The restaurant has separate men's and women's restrooms, but the sinks are in one place.

As Chi Yu stood in front of the sink washing her hands, her gaze suddenly paused.

She saw a black cell phone on the sink next to her.

The phone screen was black, and it wasn't covered by a protective case. The design looked very novel; it was a folding screen phone that had just been released.

Chi Yu turned her head and looked around, but did not see the owner of the phone.

Judging from the water droplets on the phone screen, Chi Yu guessed that the other person must have placed the phone aside while washing their hands, and then left after washing their hands, leaving the phone behind.

If she leaves the phone there, its owner might realize it's missing and immediately return to look for it. Alternatively, it might encounter a stranger like Chi Yu, who's also using the restroom, before its owner arrives.

Without hesitation, Chi Yu took out a tissue to dry her hands, then used another clean tissue to pick up her phone.

Afterwards, Chi Yu left the restroom and walked towards the front desk.

As she walked down the corridor, she made a point of noticing that no one rushed over to look for their phone.

Chi Yu placed her phone on the front desk and said simply, "I found this on the sink when I went to the restroom. Please help me find its owner."

The staff looked at Chi Yu with surprise, then at their phones.
