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

Chapter 365 She Likes Shen Yanzhi
There weren't many customers in the coffee shop in the afternoon. Chi Yu and Shen Yanzhi sat in a corner by the window, where they could chat.

Throughout the journey, Chi Yu had a clear plan.

The fact that she needs Shen Yanzhi to recharge is something that absolutely cannot be kept secret.

The fact that she had secretly touched Shen Yanzhi's hand last time still made her feel a little guilty when facing him today.

Not to mention that the last situation was truly exceptional, and it's impossible for her to encounter it every time.

A few days later, when her remaining lifespan is used up, she will have to find Shen Yanzhi to "recharge" again.

If I delay telling Shen Yanzhi, but still need his help, it would be unfair to him.

Chi Yu took a deep breath and spoke frankly to Shen Yanzhi: "Do you remember when you got drunk at the banquet a couple of days ago?"

Shen Yanzhi, who had been waiting for her to speak, didn't expect her to bring up this matter right away. The cold-faced man unconsciously straightened his back, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes. He nodded guiltily, "Yes, I remember."

Chi Yu's gaze was fixed on the coffee in front of her, completely unaware of his expression: "That night, I actually attended that banquet, and I even ran into you sitting there asleep after getting drunk in the small pavilion."

Shen Yanzhi's long, slender fingers, with distinct knuckles, curled slightly as they rested on the table.

In fact, after Chi Yu left the small pavilion that day, his rationality regarding running away from home returned instantly.

Even if Chi Yu likes him and wants to get close to him, how can he, as a man, use pretending to be drunk to deal with it?

Not to mention, he even took advantage of his non-existent drunkenness to hold her hand back.

This behavior is utterly shameful.

Shen Yanzhi later deeply despised himself.

Even if he couldn't help wanting to hold Chi Yu's hand, he should have waited until they were officially a couple before he could hold her hand however he wanted.

When Chen Jin drove him home that day, Shen Yanzhi kept replaying the scenes of spending the past three months with his phone addict in his mind, and racking his brains to think about what he would have to face after starting a relationship.

Shen Yanzhi had no romantic experience before. Whenever he thought about it, he only had one memory: the scene of being suddenly confessed to by a woman.

In the past, when faced with similar situations, Shen Yanzhi remained calm and indifferent, always coldly and ruthlessly refusing.

But that night he couldn't help but think that if Chi Yu were to confess to him, he would definitely agree to her immediately without even waiting for her to finish speaking.

That night, Shen Yanzhi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

One moment she thinks of the times when Chi Yu was still a tech enthusiast and the two of them played games together, and the next she thinks of her bright future with Chi Yu.

He suffered through the entire night.

When he picked up his phone the next day, it was already bright daylight. There were unread messages, but none of them were from Chi Yu.

Shen Yanzhi thought that Chi Yu was probably still asleep.

That morning, while he was working at the company, he checked his phone countless times, but the little red dot on Chi Yu's profile picture never lit up.

Shen Yanzhi's heart, which had been boiling all night, finally cooled down.

Hearing Chi Yu suddenly mention what happened that night, Shen Yanzhi felt his heart surge with excitement once again.

No wonder Chi Yu didn't send him a WeChat message; she wanted to talk to him in person.

He leans forward with his arms resting on the table, a posture that teachers in elementary school often prefer when listening to lessons.

Shen Yanzhi looked up and stared intently at Chi Yu.

He figured that Chi Yu must have realized he was faking being drunk when he recalled what happened in the pavilion, since his disguise hadn't been particularly sophisticated. Just as Shen Yanzhi was about to take responsibility for his actions that day, he heard Chi Yu say, "There's something I've been keeping from you. Actually, after I became human, I wasn't completely free from your phone. Like a phone, I need to be charged to maintain my human form."

Shen Yanzhi's brow twitched.

Before he could react, Chi Yu continued quickly, "There's only one way I recharge: by being close to you. I need to touch you to recharge. Last time you rescued me from the river, we had physical contact, which allowed me to maintain my human form for three days. That day at the banquet was the last day I could maintain my human form. So in that little pavilion, I took the opportunity to hold your hand, buying myself another five days." (…ps: I wrote ten days earlier, but I felt it was inappropriate tonight. Last time, President Shen rescued Yu Yu from the river and gave her his first kiss, and it only took three days. Ten days is too much, so I changed it to five days!)

Chi Yu had prepared these words in his mind beforehand, so he spoke them fluently.

After listening to her and even understanding the meaning behind her words, Shen Yanzhi fell silent.

After a long pause, he spoke with some difficulty: "You held my hand, was it to... recharge?"

Chi Yu nodded somewhat shyly.

Mr. Shen, who earns thousands of dollars a day, never imagined that he would one day have this kind of role.

This situation was completely different from what Shen Yanzhi had imagined.

His calm and collected tone carried a hint of barely perceptible resentment as he asked Chi Yu with reluctance, "Really, there's no other meaning behind it?"

Chi Yu recalled the thrill she felt that night when she secretly touched his fingers. Her eyes darted around as she took a sip of her coffee, trying not to let Shen Yanzhi see the guilt in her eyes: "Yeah."

Chi Yu knew what Shen Yanzhi meant by those words.

He was such a self-disciplined person, not only on the surface but also in his private life, maintaining proper distance from every woman.

He remained unmoved by both Mr. Shen's blind dates and Ms. Jiang's pressure to get married, and he never used his position to seek personal gain or engage in any underhanded practices or indulge in momentary pleasures.

It's normal for him to be wary of having inappropriate thoughts about her.

However, Chi Yu's honest nature made it impossible for her to say that she had no improper thoughts about him. She was not taking any action because she was on her deathbed.

Once she has accumulated enough life points, if Shen Yanzhi is still single at that time, Chi Yu will definitely take the initiative to fight for him.

Shen Yanzhi has many good qualities, and she particularly likes his words and actions. In fact, when she touches him, Chi Yu doesn't feel any aversion at all; on the contrary, she finds him clean and refreshing, and wants to get to know him better.

Just like when she was a child in the orphanage, one Chinese New Year, a kind person donated a batch of toys, and Chi Yu was lucky enough to be assigned a little blue elephant.

For a long time, she would carry the toy elephant everywhere she went, she loved it dearly.

She also has this feeling about Shen Yanzhi's body.

If Shen Yanzhi accepts her advances, the two can begin a sweet romance.

If Shen Yanzhi didn't have romantic feelings for her and rejected her, she would politely let go, since she had at least tried to win over her feelings.

However, it's too early to consider these things now.

The most important thing now is her charging problem.

If she couldn't help but confess her feelings now, and was rejected by Shen Yanzhi, how would she ever reconnect with him? It would only leave her in an awkward situation...

The rich, slightly bitter coffee made Chi Yu even more clear-headed. She calmly looked up and met Shen Yanzhi's gaze, concealing her feelings perfectly: "I promise, everything I just said is true."

　Shen Yanzhi: Family, the sky has fallen...

　　Hahahaha, this must be the chapter that dealt the biggest blow to President Shen.
　　But it's okay, with Little Bear's update, an even bigger storm is yet to come!! Serves you right for not acting sooner! (Little Bear points and gestures)
