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

Chapter 372 Aren't you afraid I'll drain your life force?

Shen Yanzhi went to wash his hands, and Chi Yu didn't just sit there either. She took out a wet wipe and wiped both her hands clean.

After Shen Yanzhi came in, the two, who were still a bit awkward even though it was their first time, looked at each other and then extended their hands.

When Shen Yanzhi came in, Chi Yu closed the study door behind her. Locking it seemed to be a subconscious action, thinking that the charging incident shouldn't be discovered by others. It wasn't until she touched Shen Yanzhi's hand again that Chi Yu suddenly realized how ambiguous her action of locking the door had been.

The two of them are completely innocent, but because of this action, it's as if they're doing something bad behind their family's back.

Shen Yanzhi looked down at Chi Yu and suddenly asked, "How much time do you have left to live?"

Chi Yu snapped back to reality and admitted honestly, "A little over four days."

When she last met Shen Yanzhi, she only had two or three days left to live. But after they held hands in the car, her life expectancy increased to eight or nine days.

Now, several days have passed, and life's time is slowly slipping away again.

Shen Yanzhi frowned slightly.

Last time, he and Chi Yu were in the car for almost half an hour, until Chen Jin called him again. Chi Yu got out of the car and left so as not to affect his work.

Shen Yanzhi calculated that Chi Yu would be preparing for exams at home during this period. Even if he could visit the Su family often, he couldn't necessarily find a reason to be alone with her every time.

There is still one month until the postgraduate entrance exam. If we calculate that half an hour of signing a date equals five days, the two of them need to meet at least five more times.

In addition, during the days of her exams, we needed to meet even more often.

If he spends half an hour in a room with Chi Yu every time he comes to the Su family, it could easily lead to misunderstandings among the Su family members. This would not only affect her reputation, but he would also face the crisis of coming in upright and leaving horizontally.

If Chi Yu were to go out to find him, it would delay her exam preparation time.

She doesn't have much time to begin with.

Shen Yanzhi looked down at his and Chi Yu's hands, which were touching, and said his idea: "How about we try holding hands? See if that's more efficient?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his other hand in front of Chi Yu.

Chi Yu instantly understood what Shen Yanzhi meant. She nodded and then placed her hand on it.

After their hands met and they paused for a moment, Chi Yu clearly noticed that the slowly increasing time points became twice as efficient after their second hands touched.

"How is it? Has it gone up?" Shen Yanzhi asked in a deep voice.

"It's gone up!" Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh. "The speed is twice as fast as before."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanzhi seemed to be deep in thought.

Therefore, the more parts of his body come into contact with Chi Yu, the faster the charging speed will be?
A sudden thought flashed through Chi Yu's mind. She suddenly remembered the night Shen Yanzhi got drunk. When their hands were touching, her life points were increasing at a steady rate. But then he suddenly leaned to the side and rested his head on her neck. The next second, her life points surged dramatically.

If Shen Yanzhi hadn't suddenly appeared, she wouldn't have accumulated several days' worth of life points in such a short time.

Chi Yu vaguely felt that she seemed to have understood something.

While she was still lost in thought, Shen Yanzhi's warm and magnetic voice rang in her ears again: "How about we hug?"

hug?

Chi Yu looked up and met Shen Yanzhi's dark eyes and serious expression: "Let's see if more physical contact will make the charging efficiency increase faster."

Shen Yanzhi spoke very seriously; he was genuinely thinking about how to maximize Chi Yu's lifespan within the same amount of time.

Normally, the average person's lifespan is around seventy years. If someone lives longer, they can live to eighty or ninety. If someone lives even longer, living to a hundred is not impossible.

As for Chi Yu, she only has a pitiful few days of life points every day.

Shen Yanzhi believes that it is a terrifying thing for a person to know the countdown of their life.

He couldn't change Chi Yu's ability, but he could do his best to extend her remaining time.

With each additional day, Chi Yu's sense of security might increase by one point.

Chi Yu didn't know what Shen Yanzhi was thinking, but she could sense that he was thinking of her at that moment.

Seeing Shen Yanzhi's serious expression, Chi Yu couldn't help but calm down and say, "Okay."

The two let go of each other's hands and stood up together.

Chi Yu raised her hands, and the next second, Shen Yanzhi's hand landed on her back. He exerted a little force in his arm, forcing her to take a few steps forward and crash into Shen Yanzhi's arms.

Shen Yanzhi has long legs, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist; his body proportions are exceptionally good.

Chi Yu had long known that he was a walking clothes hanger.

But Chi Yu didn't expect that his embrace would be so broad and strong. Her cheek was forced against his chest, which was firm and clean. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to hear Shen Yanzhi's heartbeat as strong as a drum.

Shen Yanzhi stood straight, his hands behind Chi Yu's back. With his movements, the faint, cool scent of sandalwood emanating from him completely enveloped Chi Yu.

Shen Yanzhi's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He looked up at the swaying curtains by the window and calmly asked Chi Yu, "How is it now? How does it feel? Has the charging efficiency changed?"

Chi Yu moved her head and looked into the void.

She looked at it carefully for a while, then frowned slightly: "It seems to be only a little bit faster than before." Chi Yu didn't lie to Shen Yanzhi. In fact, when she saw the result, she herself couldn't believe it and wondered if she had seen it wrong, or if the life value hadn't reacted yet.

With her own life points at stake, Chi Yu had no time to think about anything else. Staring at the fluctuating numbers, she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "How strange, shouldn't the contact area when hugging be larger than when holding hands? Why is it only a little bit faster than before?"

Moreover, this little bit is negligible.

Shen Yanzhi listened to Chi Yu's words and began to ponder them seriously.

Then, his hands, which were resting on Chi Yu's back, slid down and grasped Chi Yu's hands: "How about this?"

As he grabbed Chi Yu's hands, in a place only Chi Yu could see, her health points, which had been steadily increasing, suddenly doubled.

Chi Yu was speechless: "...twice as fast as before!"

She seemed to know what was going on.

When the two held hands, their skin was truly touching.

When hugging, although the area of ​​contact between the two people appears larger, there is no actual skin-to-skin contact.

The clothes the two were wearing had become like insulators.

Chi Yu: "..."

For a moment, it was rather awkward.

She clearly didn't even think about any other colored waste materials.

What Chi Yu had figured out, Shen Yanzhi quickly realized as well.

For a short while, neither of them spoke.

The study was completely silent.

Only when Shen Yanzhi felt that he had been in the study for a while did he speak in a low voice: "I have to leave."

"Okay." Chi Yu glanced at her health points and said gratefully, "It's reached ten days now, thank you."

Hearing those two words from Chi Yu's mouth again, Shen Yanzhi smiled and said, "You're welcome."

He released Chi Yu's hand, and it was at this moment that Shen Yanzhi realized that he had actually been holding Chi Yu's hand the whole time, instead of simply sticking to it as before.

He couldn't help but purse his lips, his already red ears now burning even hotter.

Shen Yan took a step back, creating distance between himself and Chi Yu.

She stood there for more than ten minutes without realizing that her body was getting stiff. When Shen Yan stepped back, Chi Yu's legs suddenly went weak, and Shen Yan quickly caught her: "Are you alright?"

"It's okay, my legs feel a little sore... I'll be fine after a while." Chi Yu put her hand on Shen Yanzhi's arm and took a few steps.

Seeing that she was really alright, Shen Yanzhi knew he couldn't stay in the study any longer. "Then I'll be leaving now."

"it is good."

Seeing Shen Yanzhi's tall figure opening the door, Chi Yu followed behind him, feeling very grateful.

She suddenly thought of something, and seeing that Shen Yanzhi was about to leave after opening the door, Chi Yu quickly called out to him, "Wait."

Shen Yanzhi stopped at the door frame and turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

Chi Yu pursed her lips, hesitated for two seconds, and still asked, "You're helping me so much, aren't you afraid that I'll drain your life force away?"

She remembered.

This is actually the reason why she didn't immediately tell Shen Yanzhi the truth.

Life is such a precious thing for everyone.

Its value is even greater than that of the Renminbi.

Chi Yu recalled that when she was in school, friends or classmates would sometimes ask her for money. Each time, she would hesitate. If they were close, she could lend them a small amount. If the relationship was not so good, Chi Yu would be wary of the risks and carefully refuse.

Chi Yu didn't think she did anything wrong. Not just her, but everyone would react the same way when faced with lending money, weighing the pros and cons and worrying about the risks involved.

This is how everyone reacts when faced with tangible RMB, let alone life, which is even more important than money.

And it's such a mysterious charging method.

Upon hearing this, most people would instinctively feel scared and prioritize their own interests, such as: Will charging her cause any harm to my life and health?
When Chi Yu decided to be honest with Shen Yanzhi, she had already thought of many things to say, and even came up with the idea of ​​swearing an oath to heaven and writing a guarantee to Shen Yanzhi.

As it turned out, Shen Yanzhi seemed not to have thought about these things at all, and agreed to help her without even hesitating for a second.

If he was surprised by what she said, or if he was simply a kind person, then he would have immediately shown concern for her well-being.

During the days the two of them were apart, he should have calmed down and become clear-headed by now.
