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

Chapter 53: The Phone Becomes a Desktop Pet (Bonus Chapter for Donations - Two Chapters Combined)

Starting this afternoon, Chi Yu discovered that she inexplicably had a body—the shape of this round, white dough ball.

The chibi-style three-headed figure looks exactly like the emoji that Chi Yu used before; it's useless except for being cute.

Shen Yanzhi always said she was a smart phone user, but now she's really going to become a desktop pet!

Shen Yanzhi also noticed Chi Yu's new skin, but he thought it was the original appearance of the phone spirit. His gaze kept falling on the dough figure, and he seemed quite satisfied with its appearance.

When the phone addict said he wanted to play on the computer, Shen Yanzhi agreed without even asking, "Okay."

Shen Yanzhi sometimes works from home or holds remote meetings. When the house was renovated, a study room was specially set aside for him to work in.

This was Chi Yu's first time entering Shen Yanzhi's study. It had the same cool-toned decor as the living room, with all items neatly arranged. Apart from some essential furniture and a wall full of books, there were almost no other superfluous decorations.

There was only one desktop computer in the study, the one that Shen Yanzhi would occasionally use for work when he was at home.

For him, this type of office computer is actually a very private and sensitive possession.

Computers contain countless valuable and private information, and the loss of any data would be a huge loss to the company's interests.

Shen Yanzhi used to forbid anyone other than himself from touching this computer, but now, he not only turned it on, but also took the initiative to find a data cable to connect his phone to the computer.

Once raw, twice cooked.

Chi Yu climbed up along the data cable.

After the computer is turned on, a cute, doughy little figure appears on the computer's lock screen.

Upon seeing the phone, a slight smile appeared in Shen Yanzhi's eyes.

He entered the password in front of the phone spirit, then asked it, "How does it feel? Are you getting used to it?"

"ヾ(▽)ノOkay!"

Bubbles appeared on the top of the dough figure's head, and even a bright little red flower emerged.

Chi Yu is feeling really comfortable right now.

Cell phones and computers are different; if I had to describe it, it's like the difference between living in a small studio apartment and living in a large villa.

Just like every time she logged into a new device, after Shen Yanzhi unlocked the computer screen, all the information belonging to this computer was integrated into Chi Yu's mind, including Shen Yanzhi's computer lock screen password, as well as... a lot of other top-secret data on the computer.

Chi Yu tried to control the computer.

Shen Yanzhi's computer has top-of-the-line specifications. Although his phone is also very expensive, in terms of performance and memory usage, the computer is definitely the clear winner.

Chi Yu took a quick stroll around and immediately fell in love with it.

She started downloading the software.

Shen Yanzhi noticed that all the software was written in foreign languages. He translated it in his mind and found that they were all related to programming.

This phone is so clever... it's always keeping learning in mind.

Especially in programming, are you particularly fascinated by it?
Shen Yanzhi did not pursue the matter further.

He let the phone play in the study while he went next door to change clothes and prepare for exercise.

As per his usual practice, if he didn't exercise the day before, he would usually do an extra half hour of aerobic exercise the next day to make up for the missed workout.

However, for some reason, Shen Yanzhi only exercised for half an hour before he didn't want to continue.

Shen Yanzhi had never thought he was addicted to his phone before, but now he suddenly realized that without his phone by his side, it always felt like something was missing.

His expression was cold and serious as he began to stretch.

Meanwhile, the phone spirit he was thinking about was already having a great time in the villa!
In front of Shen Yanzhi, Chi Yu downloaded a bunch of programming-related software.

But as soon as Shen Yanzhi left, Chi Yu immediately and furtively downloaded some other software for doing bad things.

These past few days, not a single word of the books he's read has been wasted; Chi Yu's brain is now filled with all sorts of programming-related knowledge and hacking techniques.

When she first puts it into practice, she might feel a little rusty, but once she gets used to it, her coding speed will increase with each iteration.

In the quiet, deserted study, strings of incomprehensible code automatically appeared on the brightly lit computer screen.

The phone connected to the computer also had its screen lit up, but the content displayed on the screen was a live stream from Douyin (TikTok).

After the phone was controlled to turn on a little volume, cheerful sounds immediately filled the live stream room:
"Thank you, Little Fish, for the carnival!"

"Thank you, Jiu Jiu, for the diamond sports car!"

"Thank you, Cheer Up Duck, for the luxury cruise!"

"..."

"Thank you all for your generosity and support!"

Looking at the dazzling array of gifts on the screen, Chen Jiazhi was incredibly excited, her eyes filled with greed.

The trending topic this afternoon caused her to gain 500,000 followers in just a few hours, and all of them are active followers!
Not only did many online media outlets want to interview her, but many talent agencies and management teams also extended offers to her.

Chen Jiazhi and her team felt they shouldn't miss out on this wave of traffic.

So, after dinner, Chen Jiazhi had a makeup artist and stylist come to her home, and after getting ready, she immediately started broadcasting.

And her decision to start broadcasting was undoubtedly the right one!
After she started broadcasting, countless netizens flocked to her channel, showering her with gifts of all sizes!
The afternoon's live stream was mostly filled with friendly donations from people in the industry, but tonight's donations are all genuine voluntary donations from her active fans!

This kind of treatment—being rich even while sitting still, and being the center of attention wherever you go.

Isn't this the life she's always dreamed of? The feeling of her dream coming true so easily made Chen Jiazhi feel a little giddy.

She looked at the screen and couldn't help but speak:
"Actually, besides losing my best friend, there is another thing in my heart that I regret and can never forget."

"Over the years, every time I think about that day, I feel extremely regretful."

"I can't count how many nights I've spent hiding under the covers and crying secretly, my tears soaking my blankets, time and time again."

Her heartfelt words immediately piqued the curiosity of netizens:
[Huh? ]
[Don't cry, Zhizhi! What's wrong? Tell us, and we'll help you make your dream come true!]
[Don't cry, Zhizhi! You're now recognized as our best friend by everyone online. We'll definitely help you if you ever have any difficulties!]
[......]
Countless messages of comfort and support for Chen Jiazhi appeared on the screen. Clearly, these were all active fans who had been drawn in by the incident that was trending on the hot search list this afternoon.

In other words, these people, who had once been forced to lose something or because they didn't know how to cherish it, have now poured all of that into Chen Jiazhi.

When Chen Jiazhi saw these comments, a glint of light appeared in her eyes.

Netizens are indeed the most foolish and easiest to deceive.

She's even easier to fool than Su Muyang.

She sighed softly, "This happened many years ago, and I've long since resigned myself to it. But sometimes I still feel regretful, and it's been bottled up inside for a long time. Today, I suddenly wanted to share it with everyone and see if there are any others who have had the same experience as me."

"I'm not afraid to tell you this, but I'm actually a high school graduate. I've never even stepped foot in a university in my entire life..."

Chi Yu, who was coding, overheard Chen Jiazhi's words.

Chi Yu smiled.

She suddenly realized that Chen Jiazhi was actually quite suited to writing novels.

First comes the regret of lost friendships, then the regret of lost education—both are inevitable experiences for everyone, making it easy for others to empathize.

Chen Jiazhi grasped both of these hot topics extremely well.

Recalling the incident where Chen Jiazhi took the college entrance exam for someone else that she had found out before, Chi Yu certainly didn't think that Chen Jiazhi would be foolish enough to reveal it.

She's probably going to fool netizens again.

Looking at the code he was about to finish, Chi Yu suddenly had a brilliant idea. He dug out the evidence he had found last time about Chen Jiazhi taking the exam for someone else, and then added a few more instructions to the code that was about to be completed.

While Chi Yu was busy working, he listened to Chen Jiazhi's nonsense.

"I didn't understand the importance of studying back then. Later, every time I think of that afternoon when I gave up the college entrance exam, I can't help but cry. I feel regret and self-blame."

"At that time, my grades were pretty good in the class, and my homeroom teacher said that if I studied hard, getting into university wouldn't be a problem."

"But at the time, I actually wanted to make money more than study."

"At the time, I thought that giving up the college entrance examination would lessen the burden on the director and also give other children in the orphanage the opportunity to study..."

"I really want to study."

"I've seen many netizens say, 'What was my first reaction after finding out that my biological parents were the richest people in the world?' Now I can tell you, my thoughts at the time were very simple."

"What I was thinking at the time was, if I hadn't gotten lost when I was little, would I have given up the college entrance examination because I was afraid of not being able to afford the tuition fees and was afraid of adding burden to the welfare home?"

[Aaaaaah! I'm so upset! This really resonated with me! I also had to drop out of school because my family was poor!]
[Sobbing, I was forced to drop out of school by my family before even finishing junior high. For so many years, the word "education" has been a source of pain for me. I'm sobbing! Hearing this made my tears flow freely.]
[Sigh, me too. My family was too poor, and I was young and naive. When I heard I could earn money working outside, I refused to study. I just wanted to earn money to support myself and reduce my parents' burden. As a result, I've been working on an assembly line in an electronics factory for several years, and now I feel numb and lost every day.]
[+1, my peers are full of vigor and ambition at school, their futures look bright, while my life seems predictable.]
[My heart aches for the ladies upstairs. It's truly amazing to be able to earn a living! Don't lose faith in life!]
[Oh my god, it's such a pity about Zhizhi!]
[I'm guessing that Zhizhi was definitely the quiet, somewhat introverted type of student in school, the kind who could sit quietly in her seat all day doing practice problems and complete her homework on time every day.]
[......]
After listening to Chen Jiazhi's words, some viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help but share their similar experiences, while many more netizens felt sorry for Chen Jiazhi. A small number of people sincerely suggested that Chen Jiazhi could improve her education through other means, such as adult college entrance examinations.

The conversation about studying went deeper and deeper, and they gradually forgot about the previous topic.

More and more people are giving Chen Jiazhi tips.

Chen Jiazhi's live stream immediately soared to the top of the rankings.

After finishing typing the last piece of code, Chi Yu vaguely heard footsteps outside the door. She immediately exited the live stream on her phone and turned off Douyin.

Chi Yu quickly closed the several pages that were open on the computer screen.

She quickly uninstalled several software programs, leaving only two programming programs on the desktop to avoid attracting attention.

When Shen Yanzhi pushed the door open, what he saw was a dough figurine sleeping under a small blanket on the computer screen.

Shen Yanzhi was somewhat surprised: "You finished so quickly?"

His exercise and shower time is only about an hour.

The phone addict specifically asked to play on the computer, and he thought there was something very important going on.

"Yeah, I just wanted to try out what it's like to code on a computer."

The little dough ball rolled over, threw off the covers and sat up, rubbing its eyes and the top of its head while exclaiming, "I'm so bored because you haven't come."

Chi Yu only came up with so many tricks because she felt guilty, even using off-stage props (small blankets).

She even pretended to rub her eyes, feeling guilty and avoiding eye contact with Shen Yanzhi.

She knew how perceptive Shen Yanzhi was, and Chi Yu was afraid that Shen Yanzhi would catch her red-handed again.

Little did Chi Yu know that Shen Yanzhi had never suspected her, nor did he intend to investigate what she was doing on the computer. Otherwise, Shen Yanzhi wouldn't have let Chi Yu play with the computer.

Shen Yanzhi only noticed her last sentence the whole time.

It turns out it wasn't that he was addicted to his phone, but rather that his phone was addicted to him. It hadn't been long since they parted, and he missed him so much that he had lost interest in computers and his favorite subject, programming.

Shen Yanzhi picked up his phone, looked at the cub on the computer screen that had gone out to play and hadn't returned, and beckoned to it: "Come back to the phone."

Thank you Fu Qijiu Qinglan for the 100+100+100+100+100+100 reading coins, thank you for the 1666+1666 reading coins, and thank you for the 100 reading coins from Lu Guo Cijian! I've advanced to the second round of the PK! Thank you everyone for your votes! This chapter is long enough, almost four thousand words, but it seems I haven't written it well. I'll check it again tomorrow after I wake up and see if I need to revise it.
