Shi Xinxin remembered something important—Sheng Chenjin's phone was with her. He wouldn't not call or text her back.
At this moment, she had to call Sheng Chenjin.
Shi Xinxin took out her phone from her bag and dialed Sheng Chenjin's number. As soon as the call connected, she immediately said, "You forgot your phone here." She paused and asked tentatively, "Are you home yet?"
"No, I'm at the company."
Sheng Chenjin's tone sounded indifferent, as if he wasn't upset or sad about being kicked out of the company by Sheng Wen Kai.
Shi Xinxin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then continue your work. I'll contact you when you're done."
"Mm."
Sheng Chenjin hung up the phone.
Sheng Mengyi had finished chopping the fish and brought the plate to the dining table, calling out, "Xinxin jie jie, come and eat!"
Shi Xinxin wiped her hands and walked over, saying, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome." Sheng Mengyi blinked her eyes. "If you want to thank me, you can introduce me to some handsome guys!"
"No problem!" Shi Xinxin said cheerfully, "Tell me who you want to meet."
"Hehe, that's great!" Sheng Mengyi picked up a piece of fish and offered it to Shi Xinxin's mouth. "Here, a reward for you!"
"I'll eat it myself!" Shi Xinxin dodged, "I'll do it myself."
"Alright." Sheng Mengyi shrugged. "You taste it first and see how it is."
Shi Xinxin took a bite and nodded, "It's quite fresh and tender."
"Of course!" Sheng Mengyi said proudly. "I just searched online. 'Chen Jin Group' has a new ingredient called 'caviar,' and it tastes very good. I bought a lot of it."
"Mm." Shi Xinxin asked nonchalantly while drinking soup, "Does your brother have a girlfriend?"
Sheng Mengyi shook her head and emphasized word by word, "Only one!" She added, "My brother doesn't like women!"
"Oh..." Shi Xinxin drew out the sound, nodding thoughtfully, "I understand."
Sheng Mengyi asked, confused, "Xinxin jie jie, what do you understand?"
Shi Xinxin gave Sheng Mengyi a meaningful look and said, "Nothing."
Although Sheng Mengyi was still young, her intelligence was more than enough. She immediately sensed that Shi Xinxin's words had a hidden meaning.
She blinked her eyes. "Could it be that Xinxin jie jie has met my brother's girlfriend?"
"No, just guessing." Shi Xinxin said with a smile, "I'm going to eat. You can chop the fish slowly."
"Mm, okay!"
Sheng Mengyi focused on chopping the fish.
Shi Xinxin left the kitchen and sat back down by the sofa, taking out her phone to play games.
Today, they were teaming up to clear a dungeon in the wild.
These daily quests were perfect for Shi Xinxin and Song Jiqing.
Song Jiqing would usually choose to protect Shi Xinxin, allowing Shi Xinxin to get the MVP.
But today, Shi Xinxin took the initiative to ask to protect him, so he went along with it, and they both got the MVP together.
As Shi Xinxin was playing the game, her phone suddenly beeped.
She swiped open the screen and saw that Sheng Chenjin had replied to her message. There were only two words—
[Good night.]
"Pfft!" Shi Xinxin burst into laughter.
"Hahaha..." Sheng Mengyi saw Shi Xinxin's reaction and was amused. She stopped chopping fish and leaned over to gossip, "Xinxin jie jie, who is it?"
Shi Xinxin handed her phone to Sheng Mengyi.
"Wow!" Sheng Mengyi's eyes widened. "It's my brother!"
"Uh-huh." Shi Xinxin smiled even brighter. "Your brother replied to you!"
Sheng Mengyi held the phone, almost jumping with excitement, and murmured, "My brother actually said goodnight to me!"
"Uh-huh?" Shi Xinxin stroked Sheng Mengyi's head. "Don't get too excited! Your brother not only replied to you, but he also replied to me."
"..." Sheng Mengyi froze for a moment and then turned to look at Shi Xinxin.
She saw Shi Xinxin typing a message, sending a string of English.
"What's going on?"
Sheng Mengyi looked at Shi Xinxin with confusion. Shi Xinxin was typing on the keyboard, saying:
[Xinxin: Are you asleep yet?]
[Chen Jin: Not yet.]
[Xinxin: Are you at the company?]
[Chen Jin: Mm.]
[Chen Jin: What are you doing?]
[Xinxin: Playing games.]
[Chen Jin: Playing that game, Honor of Kings?]
[Xinxin: Yes, I'm an streamer.]
[Chen Jin: Oh, I know.]
[Xinxin: ???]
Shi Xinxin looked at these lines of text and felt something was off.
However, she couldn't understand how Sheng Chenjin knew she played games if she was an streamer.
Besides her parents and Sheng Mengyi, even her own brother didn't know her account password.
Did Sheng Chenjin hack into her phone to check?
No way!
Sheng Chenjin had his own phone and didn't usually check her account, so why would he hack into her phone?
Shi Xinxin couldn't figure it out, so she simply asked: [How did you know I play Honor of Kings?]
Sheng Chenjin pondered for a moment before replying, "I saw the promotional image you posted for the game."
Shi Xinxin was confused again and asked persistently, "Then how did you know my phone password?"
"I asked A Guang, and he told me." Sheng Chenjin seemed to hesitate, then said, "Xinxin, can I know your account password?"
What was this?
A hint before a date?
However, she didn't have the right to refuse!
Shi Xinxin agreed without hesitation.
Sheng Chenjin sent a string of numbers: "This is it."
Shi Xinxin noted down the string of numbers, entered her username, and logged into the game.
Before the game started, Sheng Chenjin sent a message, the content was simple:
[Chen Jin: Good luck.]
Shi Xinxin replied: [Mm.]
After the game started, Shi Xinxin led her team to kill the opposing red buff, and at the same time reminded her teammates to be careful.
Shi Xinxin was a mid-laner. Her skills were stable, and her teammates cooperated well, so they won the game at the end of the match.
Shi Xinxin exited the game and put down her phone.
Just then, the takeout arrived.
Sheng Mengyi opened the lid of the box and took out the steaming hot food, placing it on the dining table.
The meal was rich and plentiful. Shi Xinxin was hungry and couldn't wait to start eating with her chopsticks.
Sheng Mengyi peeled shrimp for herself while complaining, "My brother is definitely doing it on purpose!"
"Why do you say that?" Shi Xinxin asked as she poured rice into her bowl.
"He doesn't like spicy food." Sheng Mengyi sighed. "Every time he comes to my house for dinner, he only orders bland dishes. But our family's cooking is especially delicious, and my parents never let him eat less. So, my brother secretly eats chilies when we're not paying attention."
"So that's how it is!" Shi Xinxin suddenly realized, "No wonder he said goodnight to you earlier!"
"Sigh..." Sheng Mengyi sighed again. "My brother is really annoying!"
Shi Xinxin suppressed a smile, patted Sheng Mengyi's back, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, you'll have a companion in the future!"
"I'm not afraid!" Sheng Mengyi said carelessly. "I have my idol protecting me! Besides, my brother isn't my idol!"
Shi Xinxin raised an eyebrow slightly. "You like Xiao Yan?"
