Lin Group, top floor.
Lin Baizhi's office.
"You're the little kid, your whole family are little kids! You idiot, you'll never get to drink strawberry milk in your entire life, you big dumb pig..."
The room echoed with Xia Tongxin's ultimate loli voice coming from the phone. It was so crisp and clear that it left Lin Baizhi slightly stunned. It wasn't easy to find such a civilized way of swearing these days.
From the tone, she could tell that the "little kid" on the other end was angry, really angry. But... the "trash talk" she was outputting truly had zero attack power.
In fact... it even felt inexplicably satisfying to listen to.
Baby, your scolding sounds like you're acting spoiled, you know?
Although it lacked attack power, she was still cursing after all. Lin Baizhi felt she should show some basic respect, otherwise, what if the "little kid" hung up the phone?
She still wanted that found phone!
She couldn't wait to see what good stuff her brother was hiding in his phone. Would there be any inappropriate photos, or some rather...
Lin Baizhi grew excited, her eyes burning with a fiery desire for Ye Cheng's phone. Great, after all these years, she finally caught an opportunity. She was going to look through it thoroughly!!!
"Little kid, can you send me your location? I'll come over right away, and big sister will treat you to something delicious." Lin Baizhi waited until Xia Tongxin got tired of scolding and, during her break, spoke in a very gentle voice, coaxing Xia Tongxin to reveal her location.
"You're the little kid, your whole family are little kids! You big dumb pig, demon, pervert..." Xia Tongxin entered a state of extreme fury.
She grumbled a whole bunch of insults and hung up the phone before Lin Baizhi could even react.
Lin Baizhi: "..."
What did that mean? She had baited the spot for so long, and the fish just ran away?
Feeling indignant, Lin Baizhi hurriedly made a video call. As long as the other party answered, she could immediately lock onto Xia Tongxin's current location through the background, and naturally, lock onto Xia Tongxin herself.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
Unanswered.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
Unanswered.
"Beep, beep..."
As time passed, Lin Baizhi became more and more anxious. What if she really handed the phone over to the police?
She still needed to look through it!!!
"Ding-dong!"
Just as Lin Baizhi was anxiously preparing to have her subordinates investigate Ye Cheng's movement trajectory for the day, the phone she kept dialing finally connected. A little thing with pink hair and a pink brain appeared on the screen, leaving Lin Baizhi stunned.
Over the phone, Xia Tongxin's crisp voice came through.
"What are you doing? You're so annoying! Why do you keep calling? Didn't you see me hang up? That means I don't want to talk to you. Why do you keep calling?"
Well-reasoned and grounded, Xia Tongxin was trying to reason with Lin Baizhi.
She felt that Lin Baizhi's behavior of constantly calling was very impolite.
Lin Baizhi: "..."
Was she really... a little kid?
She looked like she was still in elementary school?
Carved from jade, her features were too perfect. Especially those clear, light blue eyes. One look and you could tell she had no ulterior motives. At the very least, someone who had been severely beaten by society wouldn't have such a gaze.
Lin Baizhi didn't believe an adult could still have such eyes, nor did she believe an adult could be this naive.
Nonsense.
Did she not know that the other party's constant refusal to answer the phone meant they didn't want to listen? Did she not know it was very impolite? Did she want it to be like this?
Just like those simps with red clown noses, if your goddess ignores you, does that stop you from sending daily greetings like "Good morning," "Good night," "Have you eaten?" "What did you eat?" "Was it good..." and other such nonsense?
Did they not know that such behavior was called "bothering people" and being impolite?
Answer me, look in my eyes!!!
After confirming that the little pink-haired thing on the other end was a naive elementary school student, Lin Baizhi prepared to start bluffing her. But suddenly, a little maid's voice came from the side.
"Miss, it's very impolite for us to take someone else's phone and say such things. We shouldn't do this."
"Oh... if you put it that way, isn't this Sister Lin also impolite? Others won't reply to her messages, yet she keeps asking here..." Xia Tongxin retorted in her crisp voice.
"Uh..." The little maid's tone faltered.
Lin Baizhi: "???"
Hearing the conversation between Xia Tongxin and the little maid beside her, for some unknown reason, Lin Baizhi's defenses suddenly broke. What the hell do you mean, not replying to messages yet keeping on sending them... Bastard, shut up!
You don't understand, this is just part of my plan, and it will take effect very soon!
Damn it, woo woo...
Taking a stray bullet in silence, Lin Baizhi inexplicably felt like she didn't want to live anymore. To actually be attacked by a little brat, damn it, woo woo...
"Is this what they call a simp?" Xia Tongxin's slightly puzzled voice came from the phone.
Little maid: "..."
Lin Baizhi: "???"
Visibly, Lin Baizhi's face turned red with anger!
Simp? You're the simp, your whole family are simps!!!
"Miss, Miss, you can't say this to someone's face, shush..." The little maid hurriedly made a shushing gesture, and Xia Tongxin nodded as if she half understood.
"Oh, alright." Xia Tongxin was still a very obedient good baby. Such hurtful words were obviously wrong to say, so since she couldn't say them, she would just drop it and not say them.
Although the big dumb pig on the other side just called her a little kid, considering she had already scolded her for so long, she decided to be the bigger person and not stoop to the level of the simp on the other end.
Simps were so pitiful. When she was surfing the internet before and saw people talking about simps, she felt they were so pitiful, sending so many messages every day, only for the other person not to reply...
Lin Baizhi: "???"
Simp?
Can't say it to her face?
"Who are you calling a simp!" Lin Baizhi finally exploded. Her previous gentle big sister facade was completely torn to shreds, revealing her fangs, looking as if she wanted to eat someone alive.
"Miss, hang up quickly, she's angry!" the little maid hurriedly said, her face full of anxiety as she gave advice from the side.
Xia Tongxin pouted. Although she was a bit reluctant, thinking about the pitiful simp on the other end, she decided not to make a fuss. She prepared to hang up the phone, but right before doing so, she showed off her magnanimity.
"Alright, seeing as you're so pitiful, this lady won't hold it against you. But I still need to remind you, in the future, when people don't reply to your messages, don't keep sending them. The same goes for calling. It's very impolite..."
"Shush, Miss, Miss, stop talking, she looks like she's crying..."
"Crying? Really? Let me see!" Xia Tongxin's slightly excited voice came through. Her big eyes were full of curiosity as she stared at Lin Baizhi on the other end of the phone.
Lin Baizhi lowered her head, not saying a word, her body trembling slightly. If you turned the speaker and volume up to the maximum, you could hear the faint sound of sobbing, very distinctly!
She was really crying!
Beep beep beep...
The call was abruptly hung up by the little maid on Xia Tongxin's end. She didn't dare to let it continue. The poor girl was already heartbroken enough, and her young miss was just rubbing salt in the wound...
The phone disconnected.
In the huge office, the only sound that could be heard was Lin Baizhi sobbing alone.
How does the saying go?
Lies do not hurt; the truth is the sharpest blade.
Lin Baizhi had encountered more than her fair share of people throwing dirty water at her. Her mentality was already strong enough. Let alone being heartbroken, even paying attention to them would be considered a loss for her. But why did she shed tears just because of a few words from Xia Tongxin?
It was because she was too accurate. Comparing her actions, the word simp was practically written all over her face. Looking in the mirror, she noticed her nose was bright red.
Why... I was clearly the first one, why would she say that about me...
I am not a simp, I am not... boohoo...
Muttering to herself for a while, Lin Baizhi still couldn't hold it in. She burst into loud tears, got down from her office chair, ran barefoot into the bedroom, and hugged a pillow as she bawled her eyes out.
This time, even her heavy smoky makeup couldn't hide Lin Baizhi's girlish heartbreak.
...
In the hospital.
Xia Tongxin blinked, looking at the disconnected video call on the phone.
Eh, why did she hang up?
The little maid was speechless.
Miss, is it possible that we were the ones who hung up? The little maid, looking slightly silent, couldn't help but speak up to remind her young miss.
Oh, alright. Xia Tongxin blinked, holding Ye Cheng's phone and preparing to study it for a while longer. Ye Cheng's phone felt much smoother to use than hers.
Why is his phone different from mine? I want to use this one too, this one is so nice to use! Xia Tongxin dangled Ye Cheng's phone in front of the little maid.
The little maid was full of question marks.
Miss, it is the exact same model of phone, just a different color. The little maid took out Xia Tongxin's phone, which was also a top-tier model, and a custom pink one at that.
Xia Tongxin blinked and took a look... It seemed to be true, it was the same phone. But why did Ye Cheng's just feel better to use?
Xia Tongxin grabbed both phones with her small hands and weighed them. Her little brows furrowed. Liar, his phone is heavier than mine!
The little maid was confused again.
How is that possible? They are the same phone, how could it be heavier?
And for it to be a weight difference that their young miss could detect, it had to be very obvious. Could it just be a psychological effect?
Just like having the same lollipop or spicy strip, but feeling like the one in someone else's mouth tastes better. This was a classic psychological effect!
Harboring such thoughts, the little maid took the phones from Xia Tongxin's hands and compared the two. Then... a giant question mark popped up over her head.
It was true!
It really was heavier, and noticeably so!
How did he do that?
Uh... Miss, I am not very clear about this either. How about we ask Young Master Ye when he comes out? How would the little maid know about these things? But it was obvious her young miss was right; it really was much heavier and not the same phone.
Oh, alright. Xia Tongxin pouted and continued to sit in the chair, holding Ye Cheng's phone and looking through it.
Is this one also a simp?
Suddenly, Xia Tongxin pointed to Tang Yuyao's Green Bubble profile picture and asked. There were also many messages, all unread, sent continuously. Compared to Lin Baizhi, it was even more extreme.
Lin Baizhi would at least be afraid of saying the wrong thing, or that messaging too frequently would annoy Ye Cheng or make him suspicious. But Tang Yuyao did not have this problem at all. She opened with a message bombardment, followed by a display of national swear words...
If you do not reply, I will beat you to death!
The little maid scrutinized it for a moment and fell slightly silent. Miss, it seems this one is not. This one looks like Young Master Ye's girlfriend...
Whether it was Tang Yuyao's tone of voice or the content, it sounded like a couple, and the kind that was about to meet the parents. It was just that her way of communicating was a bit simple and rough.
The little maid did not even dare to let her young miss read too much. What if she learned bad habits?
Miss, let us stop looking. Young Master Ye will be angry if he finds out. It is impolite...
I am his lifesaver! What is wrong with taking a look! Xia Tongxin put on an arrogant front, puffing out her little chest, her face full of pride and confidence.
The little maid was speechless.
Miss, this is called moral kidnapping. In TV shows, the people who say things like this are all villains...
Although she said that, Xia Tongxin's body was quite honest. She prepared to put down Ye Cheng's phone and wait for him to wake up so she could properly remind him that she was his lifesaver!
Hmm... to remind him better, I should add him on Green Bubble first. Mwahaha, you little fry, you better properly thank this young miss for her great grace...
Xia Tongxin tapped on her Green Bubble friend QR code and scanned it with Ye Cheng's phone.
Beep!
Add failed. You have been added to the blacklist by this user!
Xia Tongxin was dumbfounded.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
