chapter-802

In fact, Sihwa had not watched much television. After she was born as an elfin, there was a Korean couple that was traveling and watching DVDs on the beach. She watched with them secretly. There were no commercials on the DVDs.

Fina was not interested in the television, but it heard the commercials every once in a while while Old Time Tea watched the television. Then it recognized the cell phone commercial line.  

Since it was born with a sharp mind, it quickly realized that new cell phones charged more quickly, which was proved by Zhang Zian's actions. If he was hurried to go out, but the phone battery was low, he would usually charge it for a few minutes before leaving. It had not heard him complaining that the his phone battery was dead outside.  

Fina appeared to be snoozing day and night on the cat tree. But in fact, its ears had captured everything going on around it. If there was something it could not understand, it would not speak to ask. Instead, it would search for relevant information in silence in order to infer the meaning of the former. It didn't want to be considered an idiot by the lazy servant.  

Sihwa was shocked.  

"What? Charge for five minutes, then talk for two hours? What magic is this? A dying phone brought back to life? Fina, you are awesome! Are you a magician?" She stared at the phone battery bar icon in disbelief, not knowing what she was talking about herself.

"You should get to know some modern technology." Fina seriously felt that spending too much time with the idiot would lower its own IQ.  

"Fina, you are awesome!" Sihwa almost jumped out of the bathtub in excitement. She opened up her arms to embrace Fina, but missed it. It dodged her arms swiftly. 

Fina squinted. "Do you know that you have bubbles and water all over your body?"

"Hihi! I'm too happy!" Sihwa grinned with embarrassment.  

How should it put it… Maybe it had seen the servant's ugly face too often. They were both being stupid. Fina could not tolerate the servant's stupidity. But when she was being stupid… it was kind of cute. A pretty face was so important in the world!

"Right, Fina, could you slip in the charger for me? I won't tell that cheapskate!" she said as she winked. 

"Don't take a yard when I give you an inch!" Fina threatened her with a serious look on its face.  

In fact, it also thought about bringing the charger inside for good. But it knew that the servant was not joking since it had heard about someone being shocked by a leaking heating rod in a fish tank. It knew that electricity was dangerous. Such a dangerous thing should not be handled by an idiot.   

"Okay, okay. Don't be so mean…" She pouted and complained gently, "You didn't tell me earlier. I thought you just left with the phone…"  

"Do you think that I give a crap about your phone?" Fina said with pride. "When I do something, do I need to explain it to anyone?"  

"Anyway, thank you!" Sihwa shook her head merrily. "Now the battery can last until tonight… Would you like another selfie?"  

"Get out!"

"Fine. We'll skip the selfie. But you don' t have to be so rude…" 

Fina yawned. Maybe too much yelling deprived its brain of oxygen. Usually it was napping by now. But today, it got delayed because of the mermaid moron, which made it especially tired.  

"I'm tired. I'm taking a nap. You should behave yourself." It swirled its tail and jumped to the entrance of the bathroom.  

"Bye bye!" Sihwa waved her hand. 

As Fina stepped outside, it suddenly stopped and looked back. "Besides, don't you know that you can't leave that bathtub? I hate salty fish. I don't want to see your idiot self wriggling on the floor like a salty fish!"  

"Aw! Fine. Don't be so mean. I get it!" Sihwa crumpled her face in embarrassment.  

Oddly enough, in the past when it called her a salty fish, she surely would have jumped off in anger. But now, not only did she not feel angry, but she didn't even feel close. 

Fina made a "humph" with its nostrils then left on its own.  

Sihwa stared at the door for a long time and Fina didn't show up again, which confirmed that it had indeed left.  

Maybe it was just too noisy. She could not get used to the sudden quietness right away… She could not even fully concentrate on playing with her phone with her head down.  

She could hear Pi typing and flipping pages outside the door, and the occasional car honking outside, but the sounds didn't drive away the silence inside the bathroom. On the contrary––it made it even more quiet.

In the past, when she and Fina were fighting, it was noisy. She could not wait for it to leave so that she could enjoy the quietness in the bathroom.  

Now that the quietness was back, she had started to miss the noise. 

She played with the phone for a while. Her mood had been through a roller coaster. Drowsiness crept up like a tide. Her eyelids were fighting with each other. She even dozed off briefly and the phone almost fell into the tub, Zhang Zian reminded her that the phone was waterproof, but it was not wise to test it, as water damage was not covered by the warranty.  

She estimated how fast the power was diminishing, then decided to rest for a while, so that she could keep the power and her own energy for later that night. 

She placed the phone on the bathroom cabinet. As she was about to go underwater to sleep, she suddenly remembered that it was no longer necessary. Then she crossed her arms under her head and leaned against the side of the tub. She fell asleep soon.

A long time had passed.  

"Holy crap! Is it flooding here?"  

A familiar voice suddenly woke Sihwa up. She rubbed her eyes, and saw that it was already dark outside. Zhang Zian stood, astonished, in front of her. 

He glanced over the water that was all over the floor in a discouraged manner. "How many fights did you have today? Who's going to pay for my water bill?" 

Sihwa yawned deeply. "A-jeoan, you are back. Did you get the phone card?" 

Zhang Zian wiped down the water on the floor with the mop and cleared a path. Then he was able to enter the bathroom.  

He dangled what was in his hand. "I got it. Now power off the phone. I'll insert the card, then you can make phone calls."  

"Great!" Sihwa powered off the phone with a thrill then handed the phone to him.  

He inserted the card into the phone, then turned it back on. 

What?  

What happened? Why was there still so much battery left? Didn't she play with the phone? Or did phone batteries last a long time these days?  

"Here you go. You can make phone calls." He handed her the phone, then continued to mop the floor.  

Sihwa carried the phone in excitement. But as she entered the contact list, it was all empty.  

"A-jeoan, tell me your number," she said. 

Zhang Zian gave her his number and warned her, "Don't make useless phone calls. There's a charge if I pick up by mistake!" 

"Pooh! Cheapstake! I'm not gonna call you! It's just the contact list doesn't look good empty!" Sihwa said as she rolled her eyes.
