In the Hospital Corridor
Su Muyue was hastily heading toward Tang Yu's room.
Due to her stunning beauty, many people along the way couldn't help but stare at her.
One of the men in his forties, who had suffered a neck injury while playing basketball and was wearing a neck brace, was staring intently at her.
"Mr. Wang, during this period, you must take care of your neck and avoid excessive movement..."
The nurse beside him was giving him instructions.
Before the nurse could finish speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Muyue, causing a cry of pain to echo down the hallway.
Su Muyue was walking quickly; she had just received news that Tang Yu had gotten into trouble at an illegal casino and had been taken to the hospital.
So, she hurried to get there.
When she found Tang Yu's room, she saw Bai Wanyi, her face flushed, helping Tang Yu out of the bathroom.
The two women stared at each other, and the atmosphere immediately became somewhat awkward.
How did they end up coming out of the bathroom together?
"Muyue, you arrived just in time. Come help me get him to bed, he's exhausted," Bai Wanyi quickly asked for help.
"Okay."
Su Muyue rushed to help him back to bed.
Then she noticed something.
This guy was so weak he could barely move properly.
So, what were Bai Wanyi and him doing in the bathroom?
Seeing her go wash her hands, Su Muyue had a strange expression.
If she had known... she should have arrived earlier.
She looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's nothing."
Tang Yu smiled.
[How did she get here so quickly?]
[Does she care about me that much? Is she really worried about me? It seems like this woman is changing a lot.]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Su Muyue was a bit surprised.
A wry smile appeared on her face; indeed, she had changed.
She didn't use to care about him this much before.
"You two go ahead and talk. I'm going to sleep for a while. I'm exhausted after a long night of work," Bai Wanyi said after washing her hands, yawning, and lying down on the other bed, starting to doze off.
She would rest for a while before returning to work to solve the problems at the casino.
Not two minutes had passed before she was asleep, and both Tang Yu and Su Muyue could hear her soft snores.
Once she fell asleep, they looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say.
"Could you bring me a glass of water? I'm thirsty."
After staring in silence for two minutes, Tang Yu really felt a bit thirsty.
"Sure, do you want hot or cold water?"
"Cold is fine."
"Su Mu Yue nodded, took a disposable cup, and went to the water dispenser to fill it."
Tang Yu tried to sit up to drink the water.
But he was still a bit weak, and sitting up was difficult for him.
"Then, Su Mu Yue placed the glass aside, took a pillow, and put it at the head of the bed, helping Tang Yu to sit up."
"It's hard for you to drink alone, let me help you with that."
Su Muyue held the cup with bright eyes as she looked at Tang Yu.
"Thanks."
Tang Yu slightly opened his mouth.
"Su Muyue brought the cup to his mouth, and after Tang Yu finished drinking, she asked, 'Do you want more?'"
"No, that's okay. Now I just want to rest a bit."
Tang Yu shook his head.
[It's better not to drink too much until I recover.]
[Otherwise, if I have to pee again, I don't want you to have to help me.]
[Well, at least it's not a diarrhea issue that needs more help.]
"…"
Su Muyue, hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, forced a smile.
What the heck is this guy always thinking about?
But it seems, according to what he said, that Bai Wanyi really... helped him go to the bathroom?
She bit her lip and looked at her carefree friend with some resentment.
Why would you do something like this?
You could have called me to come and help.
"What happened to you today?"
She looked at Tang Yu and asked softly.
"I just went out for dinner with her, and then we went to investigate an illegal casino and ran into some trouble. It's no big deal."
Tang Yu replied with a smile.
After that, he didn't know what else to say.
Being with Su Muyue, he couldn't find many topics for conversation.
The main reason was that in previous years, he was just a "puppy" receiving cold looks every day.
They didn't even have a normal conversation lasting more than three minutes.
Su Muyue remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"If you're tired, rest a bit."
"Alright."
Tang Yu lay down and closed his eyes, soon falling asleep.
Su Muyue sat beside him, feeling content.
Being by his side and listening to his thoughts was quite pleasant for her.
After sitting in silence for half an hour, Bai Wanyi woke up.
She felt much better after resting a bit and, looking at Su Muyue, asked, "Is he asleep?"
She nodded and gestured for silence.
Bai Wanyi sighed, put on her shoes, and said quietly, "Then I'll head back to the police station."
Seeing Bai Wanyi leave, Su Muyue hesitated for a moment and followed her.
Noticing her friend following, Bai Wanyi smiled and said, "Aren't you going to stay with Tang Yu?"
"No, I'll just let him sleep."
Su Muyue shook her head.
Being here for a while, talking a bit with him, and listening to his thoughts was enough for her.
"You've become a mess. You used to reject him and didn't want anything, and now you're chasing him to the ends of the earth."
Bai Wanyi shrugged, not understanding young people much. Well, though she wasn't that old either.
Su Muyue just smiled bitterly.
She didn't quite understand why either.
A while after the two women left, Tang Yu woke up.
After resting a bit, his body finally began to recover.
"Stupid system, where's the reward?"
he asked in his mind.
"The system reward has been updated. The plot warning function has been activated, ensuring that plot collapse does not affect the host's plot foresight."
The system's voice echoed in his mind.
Hearing this, Tang Yu was surprised.
He thought that after another confrontation, he would receive a technique or skill.
But he didn't expect the reward to be a plot warning function.
This meant that plot collapse would not affect his ability to foresee the story's development in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Yu asked, "Will the plot of the next auction event proceed normally?"
Since Lu Junzhuo had taken Ye Chen's place.
Then the plot of the next auction would be very important.
In the original plot, Ye Chen had acquired an antique at a low price at the auction.
Inside that antique was a pill and an ancient martial arts technique, which greatly enhanced his strength.
Han Mingxuan, who came before Yanjing, had been killed for trying to steal that antique.
The system was becoming more and more cunning, refusing to give him a useful ancient technique.
If that was the case, he would compete for the opportunity that belonged to the Dragon King.
"Ding, the auction event will proceed normally. The plot has been updated."
The system soon displayed the auction event in Tang Yu's mind.
As expected, the protagonist of the plot had changed.
The opportunity that used to be Ye Chen's was now Lu Junzhuo's.
After familiarizing himself with this part of the plot, Tang Yu already had a plan in mind.
Since the system is unreliable, then I'll rely on myself!
