In the hospital corridor, Su Muyue hurried towards Tang Yu's ward.
Her stunning looks drew glances from many along the way.
One middle-aged man, over forty, who had sprained his neck playing basketball and was wearing a cervical collar, was being advised by a nurse.
"Mr. Wang, you need to rest and avoid turning your neck too much..."
Before the nurse could finish, he stared wide-eyed at Su Muyue's figure, turning his head as she passed.
A scream then echoed through the corridor.
Su Muyue, having just heard that Tang Yu was in trouble at an underground gambling den and had been taken to the hospital, rushed over immediately.
When she found Tang Yu's ward, Bai Wanyi was helping him out of the bathroom, her face flushed.
The two women locked eyes, and the atmosphere instantly turned awkward.
Why were they coming out of the bathroom?
"Muyue, you're here! Good timing, help me support him, he's feeling weak," Bai Wanyi quickly called out.
"Alright."
Su Muyue hurried over to help Tang Yu to his bed.
Then she realized something.
If he was so weak, what were they doing in the bathroom? What had Bai Wanyi been helping him with?
Seeing Bai Wanyi run off to wash her hands, Su Muyue's expression turned peculiar.
She should have come earlier.
She turned to Tang Yu and asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing."
Tang Yu chuckled.
[Why did she come so quickly? Does she care about me that much? She seems different from before.]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Su Muyue was slightly taken aback.
A bitter smile crossed her face; she indeed cared more than she used to.
"You guys talk, I'm going to sleep. I'm exhausted from all the fuss last night."
After washing her hands, Bai Wanyi yawned and lay down on another bed, quickly falling asleep to the sound of her soft snores.
With Bai Wanyi asleep, Tang Yu and Su Muyue found themselves at a loss for words.
"Could you get me a glass of water? I'm thirsty."
After a couple of awkward minutes, Tang Yu really felt parched.
"Sure, do you want it warm?"
"Cold is fine."
Su Muyue nodded, filled a disposable cup at the water dispenser, and brought it back.
Tang Yu tried to sit up to drink, but it was a struggle.
So, Su Muyue placed a pillow against the headboard and helped him sit up.
"You're not in a state to drink by yourself, let me help."
Su Muyue held the cup, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Tang Yu.
"Thanks."
Tang Yu opened his mouth slightly.
Su Muyue brought the cup to his lips and slowly helped him drink the water. After finishing, she asked, "Need more?"
"No, I'll just lie down and rest."
Tang Yu shook his head.
【You should drink less until you've fully recovered.】
【Otherwise, you'll need to pee again, and surely you wouldn't want me to help with that, right?】
【Sigh, but let's look on the bright side—at least you didn't need help going number two.】
“……”
Su Muyue's lips twitched upon hearing Tang Yu's inner thoughts.
What on earth is he thinking about every day?
But from what he said, Bai Wanyi really... helped him in the restroom?
She bit her lip, looking somewhat resentfully at her straightforward best friend.
Why would you do that?
A phone call for my help would have sufficed.
“What’s gotten into you today?”
She asked Tang Yu softly.
“It was just a late-night snack with her, and a little trouble at a casino inspection, nothing much.”
Tang Yu replied with a smile.
After that, he didn’t know what else to say.
Being with Su Muyue, he really couldn’t find much in common to talk about.
Mostly because the memories of the past few years were all about being snubbed, facing cold shoulders every day.
They hardly had a normal conversation lasting more than three minutes.
After a moment of silence, Su Muyue spoke.
“If you’re tired, take some rest.”
“Alright.”
Lying down, Tang Yu quickly fell asleep.
Su Muyue sat beside him, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
Being by his side, listening to his mumblings, was actually quite nice.
After sitting quietly for half an hour, Bai Wanyi woke up.
She squinted for a while and felt much better, then looked at Su Muyue and asked, “Is he asleep?”
Su Muyue nodded and made a shushing gesture.
Bai Wanyi sighed, got up, put on her shoes, and whispered, “Then I’ll head back to the police station first.”
Seeing Bai Wanyi leaving, Su Muyue hesitated for a moment but followed.
Seeing her friend join her, Bai Wanyi smiled, “Not staying with Tang Yu?”
“Let him sleep.”
Su Muyue shook her head.
Just seeing him and chatting for a bit, listening to his thoughts, was quite fulfilling.
“You’re just bored, aren’t you? Before, you wouldn’t have taken him even if he was offered for free, and now you’re chasing after him like it’s a matter of life and death.”
Bai Wanyi shrugged, not quite understanding these young people.
Su Muyue just gave a bitter smile.
She didn’t understand herself either.
Not long after the two women left, Tang Yu woke up.
After resting for a while, his body finally began to recover.
“Dog system, where’s my reward?”
He grumbled inwardly.
“Reward system upgraded, plot hint function activated, ensuring that even if the plot collapses, it won’t affect the host’s foresight of the plot.”
The system’s voice echoed in his mind.
Hearing this reward, Tang Yu was somewhat surprised; he had thought that after another direct confrontation, he would be rewarded with some martial arts technique or something.
Instead, the reward was a plot hint function from the system.
This way, even if the plot collapses, it wouldn’t affect his understanding of the upcoming events.
After pondering for a moment, Tang Yu asked, “The auction event will still proceed normally, right?”
Since Lu Junzhuo has taken Ye Chen’s place.
The upcoming auction event would be crucial.
In the original plot, Ye Chen acquired an antique at the auction at a low price.
Hidden within the antique were a pill and an ancient martial arts technique, which greatly enhanced his strength.
Han Mingxuan from Yanjing was the one who was killed for competing with Ye Chen over this item.
The system is becoming more and more cunning, stubbornly refusing to provide any useful ancient martial arts.
If that's the case, then I must seize the opportunity that belongs to the Dragon King!
"Ding, the plot will proceed normally, and the storyline has been fully prompted."
The system quickly outlined the auction's plot in Tang Yu's mind.
As expected, the protagonist of the story has changed.
The one who now holds the opportunity has shifted from Ye Chen to Lu Junzhuo.
After familiarizing himself with this part of the story, Tang Yu already had a plan in mind.
If the system is unreliable, then I'll rely on myself!
