Su Muyue hurried towards Tang Yu's hospital room.
Because of her striking beauty, many people couldn't help but glance at her as she passed by.
Among them was a middle-aged man in his forties, who had sprained his neck playing basketball and was wearing a neck brace.
"Mr. Wang, you need to rest and avoid turning your neck too much in the coming days..."
The nurse beside him was advising.
Before she could finish, he turned his head to stare at Su Muyue, causing a sharp pain and letting out a scream.
Su Muyue moved quickly, having just received news that Tang Yu had been in an incident at the underground casino and was brought to the hospital.
She rushed over immediately.
When she found Tang Yu's room, Bai Wanyi was blushing as she helped Tang Yu out of the bathroom.
The two women locked eyes, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Why were they coming out of the bathroom together?
"Muyue, you're here! Perfect timing, come help me support him, he's exhausted," Bai Wanyi quickly said, thinking on her feet.
Su Muyue hurried over to help Tang Yu to the bed.
Then she suddenly realized something.
This guy was so exhausted he could barely walk.
So what were the two of them doing in the bathroom? What exactly did Bai Wanyi help him with?
Seeing Bai Wanyi go to wash her hands, Su Muyue's expression turned a bit odd.
If she had known... she would have come sooner.
She turned to Tang Yu and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Nothing much," Tang Yu chuckled.
[How did she get here so fast?]
[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 flashed across her face; she indeed wasn't the same as before.
The old her wouldn't have cared so much about him.
"You guys chat, I'm going to take a nap. I'm exhausted from last night," Bai Wanyi said with a yawn, lying down on another hospital bed to nap.
She planned to rest for a bit before going back to the office to handle the casino incident.
Within minutes, she was asleep, and Tang Yu and Su Muyue could hear her soft snores.
Once she was asleep, Tang Yu and Su Muyue looked at each other, struggling to find a topic to discuss.
"Could you get me a glass of water? I'm thirsty."
After two minutes of awkward silence, Tang Yu was genuinely feeling parched.
"Sure, do you want it warm?"
Su Muyue nodded, grabbed a disposable cup, and went to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water.
Tang Yu tried to sit up to drink.
But his body hadn't fully recovered, and even sitting up was difficult.
So Su Muyue placed the water aside, grabbed a pillow to prop him up, and helped him sit.
"You can't drink , let me help you," Su Muyue said, her eyes sparkling as she held the cup.
Tang Yu slightly opened his mouth.
Su Muyue brought the cup to his lips, slowly helping him finish the water, then asked, "Do you want more?"
"No, I'll just rest for a while."
Tang Yu shook his head.
[Better to drink less until I recover.]
[Otherwise, if I need to pee later, I can't ask you to help, can I?]
[Sigh, but at least I don't need help with anything worse.]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Su Muyue's mouth twitched.
What on earth was this guy thinking all day?
But from what he implied, Bai Wanyi really did... help him in the bathroom?
She bit her lip, casting a slightly resentful glance at her carefree bestie.
A simple call, and I could have come to help.
"What happened to you today?" she asked Tang Yu softly.
"Just had a late-night snack with her, then ran into some trouble while checking out the casino, nothing much," Tang Yu replied with a smile.
After speaking, he didn't know what else to say.
Being with Su Muyue, he couldn't find much to talk about.
Mainly because those years were spent simping, always met with cold shoulders.
They hadn't even had a normal conversation lasting more than three minutes.
After a moment of silence, Su Muyue spoke.
"If you're tired, just rest for a bit."
Lying down, Tang Yu closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
Sitting beside him, Su Muyue felt a sense of contentment.
Being by his side, listening to his inner thoughts, was actually quite nice.
After half an hour of quiet, Bai Wanyi woke up.
Feeling much better after her nap, she looked at Su Muyue and asked, "Is he asleep?"
Su Muyue nodded, making a shushing gesture.
Bai Wanyi sighed, got up, put on her shoes, and whispered, "I'll head back to the police station."
Seeing Bai Wanyi leaving, Su Muyue hesitated for a moment and followed.
Seeing her bestie follow, Bai Wanyi chuckled, "Not staying with Tang Yu?"
Su Muyue shook her head.
Just meeting, chatting a bit, and hearing his thoughts was satisfying enough.
"You really are something. He was given to you for free before, and now you're chasing him like it's a funeral."
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 a bit, his body finally started to recover.
"Shitty System, where's my reward?"
He grumbled in his mind.
"Reward: System upgrade, unlocking the plot hint function to ensure that even if the plot deviates, the host can still foresee it."
The system's voice echoed in his mind.
Hearing this reward, Tang Yu was a bit surprised. He had expected some martial arts technique or something after his confrontation.
Unexpectedly, the reward was a plot hint function from the system.
This way, even if the plot deviates, he can still follow the story.
After pondering for a moment, Tang Yu asked, "Will the auction plot proceed as normal?"
Since Lu Junzhuo had taken Ye Chen's place, the upcoming auction plot would be crucial.
In the original plot, Ye Chen acquired an antique at a low price at the auction.
Inside the antique were an elixir and an ancient martial arts technique, significantly boosting his strength.
Han Mingxuan from Yanjing had tried to snatch it from Ye Chen and was killed.
This system was getting sneakier, refusing to give him useful ancient martial arts.
In that case, he would seize the Dragon King's opportunity!
"Beep, it will proceed as normal. Plot hint completed."
The system quickly provided the auction plot hint in Tang Yu's mind.
As expected, the protagonist of the plot had changed.
The opportunity now belonged to Lu Junzhuo instead of Ye Chen.
Familiarizing himself with this plot, Tang Yu already had a plan in mind.
Can't rely on the system! I'll rely on myself!
