Chapter 116: The Awkward Atmosphere in the Restroom

Suddenly, a sharp pain radiated from his arm.

Su Bai slapped his own head.

The original purpose of awakening the system was to exchange potions for Yang Mengke.

Now that he was injured, he had completely forgotten to exchange any potions.

Su Bai opened the potion system homepage.

He immediately typed in "Wound Healing Potion!"

[Basic Wound Healing Potion: 50,000 points!]

[Intermediate Wound Healing Potion: 100,000 points!]

[Advanced Wound Healing Potion: 200,000 points!]

Without hesitation, Su Bai selected the advanced potion.

[Ding! Host’s current wound condition suggests selecting the basic potion!]

[Basic Potion: Gradual healing within 24 hours!]

[Intermediate Potion: Gradual healing within 1 hour!]

[Advanced Potion: Instant healing!]

Su Bai pondered for a moment but chose the [Basic Potion].

Not because he was reluctant to spend points, but because the effect was too extraordinary to explain!

After exchanging for the [Basic Wound Healing Potion], he discreetly applied the potion to his injury while no one was paying attention.

Su Bai clearly felt a tingling sensation spreading from the wound.

After Liu Lei left, Yang Xiaomi looked at Su Bai with concern and asked, “What should we do, Su Bai?”

“Being watched by a hungry wolf like that, it’s probably hard to get a peaceful night’s sleep! Why don’t you come with me to Yanjing? It’s definitely safer there—the criminals won’t dare cause trouble.”

Yang Xiaomi’s reminder suddenly made Su Bai realize something.

He could use the items from the dead lone wolf to explore the wolf’s base.

But since the base was too far away from here, he’d have to wait for an opportunity to go abroad.

Su Bai said to Yang Xiaomi, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

“You saw it yourself; ordinary criminals can’t do much against me!”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaomi’s curiosity surged.

Everyone online had spread stories about Su Bai’s background.

He grew up in an orphanage, later started his own company, did deliveries, and now was a singer.

There was simply no time for him to have learned such formidable skills!

“Su Bai, when did you learn all these martial arts?”

Su Bai had long anticipated this question.

He gave the same explanation to everyone.

From Su Bai’s explanation, Yang Xiaomi learned that when he was young in the orphanage, an old white-bearded man had secretly taught him.

Unfortunately, that elder was likely no longer alive.

Otherwise, Yang Xiaomi would have loved to meet this mysterious figure who had trained someone as exceptional as Su Bai.

Although Su Bai insisted he was fine, his injured arm forced him to reluctantly use an IV drip.

However, the IV couldn’t be attached to the injured arm.

Su Bai didn’t understand the theory but the nurse insisted.

Helpless, Su Bai hung the IV on his uninjured arm.

After a whole morning passed, Su Bai felt a strong urge to urinate.

It was unbearable.

He sensed that after half a day of healing, his injured hand could more or less move freely.

Though it still ached, the pain was much less intense.

When Su Bai reached with his injured hand to adjust the IV, Yang Xiaomi immediately stood up. “What are you doing? Didn’t the doctor say not to move?”

“If you need anything, just tell me!”

Su Bai hesitated but finally admitted, “I need to go to the bathroom!”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaomi blurted out, “You should have just said so! I’ll hold the IV for you!”

Holding the IV was no problem, but once in the bathroom, both found themselves in an awkward predicament.

If Yang Xiaomi hadn’t been there, Su Bai would have simply undone his belt with the injured hand.

But now, Yang Xiaomi surely wouldn’t allow that.

Seeing Su Bai’s dilemma, Yang Xiaomi suddenly blushed deeply.

“Well… um, how about I help you take it off?”

“I… I’ll close my eyes!”

Turning away, she shut her eyes and fumbled toward Su Bai’s belt.

After quite some effort, she managed to undo it.

Then, unexpectedly, she froze.

After all that groping, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned strange.

Su Bai whispered, “The belt’s undone. How about I handle the rest myself? Maybe you should step outside?”

Yang Xiaomi stubbornly shook her head.

“No, your hand can’t move or you might suffer lasting damage!”

“I… I’ll help you take it off…”

Yang Xiaomi tried several times but felt something blocking her.

Unable to undo it, her stubbornness flared and she pulled sharply.

“Eep! Xiaomi, maybe I should do it myself. You’re being rougher than my hand…”

Hearing Su Bai’s shout, Yang Xiaomi instinctively turned and opened her eyes to see what was going on.

“Ah…”

Seeing the scene before her, Yang Xiaomi screamed outright.

Suddenly realizing it was inappropriate, she covered her mouth with her hands.

Her heartbeat raced uncontrollably, and her cheeks flushed.

Hearing the sound of running water, her face grew even hotter.

After a long time, the two emerged from the bathroom, still enveloped in an awkward atmosphere.

“Well… Su Bai, do you want some water?”

“I’ll pour you a glass?”

Yang Xiaomi had hoped to ease the tension with this topic.

But Su Bai laughed wryly.

“Better not. I’ll drink after the IV is done.”

“Otherwise, you’ll have to suffer through another bathroom trip with me!”

Yang Xiaomi’s face turned bright red again.

She instinctively tapped Su Bai and said, “You’re so annoying, stop joking!”

“Oof!”

Hearing Su Bai gasp in pain, Yang Xiaomi immediately grew nervous.

“Ah? Su Bai, are you okay? Sorry, sorry, I forgot…”

Su Bai chuckled.

It wasn’t that painful—he was just teasing Yang Xiaomi!

But thinking back to the earlier scene, it was indeed a little…

As they chatted and laughed, Su Bai’s phone suddenly rang.

Yang Xiaomi glanced at it. “It’s a girl named Zhou Yanran.”

Su Bai said, “You answer it for me, just put it on speaker.”

Without hesitation, Yang Xiaomi pressed speakerphone.

“Hey, Superstar Su, you’re so unreliable! You don’t contact me after you got famous!”

“If it weren’t for the stuff I gave you, would you have become this popular so quickly?”

Su Bai glanced at Yang Xiaomi with a helpless look.

“Not really. I’ve been busy lately and haven’t had time to reach out.”

“Come to Modu sometime, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

Su Bai was just being polite. He knew Zhou Yanran had given him those things for her own benefit.

So he didn’t feel indebted.

“Sure, I’m going to Modu tomorrow. There are some things we need to discuss in person!”
