I need Qingmei’s help when I go to the toilet

“I only hurt my arm, I’m not crippled. You don’t have to be like this…”

Yang Yuan leaned against the headboard, a look of utter despair on his face.

His left arm was now in a sling, and Su Xiaoyou had completely confined him to the bed.

She wouldn’t let him get out of bed, nor would she let him move around. Whether it was housework or the three daily meals, Su Xiaoyou handled it all.

“A’Yuan was injured because of me! I’m atoning for my sin!”

Su Xiaoyou held a bowl of freshly peeled apples to his mouth, her attitude exceptionally firm.

Yang Yuan opened his mouth and ate a piece, mumbling indistinctly, “I was injured because of terrorists, why do you need to atone for anything?”

“But…” Su Xiaoyou didn’t know how to refute.

She also understood that she wasn’t the direct cause of Yang Yuan’s injury, but the resulting feelings of powerlessness and guilt made Su Xiaoyou always want to do something, so she would feel a little better.

Yang Yuan saw the inner turmoil in the girl’s heart, so he had her sit by the bed and comforted her softly.

“You can’t just think about what you failed to do, you also have to think more about what you have already accomplished.”

“If you hadn’t sucked away all the nearby smoke back then, we might not have even been able to see the road, let alone evacuate others.”

This comfort made Su Xiaoyou’s heart feel a little better, but she still wouldn’t let Yang Yuan move around.

“I understand the logic…” Su Xiaoyou said in a small voice.

“But I can’t let A’Yuan move around now. At least… let me take care of you for a little while longer, that way I’ll feel much better.”

Su Xiaoyou’s actions moved Yang Yuan, but this excessive protection still made him a little uncomfortable.

Of course, it wasn’t a psychological discomfort, but a physiological one.

He was holding in his pee so badly right now that his bladder was about to reach its limit.

“But… if you keep taking care of me like this, I might really wet the bed…”

“Ah! Sorry, I forgot about having to go to the toilet.”

Seeing Yang Yuan struggling to get out of bed on his own, Su Xiaoyou stood up, a strange blush appearing on her face. The girl’s lecherous nature emerged again.

“I’ll help you!”

“A’Yuan, you’re an injured person now, it’s inconvenient for you to move,” she said with a straight face.

“And I also know that when you guys urinate, you need to hold… that place with your hand. I can take care of that for you.”

Su Xiaoyou’s bold statement shocked Yang Yuan a little. He thought she was just joking.

“But I only injured my left arm, my right hand can still be used…”

“That’s not important!” Su Xiaoyou interrupted him directly, absolutely not wanting to miss such a good opportunity.

“What’s important is that I have to take good care of A’Yuan. This is what I should do!”

In the end, Yang Yuan, who couldn’t win against Su Xiaoyou, was helped along, step by careful step, into the bathroom.

“If you touch me inappropriately again, I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

“Hehe…”

After helping Yang Yuan take care of his needs, it was also time for Su Xiaoyou to go to work.

“Are you sure you don’t need me to take leave to take care of you? Work is so boring anyway.”

“Hurry up and go. If you take another leave, you’ll really have your salary docked.”

Su Xiaoyou bit her lip, still a little worried: “I’ll bring you food when I get back. Don’t you dare cook for yourself, you hear me?”

“I hear you, I hear you.”

Yang Yuan waved his hand perfunctorily, while holding back the laughter in his heart.

“Hmph, I always feel like you’re just humoring me…”

Su Xiaoyou reluctantly walked out the door. It wasn’t until the door closed gently and her footsteps faded away that Yang Yuan let out a long sigh.

“Finally gone. That little one was really watching me like a hawk…”

Yang Yuan slowly got up. The wound on his shoulder still hurt slightly, but it was indeed much better than a few days ago.

He tentatively moved his arm. Although it wasn’t very flexible, it didn’t hinder his movement.

After disguising himself, Yang Yuan put on a mask and muttered to himself in the mirror: “Mmm… this way, an acquaintance probably won’t recognize me.”

In the conference room, the image on the projection screen was frozen on a three-dimensional structural map of various parts of the city.

“The casualty report has been confirmed. A total of 112 people were injured, of which 27 were seriously injured and 5 died.”

Chairwoman Zhou of the Security Committee spoke in a deep voice, her gaze sweeping across the room.

“The cause of the accident has been preliminarily determined. It was planned and executed by the underground group [Fissured Horn].”

They used a new type of ability-attached object, tentatively named [Compressed Explosive], and deployed them in densely populated areas of the city.

On the giant screen behind Chairwoman Zhou, the footage of the explosion’s epicenter quickly zoomed in, clearly showing the range and destructive power of the explosion.

“The goal of [Fissured Horn] is very clear. They want to push [Compressed Explosives] into the mainstream black market.”

“These people are simply lunatics!” Many people muttered curses under their breath.

“Now, we need to formulate the next plan of action,” Chairwoman Zhou’s voice echoed through the conference room again.

“The actions of [Fissured Horn] are extremely audacious. We must strike them hard, completely destroy their lair, and destroy all [Compressed Explosives].”

“At the same time, we must also strengthen urban security, especially patrols and surveillance in densely populated areas, to prevent similar incidents from happening again.”

The meeting lasted for more than two hours. Various tasks were detailed and assigned. It wasn’t until Chairwoman Zhou announced the end of the meeting that the tense atmosphere eased slightly.

People got up one after another to leave, leaving only a few scattered people in the conference room.

Just then, a woman wearing a silver mask pushed open the door and walked into the conference room.

“Chairwoman, could you stay for a moment? I’d like to talk to you.”

Chairwoman Zhou looked up at the sound and was a little surprised to see the familiar silver mask.

“Well, what a rare guest.”

“You haven’t been to my place in a long time.”

The masked woman didn’t respond. She walked straight to the conference table, pulled out the chair to Chairwoman Zhou’s left, and sat down.

Chairwoman Zhou looked at the person sitting in front of her and shook her head helplessly.

“You’re sitting in the wrong place… I’m behind you.”

Only the sound of the air conditioner operating remained in the conference room. The masked woman remained motionless, facing forward.

After a few seconds of silence, she slowly turned around, facing Chairwoman Zhou.

“Ahem…”

“You know, wearing this damn mask makes it hard to tell which way is which.”

“Speak, what is it?” Chairwoman Zhou’s smile faded as she returned to a professional mode.

“Regarding this mall explosion incident, what are your thoughts on the mentioned Su Xiaoyou and Yang Yuan?”

Chairwoman Zhou thought for a moment, checked the files, and then replied: “Su Xiaoyou, her ability is very unique, with huge potential.”

“According to our assessment of her file, Su Xiaoyou’s ability has not yet fully evolved. This kind of undeveloped ability often has great plasticity.”

The masked woman hummed lightly, not interrupting, just listening quietly.

“As for Yang Yuan, he’s just an ordinary person, but he’s quite brave and has a good grasp of the bigger picture.”

“An ordinary person, huh…”

The masked woman fell into a brief silence. The silver mask reflected the light from the ceiling, making it impossible to discern her true expression.

“There should still be a few spots left for the ability user evolution trial, right?” Chairwoman Zhou suddenly asked.

“Mmm, there are still three spots left this year.”

“We can consider sending an invitation to Su Xiaoyou.”

“Of course we will. I’ve already sent someone to deliver it.”

Chairwoman Zhou was a little surprised, but then she remembered the other’s superpower, and a flash of understanding crossed her eyes.

“By the way, speaking of these young ability users,” Chairwoman Zhou changed the subject.

“How is [Saintess] doing recently? Is she still a workaholic, studying her ability-attached objects in the lab every day?”

This question made the masked woman unable to hold back her laughter.

“I forced her to take a vacation.”

“That little girl is working too hard. If she doesn’t rest, her body will definitely collapse. She needs to relax properly recently.”

Chairwoman Zhou also smiled. [Saintess] had always been a popular hero in the industry, and also the one with the most special personality.

“I’m quite curious, what does a cool and aloof girl like [Saintess] do in her private life.”

At this moment, far away in another part of the city, a woman with a cool and transcendent aura stood in front of a magical girl-themed merchandise store.

“Finally… I can finally buy it and take it home…”
