Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

"Me?" Yu Zhuo stood in front of Li Su, who looked blankly at him, unsure if it was real or not.

Yu Zhuo asked slowly, "Doctor, don't you remember me? We just met a few tens of minutes ago. You said I was very famous."

Upon hearing this, Li Su stared at Yu Zhuo for a moment, then paused, before saying, "...Sorry, I've been too busy lately, I can't quite remember. Who are you?"

Yu Zhuo's smile faded.

He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Li Su's wrist, and under the other's slightly surprised gaze, used the system to perform a full scan of his body.

The patient is in good physical condition with normal muscle tissue. Only the brain nerves are severely damaged, suggesting possible foreign data intrusion.

"It's alright, it's fine if the doctor doesn't remember me. We've only met a few times." Yu Zhuo withdrew his hand and said, "I wish you a speedy recovery. I'll be going now."

Yu Zhuo walked out of the ward, closed the door behind him, and glanced at Li Su's face before leaving. Li Su lay on the bed, frowning, rubbing his temples and looking thoughtfully at the bedding.

He not only couldn't remember Yu Zhuo, he couldn't even remember how the surgery was performed.

It seems the system that invaded his brain was of a very high level and had occupied his body for a long time.

Yu Zhuo walked downstairs, opened his phone, and quickly found the black heart app he had previously set up.

This is the energy device he uses to communicate with the outside world, and also a necessary software for detecting the surrounding situation. Yu Zhuo hasn't set it up for long, and he can't use it flexibly yet; it also has many limitations.

The conversation with Pei Du last time was a case in point. Yu Zhuo's conversations with people from the outside world could only last for a minute or two.

Yu Zhuo once again infiltrated the black heart software with energy. He originally wanted to check if there were any abnormalities or damages inside, but he was surprised by the abundant energy inside as soon as he entered.

This software has been upgraded, all restrictions have been removed, and the system has been modified to even clean up viruses and junk files.

……how so?

Yu Zhuo unconsciously frowned; he couldn't quite figure out the system's idea for modifying the software.

Was it trying to help Yu Zhuo... or did it secretly tamper with things inside?

Yu Zhuo turned off his phone; he needed to find time to conduct a second comprehensive test on it.

After the incident, the driver took the two back to their original residence.

Yu Zhuo noticed that the guards at the entrance had changed, and they looked somewhat unfamiliar. Zhou Yanshu didn't seem to mind; he went inside, changed his clothes, and prepared to get some rest.

"I'll shower first, then you can shower. Keep an eye on things outside and don't let them in." Zhou Yanshu glanced back before entering the bathroom.

In the past, other servants would help Zhou Yanshu with his washing and grooming, but now that Zhou Yanshu's legs have begun to recover, he dismissed the others.

Yu Zhuo was lying on the table, fiddling with his phone. Hearing this, he turned his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep watch outside. But don't you need my help? I know some massage techniques too."

Zhou Yanshu's gaze flashed over Yu Zhuo's hand.

"No need." He lowered his eyes, pushed his wheelchair inside, and then slammed the bathroom door shut.

Soon, the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom. Yu Zhuo sat on the chair and looked at the dark shadow on the door for a while, then continued to look down at the black heart on his phone.

No problems have been found yet. Everything that Yu Zhuo stored inside is still there, and the energy has actually become much richer...

Yu Zhuo frowned, then opened the system software, closed his eyes, and infused it with his energy. The original energy awakened, carrying a familiar aura to Yu Zhuo, and quickly merged towards the center.

There was no rejection reaction, and the whole process went smoothly.

Yu Zhuo relaxed his nerves, and after about ten minutes, a thud was suddenly heard from the bathroom.

The sound was muffled, knocking over some things in the bathroom, which then crashed and fell to the floor.

Yu Zhuo immediately opened his eyes.

"Earl?" Yu Zhuo tossed aside his phone and strode to the bathroom door, peering through the glass to ask, "Earl, what's wrong?"

The glass was completely fogged up, with water droplets accumulating at the edges. Yu Zhuo couldn't hear the reply from inside and pushed open the bathroom door, walking straight in.

“Count, you…” The hot steam that rushed in from inside smothered Yu Zhuo’s face. He walked in and immediately saw the person who had fallen on the edge of the bathtub.

"Zhou Yanshu!"

The bathroom was a mess. The wheelchair was overturned against the wall, and toiletries on the counter were scattered all over the floor. The floor was covered in water stains. Zhou Yanshu was naked and leaning against the edge of the bathtub. His blond hair was wet, and water droplets dripped down his neck and chest.

With his head bowed, he heard Yu Zhuo's voice and gripped the edge of the bathtub with one hand, so hard that the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

"Don't come any closer..." Zhou Yanshu's lips turned pale. He stepped back and grabbed a nearby towel to cover his lower body. "Don't come any closer!"

His voice carried a strong warning, and his eyes were red from the stimulation.

Yu Zhuo caught a faint, cool scent in the air. He stopped two or three meters away from Zhou Yanshu and asked, "Are you in heat? I can help you, you..."

Yu Zhuo took another step forward, and Zhou Yanshu seemed to sense it, suddenly slapping the warm water on the edge of the bathtub with his arm. Water splashed everywhere, and a whimper, whether from pain or suppressed sobs, escaped his throat.

"Okay, okay... I won't come over, I won't come over, don't cry." Yu Zhuo withdrew his foot, looked at Zhou Yanshu through a layer of floating mist, and unconsciously softened his tone.

The latter had his head bowed, his wet blond hair hanging down to obscure his face, revealing only a sliver of his reddened nose.

Omegas are extremely emotionally unstable during their heat cycle, and their psychological defenses are fragile and easily crumble. Yu Zhuo had seen Zhou Yanshu in heat before, but he had never reacted as intensely as he had this time.

"Get out...get me the inhibitor...get out..."

Yu Zhuo looked down at the ground. Zhou Yanshu had covered his legs with a bath towel, but the towel was still not long enough. The silvery fish tail was pressed against the floor tiles, its scales layered down, shimmering slightly under the light.

The sudden onset of her heat cycle caused Zhou Yanshu to revert to her mermaid form.

As if sensing Yu Zhuo's gaze, Zhou Yanshu's fishtail trembled, and she gripped the bath towel in her hand even tighter: "Get out—"

"I'll go out, I'll go out, I'll get you the inhibitor." Yu Zhuo seemed to compromise. He retreated to the corner, but came back after only two or three seconds.

"I brought the inhibitor." Yu Zhuo tiptoed closer to Zhou Yanshu, showing him a syringe in his hand as if to prove it. "See?"

Zhou Yanshu's pupils darted around, his expression shifting between light and dark, as he clung tightly to the edge of the bathtub, motionless.
