Secret Liaison in the Dormitory

Back at the Male Dormitory, the three roommates were out, likely at the internet cafe again.

In the messy room, the quilts on all three beds were unmade, and snack packaging and empty beverage bottles were scattered across the floor; only his bed was relatively neat.

Lin Mo washed his face, lay down on the bed, and turned on his phone.

Discussions about Awakened and the bar massacre were surging on social media, but official controls had clearly tightened, with many posts deleted and trending search terms suppressed.

Scrolling down, he saw a few strange posts:

<Looking for Kindred Spirits--If You Too Experienced Special Dreams at Night>

The content vaguely described keywords like "imprint" and "job change," and left an encrypted chat group invitation code.

<Mutual Aid Society Recruitment--To Us of Special Experiences>

It claimed to be a spontaneous organization of "experiencers," offering intelligence exchange and mutual aid.

Special Talent Recruitment Program

The signature was from the National Security and Development Committee, claiming that "in response to the special talent phenomena appearing in some citizens recently, we are now recruiting talent from society with superior benefits and establishment security."

Lin Mo stared at the last post, his brow slightly furrowed.

Official recruitment? Or... phishing?

With a flick of his fingertip, he decisively closed the post.

He casually opened the Short Video software, his fingertips scrolling aimlessly across the screen.

Funny sketches, food exploration, game streaming... The mundane content slightly relaxed his tense nerves.

An hour later, his phone vibrated.

Su Wanqing sent a message: "I've arrived, I'm downstairs."

Lin Mo got up, tidied his hair and collar in front of the mirror, and only then went downstairs.

At the entrance of the dormitory building, Su Wanqing stood there, drawing the gazes of incoming and outgoing male students.

She had changed her clothes: a white T-shirt, light blue slim-fit jeans, and a light gray hooded sweatshirt layered over top.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and she wore a bare face, looking fresh and girl-next-door.

"You're here?" Lin Mo walked over.

"Yeah." Su Wanqing smiled at him, naturally linking her arm through his. "Let's go up."

The dormitory building manager sat in the duty room reading a newspaper, and glancing up to see a female student enter, merely raised an eyebrow and lowered his head to continue reading.

Visiting each other's dormitories between genders was common in college; as long as it wasn't too excessive, people usually turned a blind eye.

The two went upstairs and entered the dormitory.

Su Wanqing looked around the Male Dormitory, somewhat surprised.

Though the interior could hardly be called tidy, it was already much better than the dirty, messy male dormitory she had imagined.

"None of the three of them are here." Lin Mo closed the door behind him and locked it with a click.

With a soft click, the dormitory was instantly left with just the two of them.

The atmosphere changed subtly.

Su Wanqing walked over to Lin Mo's bed, sat down, and patted the spot beside her. "Sit down."

Lin Mo walked over and sat down beside her.

The two sat very close.

Lin Mo took her hand, his thumb gently stroking the back of her hand.

"Lin Mo," her voice was muffled:

"I'm actually... really scared.

When I was hiding in the cave last night, I could hear the howling of beasts outside, the sound of the wind, and the sound of my own heartbeat.

I kept thinking, if I die, will I die in reality too... What would my mom and dad do then? They only have me as a daughter."

Lin Mo didn't speak, simply reaching out to stroke her hair.

It was very smooth.

"But I could sense you over there," Su Wanqing continued, "and I thought, as long as I walk toward you, I'll eventually reach you. Once I reach your side, I'll be safe."

She raised her head, her eyes red, but a smile on her face:

"So Lin Mo, you have to be well. Be well in the game, and be well in reality too.

I'll find you as soon as possible, and by then... I'll reward you properly."

When she said the word "reward," a hint of allure flashed in her gaze, and her body involuntarily leaned in toward Lin Mo's side.

Lin Mo looked at her and suddenly smiled. "You can start your reward now."

Su Wanqing was stunned, then immediately understood his meaning.

Her face instantly turned crimson, and biting her lower lip, she slowly squatted down, timidly reaching out a hand toward Lin Mo.

But Lin Mo held her hand down.

"Wait." He said.

Su Wanqing looked at him in confusion, her gaze a mix of bashfulness and incomprehension.

"Go draw the curtains tight first." Lin Mo pointed at the window.

Su Wanqing blinked, then smiled. "Okay."

She stood up and walked over to the window.

The curtains were dark blue with excellent blackout properties.

She carefully pulled every gap tight, ensuring not a shred of light could filter through.

As she did this, her silhouette outlined graceful curves in the dim light.

Her slender legs were wrapped in jeans, and the hem of her sweatshirt lifted slightly with her movements, revealing a small stretch of fair waist.

Lin Mo leaned against the bed frame, watching quietly.

He had to admit, Su Wanqing knew very well how to display her own advantages.

Every movement was natural yet unpretentious, while maximizing the pull on his gaze.

With the curtains drawn, the dormitory darkened instantly.

She slowly walked back to the bed, sat gently on the edge, turned to look at Lin Mo beside her, and spoke in a voice as soft as a pool of unfrozen spring water: "All done."

Lin Mo didn't speak, simply reaching out to precisely gather her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace with a slight exertion.

Caught off guard, Su Wanqing let out a soft, delicate gasp, then obediently pressed against his warm chest, her arms naturally wrapping around his spine.
