Morning Plea for Help

The soft, sweet female voice from outside the door drifted into the dorm, instantly dispelling the sleepiness in the room.

Zhang Wei's eyes snapped open, his head popping out of the covers with a "whoosh," his eyes wide as saucers.

Li Feng removed the pillow from his face and listened intently.

Wang Hao also woke up, propped himself up, and looked around in a daze.

Lin Mo was also slightly taken aback.

Su Wanqing?

Just as he was about to get out of bed to open the door, he saw Zhang Wei spring up from his bed with lightning speed.

While pulling on a T-shirt, he whispered, "Holy crap! Su Wanqing! The Campus Belle is here! Everyone get up, damn it!"

Li Feng also scrambled to sit up, running a hand through his messy hair.

Wang Hao was still in a fog, "Who? What belle?"

"The Campus Belle! Su Wanqing!" Zhang Wei had already put on his pants and jumped off the bed.

Barefoot, he rushed to the door, took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and then opened it.

Outside the door, Su Wanqing stood tall and graceful.

She was dressed particularly refreshingly today: a white short-sleeved T-shirt, light blue jeans, canvas shoes, her hair tied in a neat ponytail. She wore no makeup, but her skin glowed.

In her hand, she carried a plastic bag containing several exquisite meal boxes and a few cups of soy milk.

"Good morning," Su Wanqing smiled at Zhang Wei, who opened the door, but her gaze went past him, looking towards Lin Mo inside the dorm. "I bought you guys breakfast."

Zhang Wei froze at the doorway, his mouth agape, unable to make a sound.

Li Feng sat on his bed, still in the posture of running his hand through his hair, his expression frozen.

Wang Hao rubbed his eyes, thinking he still had a fever and was hallucinating.

Lin Mo got out of bed and walked to the door. "Why are you here?"

"I missed you," Su Wanqing's voice was sickeningly sweet. She naturally handed the plastic bag over. "The new shrimp xiaolongbao from the first floor of the cafeteria, and soy milk. Eat it while it's hot."

As she spoke, her gaze swept across the dorm, seeing three disheveled, messy-haired, and dazed-looking boys.

She couldn't help but let out a "pfft" and laugh, her smile becoming even sweeter. "Sorry, did I disturb your sleep?"

"No, no, no! You didn't disturb us! Not at all!" Zhang Wei finally found his voice and quickly stepped aside, making way.

His smile was practically overflowing. "Miss... Miss Su, please come in! Please come in!"

Su Wanqing shook her head. "I won't come in. Your dorm... uh, it has a very lived-in atmosphere."

She said tactfully, her gaze quickly flicking over an object that looked suspiciously like a sock.

"Lin Mo, can you come out for a bit? I need to talk to you." She looked at Lin Mo, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Lin Mo nodded and followed her out of the dorm.

The moment the door closed, suppressed gasps erupted in the dorm.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!" Zhang Wei exclaimed three times. "The Campus Belle personally delivering breakfast to our door! This treatment! It's unique in the whole school, right?"

Wang Hao swallowed, murmuring, "Am I still dreaming... I just dreamed about being with Miss Su last night..."

"Heaven is unfair!" Li Feng pounded his chest, his face filled with grief and indignation. "Why! Why isn't the breakfast the Campus Belle brought for me! I'm so angry!"

In the hallway outside the door.

Su Wanqing leaned against the wall, her hands behind her back, watching with great interest as Lin Mo opened the plastic bag and took a bite of a xiaolongbao.

"How does it taste?" she asked, tilting her head, her big eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"It's good," Lin Mo nodded. "Why did you think of buying me breakfast?"

"I missed you, so... I just brought some along the way," Su Wanqing's gaze flickered, and the tips of her ears turned red.

Her voice lowered, and she unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, looking like a shy young girl.

Seeing her so charming and moving, Lin Mo praised her inwardly.

Her acting skills are wasted if she doesn't become an actress.

If I didn't know this woman's true intentions and scheming nature, I would have been fooled by this "little girl in love" act.

"Where are you in the game?" Lin Mo asked while eating.

As soon as the game was mentioned, Su Wanqing's expression changed immediately.

The relaxed and sweet demeanor from before vanished, replaced by a sense of fear and nervousness.

"Lin Mo, I've run into trouble," she lowered her voice and leaned closer. "Last night in the game, around dusk, I arrived at a village called Black Stone Village."

Black Stone Village?

Lin Mo's action of biting the xiaolongbao paused slightly.

"And then?" he asked.

"I was actually quite happy, finally seeing signs of people," Su Wanqing's voice trembled.

"I deliberately made myself dirty, pretending to be a fleeing vagrant, hoping to get into the village for shelter.

At the village entrance, there was an old woman, about fifty or sixty years old, who looked quite kind. She warmly beckoned me over, saying she had a spare room and could let me stay for the night."

"I was tired and hungry then. Seeing she was an elder, and didn't seem like a bad person, I followed her.

She even prepared food for me…"

Su Wanqing bit her lip at this point, a flicker of fear flashing in her eyes.

"After I ate, I soon felt dizzy, and then I didn't know anything else.

When I woke up, I found myself locked in a cellar, my hands and feet bound with hemp rope."

"That old woman…" Her voice trembled, and tears finally fell uncontrollably:
