Infinite: Dawn Game

"...I'll go open the door."

Shi Yuan quickly made a decision, "Take a look at her current state."

"Oh oh oh."

Sun Qin was so anxious that her back was sweating. She ran to the bedside to check on He Lingling and gently nudged her arm.

"Wake up... wake up... wake up, He Lingling..."

Boom boom boom!

The "person" outside the door continued to knock incessantly.

"Coming," Shi Yuan called out softly, slowly walking towards the door.

Behind her on the bed, He Lingling took a deep breath, her huge black pupils dilating and shrinking in a short time before slowly returning to calm.

"...What's wrong with me?"

He Lingling's mind was still replaying the image of the girl in the white dress she had seen, and her heart was pounding.

"You were just possessed by a nightmare."

Sun Qin patted her back sympathetically and whispered:

"Shi Yuan said it's related to your innate skills... Good heavens, how can someone with innate skills be targeted?"

"..."

"Sigh, it seems having talent isn't all good. I've even become a prime target..."

Sun Qin muttered as she pulled out a tissue to wipe He Lingling's sweat: "Look at you, what did you see? You're all sweaty from being scared..."

"……Thanks."

He Lingling blinked slowly. She didn't respond to Sun Qin's question, but turned her head to look at Shi Yuan, who had already walked behind the door.

The room assigned to them was really small; even though Shi Yuan tried to slow down, she still had to walk to the door.

Shi Yuan turned around and glanced at He Lingling, who was covered in sweat, and nodded slightly.

thump—

He Lingling's heart, which had just calmed down a bit, started pounding again.

At this hour... what kind of "person" could possibly come in through the door?

That NPC surnamed Yao probably won't come... so it's quite obvious who the "person" who will come is.

Shi Yuan, who had already gripped the doorknob, breathed slightly heavier and squeezed harder—click.

The door lock was unscrewed.

The "person" outside the door, who had been looking down, slowly raised her head, revealing a sweet and pretty face.

"what?"

The sweet and pretty girl widened her eyes, took a few steps back, looked left and right, and then exclaimed.

"who are you?"

The sweet and pretty girl was a little confused, "This is clearly my room..."

"..." Shi Yuan silently looked the girl in the white dress in front of him up and down, and after confirming that the other party had a shadow, he breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

"I'm your new roommate."

Shi Yuan said, "There are two other people as well."

"?"

The sweet-looking girl was momentarily confused. "What did you say?"

"We were also recruited by Mr. Yao to work as waiters."

A hoarse female voice came from behind Shi Yuan. Shi Yuan froze, pursed her lips, and moved aside.

With a pale face, He Lingling smiled at the sweet and pretty girl:

"I've seen you."

He Lingling smiled and said, "You played the piano beautifully."

Yes, the sweet and pretty girl with rosy cheeks in front of you is the same girl in the white dress who twisted her neck 180 degrees on the exhibition stage.

The girl in the white dress seemed a little embarrassed by the compliment, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she exclaimed "Oh dear!"

"Actually, it's not that great. I had studied piano a little before, and after I came to work on the ship, Mr. Yao said that they were looking for a pianist on the second floor, so he brought me up with him."

"Hello."

After exchanging some polite words, the girl in the white dress smiled and introduced herself:

"My name is Wu Huimin, Wu as in mouth and sky, Huimin as in wisdom and keenness. What about you?"

He Lingling smiled and extended her hand, "He Lingling, a rather common name."

Seeing He Lingling extend her hand, the girl named Wu Huimin quickly grasped it, saying, "What a lovely name! The character 'Lingling' is quite elegant too."

Actually, Sun Qin, who was terrified, peeked out from behind He Lingling and whispered:

"My name is Sun Qin."

After saying that, he gave an awkward laugh, then pulled his head back and remained silent.

Shi Yuan, who was initially reluctant to participate, was speechless.

She hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "My name is Shi Yuan."

Wu Huimin released He Lingling's hand and smiled as she extended her hand to Shi Yuan:

"Hello, Shi Yuan."

"..." Shi Yuan stared at her outstretched hand, paused for a few seconds on her fingers wrapped in white tape, and then reached out to shake her hand.

"Hello."

Wu Huimin's hands were very hot, even scalding, just like any energetic and healthy young girl, with a slight dampness in her palms.

"Sigh, playing the piano is so tiring."

After greeting them, Wu Huimin sighed and walked past the two women into her room, muttering about some of the guests she had encountered while playing the piano.

"These customers are rich, but they all seem to have something wrong with their brains. I told them I didn't know that piece, but they still insisted I play it. And then when I played it wrong, they yelled at me... It's really hard to earn money..."

"...Can I take a shower first?"

Wu Huimin, who had been muttering to herself the whole way, opened the wardrobe door, took out a clean white dress, and smiled apologetically at them.

"Because I just worked up a sweat," Wu Huimin scratched the back of her hand, "can I take a shower first?"

"can."

He Lingling nodded gently, "You go ahead and shower. We just got back and want to rest a bit before taking a shower."

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Wu Huimin was very happy. She took the clean white dress, walked to He Lingling's side, hugged her, and went into the washroom in high spirits.

He Lingling felt herself being hugged by a thin body radiating warmth, and her breath caught in her throat for a moment.

Soon, the sound of running water filled the washroom, along with Wu Huimin's soft humming.

"..."

"She has warmth in her body."

Shi Yuan stopped beside her at some point and whispered, "Something's not right."

"..." He Lingling lowered her eyes and patted the still eerie warmth on her hands. "...Then tonight, you'll probably have to sleep with your eyes open."

Shi Yuan: "..."

She remembered that she had drawn a short-term lottery.

Sun Qin, standing behind her, coughed awkwardly. "Um, we could actually take turns sleeping, right? As long as one person watches her, wouldn't that be fine?"

"Need not."

Unexpectedly, Shi Yuan refused.

Shi Yuan rubbed his still-warm fingertips. "I'll have insomnia tonight. You should all get some rest. Don't worry about me."

"..."

He Lingling looked up at her and pulled Sun Qin back from trying to comfort her.

"it is good."

He Lingling said gently:

"Then I'll leave it to you tonight."

Shi Yuan simply nodded and walked to the bed that belonged to her and Wu Huimin to begin tidying up.

These two double beds aren't actually that big; they wouldn't be big enough for two big men, but they were a group of girls who weren't very tall, so there wasn't a question of whether there would be enough room for them from the start.

As Shi Yuan bent down to make the bed, he suddenly felt that he touched something.
