Zhao Yuan waited for about seven or eight minutes before he saw Qiu Haogu running over, panting for breath.
He charged straight into Zhao Yuan's dorm room. After confirming he was the first to arrive, his anxious heart finally settled. He put his hands on his hips, gasping for air, and said, "Got any water? Give me a drink. Goodness, I haven't run like this in years. I nearly passed out."
Before Zhao Yuan could say a word, Liu Zhu, Wu Yan, and Wang Rongfeng sprang into action.
"Water! Quick, get Elder Qiu a cup of water."
"I'll go get it."
"Elder Qiu, would you like some tea? I have some high-quality Zhuyeqing here. Should I brew a cup for you?"
The trio's enthusiasm startled Qiu Haogu. Once he calmed down, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No need for tea, plain water is fine. Just don't make it too hot."
Wang Rongfeng grabbed a paper cup, filled it with warm water from the dorm's water dispenser, and carefully handed it over to Qiu Haogu.
