Xia Siyu remembered that Qin Baizhou had asked her out for drinks earlier that evening.
But footstep sounds were normal in a hotel, right? There were always people coming and going in a hotel; it couldn't be that much of a coincidence.
Just as she was thinking this, her cellphone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.
Xia Siyu was startled, Bo Yan too, even though Xia Siyu didn't answer the call, he could still hear the footsteps outside getting closer. The sounds of the call, alongside the footsteps, matched perfectly with hers.
Moreover, the footsteps stopped outside the door and he heard Qin Baizhou's puzzled voice, "Eh, Siyu? Why aren't you answering the phone?"
Bo Yan's brow furrowed slightly as he looked down at Xia Siyu.
That was a close call, he had arrived just in time, at the exact moment when she was in the midst of things. If he had been a few minutes later, she might have left with Qin Baizhou already.
