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.

Xia Siyu was also frightened, especially since she and Bo Yan were in the middle of doing something bad, and right by the door at that. Although Bo Yan had locked the door from the inside, stopping Qin Baizhou from entering, what if some noise leaked out with only a door between them?

Besides, she wasn’t one to break a promise; she had just agreed to have drinks with Qin Baizhou. It could be something important he wanted to talk about. Yet, here she was, entangled with Bo Yan.

Outside, Qin Baizhou was still puzzled. He clearly heard Xia Siyu’s phone ringing inside, but why wasn’t she responding?

After thinking, he knocked “thump thump thump,” but there was no response from inside.

He frowned slightly and knocked again, this time calling out, “Siyu, are you there?”

Still, no one responded from inside.

Qin Baizhou’s eyebrows furrowed deeper, struck with curiosity. He thought for a moment, then made a call to Wei Jingjing. Through the door, Xia Siyu and Bo Yan could clearly hear his voice asking, “Did Siyu call you to come up just now?”

Wei Jingjing had already returned to her room to get ready for bed when she answered the call, “No, Siyu said she was a bit tired today and told me to go back and rest early.”

“She’s tired?” Qin Baizhou was taken aback for a moment.

In fact, he had been keeping up with Xia Siyu’s schedule all this time. Although celebrities were wealthy, their money was often the result of an overwhelming workload. Just like Bo Yan, who had been at a script reading in Yancheng yesterday and had then gone out of town for a meeting; he was to stay there for two days before flying straight to the Northwest.

Xia Siyu’s schedule was similar, and now they were already planning for the next and the following year.

She was indeed very tired that day. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have skipped going home and just stayed in the hotel.

Perhaps she was so exhausted after washing up that she just fell asleep immediately.

He continued asking, “Did she say she was going to meet someone today?”

Actually, what Qin Baizhou really wanted to know was whether she was going to meet Bo Yan.

Wei Jingjing replied again, “I didn’t hear her mention anyone.”

Qin Baizhou hesitated slightly, uncertain whether to keep knocking to wake her up or to just turn around and leave. But he had made elaborate plans, even booking the entire rooftop revolving restaurant for her.

After thinking it over, he knocked again: “Siyu, are you there?”

Of course Xia Siyu was there, and the dog of a man seemed to be getting alarmingly excited because there was someone at the door. She had to cover her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.

She glared at Bo Yan furiously. Was he insane? Qin Baizhou was right at the door; if she was discovered in such a compromising situation, how could she face anyone in the future?
