Bo Yanqi's phone suddenly rang in the emergency stairwell, startling both of them as they clung to each other.
Qi Si instinctively tightened his arms around Bo Yanqi, squeezing the breath nearly out of him.
"Relax, it's my phone." Bo Yanqi patted Qi Si's back.
Qi Si let out a breath and awkwardly released Bo Yanqi. "I didn't mean to. Your ringtone is just terrible."
"Mm, my fault." Bo Yanqi glanced at Qi Si, seeing through him without exposing him.
Qi Si: ... Keep looking and I'll gouge your eyes out!
Bo Yanqi understood the threat in Qi Si's eyes and chuckled before lowering his head to answer the call.
"Hello? Where are you?" Bai Hanzhou's voice came through. "Li An and I are done with the examination. Are you at Jiang Zhijie's? Should we come straight over?"
"Yeah, meet us outside Jiang Zhijie's room."
After hanging up, Bo Yanqi looked at Qi Si. "Bai Hanzhou and Li An are finished. They're heading to Jiang Zhijie's room to find us. Shall we go over now?"
"Yeah, let's go." Qi Si took a breath.
Bo Yanqi held out his hand to Qi Si.
Qi Si froze for a moment, then curled his lips into a smile and placed his hand in Bo Yanqi's palm.
"Let's go."
Their fingers intertwined, never to part.
When Qi Si and Bo Yanqi arrived outside Jiang Zhijie's room, Bai Hanzhou and Li An happened to arrive as well.
When they saw the two walking over from the other direction with their hands clasped, surprise appeared on both Bai Hanzhou's and Li An's faces.
"Didn't you two come upstairs ages ago? How are you slower than us?" Bai Hanzhou asked.
Qi Si explained, "Something came up and delayed us. Are Li An's test results out already?
