They finish shooting the scene without any more issues, and are finally done for the day.
When Xin Hulei asks Yao Shen if he wants to catch a ride together back to the hotel, Yao Shen, for once, agrees readily.
He spends the entire drive feeling smug about his ulterior motives and Xin Hulei's total obliviousness to them.
Once they reach the hotel it's time to put his plan into action. He leaves the elevator on his floor and says goodbye to Xin Hulei.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
Xin Hulei just nods at him.
Yao Shen walks out of view of the elevators doors, and whispers, "what remains unseen is deemed to be clean" to himself.
A brief glance down shows him he was successful. The weirdness of looking down at himself and not seeing his own body is disconcerting but Yao Shen doesn't have time to dwell on that. He dashes back into the elevator, slipping back inside in just the dash of time, before the doors close and it continues its ascent.
