Yao Shen panics, just a little.
This is the second time Xin Hulei has found him in the process of blowing him off.
In this case, he guesses it can't be counted as blowing him off, just...not inviting him? Leaving him out?
It won't be good for him either way, since he tacitly agreed he would be closer to Xin Hulei, and stop hiding things from him.
"Oh, right, uh, Gao Wu invited me, I didn't know you were coming too," Yao Shen says, gesturing frantically at Xin Hulei in his doorway, dressed to kill.
Yao Shen feels shabby in comparison, in his shorts and short-sleeved button-down.
It's not a fancy party or anything, and Xin Hulei isn't really dressed up, it's just that anything he puts on looks fancier by virtue of being worn by him.
"I got a last minute invitation," Xin Hulei says, cryptic as ever. "Let's go, I'll give you a ride."
He doesn't wait for Yao Shen's answer before making his way towards the elevators.
