Not a minute later Xin Hulei appears in his living room.
His sudden appearance startles Yao Shen who almost drops his phone.
"Who was that?" Yao Shen asks, jumping to his feet and walking towards Xin Hulei, standing still in the middle of his living room.
Xin Hulei smirks, just barely, and extends him an arm. "Let's find out."
Yao Shen lets himself be pulled against his chest, closing his eyes when Xin Hulei's familiar warm scent envelops him. He feels as if it's been an age since he last saw him.
When he next opens his eyes he's no longer in his cramped apartment, but instead in a moderately sized condo.
Xin Hulei's Beijing apartment is bigger than the one in Hengdian, as expected of a primary residence. While it's obvious from the twinkling nightview out of the large panoramic windows that it wasn't cheap, neither is it lavish or ostentatious.
