Yu Xi tossed it into the trash, turned to walk away, then hesitated. What if someone saw it? What if Jian Ci asked? The risk was too high.
He retrieved it and shoved it deep into his pocket. The lab incinerator would be safer.
Yu Xi slipped downstairs, avoiding the lounge, and entered the lab. It was empty. He walked toward the incinerator, heart thudding.
Just as he reached it, Jian Wei's voice rang out. "Hey."
Yu Xi froze, muscles stiff.
Jian Wei eyed his back suspiciously. "Why are you sneaking around?"
Yu Xi quickly palmed the bracelet deeper into his pocket. "Nothing. I was just… looking for you," as he turned around.
Jian Wei nearly dropped his tablet when Yu Xi turned to face him. "What the hell happened to you?" he yelled, eyes wide.
Yu Xi blinked, startled. "Huh?"
