Watching the crowd funnel into the theater to get their tickets checked, Qin Manman turned and walked toward the staircase where they had gone earlier.
The door to the emergency exit was ajar. Just as Manman approached, she glimpsed Wei Ruo leaning against Muo Huangnian through the gap, her hand curled around his neck while the other held an iPad, speaking softly to him.
