Chapter 17 - 017: Go up
More than ten minutes later, a black Audi stopped by the roadside of the studio. Jiang Baizhou, wearing a white T-shirt and black casual pants, stepped out of the car with a transparent umbrella. His white sneakers splashed small droplets of water as they landed in the rain.
The rain grew heavier. When Jiang Baizhou entered the studio, he saw Cen Jin leaning on the desk, with a blue cup beside her, typing on her phone with one hand. She seemed to be chatting with someone and did not notice his arrival at all.
Jiang Baizhou placed the umbrella on the steps at the door to dry and quietly approached Cen Jin from behind. He glanced at her phone screen and let out a couple of light coughs. "Cough, cough..."
Cen Jin immediately turned her head upon hearing the sound. Seeing him standing behind her, she widened her eyes in surprise, somewhat incredulously. "When did you get here? I didn’t hear any movement at all."
"For a while now." Jiang Baizhou frowned slightly, replying indifferently, "Aren’t you planning to leave?"
Cen Jin laughed awkwardly, got up from the chair, and playfully raised her eyebrows. "Let’s go, I’m going to get my bag, wait for a bit."
Jiang Baizhou stood there, watching her walk towards her work area. She took her bag from a shelf and returned to him, only turning towards the door when she was just a step or two away from him.
After Cen Jin turned off the lights and closed the door of the studio, she turned around to meet Jiang Baizhou’s indifferent eyes. He stood sideways, holding the umbrella with one hand, but half of his body was exposed to the rain, clearly waiting for her to get under the umbrella.
