After Jiang Baizhou placed everything on the tray, his indifferent eyes glanced briefly at the girl smiling sweetly at him before slowly straightening up. His gaze slightly shifted, focusing on Cen Jin who was not far away helping a group of handsome boys pick out desserts. He furrowed his brows slightly and heard another mid-length-haired girl ask, "Hey there, do you work here?"
"No." Jiang Baizhou withdrew his gaze and coolly smirked, "Just helping out."
"Oh, so do we get to see you often here then?"
"And your WeChat or phone number...?" the short-haired girl across from him asked bashfully with a smile.
"Not convenient." Jiang Baizhou replied expressionlessly, his tone unwavering yet quite serious: "My girlfriend would get angry if she knew, difficult to placate." After speaking, he specially glanced at Cen Jin’s distant silhouette.
Following his gaze, the three girls fully understood, handsome guys indeed belong to others.
Moreover, they often frequented this store and had seen Cen Jin a few times, knowing she was the daughter of the shop’s aunt. No wonder this handsome guy was here to help. They asked if he could be seen here often, he replied maybe. Thinking about it, the three girls enviously and jealously glanced at Cen Jin, who was smiling brightly.
But on second thought, the store’s snacks were delicious, drinks tasted great, the atmosphere was nice, and now there’s a handsome guy to look at for free, overall it wasn’t bad for some eye candy!
Though they couldn’t have the handsome guy.
"Enjoy." Jiang Baizhou nodded indifferently in acknowledgment, then turned and walked directly towards Cen Jin.
Cen Jin had been in the middle of recommending their shop’s signature desserts to those boys, when halfway through she noticed Jiang Baizhou already standing beside her, his face quite unpleasant: "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
"No." Jiang Baizhou glanced at the boys, directly handed the tray in his hand to Cen Jin, "The cashier over there is swamped, you should go, I’ll handle this."
Cen Jin listened, glanced at the cashier, and indeed noticed the uniformed girl was a bit overwhelmed, nodded her head: "Okay, I’ll go help, you take care of here."
"Okay." Watching Cen Jin leave, Jiang Baizhou’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed, his eyes flashed with a sharp look, staring straight at the boys, his tone also became cold and hard: "What do you need?"
The boys were collectively speechless, awkwardly grabbing a small basket, selecting a few random desserts then going to pay.
Jiang Baizhou raised his brows, also quietly turning around to get busy.
Throughout, many girls came asking for his WeChat and phone number. Jiang Baizhou glanced back at Cen Jin, coincidentally meeting her eyes, but he couldn’t detect any signs of unease or ’jealousy’ from her expression. Instead, she gave him a gentle smile, mouthing ’Keep it up’ to him.
Immediately, Jiang Baizhou felt a suffocating frustration inside, extremely displeased, responded to those girls asking for his WeChat with ’Not convenient’ to dismiss them.
Cen Jin at the cashier, her hands busy, yet her peripheral vision couldn’t help but linger towards Jiang Baizhou. Each time glancing over, different girls surrounded him. Though he had his back to her, making it hard to see his expression, she could see those girls smiling brilliantly, causing a slight discomfort in her heart, yet she forced down the surge of ’jealousy’.
