"Hmm, I didn’t hear the whole thing, but it was about eighty to ninety percent." Lu Shishu deliberately stretched the tone, raised an eyebrow, put her hands behind her back, marched up to him, and tilted her head to study him: "But I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I was just passing by. However... you just said you like Cen Jin, is that for real?"
Jiang Baizhou looked into her inquisitive eyes, fully aware of her relationship with Cen Jin, pressed his thin lips tightly, and his expression remained calm: "Yes."
Bai Zhou was also quite surprised to see her here, instinctively glanced around, confirmed the absence of that figure, and somehow, his heart suddenly relaxed.
"Ahem, you heard it all?" Jiang Baizhou raised his hand to cover his lips, and the unnaturalness in his eyes immediately dissipated, asking calmly.

Jiang Baizhou looked into her inquisitive eyes, fully aware of her relationship with Cen Jin, pressed his thin lips tightly, and his expression remained calm: "Yes."
"Wow! You answered so straightforwardly." Lu Shishu widened her eyes at him, full of disbelief and shock.
"It’s not something that can’t see the light of day."
"You’re really candid, but what about Cen Jin? Does she know?"
"Then when do you plan to confess?" Upon hearing this, Lu Shishu’s curiosity was piqued, and she asked with a gossipy smile.
"No plans." Jiang Baizhou coldly threw down these three words and walked directly past her.
"Ah! So you’re planning on an unrequited love?" Lu Shishu immediately chased after him to ask.
Jiang Baizhou paused his steps, turned around to look at her: "So what?"
"Tsk! I never would have thought! Jiang the great talent is actually doing something like unrequited love; if Cen Jin finds out..."
"Don’t tell her." Jiang Baizhou raised his voice to interrupt her.
This actually startled Lu Shishu. They had known each other for several years, and he always gave the impression of being cold and aloof, so seeing him get angry was quite rare.
Lu Shishu pouted: "Why are you being so fierce? I never said I was going to tell Cen Jin, and I’m an outsider so why should I interfere in your business. Hmph, do what you want!" After speaking, Lu Shishu hummed nonchalantly and left directly.
It was only from that moment that she knew Jiang Baizhou’s feelings, so in her eyes, Jiang Baizhou was always someone with deep scheming and fortitude, making it hard for people to see through him. But after all these years, he still hid it so well, which amazed her.
But love is between two people, and as an observer, she didn’t need to be involved. Actually, she didn’t quite understand Cen Jin’s thoughts. She even tested Cen Jin for Jiang Baizhou, but Cen Jin showed no signs of anything. Later, she realized she was in the wrong; Cen Jin was her friend, so why was she helping Jiang Baizhou? Although she admitted that Jiang Baizhou was very suitable for Cen Jin, and they were a good match, as long as neither of them had figured things out, she, as an outsider, had no reason to meddle.
Besides, Cen Jin, although gentle and quiet by nature, was someone whose thoughts were hard to guess. They had known each other for so long, yet she had never mentioned liking anyone. Even when she asked, Cen Jin would cleverly change the subject.
"But I must say, you’re quite a peculiar one. They say psychologists are good at understanding human minds, yet how did you end up stumbling over this little white rabbit, Cen Jin?" After a long pause, Lu Shishu sighed once more.
On hearing this, Jiang Baizhou lifted his eyes to look at her, a faint smile flashed in his eyes: "Maybe it’s fate."
