The afternoon shoot went quite smoothly. Shen Ruyin, despite appearing quite harried, didn't have much time to pick a bone with Qiao Xiaren. He seemed extremely worn out lately and would have preferred to avoid Qiao Xiaren entirely if possible.
The crew cheerfully wrapped up and planned to head home. Qiao Xiaren also packed up his things, meandering leisurely towards the exit of the studio.
Weini's car was parked not far away. He was heading in that direction when he was suddenly blocked by a man. Qiao Xiaren stopped and lifted his gaze to observe the young man who appeared to be just twenty years old.
