It is just a 4 or 5km trip, so maybe CNY15 would do, 15 to 20min on the way.

If you are familiar with the station and rail system, it would work. If you are first time traveler, it is not recommended. It would be better if you prepare about 30min.
In case you miss the second trip, you can still take the next available one by changing the paper ticket at station ticket counter.
Oh, by the way, you need to collect the paper ticket for second trip in advance in Guangzhou, otherwise, even 30min is not enough.
