Picking Up Fragments

Tuantuan was coming to Shanghai, so Jiang Siming naturally had to pick her up, and Dumb Little Sister also came along.

Now the two girls were as close as real sisters. They streamed games together every day and, without Jiang Siming's guidance, often got slaughtered in the game, screaming pitifully at each other.

Long-time viewers of their streams found their hearing deteriorating from all the screaming.

When Jiang Siming arrived, Dumb Little Sister was already waiting in the parking lot.

"Wow, Brother Ming, this car is perfect! Tuantuan said she brought a lot of luggage and didn't know how to transport it all. My car is too small and probably can't fit everything."

Dumb Little Sister ran up to Jiang Siming's car, not to check out the car itself but to see the person inside.

The sun was blazing today, so Jiang Siming wore sunglasses when he went out. These sunglasses, a gift from the golden fragments, were said to be from the LOTOS brand, known as the Lamborghini of eyewear.

With his sunglasses and this luxury car, Jiang Siming looked incredibly cool, making Dumb Little Sister's eyes sparkle with admiration.

"Tuantuan won't arrive for another two hours. Hop in and wait. Standing upstairs will be tiring," Jiang Siming said.

"Okay~" Dumb Little Sister obediently opened the door and got in.

It was almost the end of May, and summer had come quickly this year. It was already scorching hot even in May.

Fortunately, Jiang Siming no longer had to worry about cooling down. Back when he had no money, his rental apartment had no air conditioning, only a fan.

During summer, the fan was almost useless, and he couldn't sleep because of the heat. He often had to go to the seafood market to ask for a big block of ice to cool down enough for a good night's sleep.

As for air conditioning, he didn't even dare to think about it back then.

Now, things were different. Forget air conditioning—he could even travel abroad to escape the heat if he wanted.

The cool air and comfortable seats in the car made Dumb Little Sister marvel at the stark contrast between luxury cars and regular ones.

Enjoying herself, Dumb Little Sister adjusted the seat back and reclined comfortably, humming in contentment.

Jiang Siming took out a bunch of chilled grapes from the car's fridge and adjusted the windshield to block the sun. The two of them sat in the cool, shaded car, enjoying the air conditioning and chilled grapes.

Jiang Siming wanted to do something mischievous, but recent crackdowns made him think twice. He decided to just relax with the AC and grapes.

"Brother Ming, look! Your song *Old Boy* has already surpassed 1 million downloads on QQ Music! It also has over 800,000 on NetEase Cloud Music. You only uploaded it this morning, and it's been less than three hours! Oh my god," Dumb Little Sister exclaimed, handing her phone to Jiang Siming.

Jiang Siming glanced at it and saw the rankings.

Jiang Siming's songs dominated the top ten on the monthly chart, each with millions of downloads.

If *Lu Zhou Moon*, *Gallop*, and *A Lonely Paris* hadn't been released last month, he could have taken over the entire chart.

In April's new song chart, those three songs also ranked in the top three, showcasing Jiang Siming's incredible dominance.

The momentum of "Old Boy" might very well push it to the top of this month's charts!

In less than three hours, it already has over a million downloads, and the number of comments is astonishing, even surpassing the current number one.

This shows how many listeners were touched by the song, enough to take the time to write a comment.

Usually, works that inspire people to leave comments, whether it's a song or a novel, fall into two extremes:

Either the work is excellent, prompting people to write comments of praise,

or the work is terrible, provoking people to write scathing criticisms.

Clearly, "Old Boy" falls into the former category, as does "Picking Up Fragments"—cough, cough...

Jiang Siming hadn't realized that casually singing a few songs could make them this popular.

No wonder the number of music fan comments in his livestreams has been increasing lately, almost catching up with the gaming fans.

Jiang Siming's livestreams are very entertaining, with hardly any trolls in the chat, but there's often heated arguing.

Interestingly, it's Jiang Siming's own fans arguing among themselves, representing different factions.

The factions can roughly be divided into the "Looks Fans," "Music Fans," "Gaming Fans," and "Voice Actor Fans."

Watching Jiang Siming's livestream feels like witnessing a faction war, leaving viewers both amused and exasperated.

The two stayed in the car until it was nearly time for Tuantuan's train to arrive.

After stepping out and waiting at the station exit for a short while, they spotted Tuantuan and another girl struggling to carry a large pile of luggage toward the exit.

The moment Tuantuan saw Jiang Siming, her beautiful eyes lit up like stars. She threw her luggage aside and ran straight toward him.

With a leap, she landed in Jiang Siming's arms.

Jiang Siming smiled wryly. Why do all his girlfriends like to do this? Tossing their luggage and jumping at him. The last one who mastered this skill was Lin Yoona.

Luckily, his body was strong. Otherwise, an average guy might end up in an embarrassing situation.

"Brother Ming, I missed you so much~" Tuantuan said, hugging Jiang Siming tightly with a pitiful tone.

Unlike Dumb Little Sister, who lived in Shanghai and could meet him whenever she wanted, Tuantuan was far away in Hunan.

She could only talk to Jiang Siming through WeChat or in-game.

Ever since she and Dumb Little Sister offered themselves to him, Tuantuan had been thinking about Jiang Siming all the time. Lately, she didn't even feel like drinking her favorite milk tea anymore.

Jiang Siming gently patted Tuantuan's head and smiled. "It's fine. Now that you're in Shanghai, meeting me will just take a moment. You can even move into my house."

"No way! I'm staying with Dumb Dumb. We'll be streaming together for better results, hehe," Tuantuan rejected what was, to her, an incredibly tempting offer.

"You both can come over! Living together would be even better. Or have you forgotten about that night?" Jiang Siming teased with a mischievous grin.

The two women's faces instantly turned red as they angrily threw their fists at Jiang Siming in mock outrage.

Tuantuan's friend, witnessing this scene, was utterly shocked. She had heard about this before but never believed it.

Now seeing it with her own eyes, she finally understood. Some men are truly different from ordinary ones. He could actually get two women to willingly become his girlfriends. This is just too amazing!
