Jiang Siming initially wanted to refuse but noticed the other person kept sending him invitations repeatedly.

This meant that from the time he drank the potion to when he went to the bathroom to take a shower and then spaced out for a while, the other person had been waiting for him. At least an hour had passed.

In SillyGirl's livestream chat...

SillyGirl, who was usually carefree and loved to laugh, no longer had a smile on her face.

She hadn't started the game; she just stared blankly at the game lobby interface. On the right, in the "Recent Games" section, her mouse hovered over the ID "ming," clicking, refreshing, and inviting repeatedly.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

She had been doing this for an hour, doing nothing else but waiting for Jiang Siming.

Even though many viewers in the livestream chat were growing impatient, she still didn't want to give up.

"It's been an hour already, are you going to play or not? If not, I'm unsubscribing!"

"A certain streamer on Shark is just zoning out and still earning millions a month."

"Newcomer here, totally confused. What's up with SillyGirl today? Did someone make her shut down?"

"Looks like SillyGirl has fallen in love, waiting bitterly for her beloved."

"Oh no, the old hag seems to be in love for real. Look, her eyes are red."

"Wow, big news on Shark, the old hag has fallen for a random pro player 'ming'!"

Reading these bullet comments, SillyGirl felt a bit uneasy.

She questioned herself internally, did she really like Jiang Siming?

But she had only played one game with him, how could she possibly like him!

Yet why was she waiting for his response as if possessed?

An hour had passed, and Brother Ming still hadn't accepted her invitation. Did he really dislike her that much...

Feeling utterly confused, SillyGirl felt extremely aggrieved, and her nose tingled as she struggled to control her emotions.

Fortunately, her Bestie came over at this time, apologizing to the viewers:

"Silly is not feeling well today, so the livestream will end here for now. Sorry everyone, we're signing off."

As she spoke, her Bestie turned off the livestream.

This was the most sensible way to handle it; if they continued, SillyGirl would surely lose followers.

Besides, she was so distracted now that she couldn't possibly continue streaming.

After turning off the livestream, SillyGirl couldn't hold back any longer and quietly cried on her desk.

"Silly, don't cry, it's nothing. If he doesn't respond, it's his loss for not cherishing you. There's nothing to be sad about," her Bestie quickly comforted her.

SillyGirl, choking with sobs, confided in her best friend:

"Erqian, it's the first time I've had feelings for a guy, but he seems to dislike me, sob..."

"I know, I know, don't be sad. A failed first love is a good thing; it gives you experience, and you'll meet someone better in the future."

Her Bestie's comfort didn't really help, and SillyGirl still felt down.

Feeling upset, she turned off her computer and went to lie down on her bed.

Little did she know that the moment she turned off her computer, someone entered her game lobby, but SillyGirl didn't see it.

After Jiang Siming accepted the invitation, he found that the other person was offline.

After waiting for a while and seeing that she hadn't logged back in, he left the team and went solo.

After SillyGirl ended her stream, Shark was abuzz with news again.

The news that the famous female streamer SillyGirl had fallen for a random player, invited him to duo queue, was rejected, and waited an hour in vain before ending her stream sadly, became a hot topic on Shark.

Moreover, the male lead in the news was the same "ming" who had stirred up quite a bit of news yesterday.

Two consecutive news stories were related to Jiang Siming, sparking discussions about his identity on Shark's forums.

Some of SillyGirl's die-hard fans even wanted to dig up information on Jiang Siming to vent their anger on behalf of their favorite streamer.

After all, SillyGirl was a popular female streamer on Shark with many fans, and her "romantic" news was something Shark's stream viewers were eager to see.

Besides, SillyGirl wasn't infatuated with some rich guy but rather a random player she had never met.

The video of their game together circulated on the forums, showing no monetary transactions or interest relationships.

This pure relationship made many viewers look at SillyGirl in a new light, contradicting the stereotype that female streamers only cared about money and clung to rich patrons.

SillyGirl's actions clearly proved her innocence and won the hearts of many viewers.

However, Jiang Siming, who didn't pay much attention to livestreams, was unaware of all this.

After playing games until the afternoon, Jiang Siming finally took a break.

He went out to deposit the 100,000 yuan he had earned into the bank, transferring it all to his father's bank card.

"Son, why did I receive a transfer notification on my bank card? A whole 100,000 yuan, did the bank make a mistake?" Jiang's father called to inquire about it.

Standing by the railing, enjoying the breeze by the Huangpu River in Shanghai, Jiang Siming cheerfully replied over the phone, "It's real, Dad. I transferred it to you."

"How did you earn so much money all of a sudden? Son, you didn't do anything illegal, did you?" Jiang's father asked suspiciously.

Jiang Siming couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, don't you know your son? Am I the type to do bad things?"

"Then what's the deal with this money? Explain it to me clearly, or see how I deal with you when you come home!" Jiang's father sternly questioned.

Jiang Siming quickly explained, making up a reason, saying he sold a house today and this was the agency fee.

Only then did Jiang's father let go of his doubts and became happy.

"There's no need to give it all to me; keep some for yourself. I'll transfer some back to you."

"No need, Dad. I still have tens of thousands here, enough to spend. You keep the money and use it wherever it's needed. My sister hasn't bought new clothes in a year; let Mom get her some. She's about to take her high school entrance exams, and her nutrition needs to be kept up. And Mom too, she looked thinner the last time I came back."

"Don't worry, Dad will take care of it. We'll save it for when you need to buy a house and get married in the future."

Even though the family was struggling, Jiang's father was still thinking about his son's future.

"Who needs to get married? Don't worry, Dad. If the girl I marry in the future is materialistic and demands a house and car, I'll dump her in a heartbeat," Jiang Siming joked.

"Hey, don't say that. A girl who follows you deserves a house. Otherwise, how can you give her happiness, silly boy," Jiang's father said wisely.

"Don't worry, Dad. If the money runs out, I'll earn more. Your son has the ability, so just spend it without worry."

"Alright, enough said. Dad knows how to handle it. Let's hang up; the phone bill is expensive."

After reminding Jiang Siming to take care of his health and rest, Jiang's father hung up.

In fact, every time Jiang Siming called home, Jiang's father would hang up first and then call back himself, just to save his son some phone bills.

Jiang Siming decided that the next time he went home, he would buy his parents two smartphones and teach them how to use them, so they wouldn't worry about phone bills anymore.

After hanging up, Jiang Siming looked at the night view of the Huangpu River, determined to work hard and succeed, so his family could live a good life!
