Chapter 27 – Another heartbreak?

SillyGirl was taken aback by Erqian's words.

If Jiang Siming really looked like that, with a beer belly, bald head, and a face full of flesh...

Just thinking about it was a bit terrifying.

But if she didn't meet him, would she be stuck with Brother Ming online for the rest of her life?

No way, she had to see him!

As long as he wasn't completely unpresentable, even if he was a bit ugly, SillyGirl wouldn't mind.

"I'm going! I've decided!"

SillyGirl made up her mind, and Erqian couldn't persuade her otherwise. In fact, she was also curious about what Jiang Siming looked like.

The two quickly left the clothing store and headed to the computer city.

Upon arriving at 'Speedy' Computer City, they found many people coming and going. The two girls were at a loss about how to identify Jiang Siming.

"Try hinting on WeChat," Erqian suggested.

SillyGirl thought it made sense and immediately asked Jiang Siming about his purchases on WeChat.

"Almost done, I bought everything according to the list you gave me. Now I just need the streaming camera and microphone," Jiang Siming replied.

"What list did you recommend to him?" Erqian immediately asked SillyGirl.

"A lot, like a water-cooled case, four-way Titan, 2800TI graphics card, etc.," SillyGirl answered.

The two immediately started looking through the shopping baskets of customers in the store for the corresponding equipment.

Finally, at the checkout, they spotted a chubby customer with a basket containing the water-cooled case, four-way Titan, and 2800TI graphics card they mentioned, exactly the same.

But looking at this person, Erqian and SillyGirl felt their worldview was collapsing.

This person was full of fat, weighing at least 200 pounds, standing at 1.65 meters, with greasy hair sticking together, seemingly unwashed for a long time.

He was holding a big hamburger, eating it messily with oil dripping everywhere, and even seemed to have body odor, causing nearby customers to cover their noses and stay away.

"This... Silly..." Erqian cautiously turned to look at SillyGirl.

SillyGirl was about to cry.

She really wasn't part of the appearance club.

Her mental expectations had already been lowered to the extreme, but reality still shattered her bottom line...

She really couldn't accept such a 'Jiang Siming'!

"Woo woo woo... Erqian... how could this happen..."

SillyGirl cried, burying her head in her bestie's shoulder.

She felt her 'first love fantasy' was completely shattered at this moment...

No wonder Jiang Siming's WeChat had no selfies; he said he didn't like taking selfies, and SillyGirl believed him at the time.

Now it seemed he was clearly doing it on purpose.

SillyGirl, experiencing another 'heartbreak,' cried even harder than last time.

"It's okay, it's okay, you should be grateful. If you hadn't found out early, you would have fallen deeper," Erqian comforted her, patting her shoulder.

Erqian was also speechless, thinking, "Dude, it's okay to be a bit fat and ugly."

Even if you looked a bit unattractive, Silly would definitely still want to be with you.

But you look too... unspeakable... who can accept that...

Online dating is indeed unreliable!

Ding dong.

SillyGirl's WeChat rang again.

Erqian picked up her phone and saw it was from Jiang Siming. Erqian was about to turn off the phone and ignore him.

But SillyGirl, still kind-hearted, took the phone.

"It's my choice to come and see, it's not Brother Ming's fault. At worst, I'll just treat him as a good friend in the future..."

SillyGirl forced a smile on her tear-streaked face.

Anyone would break down in such a situation.

Imagine if you had an online romance, and the other person was always perfect in your mind. Even though you thought there might be a difference between their appearance and photos.

But when you see them in reality, the difference is like Lin Chi-ling versus Luo Yufeng. Can you accept that?

SillyGirl was already very kind, unwilling to distance herself from Jiang Siming, wanting to treat him as a good friend.

If it were someone else, they might have permanently blocked and reported him, or even lashed out or fought if they had a bad temper.

Opening WeChat, Jiang Siming's message showed he had finished buying everything and was now going to the counter to pay.

SillyGirl looked around the store in despair and saw that the 'Jiang Siming' was arguing with the store owner.

The reason was that he accidentally dripped hamburger grease on the graphics card and wanted to exchange it for a new one, but the owner refused.

Grease can corrode the graphics card, so of course, they wouldn't agree, and the two started arguing.

SillyGirl became suspicious. If Brother Ming was arguing with someone, how could he have time to send her a WeChat message?

Erqian also noticed this.

"Send another message and see if he replies."

SillyGirl immediately replied to Jiang Siming's message, saying, "Brother Ming, what did you buy? Take a picture so I can check if everything's correct."

After sending the message, SillyGirl kept a close eye on the 'Jiang Siming' in the store, who never took out his phone again.

And there was no reply on WeChat, so the two were almost certain, and the feeling of despair loomed over them again.

Ding dong!

Just when they were in despair, SillyGirl's phone rang again! It was another message from Jiang Siming!

The message contained several photos sent by Jiang Siming.

But SillyGirl was absolutely sure she had been watching the 'Jiang Siming' in the store arguing, and he hadn't taken out his phone, let alone taken any photos!

Moreover, the electronic equipment in the photos was different from 'Jiang Siming's,' with many additional devices not in 'Jiang Siming's' shopping cart!

A sense of 'narrow escape' appeared in the hearts of the two girls.

This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".

Could it be that this 'Jiang Siming' just coincidentally bought a few similar items to the real Jiang Siming?

Soon, that 'Jiang Siming' left angrily after failing to negotiate with the store, only buying the graphics card.

And at the store's checkout, a tall and upright figure appeared, pushing a shopping cart.

While waiting in line, he took out the items from the cart and took photos of each.

With each photo taken, SillyGirl's phone received the corresponding image, and the shooting angles matched perfectly with the tall guy in the store.

To confirm again, SillyGirl replied on WeChat.

She pretended to ask Jiang Siming to get a business card from the store, saying it would be convenient for future direct phone orders.

As soon as she sent the message, Jiang Siming in the store called over a staff member, exchanged a few words, and the staff handed him a business card from the front desk.

Jiang Siming even took a photo of the business card and sent it to SillyGirl.

Receiving the WeChat message, SillyGirl felt like she was back from hell to earth, a feeling only she could understand at this moment.

She thought love was leaving her, but it turned out to be just a misunderstanding!

The two girls hugged each other excitedly, jumping up and down, attracting puzzled looks from passersby.

They wondered what could make these two girls so happy.

"Don't rush, Silly, we've only seen his back, we haven't seen his face yet," Erqian warned her in advance.

Jiang Siming in the store had his back to them the whole time, so they hadn't been able to see his face.

SillyGirl realized this too. What if he also looked terrifying or was much older?

But as long as he didn't look like that previous 'Jiang Siming,' she wouldn't mind!

SillyGirl lowered her standards once again.

The two girls quieted down, found the nearest spot, and secretly watched the store entrance.

As soon as Jiang Siming came out, they would be able to see him clearly.
