Like Love...

020. Like Love.

She suddenly remembered the news from a few days ago about Dumb Sister falling for a passerby. She never expected that the person Dumb Sister had fallen for was actually Little Ming Bro.

Once she realized it, Tuan Tuan's heart tightened, as if someone were coveting and spying on her most precious treasure.

"No way. Even though you liked Little Ming Bro first, he hasn't agreed to be with you. I still have a chance! We'll compete fairly. I won't lose!"

Thinking this, Tuan Tuan regained her confidence and prepared to share the good news with Jiang Siming. However, Jiang Siming was on another call as well.

Jiang Siming really hadn't expected to provoke two female streamers within two days—and both of them were highly popular streamers.

The moment he hung up on Tuan Tuan, he received a call from Dumb Sister.

Dumb Sister revealed her identity and explained why she was calling. During their warm conversation, Jiang Siming couldn't possibly turn her away.

After all, she had booked him for an entire month.

The thought of that month gave Jiang Siming a headache. Surely she didn't really intend to make him accompany her for the whole month, did she?

"Brother Ming, don't worry. Although I booked you for a month, I absolutely won't force you to play with me, and I won't set any time requirements. I'll still pay for the whole month. As long as you can play with me whenever you're free, that's enough."

Dumb Sister was very considerate.

After hearing that, Jiang Siming naturally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then thank you. I had something to deal with when you invited me that day, so I wasn't by my computer. By the time I finished and entered the lobby, you had just gone offline."

Jiang Siming felt he had to explain. After all, he had made her wait for him for an hour.

"Really?"

Dumb Sister was overjoyed. She had thought Jiang Siming had deliberately ignored her, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding and a coincidence.

"Really. Truer than pearls."

"Pfft~"

With the knot in her heart untied, Dumb Sister's mood became fantastic, just like Tuan Tuan's.

Her sweet smile returned to her face.

And along with it came a strange affection and the secret little schemes of a young girl in love.

"Then, Brother Ming, are you free right now? Shall we play together?"

Her work as a gaming companion had been restored, and Jiang Siming's gloomy mood vanished. Since it was still early, he agreed.

Dumb Sister had been away from her seat for nearly half an hour. When she returned from outside to her streaming computer, her best friend Erqian, who had been filling in for her, let out a sigh of relief and immediately stood up to give her the seat.

"How did it go? You look really happy," Erqian teased.

"Wahaha! Brother Ming agreed to duo with me~" Dumb Sister made no attempt to hide her joy.

The viewers in the Live Stream Room could all smell the sour stench of romance.

"Tsk, tsk. She was just gloomy and acting like she was about to die. And now she's been reborn?"

"As expected, women in love have negative IQs."

"Dumb Sister is hopelessly trapped in the swamp of love and can't pull herself out. She can't control her feelings!"

"Dumb Sister, don't celebrate too soon. It looks like Tuan Tuan likes God Ming too. You have a rival."

"The person above is right. Tuan Tuan seems to have fallen for God Ming too. Sigh, when will I ever be as outstanding as he is?"

Dumb Sister had no mind to read the comments now. She immediately put on her headset, logged into the game, and waited in YY.

The way she waited for her lover looked exactly like love.

"You look just like a consort waiting for the emperor's favor," Erqian said with a laugh.

"Get lost!" Dumb Sister cursed playfully, her face flushed.

Before long, Jiang Siming's YY avatar appeared in the channel.

"Brother Ming, you're here~"

"Mm. Invite me, or I can invite you."

"Okay!"

Overjoyed, Dumb Sister pulled Jiang Siming into the game lobby.

She dressed her game character up beautifully with a large collection of game skins.

Jiang Siming's character was merely an ordinary male character wearing a cheap short-sleeved shirt.

As luck would have it, PUBG had just received a major update that day, adding a snow map.

Since neither of them had played it before, Jiang Siming and Dumb Sister decided to give it a try.

After they entered the game, they found themselves on a completely unfamiliar map covered in snow.

As a girl from the south, Dumb Sister let out a romantic squeal when she saw the snowy scenery.

"It looks so pretty! Brother Ming, don't you think?"

It was Jiang Siming's first time seeing the new map as well, and he nodded in agreement. Bluehole's maps really were becoming more and more beautiful.

From the island to the desert, then the rainforest, and now the snowfield, the detail in every map had continued to improve.

This was also thanks to Tencent Daddy's investment. Bluehole had already grown from a small workshop into a major company, and its annual profits of hundreds of billions from games were no joke.

PUBG had now firmly become the leading FPS game. Its global concurrent player count had even surpassed League of Legends at times, and occasionally pulled far ahead.

After nearly three years of operation, it remained incredibly popular. In internet cafés, the number of PUBG players was almost equal to the number of League of Legends players.

The main reason was that, in Jiang Siming's world, cheating in PUBG was dealt with extremely effectively. Combined with promotion and constant content updates, this allowed the game to remain popular and grow stronger over time. Many celebrities loved playing it as well.

"Brother Ming, come look!"

Dumb Sister called out urgently.

Jiang Siming found her beside a utility pole. "What is it?"

Dumb Sister took a snowball from her waist and said, "Do as I do. Switch to first-person view, then throw the snowball at the utility pole!"

Although he had no idea what she was doing, Jiang Siming followed her instructions.

Bang! The snowball struck the utility pole, and the snowflakes that burst forth glittered with tiny specks of starlight under the sunlight.

"There are stars! Brother Ming, did you see them?" Dumb Sister asked with an innocent expression.

Jiang Siming laughed and answered along with her, "Mm, I saw them. They're beautiful."

"Hehe." Dumb Sister giggled foolishly.

For some reason, the viewers in the Live Stream Room all broke into smiles.

It was as though they had witnessed beautiful love beginning to sprout and take root.

The waiting period soon ended, and everyone boarded the plane.

From above the snow-covered city, the entire beautiful scene was laid out before them.

Jiang Siming was intoxicated by the magnificent beauty of the snow map when he unexpectedly noticed a flash of red light near a seaside location on the map.

"We're going here." Jiang Siming immediately placed a marker, and Dumb Sister naturally had no objections.

At this point, let alone going somewhere a little farther away—even if Jiang Siming marked the sea, she would jump without the slightest hesitation.

The two of them left the plane and flew toward their destination.

Unexpectedly, the parachuting mechanics had also been updated. They could no longer hold down Shift, or they would plunge straight downward.

The control of parachuting height and gliding distance was also vastly different, and landing even came with a sideways somersault on the ground.

This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of parachuting and made it more realistic.

But for Jiang Siming, it posed no obstacle at all. Instead, it felt even more natural.

The higher the difficulty, the more time he could gain over everyone else during the landing.

Sure enough, by the time Jiang Siming had already landed, Dumb Sister was still diving toward the ground, without even having opened her parachute.

If Dumb Sister had been an enemy, Jiang Siming could have killed her in the snowy skies of Northern Europe before her parachute even opened.
