Lost love again?

027. Heartbreak, Again?

Dumb Sister was stunned by Erqian's words.

If Jiang Siming really looked like that – a beer belly, bald, with a face full of fat…

It was a terrifying thought.

But if she didn't go see him, would she only ever interact with Brother Ming online?

She didn't care anymore, she had to go see him!

As long as he wasn't someone so hideous he couldn't be seen in public, even if he was a bit ugly, Dumb Sister wouldn't mind.

"Yes! I've decided!"

Dumb Sister had made up her mind, and Erqian couldn't persuade her otherwise. Truthfully, she was also curious about what Jiang Siming looked like.

The two girls quickly left the clothing store and hurried towards the computer mall.

They arrived at the 'Jisu' computer mall. Many people were coming and going. The two girls were stumped – how would they know who Jiang Siming was?

"Casually ask him on WeChat," Erqian suggested.

Dumb Sister thought it was a good idea and immediately messaged Jiang Siming to ask about his purchases.

"Almost done buying everything. I followed the equipment list you gave me. Now I just need a webcam and microphone," Jiang Siming replied.

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

"A lot of things, like a water-cooled chassis, quad Titans, 2800TI graphics cards, and so on," Dumb Sister answered.

The two girls immediately began searching the shopping carts of customers in the store for the corresponding equipment.

Finally, at the checkout counter, they spotted a chubby customer pushing a cart that contained the water-cooled chassis, quad Titans, and 2800TI graphics cards they had mentioned. It was identical.

But when they looked at the person, Erqian and Dumb Sister felt their worldview begin to crumble.

This person was covered in fat, weighing at least two hundred pounds, standing at about five-foot-five. His hair was greasy and matted together, as if he hadn't washed it in ages.

He was also holding a large hamburger, eating with his mouth full of grease. He even seemed to have body odor, as nearby customers were covering their noses and keeping their distance.

"This Dumb Sister..." Erqian cautiously turned her head to look at Dumb Sister.

Dumb Sister was on the verge of tears.

She really wasn't superficial.

She had already lowered her expectations to an extreme low, but reality had still managed to sink even lower than her bottom line.

She truly couldn't accept a 'Jiang Siming' like this!

"Wuwuwu, why is this happening, Erqian..."

Dumb Sister cried, burying her head in her best friend's shoulder and sobbing.

She felt her 'first love fantasy' had been utterly shattered at this moment.

No wonder Jiang Siming's WeChat had no selfies. He said he didn't like taking pictures, and Dumb Sister had believed him back then.

Now it seemed he had done it deliberately.

Having 'lost love' again, Dumb Sister cried much harder this time than before.

"It's okay, it's okay. You should be glad. If you hadn't found out early, you would have fallen for him even deeper," Erqian said, patting her shoulder to comfort her.

Erqian also felt speechless. She thought, Dude, it would have been fine if you were just a little chubby or a bit ugly.

Even if you were short, Dumb Sister would have been willing to be with you.

But your appearance is just… too hard to describe. Who could accept this?

Online dating really isn't reliable!

Ding dong.

Dumb Sister's WeChat notification sounded 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 Dumb Sister, being kind-hearted, took her phone back.

"I decided to come see for myself, it's not Brother Ming's fault. At worst, I'll just consider him a good friend from now on..."

Dumb Sister forced a smile on her tear-streaked face.

Anyone would have collapsed in this situation.

Imagine you've been in an online relationship, and the person has always been perfect in your eyes. You've considered the possibility that their appearance might differ from their photos.

But then you see them in person and they're the complete opposite of Lin Zhiling, more like Luo Yufeng. Could you accept that?

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

If it were someone else, they would have permanently blocked and reported him, or worse, someone with a bad temper might have started yelling or even gotten violent.

Opening WeChat, Dumb Sister saw Jiang Siming's message indicating he had finished buying his items and was heading to the checkout to pay.

Dumb Sister cast a despairing glance around the store and found that the 'Jiang Siming' was furiously arguing with the store owner.

The reason was that he accidentally spilled oil from a hamburger onto the graphics card, and he wanted a new one, but the boss naturally refused.

The oil stain would corrode the graphics card, so naturally, they wouldn't agree, and the two sides started arguing.

Dumb Sister grew suspicious. Why would Brother Ming have time to message her while he was arguing with someone?

Erqian also noticed this.

"Send him another message, see if the other person replies."

Upon hearing this, Dumb Sister immediately replied to Jiang Siming's message, saying, "Brother Ming, what did you buy? Take a picture, and I'll help you see if it's all correct."

After sending the message, Dumb Sister stared intently at the 'Jiang Siming' in the store. The person never took out his phone again.

And there was still no reply on WeChat. The two of them could almost confirm it, and despair once again enveloped them.

Ding dong!

Just as they were despairing, Dumb Sister's phone rang again! It was Jiang Siming's reply!

The message contained several photos that Jiang Siming had sent one after another.

But Dumb Sister was absolutely certain that she had been staring intently at the 'Jiang Siming' arguing in the store the whole time. He hadn't taken out his phone at all, let alone taken photos with it!

Moreover, the electronic equipment in the photos was different from the 'Jiang Siming's. There were many other devices, which were not in 'Jiang Siming's' shopping cart at all!

A thought of "narrow escape" appeared in the minds of the two girls.

Could this 'Jiang Siming' just coincidentally resemble some of the items the real Jiang Siming bought?

Soon, that 'Jiang Siming' failed to reach an agreement with the store staff. Angrily, he bought only that graphics card and stormed out.

At the store's checkout counter, a tall and sturdy figure appeared, pushing a shopping cart.

As he queued, he took out the items in the shopping cart and took pictures one by one.

Every time he took a picture, Dumb Sister received the photo on her phone. The shooting angles were also perfectly consistent with the way the tall guy in the store was shooting.

To confirm again, Dumb Sister replied via WeChat.

She pretended to ask Jiang Siming to get a business card from the store, saying it would be convenient to place orders directly by phone in the future.

As soon as she sent this message, the Jiang Siming in the store called a store employee. After a few exchanges, the employee handed him a business card from the front desk.

Jiang Siming even took a picture of the business card with his phone and sent it to Dumb Sister.

The moment she received the WeChat message, Dumb Sister felt like she had returned to heaven from hell. Only she could understand this feeling at that moment.

She thought love had drifted away from her, but she didn't expect it was all just a misunderstanding!

The two girls excitedly hugged each other and jumped up and down, drawing confused glances from passersby.

They didn't know what had made these two girls so happy.

"Don't rush, Daidai. We've only seen his back. We haven't seen his face yet," Erqian preemptively warned her.

The Jiang Siming in the store had his back to them the entire time, so they hadn't been able to see his appearance clearly.

Dumb Sister thought about it and realized that what if this person also looked terrifying and was very old?

But as long as he didn't look like the 'Jiang Siming' from just now, she wouldn't mind!

Dumb Sister lowered her standards again.

The two girls quieted down and found a spot nearby, secretly watching the store entrance.

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