Jiang Siming, who had intended to refuse, noticed that the other party kept inviting him repeatedly.
That is to say, from the time he took the potion until he went to the bathroom and spent a long time in a daze.
The other party had been waiting for him all along, at least for an hour.
In Daidaimai's live streaming room...
Daidaimai, who was usually carefree and always smiling, had lost her smile.
She didn't start the game but just stared blankly at the game lobby interface, where the [Recent Games] on the right side was open.
The mouse kept clicking on the ID [ming], refreshing and inviting.
She continued this action for an hour, doing nothing else for an hour, just to wait for Jiang Siming.
Even though many viewers in the live stream were getting impatient, she still didn't want to give up.
"It's been an hour, are you going to play or not? If not, I'll unsubscribe!"
"A certain Douyu streamer just stares blankly, earning a million a month."
"Newcomers are confused, what's up with Daidaimai today? Did someone beat her into submission?"
"Looks like Daidaimai has fallen in love, waiting for her lover."
"Uh-oh, the old woman seems to have really fallen in love, look, her eyes are red."
"Wow, major news on Douyu, the old woman has fallen for the random player [ming]!"
Seeing these comments, Daidaimai felt a bit uncomfortable.
She asked herself, could she really have fallen for Jiang Siming?
But she had only played one game with Jiang Siming, how could she possibly like him?
But why was she so obsessed with waiting for his reply?
An hour had passed, and Brother Ming still hadn't accepted her invitation. Could he really dislike her so much...
Daidaimai felt extremely wronged, her nose tingling, and her emotions were about to get out of control.
Fortunately, her best friend ran over and apologized to the audience:
"Today Daidai isn't feeling well, the live stream will end here. Sorry everyone, see you later."
As she spoke, her friend turned off the live stream.
This was the most rational way to handle it. If it continued, Daidaimai would definitely lose followers.
Moreover, she was so distracted that she couldn't continue streaming.
After the live stream was turned off, Daidaimai finally couldn't hold back and sobbed softly on the table.
"Daidai, don't cry, it's nothing. If he doesn't agree, it's because he doesn't know how to cherish it. There's no need to be sad," her friend hurriedly comforted her.
Daidaimai, sobbing, confided in her best friend:
"Erqian, it's the first time I've had feelings for a guy, but he seems to dislike me, wu wu..."
"I know, I know, don't be sad. A failed first love is a good thing, it can help you gain experience, and you'll meet better people in the future."
Her friend's comfort didn't help much, and Daidaimai's mood remained low.
Feeling sad, she turned off her computer and lay down on the bed for a while.
Unbeknownst to her, at the moment she turned off her computer, someone entered her game lobby, but Daidaimai didn't see it.
After Jiang Siming accepted the invitation, he found that the other party was offline.
After waiting for a while and seeing no response, he left the team and went solo.
After Daidaimai ended her live stream, Douyu started a new wave of news.
The well-known female streamer Daidaimai fell in love with a random player, invited him to play together but was refused, and after waiting for an hour in vain, she ended the live stream in sadness. This news quickly became a hot topic on Douyu.
Moreover, the male lead in the news was [ming], who had caused a stir the previous day.
Two consecutive news stories were related to Jiang Siming, and the Douyu Tieba was filled with discussions about Jiang Siming's identity.
Some of Daidaimai's loyal fans even wanted to dox Jiang Siming to avenge their streamer.
After all, she was a popular female streamer on Douyu with many fans, and her romantic news was something the community enjoyed.
Moreover, Daidaimai wasn't infatuated with a rich patron but a random player she had never met.
Videos of the two playing together circulated on Tieba, with no signs of monetary transactions or利益关系.
This pure relationship made many community members look at Daidaimai differently, and many praised her for not being money-driven.
Daidaimai's actions clearly proved her integrity and won her the hearts of many community members.
However, Jiang Siming, who didn't pay much attention to live streams, was unaware of all this.
He played games until the afternoon and then temporarily stopped.
He went out to deposit the 100,000 yuan he had earned into the bank, transferring it to his father's bank account at home.
"Son, why did I receive a transfer notification on my bank card? It's 100,000 yuan. Did the bank make a mistake?"
Jiang's father called to inquire.
Jiang Siming, who was enjoying the breeze by the Huangpu River in Shanghai, laughed and leaned against the railing, saying into the phone: "It's real, I transferred it to you."
"How did you earn so much money all of a sudden? Son, you're not doing anything illegal, are you?" Jiang's father asked suspiciously.
Jiang Siming, caught between laughter and tears, said: "Dad, don't you know your son? Am I the type to do bad things?"
"Then where did this money come from? Explain it to me clearly, or I'll deal with you when you come home!" Jiang's father sternly demanded.
Jiang Siming quickly explained, making up a reason that he had sold a house today and this was the commission.
This finally put Jiang's father at ease, and he became happy.
"You don't need to give it all to me. Keep some for yourself. I'll transfer some back to you."
"No need, Dad. I still have a few ten thousand yuan left, enough for now. Keep the money. Use it where it's needed. My sister hasn't bought new clothes in a year. Ask Mom to get her some. She's almost in high school, and she needs good nutrition. Mom has also lost weight since the last time I came back."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll save the money for when you need to buy a house or get married in the future."
Jiang's father said, even though the family was struggling, he still thought about his son's future.
"Don't worry, Dad. If my future wife is materialistic and demands a house or a car, I'll dump her in a heartbeat," Jiang Siming said half-jokingly.
"No, you can't say that. If a girl follows you, she deserves a house. How will you make her happy otherwise? Silly boy," Jiang's father was very understanding.
"Don't worry, Dad. If we lose money, we can earn it back. Your son has the ability, so spend it with peace of mind."
"Alright, stop talking. I know how to handle it. Hang up, the call is expensive."
After giving Jiang Siming a few more reminders to take care of his health and rest, Jiang's father hung up.
Actually, every time Jiang Siming called home, Jiang's father would hang up first and then call back to save his son some phone charges.
Jiang Siming decided to buy his parents two smartphones this time and teach them how to use them so they wouldn't worry about the cost of calls.
After hanging up, Jiang Siming looked at the night view of the Huangpu River and made up his mind to work hard and achieve success, to make his family live a better life!
