Chapter 25: True Sisters Share Both Sins and Sorrows

A top-of-the-line luxury car was parked by the roadside. The average person's first instinct would be to snap a photo for future bragging rights with friends. Brother Wang was no exception.

At this very moment, how should it be described? In short, it was awkward—supremely, overwhelmingly, capital-A Awkward. Brother Wang's little act was about to be exposed.

And as fate would have it, just then, Bai Qingming’s phone vibrated, displaying a new voice message on WeChat. He pulled out his phone to check—it was unmistakably from Brother Wang.

“Looks like he’s realized I’m the one sitting in the car,” Bai Qingming muttered to himself, though he felt no real anxiety. After all, it wasn’t his bluff that was getting called out. Even if Brother Wang had already seen him, it didn’t matter.

Bai Qingming opened the chat and tapped on the voice message, curious to hear its contents.

“Hey, bro, let me show you the new car your big brother just picked up,” came Brother Wang’s voice.

Immediately afterward, a photo was sent.

Bai Qingming stared at it, momentarily stunned. Good heavens, wasn’t this his own car? Judging by the angle, it was clearly taken just seconds ago, when Brother Wang was perched on his bicycle.

Before Bai Qingming could decide how to respond, another voice message arrived.

“So, little brother, what do you think? Pretty flashy, right? I’ll take you for a spin some other day. Oh, and when you’re streaming tonight, show this photo to your viewers—let them see what kind of power your big brother wields. Just say I bought this car for over a million.”

Bai Qingming was speechless.

What Brother Wang didn’t know was that he needn’t wait until evening. Right now, his every word was being broadcast live to the viewers, who were laughing so hard they could barely breathe.

“Brother Wang is the ultimate poser—I officially crown him the King of Show-offs!”

“What do you think would happen if he found out who was sitting in the car?”

“You’re all terrible! At least show Brother Wang some respect—he and the streamer have caught criminals together.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to spare him, it’s just too funny to resist! Hahaha!”

Truth be told, Bai Qingming genuinely didn’t know how to reply to Brother Wang. He’d never realized before how effortlessly Wang could spin a tall tale—he’d already put the freshly snapped photo to use. That, at least, took some talent.

Fortunately, just then, the red light turned green. The clueless young lady floored the accelerator, leaving Brother Wang far behind. Bai Qingming was spared any further worry—not about being seen, but more so to spare Wang the embarrassment.

Soon enough, the clueless young lady delivered Bai Qingming home. To be fair, for all her quirks, she was a skilled driver. While reversing into the parking spot, she even gave the stream viewers an impromptu parking tutorial. It took her eight tries to finally succeed, prompting a flood of ‘666’ in chat.

“Don’t forget the solo tonight,” she reminded him before leaving. With Zhixun’s help, she was feeling bold.

Back at her own home, she barely had time to rest before a call came in.

“Hey, girlie.” The caller was a woman, her tone warm and familiar. It was Aunt Shu, another top streamer on Fishy, famous for her League of Legends streams.

“Aunt Shu, what’s up?” she replied. They were good friends in private, though she had no idea why Shu was calling.

“It’s nothing, really. I just watched your stream and heard you’re planning a League ‘Father-and-Son’ solo with that Bachelor Godfather.”

“Oh, that.” She smiled. “Don’t worry, Aunt Shu, I won’t lose. Zhixun will be helping me out.”

“No wonder you agreed so readily,” Aunt Shu said, understanding at last. “By the way, I have a favor to ask.”

“What is it? Go ahead,” she said carelessly.

“It’s nothing major. I was just wondering, after your solo with the Bachelor Godfather tonight, if you play any more games, could you invite me along? I’d like to get to know him, too,” Aunt Shu admitted her real motive.

Suddenly, she remembered—the platform had mentioned picking one of the top female streamers to pair with Bai Qingming for some manufactured drama.

Aunt Shu, being a League streamer, had content similar to that ‘dog man’s’. All things considered, she was the most likely candidate. Among the female streamers, she herself and Zhixun were already involved in a fan-acknowledged partnership, so it was unlikely she’d be chosen. And yet, through a twist of fate, she’d already met Bai Qingming before anyone else.

From the streaming effect, their partnership wasn’t half bad. The platform would likely end up choosing her after all. Aunt Shu must have been feeling both envious and anxious, hence her eagerness to join in.

Originally, she hadn’t intended to agree. If she did, and Aunt Shu hit it off with Bai Qingming, wouldn’t she lose out? But then she thought of Bai Qingming’s devilish ways and his unique, unpredictable mind, and suddenly changed her mind.

“Don’t worry, Aunt Shu. We’re sisters—leave it to me!”

She smiled as she responded, though she kept one thought to herself: “We’re sisters, after all. If there’s a crime to suffer, let’s suffer it together!”

At this moment, Bai Qingming was preparing for the evening’s solo match. He had no idea he’d already become an internet sensation, the new spiritual leader of the masses, with his videos flooding every platform.

The Song of the Bachelor Dog had brought singletons everywhere to tears! When the murderer’s at the door, stay calm—call Brother Wang next door to pick up your takeout! Mysterious tycoon living in a hundred-million luxury penthouse, driving a top-tier sports car! Streaming live, he drove the playmate girl insane—just mess with a woman for fun! Outdoor justice for gold-diggers!

The headlines were endless; every short video platform was filled with his clips. Once uploaded, they’d break a million views in less than an hour.

Normally, even celebrities joining the platform wouldn’t cause such a stir, yet Bai Qingming had managed it. Netizens were amazed, and discussions were everywhere.

“To be honest, I think The Song of the Bachelor Dog and Isn’t It Just Because You’re Not Good Looking are nothing but throwaway tracks, no skill involved. I can’t fathom why they’re so popular,” someone commented online, immediately drawing a barrage of replies.

“If you’re so talented, why aren’t you famous?”

“Jealous of our spiritual leader, the Bachelor Godfather, are you?”

In mere hours, that person’s entire profile had been dug up. Then, someone made a discovery.

“Guys, isn’t this the same guy who said if the spiritual leader could afford a mansion, he’d eat shit?”

“Finally found him!”

“Let’s make him keep his promise—I’ve got the video saved and ready!”

“I’m his neighbor—hurry up, this bastard’s trying to run!”

All this was unfolding online, while Bai Qingming remained blissfully unaware.

At seven in the evening, the appointed hour for his ‘Father-and-Son’ match with the clueless young lady, Bai Qingming began his stream right on schedule.
