Picking Up Fragments in PUBG

Chapter 157: You’re Not Being Honest

The students didn't hold back at all and explained everything that had just happened, including how Jiang Siming had pressed on her chest.

Yin Zhirou felt her cheeks flush, a warm sensation rising in her chest.

Soon, the school's head teachers and the medical staff arrived.

"I'm fine, thanks to Teacher Jiang for saving me," Yin Zhirou explained to everyone.

"Teacher Jiang? Is there a teacher with the last name Jiang at our school?" The principal asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No, there aren't many teachers or students at our school, and I've never heard of a teacher with the last name Jiang," the head of education said firmly.

"Could it be a foreign teacher using a Chinese name? Teacher Yin, was your rescuer a foreigner?" the principal inquired.

Yin Zhirou shook her head and replied, "No, he's a Huaxia person. But he said he's the new piano teacher named Jiang Daming."

"New? We haven't had any new teachers come to our school this year."

Now everyone was a bit confused. What was going on? The principal immediately ordered someone to check the surveillance footage.

After reviewing the footage, they found that Jiang Siming's face was not captured; only his back was visible.

At this point, Yin Zhirou was starting to feel dazed. Who had actually saved her?

Only Zhao Xiaoxiao and Tian Yucheng, two mischievous girls, were hiding nearby, giggling.

Quietly returning to the school gate, Jiang Siming was leisurely whistling, leaning against a big tree while smoking, looking completely nonchalant.

At this time, there was only half an hour left until school ended, and most parents had already arrived.

A familiar young parent walked past Jiang Siming, and he instantly recognized her.

Wasn't this Tian Yu, the diving champion from Huaxia who later transitioned to being an entertainer? He didn't expect her child to be in this school.

After transitioning from athlete to entertainer, Tian Yu had been very successful, especially after appearing on the variety show *Where Are We Going, Dad?*, which boosted her popularity.

Suddenly, Jiang Siming recalled the little girl who had answered his question in class. No wonder she looked so familiar; she was Sen Die.

The little girl had grown up so much and was now in the same class as Zhao Xiaoxiao. What a coincidence!

"Hey, I don't think we've met before," Tian Yu said as she approached Jiang Siming.

Jiang Siming didn't expect her to initiate a conversation, so he politely replied, "I'm here to pick up someone's child."

"Oh, I see. Do you know me?" Tian Yu asked confidently.

Although Jiang Siming wasn't sure what her intentions were, he nodded, "How could I not know the diving champion? I've heard a lot about you."

"Haha, that's just a title."

Tian Yu was pleasantly surprised, but Jiang Siming felt that Sen Die's dad indeed appeared to be a bit unreliable, just like how he had portrayed himself on *Where Are We Going, Dad?*

"Look, I'll be straightforward. I think your looks are fantastic, and you definitely have the potential to be a star. I happen to run an entertainment studio; are you interested?"

So that's what he had been hinting at this whole time—trying to recruit Jiang Siming to debut.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in debuting," Jiang Siming politely declined.

But Tian Yu was still persistent. A person with such extraordinary looks was too valuable to pass up for his company.

With some marketing, even if Jiang Siming couldn't sing, dance, or act, he was confident he could make him famous!

"Hey, do you know Cai Xukun and Wu Yifan?"

"I've heard of them."

"If they can become popular looking like that, you're definitely more attractive than them. You'll absolutely go viral." Tian Yu unwittingly dissed those two popular young stars.

Jiang Siming chuckled, waving his hand as he extinguished his cigarette, saying, "I don't want to be like them, relying on controversy to attract attention and getting criticized by haters. You should find someone else."

"Well, that's fair enough. How about exchanging contact information?" Tian Yu suggested, knowing that it was unlikely to persuade Jiang Siming today but still hopeful for the future.

Jiang Siming didn't oppose it, and they exchanged WeChat just as school was letting out.

The children poured out of the school, with Zhao Xiaoxiao and Tian Yucheng coming out together.

"Daddy!" Zhao Xiaoxiao shouted as soon as she saw Jiang Siming, jumping into his arms for a long-awaited hug. Find more chapters on empire

The little girl exaggeratedly wrapped her long legs around Jiang Siming's waist, displaying their closeness, which made Tian Yucheng envious...

Tian Yu was taken aback; since Sen Die played well with Zhao Xiaoxiao, she recognized Zhao Xuan. However, she only ever saw Zhao Xuan when she came to pick up Zhao Xiaoxiao.

This time, he finally saw Zhao Xiaoxiao's father and was surprised to find that it was this young man in front of him! He looked like he was not even twenty-five, and yet his daughter was already this big?

This guy had just said he was picking up someone's child, clearly trying to cover up his age. He couldn't tell at all; this dude seemed to be living better than he was!

Tian Yu thought to himself, waving to Tian Yucheng, "Sen Die, come here to Dad."

Tian Yu felt a bit envious of Zhao Xiaoxiao's closeness to Jiang Siming. Sen Die used to be very attached to him when she was little, but now that she was older, she had become more reserved. How frustrating.

Tian Yucheng walked up to Tian Yu, but her cute little eyes kept darting over to Jiang Siming.

"Uncle Jiang, I'm Tian Yucheng, Xiaoxiao's classmate," she unexpectedly greeted Jiang Siming.

The little girl might have been impressed after seeing Jiang Siming play the piano and rescue Teacher Yin in the classroom earlier. Young girls had a strong sense of admiration.

Plus, with Jiang Siming being so handsome, Tian Yucheng, who was already in the second year of middle school, understood what it meant to be a good-looking guy—Uncle Jiang definitely fit that description!

"Hello, Yucheng, you're really pretty. You'll definitely be a great beauty in the future," Jiang Siming complimented.

Not only was Tian Yu pleased, but Tian Yucheng was also beaming with joy; being praised by Uncle Jiang was more effective than anyone else's compliments.

After a brief goodbye to Tian Yu, Jiang Siming took Zhao Xiaoxiao toward where he had parked his car.

Along the way, Jiang Siming tried to set the little girl down, but Zhao Xiaoxiao refused to let go, tightly wrapping her arms around his neck and hooking her legs around his waist.

She clung to him like a little sloth.

"Zhao Xiaoxiao, how old are you to still be letting someone carry you? Hurry up and get down," Jiang Siming said, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"I don't want to! I just want you to hold me! You complimented Yucheng for being pretty and didn't say anything about me!" Zhao Xiaoxiao pouted, clearly jealous.

"You're pretty too; you're much prettier than her, alright?" Jiang Siming replied helplessly. Kids these days were really hard to deal with.

"That's better! But I'm still not getting down. Daddy, hold me, my legs are sore!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao clung onto Jiang Siming, even shifting around, pressing her budding curves against his chest.

Jiang Siming thought to himself that this was bad; his brotherhood was on the verge of "rebelling." This definitely wasn't good!

He quickly walked to his car and opened the door, shoving the little girl into the passenger seat.

Zhao Xiaoxiao noticed Jiang Siming's awkwardness and covered her mouth, giggling. With a bright smile, she said, "Daddy, you're not being honest~"

Jiang Siming was exasperated and said, "Can you not call me Daddy? I'm not that old!"

It wasn't just about age; every time this girl called him Daddy, Jiang Siming felt a strong sense of guilt.
