Picking Up Fragments-Chapter 350: "Goodbye"

This round dropped a total of two fragments, two red fragments—one was [Driver's License], and the other was [Upper-Class Etiquette].

Both skills were still missing one piece each.

However, the good luck ended there. Jiang Siming continued carrying Reba to victory, but he didn't get any more fragments.

They played a few more matches afterward, and in the end, only [Upper-Class Etiquette] was completed.

Jiang Siming heard Reba yawning.

"Are you sleepy?"

"Huh? No, I'm not."

Reba quickly denied it. She was actually very sleepy but wanted to play with Jiang Siming a little longer.

Seeing this, Jiang Siming said, "Go to sleep. I'm logging off too. We'll play next time, be good."

Reba reluctantly agreed. After chatting with Jiang Siming for a bit more, she finally went to sleep.

Jiang Siming wasn't joking either—he ended the night's game livestream and prepared to log off.

"Sing a song! Sing a song!"

"Ming God, it's been a long time since you sang at the end of a stream."

"You sneaky dog, trying to leave again! We won't allow it!"

"Sing a song, Ming God! I just finished my college entrance exam today, and I have to say goodbye to my classmates. It's so sad."

"I also just finished my college entrance exam. I'm at KTV with my friends right now, and I want to sing a farewell song for them, but I can't find a good one… (crying)"

…

Jiang Siming didn't pay much attention to the earlier comments, but the later ones caught his eye.

Oh right, it's almost graduation season.

With the college entrance exams ending today, not only were high school seniors graduating, but middle school seniors would be graduating soon as well, and university seniors were about to face employment.

Every graduation season was the most sentimental time for young people. Not having a suitable song to express their feelings seemed a little too pitiful.

Thinking of this, Jiang Siming said nothing and picked up the guitar next to him, turning on his camera.

The audience immediately got excited—Ming God was finally being "obedient" for once!

"With the college entrance exams over, graduation season is here. I don't have much to give to all the students who are graduating, so here's a song for you—'Goodbye.'"

The audience was surprised. "Goodbye"? Was it G.E.M.'s *Goodbye*?

That song was about love and separation in life and death. It didn't seem to fit the graduation season.

Lying in bed after turning off her computer, Reba suddenly missed that man again. Curious about whether he had ended the stream, she took out her phone and opened the livestream.

And what she saw…

"That jerk! He's singing and didn't call me to listen, hmph!"

Reba muttered, but her body acted honestly—she quickly found her earphones, put them on, adjusted into a comfortable sleeping position, and happily waited for Jiang Siming to sing.

This was the first time she would hear Jiang Siming sing live on his stream. She had only ever listened to him on music platforms before.

In the livestream, Jiang Siming was sitting in his chair, seriously tuning his guitar.

This serious look was rare on him.

But it was truly captivating—seeing a focused Jiang Siming made a girl's heart race even more.

As she watched, Reba suddenly remembered how he had forcefully kissed her outside the hotel, stealing her first kiss.

Her whole body heated up, and she couldn't help but pull the blanket over her head. A moment later, she peeked out again, afraid of missing the start.

After finishing his tuning, Jiang Siming started playing.

Suddenly, an energetic guitar melody rang out, catching everyone off guard.

Wasn't this supposed to be G.E.M.'s *Goodbye*? Why had they never heard this melody before?

And wasn't this supposed to be for graduation season? Why was he playing such an upbeat tune?

But the melody was incredibly catchy. Just one listen, and everyone had already memorized the rhythm.

"I'm afraid I won't have the chance

To say goodbye to you

Because maybe

I will never see you again…"

The lively melody took a sharp turn the moment Jiang Siming started singing, making everyone feel like they were on an emotional rollercoaster.

One second, they were cheerful; the next, they were overwhelmed with sorrow.

Yet, Jiang Siming didn't deliberately lower his voice or force a raspy, emotional tone.

He simply followed the rhythm of the song, but it gave the audience a completely different feeling.

From the very first note—instant heartbreak.

From the very first word—instant sorrow.

They thought it was an upbeat song, but the first line alone made many people feel heavy-hearted.

I'm afraid time will pass too quickly, afraid that life will be too busy, so busy that I won't even have time to say goodbye to you. And maybe this goodbye means never seeing you again...

**"Tomorrow I will leave,

This familiar place and you,

We must part,

And my tears will fall..."**

Upon hearing this, many high school seniors watching the stream started crying.

Just two lines of lyrics were enough to make these students, who were about to part ways with their classmates, break down in tears.

For the first time, they were about to separate from their friends. In two months, they would be heading to different cities, starting new lives, meeting new classmates and friends.

They might see each other again in the future, but those meetings would become fewer and fewer, as their three years together had already been spent...

In fact, college seniors felt it even more deeply. Their graduation meant it was truly difficult to meet again in this lifetime.

University roommates and classmates came from all over the country.

After graduation, there were only two chances to meet again: one was when the other person got married, and the other was when you got married...

Even many adults couldn't help but feel emotional. This song resonated with an even broader audience than *Old Boy*.

*Old Boy* was more suited for those with some life experience, but this song could be understood even by young people who were just starting to understand the world.

**"I will always remember your face,

I will cherish the memories you gave me,

These days will never fade from my heart,

I can't promise you,

Whether I will come back again,

Without looking back,

I will walk forward..."**

The chorus melody remained unchanged, just like the intro. Even Jiang Siming's voice didn't rise much.

Yet, it completely struck everyone's heart. There is an emotion called farewell, a feeling called sorrow.

At this moment, Jiang Siming's song left countless viewers heartbroken.

Sung during graduation season, this song was powerful enough to bring tears to everyone's eyes.

With its minimalist melody and just one short verse, it evoked emotions far more deeply than songs with extravagant lyrics and vocal acrobatics.

After hearing it just once, everyone could already hum along.

This legendary song, *Goodbye* by Zhang Zhenyue, did not exist in this world. Jiang Siming felt that if he didn't bring it out, it would be a waste of such a beautiful piece.

Yue Pengfei was a senior high school student in Xiamen who had just finished his college entrance exams today. He and his classmates had been extremely excited.

Earlier, they had even torn up their textbooks together with thousands of other seniors at school, releasing their stress and celebrating their escape from this "sea of suffering."

That evening, Yue Pengfei had dinner with his entire class. At the table, they were all smiles, laughing loudly and without restraint.

After dinner, some classmates went to karaoke, some went to the internet café to play games, while Yue Pengfei and his closest friends decided to take a walk, chatting as they strolled.

Among them were a few female classmates, including one whom Yue Pengfei had secretly been in love with—Ru Hua.
