Picking Up Fragments

Chapter 320 Zhao Xiaoxiao Likes Japanese Movies?

A certain movie theater.

"Pepper, when you hear this recording, don't be too sad. Death is also a part of life... As I leave, I will see you in my dreams. It has always been only you."

The movie starts with a scene of a weakened Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr., leaving his final words in a spaceship.

The once high-spirited and confident Iron Man had suddenly become a frail old man, making many Marvel fans in the audience feel heartbroken.

Then came the standard Hollywood-style opening—special effects of the spaceship and the vast universe. With 3D glasses on, it was quite a breathtaking experience.

Sitting next to Jiang Siming was Zhao Xiaoxiao, holding a bucket of popcorn with a large cup of Coke beside her.

As she watched, she occasionally reached out her small hand to feed Jiang Siming some popcorn.

Just as Iron Man finished his final words, he didn't actually die.

Well, of course, protagonists don't die so easily.

A female superhero suddenly appeared in space, lifted the spaceship with both hands, and flew it back to Earth.

"This is even more ridiculous than *Dragon Ball*..." Jiang Siming was speechless.

He felt that even if he reached the Golden Core stage, he wouldn't be as powerful as what was shown in this movie.

Speaking of which, he wondered if reaching the Golden Core stage would allow him to travel through space. It seemed unlikely. Maybe after advancing a few more stages, it would be possible?

If he could really travel across the universe one day, he had heard of a planet made entirely of diamonds—wouldn't he be able to take the whole planet for himself?

Maybe he was thinking too far ahead...

More than two hours passed.

Overall, the movie was quite enjoyable.

There were also many funny moments, like Thor turning into "Gragas the Drunken Barrel," Hulk hating stairs, Ant-Man and Hulk's taco scene, and Captain America's "big ass."

These scenes had the whole theater bursting into laughter.

In the end, the Marvel heroes thrillingly defeated Thanos, and Iron Man's sacrifice brought many audience members to tears.

Strangely, Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't cry, nor did she laugh at the funny parts.

She just kept eating her popcorn and drinking her Coke, watching the movie with no expression throughout.

As they left the theater, Jiang Siming curiously asked, "Was the movie good?"

"It wasn't good," Zhao Xiaoxiao said with a disappointed look.

"But you're the one who wanted to watch it," Jiang Siming replied.

"My classmates kept saying how amazing this movie was, hyping it up like crazy, so I came to check it out," Zhao Xiaoxiao said, holding Jiang Siming's hand.

Jiang Siming was so handsome, like a character straight out of a novel.

Zhao Xiaoxiao was so cute, like a character straight out of an anime.

"Daddy, I'm sleepy~"

As soon as Zhao Xiaoxiao spoke, many male passengers' hearts melted.

Female passengers' hearts shattered—how could such a young and handsome guy already be a dad?

"What should we do? Do you want me to hold you while you sleep?" Jiang Siming asked.

"Mm~" The little girl responded and jumped into Jiang Siming's arms.

Her small body clung tightly to him like glue, impossible to shake off.

She found a comfortable position, rested her head on Jiang Siming's shoulder, and soon fell asleep.

The female passengers in the subway car wished they could turn into Zhao Xiaoxiao and snuggle in Jiang Siming's arms forever.

Some kind-hearted passengers offered Jiang Siming a seat, but he politely declined with a smile.

Jiang Siming just stood there holding Zhao Xiaoxiao, completely still.

When the subway stopped, he wasn't affected by inertia at all.

His feet seemed anchored like they had lead weights, unmoving,

creating the perfect sleeping environment for Zhao Xiaoxiao, who slept soundly.

Only in front of Jiang Siming did Zhao Xiaoxiao feel an unprecedented sense of security.

In the past, when going out with her mother, she always had to stay alert like a bodyguard, watching out for anyone with bad intentions toward her mom.

But now, with Jiang Siming around, the little girl felt completely at ease.

They rode all the way to the subway station near their home, and when Jiang Siming carried Zhao Xiaoxiao off the train, she was still asleep.

After carrying her the whole way, Jiang Siming wasn't tired at all and continued holding her as he walked home.

Under the starry night sky, beneath the dim yellow streetlights,

Jiang Siming cradled Zhao Xiaoxiao, listening to her gentle breathing and soft murmurs in his ear.

Jiang Siming suddenly thought—having a daughter might actually be pretty nice.

At first, being called "Daddy" by Zhao Xiaoxiao felt awkward and embarrassing.

But now, Jiang Siming was already used to it.

In fact, hearing Zhao Xiaoxiao call him "Daddy" now even made him happy.

Could it be that his hidden "Guilty Father" attribute had been activated?
