CHAPTER 394: CHAPTER 394: THE JOY OF READING

Reading is great, reading brings happiness.

Seeing his daughter being so perfunctory, the driver uncle looked disheartened, "I really gave a ride to God Sterling..."

"Yeah, yeah, everything you said is true, really..."

His wife also walked out from the kitchen and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

The girl said, "Mom, Dad said he gave a ride to God Sterling today."

The wife clearly didn’t believe it either, and laughed cheerfully.

The driver uncle took out a T-shirt, "Look, this is the autograph she gave me! It’s all true!"

The girl took the T-shirt and said, "Wow Dad, who did you get to forge this autograph? It really looks like God Sterling’s signature."

The driver uncle, "..."

No matter what he said, both mother and daughter thought he was just trying to make them happy.

The driver uncle was on the verge of tears. He was telling the truth, why wouldn’t anyone believe him?

Feeling frustrated, he went and posted a message on V Blog.

He applied for a V Blog account after he became a fan of Paige Sterling, and usually used it to check her updates, participate in Penson’s activities, but rarely posted anything himself.

So naturally, he didn’t have many followers, just some familiar friends and relatives.

"Today, while driving, I gave a ride to my idol God Sterling, and God Sterling even gave me her autograph. Told my wife and child at home, but they don’t believe me."

An attached picture showed photos of three autographed T-shirts.

Then all the comments from friends and relatives were uniformly: Haha.

Clearly, they didn’t believe him either, thinking he was just bragging.

Is it really that easy to meet God Sterling?

The driver uncle, "..."

At this moment, he felt a kind of loneliness, as if everyone was drunk but he alone was sober.

Unexpectedly though, the next day, just as he woke up, his daughter rushed over screaming, "Dad! You’ve become famous, did you know?!"

The driver uncle, "...?"

The girl showed him her phone, "That V Blog post you made yesterday! Paige Sterling replied to you!"

The driver uncle, befuddled, took out his phone, only to find it flooded with V Blog notifications.

Paige had replied to him late last night, and once she left her mark, fans of Paige Sterling poured in to express their envy and jealousy.

It’s one thing to give a ride to Paige Sterling, but you also got her autograph, and not just one, but three.

An autograph is one thing, but you posted a V Blog, and even managed to get Paige, who normally posts sparingly, to reply to you—did you save the planet in your previous life?

Now, people online started calling him the Lucky Driver.

The driver uncle was extremely excited, "I told you it was Paige Sterling’s autograph, but you didn’t believe me!"

He was finally able to hold his head high, haha!

"Ahhh, I’m going to wear this T-shirt out! I want to tell everyone I have Paige Sterling’s autograph! Haha..."

She was so happy she could fly, putting the T-shirt on and admiring herself in the mirror, loving it to bits.

God Sterling’s handwriting is really beautiful, and not only did she autograph, she also wrote motivational words to encourage her, God Sterling is just so wonderful!

She was in high spirits, and made her parents wear the T-shirts too, and after lunch, the whole family went out for a stroll.

After all, they were wearing T-shirts autographed by God Sterling, surely they would get glances from everyone...

But the moment they stepped onto the street, they were dumbfounded.

Because almost everyone on the street was wearing the same white T-shirt, and even the autographs looked identical to theirs.

The family of three, "..."

Of course, it’s quite easy to distinguish, because the other autographs are printed, but walking on the street, who would really stop to see if the autograph is real?

The girl said, "Dad, if you’d just not posted that V Blog, our T-shirt would still be unique..."

The driver uncle said, "Ours are definitely unique, theirs are just imitations!"

Veridia lives up to its reputation as the world’s largest imitation goods country...

And this T-shirt became the undeniable fashion trend of the month.

Julian Hawthorne, after finishing work one day, saw his employees change out of their uniforms and come out of the office building, only to realize his wife’s face had become a fashion staple.

No matter men’s or women’s, young or old, every outfit felt out of date unless it featured a Paige Sterling image.

Everyone passing by him was carrying his wife’s image...

This feeling was overwhelmingly bittersweet for Julian Hawthorne.

Paige, however, was smiling happily, not feeling infringed at all, and even sneaked one for herself to wear.

Julian Hawthorne, "..."

Feeling a bit upset, he said to Paige, "How about mine?"

Paige asked, "What about yours?"

Julian fixed his gaze on her, "Everyone has matching couple outfits, why don’t I?"

Pointing at Paige’s T-shirt, he said, "That matching one, I want it too."

Paige’s T-shirt was different from the imitations outside; it was designed by herself. Though it featured her face, she added a pair of fluffy adorable bunny ears, and the T-shirt was orange, making it particularly lively.

Paige blinked, "Mr. Hawthorne, are you sure you want it?"

Julian nodded.

Paige immediately pulled out another large-sized one, "Here, it’s yours."

Mr. Hawthorne promptly changed into the T-shirt.

Usually dressed in black, white, and gray, now suddenly wearing a bright orange one—moreover, Julian Hawthorne’s face was no longer icy, making him look several years younger.

Paige squinted, "I’ve really got a good eye."

Julian raised an eyebrow, then heard Paige say, "This shirt is really beautiful."

Julian Hawthorne, "..."

Julian Hawthorne had reached a crazy level with showing off his love, wanting the whole world to know his wife had personally designed a couple’s T-shirt for him. He even took Paige for a company tour and posted a wave of lovey-dovey moments on V Blog.

The result was...

The next day their exclusive matching T-shirts had become a street staple too...

Julian Hawthorne, "..."

...

Now Jared Sullivan lived alone, and Paige Sterling was spending more time at the Sterling Family, often visiting Jared.

One day, when she returned to the Sterling Family, she passed by the garden outside their villa community.

There were many elderly and children playing in the garden, a few elderly men sitting under trees playing Go, and the match seemed intense.

Paige suddenly remembered that during her time at The Star Empire, she had been so bored she designed a high-IQ Go-playing robot to play against every day.

Though she was the one who designed the robot, she never won a single game against it.

Paige was someone with a strong desire to win, even if the opponent was a robot, if she couldn’t beat it, she felt dispirited.

So she played game after game until she finally completely defeated the robot.

By then, she had already reached a high level of proficiency in Go, but unfortunately, at The Star Empire, Go was considered a relic from ancient humans, already extinct in the river of history, so nobody actually knew how to play.

This made it hard for Paige to find opponents.

Now suddenly seeing people playing Go, she got interested, watching with fascination.

Being surrounded by elderly people, she stood out as a young person among them.

One old man smiled and asked her, "Young lady, are you interested in Go too?"

Paige nodded, "I know a little bit."

Everyone believed her when she said she knew just a little bit.

After all, nowadays, those who knew how to play were mostly elderly, having picked it up out of boredom, young people wouldn’t spend time on it.

Soon, the seniors shifted their attention back to the chessboard.
