We consider the di-photon signal arises from two bunches of collimated photon jets emitting from a pair of highly boosted scalars. Following the discussion of detecting the photon jets at the collider, we extend the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) by adding a gauge singlet scalar. To explain the di-photon excess which is recently observed at the first 13 TeV run of the LHC, the mixing between the heavy doublet state and the newly added singlet is crucially needed. After the mixing, one can have a heavy Higgs state $Y_2$ at 750 GeV and a very singlet-like scalar $Y_1$ of sub-GeV, which would be highly boosted through the $Y_2$ decay. Both real singlet and complex singlet extension are studied. It turns out that only the complex model can yield the 1-10 fb cross section in the di-photon final state in accompany with the decay length of the order of 1 m for the $Y_1$. This complex model parametrically predicts the width of 750 GeV resonance $\gtrsim 1$ GeV. In addition, the pseudoscalar component of the singlet in this model is naturally stable and hence could be a dark matter candidate.
