At this point, Su Chen chuckled softly, tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, "My sister is like a rock blocking my way, but also like a sun shining on me, leading me forward. The moment I understood, I truly felt that my sister deserved to be so outstanding."

"My sister is more patient than me, more meticulous in everything she does, and has always been smarter than me. My intelligence comes from hard work and study, but I don't know when it suddenly became like my Ren and Du meridians were opened, and my grades improved by leaps and bounds."

At this point, Su Chen chuckled, but Su Ran knew that every improvement had a reason.

He spent countless nights studying late into the night; his efforts will eventually pay off.

"But I was also slow to learn other things. I had a bad temper as a tutor, and I was prone to swearing when I worked as a game companion. I didn't want to be mistreated when I went out for part-time jobs. At that time, I felt like I had the temper of a spoiled young master."

"Back then, I despised myself. But after learning about professional players, the more I learned, the more I liked them. I felt the atmosphere of the professional arena and enjoyed standing on the podium, basking in the praise from the fans."

Back then, I played games like crazy, and it gradually became my hobby. But sometimes I felt that my sister didn't like me playing games, but I couldn't give it up, so I would secretly play games.

After Su Chen finished speaking, he downed another glass of wine, and Su Ran also picked up a beer and drank it down in one gulp. "Go if you like it."

"But no path is easy."

Su Chen nodded heavily, "I know, sister. I will persevere. He has been with me throughout my youth."

Su Miao smiled and said, "Just tell me if you need anything from your older sister."

Su Chen shook his head. "Sis, I don't need your help. I want to try my luck in the e-sports world on my own."

Su Chen's eyes were full of youthful passion and unrestrained energy. Looking at Su Chen like this, Su Ran realized at this moment that Su Chen had really grown up.

The two sat facing each other, drinking beer and eating skewers, feeling very comfortable. They chatted casually about past memories, their minds blank, and the siblings thoroughly enjoyed their drinks.

"Have you decided where to try out? Or I can fund the establishment of a club for you, and you just need to focus on playing well in the games."

Su Chen nodded, "Many clubs have offered it, and I plan to try them all and compare them. I'm not famous yet, so I'll come back to work for my sister when I've achieved some success."

Su Ran didn't refuse; she would just let him do as he pleased, knowing she was there for him.

Su Chen almost agreed when he heard that his older sister wanted to set up a club for him, but as a newbie with no teammates and no experience, he wouldn't earn any money in the early stages.

Once he achieves some success, he'll start earning money for his older sister.

The skewers were served, and Su Chen sipped a skewer of meat and a sip of wine, looking quite dashing.

"Sister, where should I fill in my college application? Is there a program that allows freshmen to take a leave of absence?"

Su Chen's tone was sullen. He estimated his grades to be above 670 or 680, which meant he could apply to many universities, but he wasn't sure which university would agree to allow a freshman who hadn't had any major problems to take a leave of absence.

Which schools can I get into with these grades?

"Round it up to any university you like."

"Choose a school you like, and I'll take care of the leave of absence for you. You can go for the trial without worry."

This is actually quite easy to handle; just throw money at it. Many universities need too much funding for their experiments. Although the government provides funding, there are so many students that each student receives very little, which puts pressure on the university president. This matter is quite simple.

Su Chen's eyes reddened. He also had a school he liked, but he had already consulted with them and found that he could only apply for a leave of absence due to health reasons or family issues.

"Thank you, sis."

Su Ran looked at Su Chen and teased, "Big brother is about to shed golden tears."

Su Chen's composure was immediately shattered by his older sister's words. He laughed, picked up the wine bottle, clinked glasses with it, and downed the drink. "Sis, it's so good to have you."

"Su Chen, don't hold back when you encounter problems. I am your biggest support. Do whatever you want to do with confidence. I'm here for you."

Su Ran felt that everything she had now was not worth making Su Chen suffer. She hoped that Su Chen's e-sports career would be fair, not driven by capital.

"But there's one more thing, if you keep playing badly, don't tell people you're my brother."

Su Chen was initially quite touched, but upon hearing the next sentence, he almost spat out the wine in his mouth. "I know, sis."

If he continues to play poorly, then his choice is wrong, and he will give up on this path. But he doesn't believe he will play poorly, and he will be a champion in future competitions!

By the end, Su Chen was so drunk he was slumped on the table. Su Ran gave him a disdainful look and shook her head, saying, "Your alcohol tolerance is really poor."

Su Ran looked at Su Chen and saw that there were only five empty wine bottles next to him, and her gaze towards him became increasingly disgusted.

"Big brother, my foot! Big brother has such a low alcohol tolerance?" Su Ran ruffled Su Chen's hair, her tone full of disdain, "Su Chen, you've failed as a big brother to some extent."

Su Chen seemed to have heard something, and looked up, his face flushed with drunkenness, "Sis, I can still drink! I can still drink! Fill it up!"

Su Chen's commotion was so loud that it attracted the attention of the barbecue enthusiasts around him, who all turned around. Su Ran picked up his jacket with obvious disgust and covered his face with it.

He smiled and replied to the puzzled looks around him, "He's had too much to drink."

But Su Chen was so bored that he started shaking his hands and feet wildly, making it look to others like Su Ran was committing a crime.

Su Ran intervened to stop his movements, pinning down his fidgeting hands and restraining his wobbling feet.

Very good, now Su Ran's actions have made the people around her even more convinced.

Feeling the gazes directed at her, Su Ran gritted her teeth and said, "This is my younger brother, he's drunk."

After she finished speaking, she moved her coat down a little, revealing Su Chen's face, which was flushed red. He took advantage of her inattention and pulled her hand down.

He then stood up, placed one foot on a nearby stool, held the bottle to his lips, looked around, and shouted, "Everyone... um..."

Su Ran, her face dark, pulled Su Chen down, quickly stopping his online jokes. She didn't care whether he was comfortable or not, because she was uncomfortable now.

Su Chen, for some unknown reason, showed a rebellious streak, pulling hard on Su Ran's hand. Fortunately, she didn't start kicking wildly, otherwise she really wanted to knock her unconscious.

Su Chen gradually began to let loose, while Su Ran stood by speechless. Su Chen's actions attracted a lot of attention, and some people even took out their phones to secretly record videos, since this kind of situation was truly rare.

Upon seeing this, Su Ran's face darkened immediately. She took out her phone and called Su Yi to ask him to come pick her up.

She truly regretted letting Su Chen come to Kyoto, and even more so, she regretted bringing him here for drinks.

She hung up the phone, while Su Chen was still making a fool of himself.

Right now.

She genuinely felt that bringing him out for drinks was a mistake.

It was easy to hold Su Chen down, but it was really hot in the middle of summer!
