My younger brothers are so fierce!!! I'm clearly the eldest brother!
Chapter 227 Extra: The Person You'll Never Wait For
KING-Huai: Guard, I'm getting ready for my first match since my comeback, the Jianglan City Invitational Tournament, although it's not very prestigious.
Guard: That's great!
Guard: It's amazing that you can compete. You'll definitely be able to reach bigger and bigger stages in the future.
KING-淮: Okay, I will.
KING-Huai: I saved you a front-row ticket, will you come?
Jiang Guanqing wanted to go, but he didn't dare. He was afraid that Jiang Huai would break down again if he found out that Guard was him, so he could only find a reason to refuse.
Guard: I'm sorry, the company arranged a business trip that day, so I can't go.
Jiang Huai was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered himself up.
KING-Huai: It's okay, it's just a small competition. I will participate in many more competitions in the future.
The scene shifts to the day Jiang Huai plays in the competition.
The competition venue was small, with a capacity of only a little over a thousand people. The contestants in this competition were all newcomers with no fan base, and the venue was not even full.
When Jiang Huai and his teammates went on stage, his gaze swept over the seat he had reserved for Guard in the front row.
It's empty; he didn't come.
Even though he knew Guard wouldn't come, he still held onto a sliver of hope that maybe Guard really would.
After taking his seat, Jiang Huai glanced at the seat one last time, put on his gaming headset, and focused all his attention back on the screen.
At the same time, a figure walked in from the venue entrance, wearing a mask and hat.
Jiang Huai clenched his fists. That was his older brother. His older brother had come that day.
Jiang Guanqing crouched down and sat in a corner seat in the back row.
Most of the people watching the match were interested in esports. Many recognized Jiang Huai, the "former" new generation professional esports seed player, and whispered among themselves about Jiang Huai's "gossip".
"He's not as good as you guys say. He definitely cheated in that youth league game, otherwise how could he have won the championship..."
"Exactly! So many game recordings have been released, and he was incredibly bad, constantly feeding kills, and had absolutely no teamwork—how could he win a championship?"
"Thank goodness I wasn't matched with him as a teammate in the game, otherwise I would have been vomiting blood..."
With her lips pressed tightly together beneath the mask, Jiang Guanqing could no longer hold back her laughter as she listened to the increasingly unrestrained mockery around her.
"That's not what you're saying!"
"Xiao Jiang Huai is clearly very strong, he didn't cheat! The club has already issued a statement, it's a psychological issue..."
The men were having a great time chatting when an outsider suddenly interrupted and contradicted their point of view, which displeased them.
"Who the hell are you? We're having a chat, what are you interrupting for? That Jiang Huai was cheating, what else could he be but a lousy player..."
"Who do you think you are to defend him like this? It's so hot, and you're wearing a hat and mask, completely covered up. What, are you ashamed to be seen?"
Jiang Guanqing was being verbally abused by several people, without even a chance to retort.
Jiang Guanqing wanted to say that he was Jiang Huai's older brother, his own younger brother, and that he knew him very well, but he couldn't.
The words spoken by those people were not even slander, so Jiang Guanqing lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Seeing Jiang Guanqing like this, the group laughed and sat down in the empty seats in the front row.
Tears welled up in Jiang Guanqing's eyes. He felt terrible and wronged. As the eldest brother, he couldn't even protect his younger brother.
The competition officially began. Jiang Guanqing raised her hand to wipe away her tears, focused on the screen, and never took her eyes off Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai's teammates were all newcomers, while their opponents were much more experienced and stronger in both reaction speed and teamwork.
Jiang Huai's team was once under pressure from their opponents, and most of the comments in the live stream were doubts and ridicule.
Jiang Guanqing stared at Jiang Huai with bright eyes, taking pictures nonstop with her camera in hand.
Jiang Huai's team lost the first game. In the second game, their opponent made a big mistake, and Jiang Huai's team narrowly won. In the third game, their opponent was very strong, and Jiang Huai's team was under pressure. Just when everyone thought Jiang Huai's team was bound to lose, Jiang Huai made a one-for-three exchange, leading his team to victory at the last moment.
Jiang Huai's skillful maneuver caused a brief moment of silence on the field before it erupted into chaos.
"Xiuer~~~"
Someone shouted that, which made everyone laugh nonstop.
Jiang Guanqing's eyebrows curved into a smile, genuinely happy for Jiang Huai.
In the screening room, Jiang Huai's eyes were fixed on Jiang Guanqing, and he kept praying in his heart that Jiang Guanqing would leave the venue immediately instead of staying.
Contrary to Jiang Huai's wishes, Jiang Guanqing remained in the same place.
After the competition concluded, each team was required to give an interview.
When he saw that he was being interviewed while his older brother was still sitting in his seat, Jiang Huai suddenly knelt down on the ground. It turned out that his older brother had heard everything.
"Jiang Huai, you were once hailed as a promising young professional esports player, but at the peak of your career, you announced a temporary retirement due to psychological reasons... May I ask, what made you choose to make a comeback? Was it because of your passion?"
Jiang Huai shook his head. "Passion is only a small part of it. I chose to make a comeback because of one person."
The reporter's eyes lit up. "Is it because of your older brother? You once posted a Weibo saying that your older brother was a guiding light on your professional esports journey..."
Jiang Huai gritted his teeth and interrupted coldly, "No, I want to thank my fan Guard. If it weren't for his support and encouragement all along, I wouldn't be able to stand back on the competition stage."
The reporter persisted, "What about your older brother...?"
Jiang Huai's face was tense as he recalled the scene he had just witnessed. He blurted out, "I'd rather not have this older brother!"
Jiang Huai's words exploded in his ears. Jiang Guanqing's hand trembled, and the camera slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. The smile hidden under the mask gradually froze.
The reporter pressed for an explanation.
Large tears welled up in Jiang Guanqing's eyes, and with trembling hands, she picked up the camera and hugged it tightly to her chest.
"Excuse me, could you please move aside? Thank you."
Jiang Guanqing crouched down and ran past everyone else into the stadium, shrinking into a deserted corner where she curled up and cried in suppressed sobs.
Xiao Huai doesn't want him anymore, she doesn't want him as her older brother anymore...
Jiang Guanqing didn't know how long he cried. By the time he calmed down, everyone in the venue had already left.
My phone beeped with a message notification in my pocket.
KING-Huai: The game is over. We won, but it was a narrow victory.
KING-淮: Guard, I mentioned you in the post-match interview. Thank you for always encouraging me.
Upon seeing the message from Jiang Huai, Jiang Guanqing's emotions, which he had just suppressed, instantly flared up again.
His younger brother doesn't want him anymore.
Jiang Guanqing slid down the wall and fell to the ground, her cries heartbreaking.
Jiang Guanqing cried for a long time, and replied to Jiang Huai's message through teary eyes.
Guard: Congratulations, I knew you could do it.
"You fucking bastard!" Jiang Ning punched Jiang Huai twice when he saw his older brother crying so sadly.
Jiang Huai didn't fight back even when he was beaten. He's a bastard, he deserves to be hit. His older brother cares about them the most, and he's always talking about his older brother since they were little, but he says he'd rather not have this older brother.
Bai Xin stared intently at Jiang Guanqing's figure; he knew nothing about this matter.
That damned Jiang Huai, how many times has he broken President Jiang's heart?
Let some lightning strike him dead; we don't need these rotten brothers anyway.
Gong Bolin, Shangguan Zhenghuai, and the others stared at Jiang Huai with hostility, their fists clenched, wishing they could punch Jiang Huai like Jiang Ning did. Even Yan Suian puffed up his cheeks in anger.
"Give us your feedback!"
Jiang Yan raised her hand and forcefully wiped away her tears.
Baiyun was taken aback. It was actually being urged. Did it obey when urged?
As Bai Yun let his imagination run wild, screens appeared in front of Jiang Yan and the others.
