Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Invitation from the Esports Club

After a while.

The younger generation had mostly finished eating and gathered together to start playing around.

Xiao Fei was the eldest among them.

He had no older brothers, but there was a large group of younger siblings and cousins.

After dealing with a barrage of questions from several cousins, Xiao Fei suddenly noticed Xiao Jun, who was closer to him, walking over.

The boy seemed a bit hesitant, his gaze flickering, as if he had something to say.

"What’s wrong, Xiao Jun?"

"Bro..."

Hearing Xiao Fei call out to him, Xiao Jun took a deep breath, walked over, and sneakily looked around. After spotting a few cousins heading their way, he quickly waved his hand, "Shoo, go away! I need to discuss something with my brother!"

"What the heck! So secretive..."

Wu Tongtong rolled her eyes at Xiao Jun before leaving.

At this moment.

Xiao Jun carefully looked at Xiao Fei and said, "Bro, I want to tell you something."

"What is it?"

Xiao Fei, smiling, straightened up slightly.

The natural authority he exuded caused Xiao Jun’s breath to hitch.

He suddenly felt like backing out, but remembering the situation he’d been agonizing over for the past few days, he finally spoke up.

"Bro... I... I received a notification a few days ago."

"What kind of notification?"

"It’s from an esports club. They sent me a trial invitation... I... I want to give it a shot."

Xiao Fei furrowed his eyebrows.

"You’re not joking?"

"I’m not."

Xiao Jun shook his head.

"Bro, I... I didn’t dare tell my dad, but I really want to try."

"You know, my college entrance exam results this year weren’t great. So much so that my dad didn’t even feel like hosting the graduation banquet he’d originally planned for me."

"You’re repeating your studies, right?"

Xiao Fei recalled his father mentioning this before—that Xiao Jun hadn’t done well in his exams and was being made to retake the year by his family.

But looking at him now, he seemed rather unwilling.

"I’ve made peace with it, bro... Academics really aren’t my strength. Even if I repeat, I can’t possibly get into a first-tier university."

"I want to give esports a try."

"Do you have confidence?"

"This path might be even harder than studying your way into a good university."

What Xiao Fei said was true. The level of competition in esports was beyond what outsiders could imagine.

How many dream-filled teenagers rushed into the field each year?

But how many of them actually made it to the top?

Xiao Jun nodded and said, "I’m confident. Bro, you probably don’t know this, but I’m ranked as a Challenger on the Korean server in League of Legends."

Xiao Fei was surprised.

Although being a Korean Challenger didn’t guarantee Xiao Jun’s success in esports, it did prove that he had a genuine talent for the game.

After all, reaching that level wasn’t something that could be achieved through hard work alone—it required a certain degree of natural skill.

"Bro, do you support me?"

Xiao Jun looked at Xiao Fei expectantly.

As the eldest of their generation and the most outstanding among the younger Xiao Family members, Xiao Fei’s status in the eyes of his younger siblings and cousins was higher than he himself realized.

If Xiao Fei didn’t support him, Xiao Jun would abandon the idea entirely.

But if Xiao Fei gave his approval, even if Xiao Jun’s father—who was also Xiao Fei’s uncle—objected, Xiao Jun would still be determined to give it a try.

"Show me the message the club sent you. I need to verify whether the other party is legitimate."

"No problem!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Jun took out his phone and showed Xiao Fei a particular contact in his call history.

After noting down the number, Xiao Fei immediately placed a call.

"Xie Qiang, check a number for me. XXXXXXX... Yes, see which organization this number belongs to."

Before long, Xie Qiang got back to him, confirming that the number belonged to the team manager of an esports club headquartered in Shanghai.

"It seems the other party is genuine. You little rascal, you didn’t even bother verifying whether it was a scam. What if it had been a fraud?"

Xiao Jun scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

He had just turned eighteen and didn’t think things through thoroughly. Being lectured by Xiao Fei now, he didn’t dare retaliate.

What made him even happier, though, was that Xiao Fei’s actions earlier seemed to show that his deeply respected elder brother might actually support him?

"In principle, I don’t object to you giving it a try."

After staring at Xiao Jun for a long moment, Xiao Fei finally spoke.

"Coincidentally, the club is in Shanghai, so I can keep an eye on you nearby. But I have a few conditions."

"Bro, just say it!"

Xiao Jun thumped his chest, looking determined.

"I’ll agree to anything!"

"Don’t be so quick to set up a flag. My conditions won’t be easy to achieve."

Xiao Fei flicked his younger cousin on the forehead. "First, you only have one year. It’s already November, so this year is out of the question."

"But by next year’s Spring Split, I want to see your name—at least as a substitute—on the roster for the main team. It doesn’t have to be as a starter."

"And next year, you must produce tangible results."

Xiao Jun thought for a moment, then confidently nodded.

"Second condition: you need to talk to your dad about this yourself."

"Ah...?"

Xiao Jun was dumbfounded.

"Bro..."

Xiao Jun smiled sheepishly and sidled up, "Can’t you help me..."

"No."

Xiao Fei shot him a sharp look.

"Didn’t you say no matter what, you wanted to give this a shot?"

"If that’s the case, do you not even have the courage to bring it up to your dad?"

"If that’s how it is, you might as well just go back and repeat your studies honestly."

Xiao Fei’s words were meant to provoke him.

He didn’t want his younger siblings hiding behind him all the time, as that wouldn’t help them grow.

As expected, Xiao Jun froze on the spot. He hadn’t anticipated Xiao Fei refusing.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I’ll talk to my dad tonight!"

After Xiao Jun left, Tang Yuxin walked over.

"What was that about?"

"That little rascal..."

Xiao Fei relayed everything Xiao Jun had just told him to Tang Yuxin. After hearing it, she didn’t say much.

She simply sighed, watching Xiao Jun’s retreating figure. "That path is tough..."

"You know that too?"

"Hmph! I used to play games, okay!"

"I just stopped playing later."

"Later...?"

"Mm..."

Tang Yuxin nodded.

"Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I stopped playing games altogether."

So that’s how it was.

Just as Xiao Fei had sacrificed many of his hobbies after starting a family for the sake of his wife and child, Tang Yuxin had also shelved many of her interests after becoming a mother.
