The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, and Ye Lin knew that the little guy had left. He folded the A4 paper and put it in the cabinet, covered his head with the quilt and went to sleep.
Outside the room, a girl in a floral skirt quietly ran back to the room, took an exquisite notebook from her desk, and carried it downstairs.
"dad."
"Ning Ning, are you here to plead for your brother? Dad can't promise you this time. I won't let your brother out until he gives up this idea." Ye Shaohua guessed Ye Qingning's intention right away. idea.
"Dad, why don't you agree?"
"Ning Ning, I can allow your brother to have bad grades, but I won't allow him to drop out of school and play games. This is called not doing his job properly."
"But my brother's grades are very good. He has never been second in the exam and he gets many awards every semester." Ye Qingning sat on the sofa with a puzzled look on his face.
"Because of this, Dad can't let your brother destroy his future. People outside say that academic qualifications are not important, but which of those big companies don't recruit talents based on academic qualifications? Even if you want to start your own company, you don't have certain knowledge and See, you can’t open it either.”
"But my brother just took a leave of absence from school. Doesn't he stop going to school?"
Ye Qingning's words were full of childlike innocence, which made Ye Shaohua's tone soften. He touched Ye Qingning's head and sighed.
"Dad also knows a little bit about it, and he also knows that the career of e-sports players is very short, and it basically ends around the age of 20. At the age of 20, it is when life is about to start a new chapter, and these players can only carry it with them. Retired with all the pain."
"Suspension of study... Then when will you resume school? When you retire?" Seeing that Ye Qingning didn't speak, Ye Shaohua continued to speak.
"He only sees the bright side of others, but does not see the hard work behind others. I admit that he has some talent, but if he is not down-to-earth and takes step by step, but instead dreams of flying into the sky, he will only fall beyond recognition. "
"What I am doing now is all for his own good. He may hate me now, but he will only thank me in the future." After saying that, Ye Shaohua hummed.
This second son was the most like him in character and temperament, and his IQ was far higher than that of his peers, so he was more strict with him. He was obviously the father and son who were most like father and son, but he was more like an enemy than an enemy.
"But the second brother is not doing well at all now..." Ye Qingning murmured with red eyes.
"You always say that the second brother is arrogant, not enterprising, and acts recklessly because of his little cleverness. But you often travel on business, and you didn't see the second brother studying with the lights on in his room late at night."
"You say that the second brother is only interested in three minutes, but he always masters things quickly. Even if he has new interests, he has never given up his previous hobbies. He would rather sacrifice other time and do his best. "
Ye Qingning said, wiping his tears. This look made Ye Shaohua speechless.
"I……"
"The second brother said he would take a break from school, but only for half a year, because he wanted to catch up with others. He said that with his ability, he wanted both academic qualifications and career."
"He didn't tell me this..." Ye Shaohua was stunned.
"That's because you never listened to him from the beginning, and you never asked your mother why she signed the consent form for the second brother."
Ye Shaohua was choked up and couldn't find the words to argue.
Indeed, he was already tired when he came back from a business trip that day. Plus, he was a little angry when he found out about Ye Lin's suspension. When he heard that he was going to suspend school to play games, he was even more angry. But Even if he slapped him, he would have restrained himself.
"Dad, I believe in my second brother, can you also believe in him for once?" Ye Qingning's eyes were red, and she grabbed the corner of Ye Shaohua's clothes, like a pitiful little rabbit, making people want to move the whole world to her. Come.
"How do you expect me to trust him? There are only a few who are in the forefront of this circle? They practice for more than ten hours, how can there be time to study? You are just talking big words, you just open your mouth."
"Ning Ning, I know you are attracted to your second brother, but dad is doing this for his own good. If you also want him to get better and not go astray, you should persuade him to give up these unrealistic ideas as soon as possible." Ye Shaohua retorted without thinking.
Ye Qingning gritted his teeth and turned the notebook to the last page.
"This is some information I searched on the Internet about the e-sports circle, as well as information about my brother's club, and some recent competitions. I have asked my brother. If he joins the club this time, he will most likely be able to participate in the competition in a month's time. ”
"so what?"
"I bet my brother can win this game."
"So what if we win?" Ye Shaohua became somewhat interested.
"Dad, winning proves that my brother is talented. My brother said he would take a break from school for half a year. After half a year, we will see if he can really take care of his studies as he said. If so, can you agree to let him enter this industry? If both are possible, If you can't do it, I will work with you to persuade your brother to quit this circle and study hard. "
Ye Qingning took out a piece of paper from the book and stuffed it all into Ye Shaohua's hands, with firm eyes pleading.
"Besides, if my brother loses, it will just make him see the reality clearly, understand the gap between himself and others, and give up this idea automatically." Ye Qingning tugged on the corner of Ye Shaohua's clothes, begging with eyes full of begging.
After a long time, Ye Shaohua sighed.
"I understand, just do what you say. In half a year, if he doesn't get ahead and his grades can't keep up, as long as one of the two conditions is not met, he has to go back to school obediently and put an end to these insecurities. Practical thoughts.”
Ye Shaohua took out his pen and signed the paper.
Ye Qingning's eyes lit up, "I believe in second brother!"
"You ghost, you have already planned to be the lobbyist for your second brother, right? You have even printed this." Ye Shaohua scratched Ye Qingning's nose with a fond look in his eyes.
Ye Qingning smiled cutely and went upstairs, then stopped again.
Ye Qingning scratched his face and looked at Ye Shaohua embarrassedly.
"What's wrong?"
"I...I want to use the key to open my second brother's room, okay?"
Ye Shaohua sighed, walked over and handed him the key, and rubbed Ye Qingning's head. "Go ahead."
"Yes! Thank you, Dad." Ye Qingning nodded, ran upstairs with a smile.
Ye Shaohua looked at Ye Qingning's brisk back and fell into deep thought. Although he knew that Ye Qingning was not his daughter, he still treated her like his own daughter. On the other hand, when I treat my sons, I have always taught them as a strict father... Could I have really done something wrong?
Ye Qingning didn't know these things at that time, and worked wholeheartedly for Ye Lin to realize his dream.
Her second brother is a genius, but just because he can learn everything quickly, he doesn't pay much attention to anything.
Finally, he found something that could interest Ye Lin. How could he go back to the numb days before?
When he arrived at the door, Ye Qingning knocked on the door first, and then opened the door with the key. Ye Lin was wrapped in bed and sat cross-legged on the bed when he heard the noise, looking wary.
Light came from the crack in the door, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark and messy room. The next second, a little head appeared behind the door.
"elder brother!"
"Don't move!" Ye Qi's tone was a little panicked and his voice was loud, which startled Ye Qingning.
