Capítulo 11: Chapter 4: With a Sister Like This, Who Can Sleep at Night!_4
This inevitably made Ke Jin feel cheerful.
At least for now, he was the person in this world who cared about "0" more than "1."
A few more hours passed.
At dinner time, Mr. Ke and Mrs. Ke had both gotten off work and returned home, yet the game still hadn't earned a single penny in top-ups.
During the meal, Ke Jin couldn't help but feel amused as he shoveled rice into his mouth at the dining table.
"You kid, not even eating properly, did you pass the interview today?" Ke Jun put down his chopsticks, looking stern, and asked.
Ke Jin shook his head.
"Then what are you laughing about?"
"I... just thought of something happy," Ke Jin vaguely concealed his emotion and took another big mouthful of rice.
Hearing this, Ke Jun paused, then exchanged a glance with Mrs. Ke and sighed almost inaudibly.
"That psychologist a former classmate of yours knows, is he available this weekend?" Ke Jun whispered to Mrs. Ke.
...
Night fell, 11:45 PM.
Ke Yu waited until their parents had gone to sleep before tiptoeing and stealthily pushing open Ke Jin's bedroom door.
She poked her little head inside and looked around, her long black hair hanging in the air.
Inside the dark room, only dim light reflected from the computer screen.
Ke Jin was sitting in front of the computer, constantly refreshing the time, while muttering to himself.
"Bro, how did the game do today? Did anyone spend money?" Ke Yu whispered, asking pleadingly.
Ke Jin, who had been in quite good spirits, was suddenly embarrassed when faced with the inquiry from his own stakeholder.
He couldn't just turn around with a grin and say, 'Sorry for that, not a dime earned! Ehehe!'
After quickly running through all the sorrowful things in his life, Ke Jin finally turned around, his heart heavy as he sighed.
"No... sigh."
"Ah... this..." Seeing her older brother about to shed precious tears, Ke Yu hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, brother, don't lose heart, today is only the first day, and it's not even over yet. Maybe someone will appreciate your work in a bit?"
Seeing Ke Jin holding his forehead with one hand, head down and silent, with his shoulders shivering repeatedly.
Ke Yu didn't know what else to say, so she simply wished him 'good night' and returned to her own bedroom.
Lying on the soft off-white bed and staring at the soft light reflected on the ceiling, Ke Yu remembered the moment of her brother's dejection.
There's a saying that men don't cry easily, only when they're truly heartbroken.
Her brother's reaction clearly showed he was upset.
Somehow, Ke Yu was reminded of the times she had spent with her brother in the past.
As a child, he was always very kind to her.
With the little pocket money he had, he would nearly split it in two to share with her.
When they both got into trouble, it was always her brother who took the blame, getting spanked by "seven wolves" without uttering a sound.
Whenever she was bullied at school and sobbed inconsolably, a single text message would prompt her brother to rush over, skipping his classes, to wait at the school gates after hours to give those bullies a beating.
You could say that her happy, complete childhood, and the fact that she grew up to be happy, owed half to her parents and friends, and the other half solely to Ke Jin.
Such a reliable big brother was now so sad that he was almost crying.
Ke Yu felt a pang in her heart.
After a moment's thought, she opened her WeChat Wallet.
Discounting the 5000 she had reserved to support her brother, she was left with just over 1300, all the savings she had accumulated over 17 years.
Although the Ke family's financial situation wasn't too bad, they were strict in giving their children spending money; she had saved it up little by little.
"Hmph, that stinker has always been good to me. I can't just watch my brother be sad..."
After muttering to herself, Ke Yu no longer hesitated.
She immediately opened the WWgame platform and downloaded "Origin of Species."
Then, clenching her teeth and with resolve,
she topped up 1000 units!
Looking at the successful top-up notification, Ke Yu bit her lip and furrowed her brows, feeling the pain in her wallet.
1000 units...
She would have to save up for at least half a year...
However, the sudden notification of a 1000-unit top-up received by her brother would definitely make him ecstatic, wouldn't it?
There was no helping it, her own brother, who had been single for so many years without even a girlfriend, if she didn't care for him, who else would?
And just at the moment when Ke Yu completed her top-up,
suddenly, a loud roar came from the next room.
"Aaaaaah!! Holy shit!! Holy shit!!! What the hell is this!!! Who the hell is this!!!"
Hearing her brother's excited cries, Ke Yu smiled sweetly.
"Hmph, that stinker, now he's happy, probably so excited he won't be able to sleep all night."
