System: Card drawing in progress

"Wait, what just happened wasn't a dream? I really... went to that magical place."

For a moment Jian Mingluo wondered if he was dreaming within a dream. It was too ridiculous, just like a daydream.

He glanced at his arm, twisted it slightly, and felt the pain.

"It's real, not a dream."

Everything is a dream, he will give up and continue to work to earn money to support his brother to go to school and become a warrior, but that is not a dream, his life has the opportunity to change, it will not be overshadowed, it will not be dull.

Does he want to gamble?

This night was a sleepless night.

In the morning, Jian Minghao climbed out of bed and saw his two brothers with dark circles under their eyes. They were almost like baby treasures.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well last night? Did I snore? But my roommates didn't tell me that I have the habit of snoring!"

Yesterday was a holiday, so he made a special trip to visit his brother.

Jian Mingluo had already prepared breakfast, which was porridge and a plate of pickles. He moved out of the orphanage and rented a house on the rooftop of a building. It had a kitchen, but it was a bit small and it was a bit troublesome to go to the toilet. There was an elevator, but the advantage was that it was cheap enough.

It took him a whole day to find this house at a suitable price.

He has three part-time jobs and doesn't work full-time because in his situation, full-time jobs don't pay well and there are no good jobs around.

As for part-time workers, as long as they work hard enough and arrange their work schedules tightly and reasonably, they can earn more than full-time workers, but they will also be more tired.

"I had a dream last night and didn't sleep much in the second half of the night. I was the reason why you didn't snore."

Rubbing his tired eyes, Jian Mingluo prepared to wash his face with cold water before going to work, otherwise if he was caught, his salary might be deducted.

"Brother..., you don't have to work so hard. I can make money myself. The school provides subsidies to poor students. I applied for it. In addition, I participated in inter-school competitions and won some prize money."

Jian Minghao spoke carefully, for he was afraid that Jian Mingluo would be angry. His brother worked hard to earn money for his studies, and he studied hard to be worthy of his brother's efforts, but he was also afraid of disappointing his brother's expectations.

If possible, he actually doesn't want to be the person who carries heavy expectations. He dares not make a single mistake and wants to be excellent and work hard.

But sometimes, hard work cannot compare to other people’s talent, just like this time, when he participated in a competition, didn’t he easily lose to a talented person?

A hand was placed on his head, and a gentle voice came:

"Xiaohao is really amazing, much better than me. My grades were mediocre when I was in school, and I haven't even seen a live competition! But remember not to delay your studies. I will find a way to get the money."

Jian Minghao had an urge to cry, but he held it back. His brother would think he was bullied and would worry about him. He was already a burden to his brother and could not make him worry anymore.

"It didn't affect my studies. These competitions are also a kind of experience. I can learn a lot from them."

"Ah."

Jian Mingluo smiled, his smile full of relief. His younger brother had been very sensible and hard-working since he was young. He was much better than him and more suitable for studying. This was one of the reasons why he made the decision to support his younger brother's studies.

He was just too sensible, which made him feel distressed. He did not protect him well and did not provide him with enough material foundation and sense of security.

"By the way, brother, this is the money I earned, you take it first, I will earn more money in the future."

Jian Minghao took out an envelope from his pocket. Inside was a thick stack of money. It looked like a lot of money, at least several thousand yuan.

Stuffed it to Jian Mingluo.

Jian Mingluo did not answer:

"Keep this money and buy some school supplies and food. Besides, don't you have to learn martial arts? It's very expensive, so use this money as you see fit."

After he finished speaking, he took out a locked box from under the bed, took the key from his neck, opened the lock, counted out several thousand yuan, and handed it to Jian Minghao:

"Also, take this money and buy what you need. Don't save it. If you don't have enough Qi and blood when learning martial arts, it will hinder your martial arts practice."

Jian Minghao took the money, held it tightly, and opened his mouth, wanting to refuse. He knew that it was useless to refuse, as he had experienced his brother's stubbornness.

This money was his brother's hard-earned money. He felt uneasy every time he took it, but he had no choice but to refuse. All he could do was work harder and live up to his brother's hard work.

The two of them didn't have much time to spend together. Jian Mingluo had to work and Jian Minghao had to study. Every time they got together, it lasted less than a day before they had to separate again.

After exchanging a lot of words with each other, they reluctantly turned around and went their separate ways.

The two have a very good relationship. From childhood to adulthood, they rarely quarrel. Even if they quarrel, they care about each other and will quickly resolve the misunderstanding.

At the beginning, the two of them had a quarrel over who should be supported to study and become a warrior. It was a fierce quarrel, the fiercest quarrel in history, and it was just for the sake of letting the other person go to school.

In the end, it was the elder brother Jian Mingluo who won and convinced his younger brother.

After a day's work, Jian Mingluo was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak. He dragged his exhausted body back home. He didn't even have the heart to eat dinner. He had been hungry before and now he had no appetite at all.

He quickly boiled some water, took a quick shower, and lay down on the bed. In the dark night, he lay with his eyes open, lost in confusion.

The busy daytime leaves him no time to think or overthink, but the peaceful nights make his thoughts surge. Is he really willing to live his life like this?

In fact, he was unwilling, very unwilling.

But the truth is cruel. No matter how unwilling you are, most people spend their lives like this, busy and confused.

Now he has a chance to change, and this chance may involve a crisis, a crisis involving his life. Should he accept it? Should he be selfish?

he does not know.

He covered his eyes with his arms and closed them. Everything in front of him was dark, and his thoughts gradually became clear. He knew that if he didn't agree, he would regret it for the rest of his life, but if he agreed...

The next day, Jian Mingluo took a day off, which was rare. He went to see Jian Minghao and visited his former school. Such a serious matter made him feel helpless and he couldn't make a decision.

He is not smart, he knows it very well and has self-awareness, so he plans to find someone smart, experienced and whom he can trust, talk to him and ask about his choice.

That person was Jian Minghao and his former class teacher Lou Shan.

"Brother, I will agree. You don't have to worry about me. I don't want to drag you down, and I don't want you to regret it in the future."

As smart as he was, he guessed that the person in the story was his brother. Although he didn't know what adventures his brother had, he knew that he didn't want the memory of his brother, who seemed to him to be omnipotent, to fade away like this.

"Your heart has already given you the answer, hasn't it?"

Lou Shan bit a cigarette but chose not to light it. There was a child in front of him and it would be bad to smoke in front of him.
