Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

Chapter 1120 Give it a try

Good heavens...

Upon hearing these "profound" remarks, Bai Yinhua felt as if he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
These young girls are all "crossing the river by touching the diva," and they've gotten addicted to it, haven't they?!

Even you, Xiaohui, a kid who hasn't even passed the qualifying rounds yet, are following suit?!

A distant allusion flashed through his mind: "In the past, Duke Huan of Qi loved to wear purple, and the whole kingdom did not sell any other colors."

He witnessed the power of idols, and felt a strange contrast.

Many of the women he knew in the past were so afraid that the various policies wouldn't favor them enough, and they would go to great lengths to get even the slightest bit of preferential treatment!

The outrageous remarks were so absurd that they made you want to cover your ears.

But now things have gotten out of hand! Qu Hui is only eight and a half years old, and she's already starting to actively demand that she not receive any preferential treatment?!
Isn't this world changing a little too fast?!
He felt that his worldview had been slightly refreshed, but despite his feelings, he couldn't ignore practical considerations.

As a teacher and a former professional 7-dan, Bai Yinhua is well aware of the cruelty and importance of the ranking tournament.

For professional Go players, there is no doubt that the earlier they go professional, the better!
Being a year earlier means more opportunities for high-level matches. It also means being more likely to attract the attention of teams in the Chinese Weiqi League and the Women's Weiqi League, and being more likely to be cultivated as a key talent by the association and receive top-level resources.

Given Xiaohui's current skill level, he estimates she has a 30-40% chance of qualifying for the women's division, which isn't a small hope. But for the men's division, he's probably only "50% out of 100%".

It's certainly good that the little girl has ambition at such a young age, and it deserves encouragement! But as a teacher, Bai Yinhua undoubtedly has to consider the student's best interests and cannot let her have her way!

"Stop it, Xiaohui! We need to be reasonable!"

"Getting professional status early has advantages in every way! The opportunities, resources, and training conditions are far superior to those of junior top students!"

Bai Yinhua adopted the authority of a teacher and began to employ idol worship tactics:
"Including your sister Rui Zhao! She herself became a professional Go player through the women's professional ranking tournament - even the Empress Zhao went through this process, so we have no reason not to learn from her!"

"As for proving that you are no worse than boys your age... it's not too late to prove it after you enter the professional world!"
"Wouldn't it be a million times better to beat them fair and square in the professional arena than to take risks in the ranking tournament?!"

But to everyone's surprise, Qu Hui, that stubborn little thing, was absolutely adamant about not letting go!

No matter how Bai Yinhua tried to reason with her, offer bribes, or use her idol status to pressure her, she just kept shaking her head, her face tense, her eyes as determined as if she wanted to join the Party! She was determined to participate in the men's competition!
Helpless, looking out the window at the approaching dusk, and knowing that if they continued arguing, both families' dinners would get cold, Bai Yinhua felt exhausted and finally had no choice but to grit her teeth and unleash her ultimate weapon.

He sighed deliberately, leaning back in his chair, his face instantly transforming into one of deep sorrow and resentment, like that of a lonely old man in his twilight years, even his voice becoming so low it seemed to carry the weight of wind and snow:

"Hey! Xiao Hui, be a good girl!"
"I promised my parents that once you've started your career, I'll hurry up and arrange blind dates and get married."

"So you insist on setting a difficult level for yourself? Do you want your teacher to be a single dog for the rest of his life?"
"How could you be so heartless?!"

This move...

Outstanding effect!

Qu Hui's stubborn expression froze instantly.

For the first time, a clear hint of hesitation and reluctance flashed in those large, fighting eyes. She tilted her head, seemingly seriously considering the teacher's happiness in his later years.

After a long pause, looking at his teacher's miserable face, Qu Ye 5 whispered in a very sympathetic tone:

"I...I understand, I'll listen to you, Teacher Bai..."

However, before Bai Yinhua could finally breathe a sigh of relief after persuading the student, Qu Hui's large, clear eyes refocused on Bai Yinhua, looked her up and down, and said very seriously:
"Chu Jun is only in his early twenties, yet he already has a girlfriend as cute as a little witch..."

"But Teacher Bai, you're a whole decade older than Chu Jun! And you're still single..."

"Isn't that just too pitiful?!"

"...?"
"???????"

...

...

"...Little Glasses, do you remember what I told you last night?"

April 21st, the second game of the best-of-three final of this year's Spring Orchid Cup.

At 11:50 a.m., in the temporary live broadcast room of [Weiqi Xiaozhao] at Hailing Hotel.

The live broadcast signal light hadn't lit up yet. Yang Manjing, seeing there was still a little while before the broadcast started, turned slightly to her boyfriend and whispered something in a hushed tone, just between the two of them:

"No more stupid behavior allowed during today's live stream!"

"understand!"

Chu Jun subconsciously pushed up his glasses, nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice. But then a slight look of grievance appeared on his face.

"But... I didn't do anything yesterday!"

"I just think what you said is really good, Jingjing! I just agree with you from time to time..."

"Is that what you call echoing someone?!"

"You keep praising everything I say, it makes me think you're just being stupid!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Manjing's thick, thin eyebrows instantly shot up, her pretty face filled with disappointment, and her voice involuntarily rose slightly.

"Do you know that your silly grin during yesterday's live stream has almost been turned into memes online?!"

"I'm already your girlfriend, do you have to be so simp?!"

"……lick?!"

Upon hearing this term, Chu Jun's eyes widened instantly, clearly surprised and unconvinced by the statement. His cheeks puffed out slightly, displaying a youthful stubbornness, as he emphasized with utmost seriousness:
"No, no, I'm not licking!"

"Jingjing! I really think so!"

"Your insights are always very insightful, and your judgment in chess is also very accurate. I truly admire you!"

"..."

Looking at Chu Jun's confident and straightforward demeanor, which was almost as if he were about to raise his hand to swear an oath to prove his innocence, Yang Manjing's words of reprimand were suddenly stuck in her throat.

……All right!
It looks like Little Glasses' shell will have to be dismantled slowly...

Yang Manjing couldn't help but mutter another complaint in her mind, but a sense of pride and sweetness quietly surfaced in her heart, like fine threads of sugar, gradually wrapping around her.

But putting everything else aside... at least we can be sure that this guy is definitely a 100% first love!

No loss, no loss!

Empress Mulan secretly and proudly affirmed her own discerning eye in recognizing a pig... uh, I mean, a pearl.

Indeed, love is exclusive; when you like someone, you want to possess all their firsts!

Now his first love and first kiss are mine! Next, all that's missing is... just...

……

...Uh, no!

Little Hermione, what are you thinking about?!
Suddenly realizing that her thoughts had wandered a bit, Yang Manjing's ears turned red in an instant, and at the same time, it seemed as if small steam was rising from the top of her head!

She quickly shook her head vigorously, as if trying to shake out the untimely moisture from her brain!
Oh no! Oh no!

This leap in thinking is just too... too embarrassing!
She covered her face and wailed in her heart.

We've been spending too much time together lately, I must have caught the love-struck tendencies from this bespectacled guy!
Just then, Chu Jun noticed his girlfriend laughing one moment, blushing the next, and then shaking her head. Still feeling a bit aggrieved and confused from being criticized earlier, he stared intently at her, his eyes filled with the innocent question, "Jingjing, what's wrong? I wanted to explain to you!"

Being stared at by him so undisguisedly and purely made the already shy little witch feel her face getting even hotter.

"Okay, okay!"

Empress Mulan quickly turned her head away, avoiding Chu Jun's piercing gaze. She discreetly raised her hand to tidy her actually neat bangs, trying to make her voice sound more serious.
"You don't need to explain! I know you didn't mean that..."

"Anyway! Just don't act so...so silly during the live stream!"
"We are top professional chess players—top professionals! Do you understand?"

"Therefore, you must remain as calm as when playing chess!"

"Uh-huh!"

Chu Jun nodded immediately—although his eyes were still a little confused, unsure of exactly what "silly and foolish" meant.

Seeing that she had seemingly fooled her boyfriend, Miss Witch took a deep breath, trying to calm the flush on her face and her racing heart, and immediately changed the subject to her current work:
"Okay, okay! It's almost time!"
Let's go live!

Soon, as directed by the director, the live broadcast signal lights came on.

[Go Xiao Zhao]'s live broadcast of the second game of the final of this year's Spring Orchid Cup has officially begun!
"Good afternoon, everyone! Viewers and fans!"
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the second game of the best-of-three final of the 16th Spring Orchid Cup World Go Championship, brought to you by [Go Xiao Zhao]! I am your commentator for today, Yang Manjing."

"Hello everyone, I am Chu Jun."

The two opened with smooth and natural remarks, as if the minor "pre-broadcast controversy" had never happened. Yang Manjing then began a brief review of the match and an analysis of the current situation:
"In the first game of yesterday's final, Meijin Tianyuan Rui Zhao 9-dan once again demonstrated his unparalleled attacking ability and stability. Playing black, he suffocated the incumbent Go Saint Lei Qi 9-dan's large group of stones and won the first game."

"……Yes."

Xiao Chu, a ninth-dan player, nodded in agreement, displaying a more professional demeanor than yesterday, thanks to his girlfriend's reminders.

"Lei Qi played quite well yesterday. In the first half of the game, he and Rui Zhao were evenly matched, with neither giving an inch. In particular, his idea of ​​creating a ko in the upper right corner was very bold and ingenious, and at one point, it gave people hope that White would win."

"But it must be said that Rui Zhao's attacks are putting immense pressure on people!"
"To avoid excessive pressure in the subsequent central battle, Lei Qi missed the best opportunity to eliminate the calamity, and was ultimately defeated under the dual pressure of time and situation."

"We couldn't even win the first game when playing white, and now we're down 0-1 in the match..."

"For Lei Qi, the situation can be described as a do-or-die battle."

"...That's right!"
"Although my views at the Tianyuan Tournament were rather 'outrageous,' I've always felt that what I said made a lot of sense."

After a lighthearted joke, Miss Witch naturally transitioned the topic to today's match:

"After failing to win a game against Rui Zhao 9-dan while playing white in the previous game, Lei Qi 9-dan can be said to be standing on the edge of a cliff."

"Will he be able to bring us some surprises today, playing black, enough to turn the tide? Let's wait and see!"
"The game has now officially begun! The two players have switched black and white in the first game – Lei Qi 9-dan will play black first, while Rui Zhao 9-dan will play white second!"

"Both sides started with a centrally symmetrical star-shaped opening, and then Lei Qi took the lead by placing the 3-3 point in the lower left corner."

"Rui Zhao chose to block from above. Next, Black extended, and White flew down hoping to enter Ni Dao. However, it is foreseeable that Black will definitely push back to avoid it... Wait a minute?"

"Black didn't have a top, so it flew down and supported it?!?"

The game had barely started its commentary when Yang Manjing was stunned to see Lei Qi actually accept Rui Zhao's invitation to Ni Dao.

It wasn't until Rui Zhao's next move appeared on the board that the little witch came to her senses and exclaimed in surprise:

"...Ni Dao!!"
"With no way out left, Lei Qi actually accepted the invitation from Rui Zhao, the universally recognized new generation expert in throwing knives, and unleashed the Ni Dao Variation!!!"
