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

The scene was...incredibly awkward!
Xiao Nie Miao was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to describe it!

He felt a surge of heat rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his cheeks instantly became burning hot!

At this moment, Lin Ruixin's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and his eyes were filled with a lingering sense of depression—clearly, the internet celebrity Lin had not gotten the result he wanted in the other semi-final that had just ended.

Moreover, Nie Yunyi was absolutely certain that his idol had clearly heard him utter the word "Rui Zhao"!
Because the other person's sharp, hawk-like eyes caught him precisely the moment the door opened, and then... their gaze, like an ice-cold knife, pierced straight at him with undisguised coldness!
This gave Xiao Nie Miao, whose romantic experience was still a blank slate, the feeling of waiting to surprise her new love at first sight with a gift, only to unexpectedly run into her current girlfriend who was in the middle of a cold war but hadn't officially broken up with her yet...

A strong feeling called "guilt" instantly seized him!

...Huh?! Am I...?

...Is it a bit rubbish?!
Xiao Xianbao, who has never been popular with the opposite sex, suddenly had a question that was completely beyond his knowledge. He was stunned and his brain almost completely shut down!

However, this suffocating embarrassment lasted for almost only two seconds.

Lin Ruixin's gaze lingered on Nie Yunyi for less than a second, her cold eyes seeming to casually sweep over an insignificant decoration.

Immediately, with a cold and stern expression, he quickly withdrew his gaze, his steps not faltering at all, as if Nie Yunyi, who was blocking the doorway, did not exist at all, and walked straight through the corridor.

The sound of leather shoes clicking on the floor was exceptionally clear in the quiet corridor…

...and also exceptionally distant.

As Nie Yunyi watched his tall, yet clearly forlorn figure disappear into the distance, she hesitated, unsure whether she should chase after him to offer a word of explanation.

Just as he was in a state of confusion and caught between a rock and a hard place, a clear, bright voice, like a mountain stream, carrying a hint of satisfaction after finishing an intense match, suddenly rang in his ears:

"Hmm? Little Nie?"

Rui Zhao leaned out, a perfectly measured surprise in her clear eyes, her gaze landing on Nie Yunyi, who stood frozen in the middle of the corridor:
What are you doing here? Didn't you go back after being eliminated?

The moment he heard his beloved's voice, Nie Yunyi jolted awake! His cheeks, already flushed from Lin Ruixin's presence, turned an even redder red, as if they could bleed!
He turned around almost simultaneously, facing Rui Zhao, his mind blank. All the prepared remarks he had made were thrown into disarray by the sudden feeling of being caught in the act of adultery.

"Ah...this,this isn't important!"

He waved his hand incoherently, trying to erase the awkward moment from their lives, then took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and remembered the true purpose of his trip:

"Ah, that... Rui Zhao!"
"Do you know... that you're being targeted by that group of male 9-dan Go players in a coordinated effort?"

"Huh? 'Organized joint targeting'?"

Upon hearing this, Rui Zhao paused slightly, a genuine hint of doubt flashing in her beautiful eyes:

"Such a good thing?!"

"...What do you mean 'such a good thing exists'?!?"

Seeing that she seemed completely unaware, and even still looked dazed and confused, Nie Yunyi became even more anxious and quickly explained:
"It's just that... Bian Lele and his group of male 9-dan players felt it was too humiliating to be constantly bullied and oppressed by you, so they organized an organization called 'Rui Zhao Encirclement Network,' and they're always thinking about how to target you and make you lose the game!"
"To this end, they created a shared throwing knife library, with each contributing their research findings to deal with you! The super roll attack in the bottom right corner that the officer used against you today was also one of those throwing knives from the library!"
"Including the two throwing knives that He Wei and I used on you during the Tianyuan Tournament, that was also... that was also..."

"...!!!"

At this point, Nie Yunyi's voice suddenly stopped, as if he had been choked!

Oh no! I let it slip! I've sold myself out!

Upon realizing this, an even stronger sense of shame welled up inside him, and he wished he could disappear into the ground on the spot.

But now that things had come to this, he knew that since he had already spoken out, the fact that he was a member would be exposed sooner or later. Rather than trying to hide it, he might as well…

Confess and you'll be treated leniently!

He steeled his resolve, closed his eyes, and, with the courage of someone facing execution, added:

"Um...I...I did join this encirclement for a period of time before..."

"But... but I've already quit! I've completely quit!"

"I...I don't hate you anymore! On the contrary, I...I really think you're special..."

He couldn't bring himself to say the rest of his words.

Is he exceptionally talented? Exceptionally admirable? Or...?

What particularly moved him...?
Uh, no, no, no!!

Nie Yunyi, what are you thinking? Be more composed!

This matter requires careful planning! Let's play the long game! We'll sneak into the village without firing a shot!
First and foremost, it's most important that she doesn't misunderstand me!

However… the questioning, disappointment, or anger that Xiao Nie Miao had anticipated did not materialize. After hearing his hasty and chaotic confession, Rui Zhao not only wasn't angry, but instead chuckled softly. That smile was like the first melting of snow, carrying a knowing shrewdness and a sense of understanding:
"Alright, alright, Nie Yunyi!"
"You don't need to be so nervous!"

Her voice carried a soothing tone, as if she were comforting an overly anxious child:
I think you did a great job!
"He truly deserves to be the role model of male Go players that I admire!"

"Eh?"

Upon being praised, Nie Yunyi was momentarily stunned, as if his heart had skipped a beat.

Seeing his stunned expression, Rui Zhao's smile deepened, but she offered no further explanation. Instead, she nodded slightly and uttered a soft murmur of understanding and admiration:

"So...this organization really exists!"
"That's right..."

Her tone suggested that she was merely confirming an interesting anecdote she had already heard, rather than learning of a conspiracy targeting her by a group of top chess players.

Immediately, Athena in the rapid chess game looked at Nie Yunyi, her eyes carrying a hint of playfulness:
"Then... Nie Yunyi."

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

"……what?"

Suddenly entrusted with a task by her beloved, Xiao Nie Miao was taken aback, then quickly nodded her head, just like a little knight accepting a princess's important mission:
"Yes! You, you say it!"
"I will listen to everything you say."

The beautiful ninth-level beauty smiled slightly, put a finger to her lips, and made a "shh" gesture:
"Keep this a secret!"

Her smile was radiant, carrying a knowing yet nonchalant air of nonchalance:

"Okay, I have to go do my interview now!"

As she spoke, she lightly walked around Nie Yunyi and left.

"Huh? It's a secret?!"

Nie Yunyi was completely dumbfounded!
He instinctively opened his mouth, wanting to ask more. However, before he could even utter a word, his phone, held in his palm, suddenly vibrated rapidly!
Buzz buzz—!
This sudden new situation interrupted his question that was about to be uttered.

Nie Yunyi almost reflexively lowered his head, subconsciously glancing at the lit-up phone screen—the QQ message pop-up was clearly visible:
[The Second Encirclement of Rui Zhao (99+)]

【Bian Lele:】

[@Everyone]

[Everyone, I've already arranged to meet Zeng Gou for his live stream this evening!]

[Thus, the "Second Encirclement of Rui and Zhao" has successfully completed its historical mission—its smooth surrender can be considered a satisfactory outcome!]

[To eliminate evidence of wrongdoing, this group will be officially disbanded in ten minutes. This is to inform you accordingly!]

"...?"
"?!?!?!"

...

...

"【The Empress, eighteen years old, enters the chessboard, holding a white staff and clear waters by the Xuan Lake!】"

"[Having defeated Han and captured Liu, Nong is resolute; at the tender age of twenty, he is destined to be a renowned ruler!]"

"At twenty-one, he wore three gold medals; at twenty-two, he was adorned with a crown of honor."

"How did he rise to the top of the chess world so quickly? It was by focusing intently on the path ahead!"

"...Brother Zeng, what do you think of the poem I wrote praising our incomparably noble number one chess player, the Athena of Swift Chess, the Khan of the Chessboard?"
Is that enough to describe even a fraction of the majesty of the great diva?!
"Oh... there might be some obscure parts that I need to explain to you!"

"The first sentence refers to the 18th level of the Heavenly Queen, and then she achieved a seven-game winning streak in the two stages of the Lakeside Cup, which sealed the victory for our China!"
The second line, "Breaking through Han and capturing Liu, the farmer's heart is at ease," needs no further explanation; it refers to the queen's earth-shattering "pink miracle"! This deserves special mention!
"The phrase 'famous ruler' in the following sentence has a double meaning: on the one hand, it refers to the fact that the Empress was already a famous figure, Zhaojun, at the age of twenty; on the other hand, it also refers to the Empress's wisdom and virtue, her widespread fame, and that she can be recognized as the greatest female chess player in history..."

At 6:30 p.m. on the same day, at a hotel near the Huaxia Chess Academy.

Watching Bian Lele, who had come to his live stream today, talking non-stop, Zeng Guangwen's expression could only be described in four words—utterly dumbfounded.

He forgot to put down the water glass he was holding, his mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were wide open, looking exactly like he had seen a ghost.

Bian Lele's torrent of praise just now was packed with information and overflowing with emotion!
Especially when the last poem of praise, which even he, who always liked flattery, found nauseating, came out, Comrade Xigou couldn't help but mutter to himself!
hey hey...

What's wrong with you, you idiot?!
When they contacted me this afternoon, they said they had something important to announce and wanted to give my live stream some juicy tidbits.

But now, listening to your boasting, I feel...

...Are you here to steal my spot, you bastard?! (End of Chapter)
