"Liu Jiuduan, you came here today...

"What are you doing?"

At twelve noon on October 10nd, at the entrance of the Chinese delegation’s residence in the Zhongjing Asian Games Village.

Lei Qi, who had just learned that the world's number one player from the South Korean team was coming to visit, came to the front desk and questioned the other party in a rather cold voice.

Today, the young master of the Liu family did not have the usual gentleness and a hint of cunningness. His slightly furrowed brows showed that he had lost his usual calmness and composure.

Even in the third game of the Tongge Cup final, the young Chinese leader could only see the opponent's emotional fluctuations from the chess pieces - this kind of obvious anxiety was the first time Lei Qi had seen it.

"Leiqi Ninth Stage?"

Seeing that the person coming was not the one he was looking for, Liu Shixian was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and said in a calm voice:

“Um… I came here to apologize to Rui Zhao.

"I only got the news about this incident from your domestic media yesterday at noon..."

But before Liu Shixian could say more, Lei Qi interrupted him:
“Apologies…are not necessary for now.

"She doesn't know about this yet."

"Eh?"

This answer surprised Liu Shixian somewhat:

"You...didn't you tell her?!"

"Why tell her this? It's just a farce that has nothing to do with Go!"

Lei Qi shrugged helplessly and said:
"She is already a little unhappy because she can't attend Brother Sun and my senior sister's wedding. There is no need for us to rush and make things more difficult for her!
"Besides, I also guess that you definitely didn't participate in it. But it would be inappropriate for you not to talk about this matter when you came to my house, so I came out to meet you on her behalf."

"……Yeah?
"It seems that my coming here has caused you trouble!"

After blinking several times, the world's number one man smiled bitterly:
“But as a silver medalist in two events and a possible potential beneficiary, I have to come here in person!
“Although I went to the chess academy and the delegation as soon as I learned about the situation yesterday, hoping to stop this embarrassing thing, but to be honest - this matter is completely beyond my control.

"This report has caused a great response in South Korea, and our own people have been very vocal about the delegation's behavior.

"My family has given me clear instructions to follow the delegation's instructions and not to make any public statements or accept interviews without authorization, so as not to cause trouble for the public relations of the family business.

"As an idle prince who has never contributed to the family, I really have no right to refuse this...

"I can only say that if the worst happens, I will definitely not go to receive the award..."

"It won't be the worst case scenario - this outrageous report will not lead to any results at all!"

Lei Qi simply shook his head:

"I really don't know why you South Koreans like to do this kind of thankless task so much..."

"what……

"If we talk about this...it's enough to write a book!"

Young Master Liu sighed, his expression showing deep helplessness:

"...If I have to say something, then I can only say that our small country with few people likes to go to extremes!

"Okay! Since she doesn't know yet, I'll trouble you to convey these words to her when the time is right!"

“…Okay, this is easy.”

Although he subconsciously had the urge to refuse at the first moment, Lei Qi still agreed.

He still remembered that the opponent had come to his rescue after the final the day before yesterday. If he refused now, it would be too petty.

However, taking this opportunity, the young Chinese leader also asked:
"But... there's something I've always wanted to ask you:
"The private information you told me at the welcome party before the Sanshuang Cup last year...

"Is it true or not?!"

"……Um?"

Liu Shixian was slightly surprised when he heard this, then he smiled and said:

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Uh……

"It just feels a little bit unreal...

"It seems like you are just teasing me."

"……Yeah?"

Liu Shixian raised his eyebrows slightly, and then went straight to the point:
"Hmm... you think:

"If our identities had been swapped after the finals the day before yesterday... you definitely wouldn't have helped me out, right?"

"!!!"

Xiao Lei Jiudan was shocked when he was hit on the head, and his face suddenly felt hot:

"No! I just, just..."

But before he could open his mouth to argue, Liu Shixian's next words came:

“Then I can tell you very honestly: of course it is true.

“It’s just that I like her…

"...definitely more pure than yours." After saying this, without waiting for the other party to react, the world's number one chess player left, not giving the young chess player a chance to stop him.

Lei Qi took a while to digest these words, and only reacted when the other party walked away:
No, no! I, I don't like her!

He should stop talking to himself all the time!!!
However, Liu Shixian had already gone far away, and the Chinese chess master, who had just turned 21, had no choice but to return to the training room assigned to the delegation and the Go team with something on his mind.

“…Lei Qi Ninth Stage!
"Hmm? Didn't Liu Jiuduan come with you?"

Seeing Lei Qi coming back alone, Rui Zhao, who was still reviewing the game in front of the chessboard, asked curiously.

After all, after she received Liu Shixian's message, Lei Qi said that he would "go and pick up Liu Shixian" - but now Young Master Liu is nowhere to be seen.

"Ah... no, no!
"He left after giving a few words!"

"……Um?"

Xiaohanhan tilted his head slightly puzzled:
“He just sent me a message saying he was waiting for me at the gate of our base and wanted to apologize to me… What on earth is going on?!
"I don't think he has anything to apologize for!"

"Ah, no, nothing!"

Lei Qi quickly said:

“Well, that…

"Didn't he say the day before yesterday that he would find an opportunity to play chess with you later? As a result, you were in Zhongjing these two days, and he suddenly had something to do and didn't have time to meet you, so he came to say sorry.

"I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I just told him to tell him so he doesn't have to come up here again!"

After saying this, Lei Qi looked into the other person's eyes with a guilty conscience.

In his opinion, the explanation he gave was not only extremely poor, but also full of loopholes.

——If his father dared to tell such a lie to the leader of the family, Boss Qin would have to dig deep into the ground and find out the whole story and the reason why Lao Lei Jiudan lied, and make it clear!
But...it was also fortunate that the opponent was the number one idiot of the Chinese delegation in this Asian Games.

Queen Zhaotian didn't notice anything unusual about Lei Qi's clumsy lie.

"Ah... this kind of thing is totally unnecessary!"

Rui Zhao smiled and said:

"What's more, I think it's great that you, Lei Qi, have been practicing chess with me these past two days!"

"That's good!"

Hearing this, Lei Qi felt relieved and his heart was warmed at the same time.

However, Xiao Lei Jiudan might not have thought of this...

The famous person Zhaojun said, there is a second half:

"That's it...

"I feel like your slow chess skills these past two days aren't as good as they were in the previous matches. You seem a little distracted! I won this morning's slow chess game!
"Can you... be more serious?"

"Ah, this, this, this...

"Just thinking about not being able to attend my senior sister's wedding, I feel a little guilty!"

Facing this beautiful rival, Xiao Lei Jiudan has been feeling quite restless these past two days. He quickly changed the subject and said:

"Right, right! Now I guess...

"Their wedding has already started, right?"

...

...

"Eh? Why did Liu Yu's daughter give the bouquet to such a little guy?

"Isn't this really inciting underage marriage?!"

"Yeah! Look at her body shape... Could she have just graduated from junior high school?!"

"That's not the case! Didn't you hear Yu Hong say that this girl will be twenty years old next year?"

"Ah? No way?!
"Then he was born in 07?"

"Oh my god! Can anyone born after 05 still be that short?!

"It looks like it's less than 1.55 meters tall, right?!"

……

Uh... no!
Although when I saw that dwarf taking the bouquet from Rui Zhao the day before yesterday, I also wanted it a little bit in my heart...

But this is not the bouquet I want!!!

At twelve noon on October 10, in the banquet hall of a hotel in Jinling City.

Amid the whispers of some guests, Yang Manjing, who walked off the stage holding the wedding bouquet, had a face full of mixed emotions, revealing an indescribable dilemma.

…How come I, a rookie chess player who is not even old enough to get married, am receiving the bouquet at a wedding? ! !

This arrangement...

Is there something wrong somewhere?! (End of this chapter)
