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

Chapter 891 What's wrong with girls?
"…Mom and Dad, did you see that?!

"I beat Lei Qi! This is the first time I've beaten Lei Qi in a formal competition since I was a child!
"She is indeed a beautiful magical girl like Hermione who has been beautiful since she was a child! Is your daughter really amazing?!
“…Huh? What?!
“You asked me if I was going to bring my glasses home today?!

"Uh... Of course not! Didn't you say before that you would wait until both of us were eliminated?

"Now I am the second female chess player after Rui Zhao to enter the top four of the unlimited national tournament!
“I have to prepare for the semi-finals today which will start tomorrow!
"And why are you acting like it's already so advanced? Isn't it just a trial date?!

"...Huh? What do you mean by 'I'm going to lose against Rui Zhao in three games anyway?! Why not catch Chu Jun as soon as possible?!'"

"No! Did you guys make a mistake?!
"Shouldn't the focus today be on my advancement into the Changqi Cup semi-finals?! Why do you keep talking about Chu Jun who was eliminated by that brat Nie Yunyi in the first round?!
"Um?

"What do you mean by 'you short and flat girl should seize the opportunity to lock up a good man'?!

"Is this something that parents can say?!!!"

……

Uh……

Is Yang Manjing so happy that she won a game against me?!
Even Chu Jun, my boyfriend, doesn't care...

At 10:26 pm on October , in the athletes’ rest area at Mida Plaza Hotel in Zhenze City, Suzhou Province.

Through the semi-transparent glass curtain wall, the voice of Queen Mulan making and receiving a phone call could be heard not far away. The current chess master, dressed in a dark gray suit, pressed the chess piece in his hand heavily on the chessboard, and his originally handsome expression became slightly distorted.

As for the result of today's match, Xiao Lei, the ninth dan, sat on the fabric sofa and reviewed the game over and over again. He felt somewhat bitter in his heart. His fingertips tapped the tablet screen unconsciously, but he shook his head helplessly.

Objectively speaking, he did have some thoughts of "going through the motions" in today's Changqi Cup quarterfinals - after all, he firmly believed that Rui Zhao would easily defeat Lin Ruixin.

So when facing the "little Hermione" who had never posed any threat, he did not do any targeted research at all, and started preparing for the three-game semi-final match with the famous player Zhaojun early on. The training log was filled with deductions on the layout against Rui Zhao.

But he never expected that he would be ambushed by the opponent's flying knives in today's competition. Soon after the start of the game, he was forced to accept a disproportionate change due to the opponent's careful preparation. The situation suddenly became very disadvantageous, like a kite with a broken string!

Even though Lei Qi fought back immediately after being stabbed and made strong moves, the witch lady also tried her best to maintain her advantage when she saw her opponent was stabbed. She was unwilling to let this rare opportunity to defeat Lei Qi slip away!
Amid the ticking of the chess clock, the game between the two sides was extremely tense.

Lei Qi's temples were throbbing as he racked his brains to deduce the changes in various parts of the chess game over and over again. Finally, in the 189th move of the small endgame, he seized the last scoop of the game from the little witch and overtook her with an exquisite two-way clamp!

However, just when he felt relieved, he suddenly found that he only had one minute left, while the little witch still had a full twenty minutes - it was almost certain that Lei Qi would be penalized, but Yang Manjing might not!
Seeing this, Lei Qi was dumbfounded, but there was nothing he could do at this moment. He could only use the delayed 20 minutes to close the game, and secretly pray that the little witch would make more mistakes or exceed the time limit.

However, today, Queen Mulan, who saw the dawn of victory, showed great fighting spirit and chess skills. With one and a half minutes left on her time, she and the leader of the same age finished all the official pieces!

At the end, although Lei Qi, playing black, had 185 points and Yang Manjing had 176 points, under the Changqi rule, black had an -point handicap and won by one point and one and a half points! But after taking into account the penalty points for delay, the little witch won by just one point!
After confirming her victory over Lei Qi, Yang Manjing couldn't help but jump up a little, with her ponytail drawing a joyful arc in the air.

Lei Qi stared down at the chessboard where the final game was still unfinished. He had no choice but to accept the bitter fruit of being eliminated by his peer who had become a professional chess player in the same year, and let the wrinkles of his suit pile up around his waist.

...Alas! Lost to the little witch!

Now I'm going to sit at the same table with Uncle Long, Uncle Tuo, Brother Lele and the rest of the old gang!

At this time, Lei Qi sighed deeply, feeling quite sad.

Obviously...

I also wanted to clarify to her that I was not her "little brother" after winning the semifinals...

But now we are all going to become the “youngest of the younger brothers”…

But at this moment, a gentle and familiar voice suddenly came from the side:
"Lei Qi Jiudan, don't be too depressed! Sometimes you can't help being stabbed!

"Didn't our country also get stabbed by Chu Jun in the competition?"

"……Eh?"

Lei Qi hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around, only to see Athena standing against the light, her delicate face coated with the pale white halo of the overhead light.

She tucked her hair behind her ears with her slender fingers, and her gentle smile seemed to carry the warmth of melting snow in early spring, which made him feel a little better.

But it seemed that only a moment later, the other party's words once again penetrated through the eardrums into Xiao Lei Jiuduan's heart:
“What, what happened?
"Did I just say something wrong?!"

"Ah?! Uh, no...ah, that..."

Realizing his own misconduct, Lei Qi waved his hands hastily, his shirt cuffs jingling against the coffee table, and he responded hastily, "This, this is still different!
"The little witch is a female chess player. I feel a little bit..."

However, these words made Empress Zhaotian, who had been planning to comfort her "younger brother", suddenly lean forward, frowned slightly and pouted, saying:
"What's wrong with being a girl? I'm a girl too!
"Like in the three domestic rapid chess tournaments this year, you, Lei Qi, 9th Dan, have never beaten me!"

"Uh……"

After these words were spoken, Xiao Lei Jiudan realized that he had just stepped on a landmine in his haste.

"No, no! You're different!
"You are very special to me..."

"……special?"

Rui Zhao blinked his glass-like eyes:
"What's so special about it?!"

"Uh……"

The air suddenly stagnated and Lei Qi's ears turned red.

This question immediately made Xiao Lei Jiudan angry. He hesitated for a long time before staring at the carpet pattern and answering:

"Well... I've only lost to you, a female chess player, in official competitions before, so I'm a little concerned about losing this time."

"Ah! It's okay!"

Xiao Qi didn't notice anything wrong with the other party's words and expression when he heard this, and comforted him naturally:
"You'll get used to losing to female chess players after losing a lot!"

"..."

Lei Qi opened his mouth but was speechless. A strange feeling was like a vine entwining his heart - just like when he cried to his girlfriend after being molested by a female hooligan, but was told with a cold look, "What's wrong with a grown man being touched by someone?" It was as outrageous as...

But before Lei Qi could fully recover, Rui Zhao added:
"but……

"I never thought that you, Lei Qi Jiudan, are so young and yet you have such conservative ideas?!
"It's obvious that players like Zhu Yuanjun, Bian Lele, and Tang Guansheng have expressed their opinions to the media many times, saying that everyone thinks that girls are just as talented as boys in Go!"

……Depend on!

It was obviously those old men who shamelessly showed off in front of the girl! How come I am the one who is "conservative" now? !
However, although Xiao Lei Jiudan cursed in his heart, he could only honestly admit it:
“Well… you, you’re right!
"I will reflect on this..."

"This is right!"

Rui Zhao patted the other person's shoulder and encouraged him:
"Okay, cheer up!
“Once the Changqi Cup is over, the Masters Tournament will begin soon!

"I still remember what you said to me after the celebrity challenger decided the match last year!"

"……Um."

Lei Qi nodded and said with a small smile:
"If I were to play a three-game match with you, it might not be easy for you to defend your title, right?"

“I know that!
"But only in this way can it be truly worthy of the name!"

“It lives up to its name…”

Xiao Lei Jiuduan pondered the meaning of the words and frowned slightly:
"Didn't I tell you not to take on responsibilities that aren't yours?
"That's what I said..."

Rui Zhao lowered his eyelashes, his smile tinged with the twilight by the window:

"But... that's just who I am!

"It can't be changed in a short time!"

"……I see."

After a moment of hesitation, Lei Qi pursed his lips, then looked at the other person very seriously:

"Masters Tournament... I will come to find you. But since I missed the Changqi Cup this time...

“…You must win the championship.”
