"Ah...I lost!"

At 12:11 p.m. local time on December th, in the chess game room of Gonchi Resort, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.

After the 191th move, seeing that there was no longer any chance of winning or losing, Chu Jun, who had finally calmed down after struggling for most of the game, finally chose to resign. He then said with regret:

"I didn't expect that you were so well prepared for your flying knives!"

If you say I'm unwilling, then I'm definitely unwilling.

But Xiao Chu Jiudan knew that there was no reason for him to continue stirring up trouble.

In contrast to my complete defeat in today's game, my last victory in the national championship seemed like a successful sneak attack by the opponent when he was not paying attention. It is indeed difficult to replicate!

The incumbent celebrity who just fought off the invading attackers with flying knives in two consecutive rounds in the celebrity competition and is now the leader of China, is indeed worthy of his reputation!
"Ah...thank you for your advice."

Rui Zhao, who had slowly recovered from the "flow", returned the greeting and seemed to want to say something, but he pursed his lips and said:
“Well… I just researched a little deeper by chance.

"Let's re-arrange the changes on the lower right side, shall we? Actually, Chu Jun, you handled it very well, but it was a bit too forced to go to the back..."

However, Xiao Chu Jiudan quickly waved his hand and said:

"We won't replay this game, right? I feel a little tired...

"Ah! That, that!
"Congratulations on reaching the finals, Rui Zhao! You are the second female chess player to reach the finals of the unlimited world championship!
"I've always thought it was only a matter of time before you equaled the Ice Queen's record. I never thought I'd have the opportunity to personally participate in it. I can be considered a witness to history!"

Although Chu Jun tried hard to control his tone and to appear as decent as possible, even he could hear the forced smile in his words. It was really lame!

"……Thanks!"

Hearing his opponent's statement, Rui Zhao, who wanted to review the changes in the lower right corner with his opponent, did not say anything and took the lead in collecting the pieces:
"Chu, Chu Jun, just do as you please! I can collect the chess pieces by myself!"

"Not at all, how can this be so embarrassing!"

The captain of the Pengze team tried hard to maintain his expression and dignity, and hurriedly packed up his white pieces.

In a few dozen seconds, both sides quickly cleared the entire board. After expressing congratulations and apologies to Rui Zhao again, Chu Jun immediately took back the items he had deposited and quickly left the venue, finding an empty corner and began to feel depressed.

As expected...I still lost!

And lost so miserably!
Xiao Chu Jiuduan's eyes, which had originally been very red, were now completely wet, and he had to wipe them repeatedly with his hands to hold back the tears.

Although he had already gotten used to being crushed by monsters during his growth, he even cried so many times that he didn't know how many times he had cried!

However, when he was just a hair's breadth away from his set goal, he was ruthlessly crushed and defeated again. Even Chu Jun, who was used to defeat, could not control his emotions at this moment. He did not dare to review the game slowly with Rui Zhao in front of the camera, for fear that if he stayed for half a second longer, his loss of composure would be recorded throughout the process.

But... there was nothing he could do about it.

Failure is something that no matter how many times you have experienced it, you may suddenly become unable to adapt to it!
After biting his lips hard for a while, Xiao Chu lowered his head and opened his phone again, intending to go to Yiguo to carefully study which moves in his lower right corner were losing moves.

Although he did not review the game with Rui Zhao, his instinct as a chess player still made him eager to know where exactly he lost, simply because he was afraid of losing control of his emotions, so that he could reflect and repent, and launch a more fierce attack on the two monsters of the same age in the future.

But before he could open Yiguo, several voice call notifications popped up on the WeChat interface, and the callers...

It’s Yang Manjing!
...Huh? No!
Why did she call me at this time? !

However, before Xiao Chu Jiudan could react, another voice call suddenly came in, as if the little witch on the other end would not give up until the call was connected!
But the boy with glasses didn't have the courage to answer the phone, and he hung up the phone in a panic - at this moment he was still trying hard not to cry!
If he answers the phone now, he will definitely cry. Xiao Chu Jiudan absolutely does not want to let his sweetheart see him in such an embarrassing state!
But just as Chu Jun was racking his brains to find a reason to explain, two text messages appeared on his screen in less than ten seconds:
【Little Glasses, what’s wrong with you? ! 】

[Don’t be embarrassed to answer the phone just because you’re crying, okay? ! ! ! ]

...Eh?
How did she know I was crying? ! !
The young man with glasses, who was still trying to find an excuse, was suddenly embarrassed and at a loss for what to do for a moment.

However, with Miss Witch's short temper, there was no time for him to digest the situation slowly! Immediately, two more WeChat messages came, urging him to die:
[Okay, stop crying! Answer the phone now! ! ]

[If you don't accept, we will end our friendship!!!]

"...???"

Chu Jun's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this, but before he could fully come to his senses, the other party called him on WeChat again!
Now, Xiao Chu Jiudan, who was trapped in a corner by Queen Mulan, had no time to hesitate!
Losing the game of chess was fine, but being cut off by Yang Manjing would be a literal "losing both the wife and the army" in the physical sense!
“Hello…?”

After the voice call was connected, Chu Jun tried to say hello first, but just after saying "hello" twice, the other party impatiently roared like a lion: "Hello, little glasses! You are getting bolder and bolder, aren't you?!
"You dare to hang up when I call you?! Huh???!"

"Uh no, listen to my explanation!"

Xiao Chu Jiudan hurriedly tried to clarify the misunderstanding, but the little witch seemed to have no intention of listening to the explanation and continued:

"What's there to explain? You just feel embarrassed to cry and you're too embarrassed to answer the phone.
"As soon as I saw your face and neck turned red, and you left the market without reviewing the situation, I knew you were mentally broken!"

Uh……

Have you touched it all so thoroughly? !

The witch lady's questioning was so merciless that Xiao Chu didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Fortunately, Queen Mulan did not dwell on this question for too long. She slowed down her tone and continued to ask:
"Please!

"How many times have we lost to Lei Qi and Rui Zhao? Why do you look so aggrieved again this time?!
"Don't cry! We'll find a chance to do it again next time - we've done it before!"

"I, I'm not crying!"

Although he had been seen through by the other party, and his underwear might have been seen through, Xiao Chu Jiudan still shamelessly denied the other party's statement:
"I almost made it to the finals, but I was eliminated like a piece of cake. I can't accept it..."

"Hey! What are you in such a hurry for?"

Yang Manjing continued to comfort him:

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future! Don't worry, take your time!"

"But, but this way, I won't be able to meet your request, and I don't know when I'll have to wait for the next time..."

"Hmm? My request?"

Hearing this, Yang Manjing's voice was obviously a little puzzled:
"When did I ask you to enter the World Championship finals?!"

"Uh...n-nothing!
"I remembered it wrongly, I remembered it wrongly!"

Chu Jun realized that he had let something slip and quickly smoothed it over, then quickly changed the subject:
"Well... I will continue to work hard next time! You don't have to worry!

"Ah! I, I still have to go to the post-match interview, so let's not talk about it for now!"

"Is this so..."

There was a hint of suspicion in the little witch's tone:
"Why do I always feel like you're hiding something from me?"

"no no!"

Chu Jun replied repeatedly:
"We even shared the flying knives we researched, so why would I keep any secrets from you?

"Well, I'll hang up first! I want to finish the interview and get some rest as soon as possible!"

"...Okay! We can talk about it in detail when you return home...ah!"

At the moment when the voice call was about to end, a scream suddenly came from the little witch, which scared Chu Jun a little!
"Huh? What happened to you?"

Xiao Chu Jiudan asked hurriedly, but then he found that the other party had hung up the phone. He called again, but this time it was Yang Manjing who said he would not answer the phone no matter what!
This...what is going on...

This time it’s Xiao Chu Jiudan’s turn!
I quickly sent a message:

【What's wrong? 】

[I just heard you scream, did you fall somewhere? ]

This time, Miss Witch's reply was not as fast as before. It took her nearly a minute to reply, as if something had really knocked her out:
[Nothing, nothing! I was just a little surprised when I saw Lei Qi just now! ]

[Now his winning rate as black is 77.7%, the chances are very high! ] (End of this chapter)
