An Impossible to Reject Confession

    As the son of Qiao Dongyuan, the first Go player in China, the title of Go prodigy has been engraved on Qiao Mu since he was born, and the fixed stage competition at the age of ten can be described as much attention. But how high-profile that time was, how low-key this time was. As a young man entering the fixed stage from the amateur channel, no one felt that Arbor would be a threat.

    A child of his age, if not from a dojo, must still be studying. A student who is still in school does not have a lot of time to practice Go. This is everyone's understanding . This perception was only broken after Qiao Mu won for half a month in a row and passed the knockout without a single defeat.

    "You really didn't come out of the dojo?" After winning fifteen games in a row, Qiao Mu met an acquaintance, Shen Sicong of Qingxuan Dojo in J City.

    "Before I was ten years old, I was in a dojo." Qiao Mu and Shen Sicong had a match. Last year, he went to J city to participate in an amateur Go game, and met him in the commercial street behind, he was chatting up at the time Xu Youyou.

    "Before I was ten years old, why didn't I stay in the dojo later, is it a teacher?" But Shen Sicong no longer recognized Qiao Mu.

    "Going to school." Qiao Mu said lightly.

    "Go to school? You've already decided to become a professional Go player, what else do you go to school for?"

    "Going to school is also very important." Qiao Mu glanced at the clock next to him, there were two minutes before the game started.

    "Is it your first time to participate in a fixed stage match?" Shen Sicong likes to chat with his opponent very much. Through chatting, he can know the general character of the opponent and judge the opponent's style of chess.

    "The second time." Qiao Mu replied.

    "Second time? I also participated last year, why haven't I seen you." Shen Sicong recalled hard that he finished in the top 30 in last year's fixed stage race, but he did not remember Arbor Such people have appeared.

    Qiao Mu is really attractive. During the competition these days, the female students in the dojo will definitely talk about Qiao Mu whenever they have time. He has seen Qiao Mu in several dojo groups. of stealing pictures.

    "By the way, were you in Hongluochang before?" Shen Sicong remembered, someone seemed to have mentioned that Mr. Wang from Hongluochang knew Qiao Mu.

    Qiao Mu glanced at him, and answered the question: "How many names did you win last year?"

    "Twenty-six." Shen Sicong replied, "Six places are short of success."

    Twenty first-dan players passed last year in the fixed stage, and this year, only the top 20 passed.

    "If your chess skills improve, chances are great this year." Qiao Mu said sincerely.

    The two became quiet at the same time, and invariably stretched out their hands to the baskets on both sides, and began to grab first.

    Qiao Mu is white and Shen Sicong is black, exactly the same as last time.

    Shen Sicong seemed to have a car in his chest, raised his hand and dropped a piece on the chessboard, Qiao Mu glanced at the chess piece, and his brows were slightly adjusted. It fell there too.

    Concentrating, Qiao Mu raised his hand and posted it.

      Collection error.

    The first half of the fixed-stage competition is a knockout round. If you play consecutive games, you will be eliminated if you lose three games in total. Qiao Mu has won fifteen games in a row, a record that cannot be achieved even by experts in the dojo, so although Shen Sicong was very calm, he was still a little wary of Qiao Mu. Before knowing that he was going to play with Qiao Mu today, he specifically asked some people who had played against Qiao Mu, and everyone's answers were the same.

    The chess style is mild, not aggressive, likes to defend, and exerts power in the middle and back.

    There are fifteen games in total, none of which ends in the middle game, and each game is played to the end.

      Yes, this game of chess gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

    In an hour...

    "I lost." Shen Sicong lowered his head, Qiao Mu had seen through all his ways, and he could only lose if he continued.

    "Your chess skills have improved." Qiao Mu put the pieces he was holding back into the basket.

    Shen Sicong suddenly raised his head: "What do you mean by that? Have we ever played chess? I always feel familiar when I play chess with you."

    "I went to J city to participate in an amateur Go tournament last year, and played a game with you."

    Shen Sicong opened his mouth wide, he remembered that he had met a boy with a higher chess skill than him on the pedestrian street behind the Go Club. But that person is obviously a fat man who is not good-looking.

    "Is it you?" Shen Sicong still did not dare to recognize it.

    "You also said at the time that you wanted to see me at the fixed stage last year, but I didn't really hope." Qiao Mu smiled.

    Shen Sicong blushed suddenly, he was participating in this year's fixed stage competition, and he said that he wanted to meet him, didn't he just curse himself for not being able to pass last year?

    I go, do you want to be so smart?

    "I hope we can all advance this year." Qiao Mu nodded and left.

    He is not a person who likes to hold grudges, except for rivals.

    After Qiao Mu turned around and went out to report the results of the game, another group of chess games not far from them ended. After hurriedly greeting his opponent, Aileshan got up and followed.

    The two recorded their results on the chopping board one after the other, and the same 16 consecutive victories.

    What a coincidence? Qiao Mu couldn't help but glanced at the boy beside him.

    Aileshan came to Arbor, and immediately said enthusiastically: "Hello, my name is Aileshan, you can call me Xiaole."

    "Qiao Mu." Qiao Mu heard the name of the chess player who played against him, and it seemed that he was the favorite of this fixed stage competition, the grandson of a certain boss. But he is not a gossip person, so the specific situation is not clear.

    "I know you, I've been watching you."

    "Follow me?" Qiao Mu was surprised.

    "Yes, I've been following you since the day you registered."

      But the other party said that he started paying attention from the day he came to register. There is only one possibility, the other party knows himself and knows his identity.

    "Uncle Qi said that you will be my biggest opponent in this fixed stage competition, so I have been paying attention to you." Aileshan did not notice the strangeness of Qiaomu, and still said to himself, "I went to watch your first game. An opponent who is obviously very weak. You are fully capable of forcing him to admit defeat in the middle game. Why should you stay with him until the end."

    Uncle Qi?

    "Director Qi Fang?" Qiao Mu guessed.

     "Yes, Uncle Qi Fang, when you came to register, we were in the corridor on the second floor." Aileshan nodded.

    Yes, Qi Fang is the organizer of the fixed stage competition, and he will definitely have all the information in his hand. However, after so many years, Qiao Mu did not expect the other party to recognize him at a glance.

    When he was a child, he had contact with Qi Fang several times, but he was not impressed. He only remembered that he seemed to have said to himself at that time that as long as he could pass the fixed stage, he would recommend himself to the national team.

    At that time, he still had some admiration for Qiao Dongyuan. Due to his mother's reasons, he didn't dare to show it at home on weekdays. He always looked forward to passing the fixed stage competition and joining the national team. , so that I have the opportunity to go abroad to compete with Qiao Dongyuan.

    Today's Qiaomu no longer has this admiration, but the mood at that time is unforgettable.

    "Oh." Qiao Mu didn't want to get caught up in the memory of the past, so he made a soft "Oh", turned around and left.

    "Where are you going? Are you going to eat? Let's go together." Aileshan followed enthusiastically.

    "I'll go back to the hotel." Qiaomu didn't want to have more contact with Elleshan.

    "You live in a hotel? Why don't you live at home? Oh, I see, your brother is too noisy. Teacher Qiao is afraid of disturbing your chess practice, so he specially booked a hotel for you." Elle Mountain Road.

    Qiao Mu abruptly paused, staring at the boy's face.

    Aileshan is also a big nerve, still didn't notice anything wrong, and continued to say to himself: "I'll invite you to dinner, after the fixed stage I want to take Teacher Qiao as my teacher, At that time, we are also considered brothers and sisters, so let’s get in touch with each other in advance.”

    "I have nothing to do with Qiao Dongyuan." Qiao Mu said coldly.

    Aileshan felt strange: "You...Aren't you Teacher Qiao's son?"

    Qiao Mu did not explain any further, turned and left. Maybe it was because Qiao Mu's coldness was too strong at this time, and Aileshan didn't follow up, but stood there dumbfounded. It happened that Qi Fang came down from the second floor at this time, saw Aileshan standing at the door, smiled and patted his shoulder.

    "Uncle Qi." Aileshan returned to his senses.

    "You boy, is it a mid-game win again? I just made a bet with others upstairs to see if you end the game in the morning again today." Qi Fang laughed.

    "You still bet on this kind of thing."

    "Who made you so powerful, 16 consecutive victories, 16 games are all over in the morning." Qi Fang said.

    "The arbor is also a 16-game winning streak."

    "Although Qiao Mu is also fifteen..." Qi Fang was stunned, if he remembered correctly, today is the sixteenth game, "Qiao Mu won today's game?"

    It is not surprising that Qiao Mu will win the game, but in fifteen consecutive games, Qiao Mu has never finished the game in the morning. They were so cautious in the knockout rounds, but they were aggressive in how to enter the round robin. And he remembered that Qiao Mu's opponent today was a dashing boy named Shen Sicong. He was quite good at chess and was one of the seed players this year.

    "Well, he just left." Aileshan nodded.

    Qi Fang turned around and walked into the stadium. He quickly walked to Shen Sicong, who was still reviewing the game. He glanced at the pieces on the chessboard and guessed the order of each move.

    Aileshan also followed Qi Fang in, he was always curious about Qiao Mu's chess. It's just that Qiao Mu's previous chess games had no value to watch, and he didn't pay much attention to it after that. But today's game is different. In the first game of the round-robin match, the opponent is a seed player again, and Qiao Mu won the middle game. He must have shown his true skills.

    "Director Qi, Aileshan?" Shen Sicong looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.

    One is the organizer of the fixed stage competition, and the other is this year's favorite to win the championship. Why do you suddenly care about your own chess?

    No, they lost, they care about the trees. But who is Qiaomu, and why does it attract the attention of these two?

    "Is this his original chess style?" Aileshan muttered.

      Heizi in the middle tried to counterattack, but Baizi had anticipated it a dozen times before, and stayed trapped there and waited.

    "No, this is not his style of chess." Qi Fang raised his head and asked Shen Sicong, "Did you offend him?"

    From the previous fifteen chess games, Qi Fang can see that Qiao Mu's chess style has not changed much. Qiao Mu has a delicate mind and likes to plan and plan when playing chess. He likes to observe the opponent's chess path in the early stage, plan in the middle game, and exert his strength in the back game. Such a wide-ranging move, showing murderous intent from the start, is really not his style.

    "Huh?" Shen Sicong was stunned.

    "Arbor." Qi Fang reminded.

    "I... approached his girlfriend, okay?" Today's set is almost a replica of a year ago.

    Isn't it just asking for a WeChat account from your girlfriend, it hasn't arrived yet, as for the revenge until now?

    "Of course, this is a big hatred, I will kill you too." It was Aileshan who answered him.

    "..." Shen Sicong's mentality is about to collapse.
