An Impossible to Reject Confession

    In the seventeenth game, Qiao Mu met a twenty-six-year-old young man named Shen Heyu.

    In the blink of an eye, the morning passed, and the chess reached the mid-game. One after another, some people got up and went out to eat. Some people who were not hungry would also take this opportunity to go out to rest for a while and relax their minds, but there were also very few who did not leave the table and wanted to finish it in one breath.

    "Are you hungry?" Shen Heyu, who had been silent since the beginning of the game, suddenly opened her mouth.

    "Huh?" Qiao Mu was thinking about the next move when he was suddenly interrupted, a little lost.

     go.

    The opponent left, and Qiaomu couldn't continue to move, so he put the pieces back in the chess basket, and Qiaomu went to the toilet.

    Through the mirror, Qiao Mu could clearly see the beads of sweat on his forehead, he was nervous just now. Although he wasn't nervous enough to get sick, he did start to get nervous. Shen Heyu just asked him if he was hungry? It should be to make him give up the lunch time, and the two of them will finish playing chess together.

     Ready to start?

    In this arena, Qiao Mu has always been mentally prepared that he will meet opponents who make him nervous.

    "Relax, don't be nervous, take a deep breath." This game of chess between him and Shen Heyu has not yet entered the final stage of fighting, if it is just a prelude and he becomes nervous, he will definitely fall ill when the fighting begins of.

    Calm, calm.

      Subconsciously, Qiao Mu wanted to use water to cool himself down, but when the faucet was turned on, the moment his fingers touched the water, the picture of being pressed into the basin and forced to calm down as a child suddenly flashed.

    No, no water, no old ways.

    Qiao Mu turned on the faucet again, the sound of water stopped, and the image flashed in his mind faded a little.

      He is afraid of this feeling of suffocation, but once he wants to calm down, he will take this behavior subconsciously, because whenever he is nervous and afraid, his mother's face and voice will appear in his mind: "Qiaomu, look at you When you play chess, calm down yourself."

    So as long as he is nervous or afraid, he will subconsciously hold his breath until he faints.

    "Don't think about her, you are not playing chess for her anymore." Qiao Mu stared at himself in the mirror and repeated it over and over again, but the sweat on his forehead became more and more dense.

    Hongluo No.7 Middle School.

    Xu Youyou was walking to the cafeteria with her classmates. Halfway through, a chill suddenly came up from the soles of her feet. Xu Youyou's face froze, and the whole person stopped in place.

    "Youyou?" The classmate looked curiously at Xu Youyou who suddenly didn't move.

    "I forgot to take the meal card, you go first." Xu Youyou casually made an excuse.

    "Then use mine." The classmate said generously.

    "No, I'll go back and get it, soon, you go first." After that, Xu Youyou ran back without any explanation.

    After a while, Xu Youyou returned to the classroom. At this time, there was no one in the classroom. Xu Youyou took out her mobile phone and dialed directly.

    Qiao Mu should have encountered a formidable opponent. Only when he is nervous will her cold symptoms recur.

    "Sorry, the number you dialed is off..."

    The phone is unavailable.

    Yes, the mobile phone should be turned off during the game and stored, and can only be taken back after the game is over. That is to say, she has no way to contact Qiao Mu.

    "Qiaomu, come on, don't lose to it." Xu Youyou looked at the position of Qiaomu next door, as if he was sitting there.

    "Xu Youyou, what's wrong with you?" Lu Shi was on his way to the cafeteria when he saw Xu Youyou running back halfway, so he also ran back to check the situation. Who knew that when he came back, he would see Xu Youyou lying on the table with a pale face.

    "It's okay." Xu Youyou replied weakly.

    How could Lu Shi believe it? He raised his hand and probed Xu Youyou's forehead. He almost jumped up when he felt like an ice cube: "What strange disease of yours has happened again, get up, I'll take you to the infirmary."

    "No, it will be fine in a while."

    "No, I promised Qiaomu to take care of you." Xu Youyou's sudden onset of cold symptoms is very strange, there is no sign of the disease, it may be fine one moment, and suddenly the next moment happened. When Qiao Mu left, he specially told Lu Shi to let Lu Shi pay more attention to Xu Youyou's situation. It was also for this reason that Lu Shi came back after finding that Xu Youyou suddenly returned to the classroom.

    City B, Go Club.

    The respiration of trees is getting heavier.

    Qiao Mu, you are not playing chess for her anymore, you are playing chess because you want to play chess, you like Go, playing chess is a happy thing. Think about it, think about something happy.

    Unexpectedly, a picture burst into my mind, squeezing out the face of my mother who was trying to press him into the basin.

    "Qiao Mu, you help me solve this deadly problem, I'll win the lantern."

    "Qiaomu, fight with him, I bet you win."

    "Qiao Mu, look at the phone case, it's our two chess, although it's backgammon, hahaha..."

    The hand that was clinging to the edge of the sink like a pair of pliers slowly loosened, Qiaomu's breathing slowed down, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity.

    In the classroom of Class 18, when Lu Shi was about to force Xu Youyou to go to the infirmary, Xu Youyou suddenly stood up.

    Lu Shi was taken aback: "What are you doing."

    "I seem to be fine." Xu Youyou said.

    "Huh?"

    "Well, I'm fine." Xu Youyou felt it again, and the chill in her body was indeed slowly receding.

    Lu Shi didn't believe it at first, but when he saw Xu Youyou's face, which was as white as the test paper, it was rosy to the naked eye, so he could only call out, "I'm going."

    "What's wrong with your illness, I'm shocked." Lu Shi said speechlessly.

    Xu Youyou smiled and did not explain: "Let's go, let's eat, the cafeteria will be out of food in a while."

    After lunch, the chess players returned to the arena one after another. Shen Heyu came back with a pinch. The first thing he did after he came back was to stare at Qiao Mu's face for a while, and then said: "Adjust it. already?"

    "Yes." Qiao Mu smiled and nodded. He was really nervous in the morning, and he really adjusted at noon, and being seen through by his opponent, there was nothing hard to admit.

    Shen Heyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qiao Mu's eyes with some changes: "Now you seem to be much more confident than in the morning."

    Qiao Mu smiled and said nothing, just raisins, fell to the chessboard.

    At the end of the morning, it was his turn to make a move, so he should start the battle in the afternoon.

    One hour later, the game is over.

    "I lose one son to you." Both of them are masters, so you don't need to count them, Shen Heyu is already at the end before a dozen hands. If the last trap is also seen through by Qiao Mu, he will eventually lose to Qiao Mu Yizi.

    "Concession." Qiao Mu said.

    "It's a good game." Win or lose, Shen Heyu played heartily in this game.

    "Yes." Qiao Mu hasn't been so hearty as a colleague for a long time.

    "Your condition in the afternoon is much better than that in the morning. If you are in this condition in the morning, I will definitely not just lose a child." Shen Heyu said.

    "I have seen your chess." Shen Heyu said again.

    Qiao Mu looked surprised.

    "Don't be surprised, you have won 16 games in a row, and the last one was a seeded player. It's normal for me to study your chess. It's not just me. After entering the loop, everyone will study it in advance. Let's take a look at the opponents in the next match, after all, there are only twenty places." Shen Heyu said.

    The tree made a sound.

    "But you didn't study me."

    Qiao Mu was stiff and didn't know how to answer for a while. Answering yes would seem to ignore the other party. Answering research would be a lie.

    "You didn't just didn't study me, you didn't even study anyone. You didn't chat with anyone here, and didn't inquire about anyone's style of chess. You come on time every day, chess Just leave when you’re done, and arrogantly ignore anyone here, as if none of us are your worthy opponents.”

    "I'm not..." Qiao Mu did not deliberately study other people's chess style, but he was not arrogant enough to ignore anyone, he just concentrated on playing his own chess.

    "Don't deny, your arrogance is unconscious." Shen Heyu continued, "Subjectively you don't despise any opponent, but subconsciously you feel that there is no need to understand the opponent. You are confident. Defeat any enemy you meet, so you never bother to understand. As I said, I have watched your chess, although not all of it, but more than half of it. Every game of your chess is better than the last. Zhou Xiang, your chess skills are getting better with each game. You are improving. No, it is not appropriate to say that you have made progress. After all, no one can improve so much in a short period of time. It should be said that you are becoming more skilled. It should be a student of the dojo, but I inquired about it, you came up in the amateur competition like me, so you should have not played chess for a long time."

    Qiao Mu did not expect that it was just a game of chess, and the other party could see himself so thoroughly.

    "It seems so." Shen Heyu took off her eyes with a smile, and wiped it with the corner of her clothes, "Don't be nervous, I didn't flesh you out online, just normal logical reasoning."

    "I went to register." Qiao Mu got up and walked out.

    Shen Heyu did not leave, he continued to sit at the table, replaying the game just now. Suddenly, a figure came over.

    Shen Heyu looked up, saw the familiar baby-faced boy, and smiled: "I knew you would come."

    Shen Heyu pays so much attention to Qiaomu, not only because of Qiaomu's previous 16-game winning streak, but also because of Aileshan. In the knockout round, Shen Heyu only lost one set, and the one he lost to was Aileshan. After Aileshan finished the game with him, he immediately walked to Qiao Mu's position and stared at Qiao Mu's chess for a long time.

    Aileshan's identity was spread not long after the start of the fixed stage competition. He is the grandson of Ai Lao, a nine-stage chess player, and an internal disciple of Qiao Dongyuan, the first Chinese Go player. The number of people participating in the fixed stage competition is simply a dimensionality reduction blow. If there is a quota for submission in Go, players like Aileshan should be directly submitted as professional players with at least three dan or more.

    The kind of unconscious arrogance that Shen Heyu said to Qiao Mu just now, in addition to Qiao Mu, there is another person, that is Aileshan. Like Qiao Mu, he never studied his opponent's style of chess, except Qiao Mu. The person who can make Aileshan pay attention to it must be the person he regards as his opponent.

    "In the late stage of the mid-game, Qiaomu's chess style became a lot more decisive." Aileshan said, "He improved again."

    "His current chess strength is not your opponent." Shen and Yu said.

    Ai Leshan didn't speak, he could see it himself, to be honest, he was a little disappointed when he saw Qiao Mu's chess for the first time. Teacher Qiao's son, how could his chess skills be so ordinary until Uncle Qi Fang told him about Qiao Mu's past.

    A fallen genius boy who gave up Go for six years.

    "But he is waking up. When he wakes up completely, it will be uncertain." Shen Heyu said.

    "I expect him to wake up." What he wants to win is the completely awakened Arbor.
