An Impossible to Reject Confession - Chapter 22

    Qiao Mu did not continue to participate in the national competition after winning the provincial championship, because the time of the national competition collided with the final exam of No. 7 Middle School. He participated in this amateur Go competition in order to get the quota for the fixed-stage competition next year. Now that he has won it, it doesn’t matter whether he goes to the national competition or not. However, Xu Youyou was a pity for a while, thinking about the prize money of the national competition.

    Qiao Mu laughed for a while: “The national competition is different from the prefecture-level competition. Even if it is an amateur Go, there will be very good players at the national stage, and I may not win.”

      You can hear it in the description. Six years ago, if Qiao Mu was not mentally strong enough and fainted because of nervousness, he was already a professional Go player six years ago, so Qiao Mu’s chess skills should be equivalent to that of a professional Go player.

    “There are still many masters in the amateur circle, and not everyone will become a professional Go player when their chess skills reach a professional level.” Qiao Mu explained.

    “Why not?” Xu Youyou was puzzled.

    “There are many reasons, such as passing the exam age, for example, although the chess skills are good, but do not want to use it as a career, or, some people who are not very good in the professional circle will also Take the initiative to give up your identity as a professional Go player.” Qiao Mu said.

    “What are you talking about?” Lu Shi came out of the canteen, bought a row of Yakult, and each handed a bottle.

    “Thank you.” As Xu Youyou took it and was about to open it, Qiao Mu suddenly grabbed the bottle.

    “What are you doing?” Xu Youyou stared at her, why were you robbing her.

    “Pfft!” Lu Shi squirted out a mouthful of Yakult, looking at the two of them furtively. It’s cold, you can’t drink it, this is a standard line from my girlfriend’s aunt. What happened in the past two months? How could my cousin even remember the days of Aunt Xu Youyou’s life, and he managed so confidently.

    Xu Youyou snorted.

    “I’ll go in and buy you a hot bottle.” After saying that, Qiao Mu turned around and entered the canteen. After a while, he bought a bottle of hot drink and handed it to Xu Youyou.

    “Thank you.”

    “Let’s go.”

    The three walked out of the school together, continuing the topic as they walked.

    “You haven’t told me yet, why do professional chess players give up their identity as professional chess players.” Yes, I finally passed it, so why give up?

      Participate in amateur Go competitions, so many professional players who cannot play will choose to give up their status as professional players.”

    In all walks of life, only a small number of people can really achieve something, and the same is true of Go.

    “To be honest, I really don’t think there is anything good about Go.” Lu Shi couldn’t help but answer, “It’s hard to learn, boring, and it doesn’t make money. What are you trying to do?”

    Xu Youyou is speechless, can this person speak? Qiao Mu finally mustered up the courage to start playing Go again. If you don’t encourage it, forget it and pour cold water.

    “You think it’s boring because you don’t like it. For those who like Go, Go must be interesting, right?” Xu Youyou asked Qiao Mu.

    Qiao Mu smiled and hummed. He played Go since he was a child, and only felt that every game of chess was infinitely mysterious.

    Lu Shi turned his head and rolled his eyes: What do you say?

    “Are you going to the sea market this winter vacation?” Xu Youyou thought of what Qiao Mu had mentioned to him before.

    “Yes, Lu Shi was filming in Haishi. The climate in Haishi is warm and suitable for winter. My uncle wanted my grandmother to come and come back after the New Year.” Qiao Mu explained.

    Lu Shi rolled his eyes and looked at Xu Youyou: “Didn’t you just return to China? Would you like to come to the sea market too, and pack food and food.”

    Qiao Mu’s heart moved, and he looked at Xu Youyou with expectation.

    “No, my mother is at home alone, I have to accompany her.” If only Lu Shi and Qiao Mu went to the sea market, Xu Youyou might play with the past for a few days, but the family is obviously a family Activities, it is not suitable for her to go as an outsider at this time. What’s more, the New Year is coming soon.

    The Spring Festival is of special significance to the Chinese. Although the Xu family settled in country Y very early, important traditional festivals will still be synchronized with the country. So Xu Youyou is no stranger to the Spring Festival.

    The tourism industry in the ancient town ushered in another climax during the Spring Festival. In order to cooperate with the Golden Week, the ancient town government specially held a shop meeting and instructed the shops on the main street not to close during the festival. So throughout the Spring Festival, Xu Youyou spent almost every day in the pottery museum.

    After the Spring Festival, it is the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.

    Ji Leyao brought in two bowls of Yuanxiao from the stall next door: “Would you like to go out for a walk?”

    “No, there are too many people.” Xu Youyou shook her head.

    “When will Qiao Mu come back?” Ms. Ji asked.

    “It should only be two days, and the school will start soon.”

    “You didn’t ask?”

    “I haven’t contacted him recently. I only heard him say that he will be back around the Lantern Festival.” Xu Youyou said.

    “Are you having trouble?” Ms. Ji worried.

    “Did you not call every day during the Chinese New Year?” The frequent calls were high, and Ms. Ji had directly designated Qiao Mu as her daughter’s little boyfriend. At that time, she was still very entangled. Although Qiao Mu’s facial features were good, he would be a handsome young man after losing weight, but after all, he was not thin. As long as he’s not thin, he’s still a little fat man. Although his image is still cute, he doesn’t match his daughter very well.

    At the beginning of the winter vacation, when the cold attacked at night, Xu Youyou was going crazy, and she wished she could buy a ticket on the spot to fly to the sea market. In order not to be troubled by cold symptoms, Xu Youyou would start calling Qiao Mu as soon as she felt her body was getting cold, and she didn’t stop talking until her body was warm again.

    Xu Youyou asked Qiaomu why she had insomnia, Qiaomu said that it was to prepare for the fixed stage competition in the coming year, so she practiced chess all day, and practiced too much . She listened to it at the time, her eyes were dark, and she lost sleep like this before the game. After that, she can still get it after the game? Even if he passes a certain stage of the competition, Qiao Mu becomes a professional chess player, and he will practice chess every day from now on, so he won’t want to sleep peacefully in his life.

     Fortunately, Qiaomu’s insomnia only lasted for half a month, otherwise Xu Youyou felt like she was going crazy.

     With a “ding”, the phone on the table rang.

    Xu Youyou picked it up and took a look, it was a message from Qiaomu: [Happy Lantern Festival, our plane is back tonight. 】

    Xu Youyou smiled and said a happy Lantern Festival, then raised her head and said to Ms. Ji, “Qiao Mu will be back tonight.”

    Ms. Ji saw that her daughter did not quarrel with Qiaomu, so she did not ask any more questions, and continued to work after eating the Lantern Festival.

    Maritime.

    Qiao Mu sent a WeChat message to Xu Youyou, got up and came out of the room. In the living room, Lu Shi was discussing with his agent about things after school started.

    “Qiao Mu, are you going out?” Lu Shi asked.

    “Well, go down and buy something.” Qiao Mu nodded.

    “Then hurry up, the car to pick us up will be here in an hour.” They flew back to J City at night and set off in about an hour.

    “I’ll go down and buy something, and I’ll be up in a while.” Qiao Mu pushed open the door and went out.

    Lu Shi’s manager is a fashionable beauty in her twenties. Ever since Qiao Mu walked out of the room, her eyes have been fixed on Qiao Mu. Lu Shi turned around and saw that his agent looked like an idiot. He was not angry: “Sister Xing, the handsome guy is here, where are you looking.”

     Ah, I really didn’t see him when he was fat, but he can be so good-looking when he is thin. Hey, ask him again if he is interested in joining the circle, and I will take him personally.”

    Qiao Mu lost a full 23 kilograms during the winter vacation, and her height has also increased a lot. Now she is only two centimeters shorter than Lu Shi, and has grown to 178 centimeters. The originally sturdy body was transformed into a slender and straight, and the outline of the face seemed to be pulled apart in an instant, revealing the delicate facial features with sharp edges and corners. Like a pearl covered in mud, it was finally washed away by the heavy rain, and it was dazzling and fascinated.

      Hear this? Even if Qiao Mu is his cousin.

    Sister Xing looked at Lu Shi for a few seconds, and slowly spit out two words: “Temperament.”

    Lu Shi held his breath in his throat and almost passed out.

      big?”

    “…” Lu Shi.

    Is it my fault that I am bright and cheerful?

    Lu Shi was angry: “What do you mean, it’s like I deliberately don’t let Qiao Mu enter the circle. How many times have I told you, Qiao Mu is introverted and doesn’t like the entertainment circle, he His life is very simple, he only likes Go and calligraphy. My grandma would not agree with him to enter the entertainment industry, he can’t handle it. Moreover, as a star idol, he has a fatal injury.”

    “What?” Sister Xing asked curiously.

    “Puppy love.” Puppy love is a taboo for idols.

    “What, you didn’t talk about it, why did he talk about it?” Sister Xing was shocked.

    “…” Just speak, can you please avoid personal attacks.

    “Inspirational and affectionate, I like it.”

    “…” Lu Shi.

     “By the way, I remember that he has been helping you make up lessons during the winter vacation. He is still a real scholar.” The more I think about it, the more satisfied I am.

    “…” Lu Shi.
