An Impossible to Reject Confession - Chapter 46
The relationship between Qiao Mu and Qiao Dongyuan is no secret. As Qiao Mu’s first opponent after stepping into the professional circle, if there is no black box operation in the middle, no one will believe it.
Qi Fang admitted that he did operate behind the scenes. Anyway, Mr. Qiao has such a big wrist. If he doesn’t agree with him, even a little director can’t operate it even if he wants to.
This is just a guide game, and it has nothing to do with rankings, so even if outsiders guess there is something tricky, no one will say anything. What’s more, people in the circle actually know in their hearts that Qiao Dongyuan would not have come back to participate in this kind of coaching competition if it wasn’t for the presence of Qiao Mu in the early stages of this session.
In order to participate in this game, Qiao Dongyuan pushed two foreign events.
For this game, both inside and outside the circle, as long as people who know about this game are looking forward to it, and the only person who doesn’t look forward to it is about Qiao Mu. From receiving the news to entering the venue, Qiao Mu always had a cold face. But the people around don’t seem to think so.
“Qiaomu, don’t be nervous, play well.” Qi Fang is familiar with Qiaomu, but he is familiar with the Qiaomu seven years ago. A child in front of his own father. That little arbor who still has the feelings of admiration and looks forward to his father’s love.
But only he himself knew that he cut off all of this and stood up again.
“I’m not nervous.” Qiao Mu replied calmly.
Qi Fang only thought that the young man was pretending to be calm, looked up at the time, and reminded: “It’s almost time to go in.”
In this kind of competition, the newcomer always enters and waits earlier than the seniors, otherwise it will be very rude. Although Qiao Mu didn’t like seeing Qiao Dongyuan much, he didn’t plan to do anything special, but just as he was about to put down his phone and get up, the phone suddenly rang.
Qiao Mu glanced at him and stopped suddenly.
YOYO: [Has the game started? 】
Arbor: [Preparing to enter. 】
YOYO: [Break him! ] followed by a crazy beating animation.
Qiao Mu couldn’t help laughing, and replied: [I really want to, but my strength probably won’t allow it. 】
YOYO: [You can’t lose in momentum. 】
Arbor: [Good. 】
“Qiao Mu, it’s almost time?” Qi Fang couldn’t help urging. The assistant told him just now that Teacher Qiao had already left, and if Qiao Mu didn’t go, it would be too late.
“Wait, I’ll reply with a message.” Qiao Mu lowered his head and continued to send a message to Xu Youyou.
Qiaomu: [I have to enter. 】
YOYO: [Break him! 】
Can’t you lose in momentum?
Qiao Mu shut down, got up and handed the phone to Qi Fang: “Please help me put the phone away.”
The two walked quickly, but when they reached the room, Qiao Dongyuan was already waiting inside. The moment the door was pushed open, everyone’s eyes fell on Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu calmly stepped in and apologized to everyone: “Sorry, I’m late.”
Qiao Dongyuan frowned, his expression not looking very good.
Ai Leshan, who followed to record the chess score, was very smart and rounded the field: “It’s okay, it’s not time for the game yet.”
“Sit down first.” Qiao Dongyuan finally spoke.
Qiao Mu said nothing, walked to the table and sat on the ground of Qiao Dongyuan.
“What, it’s almost time, let’s start.” Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Qi Fang announced the start of the game.
This game of chess Qiaomu played very well, and there was no mistake due to nervousness or excitement. He didn’t even say a word during the whole process. He was like this, and so was Qiao Dongyuan. There is no suspense in the outcome of this game of chess, Qiao Mu loses, and after losing the game is the real meaning of this game of guiding chess. The winning side will review the opponent’s game in detail and provide guidance.
This is a valuable master class for a beginner in the professional circle.
“You play the game of chess well in general, very calm, and have ideas. There are a few traps that are very cleverly designed, but they are not well hidden…” Qiao Dongyuan finally began to speak, he was very He was patient and explained in great detail. The detailed review, which could have ended in half an hour, took a full hour. Almost every mistake and highlight of Qiaomu in the game has been evaluated.
Aileshan is already Qiao Dongyuan’s apprentice, and he can hear that there is a rare tenderness in his master’s guidance. Is he trying to please Qiaomu?
Aileshan distracted and glanced at Qiaomu, but Qiaomu had no expression, but at the end of the review, he expressed his gratitude: “Thank you, Teacher Qiao, for his guidance, which has benefited me a lot.”
Mr. Joe? !
As soon as the name Qiaomu came out, everyone in the room was shocked.
Qiao Dongyuan’s original gentle expression was also stiff, but he didn’t say anything, and even gave a soft hum.
The atmosphere became weird again, Qi Fang could only bite the bullet and appear again: “What, it happens to be lunch time, let’s go out to eat together.”
Aileshan responded.
Qiao Dongyuan did not object.
“Sorry, I still have something to do, let’s go eat.” Qiao Mu got up and stretched out his hand towards Qi Fang.
Qi Fang understood and returned the mobile phone that Qiaomu had given him for safekeeping, but he couldn’t help but persuaded: “If it’s not urgent, how about going after dinner? ?”
“No.” While pressing the power button, Qiao Mu turned around and said goodbye to the people in the room, “I’ll go first.”
After he finished speaking, he pushed the door and walked out by himself, and the footsteps disappeared after a while.
Everyone looked at Qiao Dongyuan, only to see him with a gloomy face, and the fingers holding the folding fan had faintly turned white.
“Qiao Mu is in a fit of anger. It has not been easy for him these years, and it is normal to have anger in his heart.” Qi Fang advised.
Qiao Dongyuan didn’t respond much to Qi Fang’s words. When they play Go, you can see a person’s character by watching the game. In this game of chess, Qiao Mu played very smoothly, but he was a little impatient and excited. He could clearly perceive that Qiao Mu did not treat him much differently from treating a stranger, or even worse than a stranger. If it was Lao Ai who played against him today, he might be a little more excited.
It is irreparable after all, he is like this, so is Qiao Mu’s mother.
A week later, Qiaomu entered the national team as a substitute, and Xu Youyou also started the second semester of high school.
The training of the national team was very hard and intensive, and Qiao Mu could only call Xu Youyou at night. Xu Youyou and Qiao Mu talked about things in the school, saying that after he left, class 18 lost him as a scholar, and the class ranking dropped three places, which made the head teacher very angry, and recently they have been very strict in their schoolwork. . It is said that Lu Shi was recognized by fans on the main street of the ancient town when he was delivering cakes to him, and was directly blocked for three hours.
Compared to Xu Youyou, Qiaomu’s life in the national team is much more monotonous. In addition to playing chess every day, he also plays chess, and then there is a psychological evaluation twice a month. Qiao Mu’s chess strength has risen rapidly. Although he is still a substitute, few of the official chess players of the national team have been able to play against him. Because he has too little experience in competitions, Coach Yao took the opportunity to send him out to compete. In half a year, he participated in almost all domestic competitions. The prize money for the competition, I have unknowingly saved nearly 500,000.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the national team started closed training for the next Go World Championship. Xu Youyou also officially entered the hard-fought third year of high school, watching the countdown to the college entrance examination on the blackboard newspaper every day, and doing endless papers. Even Hongluo No. 7 Middle School, which aims at quality education, cannot avoid the torrent of internal examination papers in the end.
At the end of the closed training, although Qiao Mu ranked first in the team and despite Coach Yao’s efforts, Qiao Mu was stuck on the bench because of psychological problems and failed to become the main force in the overseas competition . That year, China still lost to R country in the Go game, and only won a silver medal.
In the second semester of high school, when the students in Class 18 were about to learn about depression, several foreign universities that Xu Youyou interviewed for all sent offers one after another. Xu Youyou got out of the bitter sea on the spot and cried directly to Lu Shi.
She called Qiao Mu immediately: “I was accepted by a foreign university.”
“Which one are you planning to go to?” Qiao Mu asked after congratulations.
“I’m still thinking about it.” In the past few years in high school, he has almost become Lu Shi’s exclusive photographer. After earning a lot of extra money, his fame has also gained in the circle. After graduation, he will most likely become a photographer in the circle. The rankings of these schools are also similar, so just choose one.
There is also a school she graduated from in her previous life, and she applied for the same major. If she chooses to study the same major, her college career should be much easier. But learning the same thing seems a little boring.
“Then choose carefully.”
“How about you, are you tired from practicing chess recently?”
“I haven’t practiced chess much recently, I’m doing a psychological evaluation.” Qiao Mu said.
“Does the psychiatrist of the national team have a grudge against you? Don’t you want to give me a gift? It’s in such a good state, and it’s evaluated all day long.”
“How do you know I’m in good shape?” Qiao Mu asked.
“I feel it.” Her cold symptoms have been unbearable for a long time.
“I don’t know why, I think you can really feel it.” Qiao Mu whispered, “It seems that every time I am in a bad state, you always call me in time. Call or send WeChat. Sometimes the response is more timely than my own.”
“Is there?” Xu Youyou felt guilty.
“Yes, remember when I participated in the fixed stage, you came to B city to find me? You said that the red-eye flight was cheap, so you flew over. But I always feel, You should have noticed something. Did I say something was missed when I was on the phone with you?” Qiao Mu said.
“It’s been so long, who still remembers.” Xu Youyou hesitated to change the subject.
I didn’t deny it, I just admitted it in disguise.
“But every time you are here, I will play chess well.” Qiao Mu said again.
“Am I so useful?”
“Useful!” Qiaomu nodded decisively.
“That’s good, if you can participate in this year’s World Championships, I will fly to the scene.”
