MTL - An Impossible to Reject Confession-Chapter 11 Chess doesn't lie
Monday.
Bloody, as soon as you enter the classroom, it gives people a bright feeling.
In the early days of self-study, Qiao Mu even saw many male classmates secretly looking at Xu Youyou. In this regard, Xu Youyou seemed to be unaware and still fell asleep lazily.
The second class in the morning was the head teacher's math class. As soon as Teacher Song entered the door, she saw Xu Youyou who was refreshed and called her to the office after class. After some care, he began to urge Xu Youyou to study.
In this regard, Xu Youyou is actually mentally prepared. Since she was reborn in the first year of high school, she must go to high school again. Moreover, after confirming that her body was recovering well, the head teacher greeted the teachers of various subjects again, and Xu Youyou couldn't sleep well in class after that.
Fortunately, Ms. Ji and the head teacher did not have much expectations for her grades. As long as Xu Youyou has a good attitude, the pressure is not too great.
After another week passed, Xu Youyou actually got used to it slowly. After all, she is a sixteen-year-old body, her memory and learning ability are much stronger than her twenty-six-year-old, many knowledge points After reading it a few times, or listening to it a few times, I slowly understood it, and even occasionally recalled the knowledge points I had learned before.
"Qiaomu, is grandma at home tomorrow?" After school on Friday, Xu Youyou asked Qiaomu while packing her schoolbag.
Qiao Mu looked at Xu Youyou in surprise.
"Grandma Qiao helped me pass by and invited me to eat delicious food. I prepared a gift and gave it to grandma on weekends." Xu Youyou explained.
"You're welcome." Qiaomu refused.
"It's not for you, what are you polite?"
"..." Qiao Mu pursed his lips, but he couldn't find anything to refute for a while.
Qiao Mu is speechless, emotional gifts are fake, but rubbing rice is real.
However, if she went, grandma would be happy. Thinking of this, Qiao Mu did not stop her, and started to walk out with her schoolbag on her back.
"That's Li Xiuran, the school grass of No. 1 Middle School."
"It's the first time I've seen a real person. He really has an ancient feeling about him, and he looks so immortal."
"I heard that he not only has good grades, but also plays Go well. It is very likely that he will participate in the fixed stage competition this year."
"What is a fixed stage?"
"As long as you are successful in setting the dan, you will be a professional Go player in the future, and you will not need to take the college entrance examination."
"I don't need to take the college entrance examination, so good?"
"Then why did he come to our school?"
Seeing that Qiao Mu didn't respond, Xu Youyou didn't say anything. She just glanced in the direction of Li Xiuran curiously when she left the school.
The school uniforms of No. 1 Middle School are different from those of No. 7 Middle School. The style and tailoring are better than those of No. 7 Middle School. In addition, Li Xiuran himself looks good. At first glance, he is really handsome. Even Xu Youyou had a bright feeling when he saw it.
Although it is not her dish, but everyone has a love for beauty.
Just as Xu Youyou was looking at him, Li Xiuran's eyes suddenly came over, then his eyes brightened, his face showed excitement, and he walked over quickly.
I went, so many people looked at him, why did they come to me?
Just when Xu Youyou suspected that the other party was in love with her at first sight, Li Xiuran directly passed her and stopped Qiao Mu next to her.
"Arbor." Li Xiuran stared at Arbor.
Qiao Mu looked at Li Xiuran indifferently, with no expression on his face.
"Let's play the next game with me." Li Xiuran said straight to the point.
As soon as he said these words, there were exclamations around him, and many people's attention turned to Qiao Mu.
"Who is this person, Li Xiuran is looking for him to play chess?"
"No, our school doesn't even have a Go club."
Qiao Mu frowned, and seemed very uncomfortable with this kind of attention: "I don't play Go anymore."
"Didn't you just hang out with Liu Wenbin last week?" Li Xiuran said.
"That's a special case."
"Qiao Mu, don't deceive yourself, chess manuals can speak, was your chess game played by someone who gave up Go?" Li Xiuran said, "You start from the opening, and Liu Wenbin plays the first game. In one chess move, even if you have reached his last move, you will press down step by step until all his paths are blocked. Can someone who has not played Go for six years do it?”
Qiao Mu's face turned pale, and he pursed his lips and did not speak.
Xu Youyou looked at such a tree and suddenly remembered the chess book she picked up from the ground last Friday. Li Xiuran was right, Qiao Mu did not give up Go, at least he was secretly practicing.
"You lied to others, but you can't lie to me. We learned Go together since we were young. Don't I know what level you are?" Li Xiuran took a deep breath and said slowly, "I want to participate. This year's fixed stage competition, you know, my parents have never supported me to learn Go, so they always disagreed with me dropping out of school to specialize in Go. This fixed stage competition is something I won with great difficulty, and if I can't pass the first time, I will give up Go and test the university honestly."
"Qiao Mu, this fixed stage match is very important to me, so I want to have the next match with you." Li Xiuran said.
Qiao Mu was silent for a while, just when Xu Youyou thought he couldn't speak, Qiao Mu suddenly said: "Fighting with me doesn't mean anything, I didn't pass the fixed stage competition."
"But I've never beaten you." Li Xiuran said, "If I can't even win against you, how can I have the confidence to participate in the fixed stage competition."
Qiao Mu frowned, with disapproval in his eyes.
"You can go with Liu Wenbin, why can't you go with me? Can't I compare to Liu Wenbin?" Li Xiuran was a little unhappy, "Do you have to wait for my grandmother to get sick next time, learn Does Liu Wenbin stimulate her old man as well?"
Qiao Mu suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of warning.
"I don't want that either, so don't force me." Li Xiuran said.
Qiao Mu was persuaded, and he did not object when Li Xiuran proposed to find a place to play chess. The most suitable place to play chess in Hongluo Town is of course the dojo. Occasionally, there are elderly people who like to play chess in roadside parks or teahouses. However, Hongluo Town is not a big place, and most of the older generation know each other. Qiao Mu didn’t want to be discovered by his grandmother. In the end, the two decided to find a hotel nearby to open a room, and then go to the dojo to borrow a pair of Go.
The corner of Xu Youyou's mouth twitched when she heard it, and she said, "Then why bother, my family has a shop on the main street, and there are Go games kept by my grandfather in it."
Li Xiuran didn't know Xu Youyou, but seeing that she came out with Qiaomu and followed them all the way, he naturally thought that Xu Youyou and Qiaomu were good friends, so he agreed: "Alright. , then trouble you."
Qiao Mu did not want to delay this matter, so he agreed.
The three took the bus to the main street together, and Xu Youyou led the way to her own pottery museum.
The pottery art museum is not far from the dojo, Li Xiuran recognized it as soon as he arrived at the door: "This is the pottery art museum opened by Grandpa Ji. Is Grandpa Ji your grandfather?"
Qiao Mu learned chess at Hongluo Daochang when he was a child. Naturally, he also knew Grandpa Xu Youyou. Thinking of this, he retreated a little: "Is Grandpa Ji in the store?"
"Don't worry, my grandfather and grandma traveled around the world, and won't be back in half a year." Xu Youyou said.
Qiao Mu then walked in.
Seeing that her daughter came back with two boys of the same age, Ji Leyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes swept across the faces of the two, and then she settled on Li Xiuran.
"Hello Auntie." Qiao Mu and Li Xiuran greeted Ji Leyao politely.
"Hello, how are you, are you your classmates?" Ji Leyao asked.
"Mom, don't you look at school uniforms?" Xu Youyou focused on Qiaomu, "This is Qiaomu, the other is Qiaomu's friend, from No. 1 Middle School."
When Ji Leyao heard Qiaomu's name, her attitude immediately became enthusiastic: "You are Qiaomu. Auntie has always wanted to see you. I heard Youyou said that you have always taken good care of her."
Qiao Mu is the worst at dealing with the enthusiasm of others, and suddenly froze in place and didn’t know how to react. Fortunately, Xu Youyou also understood Qiao Mu’s character during this period of time, and hurriedly interrupted: " Mom, didn't you say that my grandfather has a pair of Go? Where is it?"
"It's in the closet, what are you doing with Go?" Ji Leyao asked.
"They both want to play chess, so I brought them here."
When Ji Leyao heard that her daughter brought it here, she hurriedly went back and found the chessboard and Go and handed it to Xu Youyou: "Then you go to the window, it's quiet there."
Xu Youyou took the chessboard and put it into Qiaomu's hand.
Qiao Mu suddenly caught the chessboard, the whole person was a little dazed, but subconsciously hugged tightly, his eyes fixed on the chessboard for a long time and could not move away. He once had a chessboard like this, but it was chopped up by his grandmother and burned as firewood six years ago.
"This chessboard is quite heavy." Xu Youyou shook her hand.
"This is solid wood, it must be heavy." Li Xiuran said.
"Go in by yourself, I'll get you something to eat." Xu Youyou said.
"Don't bother." Li Xiuran said politely.
Xu Youyou waved her hand and ignored him, and went to get food on her own.
Li Xiuran turned around, seeing Qiao Mu's eyes still on the chessboard, his eyes full of nostalgia: "I remember that you used to like to clean the chessboard."
Qiao Mu returned to his senses, glanced at Li Xiuran, and walked inside holding the chessboard.
The two took off their schoolbags and sat down by the window. One of them took a chess basket and put it in his hand. Qiao Mu habitually raised his hand to touch the chessboard, and immediately touched the dust on his hand.
Seeing this, Li Xiuran picked up a rag from the side and handed it over.
The tree missed.
Li Xiuran didn't mind, and wiped the chessboard with a rag.
"Just the next round." Qiao Mu said.
"Let's talk after playing." Li Xiuran uncovered the chess basket in his hand, it happened to be black, he picked up one and landed it on the board, "I play black."
Qiao Mu's hand froze when he was about to grab the first, and then let go, and only took a white stone and placed it on the chessboard.
