Liyuan Qianxia has experienced far more than ordinary people, so she understands better how much a person's knowledge level, vision, and state of mind affect his future Go career.Maybe you can't see it at first, but the higher you get to the top of the pyramid, the easier it is to feel that layer of barriers.

This is also the truth why there are always so few chess players at the top of the pyramid.

Therefore, even if she chose to become a professional chess player, Li Yuan Qianxia did not intend to give up her studies.

Since admitting her identity to Shinto Hikaru, Liyuan Qianxia would go to the Zishui Go Salon to play chess with him and Toya Ryo from time to time, and later became a college student, and the time spent on studying was greatly reduced.So in the evening, she spends most of her time studying, and she basically knows all other high school knowledge, mainly focusing on Mandarin.

Counting carefully, she has not logged on to the World Go website and played Go for a while.Liyuan Qianxia got bored of reading this day, so she turned on the computer and prepared to play Go to relax.

Subconsciously flipped through the online list, there was no name hikaru in it, Liyuan Chinatsu was a little disappointed.But then her eyes stopped on another somewhat familiar id, the corner of her mouth curled up, and she clicked on the game invitation to send it over.

The opponent accepted the game in less than two seconds, and Liyuan Qianxia killed the game happily, and she really felt a lot more relaxed.After stretching his waist and exercising his muscles, he saw the message from the other party.

Zelda: "Long time no see!"

Zelda: "Aren't you very busy recently, I haven't seen you online yet!"

Zelda: "Oh, yes, I'm sorry, I forgot that you are Chinese and can't understand Japanese!"

Zelda: "Wait a minute, you have to wait! It only takes one minute, no, half a minute! I'll go find a translation software!"

Liyuan Qianxia, ​​"..." Boy, if she really can't understand Japanese, does it make sense for you to post such a paragraph?

Should it be said that he is indeed a friend of Hikari Shinto?It's the same... stupid and cute!

Sure enough, the boy on the opposite side came back soon. This time, Chinese characters appeared in the dialog box, but the subject, verb and object were inconsistent, so it was not difficult to understand the meaning.

He asked her why she hadn't been online for so long, and then asked himself and answered that she must be very busy with work.Liyuan Qianxia looked at him asking and answering himself with joy, and was a little speechless: Young man, is it really okay for you to be so talkative?

Scorching sun: ...

zelda: So you are here? !

Liyuan Qianxia, ​​"..." Thinking that she's not here are you making a fool of yourself?

Scorching Sun: Hehe.

After Liyuan Qianxia sent this meaningful sentence, she decisively closed the dialog box. She was really looking forward to He Gu's expression after knowing that she was "Scorching Sun".

After clicking on the game invitation that popped up, Li Yuan Qianxia's phone on the desk rang, and she took it over to see that it was Shinto.

"Hey, Shinto."

"Xia, did you disturb your rest?"

"Ah, you know that I go to bed at 11:30 every night, is it interesting to ask?"

Hikari Shindo, who was lying on the bed, laughed dryly, and said in his heart: I am afraid that you will find it annoying to call you every day?

At this moment, he heard a familiar sound coming from the phone, Shinto Hikaru quickly changed the subject, "Natsu, are you playing chess online?"

The opponent's strength is mediocre, and Liyuan Qianxia is focused on two things, "Well, why are you not online? I saw you every time I went online before."

"Oh, that, actually, I don't often play online Go. During that time, I went online every day to wait for you. Now you have appeared." Shindo Hikari said as a matter of course.

Liyuan Qianxia on the other end of the phone paused for breath, then said nonchalantly, "Oh."

Shinto Hikari had long been used to her indifferent reaction, and he said enthusiastically, "Xia, the young lion competition is scheduled to start this Saturday, but the match schedule hasn't come out yet, I really hope that the opponent in the first round is you! "

Liyuan Qianxia poured cold water on him, "If I remember correctly, the young lion competition is a knockout round, right? Do you want to be eliminated in the first round?"

Shinto Hikaru choked for a moment, and burst into tears when he thought of the strength gap between the two.

Before the middle game, the opponent on the other side of the computer gave up. Liyuan Qianxia didn't enjoy playing, so she said to the person on the phone, "Shinto, you go online, let's play the next game!"

Hearing this, Shinto Hikari, who was still in tears just a moment ago, was full of blood, got up from the bed and turned on the computer.

The next day, Liyuan Qianxia came home from school, and Tezuka's mother told her that there was a courier from Kiin.She probably knew what was inside, and when she opened it, she found that it was the specific time, place and game schedule of the young lion competition.

The Young Lions Tournament is a knockout competition. The contestants are [-] college students and [-] young professional chess players. There are five rounds in total.

The game started at 09:30 in the morning, Liyuan Qianxia went out, and Shinto Hikari was already waiting there.

Seeing her, the boy's eyes lit up, "Xia, good morning!"

In the morning of early summer, perhaps the sun was too bright, for a moment Liyuan Qianxia was dazzled by Shinto Hikari's bright eyes.

"Good morning, Shinto." Liyuan Qianxia didn't even know that the tenderness in her eyes was so real at this moment, from the heart.

For today's young lion competition, the game room arranged by the Chess Academy was on the second floor. It was exactly nine o'clock when the two arrived together, and many people had already come inside.

"Shinto! Here!"

Just when he stood still, he heard someone calling. Hikari Shinto and Qianxia Liyuan looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and saw Yoshitaka Hegu waving excitedly towards them. A young man standing next to him silently covered his face. Moved a step aside.

Liyuan Qianxia noticed this detail and couldn't help laughing.

"Xia, let's go there. Senior Hegu and Yijiao are there! Senior Yijiao is the one I told you about the exchange with the Chinese Chess Academy. You don't know him yet, do you? Let me introduce you!" said subconsciously He took Li Yuan Qianxia's hand and walked quickly over there.

Liyuan Qianxia moved her hand a bit, but she couldn't break free in the end.

"Ri, Liyuan?! Why are you here too? I just saw you with Shinto, I still can't believe it..." Yoshitaka Hegu looked at Liyuan Qianxia who came with Shinto Hikari in surprise, his eyes fell on When she wore the rice-and-white flower on her chest, which represented the courtyard students, her jaw almost dropped, "You, you, you are the courtyard students?!"

Liyuan Qianxia smiled and nodded, "Yes."

He Gu Yigao closed his chin and complained dissatisfiedly, "Then why didn't you tell me last time? Shinto didn't tell me, I was so surprised!"

Hikari Shinto, who was shot while lying down, laughed dryly: It's not that I don't want to say it, it's Xia who doesn't want to say it...

Liyuan Qianxia blinked her eyes with an innocent expression, "Because I was not a college student when I met you last time."

At this moment, Shinichiro Ikaku interrupted, "...that, who is this?" As he said, his eyes drifted suspiciously past the hands they held.

Following his line of sight, Shinto Hikaru suddenly realized something, let go of his hand abruptly, and stammered to Liyuan Qianxia with a blushing face, "I, I, I, I didn't mean it..."

Kazuya Yoshitaka was so nervous that he didn't notice the scene just now, he just felt that Shinto had another convulsion for no reason.

Shinichiro Ikaku raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Shinto Hikari and then at Liyuan Chinatsu.

Liyuan Qianxia glanced at Shindo Hikari, without saying a word, turned her head and nodded to Shinichiro Ikaku with a normal expression, "It's the first time to meet you, my name is Liyuan Qianxia, ​​and I am currently a student at a famous school. Please take care of me in the future."

"Ah, my name is Shinichiro Ikaku, a professional second-dan player."

"Shinto, Liyuan-san, good morning!" At this moment, Taya Ryo, who was wearing a light purple suit, came over.

"Taya-kun, good morning." Liyuan Qianxia nodded to him.

With her keen five senses, she felt that from the moment Taya Ryo appeared, the atmosphere in the entire game room suddenly stagnated.The voices of the people who were just chatting in twos and threes suddenly became much quieter, and all kinds of unclear eyes focused on this straight boy.

Ta Yaliang is an outstanding young chess player. Li Yuan Qianxia learned from "Go Weekly" that since he entered the chess world, he has been the champion of the Young Lions Tournament for three consecutive years. It is no wonder that so many people pay attention to him .

Ta Yaliang politely nodded to them, and finally his eyes fell on Liyuan Qianxia's face, he frowned slightly, and said with some regret, "Liyuan-san, it's a pity that I can't play against you sooner, according to According to the arrangement of the Chess Academy, our game will have to wait until the fourth round of the semi-finals."

Liyuan Qianxia looked at him half-closed, "It's a pity, it seems that you won't be able to get the fourth young lion championship trophy."

Taya Liang stared, "Ah, just come on, I will wait for you in the fourth semi-final!" After saying this sentence, which was like declaring war, he walked away resolutely.

Liyuan Qianxia regained her mind and found that at this moment, the entire game room was quiet and needles could be heard, and everyone was looking at her with extremely strange and complicated eyes.

Kazuya Yoshitaka, who had always been a little uncomfortable watching Toya Ryo, didn't notice any abnormality in the atmosphere. He clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Ahaha, Liyuan, your declaration just now was too domineering! Down with Toya Ryo!"

Next to him, Shinichiro Ikaku gave him a speechless sideways glance. He really didn't want to admit that such a stupid person was his friend: Ryo Taya took the initiative to declare war on her, which seemed to mean that she was sure that she would make it to the fourth round of semi-finals. Isn't the point of attention? Do you want to know the strength of this Liyuan sang?

Holding Liyuan Qianxia's hand just now was purely an instinctive reaction, and there was no other meaning at all.After reacting, Shindo Hikaru was afraid that she would be angry, so he hurriedly explained, but found that she seemed... didn't mind?

Does this mean that at least Xia doesn't hate him?

Thinking about it this way, Shindo Hikaru felt a little flustered, and even Taya Ryo just greeted him with a silly smile.

"Jin Teng, hey, Jin Teng, what are you giggling about?" He Gu Yigao called out twice but got no response, so angrily he reached out his hand to hook his neck and pinch him down.

"Ahem, let go, let go..."

Liyuan Qianxia and Ijiao Shinichiro looked at the two bastards who were pinching each other in the crowd, looked at each other, and took two steps away silently, pretending that they didn't know these two people... It's really embarrassing, okay?

Fortunately, at this time, the teacher of the Chess Academy on the stage began to audition, which meant that the game was about to start, and the two bastards stopped.

At the same time, at the gate of the Chess Academy, the eyes of two high-level chess players who met unexpectedly met, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
