[comprehensive] untouchable opponent

Atsushi Kurata has been called a genius since he was a child. He studied horse racing in middle school, and he easily reached a height that others can't match.Later, after he became interested in Go, he turned to learn Go, and it took him only two years to become a professional Go player.

It is also thanks to his simplicity of heart that he has not been praised by the media.Even so, for the title of genius, Kurata Hou felt that he still deserved it, until he faced Li Yuan Qianxia.

The battle between Liyuan Qianxia and Ta Yaliang in the semi-finals of the Young Lions Tournament surprised many chess masters. As the first student to enter the semi-finals of the Young Lions Tournament, the name Liyuan Qianxia was mentioned by countless professional chess players .Atsushi Kurata saw the game record of that game from "Go Weekly" after hearing the name Liyuan Qianxia, ​​and he was shocked immediately after seeing it!

He has played against Ta Yaliang countless times, and he is very clear about his chess strength.However, this 17-year-old female high school student who came out of nowhere was able to take advantage of him in the fight.Moreover, her chess style is sharp and sophisticated, and she does not have the impetuosity that most young chess players will have in her moves. She is as calm as those top chess players who have gone through thousands of games.

This is not scientific at all!

Liyuan Qianxia is only 17 years old, even if she has started learning chess since she was a child, given her age and mentality, it is impossible to reach that level!

But now this impossibility has really happened. Kurata Atsushi is simply too curious about Li Yuan Qianxia and her chess strength, so he can't wait to invite him to fight as soon as we meet.

He knew that Liyuan Qianxia was very strong, so he had the attitude of going all out from the beginning.

It's just that with the deepening of the chess game, Atsushi Kurata became more and more surprised.That sense of tension that makes one can't help but tense his nerves, that sense of threat that is pressing every step of the way, that sense of anxiety that is struggling to move, made his eyebrows frowned more and more tightly, and even a layer of pain appeared on his forehead. In such a delicate sweat, he even forgot that the girl sitting opposite him was just a college student.

Playing against a master, I couldn't feel the passage of time at all, and I didn't know how long it had passed. Kurata Hou raised his head and said with a serious face, "I lost."

Liyuan Qianxia breathed out, "Thank you for your advice."

Among the onlookers, Shindo Hikaru was the one who knew Liyuan Qianxia's chess skills best, so he was not surprised by the result of this game.Although Hegu Yigao knew that Liyuan Qianxia was very strong, and perhaps only the top players in the chess world could compete with her, but he still found it unbelievable to see her win against an eighth-dan chess player with his own eyes. , after all, she is too young!

As for the other onlookers, their eyes on Liyuan Qianxia became complicated in an instant.

"Even Sensei Kurata won, that's amazing!"

"Yes, Kurata-sensei is an eight-dan shogi player!"

"Ah, I remembered, isn't she the dark horse reported in this issue of "Go Weekly"?"

"I remembered it too, it seems to be Liyuan...Qianxia!"

"Yes, that's her. It was predicted by "Go Weekly" that she might be the first academy student to win the Young Lions Championship in the Japanese chess world!"

"Amazing……"

The noisy discussion had no intention of avoiding people at all, and Hikari Shindo in the crowd heard it proudly and entangled.What they are proud of is that the person they praised is Xia, but what is bothering them is that everyone thinks he will lose... Xia's opponent in the final of the young lion competition is him!

Well, even he doesn't think he has a good chance of winning, but he won't admit defeat either!This is the first time he and Xia have played against each other in a formal game. He wants her to see his progress, and he wants Go to tell her that one day he will catch up with her and become an opponent that she will face up to!

Leaving aside how Shinto Hikaru was imagining the future passionately there, Kurata Hou couldn't figure it out after admitting defeat, his face crossed the chessboard and approached Liyuan Chinatsu, his chubby face was full of doubts, "Riyuan-san, you are really 17 years old this year ?”

Liyuan Qianxia was amused by his expression, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then how old do you think I look?"

Kurata Atsushi looked at her face seriously. Li Yuan Qianxia had a small melon-seeded face because of her thin body, and it looked very tender. Usually, it was not obvious because of her temperament, but she could see it when she just stared at her face. .

Kurata looked at it for a long time and muttered depressingly, "Why do you look so like a junior high school student?"

After being depressed for two seconds, I couldn't help asking again, "Then when did you start learning Go?"

More than one person has asked her this question, Liyuan Qianxia answered it very proficiently, she said, "I have learned it since I was a child." In order to avoid the endless Kurata Atsushi who lit up his inquisitive skills, Liyuan Qianxia changed the subject, "Isn't it Did I win your autograph? Where's the signature pad?"

"Here it is!" As soon as the voice fell, someone next to him handed over a blank signature board.

"Where's the pen?"

"My markers are out of ink and can't be used."

"Pen……"

"Will the brush work?"

There is a calligraphy exchange place next to the Go corner. It is almost the end of the activity center at [-]:[-], and the staff there have already started to clear up the things on the table. Ok, can I borrow a brush, please?"

It was a young man who was packing things. Seeing a pretty girl, he said shyly, "Yes, please use it."

Combined with the size of the signature board, Liyuan Qianxia chose a brush of moderate thickness, dipped it in ink, paused for a moment while hanging his wrist, and suddenly wrote freely, and the four fleshy Chinese characters of "Liyuan Qianxia" appeared vividly on the paper.

I haven't used a brush for a long time, and my writing is a bit stagnant.Although she was not satisfied with writing these words, Liyuan Qianxia had no choice but to give up with such a signature board in hand.

Unexpectedly, someone next to me suddenly said, "Li Yuan-san, sign one for me too!"

One started, and several blank signature pads and blank paper fans were handed over.Liyuan Qianxia smiled at these people and did not refuse. She took the signature board and the paper fan and brushed it in less than 5 minutes. degree.

It was the chubby aunt who played chess with Gu Yigao before who took over the signature board. She held the signature board and couldn't put it down. Happy to be appointed!"

In fact, Liyuan Qianxia has just made her mark in the young lion competition, even if some chess fans notice her, she will not become her mifensi so soon, especially those who come to participate in this kind of event are almost all leisurely uncles and aunts.They would think of asking her for an autograph, partly because Liyuan Qianxia had just won Kurata Atsushi, and a bigger part of the reason was Liyuan Qianxia's handwriting!Although these people may not all know calligraphy, the overall feeling of those few characters is different, and there is a feeling of being tall and superior!

Of course, there was such a mistake. When Liyuan Qianxia became the youngest holder of the title of Chess Master one day not long after, they took out the signature board of Liyuan Chess Master. I know how many envious and jealous eyes I have received.

When Li Yuan Qianxia handed the signature board to Kurata Hou, the latter had a bitter expression on his chubby face, she raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

"Someone asked you for an autograph so soon..." Did everyone forget him?He is a future celebrity, chess master, Honinbo... Huh!

His thoughts were all reflected on his face, Liyuan Qianxia couldn't help laughing, she said with a smile, "That's because I'm good-looking!"

Shindo Hikari next to him felt that what she said made sense, and couldn't help but nodded.

He Gu Yigao twitched his lips, "..." Is it really okay to be so narcissistic?

Atsushi Kurata was shocked by her self-love so confidently, and the expression on his face became less smelly.

He put away the broken glass heart, looked down at the signature pad in his hand, then looked up at her and said seriously, "Liyuan Qianxia, ​​I remember this name. I will play in the professional chess world. Go straight ahead, waiting for you to step into this world, and when we meet again, I will never lose to you again!"

Liyuan Qianxia was infected by his serious tone, and the expression on her face also became serious. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Kurata narrowed her eyes suddenly, and yawned with a smile on her face, "Here I'll sign it for you later!"

The corner of Liyuan Qianxia's mouth twitched, "..."

The activity center will be closed at six o'clock, and the few people said goodbye quickly. On the way to the subway station, Shindo Hikaru suddenly asked curiously, "Xia, what was your life like before? I mean you are still Xia When the sun is hot, you are so good at Go, and you can even write calligraphy so well.” In fact, he was even more curious about how such an outstanding person could not be married at the age of 36.

Liyuan Qianxia paused slightly, Shinto Hikari's words reminded her of the events of the previous two lives.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Shinto Hikari thought she didn't want to talk, so he couldn't help but said a little nervously, "Heh, heh, Xia, I'm sorry, just pretend I didn't ask..." Even though he said this, he was still a little sad psychologically. : Xia doesn't believe him...

Liyuan Qianxia turned her head and saw him with a dejected look on his face, like a big dog being bullied by his master, it was funny but also kind of heartwarming.

This young man was always like this, treating her carefully and clumsily, and caring about her feelings, not daring to make her happy in the slightest. This feeling was like being held in his hands as a treasure.

Liyuan Qianxia thought, how can such a person refuse?Every minute, she could clearly hear the ice in her heart melting and collapsing.

She raised the corners of her lips suddenly, and said in a mischievous manner, "I used to be an ancient princess. When I died, I became the previous Xia Jiaoyang. Xia Jiaoyang died again, and then I became the present." Liyuan Qianxia."

"Eh?" Shindo Hikaru looked at her in a daze, completely unresponsive, what was dead, he was terrified when he heard it.

It took him a while to recollect it, and he asked nervously, "Ten or eight years old? Both?" Dead?

Liyuan Qianxia was stunned for two seconds before realizing what he was asking, and she couldn't help being a little speechless: Dear, is the focus wrong?

But she still nodded, "Yes."

The expression on Shinto Hikaru's face became more tense, and he asked, "Natsu, when is your birthday?"

"Birthday?" To be honest, she really doesn't know the birthday of this body, but for some reason, the question Hikari Shinto asked made her feel a little hairy in her heart. She frowned and said impatiently, "You ask What is this for? You believe what I say? Those words just now are all lies to you, idiot!"

As she spoke, she walked forward quickly, and when she arrived at the subway station, Liyuan Qianxia walked down the ladder.Shinto Hikari was still standing there, looking at her back with a hesitant expression: Is it really a lie to him?Although those words sounded ridiculous, why did he think they were true?

After walking for a long time, no one followed, Liyuan Qianxia turned her head and saw Shinto Hikari standing there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.She reflected that maybe her tone just now was too much, and she slowed down and waved at him, "Come here soon?"

The summoned Shindo Hikaru hurriedly caught up. He looked at Liyuan Qianxia beside him, and at the same time silently swore in his heart: Xia, whether it is true or not, I will protect you!
