Chapter 342 Once and for all

"We are friends."

Liu Runxi said calmly, it was not an explanation, but an objective statement of facts.

Wei Yuner's eyes lit up, "So she's a friend. I thought if she was your girlfriend, I would keep my distance from you to avoid your girlfriend's misunderstanding."

These words were said in a considerate manner, but to Shen Youan, they were as refreshing as drinking a cup of strong tea.

Liu Runxi frowned, he was not stupid, how could he not hear the temptation in Wei Yuner's words, this made him very unhappy, but he was more afraid that An An would misunderstand.

He turned his head to look at Shen Youan beside him. The girl was in a stable mood and looked at Wei Yuner with a faint smile in her eyes.

Wei Yuner walked up to Shen Youan with a smile, "Hello, my name is Wei Yuner, you are Runxi's friend, so you will be my friend from now on."

Shen Youan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Liu Runxi: "Why haven't I heard you mention this friend?"

The smile on Wei Yuner's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

She glared at Liu Runxi coquettishly, then took a step forward and took Shen Youan's arm in a familiar manner: "Runxi and I met at this chess academy when we were young. At that time, I was forced by my parents to learn Go, and I was very emotionally broken. Runxi helped me a lot both emotionally and in Go. Runxi is not good at speaking, and he keeps everything in his heart. I can understand why he didn't mention me to his new friends."

Oh, I see. Childhood sweethearts.

And that sentence about new friends is quite interesting.

Shen Youan gently brushed her hand away and smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to being so close to strangers I meet for the first time."

Wei Yun'er didn't expect the other party to give her no face at all, and the smile on her face seemed a little forced.

Liu Runxi was usually indifferent, but when he heard Wei Yuner's words inadvertently revealing how close she was to him, he finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Wei Yuner, you know in your heart what the relationship between you and me is, don't let me say anything unpleasant."

Wei Yuner smiled helplessly and said to Shen Youan, "Since he transferred to Qingzhou, he and I have become estranged. Are you the chess player participating in the competition today?"

Wei Yuner changed the subject at the right time and her eyes fell on the number plate in Shen Youan's hand.

At this time, a staff member with a work badge hanging around his neck came over quickly, looked around, and when he saw Wei Yuner, his eyes lit up and he walked towards her quickly: "Teacher Wei, I finally found you. The dean wants to see you. Please follow me."

Wei Yuner smiled and nodded: "I'll be there right after I finish talking to my friend."

The staff glanced at Liu Runxi and Shen Youan, then respectfully stepped aside and waited.

Shen Youan raised his eyebrows, "Teacher Wei?"

Wei Yuner smiled and glanced at Liu Runxi: "To be honest, I am one of the judges of this competition."

Shen Youan narrowed his eyes.

The girl in front of him raised her chin slightly, her smile revealing unparalleled pride.

Being a judge in a Go competition at such a young age is indeed something to be proud of.

Wei Yuner sighed, "Runxi, if you had insisted on taking this path, you would have achieved more than me. You are so talented, and among that group of students, Dean Sun is the one who thinks you are the best. He mentioned you to me a few days ago, and his tone was full of regret. Come with me to see the dean. He is not in good health now, and he will be very happy to see you."

Wei Yuner's eyes were filled with sincere pleading, as if she was truly regretting the retirement of a Go genius.

Shen Youan glanced at Liu Runxi calmly.

He was still humble.

Liu Runxi's expression remained indifferent, and his tone was even colder: "I will visit Dean Sun. As for Go, I have never regretted my previous choice."

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Wei Yun'er felt a little disappointed. She adjusted her smile and looked at Shen You'an: "Although you are Runxi's friend, I cannot be partial to you. Fairness is the standard on the chess field. But if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time. For Runxi's sake, I will definitely help you if I can."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Runxi meaningfully.

Shen Youan smiled. This girl is quite interesting. What does it mean that you can't be partial to her? She still regards fairness as the standard on the chess field. It's just short of saying that she is not good enough and can't help her cheat.

Who are you looking down on?

Liu Runxi's voice was as cold as ice: "You underestimated An An, and you underestimated me."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at her and just pulled Shen Youan away.

Wei Yun'er watched the two people walking away. The sweet smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and a layer of gloom filled the depths of her eyes.

"Teacher Wei..." The staff member walked over cautiously.

Wei Yuner said coldly: "Go check the identity of the player at table 27."

The staff was stunned for a moment and immediately agreed.

Players who draw the same number plate will automatically become opponents in the game.

The number plate in the girl's hand is 27.

When she thought of Liu Runxi's protection of her, jealousy surged in her heart like a river, and she couldn't calm down at all.

When he was in the chess academy, Liu Runxi was very withdrawn. He always sat alone in a corner practicing chess silently. If it weren't for his outstanding appearance, he would be so quiet that he would have almost no sense of existence.

Later, a boy from the chess academy who always wanted to show off provoked him. The young Liu Runxi sat quietly behind the chessboard and said in a calm and indifferent voice: "Fists and feet are the work of a reckless man. We will decide the outcome on the chess board."

The little boy has a calmness and indifference that goes beyond his age. His back is always straight, as slender and tall as a pine or bamboo, making him so special and unique among the boys in the chess academy.

"You lost, apologize to me."

The boy opposite said disdainfully: "What if you lose?" "It's up to you."

The chessboard was opened, and Liu Runxi placed his pieces calmly. He had a cool and indifferent temperament, but no one expected that his style of play was so aggressive and murderous. In a short time, he beat his opponent to a pulp and made him question his life.

He was also a child praised by the dean for being smart and talented, but in front of Liu Runxi, he could only be abused. It was then that everyone watching understood what true talent was.

From then on, Liu Runxi was the male god that all the girls in the chess academy secretly loved, but he had always been aloof and indifferent, and never got close to anyone in the chess academy.

Because of her outstanding talent, she was assigned by the dean to be Liu Runxi's sparring partner, which brought them closer to him. At that time, many girls were jealous of her being Liu Runxi's sparring partner.

But that was all. Apart from Go, Liu Runxi never said a word to her. He seemed to have no feelings. In his eyes, there was nothing special about her, the most beautiful girl in the Go academy. She was just a sparring partner, nothing more.

She was young at that time and she only felt that the boy was like the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, bright and mysterious, high above, always out of reach.

She would like to be a star next to the moon, not asking to shine with the same light as the sun and the moon, but only asking to complement each other.

She had enough time to accompany him as he grew up, and she was the only girl who could get close to him anyway.

If she doesn't have a chance, then other girls will have even less chance.

At that time, Liu Runxi had already participated in international competitions and obtained very good points and rankings. He was a rising star in the Go world. He was still so young and his future achievements were limitless.

But everything came to an abrupt end at the height of his glory. He quit the chess academy, stopped competing, and transferred to a school in remote Qingzhou.

She was participating in a competition when he left, and she rushed back but was unable to see him for the last time.

She didn't even have his WeChat or contact information. He just suddenly left her world and disappeared without a trace.

We never met again.

Having been a sparring partner for Liu Runxi for several years, it helped her more than she could have imagined. She kept trying her best and participated in competitions non-stop as if out of spite. She did not stop for even a single day in these years. Finally, she became a representative figure of talented young girls in the Go world, and her fame and fortune far exceeded the limits of what she could obtain at her age.

She thought that one day, when she had achieved success, she would reunite with Liu Runxi, and he would finally see her existence in his eyes, and a beautiful story would begin.

I didn't expect the reunion to come so unexpectedly.

He grew into a young boy, with a tall and slender figure, handsome and indifferent eyes and brows. He was the best look she had imagined him to be when he grew up. No, he was better than she had imagined.

How could she not be moved?

But even such an indifferent and seemingly emotionless person had a young girl appear beside him, and the look in his eyes towards the girl was filled with tenderness that he himself had not even noticed.

How could this be.

When she thought of the look he gave the girl, she felt so painful that she couldn't breathe.

All her years of waiting and hard work became a joke in an instant.

"I will let you know how wrong your choice was."

Liu Runxi walked a long way away before he realized that he was holding Shen Youan's hand. He felt a soft touch on his palm, so he quickly let go of her hand and took a step back.

"Sorry, I was rash."

Shen Youan looked at his ears, which were as red as jade, and said lightly, "Childhood sweethearts."

Liu Runxi frowned, "No, she was the sparring partner assigned to me by the dean of the chess academy when I was a child. Apart from that, there is no relationship between the two of us. The things she said that could be easily misunderstood were just her subjective assumptions."

Shen Youan smiled: "What are you explaining? Even if you two really have a relationship, it has nothing to do with me. Who stipulated that you can only have me as a friend? Am I that overbearing?"

Liu Runxi's indifferent face was finally tinged with a hint of anxiety. He wanted to explain something, but when he opened his mouth, he became hoarse again.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Shen Youan said: "You need to make more friends, but that girl just now is not suitable."

Liu Runxi suddenly looked up and looked deeply into Shen Youan's eyes.

The girl's eyes were open and bright, without even a trace of girlish shyness.

His heart suddenly started beating wildly.

Shen Youan said calmly: "I think you know it in your heart. I made it very clear just now. If she continues to pester you, you can use me as a shield. I know you are the one who fears trouble the most. It is better to get rid of it once and for all."

The boy lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "This is not fair to you."

A girl's reputation is so important.

Shen Youan said indifferently: "Aren't friends meant to help each other?"

After saying this, he lowered his head and glanced at his watch: "It's time, I should go in, if you are bored, go back first, don't wait for me deliberately."

Shen Youan turned and left. After taking two steps, the young man suddenly called out, "An An."

Shen Youan turned around.

The young man stood in the sun, his indifferent eyes brimming with tenderness. The girls passing by frequently looked at him, and his turning-head rate was 100%.

He said, “Come on, you are the best.”

Shen Youan looked at him quietly, and a warm current flowed through his heart.

She lowered her eyes, concealed the emotions in her eyes, turned and left.
