I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 596 It would be better to admit defeat earlier

As he stared at the still empty chessboard, Su Chengyi suddenly felt very fortunate.

Fortunately, the little brat Chu Xuanxuan rushed towards him while shouting about something like bond, otherwise he would not be playing a comfortable game of chess, but would be besieged by all kinds of relatives and friends and asked about all kinds of privacy issues.

In this way, Go becomes a good excuse to break the ice.

However, past experience has shown that the situation will never inexplicably develop in a direction that is favorable to him.

Thinking of this, Su Chengyi suddenly looked up at Chu Qingmian.

Could it be that this was intentional?
Sure enough, I saw a hint of cunning, similar to that of a kitten, in her beautiful eyes.

It seems to be true.

He deliberately mentioned to Chu Xuanxuan that he was a very good chess player before today's family dinner. In this way, Chu Xuanxuan, who claimed to be a Go master, would definitely not be able to help but challenge him at this time.

In this way, the game of chess will replace some other link.

That is to say, the possible interrogation and teasing stages were replaced with the stages that Su Chengyi was more comfortable with and proficient in.

All in all, it seemed that everything was going according to Miss Chu's plan.

"please."

Su Chengyi raised his hand with a serious expression.

"please."

Although he was very aggressive and unconvinced inside, he still had basic courtesy. Chu Xuanxuan nodded, which was quite decent.

According to the rule of "black first, white later", Chu Xuanxuan placed the first piece, on top of number three.

This is his best opening strategy, to stay in a corner.

With this start, Chu Xuanxuan made the children a few years older than him cry in the Children's Palace, and the adults also often scratched their ears and cheeks with red faces and thick noses.

Su Chengyi held the white piece, but inexplicably thought of a genius kid who placed the chess piece at the "Tianyuan" position right at the start, and he couldn't help but smile.

Miss Chu, who was standing on the other side watching the chess game, naturally thought of the same thing. She suddenly felt her face getting hot, and thought to herself that the shadow of childhood will accompany you for a lifetime!

Whenever she sees Go in the future, she will think of herself as a child who excitedly signed up for a Gobang competition, thinking it was one.

This is so embarrassing!!!

What was even more embarrassing was that she encountered Su Chengyi, a bug-level opponent right at the beginning of the first round! !

After just a few simple moves, this guy keenly realized that something was wrong, and then looked at her with pity as if she were a fool.

The next second, he raised his hand and shook the referee over.

"Sorry, I can't play this game."

Su Chengyi, who was a cub, spoke slowly with a cocky and annoying face.

“Why can’t I get off?”

At first the referee thought that the children were having a conflict, which was very common in children's competitions. Children were very competitive and had difficulty controlling their emotions, so it was common to see them crying and fighting because a few chess pieces were eaten.

"She can't play chess at all."

Su Chengyi snorted coldly.

This was a situation that had never occurred before. The confused referee and the teachers from both teams who had rushed over looked at each other and finally turned their eyes to the chessboard.

"."

At that time, Chu Qingmian had no idea what was going on with this strange scene. She just glared at him and muttered in retort:
"You don't know how to play chess! I already have four chess pieces in a row, and I can make five in a row soon."

"Ah."

Su Chengyi sneered.

Now the truth is out.

The teachers on both sides felt angry and amused at the same time. They shook hands, grabbed their students and fled the competition venue.

"You kid, why did you take the initiative to participate in the competition without even asking what kind of chess it is? And you are so good at it and you really can do everything. You really fooled the teacher."

Chu Qingmian's teacher bought a string of candied haws on the roadside and stuffed it into her hand, guiding her patiently.

"Aren't we playing Go today?"

Chu Qingmian asked in confusion, chewing hawthorn with a bulging mouth.

"No."

The teacher sighed helplessly.

The other side at this time.

"The teacher of that student has already helped her withdraw from the competition. We have a bye in the first round and will advance directly."

Su Chengyi's teacher also bought him a string of candied haws, squatted down and looked him straight in the eye.

Su Chengyi held the string of red candied haws in his hand, and was not in a hurry to eat it. Instead, he said slowly:
"I'm not going to participate."

"Why don't you participate?"

"If even an idiot like this can participate, then it only shows that this competition is of no value."

Su Chengyi bit the sugar coating of the candied haws until it was crispy.

Forget the past.

Chu Qingmian shook his head to try to forget this memory, but when he looked up, he saw Su Chengyi's mouth corners curled up inexplicably.

Damn it! He must have been thinking about this, and was laughing at her in his heart.

Chu Qingmian glared at him twice, but unfortunately the other party had his head down and did not receive the eye attack.

Su Chengyi wasn't actually laughing secretly. If he wanted to laugh, he would have already laughed at him to his heart's content when he was a child. At this moment, he just thought of the rare times when Class Monitor Chu made a fool of himself when he was a child, and thought he was really cute.

However, it was not only Chu Qingmian who noticed his smile, but also the little fat boy sitting opposite him.

Classmate Chu Xuanxuan already had a lot of complaints about him, and was ready to fight a game of chess and defeat this legendary powerful guy in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his head with a proud and confident look, the opponent was not in a hurry to play chess. He rubbed the white chess piece on his fingertips with an extremely arrogant smile on his face.

That’s okay! ! !

Chu Xuanxuan felt a "boom" and his face turned red and warm.

This time it's really red and warm.

"Hey! Are we going to get down or not?"

Throwing aside all the good qualities of humility and politeness that a young Go player would have, Chu Xuanxuan knocked the chessboard loudly.

As a result, he was immediately hit hard on the head by his uncle who was standing behind him watching the game.

"Quiet!"

There are rules for thinking time in Go, and how to use it is up to the other party. No matter the opponent or the audience, they are absolutely not allowed to make any noise to interfere. Seeing that the other people watching nearby did not intend to defend him, Chu Xuanxuan had to cover his head and whimpered, and was as quiet as a chicken again.

With this farce, Su Chengyi came back from his memories, said "Huh", and his eyes fell back on the chessboard.

Chu Xuanxuan placed the black chess piece at 33, which is the most solid position for defending the corner, but it is slow to develop outward, indicating that his style of play tends to be conservative.

This is not consistent with his personality. It seems that we should separate chess playing style from personal character.

Su Chengyi was thinking casually while making a move.

Anyone who can understand chess will find this a very difficult move to understand. The strange position makes it impossible to guess his purpose or predict the next move.

Chu Xuanxuan claimed that he had memorized many chess records and had discussed with many high-level people, but he did not understand why this person made this move. The best explanation seemed to be
He doesn't know how to play chess at all! He just pretends to be good at it to fool laymen! ! !
Chu Xuanxuan's little head was spinning rapidly. He felt that he had seen through the truth of the matter, and for a moment he became very excited.

Great, this is the best time to expose this cold-faced weirdo! Everyone, look at me! ! !

Only my great uncle, who had the highest chess skill level, was cautious, because Su Chengyi's movements and eyes when playing chess definitely did not seem like those of someone who did not know how to play chess.

Go is a very mysterious game, containing the ancient philosophical meanings of one yuan giving birth to two opposites, two opposites giving birth to four symbols, four symbols giving birth to eight trigrams, the round sky and square earth, the 19 agricultural solar terms, and the number of 360 celestial bodies.

Therefore, my great uncle has always believed that people who can play Go well must not be ordinary people, but should be the kind of people who can be recognized as having a noble bearing at a glance.

The young man sitting opposite me with a serious expression has just such a temperament.

As it turns out, this is indeed the case.

Half an hour later.

Of the two people playing chess, the calm and composed one remained calm, while the one on the other side who excitedly blew the horn of victory has now stopped and no longer has any momentum.

This is a tragic chess game, and the situation can be said to be completely one-sided.

The black piece was huddled in the corner, barely surviving, while the white piece had already swept through like a whirlwind and was unstoppable.

At the beginning of the game, everyone will discuss it in whispers. Those who know chess will briefly explain the rules to those who don't, such as what this position is called, what the purpose of this move is, and so on.

But in the end, everyone became much quieter.

Because this one-sided scene needs no explanation, anyone who knows black and white can understand it.

Every time Chu Qingmian watched Su Chengyi play chess, he would feel a little emotional.

The saying that one's character can be seen from the way he plays chess is actually not very reasonable, because Su Chengyi's chess playing style is very different from his real self.

There were some clues when he played chess with the vice-president with a side-parted hair in the chess club before. He ruthlessly made the other person blush and turn red. I'm afraid he won't want to see the chess board again for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the same was true for Go. When he played, his expression was as calm as usual, but his style was fierce and arrogant. Every move he made was determined to leave no chance for the opponent to survive, and the sense of oppression was extremely strong.

Chu Xuanxuan was indeed a good candidate. Facing such a treacherous chess move, he tried hard to fight back, although with little success. After a while, he understood what "helpless" and "realm gap" meant.

Moreover, no one would think that Su Chengyi was bullying the weak, because the one who was scratching his head and cheeks with Chu Xuanxuan with a red face was the little old man standing behind him who was three years older than Su Chengyi.

Yes, less than ten minutes after the start, my great uncle, who realized that something was wrong, had already joined the battle.

Except for Chu Qingmian, everyone else originally thought that it would be a classic plot where the protagonist uses cheats to call for help from the old man in the ring and saves the situation, but unexpectedly it was not the case.

What is happening before our eyes is another classic story.

"The younger ones were beaten, and here comes the older ones."

"So they beat the old one too."

"Lost."

After a long stalemate, my cousin, who understood Go, couldn't help but sigh.

"GG——"

The younger generation spoke in unison in a drawn-out tone.

This is a commonly used phrase when playing games, meaning "Good Game", and is often sent to the opponent as a sign of respect when admitting defeat in a game.

The older generation was relatively reserved. They just looked at each other and raised their hands to applaud helplessly.

"Thank you for the hard work. Both sides played very well. It was a very exciting game."

Grandpa Chu Qingmian, who had just proposed to play this chess game, also took the initiative to undertake the finishing work. He stood up, pulled the already red-faced Chu Xuanxuan into his arms and comforted him:

"Xuanxuan, you are still young. Wait until you have practiced for a few more years before you come and fight with this brother."

Chu Qingmian handed the cooled jasmine tea in her hand to Su Chengyi with a smile and curved her eyebrows.

"As expected, it's classmate Su Chengyi who calls a referee to judge me. He's really amazing!"

"Ok."

Su Chengyi nodded and took a sip of the tea in the cup. The aroma of jasmine filled his nose, fresh and delicious.

"Promise me that next time you participate in a competition, don't go down to Tianyuan right away."

"No way!"

Chu Qingmian snorted, touched Chu Xuanxuan's hedgehog-like head, and comforted him:
"Well, you are great too, Xuanxuan. When I was your age, I was still playing Go as if it were Gobang!"

After hearing her say this, Chu Xuanxuan reluctantly lifted his face from the adult's arms, looking very frustrated.

"sorry."

"Ok?"

Chu Qingmian was slightly stunned, then realized that the child was saying sorry to Su Chengyi.

"I shouldn't have thought you couldn't play chess at all. I admit defeat. You are really good."

Chu Xuanxuan turned around dejectedly and said this.

Miss Chu suddenly felt a little guilty. In order to reduce the time Su Chengyi was forced to work, she designed this chess-playing session.

In this way, it not only has the effect of an "ice-breaking game", but also allows people present to realize that Su Chengyi's level is not just bluffing, but is really amazing.

Unexpectedly, although the goal was achieved, the faith of this naughty kid who had always been smooth sailing and had never suffered any loss since childhood was completely shattered.

I originally thought that Su Chengyi would be like a normal adult and would speak to comfort me at this time, saying something like "You are very talented but lack experience" and "You still have a long way to go in the future."

Unexpectedly, in the face of Chu Xuanxuan's sincere apology, Su Chengyi just nodded slightly and didn't seem to react much.

The next second, he grasped a black piece and dropped it onto the board with a "click".

"From this point on, you have entered a real dead end. Everything after that is just a last-ditch struggle. It doesn't make much sense. Just admit defeat here."

Although he said this calmly and indifferently, to describe it, it was like a cold knife stabbing into one's heart.

Even after flashing, you still have to chase A!

Although she had expected that this guy would not be able to comfort anyone, Miss Chu almost fainted when she heard him speak so directly.

Not only her, everyone else did not expect such a development and looked at each other in bewilderment for a moment.
