[Chinese celebrity Zhaojun is here! The appearance of an empress! 】
[After two years, the stupid beauty has undergone a gorgeous transformation? ! It’s hard to take your eyes off! 】
【What is queenly style! The current Zhaojun makes his grand appearance! 】
……
"Hmm...Although I knew before that the attention would definitely not be small..."
At eight o'clock in the evening on December 30, in an izakaya near Japanese Chess Courtyard.
While Xia Chuankui was scrolling through the reports on the domestic mainstream news media on the arrival of the Chinese celebrity Rui Zhao in Japan today on his mobile phone, he kept mumbling:
"...But is it so hot this time?!
"Almost all mainstream media have reported on it! Not only did they make the sports headlines, they even made the comprehensive headlines on some websites!
"Last year Ichijo won the Miaojia Bailing Cup, but he didn't have such a big influence!"
"It's normal."
Hiroaki Shindo who was on the side also took a sip of beer, but his expression was very calm:
"After all, the reigning women's unrestricted title holder is enough to be talked about - Kim Woo-eun's best result in South Korea's domestic competition is runner-up, which is already popular enough, not to mention the serious Huaxia reigning Celebrities!
"Not to mention, Rui Zhao's appearance in the seventh stage is completely the kind of person in our country who would be chased by talent scouts and acting agencies asking for his phone number when walking on the street. It is really very controversial!"
"Well..."
Hearing this, Xia Chuankui nodded slightly:
"It's no wonder that Chaoying News and Chess Academy are thinking of holding another Huaying Celebrity Competition after so many years..."
“It’s not just ‘holding it again’, but ‘holding it again with ridiculously high standards’!”
Hiroaki Shindo added:
"For this competition, just activate the 'Yugen Room' [the best match room in the country], and in the New Year [the most important festival of the year in the country], let Ichijo [the current number one player in the country] play, and then arrange Forget it between me, the [best female chess player in domestic history] and you, [the best female chess player in domestic history]...
"The chairman actually directly stated that he would personally serve as the referee of the game, and even arranged for Uesaka, the [appointed future leader] in the chess academy, to be the scorer for this game!
"I have never seen this kind of treatment in any competition before!"
"Well...
"But now it seems that the attention Rui Zhao has received is worthy of this attention and treatment...
"I believe this match will be a good start for the promotion of the Asian Games in China and Beijing next year."
Xia Chuankui nodded slightly, but then frowned and added:
"But...I have to mention something.
"Although the chess academy has fulfilled its specifications, are you not afraid that you will lose this game?
"Ever since I handed over the last female-style Honinbo title to Asa-chan last month, I have been watching Rui Zhao's chess without the title...
"To be honest, although her performance in the Yi Xian Competition was a bit volatile, her current strength is really very strong.
"If it were the Masters Game or just the day before yesterday when she and Lei Qi were in the league...
"I feel like he can't stand one!"
"Then... I can't stand it."
Hiroaki Shindo, who has always been steady, rarely raised his eyebrows, with a slight hint of ridicule in his tone:
"Anyway, the three strongest chess players in the world at the moment - Liu Shixian, Lei Qi, and Sun Yi have all done it, and the previous generation of Chinese and Korean leaders Lin Ruixin and Li Tingyan have also done it, no less than this one."
"..."
Hearing what his old friend said, Xia Chuankui was quite speechless, but he had to admit:
It seems... losing to Rui Zhao is really not a shameful thing now!
Anyway, it’s all in Empress Shoten’s fermented bean curd book. Don’t laugh at anyone. It’s not a shame to have Takuya Ichijo, the number one person in Japan, join the list.
At this time, Shindo Hiroaki added:
"Besides, if we lose, we will also gain something - because this is to prove to all the people that the upper limit of female chess players is completely capable of surpassing our current domestic number one!
"Although... Rui Zhao is from China.
"But the next generation of female chess players who are the strongest and most topical...
"That's where we are!"
…
…
"Wow! Kawaii!
"Rei-chan, if you appear on the live broadcast wearing such an outfit today, it will definitely be very topical!"
On December 31st, the day of the Huaying Celebrity Competition, at 11:30 noon, the Japanese Chess Academy.
Airi Ichinose, who had just dressed up Rei Uesaka, looked at the star of hope of her chess academy and gave a half-compliment and half-sincere admiration.
Because it is the Gregorian New Year in Japan, for this celebrity match, the Japanese Chess Academy not only satisfies all aspects of the competition specifications, but also spares no effort in the sense of ceremony.
Although the Japanese Chess Academy does not have many dress requirements for the guest side, China, it can be said that it is full of details for its own personnel.
From Yahiko Kobayashi, the chairman of the Japanese Go Academy, who is the chief referee, to Rei Uesaka, who is the scorekeeper, all the main personnel involved in this game are wearing traditional Japanese costumes to cater to the festive atmosphere and the cultural tone of Go. Today, Rei Uesaka is wearing an exquisite kimono. The kimono has an elegant water pink base and is embroidered with delicate cherry blossom patterns, as if it is blooming with the breath of spring.
Her short hair was skillfully styled into slightly curled styles, with a few strands of broken hair gently hanging down in front of her forehead, adding a bit of playfulness and cuteness to her. Wearing small Japanese-style hair accessories in her ears, echoing the pattern on the kimono, showing her gentle beauty without losing the agility of a girl. The whole person exudes a youthful and lively charm, which is eye-catching.
"Ah...Thank you Airi-san!"
Although Rei Uesaka seemed a little embarrassed to receive such praise, it could be seen from her expression that she was still quite happy with it.
After all, Rei Uesaka has been looking forward to this game for a long time.
On one side is Ichijo Takuya, who once again won the long-lost world championship for his country after nearly twenty years!
On one side is Rei Saka, who dominates the unrestricted arena and continues to prove that "who said women are inferior to men"!
The two officially met in the Huaying Celebrity Competition, a very traditional event. How could Rei Uesaka not be excited?
She was eager to see this match, and her eagerness seemed to have returned to the Dongjiang Hotel at the beginning of the year. Rui Zhao was about to board the Nongshim Arena to challenge the God of Nongshim who seemed to never fall. Time is normal!
"...Okay, Rei-chan, it's almost time..."
Ichinose looked at the time on his phone, gently patted the girl in front of him on the cheek and said:
"Now Rui Zhao's special car is expected to arrive soon. According to the pre-arranged process, Li Jiang needs you to lead her to the 'Yuxuan Room'.
"Come! Let's go!"
"Yeah!"
As Rei Uesaka nodded vigorously, the two led the staff out of the preparation room.
At this time, the corridors of the chess academy were already filled with many media reporters. As soon as Rei Uesaka, who was dressed up in costume, appeared, they were greeted by a flurry of long shots and short cannons. The posture showed how much attention this match was receiving.
And the sound of the shutter that kept ringing in her ears could not help but make Rei Uesaka even more excited.
She was waiting at the entrance of the Chess Courtyard in the light snow in early winter, her whole body tensed and straight, watching the arrival of the Chess Courtyard's special car, as if her whole body and mind were devoted to the prelude to this much-anticipated battle.
Kogami's waiting did not last long.
At 11:40 noon, the special car carrying Chinese celebrities drove into the Qi Yuan and finally stopped firmly at the entrance of the Qi Yuan building.
Upon seeing this, Uesaka Rei hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but just when she was about to greet the celebrity Zhaojun by name, she suddenly froze.
A beautiful young woman of twenty years old stepped out of the car wearing a gorgeous red traditional Chinese costume.
Her long hair is silky, gently rolled up, and paired with a simple yet luxurious golden hairpin, adding a touch of elegance and grandeur. Her eyebrows are picturesque, her red lips are light, and her every gesture shows the tenderness and tenacity of a woman. The gorgeous clothing uses a deep burgundy as the background color, with dancing gauze and exquisite embroidery patterns flying on the hem, making it noble and elegant.
The moment the whole person stretched out from the car, he was like a red peony blooming in the morning light, showing his unparalleled grace, which almost attracted everyone of the same sex!
However, this young beauty seemed to be unaware of her own charm. Dressed up, she saw the somewhat stunned Kogami Saka in front of her, and smiled naturally and said hello:
"Ah, Rei-chan! Good lunch!
"You look very cute today!"
But at this time, Uesaka Rei had no intention of answering Ruizhao's words! Just being able to calm down would be great!
On weekdays, Rui Zhao always looks dazzling without any makeup, but today it was rare for her to dress up, which made Rei Uesaka feel suffocated by the stunning look!
Kogami Saka stood there for several seconds, and Ichinose next to her poked her. Only then did the Japanese star of hope react, and sighed in a slightly broken Chinese:
"Sister Rui, Rui Zhao...
"You are so beautiful today!
"None of the actresses on TV can compare to you! None!"
"Ah, thank you!
"Just now...Sister An An spent more than an hour dressing me up!"
Rui Zhao responded to the compliment with a slight embarrassment, and then explained helplessly:
"Actually... I don't like spending so much time on dressing.
"But Sister An'an said that this time Ichijou and Rei-chan will both be wearing traditional Japanese costumes. No matter what we say, we have to steal the limelight...
"...Ah, no, no!
"I-I misspoke! I didn't mean to steal your limelight, Rei-chan!
"I just...that..."
"It's okay! Sister Rui Zhao! Come on, let's go to the 'Yuxuan Room'!
"The chairman and brother Ichijo are still waiting there!"
Although the other party seemed to have let slip something, Uesaka Rei didn't care at all at this time. She still looked at the other party with bright eyes and introduced Rui Zhao into the chess courtyard.
Kogami Saka has always "crossed the river by following Zhao Tianhou", almost imitating Rui Zhao and working hard to move forward step by step. Now he has subconsciously regarded Rui Zhao as his idol and role model!
As reporters from all walks of life in the corridor kept snapping photos and heard soft praises, Rei Uesaka felt a very strange feeling in her heart.
I feel that one day I will become like the seventh-level beauty in front of me, ridiculously strong, but amazingly beautiful!
And when the current Zhaojun of China, who was as dignified and gorgeous as a peony, was finally introduced into the game room between Youxuan, the expressions of everyone waiting there were almost involuntarily affected by a hugely unexpected shock. Even through the camera screen, the breathing of everyone paying attention to this game seemed to have stopped for a while.
Everyone knows that Rui Zhao is very beautiful, but they never imagined that she would be so stunning!
However, in this atmosphere full of surprise and surprise, Zhaojun himself seemed not to feel anything was wrong at all.
Under the guidance of Rei Uesaka, she sat down opposite Takuya Ichijo who was already sitting in front of the chess table and nodded slightly as a salute.
Immediately, like a veritable female monarch, she greeted today’s opponent dignifiedly and solemnly:
"Hello, celebrity Yitiao! I am Zhaojun Ruizhao, the current celebrity in power in China.
"I have been invited to come to your country this time, and I would like to ask you for advice on the pattern plate!" (End of this chapter)
