Chapter 537: The Final Round of Siege
“...Ah? Senior sister, what did you say?!
“You and Brother Sun are boyfriend and girlfriend? ! ! ”
December 13, Dongjiang City Jiangdong International Airport.
Lei Qi, who stayed in South Korea for half a month and won the Nongshim Cup and LIG Cup before returning home, received My senior sister's expression was a bit awkward for a moment when she called her.
In the past two days, Xiaolei Jiuduan was not in a good mood.
In the past year, although this supernova has performed outstandingly, he has suffered repeated defeats against the number one player in the world.
Like this time in the LIG Cup, although he took revenge on Xu Xiangheng in the semi-finals, he still failed in the finals against the best player in the world and returned home in despair.
In fact, before the game, Lei Qi still had certain hopes - Ryu Shixian's competitive status in this LIG Cup was not very high. During the promotion process, he won two games. He was once at a disadvantage, but finally relied on his extremely strong official strength to reverse the situation.
I don’t know why, but in the finals, the young master of the Liu family showed extremely strong suppressive power, as if he was particularly motivated when he was playing!
However, Lei Qi, who had just been defeated, did not even feel mournful for the loss of the LIG Cup for a moment.
The next upcoming international competition is the Nongshim Cup, which will start its third phase on February 7th!
On the stage of this competition, the boy has too many reasons not to lose, especially the last time!
So after finishing the LIG Cup journey, Lei Qi returned home almost non-stop and started the final preparations for the Nongshim Cup.
It’s just that he never expected that he would get such news from his senior sister just after returning to China with great pain and hatred, and it was inevitable that he would be a little uncomfortable with it.
"...Hmm."
The little bird on the other end of the phone could hear that he was a little embarrassed about his junior brother's surprise:
"Just the night before yesterday, he ran directly to Rongcheng. He blocked me shamelessly and couldn't drive me away no matter how hard he tried. I don't know who taught him...
"I just thought, even the little sheep are starting to go on a blind date, so I should consider it.
"Sun Hou is also a title holder after all. I have been a teammate with him for so many years and I am familiar with him, so I plan to give him a try...
"I told the teacher last night, and the teacher was very happy for me!
"I just hope that we won't delay our grades because of our love, especially since he and I both have titles to keep recently...
< br>"Then, I thought I would tell you about it anyway..."
At this time, Xiaolei Jiuduan's expression became more and more unbearable.
Uh...what's going on?
Sun Yi was still wearing a mask of pain when he was eliminated by Ryu Shixian in the semi-finals a few days ago! I even took the initiative to say a few words of comfort...
But it’s only been a few days?
I was still working very hard with Mr. Liu in the finals, but as soon as Comrade Yixian returned to China, he didn’t know what to do!
How can we do Chinese Go well with these love brains!
However, Xiaolei Jiuduan kept complaining in his mind, and he still sent blessings to his senior sister for her happy event:
"Congratulations, senior sister!
"Then during the Yixian Competition in a few days, will you invite me to have a meal? "
"That, that's no problem..."
Liu Yuhong's answer was still a little reserved, not at all as straightforward as before:
"However, it happens to be One thing... I want to ask your opinion. ”
"What do you think?"
"Well, there's something I'm not happy about..."
Liu Yuhong said in a tangled tone:
"Well, Sun Hou'er has been playing chess with Rui Zhao recently
"Although he explained that it was to ensure his own condition and get more results, and he wanted to find someone to practice with, so Rui Zhao could handle the amount of training. , I definitely don’t have any thoughts about my junior sister...but I always feel unhappy.
"When I first felt familiar with him, it was through pestering him to practice chess. Now I said that I could also play with him, but he rejected me.
"You are also the best. Male chess player, you say...is this normal? "
...Heh, senior sister.
This question... you really asked the right person!
After listening to Xiao Xiaoniao's question, Lei Qi sighed softly, Answered truthfully:
"...I don't think there's any problem." First of all...I'll be honest, senior sister, your current level may be a bit lower than Rui Zhao's.
"Recently Rui Zhao should be pestering Brother Sun to play 'one hour, one minute' fast chess, and Rui Zhao's fast chess is really very good now, I guess the average The nine-dan chess player can't control her, and practicing with her is no longer the same as playing chess with a bad chess player...
"But senior sister, if you say... uh..."
" ..." The little bird was silent for a moment, but was speechless.
"Secondly... Brother Sun can earn 5,000 yuan if he wins a game!
" Judging from the importance Brother Sun attaches to bonuses, with such a treatment, he will not drain Rui Zhao dry. I'm afraid I don't want to stop! "
"...What? ! Winning a game of five thousand? ! "
At this time, the somewhat tangled tone of the little birdie on the other end of the phone obviously changed into extreme surprise:
" He, are they playing chess? !
"Isn't this really Rui Zhao taking care of Sun Hou'er?!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Senior sister, where are you thinking!!!"
For a moment Lei Qi just felt There are so many words to say:
“Although Brother Sun is not bad in appearance, apart from his chess skills, how can he be favored by Rui Zhao in other aspects!
“Senior Sister There must be a limit to your self-esteem! ”
"..."
The little bird fell silent again.
I felt that even though he was somewhat unhappy about being complained about by his junior brother, she still took a long time to say a word in front of the hard facts:
"But I am just worried..."
"Then you can watch the whole game and follow along to review it after the game - I guess neither of them will have any objections to this."
"I, I understand..."
The little bird responded, but then couldn't help but ask:
"But what is Rui Zhao doing!
“Playing so much chess for five thousand yuan a game? Never heard of this!
“Hey, by the way, Xiao Lei—how did you know about this?”
"...She only told me about this incident, but not the reason, and I don't know what she did it for."
Lei Qi was tight-lipped and did not reveal any key information, but the tone was clear But he was full of determination:
“But no matter what she is for...
“I will definitely not let her get her wish anyway. ”
…
…
On December 14, the 2024 world chess world ended the competition for the last international event.
In the second game of the Wuyue Cup, Ice Queen Jin Youen once again suppressed the underage witch Yang Manjing without any suspense. After successfully achieving three consecutive victories in the fan air battle, she also continued to dominate the Wuyue Cup. Three years after she was crowned, she is "the number one woman in the world" and her reputation remains the same.
With the failure of the LIG Cup and Wuyue Cup men's and women's world championships in mid-December, the entire Chinese chess world has also fallen into dullness as the winter deepens.
There will be no international competitions before the Spring Festival. There are only two title matches in China, [Yixian] and [Queen], followed by the remaining five rounds of the men's regular season.
However, Sun Hou'er and Xiao Xiaoniao, who were frustrated in the international arena, surprisingly quickly adjusted their mood and showed a very strong state in the title battle.
In the end, Sun Yi defeated Ji Qiufui 2-0, and Liu Yuhong defeated Zou Yang 2-0. There were still no personnel changes for the two major titles.
The Siege League is also going on round by round, and this land of China is approaching the Spring Festival of the Year of the Snake as usual...
Finally, the time has come to 2025. January 20th, the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month.
This year’s Siege League ushered in the fifteenth round and the last round of the regular season.
