Chapter 620 Of course!
"...Eh?"
The moment he heard the question clearly, Rui Zhao, who was in front of Lei Qi, was obviously stunned.
She blinked her eyes briskly, as if she never thought that the other party would ask such a question.
It was only then that Lei Qi realized that he seemed to have asked something serious.
Oh My God!
You must have burned out your brain after spending so long with Sun Yi today!
What am I asking! ! !
Finding something wrong, Lei Qi quickly argued, ah, no, and explained:
"Uh, no! I mean..."
"...Of course!"
Before Lei Qi could find words to explain, Rui Zhao's voice like a silver bell came, instantly fixing Xiao Lei's 9th Dan on the spot:
"...Eh?"
Looking at Lei Qi's surprised eyes, Rui Zhao thought Lei Qi didn't understand, so he continued to explain:
"That... ...If I could draw you, Lei Qi 9th Dan, I would certainly be happy too!
"Even compared to Liu Shixian's 9th dan, I hope to draw you Lei Qi 9th dan!
"...After all, I have never played against you Lei Qi 9th dan in a game! "
"Ah..."
These words were completely unexpected by Tianyuan Guoshou, and Lei Qi felt at a loss for a while, and even his cheeks felt a little warm. He stopped talking for a long time before saying with some trepidation:
“But I have been losing to Liu Shixian since the game at the Nongshim Cup last year, and I have lost eight consecutive games...
"I'm not as powerful as him..."
However, Rui Zhao didn't seem to think so about Lei Qi's statement, and shook his head directly:
"No!
< br>“Although past wins and losses are a record of strength, people will always make continuous progress!
“You may not have been as good at Lei Qi Jiudan as Liu Jiuduan before, but judging from recent chess, I think it’s very, very close! The game in the Sanshuang Cup semi-finals was really just a little bit worse!
"If you meet Liu 9th Dan again this time, Lei Qi 9th Dan, you will definitely have a chance!
"Just like I lost three consecutive games to Jin Youen 9th Dan! But now, I am still very confident to fight her! "
...Eh?
She said...
Ryu Se-hyun and I are already quite close?!
Hearing this, Lei Qi was extremely surprised, and even subconsciously wanted to be humble!
But when he thought about it, he had already shown some weakness just now, but it was his "strong enemy" who believed in him.
If you still say cowardly things now, that would be so unmanly!
“Uh...thank you, thank you.
“I will try my best this time! ”
Lei Qi said something a little embarrassed. His mood, which was still a little irritable, suddenly felt much cleaner as if being blown by the breeze. His body, which had previously felt heavy, gradually began to relax.
"Yeah, come on!"
Rui Zhao showed a naive smile, and then tried to ask a little cautiously:
"But... Lei Qi Jiudan.
"Listen to what you want...
"You don't seem to be opposed to facing me in the game?"
"Uh..."
Faced with this soul question, the Tianyuan Kingdom player who had been feeling relaxed suddenly felt His face became hot again, and he even subconsciously had the urge to deny it.
——But luckily I held it back.
Just now, people recognized me so much. If I put on a bad face and said "I don't really want to go against you" now, I would be so embarrassed that I would be thrown into my grandma's house!
……well!
Be honest!
Although his cheeks were still a little red, Lei Qi still took a deep breath, tried to appear calm and serious and said:
"Of course I don't reject it!
"You... are already a very powerful chess player, and you will definitely be promoted to ninth dan in the future! He will definitely win the national championship in the unrestricted competition...
"...even won the world championship!" After hesitating for a moment, Lei Qi added a few more words after "national champion" before continuing:
"...We will definitely meet many, many, many times in various competitions in the future!
"Why should I reject such a common thing! ”
After pouring out all the thoughts in his heart, Lei Qi glanced at Rui Zhao subconsciously, fearing that the other party would have some strange reaction to his words.
But after hearing this, Queen Zhaotian was overjoyed:
"Really! That's great!
"I originally thought you wouldn't be willing to meet me... "
"...Huh? !
“Why do you think so?!”
"Uh, that...
"After the last chess holy war, I always felt that you, Lei Qi 9th Dan, have always been lukewarm towards me, and you seemed reluctant to talk to me many times...< br>
“Furthermore, I said some offensive words during the Weijia Awards Ceremony last month.
“I saw that your expression was not very happy at that time, so I thought, you You definitely don’t like me very much, so I don’t dare to mention it again if I want to meet you in a competition..."
Hmm...
Although she didn't guess correctly in some parts, she wasn't completely stupid...
Lei Qi secretly thought in his heart, but his face showed indescribable embarrassment, and he quickly squeezed out the words:
"What the hell! Don't make random guesses based on your own imagination!
"We will draw lots later, and I will be very happy if I can get you...
"...Bi, after all, you are relatively the weakest! Uh..."
Lei Qi, who was mid-sentence, hurriedly added an explanation at the end, fearing that the other party would mistakenly think that he had some strange meaning.
But as soon as the last hastily added words came out, Lei Qi felt that something didn't sound right, and he became entangled again.
But...
Rui Zhao didn't seem to care at all about being called the "weakest", and just replied with a smile:
"This is true! But I also I will continue to work hard to become stronger!
"Then...Lei Qi 9th Dan, it's almost time, let's go draw lots!
"I hope...we can draw each other! "
"...Hmm. "
Faced with the other party's active invitation and the wish of "hoping to get each other", the young leader of the future of China felt a slight tremor in his heart, so that at this time he just subconsciously did He replied without any other words or actions.
On the other hand, Rui Zhao took out the card and went out without saying a word. He picked up Lei Qi, who was still a little relieved, and walked to the elevator:
"Okay, Lei Qi 9th Dan, let's go!
"Oh, that's right! If you really get it, you must go all out!
"Don't forget that you promised me during the Ge Cup last year that you would not show mercy to me!"
"Ah..."
Listen At this point, Xiaolei Jiuduan Naoren suddenly felt pain when he recalled the situation at that time...
What did I say back then? ! !
Fortunately, she is an idiot who only knows how to play chess, otherwise I don’t know how many times she would have been rolled her eyes behind her back!
However, even at this time Lei Qi felt that his toes were on the ground due to his behavior at that time, but seeing the bright smile of the current Zhaojun, the Tianyuan national player still said seriously with some emotion:
"...Don't worry about that!
"For you...
"I have never neglected."
…
…
However…although these two young supernovas in the Chinese chess world have some concerns about the draw that is about to begin. Looking forward to it, but in the end things did not develop according to the expectations of the parties involved...
Twenty minutes later, the semi-final matchup of the 15th Spring Orchid Cup in 2025 was officially announced:
< br>
[Lei Qi] versus [Liu Shixian]
[Rui Zhao] versus [Zhu Yuanjun]
