An Impossible to Reject Confession

After lunch, Qiao Mu took Xu Youyou to the club where she competed. When she went to the club, Xu Youyou mentioned that she wanted to see where Qiao Mu was competing. Because the game in the hall was not completely over, and they couldn't visit inside, the two watched it outside, and then went to the nearby pedestrian street.

The business circle around the Go Club is naturally heavier. At first glance, it looks a bit like the pedestrian street Xu Youyou saw in J City. But this is City B, the venue for the national Go game, and its commercial prosperity is naturally much stronger than that of City J.

Xu Youyou held a cup of milk tea and looked at it as she walked, her eyes full of curiosity.

"There are many more people here than in J City." Xu Youyou said.

"There are several chess clubs around here, and during the fixed stage competition, it will definitely be lively." In fact, it was more lively some time ago, and now the fixed stage competition is coming to an end. There are not many hands left.

"Do you come here often?"

"No, I only had dinner with Li Xiuran and passed by once."

"Yes."

"What did you guys talk about?" Xu Youyou was afraid that she was asking too bluntly, so she added two sentences, "Isn't he a professional chess player? Is there any difference from before, I I've never seen a professional chess player, so I'm curious."

"It's nothing different, I still play chess all day long, the only difference is that I used to spend money to learn chess, but now I can make money playing chess." Qiao Mu smiled, "He entered a very A good team, flying all over the country, came back yesterday and took time to have a meal with me, and flew away today, too busy."

When Qiao Mu was talking, Xu Youyou had been carefully observing his expression. She found that when Li Xiuran was mentioned, Qiao Mu's expression was always happy, which shows that yesterday's meal should be quite pleasant .

If it wasn't for that meal, why did Arbor suddenly get sick?

"Is that restaurant delicious?"

"The taste is okay." Qiao Mu nodded.

"Then let's go when your uncle and Lu Shi come tonight." Originally, she should have arrived this evening, but last night an impulse came a day earlier.

The expression on Qiao Mu's face was stiff for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "Okay."

It seems to be the matter of that hotel, but don't worry, she will stay here for a few days.

"By the way, did you call Aunt Ji?" Thinking of the uncle who was coming over today, Qiao Mu suddenly thought of Xu Youyou's mother, Ms. Ji, Xu Youyou came over in the middle of the night and called Aunt Ji The degree of pampering her daughter will definitely not let her take a red-eye flight to save money. So the only possibility is that Xu Youyou came over last night and didn't tell Ms. Ji.

"I sent her a WeChat message when I was in the taxi, and I will make a video with her in the evening." Xu Youyou said.

"Call now, Aunt Ji will be anxious."

"She asked me to call at night, and said she would make me sleep well during the day."

"You came over suddenly, did Aunt Ji tell you, do you want me to explain it to you?"

"No." Xu Youyou said indifferently, "I said I came to City B, and my mother sighed and asked me to bring her roast duck when I go back."

"..." Aunt Ji is really a big heart, or is the education method abroad different from the domestic one?

At the beginning, Xu Youyou didn't find it strange. After Qiaomu successfully lost weight, because of his excessively beautiful appearance, people would always look at him twice on the road, but Qiaomu is not a star after all. Don't bother. But now, passers-by not only look at them, some even take pictures of them directly with their mobile phones.

"What are you taking?" Xu Youyou walked over to the person closest to her and snatched the other person's phone.

"Youyou." Qiao Mu was afraid that Xu Youyou would suffer, and followed closely.

The person Xu Youyou robbed of his mobile phone was a boy who looked like a college student, maybe because of a guilty conscience, or maybe because Xu Youyou was a girl, the boy was not angry, but apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll delete it right away."

"Why did you shoot us?" Xu Youyou asked.

"I photographed him." Seeing that both of them looked at him with strange eyes, the boy knew that the other had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "He is Qiao Mu, the son of the chess **** Qiao Dongyuan. ."

Most of the people who can walk in this business circle are Go lovers. In addition, Qiao Dongyuan is already very well-known, so there are very few people who don't know him.

Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment, and Xu Youyou was stunned for a while before asking, "How do you know?"

"It's on the hot search, haven't you seen it?" said the boy.

The son of the chess **** Qiao Dongyuan is very handsome.

Qiao Mu, the son of the chess **** Qiao Dongyuan, will decide the stage this year.

The son of the chess **** Qiao Dongyuan and his ex-wife.

How good is the son of the chess god?

…

The Go prodigy who once fell.

The top is the discussion about the appearance of the tree, and the bottom is about the failure of the tree. Xu Youyou guessed that this hot search should have just come out. At the beginning, everyone's discussion should only be about Qiaomu's appearance and his relationship with Qiao Dongyuan, but as the topic gets higher and higher, Qiaomu's past will definitely be discussed again. Turning it out, after all, the failure of Qiao Mu's Ding Duan was considered a big news in the Go world.

"Isn't that saying that Go doesn't get much attention? Why is it so popular?" Xu Youyou said puzzled.

"If it was just an ordinary chess player, he would definitely not be on the hot search, but he is the son of a chess god, and he has grown so handsome." A few people gathered, and one of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls heard Xu Youyou's words and interjected, "Now, as long as you look good, even if you sit in the library and read a book, you can get a hot search. There is a star in the entertainment industry. , isn't the one named Lu Shi the one who got caught up in a photo of a tourist in Hongluo Ancient Town?"

Xu Youyou turned to look at Qiaomu, and found that Qiaomu was always looking at the phone, not saying a word or moving. Looking at the more and more people around, Xu Youyou could only return the cell phone he had snatched to the boy just now, and then dragged Qiao Mutuo and left without returning.

Back to the hotel, as soon as the two entered the lobby, they met the hotel owner. The owner is a Go lover. In today's China, as long as you are a Go lover, there is no one who doesn't like Qiao Dongyuan.

"Qiao Mu, I didn't expect you to be Teacher Qiao's son, no wonder you have the same last name..."

"Let me go!" Xu Youyou interrupted the boss with a bad expression, and took Qiao Mu all the way back to the room.

The boss looked puzzled, but soon guests arrived, diverting his attention.

"Qiaomu, don't think too much, just play well." In the room, Xu Youyou was comforting Qiaomu. There are only six days left in the competition, and if you win the abnormal tree again, you will pass the fixed stage competition. If you are lucky, the competition will end early tomorrow.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qiao Mu was very silent along the way, but at this time his expression seemed to be relatively relaxed, "When I decided to participate in the fixed stage competition, I knew that there would be such a situation. one day."

He is Qiao Dongyuan's son, a once high-profile Go prodigy, who once failed to set a stage, these are hard facts. Unless he never touches Go, as long as he touches it, these things will definitely be mentioned, so he is mentally prepared for these things. His psychological shadow, in addition to what his mother gave him, also came from Qiao Dongyuan and these external pressures. Only by overcoming all these and completely focusing on Go can he be considered to stand up again.

It's one thing to be mentally prepared, but it's another thing to face it, just like he thought he would meet Qiao Dongyuan when he came to City B, but he would still feel uncomfortable when he saw him. The only good thing is that when the unbearable past was turned out, someone was by his side.

On the way back, Xu Youyou always held his hand tightly.

Xu Youyou heard Qiao Mu say this, and her hanging heart relaxed a lot: "Then don't go online for the past two days, prepare for the game with peace of mind, anyway, if you win one more game, you will be successful. already."

"Okay." Qiaomu doesn't like to brush Weibo either.

"Take a taxi to the game tomorrow." There were people watching all the way back just now. Xu Youyou was afraid that Qiaomu would take the subway to the game tomorrow, and being watched on the road would affect the state of the game.

"It doesn't matter, these things have to be faced." Qiao Mu was calmer than Xu Youyou.

"The face must be faced, but that is after the game. Moreover, this kind of hot search, as long as you ignore it, it will stop in two days. Lu Shi's size is also one A traffic star, he can't stay on the hot search for a few hours." Xu Youyou came out as an example.

As the saying goes, don't tell anyone behind her back. As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Mu's cell phone rang, and it happened to be Lu Shi.

The tree is connected.

"Qiao Mu, how are you? I just saw the hot search after school here. Don't be afraid, I have already found Sister Xing, and I asked her to remove the hot search." Searching and withdrawing hot searches is something that no one plays more than the entertainment industry.

"Don't waste your money." Qiao Mu said.

"It's okay, my studio has a partnership with the other company, and I signed a yearly package, so I don't need it for nothing." Lu Shi said.

After speaking, Xu Youyou looked up and met Qiao Mu's surprised gaze: "Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"

"I'm not... I didn't expect to be able to withdraw from the hot search." Xu Youyou laughed, "What, I didn't expect Lu Shi to be useful."

"I haven't hung up yet." Qiao Mu reminded helplessly.

Sure enough, on the other end of the phone, Lu Shi shouted angrily on the spot after hearing Xu Youyou's words.

Xu Youyou ignored the roar on the other end of the phone and said to Qiao Mu, "What, I'll go outside and open another room, otherwise there will be nowhere to stay at night."

Qiao Mu heard the words, and then remembered: "I'll go."

"It's okay, I'll go, you can continue talking to Lu Shi."

"No, the conditions here are limited, and some rooms are outdated. I know the boss. If I go, I can get a better room." Qiao Mu explained.

"Alright then." Xu Youyou felt that Qiao Mu was right.

Qiao Mu hung up Lu Shi's phone, took Xu Youyou's ID card and went to the front desk, and told the boss about his intentions. Hearing this, the boss immediately opened the best room for Qiao Mu at the employee price.

"Thank you boss." Qiao Mu politely thanked.

"It's alright, that... don't pay too much attention to those words on the Internet, just concentrate on playing chess." At this time, the boss looked at Qiao Mu's eyes with a hint of pity, and the former The excitement when I found out from the Internet that he was the son of a chess **** was completely different.

Qiao Mu thanked again with a calm expression, took the room card and ID card, turned around and opened Weibo, the first page of the hot search:

Qiao Mu, the son of the chess god, suffers from a serious mental illness.

Qiao Mu, the new go-go god, used to be a fat man.

Qiao Mu seems to have committed suicide.

Qiao Mu's eyes narrowed, and he probably guessed why Xu Youyou suddenly insisted on Lu Shi to delete the hot search.

Just when Qiao Mu was trying to calm down and going back to his room after pretending that he didn't have anything, Lu Shi's WeChat message came over.

Lu Shi: [Xu Youyou went there last night, you just opened a room for her, so where did she live last night? 】

Lu Shi: [You guys sleep in one room? 】

Arbor: [Don’t say it outside. 】

Lu Shi: [! ! 】

Lu Shi: [I wipe, I guessed it right? 】

If you want to withdraw, it is too late.
