Chapter 60: Fire and Yuan Feng (1)
"Huh, why is it all in the morning?" When Chen Rui woke up, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. The winter sun shone through the window and felt a little warm. Chen Rui desperately recalled what he had before going to bed yesterday, but the memory became blank after entering the hotel for the second time. He began to feel a little uneasy.
"Chen Rui, are you awake?" Liang Bingchuan happened to come back from outside and saw Chen Rui and asked him with a smile: "Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to confess your love to Su Yao today? Why haven't you been there yet?"
"Confession?" Chen Rui was surprised after hearing Liang Bingchuan's words. "What are you talking nonsense about Gingchuan? Who is going to confess to Su Yao?"
"I don't remember what I said?" Liang Bingchuan walked over and sat on the head of Chen Rui's bed. "What did you say after Huang Zhe sent Su Yao back yesterday? Both of them swear to say that they would go to confess their love to Su Yao today, have you forgotten?"
Even though Chen Rui was thick and thick, he still blushed when he heard Liang Bingchuan say this. Yesterday, he must have told everything about his liking Su Yao after getting drunk yesterday, and it became a well-known secret. However, Chen Rui immediately thought of another thing, "Gingchuan, did you just say Huang Zhe also said yesterday that he was going to confess his love to Su Yao today?"
"Tsk! You two big men competed one by one yesterday and said that they must explain clearly to Su Yao in person. Today, they were so timid that they were so brave." Liang Bingchuan looked at Chen Rui's blushing face and felt a little funny. "Don't worry, Huang Zhe is thinner than you. Song He just called me and said that they had bought the train ticket for noon and were leaving today. I hope we will go to Chenyang for fun next time."
"Leave?" Chen Rui felt a sense of loss when he heard that Huang Zhe and the others had already left. Now, on the road to pursuing Su Yao, he was the only one who fought alone.
"Chen Rui is happy to hear that his love rival has left?" Liang Bingchuan could not understand Chen Rui's sympathy for Huang Zhe at all. "Then are you going to confess your love to Su Yao today?"
"This..." Chen Rui hesitated after Liang Bingchuan said this. Yesterday, under the double stimulation of Huang Zhe of alcohol, he said what he wanted to confess to Su Yao today. But now that the wine has sobered up, Huang Zhe has left, he really has no courage.
Seeing that Chen Rui didn't say anything, Liang Bingchuan patted his shoulder. "Since Chen Rui decided to chase him, he should start the action as soon as possible. Although Huang Zhe left today, he might be sure that Li Zhe, Zhao Zhe will come. Let's take action first and then take action to the death." As he said that, he smiled, "Anyway, I will support you with all my strength."
"President!" Chen Rui was moved to tears when he heard Liang Bingchuan say "I will definitely live up to your expectations. When I return to Chongqing this time, I will definitely launch a full-scale offensive!"
After hearing Chen Rui say that Liang Bingchuan was a little disappointed. He had just spent so much saliva just now, just hoping that Chen Rui would start pursuing Su Yao today so that he could see a wonderful show immediately. Who knew that Chen Rui's habit of being timid in this regard was so deeply rooted, but he still tried every means to drag things back to return to Chongqing. "Then he had to go back to Chongqing and watch his performance." Liang Bingchuan was very regretful, but at the same time he was full of expectations.
Next, the college student Go League entered the cruel knockout stage. The heavy and small pig teams were lucky. Their top 16 opponents were Northwestern University teams that stumbled from Group A. Northwestern University’s football and basketball are very famous in the university community, but Go is their weakness. The players of the heavy and small pig teams played normally, except Liang Bingchuan, who lost to the opponent’s main players due to their strength, and Fang Tianwai, Tang Li, Su Yao, and Chen Rui, all successfully defeated their opponents. The heavy and small pig teams successfully entered the top 8 with a score of 3:1.
Their opponent in the quarterfinals is the old enemy - the Southwest Normal University team led by Yuan Feng.
"What are your good ways to compete with Southwest Normal University for the top 4 seats this time?" As soon as Liang Bingchuan learned about the matchup situation in the top 8, he called Su Yao and the others into the room to discuss countermeasures.
Although Southwest Normal University's lineup seems to be far less powerful than Shanghai Jiaotong University, they all know that the opponent in this game is more terrifying than Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Yuan Feng and Gu Li are known as the Gemini constellation in the Chongqing professional Go world. Although he is only in the second stage of his career, his strength is almost without rivals in the Chongqing Go world. Anyone from the heavy and small pig teams is probably in danger of fighting him. Peng Xianqi and Xu Gangwei are both top experts in the amateurs, especially Peng Xianqi has made great progress since his last loss to Chen Rui in a friendly match. This time he came to participate in the college Go league. Fortunately, he was in a row with Qiu Jun of Shanghai Jiaotong University in one game. Although their fourth player, Song Yimin, is not very famous, judging from the strength he showed in the previous few games, his level should be above the average amateur 5th stage.
"This game is not easy to play." Tang Li was very worried. She and Yuan Feng were both professional chess players in Chongqing and they knew each other very well. "Just talk about Yuan Feng, I'm afraid that only Gu Li can match him can say that he has a greater chance of winning. Others may only be able to die if they go up."
"He isn't very powerful, right?" Chen Rui disliked hearing others say good things about Yuan Feng the most. "If Tang Li meets him, how many layers of confidence are there?"
"Me?" Tang Li shook her head after Chen Rui asked, "He is so familiar with my chess style. If I meet him, I will probably only have two levels of confidence and the premise is that he is in a state of abnormal movement."
"It seems that we can only make a fuss about their other three chess players." Liang Bingchuan sighed. The rules of the knockout match determine the winner and the loss. If that is true, Southwest Normal University will undoubtedly send their ace player Yuan Feng, so the 2-2 draw is no different from losing.
As a partner for many years, Su Yao certainly knew what Liang Bingchuan was thinking. Although the heavy and small pig teams can reach the top 8, it can be considered as a level of performance, but everyone still hopes to go further.
"But it is basically an impossible task to maintain a complete victory over the other three." Su Yao said carefully. She had to explain the situation she was facing clearly and could not dampen the enthusiasm of others.
"Tang Li must avoid Yuan Feng in the first place. It is best to be able to fight Peng Xianqi, the strongest in the West Division except Yuan Feng."
"And I, Liang Bingchuan and Shen Rui, no matter who they meet, they meet the other two players of the Western Division, must not miss it."
"Oh, it's not easy to deal with." Liang Bingchuan frowned after hearing the two points raised by Su Yao. Even if Tang Li can face Peng Xianqi, she and Su Yao can face any of the other two, and she dare not say that she has the confidence to win, especially her chances of winning are probably below 40%. Chen Rui is a novice who has no real practical experience. Anyone who swings well can win but no one dares to lose.
The most relaxed thing for the four people now is Chen Rui. He actually wanted to touch the Western Division led by Yuan Feng on the field. First, he was unspeakable happy when he saw Yuan Feng and Su Yao standing on the hostile front. Second, Chen Rui still has some confidence in his strength now, especially after losing to Qiu Jun in the last set because of the last mistake, he was even more eager to fight with Yuan Feng. Chen Rui wanted to not make mistakes and seize the opportunity and might defeat Yuan Feng on the chessboard in one fell swoop. In this way, his weight on the balance in Su Yao's heart will definitely increase heavily. After returning to Chongqing, he will be able to achieve great success in pursuing Su Yao.
"Glacier, Su Yao, I think you don't have too much ambition to destroy your own might." Chen Rui said loudly, "No matter what, we rely on our own strength to reach the top 8. Are we not? Tang Li, Su Yao, Glacier, who dares to say they are sure to beat you?" Chen Rui said in one breath and said nothing, and the three of them did not speak out and added: "As for Yuan Feng, I don't think they will be powerful in the sky. Maybe I can eat a few one-eyed dragons of him?"
The tense atmosphere was finally diluted by Chen Rui's words. Tang Li even burst out laughing. Liang Bingchuan didn't seem to want everyone to get nervous so early. He said, "What Chen Rui said makes sense. We should still focus on me in the game. But we can't prepare at all without doing tomorrow's scheduling situation. Tang Li, let's change the order of appearance between you and me."
