Chapter 73 A New Rival Appears! (2): Guess Who I Am

With Jian Liyun interrupting Yan Sui, Qin Di was completely left out.

After Yan Sui confirmed several times that Jian Liyun was alright, she turned to Qin Di, "Xiao Qin, um..."

Qin Di raised an innocent smile: "Sister Sui Sui, can we start eating now?"

Yan Sui nodded, then patted Jian Liyun's hand, which was still intertwined with hers, and said, "You and Tian Tian can sit across from us."

Lu Shutian slowly took her seat. Looking at Qin Di's smile sitting opposite her, she felt it was extremely irritating.

Isn't it just pretending to be innocent? Anyone can do that.

Lu Shutian smiled sweetly and said to Yan Sui in a coquettish tone, "Sister, we've been making these dishes for a long time today. My arm got splattered with oil while we were cooking."

Yan Sui looked anxious. "Are you alright? Does it hurt? Did you get blisters? Will it leave a scar? Maybe we should hire a chef later?"

Jian Liyun remained silent.

Lu Shutian was indeed splashed with oil while cooking.

It cannot be described as a burn; it can only be described as completely unharmed.

Lu Shutian pouted, "I'm fine, sister. There shouldn't be anyone else in the house." She glanced lightly at Qin Di next to Yan Sui, then added in a sticky tone, "The food is more heartfelt when it's cooked by ourselves."

Yan Sui had no choice but to shake her head with a smile, "I can't argue with you."

She picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and Jian Liyun and Lu Shutian's eyes were immediately drawn to the tempting-looking ribs.

The same situation occurred in the previous world, and Yan Sui made up her mind and ate the piece of meat herself.

now……

Lu Shutian was filled with anticipation.

Of course, the same goes for Jian Liyun.

Unexpectedly, Yan Sui turned around and placed the sweet and sour pork ribs precisely into Qin Di's bowl.

"Xiao Qin, try your sister Lu's cooking. Even though you're over eighteen, your growth won't stop. Eat more meat, maybe you'll grow taller..." Yan Sui said with a smile, then couldn't help but mutter, "Although you're already quite tall, you'd be great as a model if you stopped playing Go."

Standing at 1.75 meters tall, Qin Di smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Sister Sui Sui. I will try my best to grow taller."

She took a bite of the rib and nodded repeatedly, "Sister Lu's cooking is really good, it's delicious."

Lu Shutian paused, then nudged the silent woman beside her with her elbow.

Why am I the only one talking? Why don't you say something too?

Jian Liyun then said gently, "Sui Sui, you're off tomorrow, right?"

Yan Sui hummed in agreement, "I can rest tomorrow and the day after. I've participated in so many matches recently, it's time to relax and rest."

Qin Di, with an expression of admiration, naturally joined their conversation, "Yes, Sister Sui Sui won all the competitions she participated in recently," she emphasized, "all the competitions, even the exhibition match against artificial intelligence!"

Even though Yan Sui was the winner, Qin Di seemed even more excited than the person involved.

"I knew it! As long as Sister Sui Sui is willing to return to the world of Go, she will definitely shine as brightly as before!"

Sparkling.

These four words made Yan Sui lose her composure.

She suddenly remembered what the little bird had said: it hoped that Yan Sui's life would be smooth sailing and shine brightly.

She's now... pretty much shining, right?

Yan Sui smiled, a rare moment of teasing in her eyes, "But Xiao Qin, there can only be one champion. If I get first place, you can only get..."

“It’s okay,” Qin Di interrupted, her expression firm. “Sister Sui Sui, it was because of you that I decided to start learning Go.”

Lu Shutian's knuckles were white as she gripped the chopsticks, and she clenched her teeth tightly.

You underestimated your enemy; he's a master.

Jian Liyun, standing to the side, continued eating her meal with a normal expression, as if even if the sky were to fall, she would still eat her fill first.

Qin Di had been looking at Yan Sui with a determined expression, but for some reason, she turned her gaze away and lowered her head.

Looking at the rice in her bowl, Qin Di's voice wasn't as excited as before. "Back then... I saw Sister Sui Sui's match on TV. You were only ten years old then, but you already looked like a very reliable player. My mother asked me if I was interested in learning, and I chose Go."

"After I officially started learning Go, I carefully studied every game that Sister Sui Sui participated in publicly."

Qin Di's voice grew softer and softer, "Every chess player develops a fixed style in the later stages. Although everyone says that Sister Sui Sui's style is saintly, in reality, Sister Sui Sui's style is unpredictable."

Yan Sui's chess style is gentle, yet unpredictable.

This style of play annoys some players, but fascinates Qin Di.

“Actually…” Qin Di pursed her lips, then said frankly, “I’m a very impatient person. I do many things half-heartedly, but I’ve persisted with Go until now. The reason I’ve persisted is because I’ve always thought that one day…”

Qin Di's eyes reddened.

She held back her sobs, trying her best to keep her voice calm, "One day, I'll be able to play a game of chess with Sister Sui Sui."

As a prominent figure in the Go world, Yan Sui stands at the summit, and Qin Di has been striving to catch up with this person who is so far ahead of her.

From participating in the professional ranking tournament and successfully achieving the 9th dan rank, to starting to participate in various professional competitions, Qin Di always tried her best to keep up with Yan Sui's pace. Just when she was finally qualified to compete with Yan Sui, she received the news that Yan Sui had suddenly retired from the Go world.

Qin Di didn't know what to do. She had tried playing chess with Yan Sui, but her sister didn't resemble Yan Sui at all.

She once thought she would never be able to fulfill her childhood wish in this lifetime.

Yan Sui put down her chopsticks, took out a tissue and handed it to Qin Di, "Little Qin, in the world of Go, we don't pick up the pieces to play against someone. Our only real opponent is ourselves."

“Sister Sui Sui is no match for me,” Qin Di wiped her eyes with a tissue, “Yes…”

“Alright,” Jian Liyun interrupted abruptly, smiling at the two people opposite her. “It’s not appropriate to say sad things at the dinner table. If you cry too much, you won’t be able to eat.”

Yan Sui also expressed her agreement.

She smiled and comforted him, "Alright, I'm back now, aren't I? If you still want to play chess with me, feel free to contact me anytime. I'll play with you whenever I'm free."

As long as Yan Sui is free?

Lu Shutian almost poked the rice in her bowl to pieces with her chopsticks.

She thought to herself, Yan Sui's time, apart from Go, should belong only to her—

Oh, let's reluctantly include Jian Liyun as well.

If there were another woman, Lu Shutian would really go crazy.

After finishing her meal, Jian Liyun received a phone call and then apologized, saying that she had to leave early due to unforeseen circumstances.

Although Yan Sui was a little reluctant, she made sure to let the other person focus on their business first.

"Xiao Qin, let me take you down the mountain," Jian Liyun said gently, putting on her coat.

Qin Di, who originally wanted to chat with Yan Sui, was half-pushed and half-forced to go down the mountain in a daze.

When only the two of them remained in the huge villa, Lu Shutian's smile vanished.

Yan Sui was still somewhat moved and completely oblivious to the strange behavior of the person next to her.

"Sigh, I never imagined that Xiao Qin was carrying such a heavy burden. If I had known she wanted to play Go with me so much, I would have definitely..."

“Sister.” Lu Shutian suddenly interrupted.

"Um?"

Lu Shutian gently pinched the soft flesh on Yan Sui's arm, "You've lost weight recently."

Yan Sui was both amused and exasperated. "I haven't lost weight. You're just using a filter, making me look thinner."

Lu Shutian remained silent, but simply picked Yan Sui up in her arms.

Yan Sui has now gotten used to the other party's sudden actions.

She swung her leg slightly and poked Lu Shutian's collarbone. "Want to take a shower first? Oh, I forgot to ask if Li Yun will be back tonight."

Whether she comes back or not doesn't affect me...

Lu Shutian whispered three words in Yan Sui's ear, and Yan Sui pursed her lips, her ears turning red.

Yan Sui belatedly realized the reason why Lu Shutian was in a bad mood.

"Are you unhappy because of Xiao Qin? Tian Tian, ​​don't overthink it. That child and I are just kindred spirits as fellow chess players, we..."

“Sister,” Lu Shutian said, her tone unreadable, “you should be glad that you have the next two days off.”

Yan Sui froze, trying to salvage the situation, but it was too late.

...

"I really don't want it anymore..."

Yan Sui cried and begged for mercy. She felt as if she had briefly suffocated, then suddenly opened her eyes—

It was still pitch black.

What happened?

After an intense lovemaking session that lasted for an unknown period of time, Yan Sui's consciousness was already in a state of confusion, but she didn't feel sticky at all. She felt refreshed and had changed into a new nightgown.

Yan Sui blinked again, and the touch from her eyelashes made her realize what had happened.

In short, after Lu Shutian knocked her unconscious on the bed, she dreamed that she had been knocked unconscious. She woke up halfway through the dream, only to be greeted by complete darkness.

She was blindfolded.

Yan Sui raised her right hand, trying to pull off the blindfold, but found she couldn't lift her hand.

With her right hand restricted, she exerted a little force and heard the clanging of the chains.

Yan Sui resignedly lowered her right hand.

If I can't use my right hand, I can always use my left...

Just as Yan Sui was about to raise her left hand, another hand pressed down on her left wrist.

Yan Sui instantly got goosebumps. She took a breath and said in a tone of anger, "Why didn't you say anything when you were standing there!"

Even knowing that she should be in the basement of this villa, Yan Sui was still startled.

Her lips were still a little swollen. Yan Sui licked her lower lip, about to call out someone's name, but suddenly stopped.

Who exactly is this person gripping her wrist?

Jian Liyun and Lu Shutian's hands were already very similar, and with this hand also wearing a leather glove, Yan Sui couldn't tell who this person was at all.

Seeing that Yan Sui remained silent, a woman's soft laughter suddenly filled the room.

The sound was too soft for Yan Sui to discern whose laughter it was.

Could it be Lu Shutian?

But Yan Sui didn't know how long she had slept. If it was the second day now, would Jian Liyun have already returned?

Yan Sui has now completely lost control of time; to be precise, she can no longer control anything.

All she could hear was the woman's soft laughter and a faint fragrance in the air.

It's a fragrance that blends jasmine and lychee scents.

Yan Sui suddenly felt thirsty.

She said hoarsely, "I'm thirsty."

Another hand wearing a leather glove pinched Yan Sui's chin, and then that hand extended its thumb and pressed down on her lower lip with just the right amount of pressure.

He inserted his thumb into Yan Sui's mouth, and Yan Sui's jaw opened slightly. "I, um..."

She is currently unable to speak clearly, and it is clear that this person has no intention of offering her water.

Yan Sui's left hand was also covered with something cold at some point. The hand wearing a leather glove was slowly unbuttoning the front of Yan Sui's nightgown.

Yan Sui unconsciously swallowed, but her throat was still incredibly dry.

She dared not speak.

Although Yan Sui still occasionally goes into a daze, her sixth sense tells her that if she's guessed the wrong person, she should...

It's hard to leave this place.
