Xiao Tong was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling, and introduced Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo's identities.
"Good morning, Master Cui."
Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo took the initiative to greet him, and their attitude was very respectful, because this master deserved to be respected.
Cui Shi stood up, bowed humbly, and even seemed a little shy. In fact, he was just a young man in his early twenties who had no dating experience. He would blush when he saw a girl and stutter when he spoke, especially when it came to a beautiful girl like Ye Qingqing, which made Master Cui's heart almost jump out of his chest.
Ye Qingqing found it amusing. Just a moment ago he had the air of a master, but now he had become a naive young man. It was obvious that this internationally renowned master was a pure-hearted boy who had never been in a relationship.
"We've come to pick up Xiaotong for a day trip to Hakone. Master Nie and Master Cui, would you like to go to the hot springs together?" Lu Mo invited.
Master Nie agreed without hesitation. He was practically moldy in the hotel, so a trip to Hakone would be a good idea.
Cui Shi's expression softened. He had actually wanted to go, but he had come at the invitation of the local Go Association, and the itinerary was arranged by the association. Out of courtesy, he could not act on his own.
Master Nie could tell that he wanted to go, so he said, "I'll talk to the association director for you. I have a pretty good relationship with him."
He used to come here often for competitions and visits, and even lived here for several years. Speaking of which, Master Nie's prestige here is even higher than Cui Shi's, so he has a very good and familiar relationship with local Go players and people related to Go.
Master Nie called the council member in charge of the itinerary and talked non-stop. Ye Qingqing was surprised that the master could speak fluent Mandarin. Indeed, geniuses learn everything quickly.
After talking for several minutes, Master Nie hung up the phone and raised an eyebrow triumphantly at Cui Shi, "It's settled, we'll go back to the hotel tonight."
Cui Shi smiled happily and gave Master Nie a thumbs up. He was actually quite bored and it would be good to go out for a walk.
It's just a one-day trip, so there's no need to pack luggage. However, Cui Shi brought two assistants who wouldn't leave his side for a moment, following him closely. Master Nie also brought an assistant. They are all national treasures, so of course they have to be kept a close watch on them.
The car was arranged by Minami Tsumabuki; it was a very comfortable minivan that could seat more than ten people, which was just right for their large group, as if it had been planned perfectly.
However, because Hakone is located in the mountains, the entire journey is along winding mountain roads. Although the driver drove very steadily, people with poor physical condition would definitely not be able to handle it. Ye Qingqing felt dizzy, but she felt much better after practicing her exercises.
Sweetie and Xiaotong were both carsick and were sleeping on Zhu Zi and Ye Mingcheng's laps. Ye Qingqing noticed that Cui Shi's face was getting paler and paler, and he kept covering his mouth with his hand with his hand, his brows furrowed. He looked like he was also carsick and wanted to vomit.
"Pinch the space between your thumb and index finger firmly; it will feel better," Ye Qingqing suggested.
Pressing the tiger's mouth (the area between the thumb and index finger) can quickly stop vomiting; this method is most effective when you are carsick.
Cui Shi hesitated for a moment, then decided to try Ye Qingqing's method. He was feeling really unwell, and it would be too impolite to vomit in the car.
He pressed hard on the web between his thumb and forefinger, which hurt terribly, but the effect was obvious. Cui Shi soon felt much better in his chest, and the nausea also subsided.
"Thank you, I feel much better now," Cui Shi said gratefully.
Ye Qingqing smiled, thinking that it would be best to give her an acupuncture needle, but since she was a national treasure, she dared not give her a needle rashly. Just pinching her like this was fine too.
