The Way of the Blind Girl Chess Saint

"Sakuraba-senpai... don't you find it a little strange? With my level of skill, how can I say I want to become a professional Go player? Wang Xi-senpai and the others all think I'm joking."

"Strange? Why? Also, their shock is probably just because your voice is a little too loud. You need to speak more clearly!"

Ji Yingting tilted her head in confusion, the angle of her head causing her long, light green hair to fall casually down her side, the soft light green strands resting on her knees, giving her a slightly lazy and noble look.

"Was my voice really that loud just now?" Xin Yufei blushed again and obediently lowered her head.

“You ask why I’m not surprised you want to become a professional Go player? That’s because… Go is very interesting,” Ji Yingting said softly, without answering Xin Yufei’s question.

Her gentle words made Xin Yufei's gray eyes widen instantly. The curtains behind her were blown by a breeze, and a ray of the setting sun shone in, dyeing the long, green hair in front of her red.

Also because... you like Go.

Chapter 36: Mom pours wine for baby

"Yes, I like Go and I'm interested in it."

These seemingly insignificant reasons alone are enough to motivate me to pursue a career in this field.

Xin Yufei blinked and ran out to get her food.

Today... may be a day that will influence her entire life.

"Sakura, is it alright to have some water? I don't know what kind of drink you want." Wang Xi returned and placed a clear glass of water in front of Ji Sakura.

"Okay, thank you." Ji Yingting carefully picked up the cup and took a small sip.

"Wow!!!! What kind of water is this?! It tastes so good!" Ji Yingting exclaimed happily, and quickly tilted her head back and drank the water in one gulp.

"...Does this have to be so exaggerated?" Wang Xi's lips twitched.

"Hmm? President, what's wrong?" Zhao Xiao had just returned and noticed that Ji Yingting and Wang Xi looked a little off, so he asked in confusion.

"Wang Xi just brought me a super delicious glass of water!! I want more! I want more!!" Ji Yingting stretched her hand towards the sky like a little baby.

"Water?" Zhao Xiao picked up the water glass that Ji Yingting had just used and examined it carefully.

"President Wang Xi, are you trying to scam us? This doesn't seem like water! The residual alcohol smell is so strong!"

"Huh? Isn't it water? I didn't notice it just now, it felt like water." Wang Xi tilted his head in confusion.

"This is clearly high-proof liquor!!"

"Ha! Really? You're kidding, right?" Wang Xi snatched the water glass from Zhao Xiao's hand and brought it to his nose to smell it.

A tear welled up in her eye, and she covered her nose, taking a few steps back. "Ugh, it's so strong! It really is baijiu (Chinese liquor). How strong is it?"

The next second, she suddenly remembered a terrifying fact: Ji Yingting had just... drunk a whole glass of baijiu in one gulp!?

"Ahhh, I want more, I want more, I want more!" Ji Yingting propped her head up with her hands and lay on the table, kicking her legs restlessly and rolling around on the sofa, but accidentally rolled onto the floor.

"Wow, Sakura, why is your face so red?" Wang Xi helped Ji Sakura up, and she immediately nestled on his lap like a little baby.

"So cute!! What happened to Sakuraba-senpai?!" Xin Yufei also happened to be carrying a plate back when she saw Ji Sakuraba turned into a kitten. Her eyes were practically sparkling.

After Wang Xi told everyone that he had accidentally given Ji Yingting some baijiu (Chinese liquor), everyone was somewhat incredulous.

Even before getting drunk, how could someone not realize it's alcohol? Besides... is it possible for a normal person to drink a whole glass of baijiu in one gulp? Impossible, right?

"I suggest giving Sakuraba-senpai some more; she's so cute like this!"

“But I don’t think this is a good idea. Sakura can’t drink anymore. How about we take her home first?” Wang Xi looked at Ji Sakura sitting on her lap with some worry.

"Hmph, you bad woman," Ji Yingting blushed, pursed her lips, and began shaking her green pigtails, slapping Wang Xi's face repeatedly.

Slap slap slap slap slap slap, Wang Xi's face was slapped loudly by Ji Yingting's two light green pigtails.

"Hmph, you brat! Mommy doesn't want you anymore!" Wang Xi angrily threw Ji Yingting back onto the sofa.

"Waaaaah, waaaaah, waaaaah, waaaaah, you're so bad, you're so bad, waaaaah!" Ji Yingting lay on the sofa for a moment, then suddenly put her two legs, which were covered by white stockings, on the dining table.

Then, she started crying like a child, wiping away her tears, leaving everyone standing by stunned.

Seeing this, Xin Yufei immediately stepped forward and helped Ji Yingting into her arms. "Ah, baby, don't cry. Mommy will get you some wine..."

She gently stroked Ji Yingting's head, not realizing for a moment how strange her words had just come out.

Mom pours wine for baby?? Hahahahahaha.

Wang Xi was almost laughing so hard she cried.

"It's all your fault! And you're still laughing!"

Finally, after some discussion, they decided to pour only half a glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Although Ji Yingting looks quite funny... if something really happens to her, she won't be able to participate in tomorrow's competition.

Zhao Xiao carefully carried the liquor over, his expression somewhat frightened. He said, "I just asked, and the alcohol content is 65 degrees! That's quite high! It seems to be just for display."

The strong smell of the wine was so strong that it could be smelled from several meters away, and the group covered their noses in discomfort.

"Wow, President Wang Xi actually gave Sakuraba-senpai this to drink before. Was he trying to murder her? 65 degrees... no normal person could possibly drink that."

Xin Yufei curiously touched her nose. "But speaking of which, Sakuraba-senpai's taste has always been quite unique... She even specially ate a medium-rare steak the other day!!"

"I just didn't realize... that was baijiu (Chinese liquor). Murder and all that is going too far," Wang Xi said, blushing and lowering her head.

Ji Yingting squinted, her face flushed, and collapsed onto Xin Yufei. Luckily, she was light and soft, otherwise Xin Yufei, who was even thinner than her, would have been in trouble.

After Zhao Xiao handed the liquor to Ji Yingting, Ji Yingting stopped making a fuss, sat on Xin Yufei's lap, and took small sips of water.

"Wow... So Senior Ji Yingting can really drink baijiu!!! And she doesn't seem to have any strange reactions, she's just drunk, right?"

Everyone watched with some surprise as Ji Yingting gulped down half a glass of baijiu.

After finishing her drink, Ji Yingting's face turned even redder. She lay lazily on the sofa like a kitten, curling her head up on Xin Yufei's lap, and soon remained motionless.

"Wow, so cute, super cute! Good girl, baby." Xin Yufei felt that she seemed to have fallen asleep, so she let her rest her head on her knees, making her sleeping position a little more comfortable.

"Is she dead?" Wang Xi chuckled and poked Ji Yingting's head.

"Alright, let's eat first, and see if Sakuraba wakes up later."

"Well, Sakuraba-senpai can have dinner after she goes back to my house, or... maybe she can sleep until dawn."

Xin Yufei looked down at Ji Yingting, who was fast asleep. She... was truly beautiful.

but…………

"Mmm, this tastes so good." A trickle of saliva escaped from the corner of Ji Yingting's mouth beneath her beautiful sleeping face.

………………

I've really been too busy writing lately!! When I get to university, I have to register, attend freshman activities, get vaccinated, move dorms, and so on!! Tomorrow I also need to get a phone card and buy a bicycle.

But once I'm done with these busy days, I'll be able to find time to catch up on the updates!!!

Chapter 37: Get Stronger

"So weak... This person is so weak, too weak. He doesn't even have the strength of a 2-dan player. He's not the new captain." The boy with the black watermelon-shaped haircut raised his head slightly and looked at the figure opposite him with his deep pupils.

With his black hair styled in a buzz cut and freckles on his face, he was a rather unremarkable-looking boy.

Wang Jun was thinking when he glanced to his right without realizing it.

"Is that so...? So that's the tactic they're using, Beaver Middle School."

Wang Jun stared at the boy with long sky-blue hair sitting in the vice-general's seat at Beaver Middle School for a while.

However, the blue-haired boy seemed oblivious to his presence, intently engaged in a game of Go with Li Kaixuan, emanating a powerful aura.

If he is the new captain of Beaver Middle School, then Senior Kaixuan's winning percentage should be very low, since he hasn't been focusing on Go for a long time.

However... even if we lose, it's nothing. I didn't care about this childish little competition anyway, and my senior didn't care either. His inner conflict has been resolved.

In just one month... the provincial promotion league, which is held every six months, will begin.

Next, I will be promoted to 5th dan in a month, and then participate in the annual professional assessment three months later.

I will soon become a professional Go player... But what about senior Li Kaixuan...? A hint of worry unconsciously appeared in Wang Jun's dark pupils.

-------------New Moon Province, Dark Moon City.

"Brother, I've decided, I'm going to participate in this year's professional assessment with you!! I'll reach 5th dan in the next provincial competition!!"

In a huge mansion, a girl with blonde curly hair and dressed in gorgeous clothes walked in cheerfully from outside.

The girl's golden hair was dazzling. Unlike Wang Xi's light gold, her golden hair was as bright and sparkling as the sun.

The girl didn't look very old, probably around 13 years old, but she exuded an air of nobility, and her every move was very elegant, with a delicate face.

As soon as the girl finished speaking, the blond boy who was sitting on the ground setting up a chessboard stopped what he was doing and slowly stood up.

The boy had a rather ordinary appearance. He had a head of golden spiky hair, the gold of which was much less dazzling than the girl's blonde hair.

But... what's shocking is his pupils. His two pupils are like two blazing suns, radiating a strong sense of oppression in all directions.

He looked slightly older than the girl, and his clothes were very simple.

Apart from his bright eyes, he was just like an ordinary person.

"Join me in the professional assessment? Your skills are too weak, and besides, there are only 3 spots a year. You're still too inexperienced."

The boy said coldly, his words showing no mercy.

However... although he was speaking to his own sister, his gaze kept wandering.

"Damn it!! How dare they look down on me! Then tell me, brother!! Besides you and Lian Hezhou from Huangyue City, who in Crescent Moon Province is 100% stronger than me? I'm only not at the fifth dan because I haven't participated in enough competitions!"

The blonde girl puffed out her cheeks, somewhat unconvinced, and questioned through gritted teeth.

So what if her brother is two years older than her? It's no big deal!

"If even a weakling like you can pass the professional assessment, it only proves... everyone else is useless, and doesn't prove you're strong. Do you understand?"

"Alright, I need to continue transcribing the score. You should get out of here now," the blond boy said rudely, leaning down at her. He was already getting impatient.
