The two of them had slept for a day. Although it was already past one in the morning, they were not sleepy at all.

Seeing a box of chess in the house, Xia Wanyuan immediately had some thoughts.

Xia Wanyuan’s eyes flickered, and Jun Shiling guessed what she wanted to do. He placed the chessboard by the window and pulled Xia Wanyuan to sit down. The two of them played Go.

The drizzle from the window dripped on the lake. The chess pieces in the house kept falling and intertwining. In this quiet world, it was also a harmonious song.

Xia Wanyuan had been personally taught by a Go Saint in her previous life, so her chess skills were naturally excellent. However, although Jun Shiling could not beat her, he was not at a disadvantage.

The two of them came and went, enough to pass the time at midnight.

At this moment, in the venue of Continent M’s World Go Competition, everyone was focused on the chessboard screen.

On the screen, the white stones had an advantage and were pressing the black stones to the corner of the chessboard.

On the stands, the audience was divided into two sides. One side was supporters of China, and the other was supporters of America.

At this moment, everyone was breathing heavily, afraid that they would disturb everyone’s thoughts.

Another white stone fell. Seeing that the black stones were about to be left with no way to retreat,

The Chinese flag in the stands was clenched tightly in their hands. They were waiting for the referee to announce the final winner.

The coaches were sweating. This was China’s last hope.

After the white stones fell, the black stones did not move for a long time. Just as time was about to end, the black stones moved.

After the black stones were settled, the audience heaved a sigh of relief. This time, China’s champion was confirmed!

Unlike the happy expressions of the audience, the coaches on the stands instantly turned ashen.

As expected, in the next step, the black piece used a move to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, instantly reversing the situation. The white piece that was filled with an advantageous position just now was being chased by the black piece repeatedly.

After five moves, the white piece lost.

Heaven-shaking cheers sounded in the stands. The audience from America raised their flags.

All the lights in the venue were directed at Lawrence from America, and Li Yi, the Chinese chess player, was completely ignored.

On the stands, the audience began to pack their things in disappointment.

“We lost again. F*ck, I won’t watch China’s lousy competition anymore.”

“It’s clearly something that our country has developed for thousands of years, but in the end, we’re not even as good as what they’ve learned for about 200 years. Isn’t it embarrassing? What’s the difference between Chinese players and pigs?”

“How embarrassing. I don’t know how these people have the face to return to China. Their traditional chess skills are really infuriating. If I come to watch this lousy competition again, my surname won’t be Yang!”

The audience cursed and left in front of the coaches. Before leaving, they specially rolled their eyes.

The coach was also very dispirited. He had thought that he was the most likely to win this year, but unfortunately, someone else had taken the championship.

China had a four-thousand-year history of Go, but it had fallen to the point of going to another country to participate in the world competitions. Furthermore, they had even given away the championship.

No Chinese could stand this difference.

Li Yi, the seeded player for the championship, hid the disappointment in his eyes and packed his things to leave.

However, his opponent, Lawrence, stopped him.

At that moment, the spotlight was focused on them. Logically speaking, although he had failed, he should give the champion a friendly hug.

Friendship came first, and competition came second.

However, Li Yi did not want to hug this person.

There were originally six participants in their team, but in the end, only two participants could successfully compete.

The four contestants who could not participate had all been injured to various degrees, which was related to Lawrence and the team behind him.

Seeing the hatred in Li Yi’s eyes, Lawrence smiled smugly and stretched out his arm.

“My dear Chinese friend, I hope to be your opponent next time.”

When he let go of Li Yi, his face was pale. In the eyes of the media, Lawrence looked elegant and natural.

As for this thin and short man from Asia, his face was filled with hostility. One look and one could tell that he was a sore loser.

Li Yi clenched his fists and rejected the photo with Lawrence. He walked down the stage angrily.

When Lawrence left, he whispered in his ear.

“Asian weakling.”
