If she and Xu Ziqin fell into the water together, who would I save?

The short weekend passed by quickly.

After finally enjoying two days of waking up naturally, Yu Shao had to drag himself out of bed at 6:30 AM, get dressed, wash up, and then head out with his backpack.

He bought four beef buns and a bottle of yogurt from the breakfast shop downstairs. After a quick breakfast, Yu Shao hurried to school.

Just as he arrived at the classroom and got to his seat, Yu Shao was instantly stunned.

The reason was simple: for some unknown reason, Zhou De was holding that book, 38 Lectures on Go Fundamentals, again!

Yu Shao knew that Zhou De's initial interest in learning Go was for Conduct Points. Then, he persisted for a few days to spite Yu Shao. But now, he was starting to study it again, which was a bit terrifying!

After all, today was the day of the school's Go lecture. Even if Zhou De was cramming for Conduct Points, it was far too last-minute, and the participants for the challenge matches had already been decided.

Therefore, after careful deduction, Yu Shao could only come to one conclusion about Zhou De's renewed interest in Go—

The world was about to end.

"Old Zhou, is the world about to end?" Yu Shao couldn't help but ask.

"What are you talking about?" Zhou De, not quite understanding Yu Shao's meaning, glanced at him with confusion.

"Then why are you reading a Go book again?" Yu Shao asked.

Zhou De was furious and retorted, "Old Yu, what do you mean? Can't your brother try to defy fate?!"

Yu Shao noticed that "defy fate" had recently become Zhou De's catchphrase.

Yu Shao thought for a moment and spoke in a comforting tone, like a father to his son, "No, Old Zhou, what happened? Tell me properly."

"I'm in love," Zhou De said after a moment's hesitation.

Yu Shao was immediately shocked.

Impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

The world ending was more plausible than Zhou De being in love!

So, Yu Shao calmly considered the situation and asked, "Brother, when you say 'in love'... do you mean you've developed feelings for someone, or that you're actually dating someone?"

"I've developed feelings for someone," Zhou De replied.

Hearing this, Yu Shao breathed a sigh of relief. He took out his English textbook from his bag and asked, "Then aren't you in love every day? Who is it this time? And..."

Yu Shao looked puzzled and asked, "What does this have to do with you reading Go books?"

"You don't know?"

Zhou De said mysteriously, "Senior Wu Shuheng came to our school this morning."

Yu Shao's pupils dilated. He quickly slid his chair away from Zhou De's direction. "You have a crush on him?"

"Pfft! Old Yu, I swear you can't say anything good! I'm a straight guy who can punch through steel! Do you understand what a straight guy is?"

Zhou De angrily continued, "It's his sister, his sister came with him!"

"Oh."

Yu Shao's interest immediately waned. Flipping through his book, he asked, "Is she very good-looking?"

"What do you mean 'very good-looking'? She's exceptionally good-looking!"

"How good-looking?"

"She's comparable to Xu Ziqin."

Yu Shao immediately felt a sense of deep respect. "Then she really must be good-looking."

"And her personality is great too. Although Xu Ziqin is beautiful, it always feels like she's the Mona Lisa—you can only look, but you can't touch."

Zhou De said with a silly grin, "But she's different. She saw me and even smiled and said hello!"

A girl who could smile and say hello to Zhou De?

Yu Shao thought about it and felt that if Zhou De wasn't lying, then Senior Wu Shuheng's sister must indeed have a very good personality.

"So you're planning to learn Go to impress her brother?" Yu Shao asked.

"No, that's not it."

Zhou De shook his head and said, "She's a professional Go player herself, though only a 1-dan."

"Brother, maybe we should just drop it?" Yu Shao said earnestly after some thought, trying to persuade him.

"Why?"

Zhou De looked confused. "Why should I give up when I've finally felt something for someone?"

"Perhaps she really does have a good personality, but a good personality is one thing."

Yu Shao said sincerely, "You have to understand, there isn't a single woman who becomes a professional Go player who is foolish. She's not stupid."

"Yu Shao, I'm going to fight you!"

Zhou De was enraged and immediately prepared to fight Yu Shao for three hundred rounds.

After morning self-study ended, before the classroom could erupt into chaos, Li Kang walked in holding his thermos.

Li Kang stood on the podium and scanned the students below. His gaze was like a silencer; wherever he looked, silence fell. By the time he had swept his eyes across the entire classroom, it was completely quiet.

Once the classroom had settled into silence, Li Kang cleared his throat and announced, "In a moment, your senior, the current professional Go player Wu Shuheng 3-dan, will be holding a Go lecture in the multimedia classroom to promote Go culture."

"Ooh!"

The classroom immediately erupted in noise, and everyone became excited. Even Li Kang's imposing presence couldn't quell the students' enthusiasm.

After all, not having class for a whole morning was enough to make these high schoolers jump for joy.

"Quiet!"

Li Kang frowned. After the classroom quieted down again, he spoke, "If anyone needs to use the restroom, go now. After you're done, meet in the multimedia classroom."

With that, Li Kang left the classroom, thermos in hand.

After Li Kang left, the classroom instantly became rowdy. A group of boys rushed out of the classroom, heading for the multimedia classroom at a sprint.

However, when the boys reached the entrance of the multimedia classroom, they all slowed down simultaneously.

Sitting in the first row of the multimedia classroom was a beautiful girl.

She had long, black hair that reached her waist. Her small face was fair and clean, without a single blemish. Her eyes were as bright and fluid as water. She wore a very simple white shirt, the hem of which was tied and tucked into light blue capri jeans.

She wasn't the type of girl who, at first glance, made an overwhelmingly stunning impression like Xu Ziqin.

She was the type who, upon first seeing her, you'd just think she was pretty. Then, looking again, she'd be even prettier. Keep looking, and you'd think, "Damn, I'm in love."

On the desk in front of her was a nameplate, introducing her name and status – Wu Zhixuan 1-dan.

Seeing the boys from Class Seven appear at the entrance of the multimedia classroom, she smiled, revealing two sweet dimples, and waved hello to them.

Her smile was unreasonably radiant, making anyone who saw it feel like there were no obstacles in life they couldn't overcome.

And so, in that instant, although the boys from Class Seven hadn't exchanged a single word with each other, they all, with unspoken and perfect tacit understanding, made a collective decision in their hearts –

They would enter the multimedia classroom in the slowest way possible for the rest of their lives.

"What should I do? Bro, I'm in a real hurry."

Zhou De lowered his voice and quietly asked Yu Shao beside him, "If she and Xu Ziqin fell into the river at the same time, who should I save?"
