"Why the hell can't I play Go?! Why?!"
Zhou De let out a heart-wrenching howl. He thought Wu Zhixuan had added Yu Shao on WeChat because Yu Shao was good at Go. For the first time, he hated himself for not knowing how to play.
"Betrayal! Brother, you actually hid this move from me! Not only can you play Go, you're even this good at it. You're really patient!"
Zhou De ground his teeth and said, "I thought you signed up for the simultaneous matches for the Conduct Points. Only then did I realize you did it to show off. Damn, you really pulled it off! And you went all out!"
"Enough. Stop embarrassing yourself here. Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch. Aren't you hungry?"
Yu Shao was speechless as he headed toward the cafeteria.
"No, Old Yu, why?"
Zhou De followed behind Yu Shao, puzzled. He asked, "I just found out that Xu Ziqin can play Go too, and she's even this good. Are all female Go players really this good-looking?"
Hearing the question, Yu Shao thought about it.
It seemed...
That might actually be true?
In his previous life, female Go players were generally quite attractive. In this life, judging from Xu Ziqin and Wu Zhixuan, it seemed that female Go players were even better-looking?
However, Yu Shao did not know much about the female Go players in this world, so he could not make a rash conclusion based solely on Wu Zhixuan and Xu Ziqin.
In the end, Yu Shao shook his head and said, "I can't really say. Maybe."
"I've decided. I'm going to learn Go. Damn Go, I'll crush you!" Zhou De gritted his teeth and steeled himself. "I can't let you be the only one showing off anymore. I have to show off too."
Oh no!
Yu Shao was startled. For some reason, he actually felt that Zhou De was serious this time!
The power of a pretty girl was truly terrifying!
"Old Yu, you have to help me!"
Just then, Zhou De stared intently at Yu Shao and spoke in a tone that brooked no argument.
Yu Shao's eyelid twitched. He asked, "Can I refuse?"
"I even gave up on Wu Zhixuan, and you still won't help me?"
Zhou De deliberately acted furious, as if his beloved had been stolen by his brother. "It took me so long to fall in love for once, but you still stole her from me! And I treated you like a brother!"
"First of all, you fall in love every day. It's not as if this was the one and only time."
Yu Shao analyzed it rationally. "Second, I only added her on WeChat. Besides, she isn't from our school. Whether you'll even see her again is another matter."
Zhou De was rendered speechless. After a long while, he said, "Don't force me to beg you."
"Even if you beg, I won't agree."
Zhou De brought out his trump card. "Godfather!"
Yu Shao shamefully surrendered.
After all, there was probably no boy in this world who could refuse to adopt a classmate as his godson.
The two soon arrived at the cafeteria. After getting their food, they casually found an empty table and began eating lunch.
Zhou De turned his grief and anger into an appetite, wolfing down his food as if he had not eaten in three days.
Halfway through the meal, a pretty girl with delicate features walked over, her face flushed and her steps somewhat nervous.
"Classmate, could I add you as a contact?"
Hearing this, Zhou De's whole body shook. He immediately stopped his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and nodded. "Sure. QQ or WeChat?"
"Uh..."
The girl looked awkward. She pointed at Yu Shao and said, "I was asking him."
Zhou De froze. Even the food in front of him suddenly seemed to lose its flavor.
Yu Shao, meanwhile, was barely holding back his laughter.
Forcing down his amusement, Yu Shao looked at the girl, nodded, and said, "Sure. Add me."
With that, Yu Shao gave her his WeChat ID. After all, they were classmates, and he was not in a relationship. There was no reason to refuse.
Zhou De gritted his teeth angrily and lowered his head to continue shoveling rice into his mouth, hoping to dispel the embarrassment from earlier.
As a result, three or four more girls came to ask Yu Shao for his contact information over the course of the meal.
Zhou De even began to feel that the food had turned so sour it was hard to swallow!
"Wait, does playing Go come with cosmetic surgery?"
After yet another girl who had asked Yu Shao for his WeChat left, Zhou De finally could not hold it in anymore. "Didn't they say humor was the best cosmetic surgery for a man? Am I not funny?"
"You are pretty funny."
Yu Shao affirmed Zhou De.
"Exactly! So why is no one asking for my WeChat?"
Zhou De found it baffling, but then suddenly felt that something was off about what Yu Shao had said. "Were you mocking me just now?"
Yu Shao was shocked that Zhou De had actually caught on. He immediately denied it. "I wasn't."
"Really?"
"Really."
Yu Shao nodded.
Zhou De remained skeptical, but he did not continue questioning him. Only then did Yu Shao let out a slight sigh of relief.
Soon, after finishing lunch, Yu Shao had barely returned to the classroom when the entire room exploded. Everyone's eyes turned toward him in unison.
Shock, amazement, curiosity, admiration, and... jealousy!
Old Zhang—Zhang Wenbo—the guy who usually loved dragging people off to play games together, rushed over with an indignant look. "Well, well, Old Yu. You've been hiding your abilities! You were saving the big surprise for the brothers, huh?"
"I didn't even know you could play Go, and you're insanely good at it too. You actually hid this skill from us. You really deserve to die. You were secretly competing with your brothers, weren't you?!"
"Exactly! We agreed to slack off together, but you secretly started competing. How hateful! Absolutely hateful!"
The boys in the front row also joined in the verbal attack on Yu Shao. One of them said, "Damn it, watching you win hurt worse than dying! My mind's still completely blank!"
"Exactly. If you'd gained Conduct Points but been brutally crushed in front of everyone, I could have accepted that. But you actually won, you bastard!"
They were the very embodiment of the saying: You fear your brothers suffering, but you also fear them driving a luxury car.
Yu Shao brushed them off with a few words and laughed it away, trying to muddle through it. Otherwise, these godsons of his would brand him a heinous criminal, and nothing short of wiping out nine generations of his family would appease the public outrage.
But these godsons clearly had no intention of letting Yu Shao off so easily, continuing their relentless verbal assault.
"The homeroom teacher is here!"
Finally, a boy suddenly rushed into the classroom and called out a warning. Only then did the group finally spare Yu Shao and hurry back to their seats.
Not long afterward, Li Kang appeared at the classroom door, still holding his trademark thermos.
Li Kang swept his sharp gaze across the classroom. Wherever his eyes landed, everyone instinctively straightened their posture—clearly, Class Seven of Senior One had suffered under Li Kang for a long time.
After scanning the entire classroom, Li Kang fixed his gaze on Yu Shao.
"Yu Shao, come out for a moment," Li Kang said.
Yu Shao paused slightly, puzzled. He had no idea why Li Kang had suddenly called for him. Generally speaking, being summoned out alone by Li Kang was probably not a good thing.
However, since the homeroom teacher had spoken, Yu Shao could only rise from his seat and walk toward Li Kang, who was waiting at the classroom door.
