Chapter 358 Got it!
"What accident?"
Gu Ziyi narrowed her eyes, "Speak clearly, what exactly happened?"
Ye Fan noticed the boy's gaze, clearly sensing the resentment within this gaze, feeling puzzled in his heart.
This person losing a game, what does it have to do with him?
The boy sighed, said: "Just now I was sitting next to Ye Fan. After Ye Fan left, his opponent, don't know what stimulated him, suddenly stood up, bumped my arm, causing my stone placement to deviate, revealing a weakness, that's why I lost the match."
After hearing this, Gu Ziyi was dumbfounded.
This works too?
For a moment, everyone's gaze converged on Ye Fan's face.
Ye Fan gave a dry cough, waved his hands, said: "Everyone, don't look at me, it wasn't me who did it, has nothing to do with me!"
"…"
Clearly, the crowd didn't believe these words.
They had just noticed Ye Fan's tie-breaker points situation on the large screen, a full 21 points!
This also indicated that in the seventh round match, Ye Fan won by at least ten stones against his opponent. Generally, players with poor mentality encountering this situation might really exhibit extreme behavior.
"Alright, lost is lost."
Gu Ziyi's expression was somewhat odd. She comforted this unlucky fellow: "It's not a big deal anyway, you can still compete on tie-breaker points later. If I remember correctly, your tie-breaker points are now 12. As long as you steadily win the subsequent matches, you can definitely successfully rank."
Crowd: "…"
Not a big deal?
The way she said that…
One word——绝 (jué - absolute/peerless/final/awesome)!
Ning Xi secretly poked Ye Fan, said inaudibly low: "Gege, you really caused trouble for him!"
Ye Fan blinked innocently, replied in a low voice, "Xiao Xi, this really isn't my fault, can only say… it's his bad luck."
The girl wanted to laugh, but constrained by too many people, could only forcefully suppress her laughter, her fragrant shoulders slightly shaking.
The mid-session break was only fifteen minutes. Soon, the eighth round match began.
Ye Fan, as usual, returned to the hall just over ten minutes after the match started. The match information on the large screen updated accordingly.
Number 366, eight wins, zero losses, tie-breaker points: 24!
Regarding this result, Gu Ziyi was already used to it. She now only cared about Ning Xi and the other three students who had lost two matches. The four no longer had any room to lose. Once any accident occurred, then this ranking tournament journey could only end here.
After the eighth round matches all ended, the result made Gu Ziyi quite satisfied.
Eighth round, Beichuan Dojo students, all won!
Then the ninth round…
All won!
Until the final round match began, Gu Ziyi's heart rose up. Sitting in the hall waiting, her face hung full of wry smiles.
She must be the most anxious team leader among Beichuan Dojo's leaders!
Thinking and thinking, the touch on her shoulder brought the daydreaming Gu Ziyi back to reality. Looking up, who else could be in front of her but Ye Fan? She incredulously raised her hand to check the time, astonished, said: "You, you finished already?"
"Mm."
Ye Fan nodded, his expression calm.
Gu Ziyi: "…"
She didn't believe it, checked the time again. After confirming she hadn't seen wrong, for a moment she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Tenth round match, Ye Fan only used eight minutes.
This…
Simply!!!
Regarding Gu Ziyi's reaction, Ye Fan wasn't surprised, because the referee and opponent just now had reacted even more exaggeratedly than Gu Ziyi.
He sat down to Gu Ziyi's right, leaving an empty seat in between. This small detail made Gu Ziyi stare blankly, "Do you have to? Why sit so far from me?"
Ye Fan didn't even think, said directly: "Sister Ziyi, I'm someone with a girlfriend, naturally have to maintain distance from other girls."
Gu Ziyi's eyelids twitched, she supported her forehead, said: "You are very outstanding, but I'm not interested in you. Besides, I'm still Xiao Xi's older sister, wouldn't snatch her man no matter what. Alright, quickly sit over here, let's analyze Xiao Xi's current possibility of advancing."
"Let's just stay like this."
Ye Fan remained unmoved, said lightly: "Already analyzed. Xiao Xi can get two tie-breaker points in the last game, definitely can advance. If she gets one tie-breaker point, then it depends on player number 466's match result."
Gu Ziyi froze, suspicion showing on her face, "You… when did you finish analyzing?"
Ye Fan raised his finger to point at the large screen, said as if it were a matter of course: "Using the information on the large screen as known conditions, just list a formula randomly and you can calculate it, very simple."
The corner of Gu Ziyi's mouth twitched, she swallowed with difficulty.
emmm...
Very simple?
Excuse me!
The world of geniuses, ordinary people cannot interfere. Those words are indeed true.
Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Gu Ziyi felt somewhat restless sitting, eventually directly stood up and paced back and forth in front of Ye Fan. Watching her made Ye Fan a bit dizzy. Helplessly, he could only choose to close his eyes and rest.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Gu Ziyi saw Ye Fan's posture, her nose almost bent out of shape from anger. She was worried sick here, yet in contrast, Ye Fan looked like an old god leisurely existing. Those who didn't know might think Ning Xi was her girlfriend!
"Hey, aren't you worried at all?"
"Worried."
Ye Fan opened his eyes, smiled and said: "But no one stipulated that worry must be shown, right?"
Gu Ziyi: "…"
Fine.
She decided it was better not to talk to this guy, otherwise, she might very possibly be angered to death!
As time passed, Beichuan Dojo students came to the hall one after another, only Ning Xi's figure was still missing.
The three students who had lost two matches all won. Because their tie-breaker points advantage was relatively large, the three were confirmed to have successfully ranked.
But Gu Ziyi's tense heart didn't relax in the slightest. Before Ning Xi came out, no one knew what the final result would be.
Nearing four o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Fan, who had been squinting his eyes, suddenly opened them, the corners of his mouth hooking into an arc.
At the exit, a beautiful figure slowly appeared.
Walking out of the venue, Ning Xi, who had been tense all along, breathed a sigh of relief as if unburdened. Finally grasped the last chance.
Final game, secured!
Although only obtaining one tie-breaker point, Ning Xi was already quite satisfied. Her final opponent was very strong; being able to win was already thank heaven and earth, simply didn't have the energy to care about tie-breaker points.
Her gaze looked towards Ye Fan's direction. The first glance she saw Ye Fan, the corners of her eyes curved, raised her small hand high, the smooth cuff slipped down, a section of jade arm like a white scallion was exposed to the air, instantly attracting the gazes of many people.
Ning Xi didn't notice these, her footsteps quickened, eventually almost jogging over to Ye Fan's front. After stopping, she slightly caught her breath.
Ye Fan stood up, looked at the girl a head shorter than him, asked gently: "Xiao Xi, how was it?"
Ning Xi took off her mask, her stunningly beautiful face carried a touch of charming naivety, waved her jade hand, "Secured!"
The soft, sweet voice, nation-toppling appearance, plus behavior cute enough to make one want to commit crimes, became the most beautiful scenery in the hall.
Ye Fan smiled heartily, greed arose deep in his eyes, two lines of poetry surfaced in his heart, reflecting the beautiful scene before him.
Fortunate to know the peach blossom face, henceforth the paths are filled with warm spring…
