"Little sister, don't forget that when Chu Xinan thinks about the game, his opponent can also think. That doesn't prove anything," A-Yu said.

"Yes, that's true. His opponent also has that advantage. This can't prove anything," Xu Zijing said.

"I won't argue with you all. I just think Chu Xinan's opponent is a bit stronger," the girl from before said. She seemed to have become Xiaoyao's supporter.

At this time, Xiaoyao's supporters weren't just her alone, there were quite a few. Some people favored Chu Xinan, while others naturally favored Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao didn't know that playing one game of Go had caused such a commotion and even created some supporters for himself. This was something he had never imagined.

"Yanran, sit down," A-Yu said, seeing that Qi Yanran showed no intention of sitting and was just looking around as if searching for something.

"Yanran, just sit down. How could you possibly find your little brother by searching like this?" Xu Zijing said. Qi Yanran was like this wherever she went now, which left him speechless.

However, before his words had even settled, something happened that completely shocked him.

"Xiaoyao!!" Qi Yanran shouted loudly in one direction, her tone containing both surprise and a trace of anger.

...

No way? She really found him?

Xu Zijing's eyes nearly popped out. He found it hard to believe, he had just said she couldn't find him like this, yet so coincidentally, Qi Yanran had found her little brother.

Following the direction of Qi Yanran's shout, he saw a young man coming out of a private room. This was the young man he had been searching for these past few days. He had Xiaoyao's portrait and could confirm without doubt.

Then he noticed Qi Yanran's figure had already appeared beside that young man. The spot where Qi Yanran had been standing beside him was now completely empty. That speed was really fast, almost instantaneous.

But he wasn't very surprised that Qi Yanran had such ability.

"No way, he's Qi Yanran's little brother?" A-Yu and others said in surprise. They hadn't seen Xiaoyao's portrait, but these past few days they had occasionally seen Xiaoyao going in and out of that private room. If this was true, it would be hilarious.

"That's right, he's Qi Yanran's little brother. What's wrong?" Xu Zijing asked. He had gotten Xiaoyao's portrait, but he had given it to his subordinates to search and hadn't shown it to A-Yu and the others.

"If he's Yanran's little brother, then you've all been busy for nothing these past few days. He's been here the whole time," A-Yu replied. This situation was really interesting.

"...No way..." Xu Zijing felt somewhat depressed. If he had known this would happen, he should have shown them the portrait too. Originally thinking they had been here these past few days, there was no need to show them.

"But how is he here, and in Chu Xinan's private room?" A-Yu asked with some confusion.

Though everyone knew Chu Xinan and Xiaoyao were playing Go in that private room, no one knew Xiaoyao was Chu Xinan's opponent. While not many people went in and out of that private room, there were still quite a few.

Xiaoyao and the other had to eat and drink, and the private room also had sleeping areas. Bathing facilities were also fully equipped. Chu Xinan had been inside the whole time without coming out, while Xiaoyao occasionally came out to enjoy the moon and drink.

Those who didn't know, how could they believe Xiaoyao was Chu Xinan's opponent? At such a moment, who could still be so relaxed? Therefore, everyone considered Xiaoyao a spectator, one of Chu Xinan's friends.

Even those who went in to deliver food and tea didn't know who Chu Xinan's opponent was, because Xiaoyao was basically always sleeping, showing no feeling of being in a major Go battle.

Besides Xiaoyao and Chu Xinan, there were several of Chu Xinan's brothers in the room. They were suspected of being Chu Xinan's opponent. Miss Xiaofeng had left long ago, she had no interest in staying here for days. Being able to come check was already good enough.

However, when Miss Xiaofeng came, Xiaoyao happened to not be outside, so she had no opportunity to point out Xiaoyao. She only told people about Xiaoyao's situation, saying he was just a slow kid.

"Hehe, we can find out by going to ask. Originally we had no way to contact what was happening inside, but now we can use Sister Yanran's little brother," the previous girl said with a smile, immediately flashing to Xiaoyao and Qi Yanran's side.

At this moment, Xiaoyao unknowingly became the focus of everyone's attention. However, no one felt he was related to the Go battle, it was just because the one calling him was Qi Yanran, and Qi Yanran had also appeared before him.

Who is this kid? What's his relationship with Qi Yanran? Stay away from my Yanran!!

There were also some of Qi Yanran's suitors here. If it were years ago, there would be even more. Now Qi Yanran had fewer suitors, but still quite a few.

If they could right now, they would definitely kill Xiaoyao with their gazes...

However, Xiaoyao lacked this awareness and was looking at Qi Yanran, saying: "You came. Wait a moment, I'll go take a bath and eat something, then talk with you."

What?! He actually speaks to my Yanran like this, is this kid looking for a beating?

"Bastard!" Qi Yanran smacked Xiaoyao. She was somewhat angry, she had been so anxiously searching for him, yet he acted like nothing had happened, still wanting to bathe and eat before talking with her.

"Ah, that hurt! What's wrong with you? Why are you hitting me for no reason?" Xiaoyao asked very directly. One advantage of talking with Qi Yanran was that he didn't need to worry about anything.

"You're the one with problems! I've been searching for you like crazy, yet you've been leisurely enjoying yourself here. Tell me, where have you been fooling around these past few days?" Qi Yanran said irritably.

What? Searching like crazy? That means their relationship is very unusual. Oh my god, could it be that Yanran is leaving me...

A group of people seemed somewhat heartbroken, while others felt curious. They hadn't expected Qi Yanran to actually have a boyfriend. At this moment they still couldn't figure out Xiaoyao and Qi Yanran's relationship, naturally misunderstanding them as lovers.

"I've been here playing Go these past few days, bored to death. Where did I fool around? You're looking for me for what? Didn't I have someone bring you a message saying I was here?" Xiaoyao was somewhat distressed and confused.

"Bring me a message? I didn't receive any," Qi Yanran was stunned. She thought about her mail, there really wasn't any from Xiaoyao. She had opened and read everything, afraid someone might write extortion letters or something.

She understood now, some link in the middle had definitely gone wrong. If she knew who had messed up, she would definitely give that person a severe beating.

"That's strange. I had someone deliver a message on the first night. Forget it, doesn't matter anyway, you know now," Xiaoyao said, then prepared to go find a place to bathe.

How could Qi Yanran allow Xiaoyao to just leave like this? She still had many questions to ask. She grabbed Xiaoyao, and at this moment several more people appeared beside her. Xu Zijing and others. Like the girl who came before, they were interested in knowing the inside situation and also wanted to meet Xiaoyao.

"I say, sister, what else do you want? I need to bathe now," Xiaoyao said somewhat helplessly. The current situation left him very distressed, he was full of frustration.

"Why are you leaving before we finish talking? You don't have any smell on you, what bath do you need?" Qi Yanran said.

"That's not how you say it. Do you not bathe just because you don't smell? When you're not hungry, do you not eat?" Xiaoyao asked back.

"Of course I eat. I won't discuss these things with you. I know your mouth is sharp and I can't out-argue you! Let me introduce you. this is Xu Zijing, your sister's good friend. She's called A-Yu, Xu Zijing's lover. And she's called A-Qing, A-Yu's little sister," Qi Yanran said.

"Brother Xu, Sister Yu, A-Qing... Miss A-Qing, hello. I'm called Xiaoyao! I say, sister, it looks like you have good men around you, why haven't you married yet?" After greeting Xu Zijing and others, Xiaoyao looked Xu Zijing up and down while talking to Qi Yanran.

"..."

Xiaoyao's words immediately made the scene quiet. If ordinary people said this, they would definitely face Qi Yanran's anger, this was something everyone understood.

At the same time, everyone seemed to discover that Xiaoyao and Qi Yanran's relationship didn't seem to be what they had imagined. If it were like that, how could he say such things?

Sister? Your sister? Could they be siblings?

Whether they were siblings would soon be known by watching Qi Yanran's reaction. If he wasn't her little brother, he would definitely be beaten half to death by Qi Yanran.

"Mind your own business. You should take care of yourself first!" Qi Yanran said irritably.

Eh, looks like they really are siblings! What a relief, what a relief...

"I'm not old enough yet. I'm still young, compared to you, I'm still a child," Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"Get lost!" Qi Yanran swept her leg over. Fortunately, Xiaoyao knew she would do this and dodged early. Unfortunately for the corridor railing, it was kicked to pieces.

"Xiaoyao, haha, you're really interesting. This is the first time I've seen someone dare to talk to Sister Yanran like this," Miss A-Qing said.

"There's something called courage. Facing my sister like this, that courage must reach the level of not fearing sacrifice," Xiaoyao said very seriously.

"Pfft..." At this moment, even the usually dignified A-Yu couldn't help laughing, and others needn't be mentioned, some were already holding their stomachs.

"Kid, are you itching for a beating? Daring to mock me in front of outsiders," Qi Yanran was angry.

"No, what did I just say? I wanted to bathe. Right, I want to bathe," Xiaoyao was about to escape under the pretext of bathing again. However, this time it was borrowing an excuse to flee, somewhat different from the previous situation.

However, his collar was still grabbed by Qi Yanran, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
