422 Goodbye (2/2)
The sounds that came from Shi Xiaobai twisting his body echoed in the bedroom.
A lazy and charming voice sounded at that moment.
”Darling sat on that cold chair all night once again. It hurts me so much. The sky has just turned bright, why doesn't Darling come into bed and snooze for a while? The bed here is fragrant and warm. It will definitely be very comfortable for Darling.”
The Infernal Queen lifted the quilt slightly. In the shadows, the beautiful figure could be faintly seen. If one was closer, one would be able to smell an alluring body fragrance emanating from the bed.
Shi Xiaobai was already accustomed to the teasing and temptation. Although a warm bed was quite tempting for him, he would rather sit on a cold and hard chair than lie in that bed. That was because Shi Xiaobai knew that it was not a bed, but a grave.
Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment and said, ”Stop sleeping. Get up and play one last game with This King.”
The Infernal Queen was surprised as she said in surprise, ”Why did Darling say that it would be the final game?”
Shi Xiaobai shook his head and said, ”No idea, but intuition tells This King that this will be the last game between us.”
When the Infernal Queen heard this, she immediately sat up. The quilt slid down to her waist and under her translucent nightgown, her impressive figure could be faintly seen. The Infernal Queen said in a coquettish tone, ”Darling's intuition is probably problematic. Quickly set up two games. I will play two rounds with Darling at the same time!”
...
The Infernal Queen successfully defeated Shi Xiaobai's intuition. The duo began dual-tasking. Their left hands played Go, while their right hands played Chinese chess. Furthermore, the rules were such that each move could only be contemplated for three seconds. In a short period of time, the both of them began playing two rounds simultaneously.
If others were to see this scene, they would probably be appalled. As the duo simultaneously played two games, the speed at which they moved was staggeringly fast. It was as though they were deliberately competing in speed. The other person would immediately land a piece when one of them made their move.
However, despite the time to contemplate was so short and them needing to dual-task, the duo's every step could be considered near perfect. There was almost no flaw left behind. Even if a flaw appeared, it could be rescued in a few moves later.
Therefore the final outcome of the two games that ran concurrently was—a tie.
The Infernal Queen said in a faint voice, ”Another round. If I cannot defeat Darling in one game, I really wouldn't be able to sleep and eat.”
Shi Xiaobai chuckled and said, ”No more. There might not be any outcome even after another hundred rounds. The both of us have played countless games over the past ten days. No one can win the other and it is not a coincidence. Furthermore, This King has to set off now.”
The Infernal Queen lowered her head and said softly, ”For the life-and-death battle between the three kings, I won't be accompanying you.”
Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised and asked out of curiosity, ”Why?”
The Infernal Queen looked Shi Xiaobai seriously in the eyes and gently said, ”That's because the battle will be a tough battle for Darling. If I were to watch by the side, I might not be able to resist intervening if Darling were to be injured. My heart really aches for Darling.”
Shi Xiaobai was surprised. Disregarding the fact that the Infernal Queen's words were not sincere, what sort of logic was it for her to rather not see something because she was afraid to not be able to hold back if she saw him injured?
Shi Xiaobai did not mind if the Infernal Queen would accompany him to watch the match. Without harping on the issue, he nodded and said, ”Alright, This King will be going.”
”Goodbye.”IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
