Cui Ze started learning chess in elementary school and officially became a professional player at the age of sixteen.
After his debut, he had almost no defeats. In just two years, he has become the most eye-catching rookie in the South Korean Go world. Last year, he defeated many famous players and won the South Korean Go Championship. It can be said to be quite impressive.
However, in recent times, his competitive status has declined significantly, and he has lost many games. This time, he was beaten to a pulp by Park Joon-yong, the first actor, which naturally made people happy and worried that he would never recover.
The teachers at the chess academy, the parents in the alley, and his fans were all worried. Even Cui Ze himself felt stressed and couldn't sleep at night, even after taking multiple sleeping pills.
His situation also made parents in the alley very worried. But they had no better way. They could only remind each other not to compete with Cui Ze again, so as not to irritate him.
…
"Cui Ze is so pitiful, we should help him." Deshan said worriedly.
She is a kind-hearted girl to begin with, not to mention Cui Ze is her good friend.
"I want to help him too, but how should I help him?" Shanyu spread his hands.
"Now the teachers in the chess academy and the parents in the alley are at a loss what to do." Donglong frowned and said, "This problem is really difficult."
"In my opinion, blocking is worse than sparing." Xiang Nan suggested, "Now everyone avoids mentioning Aze's defeat in the game, and even if they do, it is just to comfort them. But at present, it seems that this approach of concealing illness and avoiding treatment is not feasible. Take it. In this case, we might as well let Aze face it calmly and vent his frustration of failure."
"Is this okay?" Everyone asked worriedly.
"Of course, don't forget, when we fail in the exam, we will be in a bad mood, and we will find ways to vent it." Xiang Nan explained, "No matter how superb Aze's chess skills are, no matter how sophisticated he is, after all, he is still A child, a peer like us."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded, "Since we can't find any way, let's give it a try."
…
Immediately, after discussing it, several people came to Cui Ze's house together.
"Aze, I heard that you lost the last game~" Shanyu said directly as soon as he entered the door.
Cui Ze was stunned.
"I heard that he was defeated by a junior player, oops~" Xiang Nan also said.
"How could he lose so miserably?" Deshan also asked.
"I'm just careless." Cui Ze said quickly.
"Bullshit is sloppy. How can a genius chess player be sloppy?" Dong Long complained immediately.
"Do I have to win all the time?" Cui Ze couldn't help but retorted.
"Yes, a genius chess player must always win. No mistakes, no mistakes, no slumps, no shit..." Everyone nodded and said, "Ah, you can still shit, but it can't stink~"
Everyone laughed as they spoke.
Cui Ze couldn't help but laugh after hearing what everyone said.
In the eyes of Chinese people, a genius chess player must be perfect, with no mistakes, no mistakes, and no troughs... But in fact, genius chess players are also human beings, and they also have ups and downs, ups and downs.
"Oh, is it time to laugh now?" Xiang Nan said, "You should curse. Look at me, damn Park Junyong~"
"Wow~" Deshan was shocked.
"Shanyu, come on~" Xiang Nan commanded again.
Shan Yu nodded, "Damn Park Junyong~"
"Aze, try it~" Xiang Nan then looked at Cui Ze and said.
"This is damn..." Aze was mid-sentence and couldn't continue.
"Look at me, damn Park Junyong~" Donglong said immediately, "Learn from me~"
"Damn Park Junyong~" Cui Ze finally cursed.
"Speak louder~" Xiang Nan encouraged him.
"Damn Park Junyong~" Cui Ze cursed loudly.
"Yeah, that's it~" Xiang Nan clapped his hands and smiled.
Cui Ze then cursed a few more times, and the suffocation in his heart was released.
Seeing that he was done venting, Xiang Nan took out the tape, put it in the recording, and then pressed the play button.
Then, dynamic and cheerful music sounded.
Xiang Nan stepped forward and pulled Cui Ze up and danced with him.
Deshan, Donglong, and Sunwoo also sang and danced together. In this way, Cui Ze's sullenness was released, and a smile bloomed on his face again. He defeated his opponents in the subsequent games and once again became the pride of the South Korean Go community. .
…
"Zhenghuan, you are so awesome~" Deshan couldn't help but admire him when he saw that Xiang Nan helped Cui Ze solve the problem as soon as he took action.
"After all, my books are not for nothing." Xiang Nan said with a smile. He has studied psychology and is very experienced in educating people.
The main reason why Cui Ze fell into a trough was because he was under too much pressure.
The chess academy, parents, and even fans across the country have all promoted him to a high position, and Cui Ze is also a person with a strong desire to win, so under the influence of multiple factors, he has reached the point where he cannot afford to lose.
Under such astonishing pressure, there are only a few who are able to fight against the odds, and the vast majority of them will be in a dilemma.
It is not surprising that Cui Ze is still a child and has reached a trough.
What Xiang Nan and others have done is to let him know that he is also a mortal, and he must be allowed to make mistakes, fail, and vent appropriately.
In this way, the pressure on him will be much less, and he will go further if he travels lightly.
…
At the same time, Deshan's parents, Dongil and Yihua, also participated in the school's entrance examination talks.
High schools in South Korea take the college entrance examination in December, so admission to higher schools is also in December. Deshan, Xiang Nan and others are about to enter their senior year of high school.
As soon as they reach the senior year of high school, they face the difficulty of the college entrance examination. The school will also meet with parents in advance to discuss their children's entrance examination matters, which is similar to the parent mobilization meeting held in mainland schools in the senior year of high school.
However, South Korea’s exams are much more practical than just shouting slogans.
Generally speaking, schools naturally encourage students who study well to further their education. But for students with poor academic performance, the school will vaccinate them in advance and advise parents to let their children give up taking the college entrance examination and go to a technical school to learn some skills.
Because Deshan's performance improved significantly in the last monthly exam, the teacher still has some hope for Deshan's exam.
"Deshan is kind-hearted, enthusiastic and lively, and helps her classmates. She is really a very good child." The class teacher said with a smile, "Moreover, we have made great progress in the last monthly exam. If we can keep it up, we will be able to take the exam." There is still hope for college.”
"Really?! Thank you, teacher. We Deshan are really studying hard now." Dongri and Ichika said very happily after hearing this.
"That's good. For a child as good as Deshan, I also hope she can have a better future." The head teacher smiled and nodded.
Dongri and Ichika both nodded. After returning home, they praised Deshan, "Deshan, you must continue to work hard. Mom and dad don't have high expectations. It would be great if they can get into college." "
Deshan nodded after hearing this.
