160: Lin Xuan vs. Su Qingge! Idiom chain and couplets...

“If I lose, I call you Sis? Fine! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧”

“Then if you lose, you call me… Brother Lin Xuan.”

“Are you ready? Do you start? Or do I start?”

Lin Xuan opened the idiom chain game treasure book, and after preparing for victory, he urged confidently.

In the dark consciousness space… hearing that the bet was to call him “Brother” if she lost, Su Qingge immediately got goosebumps.

Ew~~

So cheesy~~

She had grown up so much, and had almost never called anyone else by that title?!

Even when facing her own brother, Su Yang, she often called him by his name, and only occasionally, when in a good mood, would she call him “Big Brother.”

And you actually want me to call you “Brother Lin Xuan”… w(ﾟДﾟ)w Ahhh~~

I can’t take it, I can’t take it, just thinking about it is unbearable!!!

But then she thought that her probability of losing was at most 5%, such a low possibility… Victory!!!

ヾ(￣ー￣)X(^▽^)ゞ.

So Su Qingge no longer hesitated and accepted the challenge with full confidence.

【You start.】

“Alright. Then listen carefully.”

Lin Xuan did not decline, taking the lead without hesitation.

“Chicken, you are too beautiful.”

Su Qingge: “…”

Could it be that I’ve been in a coma for too long and have been eliminated by the times?

Are you sure this is an idiom???

This should be considered an internet slang, right… The young girl continuously complained in her heart.

However, seeing that Lin Xuan couldn't even distinguish between “idiom” and “internet slang,” Su Qingge's confidence grew even stronger.

Never mind.

Considering Lin Xuan was a “desperate illiterate,” she reluctantly accepted this idiom.

【Beautiful as a celestial being.】

“Immortal grace and jade-like appearance.”

Lin Xuan didn't cheat from the start, thinking he would first rely on his true knowledge to see if he could contend with Su Qingge… 【Seemingly united but actually estranged.】

“Detached from worldly customs.”

【Vulgar written words.】

“Weighing words and phrases.”

【Filling the full and supplementing the empty.】

“Floating boat and flying tiles.”

【Earthen pot thundering.】

“Ringing bells and displaying tripods.”

Soon.

The battle between the two sides entered a white-hot stage, with each taking turns and neither giving way.

However, the further it went, the more Lin Xuan felt powerless.

He had to admit… Su Qingge’s knowledge reserve was indeed not to be underestimated.

Especially since the other party seemed to be looking for some obscure, unheard-of idioms to quickly end the “battle,” causing Lin Xuan’s mind to freeze instantly… “Tripod… tripod? Let me think…”

Seeing Lin Xuan stuck and unable to answer.

Su Qingge's heart immediately filled with joy; she knew the other party had run out of ammunition.

【Run out of words? If you can't, just surrender!】

【You're already very impressive, little brother. It's not shameful to lose to your older sister.】

These were the young girl's sincere words… Lin Xuan being able to use so many obscure idioms and fight her to this extent had already made her look at him with new eyes.

Losing to her was normal, rightful, and not shameful.

But these “extremely arrogant” words, to Lin Xuan’s ears, were a naked provocation.

“Hmph! Who said I couldn’t! How can a man say he can’t? (￣_ ,￣)”

To ensure his future family status and firmly suppress Su Qingge's arrogant nature.

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow; he had no choice but to call for outside help.

After opening the idiom chain game treasure book, he instantly became invincible by cheating on the spot.

“Tripod fish and curtain swallow.”

Huh???

He actually thought of it?!

A bit interesting, but how long can you last?

Facing Lin Xuan's sudden inspiration.

Su Qingge didn't take it seriously, only thinking he had luckily come up with it.

But how could he possibly win against her with just such luck?!

A belly full of poetry naturally exudes an elegant aura.

The vast knowledge accumulated over the years gave the young girl powerful confidence to sweep everything aside.

Facing Lin Xuan's desperate counterattack, she effortlessly wrote down the answer with a “swish, swish, swish.”

【Sparrow's abode.】

What the young girl didn't know was… from this moment on, her opponent was no longer human, but the crystallization of human wisdom—an intelligent AI.

“Harboring sinister intentions.”

【Measuring the sky and the sea.】

“Sea boiling and river overturning.”

【Turning heaven and earth upside down.】

“Vast land and sparse population.”

【Strange and bizarre.】

“Monsters, spirits, and gods.”

【Radiant with vigor.】

“Raising eyebrows and exhaling pride.”

【Magnificent demeanor.】

“Striding forward with head held high.”

【Staggering gait.】

“Arriving late with tottering steps.”

...After half an hour of continuous confrontation, Su Qingge's response speed became slower and slower, and her thinking time increased.

Clearly.

The young girl was also gradually falling into a state of being at a loss for words.

Even so, this war between humans and AI still opened Lin Xuan's eyes.

If he had relied solely on his true knowledge… he probably wouldn't have lasted a few minutes before being defeated by the AI.

But Su Qingge fought with increasing courage, her rapid-fire answers were astonishing.

Unfortunately, human brainpower, compared to AI, always has its limits.

Man-machine battle!

After confronting thousands of idioms, it finally came to an end… 【Do not trample on cattle and sheep? Trample… trample…】

【I can’t think of it, I lose. (o_ _)ﾉ】

Perhaps having consumed too much brainpower, Su Qingge finally, with reluctance, wrote the word “surrender” on the paper.

【┗( ´・∧・｀)┛ Surrendered~~】

【Lin Xuan, did you specifically memorize the complete collection of idioms? You're quite impressive!】

It was a game she thought she had in the bag.

Su Qingge never expected… that she would actually lose???

Although a bit depressed. (＃￣～￣＃)

But she lost convinced and without complaint.

Lin Xuan's knowledge reserve was indeed far beyond her imagination.

Su Qingge admired this greatly.

In a direct confrontation, she had done her best, so she had no regrets; though defeated, she was still glorious.

However, when she thought about the bet being to call the other party “Brother.”

Su Qingge suddenly felt a little shy.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan, knowing his victory was unfair, did not intend to force Su Qingge to fulfill the agreement.

“Never mind, Qingge. I don’t want to make things difficult for you, let’s cancel the bet from earlier!”

Hearing this, while Su Qingge felt touched and relieved, a little… regret seemed to stir in her heart.

She actually wasn't that repulsed by the bet… 【Lin Xuan, I want to have another round with you.】

【Still with the previous “bet” as the premise, this time I will absolutely not lose again.】

At this moment.

Su Qingge, having lost the game, was still brooding and decided to challenge Lin Xuan again.

She really didn't believe it.

In terms of knowledge reserve, would she lose to Lin Xuan?!

“Again? You can’t win!”

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, glanced at the idiom chain game treasure book on his phone, and was full of confidence.

【Don’t underestimate me!!!】

“Alright~~ Since you’re not giving up! Then I’ll let you experience again the absolute gap in strength between us.”

Just as Lin Xuan was still showing off… Su Qingge had already proposed a new game method.

【This time I want to play couplets with you.】

“Couplets? Alright! Qingge, do you want to set the theme? Or should I still go first?”

【I'll give the first line, you give the second.】

Su Qingge didn't hold back, choosing to take the initiative.

To be honest, “couplets” were not her strong suit.

But the young girl firmly believed that Lin Xuan was about the same.

After all, compared to four-character idioms.

“Couplets” were a higher level of literary art, not easily matched by ordinary people.

Because the lines of the couplet needed to match in terms of meaning, rhyme, tones, and other aspects.

This required the use of various literary knowledge, such as rhetoric, historical allusions, etc.

The difficulty was extremely high.

If one didn't have enough literary knowledge, there was a high probability they wouldn't be able to come up with anything for a long time.

So this time… Su Qingge had 95% absolute certainty that she would absolutely not lose again.

“Let’s begin! Qingge, I’m ready.”

Gently stroking the flowing hair of the young girl in his arms, Lin Xuan urged softly.

At the same time, he quietly pulled out his phone again, opened the 【Strongest Couplets Collection】 app, and stood ready!!!

Under his gaze, Su Qingge made the first move.

On the white paper, as ink flowed.

Swish swish swish —

【Bright moon shines on the gauze window, every Kongming is Zhuge Liang.】

Looking at the couplet that leaped onto the paper, Lin Xuan, without haste, matched the second line.

“Clear breeze brushes the pond, every Qingfeng is Xu Zhimo.”

Experiencing this perfectly matched second line, Su Qingge couldn't help but give Lin Xuan a thumbs-up in her heart.

Good!

Well matched!!!

A bit interesting, huh?!

She hadn't expected Lin Xuan to appear rather unserious on weekdays.

But was his talent and literary skill actually this profound?

But thinking about it, it made sense… He was able to write so many classic songs that could be passed down through generations, so his talent was naturally beyond question.

It was normal that ordinary couplets wouldn't stump him.

Thinking of this.

Su Qingge gradually became serious, beginning to apply all the knowledge she had learned in her life.

She would go all out to defeat Lin Xuan, as this was the greatest respect she could show him.

As for Lin Xuan… he would first try his best to match the second line with his true knowledge.

Of course… if he couldn’t match it, then he would just have to cheat… 【Flowers bloom, flowers fall, flowers fill the sky.】

“Rain falls, snow flutters, snow covers the sky.”

【Zhu Bajie wears a suit and tie.】

“Son Goku wears a padded jacket and takes the bus.”

【Red carp and green carp and donkey.】

“White egret and gray egret and dove.”

【Boy hits tung nuts, tung nuts fall, boy is happy.】

“Girl gnaws duck head, duck head is salty, girl dislikes it.”

【Heaven against earth, rain against wind, continent against vast sky.】

“River against Han, green against red, Rain God against Thunder God.”

【Heaven as a chessboard, stars as pieces, who can play?】

“Earth as rice paper, rivers as ink, who dares to paint?”

...Half an hour later.

The two were still going back and forth, neither giving way.

One wrote furiously, the other answered fluently.

Soon, another two and a half minutes passed.

The two sides had already fiercely exchanged hundreds of couplets.

And it was only then that Su Qingge gradually felt a bit overwhelmed.

She racked her brains, making the final stubborn struggle of a female top student… 【Ten mouths, one heart, thinking of you, thinking of the country, thinking of the society.】

In response.

Lin Xuan’s teasing “hehe” sound came through.

At the same time, the young girl felt her cheek being gently kneaded.

“Eight eyes together, appreciating flowers, appreciating the moon, appreciating… Qingge.”

Pfft —

Completely defeated ah w(ﾟДﾟ)w!!!

Su Qingge was so frustrated she wanted to vomit blood, doubting her life.

What she thought was a sure-win game had now ended in a complete mess.

Not only was she completely crushed by the other party, but she was also teased in return Ծ ‸ Ծ~~

【I’m not playing anymore, (o_ _)ﾉ I’m not playing anymore, I lost.】

【You are indeed stronger than me.】

Although a bit unwilling.

But Su Qingge was not a sore loser; a loss was a loss.

Lin Xuan had defeated her with true talent and knowledge.

And she had indeed given her all, so there was nothing to regret about losing; in fact, she even felt a little… admiration.

Because she herself quite liked talented people.

Now that Lin Xuan had completely crushed her, it naturally made Su Qingge change her impression of him significantly.

Especially the exposure of his vast knowledge, which made Su Qingge feel as if she had uncovered another tip of Lin Xuan's iceberg.

Recalling the various miracles Lin Xuan had created recently… she vaguely had a feeling that this man… must still be hiding other big secrets.

Just as the young girl was lost in thought, Lin Xuan's excited voice came through.

“Little Qingge, you lost. So fulfill the bet! Come on, quickly call me Brother Lin Xuan.”

“Uh… I forgot you can’t speak yet. Then writing it down is fine too, quick quick quick~~”

Su Qingge: “…”

ε＝ε＝ε＝(＃＞д＜)ﾉ.

So cheesy~~

So embarrassing~~

Goosebumps popped up all over the young girl's body; she really didn't want to say it!!!

Even her own elder brother had never received such treatment… and now she had to address… a younger boy like that?!

This concubine cannot do it o(＞﹏＜)o~~

On the other side.

Seeing that the young girl was still silent, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and began his tactic of fanning the flames:

“ε=(´ο｀*))) Ah… it’s okay, Qingge.”

“You’re a girl, and you possess peerless beauty. Even if you don’t keep your word, I won’t blame you.”

Under the provocation, Su Qingge immediately became displeased.

What's wrong with being a girl?

I'm not one of those pretty faces who rely on their looks; I would never go back on my word?!

Thinking this, Su Qingge quickly paid her bet with a “swish swish.”

【Lin Xuan giegie.】

“Uh… why does your statement sound a bit ‘tea-like’?”

“Can you change it to Chinese characters! What’s with Pinyin, I was planning to show it off everywhere!”

(ÒωÓױ) Nani???

Hearing that Lin Xuan was going to show it off, Su Qingge immediately couldn’t lie still.

If she weren't unable to move, she would 100% jump up, snatch the paper, and directly perform a humane destruction.

If this thing got out!

Then her cool image as the coldest female CEO of Modu would truly be gone.

Just as Su Qingge was racking her brains, wondering how to find an excuse to snatch the note back… outside the room.

A clear and pleasant voice came through.

“Onii-chan! Sister Qingge! I, Chen Kexin, am here.”

This voice… just by hearing it, Lin Xuan guessed who the visitor was.

That brat, coming to ruin my beautiful “snuggling” time again.

Lin Xuan’s mouth twitched, and his peripheral vision glanced at the door, immediately thrown off by Chen Kexin’s new look.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses.

Dressed in a dark blue suit, with a white shirt underneath, and a red bow tie around her neck… At this moment.

Detective Chen Kexin, Appearance!!!
