Chapter 198: Breaking the News
If Lin Yu is not mistaken, the rules of the chess competition should be written that the champion in the regional selection tournament can advance to a higher-level competition, take Yangcheng as an example, there are more than 100 regional match points, and the champions of these match points all participate in the city-level competition, and there are more than 100 players, so the runner-up and third runner-up still have to be eliminated in the competition.
Lin Yu watched the little boy come step by step, and it may be more difficult for him to finally enter the competition for the championship and runner-up than any of the children present. Of course, Lin Yu didn't want the little boy to stop there, he wanted to see the boy win on a bigger platform, such as the champion of Yangcheng City, or even the champion of the national competition.
Lin Yu knew that the little boy needed a kind of affirmation, and with this affirmation, the little boy might understand the meaning of his life in society and the value of the life he picked up from the garbage heap in the aquatic market. In the little boy's heart, maybe he has always felt that he is superfluous, what is the life to be picked up for? The little boy in the past has never figured it out, and it is because of this that he will give up on himself and take pranks for fun.
A chess tournament that is very ordinary in the eyes of normal people made Lin Yu see another side of the little boy, he would be nervous and scared about the things he cared about, and he would constantly think about the chess game he might encounter for the victory he wanted, this may be the first time in his life that the little boy took something seriously, and he seemed to find some meaning in life here.
Lin Yu was very fortunate to help the little boy register for the chess tournament, and the little boy finally realized that there would be something in his life that was worth fighting for, which would fascinate him and make him forget to sleep and eat, a feeling that he had never experienced in the orphanage in the past.
I have to say that the change in the little boy is very significant, Lin Yu still remembers the first time he saw him, the little boy showed a demonic smile on his face because he threw a dead mouse into the rice pot.
Now this smile is almost invisible on his face, replaced by seriousness and nervousness in dealing with things, and a desire to win. The little boy should not go back to the past, Lin Yu made a conclusion in his heart, recently, he saw that the little boy showed more and more well-behaved and a kind of self-motivation that only adults have, which is undoubtedly commendable among children of his age.
Therefore, Lin Yu especially hopes that the boy can win the championship match, such a chess game may be dispensable to other children, but it means a lot to the little boy, and his life may be changed because of this, which is the result that Lin Yu and the old dean want to see.
As time passed, Lin Yu found that the duration of the championship and runner-up competition had exceeded an hour, and he was very worried about whether the little boy's physical strength could sustain it, and he was afraid that the little boy would really meet an opponent who he was invincible.
Finally, the doors of the arena were opened, and some parents flocked in, mixed with reporters from several newspapers, who wanted to see who the child who won the match point was who was sacred.
Lin Yu used his best strength to squeeze in the front, he saw the little boy get up from his seat at this time, maybe it was because of too much physical exertion, he swayed from side to side when he stood up, and he stabilized his figure by holding on to the table in front of him.
The boy's expression was a little dazed, he turned his head and began to search in the crowd, and finally found Lin Yu standing at the front, and the boy's somewhat pale face showed a shallow smile.
Lin Yu understood this expression at once, the boy won the competition, and he was the champion of this match point!
Lin Yu's eyes couldn't help but moisten, he once asked the little boy why he didn't smile since he won the game, so the little boy would greet Lin Yu with a smile every time he won the game, and this time it was the same. The smile on the boy's face was a code that didn't need to be said between them.
The results of the competition were announced shortly afterwards at the Children's Palace, where the boys were presented with a prize belonging to the champion, a symbolic gold medal and a certificate of honor. The little boy stood on the podium with a shy smile, and the reporters in the audience snapped a photo of him with a gold medal and a certificate of honor.
Walking out of the Children's Palace, the boy soon fell asleep in the taxi, Lin Yu hugged him and touched his hair, and secretly said in his heart, I have worked hard today.
The boy was obviously more tired than yesterday, and even though the taxi had stopped in front of the orphanage, the boy still had no intention of waking up.
Lin Yu saw that he was sleeping soundly and couldn't bear to disturb him, so he whispered to the taxi driver, "Master, please go around again, try to drive slower..."
The dean didn't get the news until the next day, because he saw the photo of the little boy winning in the Yangcheng Daily, the champion of the regional competition?
No wonder I was so quick to be... , The dean remembered the scene of the game with the little boy that day, and still felt that his face couldn't hang it, but seeing that the little boy was so strong, his heart was relieved, and he read the news report several times from beginning to end, and his brows began to wrinkle slowly.
Because the dean found that the report did not mention anything about the little boy's life experience, only introduced his name and age, and roughly described the fierce situation of the championship and runner-up competition, and did not mention the social welfare institution he managed at all.
The director felt that the fact that the children in the orphanage had won the regional championship in the chess tournament was definitely a worthy achievement, and he had to let the newspaper reporter know about it, so that his name and the social welfare institution might appear in the news.
The dean checked the phone number of the newspaper, and after the phone was connected, the dean said as a whistleblower, "Today's newspaper, the champion of the chess tournament, in fact, is actually an orphan..."
Lin Yu also held the Yangcheng Daily in his hand, looking at the smiling face of the little boy receiving the award, Lin Yu's heart was full of pride. Zhou Guanghua happened to walk by his side at this time, and when he saw the eye-catching six words of chess champion, his footsteps couldn't help but stop.
However, after he found out that it was just a children's competition under the age of ten, Zhou Guanghua said disdainfully, "It's just a children's competition, what's so beautiful." ”
Lin Yu smiled meaningfully, and didn't say anything, the city-level competition was held in ten days, and the venue turned out to be at Yangcheng University...
