Chapter 195: Like a Great Enemy
Lin Yu also had this feeling, but only when he took the college entrance examination, he was too nervous before the game, and it was not beneficial to participate in the competition at all.
Now the little boy is in a similar situation, he should not feel any pressure at his age, but he didn't expect that he would not even be able to eat breakfast for a chess match. "Have you been nervous, how did you sleep last night?" Lin Yu asked with concern.
The little boy lowered his head a little frustratedly, and he also noticed that because he was too nervous, his state was not as good as usual, "I didn't sleep well last night, and as soon as I fell asleep, I dreamed that I was playing chess in a game, and I woke up again." ”
Lin Yu looked at the little boy with some worry, he was afraid that the boy would repeat his mistakes in the college entrance examination room, and more importantly, the sensitive character of the little boy would make it difficult for him to be easy on the road of life in the future. However, no one can change this kind of thing for him, the chess game is only the first major event in his life at this stage, and he will encounter many more important things than the chess game in the future, which will depend on him to exercise a more mature mind to face them one by one.
"If you can't eat, just drink a few mouthfuls of porridge," Lin Yu brought a bowl of white porridge to the little boy, "Don't take the competition too seriously, you should try to enjoy the process of competing with others." ”
Lin Yu didn't know if the little boy could understand this, but he still obediently drank a few sips of white porridge, and his eyes were soon in a state of loss of focus.
After breakfast, Lin Yu took a taxi to the location of the competition, and because the distance was not far, the meter arrived at the destination without jumping.
This is a children's palace in a prosperous area, although it is still very early, but there are already many parents with children in the square and inside the children's palace, most of them are a family of three, and the parents are full of a proud smile on their faces.
Compared with them, the combination of Lin Yu and the little boy is a bit out of the ordinary, after all, anyone can see at a glance that Lin Yu is not the parent of the little boy, but it is like an elder brother with a younger brother coming to participate in the competition, but the age gap between the two brothers is a little too big.
Lin Yu noticed that the little boy's palm was still a little cold, so he could only gently squeeze the boy's palm to show spiritual encouragement. After the report, the boy got a number that belonged to him, and the subsequent games will be conducted according to the draw, and the boy only needs to participate in the game according to his number in the corresponding position.
Lin Yu stood at the door of the Children's Palace and took a look, and found that the space inside had been transformed into a large competition venue, with many small wooden tables and chairs densely placed inside, and a simple visual inspection should be able to allow hundreds of people to compete at the same time.
Of course, the little boy had never seen such a scene, and when he saw the table set up like a square array inside, and the crowd outside, he immediately wrote all his timidity on his face.
The results of the draw were soon announced, and the boy's opponent was a little friend with the number 98, and the name should be a girl. Thirty minutes before the start of the game, Lin Yu took him to the rest area on the second floor, and also bought a bottle of mineral water for the boy at the commissary by the way.
"Are you thirsty, drink some water," Lin Yu unscrewed the lid of the mineral water bottle and handed it to the little boy.
The little boy took the water bottle but didn't drink it, and there was always a restless look on his face. Lin Yu felt that it would definitely not be possible for the boy to participate in the competition in such a state, he had not slept well or eaten, and now he couldn't even drink water. Playing chess, an intellectual game, requires calm and calm thinking, and the boy has been so nervous that he will definitely not be able to play at the level he should have.
To calm him down, Lin Yu said silently in his heart, now the place where they are sitting is a little noisy, and there are many children running around or making high-frequency sounds unique to children. According to Lin Yu's observations, there was no trace of nervousness on the faces of these children, as if they had just come to participate in a special game.
Lin Yu also hoped that the boy could have such a mentality, but the little boy was indeed incompatible with the surrounding environment, he sat in his seat without saying a word, his eyes always looked at the distance as if he was thinking about something, and the expression on his face always looked like he was facing a great enemy.
Lin Yu secretly observed for a while, and suddenly he was relieved, the boy really wouldn't behave the same as other children, because everything on him was special. Whether it's his origins, his IQ, or his addiction to chess, he's certainly the most special of all these kids who play the game. Therefore, it is not surprising that he will behave like this now, chess and this game are precious things in the life of the little boy.
It's just that the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to fail, Lin Yu doesn't want the little boy to leave with disappointment, his strength is worthy of the little boy to get the confidence he deserves.
"That mp3, did you bring it here?" Lin Yu suddenly asked the little boy.
The boy seemed to have finally woken up from his contemplation, and he nodded and said, "With it." ”
Lin Yu motioned for the boy to hand over the mp3 to him first, and after he opened it, he found a piano piece by Beethoven "Moonlight" from it. "Listen to the song, don't think about it so much," Lin Yu said this, and hung the earphones on the boy's ear.
Although the boy didn't say it explicitly, Lin Yu could also guess that what he had been thinking about must be a variety of chess tactics, although the game hadn't started yet, the little boy might have played countless games of chess in his head. His mind is much more mature than his peers, and in the face of a competition of this magnitude, the boy cannot be as easy as other children.
However, piano music is the most relaxing music, and even studies have shown that listening to piano music often can also improve people's IQ, so Lin Yu will think of this trick to divert attention, with the melody of piano music, the little boy's turning brain should be able to take a temporary rest.
"Moonlight" is a very soothing song, Lin Yu can imagine that the beautiful and slow melody is now sounding in the boy's ears, and soon, the boy's eyes are really not so focused, his expression is a little more relaxed, and his body, which has been stiff, slowly leans back on the back of the chair.
Ten minutes later, the same voice sounded on the radio up and down the Children's Palace, "The first round will start immediately, please enter in order." ”
