"Si Qi, you have a game at night, why don't you go back to my house first and let my dad practice for you?"

Not long after leaving the Qifeng chess room, He Lan made a very considerate suggestion.

Zhao Siqi looked at her: "He Lan, I agreed with you to spend today together, I won't forget, from now until the start of the challenge, with you by my side, my heart will not be chaotic." ”

"Don't be kidding, where do I have as much of a role as you say?" He Lanqiao/face is slightly red, and her voice is soft, like a spring breeze.

"If you don't believe me, come, touch it." Zhao Siqi grabbed He Lan's left hand and pressed it to the position of his left chest.

"Don't make a fuss! There are a lot of people here. He Lanqiao's face turned redder, struggling to get rid of Zhao Siqi's hand.

Zhao Siqi held her hand tighter, and quietly blew softly in her ear, "Don't speak, feel it well." ”

At this time, He Lan's ears were also red, and she snorted, and then squinted obediently to feel Zhao Siqi's heartbeat.

Plop, plop......

The sound of a powerful heartbeat came from the palm of his hand, causing He Lan to have a strange feeling.

"Si Qi, are you really not nervous about the special game at night?" Looking at Zhao Siqi with wide eyes, He Lan asked rather unexpectedly.

"Nervous about what? A strong chess player is definitely not sharpened in battle, but in order to meet the huge challenge in advance. When Zhao Siqi said this, his eyes were sharp, so that He Lan did not dare to look directly.

"Well, it seems that my worries are unfounded." He Lan slowly put his mind at ease.

"That means you have me in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't be worried about me, wouldn't you?"

Zhao Siqi flexed his left index finger and gently scratched He Lan's nose.

"Hmm...... Don't make a fuss, or I'll ignore you. He Lan said half-truthfully.

Zhao Siqi laughed, which made He Lan a little angry, broke away from Zhao Siqi's hand, ran into the distance, and beckoned to Zhao Siqi, "Siqi, come on, chase me!" ”

……

In the living room of Master Lu Qing's house, Wei Jianguo sat opposite him, and between the two was a set of Chaoshan Kung Fu tea tea sets, white smoke was rising from the purple clay pot, and the pale green Tieguanyin tea in the three purple sand cups with finished characters was eight points full, and the tea was freshly brewed, and there was still heat.

Coming out of the Qifeng chess room, Master Lu Qing originally wanted to ask Zhao Siqi to his house to discuss the evening game, but he heard Zhao Siqi say that he had already made an appointment with someone else, and when he knew that Zhao Siqi was dating a girl, Master Lu Qing and Wei Jianguo were so angry.

After all, the North-South Chess Player Challenge in the evening is not only about personal honor, but also about the face of Southern chess players, and it really can't be taken lightly.

It's just that at this time, Zhao Siqi is still thinking about his children's personal affairs, where can he still take the challenge that night as a thing?

Wei Jianguo picked up a cup of kung fu tea, shook the aroma in front of his nose and inhaled it, and reveled for a while before he spoke: "Old Lu, don't be angry, maybe Zhao Siqi wants to reduce pressure by talking about love." ”

"Old Wei, how can you help Zhao Siqi speak? Now that we've become a group, we have to have one heart, so he should put aside his personal affairs for a while and have a good run-in with us, right? Master Lu Qing drank a cup of kung fu tea, and then put the teacup back on the tea tray.

Wei Jianguo couldn't help but smile and said: "Old Lu, relax, if your current state continues to defend at night, the result may make you unable to perform at a normal level!" ”

"Okay, I know this, anyway, I'm just angry, when is it, can't this Zhao Siqi take his heart? There is a chance to fall in love after he has a chance to prepare for this challenge, and he can talk about it as much as he wants after getting the bonus. Master Lu Qing complained again.

Wei Jianguo couldn't help but smile at this: "You and I have been young, young people's thoughts are understandable!" ”

Master Lu Qing slowly calmed down the anger in his heart, and then shook his head, "No matter, anyway, let's do our best, look, this is the list that Zhou Qifeng gave me, which is the name of the northern chess player that the three of us will play against at night." ”

Wei Jianguo put the teacup back on the tea tray, took the list and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be stunned, "These chess players, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps?" Why do I feel the cool air coming out of the soles of my feet? ”

Master Lu Qing said: "Don't drop the chain temporarily, the current situation, we can't help but quit!" ”

"This Wang Yixiong, but the most prestigious master in the northern capital, once met Lao Lu in the National Chess Championship, and was defeated by you in chess, and then he threatened to compete with you again, but he never found a chance. Unexpectedly, he actually came to join in the fun this time, it seems that he wants to avenge that arrow! ”

"Yes, I was also a little surprised to see him appear on the list, and I believe that since this Wang Yixiong dares to provoke the banner of the team leader, he must have come with great confidence, and against him, I feel that I have half the victory and defeat, and this time it is the challenger who takes the red first, and his winning rate is higher."

When Wang Yixiong was mentioned, Master Lu Qing's eyes showed a helpless look.

Because he and Wang Yixiong are old enemies, they have had more than one battle, winning and losing half, but they lost to Master Lu Qing in the most important national competition, Wang Yixiong naturally held a grudge against Master Lu Qing, and wanted to find the field again.

"This Wang Yixiong, I'm afraid only Lao Lu can deal with it, neither Zhao Siqi nor I have experience in playing against him, and we may fail against him." Wei Jianguo analyzed.

"However, this time the challenger can be combined at will, and we can only passively face it, so it is unknown who Wang Yixiong will choose to play against." Master Lu Qing felt a little helpless in his heart.

"It's okay, there are a total of thirty games of chess between the two sides, as long as the three of us have sixteen games together, whether we win or draw, we will all succeed." Wei Jianguo smiled and comforted.

But Master Lu Qing still had a solemn face, he pointed to the list of northern chess players, and asked Wei Jianguo: "Old Wei, in addition to Wang Yixiong, among the other opponents, how many are you sure you can win?" ”

Wei Jianguo pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "If you take the results of the game half a year ago as the target, I think I am sure that there are three winners, and two who have a chance to draw." ”

"Oh, who is it?" Master Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked.

"Chen Wolong, Liu Feiyu, and Bi Hui didn't play well on the spot, and I can fight hard to succeed. The strength of Meng Liang and Li Zan is on par with me, and I have the opportunity to make peace with them. Wei Jianguo said matter-of-factly.

"Counting their improvement in half a year, Lao Wei, you are also improving, so this prediction can be established." Master Lu Qing nodded.

"Old Lu, what about you? How sure are you against the players on the list? Wei Jianguo asked with concern.
