As far as the eye can see, there is a white piece, and on the chessboard, there are only a few dots of ink.

Even if Xiao Yan played extraordinarily in this game, he could be at Xie Ning's level, and he should not be pressed like this.

Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and he walked to Xiao Yan's side, his eyes fell on the incense that was about to burn out on the case, and many speculations appeared in his mind for a while.

He couldn't see Xie Ning's weakness at this time, he might have played the chess game like this, presumably when she just coped, I am afraid she didn't have much thought.

There was silence in the room for a while, Qin Feng didn't speak, but Xiao Yan didn't know Xie Ning's abnormality, and directly opened his mouth to urge: "Sister Xie, now that even Qin Ziyue is here, if you hesitate any longer, the outcome of our game will be decided." ”

As soon as Xiao Yan said this, it also made it clear that Qin Feng was present. Xie Ning couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, so he had to take a deep breath, raised his eyes as usual, and bowed slightly in the direction of Qin Feng, Fang turned his head to look at Xiao Yan opposite, and said with a wry smile: "Now that the shape is clear, it is useless to struggle again." I lost this game, and Shainin bowed to the upper hand. ”

Xiao Yan didn't expect her to be so serious, so she suddenly panicked, and subconsciously looked at Qin Feng, but she couldn't get any hints from the latter.

In this way, Xiao Yan had no choice but to turn his head in disgust, clenched his hands into fists, put them to his lips and coughed lightly in disguise, before he said to Xie Ning: "Sister Xie is serious, winning or losing chess games is a common thing. If you're new to chess, it's also a decent way to play against others. We played rapid chess, and it was actually me who took advantage of it, so it's not surprising that we had this result. ”

Shainin didn't answer.

Xu knew that his words were not convincing, and the expression on Xiao Yan's face was a little embarrassed for a while. Seeing this, Xie Ning just wanted to come forward to make a round, when Qin Feng's voice came from his ears.

It is clearly a familiar timbre, every word falls on the heart like a breeze, it is a clear and dirty mountain spring stream, but after confluence, it gathers into a vast river.

But at this moment, it brought Shainin a very strange feeling.

The voice was extremely cold, and the tone was extremely cold. The sentences are extremely cold, and even the attitude of the speaker is extremely cold.

And this is not Shainin's delusion.

"The essence of chess is to be quiet. If the mind is not quiet, the thinking is not pure, and when the game is played, it will naturally fall behind. Shainin. Are you unwell today? ”

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was a cold look on his face, obviously what he said in the end was a word of concern, but in Xie Ning's ears, it was more like a sarcasm.

If she's not mistaken. This should be the first time Qin Feng called her name in person. But I didn't expect it to be in such a situation.

As if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, Xie Ning was defenseless against Qin Feng's accusations, but when he thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with what the other party said.

Shainin's eyes dimmed for a moment.

No matter what the reason, she did lose this game of chess, but not only to Xiao Yan, but also to herself.

If her heart is so easily disturbed by external objects, I am afraid that her chess skills will not be of any benefit.

There was a faint dull pain in his heart, and Xie Ning only felt very ashamed at this time, and his face was hot. But he still had to bite the bullet and replied to Qin Feng: "I don't feel unwell today, when I was playing the game, I was indeed a little distracted. Not in the future. ”

Due to Wei Tingcheng's presence, Qin Feng didn't have much to say at this time, just had a cold face, nodded slightly, and said in a light tone: "It's good for you to remember it yourself." ”

At this point, Xiao Yan could naturally detect Qin Feng's abnormality, and secretly wondered how to make peace in his heart, but also secretly made a "stop" look at Qin Feng.

"Now that we're all here. Let's go out to eat first. I see that Xiao Er has also come out and gone in several times, presumably if we delay it like this, the dishes on the table will be cold. ”

"Hmm," Qin Feng replied briefly. Xuan even took the lead and went to the outer room.

After Xiao Yan hurriedly chased out, only Xie Ning and Wei Chengcheng were left in the inner room.

"Sister Xie," Wei Tingcheng leaned over to Xie Ning's side, carefully pulled Xie Ning's sleeve, and said softly almost inaudibly, "You can't be distracted for a while because of me, right?" ”

The two also played against each other today. Even if Wei Qingcheng had been hanging his head before, he hadn't paid attention to the trend of the chess game, but when he saw the few sunspots left on the chessboard at this time, he still couldn't help but think about it a little more, and linked Xie Ning's distraction with himself.

Thinking of this, she felt more and more guilty in her heart.

"No, I-"

Xie Ning didn't expect her to be so careful, so he shook his head immediately, and was about to explain to her, but because of some scruples, he stopped talking just after speaking.

She was instructed by Qin Feng, except for the people close to the two of them, everyone else was kept in the dark.

Whether it is Wei Xiaomei or Uncle Hou. Shainin did not say anything to inform him.

The voice suddenly stopped, Wei Qingcheng became more and more concerned, and for a while, even his voice was raised, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine." Xie Ning barely squeezed out a smile, but the answer was only a sentence. After all, she couldn't explain much to Wei Tingcheng.

Wei Xiaomei glanced at Xie Ning with a hesitant expression, her eyes flickered, and she said in a low tone: "Sister Xie doesn't have to lie to me, I know that you are just messed up because of my angry behavior today." ”

When he raised his eyes, he saw that she looked like she was about to cry, Xie Ning frowned, and he couldn't help but feel secretly worried in his heart.

This is not the case, and she doesn't want Wei Xiaomei to blame herself too much, but in this situation, she can't make up a logical reason to explain to the other party.

But no matter what, she couldn't make Wei Chengcheng blame herself for all the mistakes.

"It really has nothing to do with you," Xie Ning stretched out his arm, shook Wei Qingcheng's hands hanging by his side vigorously, looked at her with a pair of apricot eyes, and deliberately emphasized in an accentuated tone: "You don't have to think too much." I lost the game, but it was my own fault. As you know, I've never had much interest in these things. I don't have a chance to play against anyone else except you, I don't have much experience in chess, and it's not uncommon to lose. ”

Lest he not be able to dispel Wei Tingcheng's suspicions, Xie Ning thought to himself for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to lose." Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, son - His Royal Highness King An said well, my mind is not quiet. This incident is also a lesson, so I'll pay attention to it in the future. ”

When Wei Qingcheng heard this, he put away the hesitant look on his face, nodded vigorously, and shook his right hand that was circled by Xie Ning. The other hand was released at the same time, and he walked out with her.

However, the atmosphere of this meal was very depressing, although Xiao Yan couldn't help but try to liven up the atmosphere, but Xie Ning and Wei Chengcheng always buried themselves in eating. Silent.

Although Qin Feng occasionally replied, his brief response made the whole room more and more deserted.

Xiao Yan is indeed a caring person. This can be seen not only in his slightly noisy chatter, but also in the dishes on the table.

Red and green, meat and vegetarian are appropriate. Cold vegetable soup, dim sum, wine and tea are even more common. What's even more reflective is that these dishes even include all the dishes that Shainin ordered last time.

It's a pity that the other party was kind, and Shainin had to live up to it.

She didn't have the heart to eat, she didn't have the heart to talk to Xiao Yan, and even she didn't want to care about what Wei Xiaomei thought, the only thought that filled her mind at the moment was to ask the person next to her on the right to ask Qin Feng well, and ask him why he deliberately hid it from her.

Everything Qin Feng did was for her good. She had never doubted that before. But today, she couldn't help but waver a little.

She didn't understand, since the other party could deliberately take time out to guide her, since he could teach her so harshly, and since he could spend energy on her so hard, why should he deceive her so much, let her learn these things that she didn't have to take at all, and she didn't have to learn at all.

Wei Tingcheng's casual words not only let her know the real content of the female official examination, but also made her suddenly realize. Why was Qin Feng so sure that she could become a female official, why did he personally come forward to guide her, why did he teach her to learn chess first, and why did he make a special suggestion. I want her not to waste what she has learned.

It turned out that if I wanted to become a female officer in the military department, the test was only about etiquette, chess, royalty, and archery.

The scene when the other party first mentioned to her the female officer examination is still vivid in her memory. At that time, the man with a noble status and outstanding temperament was close to her, with a heart and a firm eye. calmly told her the truth that the words were simple but the content was very profound, and he also told her in person that if she didn't want to be calculated by others anymore, she had to do her best to improve.

How long Qin Feng hid from her. Could it be that since then, he has deliberately deceived himself?

This qiē can't be a well-hidden scam, Qin Feng helped her out of the siege and intersected with her...... The two have been through so much together, is the other party just using her?

"Bang-"

Xie Ning's body trembled, and the chopsticks in his hand fell immediately. Coincidentally, the chopsticks fell on the pot of soup in front of her and Qin Feng, and a few drops of dark yellow soup were suddenly raised.

Qin Feng looked down at the stains on his body, couldn't help frowning, and took out an ink-colored square handkerchief from his arms, but stood up from his seat, "I'll clean it up." ”

As he spoke, he pushed open the door and turned to go out, but he didn't look at Xie Ning.

Xie Ning couldn't help but feel a little stuffy in his heart, but he couldn't explain the reason for this feeling for a while, and after gritting his teeth and making up his mind, he also stood up, and his eyes swept to Wei Qingcheng looking up at his figure, but he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

Fang Cai was too impulsive, she almost forgot that Wei Xiaomei was also here. Now that Qin Feng has walked out, if she also leaves, wouldn't there be only two people left in the room, Xiao Yan and Wei Qingcheng?

Xie Ning secretly frowned, glanced at Xiao Yan quickly, and secretly weighed it in his heart.

Not to mention the occasional bad taste when the other party gets along with him, Qin Feng has always been gentle and polite to others. This time he left the table with a cold attitude, even Xiao Yan was a little confused, and after opening his mouth slightly for a moment, he came back to his senses, and he had a guess in his heart for a while, and after sighing secretly, the expression on his face was back to normal.

"Sister Xie, sit down first," Xiao Yan naturally hooked the corners of his mouth, and mocked with a determined expression: "Qin Ziyue is this problem, according to me, Xijie should not wear white clothes." cares so much, and those who don't know think that any of us have provoked him. ”

"Huh."

Shainin glanced at him and sneered unabashedly.

Xiao Yan reacted to his gaffe at this time, and his look of annoyance only flashed, and then he laughed again, and said in a whitewashed manner: "Come on, come on, let's not wait for him, let's eat first." ”

It's no wonder that these two people are close friends, and their skills in concealing their feelings are really higher than one another. Xie Ning was suspicious of Qin Feng at this time, and he was unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little angry with Xiao Yan now, with a cold face, and he had no intention of going out to look for someone, but he didn't sit down according to Xiao Yan's wishes, but stood motionless.

"Thanks—"

Wei Tingcheng and Xiao Yan spoke at the same time, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more awkward. Although Xiao Yan didn't deliberately look away, he didn't turn his head to look at Wei Tingcheng, but his eyes flashed, and he stopped making a sound, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, so he poured a cup of tea into the teacup and drank it by himself.

"Sister Xie," Wei Chengcheng did not shy away from it, and after standing up from his seat suddenly, he looked up at Xie Ning, and said in a rare voice: "If you want to find His Royal Highness King An, just go and look for it." Anyway, I have a few words to ask Brother Xiao. ”

"Poof-" A sip of tea almost squirted out, Xiao Yan patted his chest soothingly, his face was surprised, and the rest was full of confusion. This is the first time he looked at Wei Qingcheng today, his eyes flashed, but he didn't say much.

After all, when he learned the news that Wei Tingcheng intended to come, he was faintly aware of the other party's intentions, although he was a little reluctant to deal with it, but after all, this matter was his mistake first, in the final analysis, if the other party was really suspicious, he should also give Wei Tingcheng an explanation in person.

Compared with his indispensability, Xie Ning was still a little worried at this time.

After all, the two in front of her are her friends, and when it comes to distant relatives, there is naturally no difference. It's just that Wei Tingcheng is cowardly, and he was frightened when he was young, so Xie Ning can't help but care for her a little more. It is reasonable to hesitate for a while.

Subconsciously glanced at Wei Tingcheng, Xie Ning was very surprised to find that the other party's expression was very calm and calm, and his heart was relaxed for a while.

After all, this matter is a matter between Wei Qingcheng and Xiao Yan, even if Xie Ning has a good relationship with them, he has no position to point fingers at them. What's more, from beginning to end, Xiao Yan clearly had no intention of Wei Tingcheng, and now that Wei Tingcheng has decided on a family affair, it is expected that even if these two stay together, there should be no incident.

She's an outsider, so it's better not to make a mess. (To be continued.) )
