That being said, it was too late to regret it.

Meng Shu tried to contact Director Muto to return the chessboard to him, but the answer he received was that there was no reason to take back the gift he had given.

"It's just an ordinary chessboard, it doesn't have any special meaning, please don't mind the teacher, you can use it to learn Go with peace of mind!" He said so, and then completely refused to take back the chessboard.

Peace of mind, peace of mind - other people may be able to use it calmly, but this kind of thing is placed by his side, Meng Shu always feels uncomfortable. He even wanted to directly call a courier to send this chessboard back, but he always felt uneasy about handing over such an expensive thing to someone else to be responsible for.

"Give it back next time I go to Tokyo."

Meng Shu thought for a while, and then Shen Jie, who was fiddling with chess pieces in the office, said that it was more reassuring that he would personally send this chessboard back.

"Okay, before that, let's have fun!" Shen Jie's eyes lit up, such a good chessboard by her side, if she didn't use it to play, she would always feel itchy in her palms, and Meng Shu and she had never had the same game to play, which was also Shen Jie's regret.

She had been looking for something that Meng Huo liked and could participate in by herself for a long time, and when she saw this chessboard, Shen Jie felt as if she had found it.

"Do you know how to play chess?" She asked Meng Huo excitedly.

"Hungry...... I haven't been down. Meng Shu shook his head, he had never formally learned Go, but the rules of Go were very simple, and he had heard it. However, it is unlikely that Shen Jie wants to discuss with him, and he will come back today to work a lot.

After talking to Shen Jie about work, Shen Jie's face showed regret. But then the eyes lit up again.

"It's always okay at night, at night!"

Meng nodded his head. He has time tonight.

"Then for the evening. I'll go to your apartment in the evening to show you how good I am. Shen Jie stood up excitedly, she originally had to rehearse at night, but now she decided to go to the office to change the time.

And before she left, Meng Shu suddenly thought of something and said to her: "By the way, call Han Xuan and them too!" ”

He still remembered Han Xuan's invitation before leaving Su Hua, and if he wanted to play a game at night, it would be better to call those young people together. Meng Huo is also a new scholar of Go, so it should be more fun for everyone to play together.

Shen Jie sank slightly, and then agreed, in fact, she wanted to call Alice, but Alice seemed to deliberately give her Meng Shu's time, she should not come over today.

In the evening, after Meng Shu got off work, Shen Jie came over with a few friends. They walked into Meng Huo's apartment and were stunned by the luxury of this apartment, and Liu Yi even muttered to himself: "This is more luxurious than the presidential suite of the hotel......

"You can use this place as a hotel." Meng Shu said with a smile. Then he looked at the other three cautious girls and said, "All right." Come in and sit down, this is just an apartment lent to me, don't worry too much about it. ”

This apartment was provided to Meng by the company, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his own, but when he said this, the teenagers were finally not so restrained. Liu Yun is the most outgoing, and after sitting down and chatting for a few minutes, the girl immediately stopped being nervous and clamored to play chess.

"Uh-huh...... I've heard it all from Shen Jie, why don't you be a beginner too, teacher? Let me abuse you! She didn't care about Meng Shu's identity at all, she wanted to abuse Meng Shu when she opened her mouth.

"Have you ever learned to play chess?" Meng Shu was curious, and then looked at the other three: "What about you?" ”

The three of them immediately shook their heads, which means that they have never learned to play chess, and Liu Yun's experience of learning chess is also interesting, she is Shen Jie's childhood sweetheart, when she was a child, she often challenged Shen Jie in all aspects by not admitting defeat, and naturally she also has an understanding of Go.

Two out of six people can play chess, and it's not a hassle to popularize science.

Meng Shu took out the chess and reminded him in particular: "I borrowed this chess from someone else, it is very expensive, don't break it." ”

Go is very difficult to break, the chess pieces are smooth jade, and the chessboard is also a good wood with a long history, as long as you don't hold a knife, you generally can't make a trace. However, it was too precious, and Meng Shu couldn't help but remind him.

He also deliberately observed the fingers of these friends, and the nails were well cut and should not rub against the chessboard. And seeing Meng Yu's solemn look, Liu Yun naturally didn't dare to mess around.

The first game is Liu Yun and Meng Huo, Shen Jie is explaining on the side, this game is learning, the purpose is to let Meng Huo and them learn the basics. However, after only ten minutes, Meng Shu was completely defeated, and was eaten to death by Liu Yun's white son......

"I think that's enough, let's end this game!"

Meng Shu stopped, he had already figured out the general method, and Liu Yi and the others also understood the rules.

"Hahaha, Meng Shu, you will also lose!" Liu Yun laughed, but her heart was a little empty, at first Meng Shu didn't know how to go down at all, it was just a casual abuse for her, but the way of walking in the later section slowly became old-fashioned, if she continued, the situation was likely to turn around.

Liu Yun is not a powerful chess player, but she can play against Shen Jie, who has won the championship, and her strength cannot be underestimated.

"The speed of progress is not like that of a beginner at all, Meng Shu is really a monster ......" Liu Yun thought so, and then said that he would not go down with Meng Shu again, what a pity that he finally won over the cartoonist, maybe he could go out and show off twice in the future, how could he get back to the field.

However, Meng Huo doesn't seem to mind, the time after that is the chess time of a few novices, and it takes longer to play Go than Meng Huo expected, and beginners play chess most of the time without thinking, but it takes an average of 20 minutes to play a game.

If you are familiar with the rules, this time will be further increased when you start to play chess.

Throughout the night, Liu Yi and the others each played about two or three games, Meng Huo also played a game with Liu Yi later, and Shen Jie never played the whole time, everyone accompanied her, and more importantly, there was no time.

Playing until eleven o'clock in the evening, Meng Shu sent them away with some regret.

"I didn't expect this thing to be so time-consuming." He apologized: "When the carnival comes, I'll find something else for you to come and play!" ”

"No, no, it's interesting!" Han Xuan and the others hurriedly waved their hands, although there were few opportunities to play, but Go was very fun, especially the feeling of so many people getting together was particularly lively, which made the four of them a little unsatisfied.

"I think I'll be able to play this next time." Liu Yi said.

Li Yu said a little excitedly: "Go is so handsome, I want to buy a pair to play after I go back." ”

"Then buy it, just so you all play, see who learns faster." Shen Jie raised her eyebrows: "I'll buy it for you, one pair per person, go back and practice hard, see who can challenge me in the future!" ”

No one was able to challenge her tonight, and she seemed a little sorry.

"Okay!" Liu Yun immediately clapped her hands and agreed, she turned her head to look at the other three, and the three of them also agreed with great interest.

This made Meng Shu very stunned, and after sending the four people away, he looked at Shen Jie who stayed in the apartment: "Challenge you?" Do you expect so much from them? Shen Jie shook her head, and then smiled: "I just think it's very good, there's something to play well...... Don't you think Go is particularly elegant? ”

Meng Shu shook his head.

"But playing Go calms the mind, which is a good thing." She looked at Meng Shu, her eyes shining: "And I think it's especially suitable for you, you look handsome when you play chess...... And usually you're so busy that it's good to have such a thing. ”

"So you're looking for me company?" Meng Shu smiled bitterly: "Do you think their progress can keep up with me?" ”

He watched for a night, and found that his learning speed was very different from that of the three friends, and under the unequal learning ability, Go was not a good thing to strengthen their bond, and Meng Xu felt that he could choose another amusement activity.

But Shen Jie doesn't think so, Go is just a tool, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, as long as it's interesting, and she is there. She wanted Meng Huo to continue playing chess and play with him, which must be a great thing.

"Meng Huo, you can consider drawing a Go comic." Shen Jie sat down in front of the chessboard, she picked up a chess piece with her index and middle fingers, and looked at Meng Shu with her eyes: "Come on, I'll tell you about its fun." ”

In tonight's game, Shen Jie has been watching from the side, and she can see that Meng Huo's comprehension is very high.

And when explaining, Shen Jie deliberately said some more difficult moves, even Liu Yun didn't react, but Meng Shu seemed to understand, if he didn't guess wrong, Shen Jie felt that the current Meng Shu's chess thinking had surpassed Liu Yun.

Of course, this is only thinking ability, his actual combat experience is close to zero, without actual combat, no matter how good his thinking is, it is empty. Many actual battles contain the essence of the thinking of countless historical chess players, and only through guò actual battles can chess skills grow.

However, Shen Jie felt that the current Meng Shu had the ability to experience the fun of the game, and the fun that Liu Yi and the others felt was only the beginner's curiosity about the newly learned skills and the appearance of the chessboard and chess pieces, rather than really liking the game.

To like Go, you first need to know how to think about it and how to play it. Meng Huo was very smart, and because of his cleverness, he was able to see the really interesting parts of Go faster than ordinary people - and Shen Jie wanted to take Meng Huo to this place.

She sat opposite Meng Huo, guiding him like a teacher, looking at Meng Huo's face thinking with chess pieces, Shen Jie suddenly understood why the chess players were obsessed with maintaining the traditional master-apprentice relationship in the past, perhaps this kind of inheritance and teaching itself is a kind of chess culture.

The Huaxia Weiqi Association gave Meng Shu the precious chessboard, perhaps in the hope that he could be passed on by it and thus get closer to their world of thought. If you want comics, it is more useful to make Meng Huo like Go than to be seduced verbally.

"They have to thank me......"

Shen Jie thought that if it weren't for her, Meng Huo might have sealed the chessboard. (To be continued......)
