That night, Lao Shi and Lao Nie practiced a total of 5 games, and it was not until more than 2 o'clock in the morning that the two ended happily. Fortunately, Lao Nie is also a night owl, and it is common for him to stay up late to watch the World Cup, so Li Xiangping does not have to worry about damaging his old man's body.

There is nothing to say about the ending of Ze Panqi, but the process made Li Xiangping depressed. 5 games of chess, without exception, are the upper hand of Lao Nie, before the first 50 moves of each game, Shi Da Chess Saint did not even get a game of "two points".

Before going to bed, Li Xiangping communicated with his plug-in again:

"Brother Ding'an, through these 5 games of chess, have you ever found the problem of yourself?"

"This ...... Alas, Ding'an is indeed aware of his own shortcomings, but he is ashamed to say that what is the problem? Ding'an still has no clue. ”

Li Xiangping was sullen for a while, but he felt normal when he thought about it, because of his own plug-in, he really wasn't the kind of person with quick thinking and high understanding.

"Brother Ding'an, I heard that when you and his Xiping predecessors visited the capital for the first time, the Xiping seniors made rapid progress, and at the age of 16, they "became a national player", but your chess skills have been stagnant, and you have not taken off a first for 3 years, until you and Mr. Liang Weijin traveled to Niushan together, and were enlightened by Mr. Wei Jin, and finally became a generation of famous teachers, right? ”

"This ...... Why did Xiangping Xiaoyou suddenly mention this? ”

Li Xiangping laughed, and said in his heart that this is a famous "epiphany" story in the history of Go, you Lao Shi is the party involved, and you are in this situation, of course, I also want to find a master to guide you, I hope you can "have an epiphany" again, this is the only way I can think of now.

"Okay, Brother Ding'an, it's late at night, let's rest early, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Li Xiangping had actually made up his mind to find an opportunity to meet Lao Nie and ask this party to give Lao Shi a good guidance, but he didn't say anything about his plug-in now.

It's not because of anything else, it's mainly because Li Xiangping is not familiar with Lao Nie at all, no, no, no, strictly speaking, Li Xiangping doesn't know Lao Nie yet. He has been to the chess academy many times, but it is strange to say that in the days when he went to the chess academy to train, Li Xiangping never met Lao Nie once. In addition, he had heard from his old man that a few months ago, Lao Nie had intended to accept him as an inner disciple, but he pretended to refuse at that time......

It is precisely for this reason that Li Xiangping feels that he really can't take the liberty of coming to the door, at least to find a suitable time, or find an acquaintance to introduce him.

"Who are you looking for?" Li Xiangping didn't think of a suitable candidate for a while, and then fell asleep in a daze, and slept until noon the next day.

"Xiangping, hurry up, you guy, you're still sleeping lazy."

Li Xiangping was woken up by Zhao Daokai, looking at his dead friend, Li Xiangping said listlessly:

"Isn't it a holiday now, what am I doing if I don't sleep lazy? By the way, why did you come to the door so early, don't you have to draw a picture today? ”

Zhao Daokai glared at Li Xiangping: "Li Xiangping, I warn you, how many times have I told you, what I learned is called surrealist painting skills, not what I ...... to paint pictures."

Without waiting for Zhao Daokai to finish speaking, Li Xiangping smiled: "Okay, good, surrealist painting skills, surrealist painting skills, then Zhao Da painter, do you have anything to do with me today?" ”

Zhao Daokai's eyes widened: "Big deal, have you forgotten?" ”

Li Xiangping didn't react for a moment: "What's the big deal?" ”

"It's your daughter-in-law's birthday, didn't she invite us to her house?"

Hearing Zhao Daokai say this, Li Xiangping was happy, the "your daughter-in-law" in Zhao Daokai's mouth, that is naturally Cai Shanshan, now the three of them have officially become classmates for several months, but because of the preparation for the war, Li Xiangping can always find an excuse not to go to school, so strictly speaking, he and Cai Shanshan are actually not familiar with each other until now, at least not as familiar as Zhao Daokai.

However, if you are not familiar with each other, in private, the two still call her "your daughter-in-law and my daughter-in-law". Hearing Zhao Daokai mention this stubble, Li Xiangping remembered that Cai Shanshan had indeed invited herself to her birthday dinner. By the way, it was none other than the guy in front of her who helped her talk.

Li Xiangping joked with his dead friend: "You guy, my daughter-in-law celebrates her birthday, what are you doing so actively?" Didn't she invite us to dinner, and you came in a hurry at noon. ”

Zhao Daokai said: "Li Xiangping, aren't you, your daughter-in-law has a birthday, so don't you prepare some gifts for others?" Didn't I come over and talk to you about something? ”

Li Xiangping was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't think about this stubble. In fact, it's normal to think about it, if he said that the invitation he accepted was brought by someone else, he didn't pay much attention to it, and besides, he was a 31-year-old person, where would he deliberately want to prepare a gift for a 13-year-old girl's birthday.

However, I think Zhao Daokai is right, since he accepted the invitation of others, it seems really inappropriate to go empty-handed.

But what should I give? Li Xiangping thought for a long time and couldn't get the point, after all, the other party was just a 13-year-old yellow-haired girl, if she was a few years older, then Li Xiangping knew how to send anything. Li Xiangping even recalled Cai Shanshan in his previous life, and he didn't know what to send. Because he knew that Cai Shanshan was a scholar and later became a business elite, Li Xiangping didn't know anything about her interests and hobbies.

"Daokai, do you want to give it away?"

Zhao Daokai smiled: "That's your daughter-in-law and not my daughter-in-law, of course you have the idea this time." ”

"Fuck off, as if you had an idea before, by the way, who else did she invite besides the two of us?"

Zhao Daokai: "There are XXX,,XX,,XXX......."

Zhao Daokai reported a large list of names, but Li Xiangping knew that these were all his current classmates, but he was not familiar with any of these people.

However, if he is not familiar with it, Li Xiangping knows that these are all a bunch of rich people, because the school he is studying in now is the so-called aristocratic school, and the tuition fees are expensive, and the students in it are either rich or expensive, either the second generation of officials or the second generation of rich.

"Alas, it's boring, but for the sake of my father-in-law's face, let's think about what to send, okay......"

Yes, Li Xiangping is indeed ready to look at Lao Cai's face and think about what to give to his daughter, because Zhao Daokai's arrival reminded him, and if he wanted Lao Shi to ask Lao Nie for advice, his "father-in-law" seemed to be a good introducer. At least for the current self, Lao Cai should be the most suitable.

"By the way, what about Uncle Li, why don't you see Uncle Li at home?"

Hearing Zhao Daokai mention his father, Li Xiangping said: "I'm on a business trip, Boss Li's business is so big, don't go to the project to inspect it..... By the way, Dao Kai will let me go. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Hehe, let's go and see Boss Li's collection, just pick a gift in his collection."

Li Yuanhu has a hobby, that is, he likes to collect chess sets, although most of his chess sets are Go, but some of them are chess sets. In his previous life, Li Xiangping really didn't know that Cai Shanshan could play chess, but the first time he met her after he was reborn, he practiced a few games of chess with her, so Li Xiangping thought that it might be a good idea to get a good chess set as a gift.

The chess sets collected by Li Yuanhu were not hidden like treasures, so he used an empty room at home as a storage room, Li Xiangping led Zhao Daokai in, and among the few chess sets, he finally saw a pair that was quite satisfying.

"Daokai, what do you think of this, it's antique, it looks like an antique, I think you should be able to get it, right?"

Zhao Daokai picked up a chess piece and looked at it:

"What kind of material is this, don't be an antique, Uncle Li will come back and pick up your skin."

"The best chess pieces, of course, are made of rhinoceros horns, this material looks like it, but whatever, your Uncle Li put this chess on the shelf at will, it is estimated that he didn't spend much money when he was shopping for goods, and he will definitely not feel distressed if I take it away to give it away."

"By the way, you've got your gift, mine then."

"Stupid, don't you want a chessboard if you have chess pieces, I have already thought about it, I will send a chess piece, you send a chessboard, come on, let's pick another chessboard......"

When Li Xiangping was about to pick a chessboard, he felt wrong, he actually noticed a little strangeness in his plug-in.

"Brother Ding'an, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, seeing things and thinking about people, seeing this chess reminds me of an old man."

"Therefore...... Old friend? Who? ”

"Brother Lan Ru, this chess game is very similar to what Brother Lan Ru has hidden in his house."

"Huh!? Brother Lan Ru? Are you talking about Cheng Lanru, that Go and chess double national player Cheng Lanru? ”
