On a sunny Saturday, Li Su walked into the library to pick up the Go he had reserved last night.

I have to sigh that the Kassel Academy is really a coquettish European aristocratic college, and the game of Go in his hand perfectly illustrates what is called low-key luxury. Just like the school uniform worn by Caesar looks no different from the school uniform of ordinary students, but the comfort of the top materials, the ease of the close-fitting cut and the name elegantly embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs all contain a touch of.

The same is true for this picture of Go. At first glance, it looks no different, but the chess pieces made of crystal clear jade are warm, and each one is round and beautiful. The chessboard is made of fine mahogany, which is carefully chiseled and then filled with molten silver threads. is like the guqin in Yu Boya's hand, which contains a lot of the world, but only seeks a happy person and a bosom friend.

In the end, Li Su walked into a small building, slowly walked upstairs and stopped in front of a room, where the laughter of two girls could be faintly heard.

The Kassel Academy is co-ed, and Susie and Nono live opposite Lu Mingfei and Fingal, thinking that Chu Zihang and Caesar were cooking back to back in it. As a result, he was able to reach his destination all the way.

Holding Go in one hand, Li Su stretched out his other hand and knocked lightly on the door, and the laughter inside disappeared. He waited patiently with Go in both hands, and after a while, the door opened, and a small face poked out.

She was a beautiful girl, with her hair coiled behind her head, and there was a hint of indifference and a hint of vigilance on her face, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Hello. I was looking for Inuyama-san, and I wanted to learn Go. ”

A funny look appeared on the girl's face, "We are both surnamed Inuyama, who are you looking for?" ”

Li Su choked. He was too nervous to make such a low-level mistake.

"I'm looking for Kotono Inuyama."

The girl looked at him carefully, and suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, and then a fierce light flashed in her eyes! It seems that she recognized Li Su's identity. Come to think of it, my friend was inexplicably tied up with a stranger in exchange for who would be angry.

Eventually, she calmed down. "She's not available."

"I'm so sorry." Li Su bowed, "Can you let me meet her?" Just see one side. ”

The girl looked at him and felt that this guy would be stubborn and not leave if he didn't see him, so it was better to see him so that he would die directly. Leaving a "wait a minute" and disappearing behind the door.

"Kotono, that guy is looking for you. Remember to reject him, the person who came up with this method to create public opinion must not be a good person! ”

She lowered her voice, but Li Su still heard it, and couldn't help but hold her forehead.

In fact, I knew that Fingal's lewd goods were definitely not the article written for him. Joke! Even Chu Zihang, the most emotional idiot in the academy, just "knows that his life is short and doesn't want to drag others down", in this place where elites are everywhere, there are really people who can't see that little trick? But at that time, he could only get off the donkey, after all, he couldn't really kill Fingal.

But now that I think about it, wouldn't it be better to kill that guy?

After a while, the familiar girl appeared behind the door, her face cold. "What's the matter?"

This time, Li Su controlled himself and was expressionless: "Hello, I want to learn Go from you." ”

"Go buy a book and study it on your own." After Kotono finished speaking, she wanted to close the door. Li Su gently opened a chess cup, and the jade chess pieces were haloed, and she suddenly couldn't move. She looked at Go and then at Li Su, who was expressionless, and finally made up her mind after thinking for a while, "I can't teach people, so I can only accompany you to play a few games." ”

"Yes."

"Then you wait for me."

After a while, Kotono reappeared in front of the door, and the previous single clothes had been changed into a neat school uniform skirt. She looked back at the girl behind her with an incredulous face, and left with Li Su after leaving a sentence. "Ayane, I'll go out for a while."

The two walked slowly in the shade of the sycamore trees on the side of the road, and finally Kotono stopped in front of a bench: "Here it is." ”

"Okay." Li Su answered, sat down on one side of the bench, placed the chessboard in the middle of the bench, and Qin Nai sat on the opposite side.

"By what rules?" Kotono watched Li Su put the two chess cups on the chessboard and asked out loud.

"Chinese rules, the number method is simpler." Li Su smiled.

"Yes, you can stick to the black, no need to post it."

"Let's post it." Li Su said.

"Do you think you have a chance to beat me?" Kotono raised an eyebrow, her arrogance as a professional fifth dan was provoked.

"It's not." Li Su shook his head with a serious expression. "In this way, it will be spread out in the future, 'Li Su lost to the professional fifth dan', not 'Li Su can't beat the professional fifth section without posting'."

"Hahaha, okay." Kotono covered her mouth and smiled, she was amused by Li Su's calmness. The people in the Japanese branch don't bow their heads, even if you defeat them this time, the other party is only admitting defeat on the surface, and what I want to do is to get the field back next time, and it is the first time she has seen Li Su who will be spared when she meets.

"Thirty seconds of rapid chess, a win of five games?"

"Okay."

—————————————

Fiasco.

Li Su hid his face with his hands, he didn't expect to lose so badly, he had a feeling of seeing Jiangdong's father without face, Qin Nai on the opposite side smiled slightly, it was quite a sense of accomplishment to defeat an A-level as a B-level.

In fact, Li Su guessed that he would lose, but he felt that his calculation speed was far from being comparable to that of ordinary half-breeds. Isn't it just a strengthened version of backgammon? Originally, I thought that even if I lost, it should be half a pound or something, but now...... Does he have ten or fifteen sons at the end of a game?

In fact, the victory and defeat were already known when the fiftieth hand was held, Li Su was clearly holding the sunspot but had completely fallen into the rhythm of the other party, the so-called "big dragon" was not to mention formed, and it was stillborn before he could grow up. Qin Nai on the other side breathed a sigh of relief, originally she thought that Li Sujing was going to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in the name of "learning". I didn't expect that he really wouldn't, he really came to learn. And it is clear that the black chess pieces are in the same position as hers, and they are taking the path of close entanglement...... Is this really backgammon? She rolled her eyes at the thought of this.

Li Su covered his face with his hands and slowly digested the game just now, and only put down his hands after a while. "Go ahead, next round."

————————————

Li Su frowned again. The opponent's trend was about the same as in the previous game, but the tip of the eighty-second hand Qin Nai's hand once again made him undecided, and the advantage was reversed instantly, and the 26 sunspots that originally formed an encirclement were surrounded instead, and the qi was about to run out.

"Do you want to surrender? That way, we can start the next round faster, right? And if you surrender, I can admit defeat in the last two games, so it's 'Li Su faced the professional fifth stage 3:2 defeat'? Kotono looked at him with a smile, her eyes curled into crescents.

"Actually, that's not the reason I posted," Li Su smiled. "The reason I'm posting is because I want to have a clearer understanding of the gap between me and the professional five-dan, and to have a deeper understanding of Go."

"And what did you learn?" Kotono asked him with a smile.

"Go is very ...... Infinity, I kind of understand why you love it. Li Su looked unusually serious, and reached out to drop a son before the last second. Let's go ahead. ”

In the end, he still lost, there was no suspense, Li Su continued to cover his face and think.

It took a lot longer than last time, but in the end, I finished thinking about it. He lowered his hand, "Go ahead, third game." ”

When Li Su left his second son, Qin Nai raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. In the first two games, Li Su's routine was to occupy the corner, and then he began to hang up and fight with her closely, but in this game, he continued to occupy the corner unusually, and the speed of progress was much faster than she thought.

But so what? Kotono smiled.

In the sixty-fourth move, White began to attack as soon as the trend turned, and one hand stabbed directly at the big dragon in the upper left corner of Black, and in the ninety-second move, the big dragon was slaughtered, and the last game was the fastest to lose.

Obviously losing three games in a row, Li Su didn't have a depressed look, and still looked at Qin Nai with a serious face. "That's my strength right now, I hope you can teach me Go next week, once a day, okay?"

"Although I can't borrow this Go game, it is enough for me to play a few games. What good is it to teach you? Kotono did not directly refuse.

"I'll treat you to a meal in a week." Li Su thought for a moment and replied.

"Invite a professional fifth-dan teacher for a meal? It's too beautiful, isn't it? Kotono looked at the boy sitting across from her with a smile in her eyes.

"Is that okay?" Li Su was unmoved.

"Hmm...... All right. Unexpectedly, she agreed.

"Then I'll come to you tomorrow." Li Su put away the game of Go. "I'll send you."

"It's dark, our school is also very safe, what to send? You're too anxious, aren't you, don't you think about covering it up? Kotono sat on the bench and squinted at Li Su, who was holding a game of Go in his hand.

"No, it's just a personal respect for women." Li Su's eyes were simple and clean, which surprised her a little.

—————————————

After sending Kotono downstairs to her dormitory, Li Su returned to her dormitory. He sat at the table without turning on the light, letting the moonlight shine on him, the chessboard was on the table, but no one fell, he just looked at the grid above in a daze, and the black and white in his mind rose and fell, like stars passing through the sky.

—————————————

Kotono lay on the bed and began to remember what had happened today.

Originally, she was very angry, first she was bumped into by the other party during a nap, and then the novel went viral in the night watchman's discussion forum. But then I thought about it calmly, and I had even seen Principal Angers's official travel bill in the discussion forum, which should be the usual thing of the Department of Public Information.

But I didn't expect this man to come to her to play chess.

Originally, she thought that the other party had something else on her mind, but he was just playing chess the whole time. Seeing the nose and nose and looking at the heart, even the eyes did not drift away, which made Qin Nao, who had always thought that he was in good shape, a little frustrated......

However, I don't hate it. She remembered the man's serious look and his exaggerated progress in the next period. In the second game, the mistakes he made in the first game never appeared again, but there was a problem with the most fundamental thinking, so he was easily defeated by her.

What really caught her attention was the third game, originally she thought that Li Su would struggle for a long time in the quagmire of close-quarters short fights, but she didn't expect him to understand in the third game that the core of Go is to create rather than destroy. What surprised her the most was that Li Su's first thirteen moves were completely imitating her first two games, but in the fourteenth move, she actually made her own move! Three games can form his own ideas, really give him a week, how far can he grow? For the first time, Kono, who had been living a three-point-one-line life, became curious about the people of the Kassel Academy.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and she stiffened when she saw the caller's name, and cold sweat slid down her forehead.

There is no surname or first name, just two simple words, "head of the house".

She didn't dare to slack off, and immediately answered the phone, her voice trembling and her face pale. "I'm very sorry, I didn't realize that playing chess violated the order to 'avoid communicating with the academy', and I won't have any contact with each other in the future."

But the imaginary rebuke did not come, but the voice was a little flat, and Qin Nai was stunned after listening to the words of the head of the house, unable to guess his thoughts.

What the head of the family said was: "Li Su's identity has not been determined, you can contact him to get more information." ”
