"Don't let her look at the computer all the time, it's not good for your eyes." Ning Xueqing admonished, and then went out.

Although the communication between them was not very close, her tone today was obviously much more relaxed than the previous two days.

Closing the door, Sugar Candy quickly ran to the desk and opened the drawer, taking out a box of chess. Laying the cheap plastic chessboard on the table, she looked at Huo Bufan expectantly: "Dad, can you play chess with me?" ”

Huo Bufan originally wanted to call Ji Xiangning first, but seeing the strong expectation in Tangtang's eyes, he still chose to meet his daughter's request first.

Seeing that her father agreed, Tangtang was about to jump up happily, she quickly set up the chess pieces on both sides, looked up at Huo Bufan, and then hesitated: "Dad, why don't you go first?" ”

Playing chess, one of the few parent-child activities for this family.

Li Shuheng first taught Tangtang to play chess, wanting to show his ability to be a father.

Who knew that Tangtang was talented in this area, and it only took less than a month to kill him, and the annoyed Li Shuheng would never play with her again.

Now Tangtang thought that it was the stinky chess basket father in front of him, Huo Bufan smiled, since it was his daughter's "heart", he was not hypocritical, and took a step at will.

At this time, the doorbell rang, and Huo Bufan finished the second move before getting up to open the door.

To his astonishment, there was a young and beautiful woman standing outside the door.

The upper body is an earth-colored chiffon shirt, the lower body is a cyan high-waisted tube pants, a pair of black high heels on the feet, and decent makeup, showing a full mature femininity.

And that face has a beauty that is not much worse than Ning Xueqing, and above the straight bridge of the nose, there are slightly sharp eyes. swept at a glance, as if to see through people.

This woman is Ji Xiangning in Li Shuheng's memory.

Huo Bufan didn't expect that early this morning, Ji Xiangning would take the initiative to find here.

"Why, you're surprised to see me?" Since Ji Xiangning's voice is different from Ning Xueqing's, it looks very crisp, as crisp as a knife cutting tofu.

"I'm a little surprised, come in and sit, I just want to find you." Huo Bufan said, getting out of the way.

His attitude was a little casual, at least it had little to do with flattery, which made Ji Xiangning slightly stunned.

When Li Shuheng saw her before, he was always like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't even dare to look up at her. But today, there is an indescribable nobility in him.

This kind of temperament is not acted, but from the bones.

stared at Huo Bufan carefully for a few seconds, until the voice of the little girl Tangtang came: "Ah, it's Aunt Ji!" ”

Ji Xiangning's expression returned to normal, she walked into the room with a smile, and said to Tangtang, who was sitting at the table, "Do you miss Auntie?" Look, I've got a gift for you. ”

As she spoke, Ji Xiangning took out a Givenchy bracelet from her bag, walked over and bent down to help her put it on.

"Thank you, Aunt Ji!" Sugar Candy was very happy and kissed her on the face.

"That's good." Ji Xiangning smiled and touched her head, and it could be seen that she had a very good relationship with the little girl.

looked at Ji Xiangning, and then at Huo Bufan, Tangtang suddenly asked, "Dad, do you have something to do?" Then let's play chess next time. ”

The words are very heartwarming and sound very well-behaved, but children are children after all, no matter how sensible they are, the true emotions in their hearts still don't know how to hide them.

Seeing the unconcealable loss in the little girl's eyes, Huo Bufan was reluctant to let her down, so he sat down at the table with a smile and said, "It's okay, Dad can talk while playing chess with you." ”

"Really!" Tangtang immediately became happy again: "Then if you lose, don't say it's Aunt Ji who bothers you!" ”

"Don't worry, I won't blame anyone else." Huo Bufan said, looked at Ji Xiangning again, and said, "Sit down first, I'll accompany her in the next game, and talk about it as you go." ”

"You're not afraid that I'll turn around and leave?" Ji Xiangning asked.

"If you left so easily, you wouldn't have come here so early. It's an elite of a big family, so it's not so stingy, and you have to fight for a child's time. Huo Bufan casually took a step of chess.

Ji Xiangning frowned slightly, she could clearly feel that the man now was very different from before, both in tone and behavior.

What changed him?

Ji Xiangning guessed some reasons, but she didn't take the initiative to ask, for her, being able to come here in person was already very face-saving, how could she ask anything again.

Ning Xueqing has a very good relationship with her, and has also given her very important help, whether it is based on personal feelings or other reasons, Ji Xiangning hopes to make Ning Xueqing's life better.

Therefore, she asked Li Shuheng to be her driver, even if this guy was very unpopular, she still tried to restrain her emotions.

For two months, Ji Xiangning has been waiting for Li Shuheng to go to work, but there has been no news.

Later, she called Ning Xueqing to inquire, only to learn that Li Shuheng had been staying at home and waiting for death, and had no intention of going back to work at all.

After hesitating for a few days, Ji Xiangning finally couldn't help but come here.

She prepared a lot of reprimands, but as soon as she met today, the man who had made her want to kick in the river gave her a completely different feeling.

Even Ji Xiangning faintly felt a sense of oppression, obviously the other party didn't say anything, but it seemed that everything was under his control.

Those prepared scoldings are also blocked in the throat and cannot be spoken.

Just like now, Huo Bufan provoked her with a child, and Ji Xiangning had no way to refute it.

Whether you leave or quarrel, you are admitting that you are competing with a child for time.

"After staying at home for two months, I learned sharply." Ji Xiangning let out a dissatisfied snort, and then said coldly: "Seeing that you are in good spirits now, you should have taken care of your body, why don't you go to work yet?" Do you really expect Xue Qing to support you? You're a big man, no matter what has happened, you should have a little bit of manly dignity! ”

"Grand Commander." Huo Bufan's car sank to the bottom, and the commander of the artillery set up, looked at Ji Xiangning at the same time, and said: "Actually, it's quite a coincidence, I originally wanted to call you today to talk about going to work, but you came." ”

"What a coincidence, do you think I'll believe it?" Ji Xiangning sneered.

"Believe it or not, it doesn't make much difference, the important thing is that I will go to work from tomorrow, no matter how big the commander is, you have no chess." Huo Bufan put down the chess pieces and said.

The little girl sitting opposite looked at the chessboard in a daze, as if she couldn't believe that she had lost so quickly.

That is, when she first learned to play chess, she was easily defeated by Li Shuheng, and in the later stage, she was basically unilaterally tortured and killed.

Originally, Tangtang was still thinking that her father finally accompanied her to play a game of chess, whether to let go of the water and let it go. Who knew that Huo Bufan's chess move was too sharp, and he didn't give her too much chance to resist at all, and she would be checkmate if she divided five by two.

"It's not bad, if you hone and hone again, you can try to get a third-level chess player next year." Huo Bufan smiled and touched the little girl's head as a comforter.

This is not a boast, Tangtang's chess skills are really good, among amateurs, it can be regarded as very good, no wonder Li Shuheng will be killed by her. On weekdays, I have nothing to do, but I run around the streets, comparing with the old men who like to play chess nearby.

The old men who boasted of being invincible in the world were almost unable to eat the food they had been hit by her.

To be able to reach this level at the age of seven and only learn chess for a few months is quite amazing.

When Huo Bufan was young, he also learned chess for a few years, and at the age of seventeen, he even won the third place in the national individual chess competition. If you have the patience to come back for another year, it will not be a problem to win the championship.

It's just that as the most promising person in the Huo family, playing chess is at most a hobby in his leisure time, and he can't become the focus of life, so Huo Bufan's road to grandmaster is broken like this.

Over the years, he has played more Go, which is more complex than chess, and has also exercised his logical thinking ability. Still, it is more than enough to teach a little girl who is only seven years old and has not reached the third level of chess.

Ji Xiangning pouted beside her and said, "Winning a seven-year-old girl, what is there to be proud of, and I am not ashamed!" ”

She shouldn't be good at chess, and she can't see Candy's amazing talent. Huo Bufan smiled slightly, and didn't refute, but Tangtang couldn't help but cry out for his father: "Aunt Ji, Dad is really amazing today!" ”
