She took a few steps back in accordance with the current situation, her eyebrows tightened, and she immediately changed her words: "No, wait a minute, wait a minute, are you planning to last two generals?" ”

Looking at the corner of the man's mouth on the other side, Lin Ran put down the snack in his hand and laughed.

She pretended to glare at the other and said, "If I wasn't a good-natured person, I'd have to punch you hard now." ”

The process of playing chess was so pleasant that they seemed to have forgotten that the relationship between the two people could be called walking on thin ice, Lin Ran felt that if this matter was known by Mo Zhi or Old Man Lin, he would definitely feel that he had changed his personality and could play chess so peacefully with Zhou Huai'an.

But in fact, Lin Ran shrugged her shoulders slightly, she hadn't played chess for a long time, and her hands were already itchy, besides...... Zhou Huai'an is a rare good opponent.

But who cares about that?

Zhou Huai'an put the pinched walnuts in the small plate with his other hand, and responded: "I just want to say hello to the opponent who is playing for the first time." ”

"Uh-huh, this 'greeting' really hit me in the nose." Lin Ran smiled and returned her gaze to the chessboard, "I have to say, you are really deep enough." ”

"I bet most of your subordinates in your company must have a grudge against you?"

"That's what everyone who knows I'm committed to, don't you know?" Zhou Huai'an replied easily.

Lin Ran stared at him and laughed silently, moved his hands for a moment, and then moved his Wang and the car at the same time: "You forced me, Mr. Zhou, are you ready?" ”

She saw Zhou Huai'an solve all the walnuts and push the plate to her side, and a glint other than a smile flashed in her eyes.

"Let's wait and see."

He moved his king to the same position as Lin Ran's king, long castling versus short castling, Lin Ran sat up straight, stared at the pair of eyes on the opposite side that were difficult to ignore, and said, "It seems that this game will be unexpectedly exciting." ”

Zhou Huai'an stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, Lin Ran pursed his lips at him, and then quickly moved his chess pieces.

After a few steps, the speed at which they landed slowed down again.

Lin Ran propped her left hand on her cheek—she had completely forgotten about the alliance tonight—and raised her eyes to glance at the man opposite. Persistence, concentration, as if thinking about the next move is a major event related to the direction of life. The hand on the table rubbed his lips and chin repeatedly, the sleeves rolled up slightly, and Lin Ran saw a long, somewhat hideous wound on the inside of the bare forearm.

This piqued her curiosity.

And judging by the appearance of the wound, it should be a recent injury.

Who can hurt Zhou Huai'an?

Zhou Huai'an decided to jump his elephant diagonally two squares, which was a quiet one.

Lin Ran stripped his gaze off his opponent's skin and moved back to the chessboard. The two of them are evenly matched, if the points are counted, I'm afraid Zhou Huai'an is still a little ahead of her. She decided to give it a try, and if that didn't work, the first game would undoubtedly end in her failure.

She thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhou, you know that we haven't made a bet yet, right?" ”

The man raised his gaze, pointed to the empty plate next to him, and said, "Do you mean deciding who pays in the end?" ”

Lin Ran was amused: "Oh, that's a good idea, but I'm afraid that as the first game, that color is a little not enough to see." ”

Zhou Huai'an leaned back a little and looked at his opponent with interest: "Do you have a better idea?" ”

Lin Ran's smile hid something: "If I win, I want to hear the origin of that," she pointed to Zhou Huai'an's arm, "On the contrary, you can also ask me a question at will, of course, the bottom line you know." ”

Lin Ran moved the chess pieces as she spoke, and she could feel the man opposite him shake for a moment, but only for a moment.

Zhou Huai'an's low chuckling voice came into his ears, and Lin Ran heard him say, "I'm afraid it's a boring and lengthy story, and you may regret it." ”

"Actually, I kind of had time to listen to the story tonight."

Faced with the other party's intention to make no concessions, Zhou Huaian could only pull the corners of his mouth wider: "It seems that I have no way out, right?" His fingers moved across the board. 33 Listen to the book

Lin Ran reacted immediately, and when Zhou Huai'an saw the situation again, he found that he had been caught by the other party. He came to his senses with a bang, only to realize that the topic just now was a false move by the girl on the opposite side in order to divert his attention.

Zhou Huai soothed his forehead, and his shoulders trembled because of a sullen smile: "Lin Ran, Lin Ran, you are really ......"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou." Lin Ran's smile was like sunshine.

Among the few steps, although Zhou Huai'an tried his best to save it, it ended with Lin Ran's forced peace.

And in the next three games, they also won one game, lost one and drew one.

Zhou Huai'an couldn't remember how many heartfelt laughs he had tonight, and he began to slowly face the girl in front of him who was dressed in a low-key way but had a beautiful face. In each other's eyes, Zhou Huai'an grasped something that was strange and new to him, and it was these things that made him feel that the two had known each other for decades. Maybe the world likes to call it "tacit understanding", but Zhou Huaian believes that it is more dangerous than "tacit understanding" to the existence of his inner limit.

And for Lin Ran, she also felt such a thing.

This made her feel very uneasy.

For this, Lin Ran knew that she couldn't afford to gamble, and she couldn't afford to gamble at all.

Especially on the basis that the opponent is still Zhou Huai'an.

Thinking of this, she pushed away the chessboard and stood up, and said in a flat voice: "It's not early, I think I should go back." ”

Zhou Huai'an also knew that she couldn't be forced, otherwise this little girl would definitely run faster than anyone, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll let someone send you back." ”

On the way back, Wang Wenmao called her, no matter what she said, she wanted to meet, Lin Ran thought about it, and it was time to make the matter completely clear, so she responded.

The next day, Hu Ting was originally in trouble, but because she knew that she was going to see Wang Wenmao, she was afraid that something would happen to her, so she simply changed the matter to another day and went with her.

Lin Ran raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist, and found that the time was about the same as she estimated, and after pulling the corner of her mouth, she got into the back seat of Hu Ting's battery car.

Hu Ting, who had been observing her face, was a little worried: "Are you really going to see Wang Wenmao now?" ”

After returning to the dormitory last night, Lin Ran carefully told Hu Ting about Wang Wenmao, and told her not to inform anyone, she could handle everything by herself.

So now Hu Ting's disgust for Wang Wenmao has basically reached its peak.

"It's okay," Lin Ran leaned back a little and waved her hand a little tiredly, "It's just a face-to-face interview with him, I'm just in a bad mood for a while, it's nothing." ”

"Fortunately, there is nothing big about this period of time," Hu Ting, who started the car, said casually, "otherwise you don't know what you have to be busy." ”

"If he keeps going like this, and doesn't interfere with the river water from my well, it's actually pretty good, isn't it?" Almost immediately, Lin Ran, who had adjusted his expression, responded with a slight smile.

Lin Ran, who was almost forced to face up to what feelings she had in her heart, had been avoiding thinking of that person recently, if Wang Wenmao was just a favorite object for her, then the current Lin Ran would have a great chance of solving this man who might become her Achilles' heel with her own hands.

But now, only Mo Zhi is gradually becoming her new weakness, and when facing him, she always can't control her emotions.

He was the best opponent she had ever met, and the one who knew what she was thinking—just as she could know what Mo Zhi was thinking—she never denied that she enjoyed fighting with him very much, but whether she was dealing with things or getting along with them on weekdays, it was like a dance, you advance and I retreat, or ...... Rat.

Lin Ran pinched her eyebrows in distress, and asked herself to put aside the matter about Mo Zhi first, anyway, she would definitely not be able to come up with a solution in a short period of time, and it was better to focus on how to face Wang Wenmao first.

No matter what kind of feelings she has for Mo Zhi now, it can't affect the purest disgust for Wang Wenmao in Lin Ran's heart.

She won't trust Wang Wenmao anymore, absolutely not.

If it comes to the topic of sincerity, Lin Ran retracted her gaze, and slowly retracted her expression Thinking of this, she can pat her chest openly and say that all her Lin Ran's original sincerity was eagerly held in front of Wang Wenmao, but in the end, it is better to throw a stone into the sea, after all, she can still hear some sound in response to throwing stones;

But that's fine, long pain is better than short pain, and such a pain is enough for her to remember for a lifetime.

If it passed like this, maybe time might take away everything, but Wang Wenmao came back and once again disrupted her peaceful life.
