Professor Wu and I finally walked out of the building after visiting AEF's scientific results for most of the day. Sunlight shone through the faint clouds on the top of the AEF building, and a glimmer of light caught in my eyes through the refraction of the glass at the top of the building.

"It's really worth it today, I never thought that science would develop so fast." I looked at Professor Wu and sighed.

"Yes, when you are admitted to graduate school, there will be more opportunities to discover." Professor Wu picked up his backpack and finally extended his hand to me to say goodbye, and I politely shook his hands.

"Then I'll go first, and we'll get in touch if there's something."

"Good. There will be a period later. ”

After saying goodbye to Professor Wu, I walked home alone.

Before I knew it, I had walked to a park, where the air was crisp, the breeze was mixed with a touch of incense, and melodious songs were played.

"Lao Ge, you didn't do well this step, hehehe."

I looked back at the two old men sitting on the stone bench under the plane tree, and one of them proudly carried away a piece of white child trapped in the middle of it, and smiled very happily.

Out of curiosity, I moved closer and watched their game carefully. "It hurts." I suddenly felt a headache, and then I heard some faint sounds in my ears, yes, the sound of chess pieces slamming the chessboard.

I, looking up, who is playing chess? Two old men in the park? No...... No, the person in front of me was clearly a child. He was so immature that he took out a white piece from the chess box and put it on the chessboard, and then took out a black piece and put it next to the white piece just now. After that, he didn't play any more pieces, just quietly looked at the chessboard.

Who the hell is this? How does this silhouette resemble me? I wanted to get a closer look at him. I walked up to him, but just as I was about to see his face, my mind was pulled back.

"My head hurts so much......", when I opened my eyes again. What appeared in front of him were the two old men who were playing chess just now.

Why does this feel so similar to the previous game point, and what is going on? I already have too many questions in my mind. I looked at the board again and frowned deeply.

"It seems that the chess is a bad move, but in fact, the winner has already been decided." I couldn't help but blurt out.

"Don't talk nonsense, you kid, I'm going to win soon." The old man who was proud just now instantly withdrew his smile. After carefully figuring out the pieces on the chessboard, I suddenly realized that what I said was right. The virtual is real, and the real is attacked.

He lowered his hand, sighed, and put the pieces back in the box.

"I said Lao Ge, you are too uninteresting, you have played so many games of chess, you have never lost, let me not do it?"

"Lao Zhang, I have conceded, I have conceded." The other old man smiled as he took the pieces back into the box on the chessboard, then looked up at me and said with a smile: "Young man, attack the army and conquer the army without a fight, it seems that you are proficient in Go?" ”

I nodded awkwardly: "Old man, let you see the smile, I just understand a little, I just understand a little."

"Yes, yes, there are too few young people learning Go now." The old man opened the folding fan in his hand. The folding fan in the old man's hand is very exquisite, and the ink on the fan surface has a far-reaching artistic conception, and the ink pen is flowing smoothly. The wood carving on the handle of the fan is also unique.

"Lao Ge, young people nowadays don't like this game of Go. They like to play with a phone for a day, you don't understand. ”

"Yes, Lao Zhang, we are old, and we don't understand the things of young people."

Looking at the two old men in front of me, you and I said a word. I stepped forward.

"Two old men, if you can, how about I play a few games with you?"

To be honest, I didn't know much about Go before, but now I like it more and more, in fact, I should say that I feel familiar. In short, it's hard to describe.

"Young man, can you really play a few games of chess with our two old guys?" Lao Zhang looked very happy. "Young man to be honest with you, I haven't played with anyone else since Lao Ge taught me to play Go."

I sat down with a smile, Lao Zhang opened the lid of the box and grabbed a few sunspots, "Old man, don't worry, you sunspots, I've always used whites." "I'm used to white? I guess so.

"Kuroko takes the lead, then I'm welcome." Lao Zhang slowly began to play chess.

In other words, the opening chess is quite exquisite, and it seems that it must have been taught by another old man, but the next few moves made him gradually lose the opportunity. And Lao Ge didn't say a word, just fanned us and watched us play chess.

In the middle of the game, the winner is decided.

I looked at Lao Ge with a serious expression, and there was not the slightest smile on his face.

"What's the matter, old man, am I not doing well there? I hope to give me some advice. "I looked at the old man named Lao Ge.

The old man looked directly at me: "Young man, at what age did you start playing chess?" What taught you to play chess? ”

At what age I started playing chess, who taught me to play chess, in fact, I don't know, since I woke up on the island, I can't remember what happened before.

"Recently, there is no one to teach, and I have learned it myself, and I am not very good." I replied.

"Are you sure it wasn't taught by someone else? Do you recognize ......?" The old man seemed to be about to say someone's name, but swallowed it back. "Forget it, depending on your age, it shouldn't be possible."

I looked at the old man named Lao Ge with a bewildered expression...

April 20, 2021 at 17:35 p.m

The fuchsia sunlight shone on my face, and I realized that it was late, and I quickly looked at my watch, and it was 17:35.

"Two old men, it's not early, I'm going back first." I gestured to the watch in my hand.

"Isn't it, it's all over, young man, go back quickly." Lao Zhang sorted out the chess pieces on the chessboard into the chess box.

"Go, young man." Lao Ge also closed the folding fan in his hand.

The backpack on my back was on a stone bench, and the newspaper with the AEF workshop on the outside of the backpack slipped to the ground.

Lao Ge bent down to help me pick up the newspaper and stared at the news in the newspaper.

"Young man, are you coming from the direction of the AEF Building?" Lao Ge said and handed me my newspaper.

"Yes, old man, do you know this mansion too?" I took the newspaper and asked casually.

"Oh, young man, it seems that you are familiar with this AEF company, do you work there?"

"No, I just happened to meet a gringo at a research meeting...... By the way, you wouldn't have guessed who the gringo I met was, he was actually the president of AEF..."I didn't have time to finish.

I only heard Lao Ge whisper: "Jack Lodi." ”

The wind was strong at night, and it blew away the newspaper in my hand at once, and the newspaper spun in the air and flew into the distance.
