The afternoon sun was exceptionally good, hitting us warm and comfortable. I looked at Yan Xiaoxue walking beside me, her two pigtails were jumping and moving, and the corners of her mouth were still faintly visible traces of saliva that had been dried by the wind.
"Ah~~~~~h
Yan Xiaoxue stretched her waist, looked back at the University of Science and Technology that was getting farther and farther away from us with a sleepy-eyed face, and asked me:
"Cheng Yin, what's wrong with you in front of you, so excited, saying a lot of things that I don't understand at all."
"What if that's not what I said?" I glanced at Yan Xiaoxue.
"Did I not wake up or did you not wake up. You're talking in your sleep, aren't you? Yan Xiaoxue shook her hand in front of me.
"I don't know. But I felt as if the words I had spoken were in my head. "I don't know how to explain this strange feeling to her.
"Alright, alright. Maybe you've been tired lately. Yan Xiaoxue didn't care about what I said at all.
The breeze blew slightly, and she stripped a strand of her hair and looked at the sky on the left, the corners of her mouth raised.
I saw that she suddenly pointed to the road on the left and said to me, "It's still early, why don't we go to the shopping street first?" I know there's a very famous shopping street near here, and I think you might be interested in it. ”
Shopping...... Holy, are you sure that's not a reason for you to drag me my own to buy something?
I looked there in the direction of Yan Xiaoxue's finger - through the green leaves, behind the cracks of several buildings, I vaguely saw a tall and majestic modern commercial building.
"Go? Go~~~" She tugged at my hand and swayed from side to side.
All right...... Anyway, I'm idle today. I shook my head helplessly.
The breeze blew in our hair and we walked leisurely on the way to the shopping street. After passing through several streets, then through several streets, and finally at the entrance of a shopping street.
I didn't expect there to be such a bustling commercial street not far from the school.
Before I could see my surroundings clearly, I was pulled over by Yan Xiaoxue.
"Quick, this shop." I looked up in her direction and saw that it was a bakery. "Don't look at it, let's go inside, or my pineapple bread will be gone!"
The specifications of this bakery are not small. On the shelves around are small baskets made of bamboo, round, square, star-shaped, etc., with different shapes. It is filled with a variety of delicious breads. At first glance, there are quite a few people in the store.
"Pineapple bread, pineapple bread, pineapple bread." Yan Xiaoxue kept holding bread from the bamboo basket.
"I said you took too much, can you eat alone?"
"Of course, don't you remember? My favorite is the pineapple bread. I can eat this in one day. Pineapple bread, lovely pineapple bread. ”
I knew I wasn't really Cheng Yin, but I couldn't tell her. Well, she just had to be happy. I also ran over and put the pineapple bread on my plate. Follow her example and say, "Pineapple bread, pineapple bread, lovely pineapple bread."
"Cheng Yin, have you finally started to like pineapple bread too?"
"Well, the pineapple bread is delicious."
"Really? Great, you didn't like bread very much. ”
Seeing her happy, my heart was also happy. Although I'm not really Cheng Yin. But there's only so much I can do for her now.
Sunlight shone in from the outside of the bakery. It hit the bamboo basket of pineapple bread.
But there was no pineapple bread in the basket.
"Hello, it's 201 yuan in total." The clerk packed all the pineapple noodles into two large paper bags.
Damn, we actually bought more than 200 yuan of bread. But seeing Yan Xiaoxue's happy appearance, I always feel warm.
We finally left the bakery. Yan Xiaoxue and I were each holding a bag of bread. I turned my head to see her finish a pineapple bun in a few bites. It seems that eating after a day is just a modest statement.
In fact, it can also be said that this is a world of food. The variety of desserts and snacks is dazzling.
"Wow, I'm going to eat this, this, and this." In less than twenty minutes, Yan Xiaoxue already had at least five kinds of snacks in her hands. And that's not counting what she's already eaten.
I looked at her with two bags of bread. Full of admiration.
Let me forget about the future for a while and simply enjoy this peaceful life.
We continued to move forward for less than a dozen meters.
A chic chess shop appeared in front of us. It is really rare to have such a unique chess store on such a bustling commercial street.
I walked in briskly. The store looks small and small, with two floors.
The following is generally for the sale of some kinds of chess equipment. Chessboards, chess pieces, chess games. Almost everything you can think of related to chess is available here.
I looked up at the second floor. There are a lot of tables and chairs on it. It seems that the second floor is a game for people.
"What is this? Tell me quickly. Yan Xiaoxue was holding two baskets of black and white chess pieces in her hand.
"This should be Go." I always felt that this little chess piece was so familiar.
"Will you go down? You can teach me. ”
"Not really. I haven't learned how to fence either. "I'm not lying, I really don't, but I always think I will. By the way, could it be... I asked tentatively, "Did I tell you before that I would go down the fence?" ”
"I haven't said that, but I've never seen you play Go." Yan Xiaoxue looked at me with big eyes.
I suddenly realized that the question was so ridiculous, and hurriedly turned around and walked to the second floor. Yan Xiaoxue was on the first floor flipping through the books on Go teaching.
The area of the second floor is about the same size as the first floor. But there are a lot more people than on the first floor.
A lot of people are watching two people play chess. One was an old man in his prime, with a full head of white hair. The other was a young girl. Long blond hair reaches the waist, the bridge of the nose is straight,
Wears a light blue trench coat.
"Mr. Wang, it seems that the number of meshes is not enough." Another old man next to him stared at the chessboard.
The people around him also nodded.
When I took a closer look, the black and white characters seemed to be evenly matched, but there seemed to be a little more sunspots.
I'm just a layman, and Go should be counted rather than the number of pieces.
I was about to leave, but suddenly my head ached. Instead of leaving the table, I stepped into the table.
"Although white loses a little, there is still a way to win." What I'm talking about, I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. Just like at a presentation.
"Young man, watch it silent!" The people around me blamed me.
"It's okay, this young man, the old man has exhausted his brains, and he can't think of a way to win.
The old man has lost this game, I don't know what tricks this young man has, can you give me some advice? ”
The old man playing chess looked at me, and I was at a loss.
The old man stood up: "Can the young man finish this chess game on behalf of the old man?"
I sat down and looked at the blonde woman opposite.
"Hello, my name is ......"
"Play chess." I wanted to say hello first. But before I could finish speaking, the woman interrupted my greeting without even looking at me.
Well, let's go down. I took the white pieces out of the chess box and placed them in the lower right corner of the board.
Suddenly, I noticed that the blonde woman was staring at me.
The atmosphere around suddenly became tense.
"What did you just say your name was?"
"I ...... Called Cheng Yin, you ...... Good ......"
"Sincerity, what a strange name. But I'm telling you very seriously, you will never win this game!! ”
