Chapter 13: The Despair of One Step Away
There was a voice behind him, some low, some hoarse, as if squeezed out of his throat, Gu Bai turned his head and looked at Lu Qin.
"Anything else?"
It's not that Lu Qin hasn't lost, and it's not that he can't afford to lose, but this time today, one step away, he was really unwilling, his eyes were red, and he finally said the extremely humiliating words: "I lost, the little brother is really powerful." Look, can you fight, again? ”
Everyone can understand Lu Qin's feelings, and they have a little more hope in their eyes when they look at Gu Bai, but Gu Bai directly refuses.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going back to my homework."
Admit defeat, and say "little brother is amazing", the previous thing can be written off? Can you start another round? Gu Bai is not the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue.
The face hurts, the pain is hot, Lu Qin said before that it would be over in five minutes and let Gu Bai go back to do his homework, but now that Gu Bai has returned it, he still returns it as a winner, which is tantamount to a slap in the face.
It's just that the difference of this step is really like a thorn stuck in Lu Qin's throat, he can expect that in the next few days, he will definitely not think about it, even if the time is farther, it is estimated that he will not be able to let go, and in the future, if Gu Bai will never play against him again, the difference in this step is probably an obsession for a lifetime.
His face flushed like a drop of blood, but seeing that Gu Bai had already walked a few meters, the words stuck in his throat were finally spoken.
"Please, you, play me again."
For some people, especially the proud, saying the word "begging" is more uncomfortable than being cut off a piece of meat.
The second game began.
Lu Qin took a deep breath, didn't hold it up, and started the game directly.
In this game, the rhythm is much slower than the previous game, and with the lessons of the past, every step of Lu Qin is basically after a hundred thoughts.
The onlookers around, after being slapped in the face by Gu Bai's counterattack in the last game, no one said anything more in this game, and no one counted anymore, it could be seen that this would be a long game, so they all sat down and watched quietly.
Five minutes, evenly matched.
Ten minutes, evenly matched.
Fifteen minutes, on the surface, it seemed evenly matched, but Lu Qin's brows were furrowed.
He's missing another move.
originally thought that the last game was lost because of poor consideration and underestimating the enemy, but in this game, he was really cautious, but he was still ......
Then, it's a rebellion.
Lu Qin tried to change his son, hoping to fight a bloody way out of the chaos.
I also tried to repair the plank road in the dark, hoping to secretly carve out a way out.
even tried to retreat as advance, hoping to find a bright future, but failed.
The chessboard freezes, and the poor step continues to the end.
Lu Qin lost again, looking at the chessboard, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, this chess was one step away, like a ghost, not dispersed.
Looking at Lu Qin's lost soul, there were chess watchers next to him who were a little unbearable.
"The last one is one step behind, this one is one step behind, Lu Qin is unlucky."
"Who says it's not, and losing one step is the most embarrassing, last time I lost one step, and I have the heart to beat people."
"Almost, just a little, I think Lu Qin as long as he is familiar with Gu Bai's chess moves, he should be able to make another move."
However, the people who often watch Gu Bai play chess here, there is something more in their expressions, and a few old chess players who often play against Gu Bai look at Lu Qin and have a kind of sympathy that they have personally experienced.
Why is Gu Bai shouting and beating here, just like an enemy of the people? It's because when playing chess with Gu Bai, it's often a difference of one step or two steps, and he loses, that's right, only defeat, that's called a diaphragm person, until the last time the old man took out the endgame, everyone knew that the little cub was usually releasing water!
The past is unbearable!
Lu Qin closed his eyes, thought about it for a long time, and finally opened his eyes, looking at Gu Bai, who was sitting opposite, still without much expression, and had a guess in his heart that he couldn't believe it.
The kid in front of him, who is still in high school, won't really be far better than him in chess.
"Please, you, play me again."
The word "ask" is still difficult to say, but after saying it once and saying it a second time, it doesn't seem so embarrassing.
The third game began.
Without the thrilling of the first game, and without the step-by-step of the second game, it seems to be a little more modest.
Ten minutes later, the last son fell, and the people around looked at Gu Bai like a monster!
In the third game, Gu Bai won, still only one step away.
How can you still not understand how to win three moves in a row.
This little monster was still in control of the game when he was playing against Lu Qin, the first chess player in Yongcheng!
If you go out casually, you can slap your face by the way, and you are also a little refreshed, but when Gu Bai played chess with these old men before, he didn't mean to be angry, but he was afraid that he would win too much at once and become popular.
On the way home, a white figure appeared in view.
Alone, passers-by next to her, looking back frequently, the girl has a kind of concentration and does not move.
Thinking about it now, it is really every time Gu Bai walks by here, he can see Jiangyu practicing martial arts, and he has not been absent for a day, but he has never paid attention to it.
Now it seems that the girl who practiced the exercises, when she was practicing, was really focused, and she was so diligent, it was no wonder that she could be so dazzling in Yongcheng No. 1 Middle School.
I didn't pay attention to it before, just a stranger, after the first encounter, it felt like it was just an accident, but now it's only a few days, there have been two encounters, once I ate someone's sweet potato, and once I was saved by a beautiful woman.
Thinking that the girl shouted every time they met to teach Gu Bai to practice martial arts, it was a little funny, but it was also quite interesting, why not follow the practice, Gu Bai stepped forward, stood behind the girl, followed the girl's figure, and practiced.
Eighteen years have not soothed the muscles and bones, the practitioner's martial arts moves, there is a kind of familiar and unfamiliar, but this feeling, it is really good, more than ten seconds later, the girl also found the person behind her, her eyes flashed, but her body movements did not change, and she continued her daily cultivation.
Half an hour later, the girl stopped, Gu Bai also stopped, and the two walked to the bench next to them and sat side by side.
Relieved a little, the girl turned her head and looked at Gu Bai with a cunning expression.
"Okay, Gu Bai, you actually dare to steal school, I caught you, clear the tuition fee."
I have to say that Jiang Yu really has a natural aura of relaxation, and when it comes to getting along, there is a very comfortable feeling, Gu Bai grinned and replied with a witty word.
"Okay, Jiangyu, I didn't expect you to be such a Jiangyu, confess and be lenient, you persuaded me to learn martial arts, is it just for tuition, scheming girl!!"
It's just that I didn't expect that a joke, but the girl was a little serious and opened her mouth to explain.
"Jiangbian, I'm wronged, I saw that the gang in the school have been targeting you before, so I think learning martial arts will help you a lot."
"Besides, I'm a big fish, am I the kind of person who pits my brothers? If you want to learn martial arts from me, I'll pay free tuition, it's interesting enough. ”
"Moreover, I found out that you are really talented in martial arts, so you walked with me again, and this action is really good."
"It's just a showcase, though."
Tie Hanhan is really Tie Hanhan, if he is joking, but he takes it seriously, if he obviously praises people, he has to add a "flower shelf", Gu Bai was speechless and didn't know how to answer, looking at the girl's serious face, he was finally amused.
Jiang Yu was a little puzzled by Gu Bai's smile, but he didn't think too much about it, took out a sweet potato from his small bag, broke it in half, and then handed the larger half to Gu Bai.
The men and women by the Yonghe River ate cold roasted sweet potatoes, but they felt an inexplicable satisfaction.
"Gu Bai, have you eaten enough?"
"I'm full."
"When you're full, you have to exercise and digest it, let's go, I'll take you to play."
"Play ......"
Gu Bai's words were not finished yet, he kept holding Gu Bai's hand with his small hand, and with a pull, Gu Bai was almost dragged to eat, and then the two of them ran up like wild horses.
There is one more pair of boys and girls running wild in Riverside Park.
