There were several people in the living room of the Chu family, and there was almost no sound except for the occasional sound of collision and breathing.

It is difficult to tell whether a game is won or lost, and several people have been concentrating on nesting together for a long time, but they don't feel tired at all.

Chu Qiyue has not yet met a strong opponent by relying on the chess skills taught by Old Man Chu, she thought that her skills were not bad, and she could occasionally draw with Old Man Chu.

But after she watched Xue Ziqing's way of playing chess, that bit of self-confidence had long disappeared without a trace.

There is a sky outside the sky, which is probably what describes her current situation.

When filling tea and pouring water, it became her business unconsciously, her mind was on the chess game in front of her, and the action of pouring tea and water was subconscious.

Xue Ziqing already had a fine layer of sweat on her forehead, her eyes were staring at the chess pieces, and her brain was much faster than her hands. Old Man Chu had just finished putting one down, and within a few seconds, she would definitely be able to put down the next one.

The expression on Old Man Chu's face was slowly changing, and he was holding the chess pieces for longer and longer, although no one was urging him, he was still a little flustered.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Xue Ziqing, and when he saw that she was serious, he didn't speak, and continued to look at the chess game and think about what to do next.

Xue Ziqing pinched the chess pieces, and his heart was extremely entangled.

Seeing that the game of chess was almost over, she and Old Man Chu still maintained a tie, and it was not embarrassing to be in a position that could not be improved.

She played chess with Old Man Chu just to accompany the old man, let him be angry and happy, and by the way, consolidate her status as a granddaughter-in-law in the eyes of the old man. But the situation that has always been a draw is something she didn't expect, if she is discovered by Old Man Chu when she gives in, not only will she not make him happy, but it is likely that in exchange for his anger, it will not be good if things are messed up.

Old Man Chu's chess skills are on par with her, and it is a simple matter to make a move without a trace. She has been thinking about this problem since she played the first chess piece, and she watched the chess pieces on the chessboard get fuller and fuller, and she became more and more anxious, for fear that the first game would be a tie, and the old man would not be happy.

Old Man Chu lowered his head, as if he felt her panic, and the old man's voice was as steady as Mount Tai, "Take your time, there will always be a time to finish." ”

Xue Ziqing pinched the chess pieces and replied, "I know, grandpa." ”

Her gaze wandered around the chessboard, and suddenly drifted to the teacup beside her.

"Grandpa, I want to go to the bathroom, can I wait for me to come back?"

Xue Ziqing pretended to have a stomachache, and his crooked willow eyebrows were wrinkled together.

Old Man Chu hurriedly said, "Go quickly, I'll wait for you." ”

"Okay." Xue Ziqing bent over, clutched his stomach and rushed quickly to the bathroom.

Old Man Chu's mind was still on the chess game, his hand was on his knees, he studied the chess game, and said, "It would be nice if one of you two could be like Miss Xue, and someone could accompany me to play chess." ”

Chu Xuanyue, who was disgusted with the new and the old, was dissatisfied, "Grandpa, you won't let my brother go down!" ”

Old Man Chu didn't raise his head and said, "Come on, I taught you all chess skills, I know in my heart a few catties and a few taels, what's the point of playing with yourself1"

Hearing this, Chu Qiyue's face looked a little better. She looked at the intricate chess pieces on the chessboard and said, "Grandpa, Miss Xue's skills seem to be on par with yours, right?" ”

Old Man Chu reluctantly accepted the reality, "I know, it's rare to meet a little girl who is still so good at playing chess, Tianqi, you have finally done a good thing." ”

The ability was denied for no reason, and Chu Tianqi had no other way but despair. He said with a bitter face, "That's what Grandpa said. ”

The phone that was put aside suddenly vibrate, Chu Tianqi leaned his head over, the sender's signature was Xue Ziqing, and there was a sentence written on it: Hurry up and think of a way, let me lose!

"What are you looking at?"

Old Man Chu suddenly spoke, and Chu Tianqi hurriedly detained the phone, "It's nothing, it's just a garbage message." ”

Chu Tianqi held the phone and didn't dare to make any more moves, he silently prayed in his heart that Xue Ziqing would ask for more blessings!

Xue Ziqing waited for several minutes and couldn't wait for a reply, she didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been Chu Tianqi who was forced to turn his back on her.

Alas, sure enough, at a critical time, you still have to rely on self-help!

She put the phone up, and she looked dead except for the bathroom.

Chu Tianqi didn't dare to look at Xue Ziqing's face, he lowered his head and pretended to study the chess game with Old Man Chu, but he still couldn't ignore the two murderous lines of sight behind him.

Xue Ziqing saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to sit back again. She glanced at the chessboard, and Old Man Chu had already made a bet, just waiting for her next step.

There are very few paths left on the board, and there are really only a few steps left until the end.

Xue Ziqing is no longer in the panic she had before at this moment, she has calmed down at the moment and is ready to resign herself to fate.

She analyzed for a long time, and finally put the chess pieces in her hand.

The already scarce chessboard has one less place, and the black and white chess pieces are tightly surrounded by each other, and no one has let anyone.

Old Man Chu looked at the chessboard with the chess pieces, hesitating and not sure where to put them.

Chu Xuanyue had a smile on her face, and when she saw Xue Ziqing staring at the chessboard at a loss, she probably thought of why she had this expression.

Xue Ziqing was in great difficulty, and someone suddenly touched him on his leg. She looked up, Chu Xuanyue secretly pointed to a position with her eyes at an angle that Old Man Chu couldn't see, she followed her eyes, and her dim eyes suddenly lit up.

From Chu Xuanyue's point of view, that position is just enough to push herself into a desperate situation, and it is clear that she will lose. And even if Old Man Chu saw it, he would only think that she had been down for a long time, and she didn't react for a while.

This step is really wonderful!

After Old Man Chu finally put down the chess pieces, Xue Ziqing pretended to hesitate and hurriedly put the chess pieces over. As soon as the decision is settled, the winner is also decided.

"Grandpa, you won!" Chu Qiyue was deliberately startled.

"Grandpa, I'm willing to bow down!"

Xue Ziqing was exhausted, she knew that it was so difficult, she would not easily say that she wanted to play.

"It's just a competition." Old Man Chu glanced at Xue Ziqing, and the wisdom in her eyes and the understanding of her looked away.

Old Man Chu picked up his chess pieces one by one and threw them into the jar, and said as he picked them up, "Life is like chess, and if you leave your hand, you will have no chance to regret it." The long road of life may be the same as playing chess, and after being cornered, it may be a bright future, so don't be too entangled in life. , Ziqing, what do you think? ”
