03 Low self-esteem is not self-sufficient
Huanhuan was a little apprehensive.
Because she knows that she is not outstanding among the first batch of young students in the chess club to participate in the third round of testing.
This kind of cognition not only comes from her estimation of her chess strength, but also from her growth environment, she has a poor family, and she has hidden an inferiority complex in her heart since she was a child.
She has low self-esteem, so inferior that she has a chess ability that surpasses her peers, but she still feels that she is inferior to others. It is precisely because of this inferiority complex that in addition to playing against her peers and chess nerds in class, she plays chess with herself for the rest of the time.
Yang Zheng saw the inferiority complex in her eyes at first sight.
Although the appearance of inferiority is hidden with apprehension, inferiority is inferiority, and it cannot be hidden no matter what kind of emotion is used.
Yang Zheng didn't teach her to play chess for the first time, but instead looked at Dongdong, who was desperately avoiding his gaze, and asked a question.
"Dongdong, who is your best friend in the chess club?"
Dongdong was a little at a loss, she looked up at Yang Zheng, the confusion diluted her inferiority, she thought for a long time, she ridiculously found that she didn't seem to have friends in the chess club.
Her eyes drifted to the desk on her chest again, she stared at the chessboard on the table in a panic, and she said a little stubbornly: "My best friend in the chess club is chess." ”
"Oh, and who is your best friend at school?" Yang Zheng asked another question that made Dongdong even more overwhelmed.
Dongdong's hands also kept pulling the corners of his clothes because of this problem.
She doesn't seem to have any friends at school, and her classmates in school will deliberately avoid her because she only wears a school uniform.
But fortunately, there is Xiangqi with her, Xiangqi is like her most loyal friend, and she will not dislike her for wearing only a school uniform every day, nor will she dislike her for being a rustic little girl.
It wasn't when she picked up the chess pieces that she felt that the world finally gave her more tenderness at this moment.
Perhaps it is because chess has given her so much beauty that she is more persistent than anyone else to become a professional chess player. As her father said, when the world closes a door for you, it opens a window for you.
She really wants to become a professional chess player to prove that she is not alone in this life. Or maybe loneliness is just a disguise for her to hide her inferiority.
Yang Zheng has experienced Dongdong's inferiority complex, and since his mother's death, it took him a long time to come out of his inferiority.
Low self-esteem is actually a kind of wealth, it will make people sensitive, it will make people cling to certain things, and it will make a child grow up quickly.
But in the world of chess, low self-esteem is the fatal weakness of chess players.
In this cruel world of chess, every chess player must have a motivated heart and a heart that does not admit defeat.
Inferiority complex will only make people lose their motivation and make people slump in failure.
Therefore, Yang Zheng's first counseling class must make Dongdong no longer feel inferior.
He looked at the time, and it was only two o'clock in the afternoon.
He smiled most kindly at Dongdong.
"Would you like to come with me and meet my friends?"
Dongdong looked at Yang Zheng's smile that she was trying to squeeze out and was stunned, and then, she shook her head, nodded again, and whispered "um".
……
Since beating Uncle Li to chase his dream, the chess kings in the park have changed from one to four.
These four chess kings are Lao Zhang, the king of Eastern chess, who always takes chess, Lao Chen, the king of Western chess, who goes to pick up his grandson when he loses chess, Aji, the king of southern chess, who is not good at speaking, and the thin monkey of the king of northern chess, who sees bad legs and feet in chess.
These four chess kings, although except for Aji, the three of them are all well-known stinky chess baskets. But sometimes character outside the chessboard is even more important than winning or losing on the chessboard.
With these four chess kings, the park, which was not too lively, gradually became popular.
Adults, children, men, and women all seem to see the charm of chess in this small park, especially under the influence of chess every day, this small park seems to have become a small chess mecca.
On weekends, the park is always crowded with chess players from all over the world and from afar, who will enjoy their hard-won rest time here.
When Yang Zheng and Dongdong came to this park, it was the busiest time in this park.
"Southern Chess King" Aji has won ten consecutive victories.
The "Northern Chess King" thin monkey on the side couldn't sit still, he looked at the chess friends with sad faces around him, and he sighed.
As a skinny monkey who can only pass the two-in-command addiction after Aji, he has been sitting for a whole hour, and how much he hopes that a "peerless chess master" can appear at this time to end Aji's winning streak.
But his thinking is obviously unrealistic. Because, how could a real, professional chess master fall in love with the bad old man of this park?
When the thin monkey was at a loss, he seemed to hear the "East Chess King" Lao Zhang shouting Yang Zheng's name, and his wrinkled face slowly bloomed with the appearance of Yang Zheng's figure.
"Yo, isn't this our park god of war? Grab a hand? The thin monkey hurriedly stepped forward and half-jokingly at Yang Zheng.
The chess friends who were familiar with Yang Zheng around them, seeing Yang Zheng's arrival, they also frowned.
The god of war in the park is Yang Zheng's new nickname in the park.
Since beating Yang Zheng and winning Uncle Li, the recognized chess king in the park, he seems to have never lost a chess game against anyone in the park. In addition, his chess and character are not bad, and he also helped Lao Zhang Xia win the sudden female Internet celebrity, so he also has this new nickname.
Behind him, Dongdong looked at a group of chess friends from his uncles and grandfathers surrounding the unattractive teacher in front of him, and she also had some doubts in her eyes.
Because, in her heart, this unattractive teacher seems to be as silent as her. Although she has also heard her teacher chess nerd praise Yang Zheng's chess ability, but what kind of superb chess power does Teacher Yang Zheng, who can be called the god of war by a group of big men, have.
Before Dongdong could come to his senses, the sharp-eyed Lao Zhang on the side saw Dongdong at a glance, he walked up enthusiastically and looked at Dongdong with a shy face, he grinned and carefully compared the two.
"Your daughters are so old? It's hidden, Xiao Yang. Lao Zhang stretched out his hand and touched Dongdong's head, and said with a look of relief.
"This is not my daughter, this is a student of my chess club." Yang Zheng looked at the gossiping chess friends, and he said again: "I brought her here just to play chess with you." ”
