11 Life is like water
One must have expectations, especially for life.
Yang Zheng has a lot of expectations, not only for life, but also for his future.
Yang Zheng is no longer young, and he is not successful at the beginning of his life, but he is also good among his peers, and good here means that he can have dreams and work hard for them.
The word dream seems very cheap in the adult world, but in the hearts of many children, it is the most precious thing in the world.
Yue Jianping has become a professional chess player, although his ranking is at the bottom, and his professional rank is not too high compared to the geniuses of the same period, but he is more content than others.
The contentment here is not only to life, but also to be content with the current situation.
He returned to the school, and like Dongdong, he looked at the big red banner at the school gate celebrating his achievements in chess, and his heart felt more proud of being a chess practitioner.
Soon, he is about to face the college entrance examination, and the countdown number is like a pair of scissors, cutting his few youths.
He was not born in the chess academy like Li Tiandao, nor was he like Qian Xi Sun Pojun, who gave up his studies in order to learn chess, his life was very ordinary, except for learning chess, playing chess, and participating in competitions. Like all his peers, he has to go through the high school entrance examination.
He could have chosen this full-time ordinary high school when he was in high school, but chose a sports college to go directly to the path of special recruitment. But his family and mentor still think that learning cultural lessons is more important than chess.
It is precisely because of this concept that Yue Jianping will choose a different path from other professional chess players, and play chess while going to school in a down-to-earth manner.
But Yue Jianping seems to put all his talent and hard work on chess, his culture class is at the bottom of the class all year round, just looking at his current academic performance, it is difficult for him to even get into an ordinary university.
It was his last year of high school, and it was the year he had to make the most decisions.
"Are you really going to give up all the competitions in the year just to get into college?"
As a new professional player, Yue Jianping, this year may be his most outstanding year, although he has won many honors before, and has also emerged on the international stage, but the best development prospects for professional chess players are the past few years.
In the past few days, the question that echoed in Yue Jianping's ears the most was the question just now, even his old enemies Bingbing and Li Tiandao didn't understand his choice.
Because in the eyes of them, no, the vast majority of people, the so-called study is to be able to earn a lot of money in the future to change their destiny.
But obviously now there is a better choice to make a lot of money, but Yue Jianping still insists on choosing to continue studying and take the college entrance examination, in their eyes, Yue Jianping is too stupid.
And Yue Jianping faced these doubts and the so-called persuasion, he didn't speak, just picked up the book in front of him and studied hard like an ordinary high school student.
Because in his heart, learning is not just about making a lot of money, but also about changing his fate.
He should have something more pure like chess.
It's just that now he can't understand what these things are, just like that day's game, as a pure chess player, in a desperate situation, he chose to stick to his heart.
Perhaps, he is really stupid!
But he knew better than anyone what he wanted.
Not only did he want the thumping sound on the chessboard, he also wanted the sound of reading aloud beside him.
For his future, he has never lacked expectations.
Dongdong is also the same as Yue Jianping, after becoming a professional chess player, she did not choose to give up her studies.
Although after becoming a professional chess player, she has more envious eyes around her and those friends who take the initiative to talk.
But she still sticks to her heart, studies hard and plays chess hard.
After she became a professional chess player, the Huajia Chess Club rewarded her with 50,000 yuan one after another, and she did not hesitate to give all the bonuses to her father, and she still followed Yang Zheng to learn chess.
Although now she has a better choice, such as worshipping under the chess master Peng Fei and becoming the chief disciple of this promising young chess player.
But in her heart, she still chose to continue to let Yang Zheng be her master, this unexpected choice not only changed Yang Zheng's life, but also when she was about to give up her studies, Yang Zheng seriously persuaded her to continue studying.
Yang Zheng didn't tell her much about why she continued to study, he just told her that even if he was an old handsome man trapped in the Nine Palaces, as long as he used it well, he could check his opponent by surprise.
It was this sentence that sounded inexplicable, but it made Dongdong think about a lot of things.
Although Dongdong is not very talented, she has a good understanding.
She understands the meaning of Yang Zheng's words, and also understands that for her, reading is undoubtedly a way to turn a "pawn" into a "handsome".
Dongdong is not smart, but she is also very down-to-earth.
She comes to the chess club every day to play chess, and now she has bought a smart phone, but unlike her peers, in addition to learning and a few self-contained software, there are only two chess software left in her smart phone.
One of the software is also the semi-professional software that Yang Zheng is using now, and Dongdong will also play chess with Yang Zheng every day, of course, she never won.
This somewhat bleak ending also made Dongdong doubt his chess strength for the first time, but when playing against others, Dongdong found that her chess strength was improving rapidly, especially in terms of computing power, she had dared to boldly predict the opponent's last three moves.
That's the benefit of playing against a master, being able to clearly see your shortcomings.
Not only did Dongdong buy progress, Liu Ziyue also found that her chess skills were improving rapidly, which also made her curious about Yang Zheng's opponent, but she checked the list of all professional chess players in the past and did not find Yang Zheng's name, which made the girl suspect that the name Yang Zheng was a pseudonym, and even this fantasy girl guessed that the owner of Yang Zheng's account was a white-haired chess master who used the name of his junior to play chess.
However, Yang Zheng has achieved so many people, but his own chess strength has not moved at all and has faintly regressed, which gives him a little headache.
Choose to achieve others, or choose to achieve yourself.
This has always seemed like a difficult problem to have both.
Now this question is so clearly placed in front of Yang Zheng, the battle applications that crowd the screen, and the imminent game, make Yang Zheng silent for a long time.
However, in the end, Yang Zheng's choice was to accept the invitation.
Only this time, Yang Zheng did not choose the routine of the past, but relied on his memory to play chess in a different way.
Liu Ziyue looked at the chess path opposite, and she was stunned.
Because the chess move on the opposite side is exactly the chess move she just had.
She suddenly felt a sense of gratitude and indescribable excitement in her heart.
She thought the other side was playing chess for herself.
However, as time went by, Liu Ziyue's face appeared with disbelief.
Because the same chess move, in the hands of different people, can show unprecedented changes.
Perhaps, the achievement of others is also the achievement of oneself!
