Chapter 82: The Art of Chess
The light rain outside the classroom gradually intensified.
Fortunately, the students made sufficient preparations today, and at noon, umbrellas bloomed on the campus, and various umbrellas were like flowers, competing for beauty.
Jiang Ning held up the umbrella, released his spiritual power, and drove away the rain that fell on the edge, Xue Yuantong hid under the umbrella and walked cautiously.
As the flow of people left the school gate, I came to the restaurant last time.
The proprietress was a little impressed by Jiang Ning and greeted her warmly.
Jiang Ning didn't ask Xue Yuantong's opinion, and ordered a few dishes as usual.
"Jiang Ning, the exam is coming soon, do you have any questions for me?" Xue Yuantong decided to care about him.
"Nope." Jiang Ning said.
The knowledge in the first semester of high school is not difficult, and with his level, there is no problem in taking the top ten in the grade.
"Okay." Xue Yuantong didn't speak again, she just thought that after the exam was over, she would change her position and officially help Jiang Ning.
While Jiang Ning was waiting for dinner, Ma Shicheng entered the door alone.
After seeing Jiang Ning, his eyes lit up and he walked towards this side.
"Jiang Ning, I found that as soon as it rains, you come out to eat!" Ma Shicheng said.
"Yes, together?" Jiang Ning invited.
Ma Shicheng shook his head: "I'll eat alone." ”
In fact, he was a little moved, but thinking that Jiang Ning was more luxurious to eat, he must have ordered a lot of dishes, and when he divided it evenly, the money he had to share was likely to be higher than the usual two meals.
Maybe with Jiang Ning's character, he will treat him directly, but Ma Shicheng doesn't like to take advantage of others, and Jiang Ning has already treated him once last time.
Jiang Ning looked behind Ma Shicheng, and they didn't follow Guo Kunnan last time.
"Didn't you eat with them before?"
After Ma Shicheng heard this, he smiled: "I feel like it's better to eat alone and have fun." ”
In fact, everyone ate together, which was organized by Ma Shicheng at the beginning, and I was very happy in the first few days, eating a variety of dishes, and chatting together.
But in the back, there are gradually problems, some people are taboo, picky eaters, don't eat greens, don't eat carrots, don't eat onions, all kinds of people have it, and many dishes can't be ordered every time.
Even if this is forgotten, it is still better than eating alone, and the most unbearable thing for Ma Shicheng is that the six of them eat, sometimes for 62 yuan for a meal, and it is not easy to divide it evenly at this time.
Ma Shicheng is the one who checks out, and many times after the bill, everyone only gives 10 yuan with a smile, so that every time he eats, he will have one or two more yuan.
Not much money, but engage in mentality.
And the price of the dishes ordered is different every time, and some students are unconscious and always pick up expensive dishes to eat.
After eating it a few times, Ma Shicheng was not happy, so he simply came out to eat it himself.
Jiang Ning saw that Ma Shicheng didn't agree, and he didn't invite again, so he was moved.
At the door of the store, Dong Qingfeng, Wang Yong, and Chen Qian walked in first, followed by Bai Yuxia and a pair of twins.
When Ma Shicheng saw it, he also said hello.
It was Chen Siyu and Chen Siqing who stared at Jiang Ning, especially Chen Siqing, who still remembered that Jiang Ning refused her to play table tennis that day.
The area of the restaurant is not large, so they chose the table in front of Ma Shicheng and ordered a few dishes.
Ma Shicheng watched silently and found that the food they ordered was also not cheap.
Dong Qingfeng and a few people talked and laughed, and from time to time, some words such as test papers, grades, difficult problems, and grade rankings jumped out.
Ma Shicheng was not interested, he took out his mobile phone to play games.
Jiang Ning said to Xue Yuantong: "Playing chess? ”
Jiang Ning has a chess software on his mobile phone, which can play online.
Xue Yuantong was very excited, and she said reservedly:
"Okay, I'll play two games with you."
In fact, she was almost excited in her heart, since the last time the table tennis ball broke and sank into the sand, Jiang Ning finally hit her strong point again, she is going to kill a piece of armor today!
Xue Yuantong still remembers that when she was a child, she had no peers around her, and she was very bored at home, so she could only hold a copy of 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' and read it repeatedly.
At that time, there were a few old ladies at the door who knitted wool and played shoe uppers, and an old man who played chess, and there were a lot of people around to watch.
Xue Yuantong also came up to look at it, he couldn't understand it at first, but it was very funny to see the old man blowing his beard and staring.
When she got home, she found hardshell paper, drew a chessboard by herself, carved chess pieces, and studied them every day.
Later, her mother came back and taught her the rules of chess, so Xue Yuantong played against himself every day.
After practicing for a while, playing chess with his mother, his mother was not an opponent at all, and Xue Yuantong often made thirteen moves to kill.
So Xue Yuantong walked out of the house and went to play chess with the group of old men.
At first, the uncle was very happy, but he didn't expect such a young chess friend to join, and there are successors in the chess track, which is really gratifying!
The old men who are good teachers compete to play chess with Xue Yuantong, and the old lady is smiling and playing sweaters next to her, and she will give Xue Yuantong food.
At first, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
It wasn't until seven days later that Xue Yuantong shaved the old man into a bald general.
It's still done under the condition that several uncles work together to guide and support an old man.
The uncles angrily flipped the chessboard.
Since then, Xue Yuantong has never seen the old men set up a chessboard.
Later, my mother said that only when Xue Yuantong went to school, the uncles would set up the chessboard and learn chess skills, and when Xue Yuantong was about to get out of school, he quickly put away the chessboard.
Xue Yuantong has not played chess since.
At this moment, Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong opened a game of chess.
In the first game, it only took three minutes, and Xue Yuantong, who Jiang Ning killed, collapsed.
In the second game, it took five minutes.
In the third game, Xue Yuantong was unwilling and was ready to take revenge, but the dish arrived.
She didn't want to eat it, so she insisted on finishing playing with Jiang Ning.
It's a pity that Xue Yuantong still lost in the third game.
Jiang Ning faintly felt struggling, during the years of cultivating immortals in his previous life, he often used chess to chat to relieve boredom, and in the long years, he practiced superb chess skills.
It's just that chess is not played for a long time, the stronger it becomes, otherwise the chess grandfathers at the entrance of those villages may be invincible.
This one, with years of experience, is enough to become a master, but if you go up, you are extremely talented.
Xue Yuantong has made great progress in these games, and if he goes down, the outcome is unpredictable.
Jiang Ning put away his mobile phone: "Let's eat." ”
Xue Yuantong snorted: "Continue at night." ”
"We'll talk about it then." Jiang Ning said perfunctorily.
……
After Jiang Ning finished eating, he left the hotel with Ma Shicheng.
Dong Qingfeng and the others came relatively late, and when they were eating, they talked and laughed, and they only ate half of it.
After seeing Jiang Ning and them leaving, Dong Qingfeng said:
"Jiang Ning's family conditions should be good, right? The food ordered was pretty good. ”
Chen Qian doesn't think so:
"Not necessarily, what the group of people in the back row are like, can you still not know? Often eat well this meal, and eat steamed buns with the old godmother for the next meal. ”
He still remembers the scene of quarreling with Shan Kaiquan in the group that day, which made several people in the back row look unpleasant.
Although Chen Qian was a bit of a group attack, Dong Qingfeng also admitted that the group of people in the back row was really not very good, and it was completely a cancer of the class, and this time maybe the average score of the monthly exam of Class 8 would be pulled down by them.
Wang Yongguang ate and didn't join in, Lin Zida asked him about Jiang Ning, and he decided that Jiang Ning was not simple, so he didn't follow what the two said.
Chen Siqing next to him spoke: "The girl opposite Jiang Ning is very good-looking." ”
