"You ......" Gu Shuhui looked at the background of her departure in shock.

Gu Mo grabbed her wrist, "Mom, my sister's temper is like this, she has a hard mouth and a soft heart, haven't you gotten used to it?"

Su Deng, who walked to the door of the room, sneered when she heard this, and she knew that Gu Mo would excuse her.

Do you think she'll be soft-hearted if you do this?

In the past, she might have wavered, but after knowing his dirty thoughts, this may be gone forever.

Seeing the lush street scene gradually dipped in the smell of fireworks, Su Deng asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to send me back to school?" You're on the wrong track. ”

"When did I say I was going to send you back?" Shen Yuqing twisted the steering wheel and said calmly.

"Tsk, little old-fashioned, you don't really want to take me to the grove with me, do you?" Su Deng crossed his hands and held his shoulders.

Seeing that she had the intention to joke, Shen Yuqing's hanging heart relaxed slightly.

Three minutes later.

Su Deng stood at the door of a chess hall.

"Black and white asked?" She pointed to the plaque and asked the man next to her, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

Shen Yuqing held her hand, "I can point to it, don't point to chess." ”

Before she could react, he let go and walked in.

"Who's pointing you to stinky chess? Being able to play a game of chess can be remarkable for you. Su Deng shook his fist behind his back.

If she hadn't asked him, she would have suffocated to death if she stayed with such a pretentious old-fashioned person for a second.

"Keep up." A grim voice came from the front.

Su Deng rolled his eyes and reluctantly walked in.

The outside of the chess hall is simple, but the inside is very classical, the horizontal fence carved wood is separated into a private room, the green fish tank is scattered and dotted, and the crisp sound of the chess pieces falling from time to time comes from time to time, which has a special interest.

Shen Yuqing seemed to be a frequent visitor here, and when he passed by the front desk, a woman wearing a cyan cheongsam and a little pink daisy got up and called Mr. Shen.

"Is this your friend?" The woman looked at it with a pair of watery eyes and asked curiously

Shen Yuqing nodded, without explaining too much, "You're busy." Then he pulled Su Deng, who was still looking around behind him, and walked to the old place.

"Eh, this isn't Shen ......," another woman who came out of the pantry opened the curtain in surprise.

Seeing the gestured gaze of the woman in Tsing Yi, she hurriedly lowered her voice.

"Didn't he come on a thunderous Wednesday afternoon? It's only Saturday, right? ”

The woman in Tsing Yi shook her head, "I don't know, he also took a girl and went to his chess room." ”

"What?! Are you sure you're not dazzled? Hasn't Shen Yuqing always been alone? He's been here to play chess for three or four years, but I've never seen anyone he bring. ”

The woman in Tsing Yi looked at the direction in which the two disappeared and was silent.

Chess room.

Su Deng was pressed to sit on the opposite side of the chessboard, and when he saw the man sitting down in front of Shi Shiran, he didn't know what he meant for a while.

"Do you still blame me for playing on your chessboard when I was a child? If you're so stingy, won't you win a game......"

"Ignoring the rules as nothing, is your opportunistic victory considered a victory?" Shen Yuqing said.

Su Deng pursed his lips and looked at the pear-yellow chessboard in front of him, and a sense of familiarity came to his heart.

She looked to the side, and sure enough, on the side of the chessboard, which was about three fingers thick, she saw the English italicized "A", and the small oblique pen that appeared on the middle of the letter.

"Huh! Didn't I paddle? Do you still have this chess table? ”

Su Deng happily reached out to touch it, and the fingertips rubbed against the dented nicks, and a sense of nostalgia arose.

"You dare to take the initiative to mention this to me." Shen Yuqing said in an unkind tone.

Su Deng put down his hand and said unjustifiably: "Who hasn't been naughty yet." She looked at him, "However, I still remember when you were holding the chessboard and crying, it was called a fierce one, and it was ugly." ”

Seeing that Shen Yuqing was about to get angry, Su Deng hurriedly straightened his expression, "But now that I think about it, you are the person I have ever seen who loves chess the most, and no one else can compare to you, really." ”

Shen Yuqing raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Is that so? ”

"Absolutely." Su Deng's tone was accentuated.

Facing the man's inquiring gaze, her mind turned nine and eighteen turns, recalling the scene of her first encounter, hoping to hold back some more nice words.

"Back then, uh...... Seeing you sitting in front of the board for a day makes me feel like in your world, if Go comes in second, nothing else comes first. ”

"Well, that's a good point, go ahead." Shen Yuqing squinted, as if he was very useful in listening.

Su Deng scolded secretly, "Ah, there is still ah...... Oh yes, do you remember when I asked you why you like Go so much? You said something in Latin......"

Shen Yuqing's thin lips opened slightly, and he just wanted to pick it up.

He didn't think that after all these years, she would remember what he had only said once.

Although this phrase he liked very much.

In the next second, the words were mellow and the words with a pure tone blurted out from Su Deng's mouth.

“Ad astra per aspera.”

Shen Yuqing put his hand on the table and finally sat upright.

His throat tightened, "That... Do you remember what this phrase meant? ”

Su Deng nodded confidently, "Of course." Follow this arduous journey to reach the horizon. Am I right? ”

She tilted her head playfully, her eyes curled into sharp crescents, as if begging for his compliment.

"It's exactly the same." Shen Yuqing heard himself say, "Your memory is better than I imagined." ”

Su Deng grimaced at him, "What is it?" You should say that I am very impressed by your little old-fashionedness, and I remember the way you play chess, and even what you said will not be forgotten for a long time. ”

Shen Yuqing was a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat and exchanged the chess box in his hand with hers.

Su Deng took it and opened it to look, but saw that it was full of white seeds.

The beads are round and jade, and they emit a crystal clear color under the warm light.

She recalls the chess gestures taught by her childhood men, her little hand is outstretched, her thumb and index finger are twisted, and when she turns her fingertips, the chess pieces are set between her index and middle fingers.

"That's it." Shen Yuqing also twisted a sunspot, "Let's come to the next game." ”

"What?" The chess pieces on the fingertips fell off and fell on the table with a "click" sound.

Su Deng hurriedly picked it up, "You have to play with me, a person who has just learned to play chess, are you mistaken?" No, no. ”

She threw the chess back into the chess box, remembered something, and pointed at the chess pieces in Shen Yuqing's hand with wide eyes.

"You also deliberately changed chess with me before the start, I remember that in Go, black first and white later, right, you still have the first advantage, you are too villain, I will do whatever it takes to win. Isn't it just that I won a game against you when I was a kid, as for that? ”

Shen Yuqing chuckled, as if acquiescing.

In Go, even if black goes first, he has to give white three and three-quarters of a discs at the end of the game in order to eliminate the first move, but he doesn't plan to tell her about that.

"I've always held a grudge, did you just know me?" As she spoke, Shen Yuqing fell in front of her.
