The corners of his mouth turned down, and Su Deng's eyes smiled, "What do you still say, in order to save you, I have a long cut on my calf, and the blood is so scared that I am ugly, can I not cry?" Look, they all have scars now. ”

The pants were loose, Su Deng just ripped them open a little, and Shen Yuqing saw a faint raised mark on the creamy skin of her left calf, extending inward along the muscles and bones.

For a while, he couldn't help but reach out to caress it, but he was dodged by Su Deng at the moment of touching.

She put down her trouser leg and sat down, smiled and said itchy, "I still want to go to the hospital for surgery to get this scar removed, but unfortunately I either don't have time, or I always forget." ”

His eyes stayed on her pale legs and feet for a while, and then Shen Yuqing said, "It's quite light, no need for surgery." Facing those beautiful red eyes, he reluctantly raised a smile, "Besides, I didn't go for a hair transplant." ”

He pointed to the top of his head, Su Deng was amused by him, thought for a while, understood what he meant, and nodded: "Now you are sick, listen to you." ”

Shen Yuqing saw that she was too well-behaved, but when she heard the reason, she shook her head helplessly and looked out of the cave, "Cough, we were young at that time, we didn't have a mobile phone, and you told me that you heard a wolf howling, and dragged me forward, dragging me forward, dragging and scolding ...... while dragging."

"Why did I scold you?" Su Deng's eyes widened in confusion.

"You scolded me for learning Go for no use, and now I can't help anything." Shen Yuqing said in a flat tone.

"I ......" memories blow down her heart like falling leaves, Su Deng finally remembered, it seems that there is indeed such a thing, suddenly, she touched the tip of her nose a little embarrassed, "Uh...... At that time, you were not sensible, besides, you learned chess...... In our current situation, can chess play send us up? It's really useless, isn't it? ”

When the words landed, Shen Yuqing looked at her and pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, the light from the clouds outside the cave penetrated in, hitting the mirrors on both sides of his tall nose, and the reflection of white light made his timeless face unexpectedly melt into a bit of divinity.

Speaking of this, Su Deng couldn't help but raise his cheeks, "Shen Yuqing, the first time we had a conflict was because of Go, why do you love playing chess so much?" ”

The pearl is round and jade, the tender and tactful voice is immersed in the heart lake, the ripples are in circles, and Shen Yuqing lowers his eyes.

Why?

Is it because his parents had a business marriage, but they gave birth to him even though they had no love, and then they each had fun outside? Or was it because in the face of him, who couldn't speak at the age of five, his mother waved a stick at him with tears on her cheeks, just to make him speak? Or is it because when he was 7 years old, after he was diagnosed with autism, his parents no longer cared about him, and even put the confiscated chessboard back in his room, like he should not be a son from now on?

None of this seems to be as interesting as him touching the chessboard, twisting a chess piece, and exploring the infinite variations hidden in the game.

"Think for yourself." Shen Yuqing flicked her head, "You already know the answer." ”

Su Deng pouted in pain, "What do I know...... If you don't want to say it, don't say it. She seemed to think of something again, her tone softened a little, and she said thoughtfully: "There is one thing, in fact, I have always wanted to ask you." ”

She leaned closer to him, "Do you remember the first time we played?" I'll admit that I was wrong to mess around with your chessboard, but I just wanted to win you, what do you say I'm here......" she tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Oh, you said that nothing is worth tainting a game of chess to get, saying that I play chess for fun, only to win or lose, and not to be worthy of playing chess at all." She pouted, "I really don't know Go, and when I play chess, I only have wins and losses in mind." But isn't it right to win? Don't you want to win? That's a bit too much to scold me. ”

A smile like a warm spring sun appeared on the corner of his lips again, and Shen Yuqing said: "I think about it now, the way of the game, there are wins and losses, and the heart of victory and defeat is actually a very normal thing." No matter how disadvantaged it is, if you lose, you will find a way to win it back next time; If you win, find a way not to lose. ”

Su Deng couldn't help nodding, "What you said is more like a human sentence than it was back then." ”

Shen Yuqing raised his eyebrows, "I had my own pursuit of Go at that time, so I knew that you cheated to win me......"

"Ahem......" Su Deng blinked awkwardly.

Shen Yuqing smiled and changed the conversation, "But playing chess is a hand talk, and it is a process of intimate friendship between the two sides of the game. If only I had been able to understand a little more tolerance from the thousands of changes in Go at that time, and a little less care about the process-oriented results. If that were the case, we might have gotten along better at that time. ”

Before the words landed, a snapping sound came, and I saw Su Deng clapping exaggeratedly beside him, "Tut-tut, it's worthy of you, I thought someone was going to discipline me again, but I didn't expect to see you for so many years, your strength has become so big, and your heart is so broad-minded, I can't wait for it." ”

"You." Shen Yuqing smiled, "Go can only be played by two people." He used his hand to compare a two, "Chess and friends are very important, and it took me ten years to understand this truth." ”

"The children can be taught." Su Deng touched his beard and sighed.

"But ......" Shen Yuqing accentuated his tone again, "Su Deng, I still want to say that since ancient times, there has been no name in chess competition, and if both sides of the game care too much about winning or losing, the game itself will lose its due meaning." He lifted his glasses and said in a long and long tone, "Winning one eye is winning, and winning one hundred eyes is also winning." The winner is not arrogant, and the loser is not discouraged. Life is short for dozens of years, and it is lucky to be able to leave a child without regrets. ”

The deep voice landed one after another, and Su Deng felt like a warm palm, smoothing the restlessness that arose out of thin air in her heart.

She couldn't help but put away her teasing look and looked at the person in front of her with eyes like stars, "Shen Yuqing, since you like Go so much, and you happen to be talented, I still remember when you said that you wanted to be the world's number one chess player, but why did you give up Go and study medicine instead?" ”

Outside the cave, the rain seemed to be falling tired, and gradually subsided.

"You could have made a big splash in chess, don't you really regret it now?"

Sighing lightly, Shen Yuqing looked at the girl beside him with a puzzled face.

After a long time, Su Deng heard the man's calm and self-contained voice rushing towards her like deep seawater, "It is me who loves Go, and it is also me who changes my ambition to become a doctor." I don't regret learning chess, nor do I regret choosing to become a healer in the future. Go and medicine are both my wishes, but I just chose what I wanted more, and I don't regret it. ”

Saying that, Shen Yuqing couldn't help but reach out and stroke the beautiful face in front of him, "Didn't you ask me once why I was willing to help you?" ”

Su Deng nodded.

"Have you ever thought that the answer to this question is the same as the question you just asked?"
