Chapter 117 Chess Game
In the small courtyard of Liu Jianxin of Wuji Gate, sunlight shines through the gaps between branches and leaves, forming a mottled light and shadow on the ground.
Xia Qingluo and Qi Yunhe walked into the courtyard.
Qi Yunhe put his hands in his washed-out slacks and called out twice: "Lao Liu, Lao Liu!"
No one responded.
Qi Yunhe was so happy. That old guy Liu Jianxin wasn't here? This was truly a godsend!
Qi Yunhe's face was full of joy. He took out a bunch of wooden chess pieces from his pocket and placed them on the stone table.
Because Liu Jianxin loves playing chess very much, a chessboard is carved directly on the stone table, so there is no need for a chessboard, and one can just play with the chess pieces in hand.
Qi Yunhe skillfully set up the chessboard and waved to Xia Qingluo, "Come on, Xiao Xia, Lao Liu might be busy with some ritual area right now, so it's a good opportunity for us to play chess."
Xia Qingluo smiled helplessly and could only sit opposite Qi Yunhe.
It’s a good opportunity to understand Qi Yunhe’s new tactics so that I can teach Liu Jianxin how to deal with him.
Just when the chess game between the two reached the most tense stage, like the moment of close combat and smoke on the battlefield, a steady sound of footsteps came from afar.
Zhang Jing stepped into the courtyard with his long legs. He was wearing a simple black short-sleeved shirt. The buttons of the shirt had silver patterns on them, adding a touch of style.
He paired it with black jeans, which not only made the shirt look less formal but also added a touch of fashion.
Xia Qingluo was a little surprised. On weekdays, Zhang Jing either wore a white training suit or sportswear of various colors.
Did you dress up specially today?
Zhang Jing did continue to wear today's sports suit when going up the mountain.
His daily outfits are simple and ordinary, but if he attends an event, his agent will match his clothes for him.
Sportswear is suitable for wearing on the set or anywhere.
When filming, no one cares what you wear on a daily basis. Even if you go naked and walk into the dressing room, you will be a different person when you come out.
Exercise clothes are very suitable for morning exercises.
But there was a moment when he realized that he seemed to always wear these clothes in front of Xia Qingluo.
Zhang Jing couldn't explain what that feeling was like. Perhaps only women would have that feeling, because women would often buy a lot of clothes and hope to wear different clothes every day.
Many women who approached him were like this, wearing a different colored dress every day.
His mood seemed to be the same as those women's. Because he cared about someone, he started to change his clothes.
He seemed to... start to take Xia Qingluo seriously.
Qi Yunhe heard footsteps, looked up, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Only then did he realize that Zhang Jing was actually quite handsome.
Every time he met Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing was wearing a white training suit. Apart from his extraordinary temperament, Qi Yunhe didn't pay much attention to Zhang Jing's face.
After all, what is most abundant on the mountain is men wearing white training suits.
He remembered that Lao Liu had mentioned that Zhang Jing was not only a martial arts star, but also entered the entertainment industry to promote Chinese martial arts.
It's a pity that his family only has one grandson. If he had a granddaughter, he would definitely match them up.
However, Yu Hong and Zhang Jing are both in the entertainment industry, and Yu Hong happened to be going to the mountain, so maybe they could get to know each other.
But at this moment, Qi Yunhe's mind was not on these.
He nodded slightly, greeted Zhang Jing, and then quickly lowered his head to look at the chessboard.
Qi Yunhe fiddled with the chess piece in his hand over and over again, his brows furrowed, a look of obvious anxiety on his face.
Why is this little girl Xia Qingluo so murderous?
The last time he played chess with Xia Qingluo, he was defeated twenty times in a row and was scared of being killed.
So this time he learned his lesson and did not choose an overly conservative offensive strategy, but instead adopted the same bold and aggressive approach.
However, he found that he could never be as decisive as Xia Qingluo in the game of chess.
Xia Qingluo seemed to have no scruples when playing chess, daring to give up everything just to achieve the ultimate goal.
But he was always full of worries and hesitant, unable to deal with changes in the chess game as freely as Xia Qingluo.
Zhang Jing sat on the stone bench next to Xia Qingluo. His eyes were instantly attracted by the situation on the chessboard. He couldn't help but be surprised for a moment.
However, looking at Xia Qingluo's maneuvering on the chessboard at this moment, each of her moves seemed random, but in fact, it contained mysteries and was indeed very strategic.
He couldn't help but secretly observe the girl next to him.
Her snow-white skin seemed to have a faint halo under the sunlight, and her delicate profile was like a work of art carefully carved by God.
She wore a simple ponytail, and a few strands of hair on her cheeks fluttered gently in the breeze, making her look more gentle.
Zhang Jing found that he would stare at Xia Qingluo for no apparent reason during this period of time, and would be in a daze for about thirty seconds.
He didn't know what he was looking at, but he thought it was interesting.
Xia Qingluo felt someone was looking at him, so he glanced at Zhang Jing and blinked his beautiful eyes, "Why are you looking at me?"
Zhang Jing was afraid that his thoughts would be exposed. After all, a woman who could have two relationships at the same time must be very knowledgeable about love.
He knew that there was something wrong with his feelings, and if Xia Qingluo found out, nothing good would happen.
Zhang Jing returned his gaze to the chessboard, "No, I was just wondering why you dared to give up so many pieces."
Xia Qingluo smiled with curved lips, her smile was bright and charming, "It's just playing chess, not life. If it were life, I wouldn't dare to give up so many things."
There was a sense of freedom and uninhibitedness in her tone, "Besides, I'm not a chess master, so there's no pressure if I lose."
When Qi Yunhe heard Xia Qingluo's words, he was shocked and suddenly realized.
Indeed, ever since his identity as a chess master was exposed, he began to become involuntarily nervous when playing chess.
Looking back, his so-called undefeated myth was all based on his leisurely and fearless mentality.
At that time, he played chess purely out of love and enjoyed every game without any burden or pressure.
His previous undefeated myths were all built on his leisurely and fearless nature.
However, when he reached the high position of chess master, everything changed. He began to worry about falling from this position, and became cautious and hesitant in every move, and could no longer play as freely and freely as before.
For thirty years, Qi Yunhe has been firmly sitting on the throne of chess saint. His mentality has long transcended the constraints of winning or losing and returned to his original carefree and comfortable state.
However, just a month ago, he was unexpectedly defeated by a little girl, which made him cautious in every move on the chessboard.
"Xiao Xia does have a point." Qi Yunhe smiled cheerfully, "Why don't we start a new game? I'm definitely going to lose this one."
