Chess meets Anliang

5. Puzzles

"You just said you won't participate in the next session?" Ji Liang followed An Lan into the room, and suddenly remembered what An Lan casually mentioned.

"Well, that's the plan at the moment." An Lan ran around all day, feeling sore all over, but she didn't expect to be caught by the point when she said it casually.

"Why?" Ji Liang felt unacceptable. An Lan's chess skills are so good, it's not only a pity to abandon the game, but also cheaper for her lazy sister!

"You care about it? Wouldn't it be beneficial for you not to participate?" An Lan frowned, feeling more and more strange in her heart. She always felt that Ji Xian was too different from her first impression after getting to know her better.

The first time she met Ji Xian, who was still a novice in the competition the year before last, Ji Xian seemed not interested in anyone or anything. Although Xian lost, he still looked at her with a hint of contempt.At that time, she didn't have any idea about Ji Xian, she just thought that it was worth learning one or two in chess, as for character, she concluded that Ji Xian was not easy to get along with.

And Ji Xian, whom she met on the forum last year, had already made her feel the change. From eyes to demeanor, the sense of inconsistency caught her attention.

At first she just thought that she was out of the tense rhythm of the game, but Ji Xian relaxed, and naturally showed more vitality in life. This side is what An Lan likes, and she wants to make friends with Ji Xian like this.

She also did it according to her inner thoughts, but she was too busy with work and she had very little free time. Two months after the forum, she made the first phone call to Ji Xian while drinking coffee. Ji Xian on the other end of the phone As gentle as a little sheep, her hard and tired heart softened a lot after you and I said each other. Afterwards, whenever there was a violent emotional fluctuation, she would always think of Ji Xian, and then decisively picked up the phone and dialed.

During this meeting, she could tell that her relationship with Ji Xian was in a state of constant advancement, but the mystery was also snowballing.

6、Challenge

Things became more and more interesting. After she raised the question, the girl sitting on the other bed was so nervous that her lips trembled a little. This is Ji Xian who showed her arrogant back when she first appeared.

If she hadn't checked her ID card when she checked in, she would really suspect that there was something wrong with this person.

"There's an old saying... when you meet your opponent at chess, it's... endless joy." Under An Lan's probing eyes, Ji Liang dealt with it indiscriminately, "Look, you're good, and I'm good too. There's no chance to confront each other again. The level cannot be raised!"

"It looks like your level will improve a lot tomorrow." Of course An Lan doesn't believe Ji Liang's nonsense, if she really wants to learn from her, she doesn't have to wait until the next competition.

"What do you mean?"

"There's a challenge tomorrow, why, didn't you inform me?"

"What... Challenge?!" Ji Liang was completely dumbfounded, "Where is the notice?"

An Lan then took out an invitation-style card from her bag. It was golden and familiar to Ji Liang. The more it looked, the more it looked like the piece of waste paper that was placed on the dinner table at home to insulate the heat a few days ago...

"Well, I have received it, An Lan, go take a shower first, I will read a book for a while." Ji Liang really didn't know what to do, she wanted to send An Lan away quickly, and called her sister to find out...

"Okay." Seeing that Ji Liang was in a daze, An Lan wanted to give her some freedom, so she went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The sound of rushing water sounded, and Ji Liang was finally able to breathe heavily. She quickly dialed the number she knew so well, but there was no answer...

Too bad, my sister is probably with her brother-in-law-to-be at the moment, so she has to call home and ask her parents to call her back after her sister comes home.

But seeing that An Lan came out of the shower, and her sister hadn't called back yet, Ji Liang gradually became restless while waiting. What should I do? She couldn't handle it at all, whether it was the challenge or other competitions.

She sat on the bed and stretched out her hands dully. Her somewhat rough hands can use pliers and repair circuits, but she has never touched checkers...
