The Queen's Secret

Chapter 23) The Story of the Bai Family

In fact, many chess masters really rely not on acquired training but on an innate sensitivity to chess.As smart as she was, she finally threw the pawn to the ground angrily after playing chess with Qin Liang three times.It had to be said that she hated the feeling of having no way out at all.I feel really stupid.

"Don't be in a hurry. How can you learn how to play chess in three or two days? Have you read the book I gave you yesterday?" Qin Liang looked at the sloppy girl in front of him with a smile on his face. , angry and funny.

But she was even more annoyed, stomping her feet and holding her head: "I read it, I didn't sleep all night last night and I read it all night, you can ask me any question I can recite, but it's useless at all, I Still can't play, still keep losing!" The days are running out, and in another week, it will be the day when my aunt will visit her parents. If she can't comprehend the mystery of chess within a week, it will be tantamount to wasting all previous efforts , how can she not be in a hurry.

He walked up to her, pressed her shoulders and let her sit back on the seat: "Calm down and finish this round. Don't try to memorize the formula, and don't think about winning or losing. My master once said to me, In chess, the most important thing is to calm down."

"Doctor Qin's master must be very powerful." She finally calmed down a little and was able to talk to him gently.

He nodded, and a little sentimentality and loneliness suddenly appeared in his eyes: "It's a pity that he is no longer here. Many times, I always feel that Master is by my side, but he has been away for a full ten years. The one who was once famous all over the world Dai Ji has been away for ten years."

Dai Ji——.She will never forget this name for the rest of her life. Ten years ago, Bai Qingwan went to Fengwu Lane alone to seek medical treatment, and the person she sought was Dai Ji.That old gentleman who always wears glasses to prevent others from seeing his glasses, that medical legend Dai Ji, that Dai Ji who has the only hope in the world to heal A Yan.It turned out to be his master.

"Why have you never told me that your master is Mr. Dai Ji? Mr. Dai, Mr. Dai..."

When she came to Qin Liang's clinic eight years ago, she did tell him everything that happened that year, but the only thing she didn't mention was the old man's surname and background. , everything is already predestined: "Dr. Qin, since you are Dai Lao's disciple, you must be able to cure A Yan's illness, right?"

He didn't agree, nor refused, but sat opposite her again, looking straight at her: "Then finish this game first. If you can win me, I will promise you."

Time passed by, and when she finally tasted the victory, she was more suspicious: "You deliberately lost to me." At her level, at most she can win a beginner chess player. Qin Liang, unless he releases the water.

"I may not be the only one who wants to lose you on purpose."

At this moment, she was able to truly appreciate the true intentions of old master Bai, to truly realize Qin Liang's good intentions, and then to clearly know that she, who has always claimed to be smart, has made such a big detour.Because, Bai Lao never thought that she would win him. The reason why he made such a request was nothing more than to give each other a higher level. In fact, when he raised the condition, he had already agreed to her.Because of him, she would never let her lose.

"You, I'm so stupid. Why didn't you tell me earlier."

"Grandpa Bai is a hero in the chess world. If you don't learn some basic skills, what will you do if you let him?" At that time, wouldn't it be that you don't even know how to lose.

After so many years, if Qin Liang wasn't by her side, she would have lost her whereabouts.She put all her thoughts on Bai Qingwan's heart, and often lost her mind. If he hadn't reminded her from time to time, she really wouldn't know what to do.She owed him a lot, but this guilt cannot be offset by a single thank you.But in short, it is really a happy thing to have such a blue-faced confidant by my side.

When she went to Bai's house again, Mr. Bai was no longer as serious as before. Instead of sitting on the rocking chair and reading a book or newspaper, he was sitting on the sofa watching TV with a friendly face. When he saw her, he turned off the TV and signaled She sat down, the smile on her face undiminished.Not to mention the old lady Bai, when she saw Xuerou visiting again, she smiled and went to help her peel apples.

The sun was just right on Sunday afternoon, and the two people sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows had faint smiles on their faces, but each had their own concerns.A game of chess lasted for more than two hours. At the end, a deeper smile finally appeared on Old Man Bai's face.

"Thank you, old man." The warm yellow light reflected on her soft face, and she smiled gratefully at the old man opposite.She, Liao Xuerou, is so lucky.She is very grateful that the old man gave her this step.She was finally able to confirm that there was still a soft place in the heart of this seemingly stubborn old man, and the person living in this hell was his daughter.

"Xuerou. From now on, just call me grandpa. It's Zhen'er's blessing to have this daughter-in-law. Not only pleading for her, kneeling for her, saying good things for her, but also specially getting pills for her mother. Zhen'er Son, I will never go to the hospital." He smiled and glanced at the chess game he had already lost, got up and wanted to walk to the sofa, Xue Rou stepped forward to help him, "Zhen'er, it's your mother-in-law's baby name .”

It turned out that the old man already knew that she got the pill. Compared with him, his skills were still very shallow, and the lies he had painstakingly woven were seen through at a glance.But fortunately, now the bitterness has finally come to an end.

Old Madam Bai also smiled happily when she saw the two people slowly walking towards her. In her memory, she hadn't seen such a warm scene for many years, so she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The old man took off his reading glasses, sighed, and leaned on the back of the sofa, as if he was about to tell a long and complicated story.The story of the Bai family that has been sealed for a long time.

"I am a soldier. 45 years ago, I was entrusted by an old comrade-in-arms of mine to raise his son. This old comrade-in-arms is the old comrade-in-arms I mentioned to you before, and I promised him the conditions." He said Picking up the family photo on the coffee table, he caressed the person in the frame with his old hand, "This is his son."
