He looked at Gu Yunshu with sincerity and curiosity.
Gu Yunshu also told him very seriously, âOf course you canât go down here. Look, if you go down here, I can only go down there. Then you go down here, and then follow closely⦠Iâll lose.â
Xia Yue, who was playing chess at the side, almost choked on his own saliva when he heard his words.
Liu Yi was also speechless. âItâs fine if you lose. Iâm good at chess. Itâs normal that you canât compare to me. Itâs not embarrassing to lose.â
âYouâve misunderstood. Iâm not afraid of losing face. Iâm actually doing this for your own good,â Gu Yunshu said sincerely and solemnly.
This time, Liu Yi didnât quite understand. âWhat do you mean?â
âThink about it. Weâre learning to play chess, so you definitely hope that the more you play, the better at it you become. If you play with me, wonât it be boring to win in such a short time? But no one here is your match, so youâre the only one you have to challenge.â
âThen how⦠should I challenge myself?â Liu Yi asked humbly.
âYou have to turn the impossible into a possibility,â Gu Yunshu suggested kindly. âLook, your chess piece should be placed here, so I can stop you. Then do you think that it wonât be so easy to win this chess game? You have to challenge this difficulty. Think about it. I made a lousy move, but I still have the ability to turn the tables. Wouldnât that be challenging yourself?â
Liu Yiâs eyes lit up. âThat makes sense.â
The people beside him actually felt that this theory was not wrong at all.
Gu Yundongâs eyes almost popped out. This worked?
Even the teacher, who was sitting not far away and reading the chess records, could not help but twitch his lips. He glanced at Gu Yunshu and pitied Liu Yi.
As expected, Liu Yi really listened to his suggestion and placed the chess piece in the position that Gu Yunshu had mentioned.
Gu Yunshu immediately placed the white chess piece happily.
Alright, it was Liu Yiâs turn to frown and think for a long time.
After two or three steps, Gu Yunshu placed the white chess piece on the chessboard and jumped up from his seat.
âI won, hahaha, I won. Thank you, thank you everyone for your support and love for me. I couldnât get to where I am today without everyoneâs help and care, especially Liu Yi. He sacrificed himself to help me. Iâm so touched.â
He was overjoyed. He ran around the classroom, his face flushed with excitement.
On the other side, Liu Yi was still holding the black piece with a dumbfounded expression. He⦠he won?
Gu Yunshu was overjoyed and ran back to Liu Yiâs side. He patted his shoulder and comforted him. âItâs alright. You just didnât succeed in challenging yourself. Itâs not embarrassing to lose to me.â
Gu Yundong covered her face. No, this was not her brother.
However, the teacher could not help but pick up a chess piece and throw it at him. âWhat are you happy about? Itâs an unfair victory.â
Gu Yunshu said confidently and puffed out his chest. âThen do you think that what I said just now was wrong?â
The teacher choked. It really⦠seemed to be true.
âMy elder sister said that itâs my ability to fool people until theyâre crippled.â The little guy looked very proud.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Yundong:ââ¦â No, I never said that. Donât spout nonsense.
âNow do you know how much youâve led the children astray?â Qin Wenzhengâs familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Gu Yundong suddenly turned her head and saw that her father and Qin Wenzheng had arrived at some point. It seemed like they had watched the entire scene?
Qin Wenzheng snorted. âCome over. I have something to tell you.â
