Chapter 128 Passing the Test
"Sister Gu, I lost."
Ning Xi was not surprised by this result. She never thought she could win from the beginning. After all, Gu Ziyi was in the early stages of her career and the gap in hard power was very obvious.
In this game of chess with Gu Ziyi, she has already performed exceptionally well, and she has played beyond the 100th level of the first-level professional level. Before, she would not have dared to think about it.
Of course, the main reason is because Gu Ziyi put some water in it.
Ning Xi also knows this in her heart.
Gu Ziyi shook his head slightly, looking at the chessboard with a sigh on his face, "According to the test rules, you win. At fifty moves, I lose you 1 and 1/3 pieces."
She sighed slightly and said: "It's really hard for me to believe that you have only been learning Go for more than four months, and you are really... very good!"
Ning Xi's eyes were filled with humility, and her soft voice said, "Sister, thank you."
At this point, the test is over.
Gu Yun glanced at his granddaughter, smiled and joked: "Ziyi, Ning Yatou, an amateur at the first level, can survive hundreds of hands in your hands. Are you not very good at this early stage of your career?"
"grandfather!"
Gu Ziyi was quite embarrassed.
"Ha ha……"
After teasing his granddaughter, Gu Yun's eyes fell on Ning Xi and slowly said: "Little girl, you performed very well. Congratulations on passing the test."
"From today on, you are my first apprentice. You must work hard in the future and strive to become a professional chess player as soon as possible."
As a professional nine-dan chess player, Gu Yun has countless people who want to become his teacher.
But he has never accepted a disciple, not even one; because he himself is resistant to accepting apprentices. Professional chess players have many competitions, and he does not want to waste his energy on useless things.
The reason why he made an exception today and accepted Ning Xi as his disciple was firstly because he wanted to repay Ye Fan for saving his life, and secondly because he had a good impression of Ning Xi, and Ning Xi's performance just now was indeed outstanding.
"Hello teacher."
Ning Xi covered her clothes, bowed and saluted, her sweet voice full of happiness and excitement.
"Okay, okay."
Gu Yun laughed heartily and said loudly: "Now is the critical moment of your senior year in high school. You still have to focus on your studies. There is no need to come to my place to learn chess for the time being. If there is anything you don't understand, I'll call you Ziyi.
Just sister, wait until you go to college and then focus on learning chess."
"Um."
Ning Xi nodded obediently.
Ye Fan straightened his collar, bowed to Gu Yun, and said, "Thank you, Teacher Gu."
"It's me who wants to thank you."
Gu Yun waved his hand, picked up the teapot and refilled Ye Fan's cup of tea, and said: "If you hadn't come to rescue me, my old bones would have passed away to the west."
Ye Fan smiled and stopped being polite.
Ning Xi's eyes kept turning.
Originally, she was still wondering why Ye Fan, a person who couldn't even play Go, knew Gu Yun?
A senior high school student and a nine-dan professional who is the most powerful player in the Go world. The two are completely different from each other. Logically speaking, there should be no reason for them to know each other.
But after hearing Gu Yun's words, the doubts in her heart disappeared instantly. Ye Fan told her that he was unable to catch up with the Chinese test because he saved an old man on Wednesday morning.
Thinking about it, the old man saved by Ye Fan should be Gu Yun.
Gu Yun put down the teapot, rubbed his hands towards his granddaughter, and whispered: "Zi Yi, give me one."
Gu Ziyi, who was cleaning up the chessboard, glared and refused sternly: "No, the doctor said you can't smoke until your injury is healed, otherwise it will easily cause infection, so don't think about it!"
"Just one."
Gu Yun's face fell, with a trace of grievance on his face, "It's been a few days..."
"No!"
Gu Ziyi picked up the chessboard and said with a cold face: "I said I won't give it to you, and I won't give it to you!"
Seeing this, Ye Fan smiled and tried to persuade him, "Teacher Gu, you really can't smoke because of your current injury. Please exercise some restraint."
"All right."
After hearing this, Gu Yun didn't insist anymore, but it could be seen from the look on his face that he was still thinking about it a little bit.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Fan took Ning Xi and left.
Originally, Gu Ziyi wanted to give it as a gift, but when she saw the two holding hands together, she gave up the idea instantly.
never mind!
She doesn't want to be stuffed with dog food...
The two walked side by side, very slowly.
The walking speed of the two of them has always been determined by Ning Xi. If she walks fast, Ye Fan will also be fast. If she walks slowly, Ye Fan will also follow suit.
Ning Xi jumped up and down, the corners of her eyes curled up, and her right hand held by Ye Fan shook it, without realizing anything was wrong.
Sensing the girl's happiness, Ye Fan couldn't help but squeeze her little hand and smiled softly: "It seems that Miss Ning is very satisfied with my gift."
Feeling the touch from her hand, Ning Xi quickly pulled her hand away, her cheeks turning pink.
"Thanks."
Ye Fan stopped, turned sideways and faced Ning Xi, raised his hand and touched the top of her head, "No need to say thank you, it's too intrusive."
The temperature on Ning Xi's face continued to rise, and she bit her red lips, "But..."
Ye Fan took back his hand, with a smile in his eyes, and said: "Be good and be obedient. If you do, my brother will buy you candy."
"You are only three months older than me, so you are not my brother."
Hearing the word 'brother', Ning Xi pursed her red lips and retorted strongly: "I told you not to act old-fashioned all the time. I'm not a child. Only children eat sweets."
But little did she know that she looked like a little girl now.
There was a smile on Ye Fan's face. He touched his pocket with his right hand and took out a stack of bright red banknotes. "This is the money given by Sister Lan. How do you want to spend it?"
"Buy review materials?"
"..."
Ning Xi knew that Ye Fan was deliberately teasing her, but she didn't know how to refute, her pretty face showed helplessness and shyness.
Buy a big-headed ghost!
This bad guy...
…………
Return to the car.
Zhuang Li asked aloud: "Miss, who did you go to see? Why did it take so long?"
Ning Xi disappeared from his sight for nearly two hours. He was so anxious just now, but now he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the look he looked at Ye Fan was a little unkind.
Just now he was wondering if this boy had abducted the young lady!
"I went to see a Go teacher."
Ning Xi smiled apologetically and explained softly: "It took a while and made uncle worried."
"It's okay, I'll just ask."
Zhuang Li waved his hand quickly, hesitated, and continued: "Then are we going home now, or are we going somewhere?"
Ning Xi looked at Ye Fan with a questioning look in her eyes.
Ye Fan thought for a while, tilted his upper body, and whispered in Ning Xi's ear: "Xiao Xi, would you like to come to my house?"
Today is his birthday, his first birthday since his rebirth, and he wants to spend it with Ning Xi.
"Go to your house?"
Feeling the hot breath in her ears, Ning Xi's white neck shrank. She didn't know what she thought of. Her face turned red and her voice was low and inaudible: "No... no, we have to put our studies first and not think about those messy things.
Chapter completed!
