follow my heart

Chapter 18

Meng Buqing was silent for a few seconds, and asked irrelevantly, "Do you think I played badly?"

"The reason why you lost so quickly is that if you feel that you didn't play well..." Ji Wan pushed down her glasses and said flatly, "Then you feel right."

"..."

"You play very badly. It's much worse than I imagined. If I let you play a few more dice, I can beat you without any suspense."

"..."

Meng Buqing opened his mouth again.

She looked like she was about to cry: "Isn't it? You deliberately attacked me when you were in a bad mood!"

Ji Wan lowered her eyes and rolled up a piece of her cuffs, and said slowly: "A person who underestimates the enemy when he comes up, what more praises do he want to hear?"

Meng Buqing stared at her slender wrist: "Mr. Ji, I was wrong."

"Are you still going?"

Ji Wan asked as she separated the black and white chess pieces, picked them up and put them back into the chess box.

Meng Buqing nodded, "Get down!"

She frowned and watched Ji Wan's chess moves one by one, and couldn't help but help.First wipe the entire chessboard, and then quickly sort out black and white.

My piece is clean in a blink of an eye.

Meng Buqing raised his hand to divide the chess pieces in front of Ji Wan.

The black and white pieces were pushed aside from the mixture, and her hand inadvertently touched her fingertips, soft and cold.Meng Buqing didn't feel anything.

Ji Wan quickly withdrew her hand.

"Come and collect."

"Oh, good." Meng Buqing gave her a suspicious look.

Start again.

Ji Wan was not as taciturn as before.After she made a bet, she would occasionally tell Meng Buqing why she was in this position, and let her think about how to play a better quality offense or defense.

This round is over.

Ji Wan finally evaluated her objectively: "The sense of chess is good, and the calculation ability is not bad, but the overall situation is a bit poor. You must eat what is delivered to you, and you don't care about it."

There is continuous rain outside, and there is always a special kind of soothing and tranquility in rainy nights.

Meng Buqing looked at the game of chess, and wanted to play again, but his heart was always thinking: Ji Wan's voice sounds so comfortable.

Deep and soft, like the gentle moonlight hitting the gurgling mountain spring water.

Be persuasive, but not eloquent.

"Are you still coming?"

"Uh-huh."

Start another round.Ji Wan lowered her voice and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "So you don't like to go to class, how did you get there in the past three years of high school? Did the teacher ignore you?"

"Of course I will! No one cares about me. I couldn't even pass the technical school." Meng Buqing pursed her lips and showed a bitter expression, "The teacher is very responsible. If I fail the exam, I will be taken to their home to make up lessons."

"Do high school teachers have so much free time?"

"Not idle, but they..."

Meng Buqing spoke softly.

The mind is all between the chessboard.

Ji Wan seemed to be deliberately distracting her: "Why don't you continue talking?"

"Well...they are very busy. One time, I failed an exam and asked my parents to come to school. I said, my parents are divorced, my mother is abroad and my father is on a business trip. I haven't seen anyone for half a month. "

Ji Wan glanced at her, "And then?"

"Then the math teacher was very angry. She thought that I lied to her with a fake call and scolded me, so I cried... Then the class teacher told her it was true, and no one in my family cared about me. She felt sorry for me in her heart. I took her home, cooked for me, and coaxed me."

"En." Ji Wan listened with interest.

"She is very young. She just came to our school for an internship. She may feel that she just happened to meet me and has a sense of mission. She said to me, 'It's okay, your parents don't care, I will take care of you in the future' I ate her meal, I also felt a little embarrassed, so I obediently listened to her."

After that, the math teacher took her to his home every day, cooked for her, and gave her tutoring.

Meng Buqing has a short mouth and has changed from a rebellious little prick to a shy little boy. He can write whatever test papers he asks, neither making trouble nor being lazy.

Mathematics grades have naturally improved overtaking, from the bottom [-] at the beginning of the semester to the top [-] at the end of the semester, and never fell out of the top three.

When the other teachers heard the news, they also became very kind to Meng Buqing.

If there is nothing to do, I will catch her and go to the office to make up for homework.

Several teachers even bet in the office, guessing which subject Meng Buqing will improve the most in the next exam.

Meng Buqing's excellent score in the college entrance examination is entirely due to being stared at by various teachers every day and pushed hard.Under those strict and gentle correct teachings, her personal achievements accounted for only a small part.

Talking, chess is still playing.

Ji Wan looked at her, bent her lips and smiled, "Teacher likes you very much."

"Oh?" Meng Buqing raised his eyes and stared at her with a smile, "The teacher likes me."

Slowly repeat.

Ji Wan put the chess pieces back, pretending not to know that she was teasing herself:

"You lost again."

"Well, let's play another game." Meng Buqing tilted his face, "I have benefited a lot from playing against a master like Teacher."

Ji Wan said blankly, "I'm hungry."

"..."

The most popular late-night items are undoubtedly grilled or fried.The two checked the nearby shops that were still open, and decided to go to the barbecue opposite the gym.

These days, they are all busy with their own business.

Finally came to the gym again, but passed by it to eat the supper next to it.

Entering the store, Meng Buqing handed her the menu and said, "Look carefully, I like to eat everything anyway."

"Okay." Ji Wan picked up a pencil and quickly marked the food for two people.

Serving is fast.

There are red crayfish lying on the huge stainless steel plate, with five fragrances, which can arouse greed even if you are not hungry.

Ji Wan put on plastic gloves, peeled a few shrimps, and found that Meng Buqing hadn't moved.

"What's the matter, don't you eat crayfish?"

Meng Buqing shook his head, "No."

Other skewers will be served soon.

Meng Buqing put on his gloves and took a skewer of pork belly.

She also asked for a can of beer, and while she was drinking, she murmured to Ji Wannian: "Why are you so good at Go? I don't think you play Go, do you secretly use your mobile phone to play it? Then do you have anything else?"

Ji Wan smiled: "There are so many questions."

Meng Buqing stared at her innocently: "Can't you?"

The two chatted one after another.

Ji Wan asked again: "You still haven't touched the crayfish, why don't you eat it? If you don't like it, just say so."

"It's not that I don't like it, because..." Meng Buqing lowered his face, "Children don't like to peel shrimps, so there will always be someone to help them peel them until they grow up to be able to peel them by themselves. The person who helps me peel shrimps, I left very early, too early, and I haven't had time to meet."

After saying that, she felt that she was being hypocritical again, so she hurriedly raised her head to look at Ji Wan's reaction.

Ji Wan had a calm expression on her face, as if she wasn't really listening.

"I'm talking nonsense," Meng Buqing heaved a sigh of relief, took a crayfish and slowly peeled it up, and said with a smile, "You eat so slowly, things like grilling don't taste good when they get cold."

"Ah."

Ji Wan responded, and peeled a few more in her hands, and put them in the stainless steel plate after peeling.

Talked for a while.

The shells in Ji Wan's hand have piled up into a hill.

"Why didn't you eat it after peeling it?" Meng Buqing looked curiously.

"Let it go, enjoy the taste."

Meng Buqing just ate one and didn't find it unpleasant.She saw the little pile of cleanly peeled shrimp in front of her and wanted to play a trick.

I thought, let it taste delicious?Watch me quietly eat it for you.

She glanced at Ji Wan, and at the right moment when she lowered her head, she reached out and grabbed a handful of shrimp meat, and stuffed it all into her mouth.

Only a few were left for Ji Wan.

"..."

Meng Buqing suppressed her smile and looked at her with an innocent expression.

Waiting for her to scold.

Ji Wan just glanced at her and didn't say anything.I was still peeling the prawns in my hand and continued to put them on the plate.

After a few beats, Meng Buqing felt something was wrong.

Watch the movement of her fingers.

I thought, is she just stripping me?

"..."

Meng Buqing was distracted and looked up at her.

Ji Wan lowered her eyes to peel the prawns, as if she was peeling them, but also as if she just didn't care about her.Maybe it was the pair of glasses on the bridge of the nose, the narrow lenses were slightly reflective, covering the expression in her eyes.

Make her appear difficult to pry.

"Why do you wear glasses while eating skewers?" Meng Buqing took off the disposable gloves and boldly took off her glasses. "It's not convenient."

The moment he leaned over, the woman's expressionless white face was close at hand, her dark eyes were looking at her, and only her reflection was shrunk.

Meng Buqing's heart swayed slightly again.

The brief exchange of glances was interrupted by someone: "Hello, that... can I have a contact information?" A middle-aged man in a black shirt stood beside Ji Wan.

It should be the guest at the table next to them.

Meng Buqing turned his face away, not having time to see his face clearly.

"No." Ji Wan didn't raise her eyes, she was still peeling the crayfish in her hand.

"..."

The man went back in embarrassment.

For some reason, Meng Buqing suddenly wanted to laugh.She leaned back and said casually: "You can't do this, girls should be more tactful when they refuse others."

"How tactful." Ji Wan asked.

"I'll teach you. He asked you for WeChat, and you said you don't want to use WeChat. He asked for a mobile phone number, but I haven't bought a mobile phone yet." Meng Buqing poked the grilled eggplant with his chopsticks, and said solemnly, "Ask your name, just say yes No name was given."

"..."

Ji Wan stared at her helplessly, but couldn't hold back the corners of her lips.
