Ren Yaoqi held a sunspot in his hand and would not fall, tilted his head and pondered.
Xiao Jingxi was very patient and did not rush him. When it was Ren Yaoqi's turn, he seemed to drink tea quietly.
The little goat who had been driven aside by Xiao Jinglin didn't know when it ran back and touched the edge of the stone table with its head. The two chess players just glanced at it and let it go.
Ren Yaoqi secretly judged the current situation, Xiao Jingxi's chess style was generally stable, but at critical moments he always came up with great tricks. Ren Yaoqi's chess style is actually somewhat similar to his, but she learned it by the day after tomorrow, and Xiao Jingxi is very talented.
Although it seems that the two are evenly divided now, Ren Yaoqi is afraid that if Xiao Jingxi takes another slant, she is afraid that she will lose.
"Is the outcome determined in one game?" Ren Yaoqi asked after Hei Zi fell in his hands.
Xiao Jingxi's shot was very fast, and before Ren Yaoqi's black piece was put down, his white piece landed on the chessboard.
"What does Miss Ren think?" Xiao Jingxi asked gently with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and nodded: "It's better to make a quick decision. If I've been out for a long time, my mother will be worried."
"Let's have a game then," Xiao Jingxi was very obedient.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him, and the sunspot in his hand suddenly turned to another place.
Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ren Yaoqi, the white child in his hand dropped.
Next, Ren Yaoqi seemed to be a different person, and began to attack the city recklessly, only attacking but not defending.
Generally speaking, a person's chess style is roughly fixed, which is why it is said that a person's chess style can roughly determine that person's temperament. If the player wants to look at the next three steps, he also needs to know the approximate number of opponents in order to make an accurate judgment.
However, Ren Yaoqi's chess game was very different from her temperament, and Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but be surprised that he brought Liang Jun's awe-inspiring force to the front.
However, he has never been able to meet an opponent in chess. Ren Yaoqi's performance was far beyond his expectations. She seemed to be playing a Chinese national in the east and a stick in the west. network. Xiao Jingxi looked at the chessboard, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little more interesting, and his moves couldn't help but sharpen.
However, because Ren Yaoqi didn't play cards according to the rules of the cards, Xiao Jingxi's fall was not as fast as before.
On the other hand, for Ren Yaoqi, her rhythm suddenly quickened, and every time she felt like she didn't think twice.
If it was another opponent, I'm afraid she would have disrupted the pace long ago. Only Xiao Jingxi remained calm, and Ren Yaoqi's sudden burst of explosive power made Xiao Jingxi have the urge to fight her in the first round.
Time passed minute by minute, during which Apple quietly ran back once, saw Ren Yaoqi playing chess with Xiao Jingxi, and quietly retreated again.
The two were fighting indistinguishably and in high spirits, Xiao Jingxi suddenly stopped, frowning at the chess game at hand and pondering slightly.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and drank tea without any expression.
After a while, Xiao Jingxi dropped the white child in his hand, and looked up at Ren Yaoqi with a slight smile on his face: "Miss Ren is really amazing, is it because the drunkard's intention is not drinking?"
Ren Yaoqi sighed lightly, and sure enough, he still found out.
However, she arranged this game so delicately that even if Xiao Jingxi found out now, it would be too late.
After a while, Ren Yaoqi picked up the pieces in his hand and asked with a smile, "Is it still necessary to play?"
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile in his eyes: "You never thought about winning but made an aggressive gesture."
He looked down at the chessboard again, nodded and said, "The arrangement of this 'robbery' is really delicate, I have never seen such a situation before, and I can't think of a solution for a moment. It's a draw."
Seeing Xiao Jingxi admit that it was a draw, Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief.
She is not as good as Xiao Jingxi in chess skills, so she can only use opportunistic tricks.
"I also saw it in a broken chess book, but I just took it out and used it today." Ren Yaoqi laughed.
"But it has been said before that the outcome of the game will be decided, what can we do now?" Xiao Jingxi has excellent cultivation, and he was still not angry after being put out by Ren Yaoqi, and asked with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi didn't want to decide who would win or lose with Xiao Jingxi. Zhu Ruomei was not hers, she couldn't decide whether he would stay or not, and everything was up to him. And the matter of the Han family was a thorn in her mind. She didn't want to say anything until the truth came out, because no one would believe it.
Ren Yaoqi was about to speak when Xiao Jinglin came back over there with an unpainted log tray in her hand. On the tray was a Longquan kiln lotus-petal pattern bowl. When she got close, Ren Yaoqi smelled something. Strong medicinal fragrance.
Xiao Jinglin put the tray directly on the chessboard that had not been put away: "It's time to drink the medicine."
Xiao Jingxi looked at the medicine bowl helplessly and said, "Why did you send it?"
"Because you can't drink it when they bring it." Xiao Jinglin picked up the medicine bowl and handed it to Xiao Jingxi's lips, telling the truth.
Xiao Jingxi tilted her head to avoid it, but Xiao Jinglin frowned: "Why are you still as difficult to serve as you were when you were a child, you even twitch when you take a medicine! You go down in one bite!"
Xiao Jingxi twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Ren Yaoqi, who turned his head away while holding back a smile.
Xiao Jinglin didn't care whether it was a question of whether he wanted to drink the medicine or not, but a question of being rude or not.
Knowing Xiao Jinglin's stubborn temper, Xiao Jingxi took the medicine bowl and slowly drank it.
Xiao Jinglin took the empty bowl and put it back on the tray. She turned around as if she had remembered something. She didn't know where she found a small paper package and put it on the table: "Pine Nut Candy." , and went straight away.
Xiao Jingxi looked at the bag of sugar in front of him and was speechless for a while.
Looking up and seeing the curvature of Ren Yaoqi's mouth, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Instead, he untied the bag of candy generously and handed it to Ren Yaoqi: "Don't take offense, Jing Lin was sent to Jiajing Pass when she was very young, and she hasn't come back for many years."
In Xiao Jinglin's eyes, Xiao Jingxi was still the same as she was many years ago, but her younger sister became her older sister instead. The brothers and sisters have been together for many years, and Xiao Jinglin also wanted to have a good relationship with Xiao Jingxi, so she came to Bailong Temple from Yunyang City.
It's just that she has been in the army all the year round, and she has little contact with women except for a few valet around her, so she lacks the delicacy of ordinary women.
Instead, Ren Yaoqi was at a loss for words. She took a small piece of pine nut candy and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly.
Xiao Jingxi put the pine nut candy in front of Ren Yaoqi, but he didn't eat it.
Just being interrupted by Xiao Jinglin, Ren Yaoqi suddenly felt that Xiao Jingxi was kinder.
Of course, Xiao Jingxi has always been approachable, gentle and tolerant. However, Ren Yaoqi still felt that Xiao Jingxi was a bit like a flower in a mirror, like the moon in the water. Although it was so beautiful that people couldn't help admiring it, it always lacked some flesh-and-blood reality.
There was a wind blowing, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted over. No wonder the last time I met him, he also smelled of medicine.
However, Xiao Jingxi has a charm that can make others ignore the fact that he is not in good health in the process of contacting him, only to be dumped by his demeanor.
Ren Yaoqi almost forgot that Xiao Jingxi was a patient. Because the aura of the controller on him is too strong.
At this time, another sound came from the backyard.
Ren Yaoqi raised his eyes, just in time to see a tall man jumping over here.
Ren Yaoqi blinked, and after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, it was Zhu Ruomei...
Zhu Ruomei couldn't walk normally because of the broken shin of one foot. His hands were supported on a triangular bracket of a copper basin, and the brackets were used instead of crutches.
Maybe it was because he was in a hurry to get out. His hair was tied up carelessly with a rope pulled from somewhere. His face was covered in sweat, but he "walked" very fast.
Xiao Jingxi also followed Ren Yaoqi's gaze, but at a glance he turned back and smiled lightly: "Don't you want your legs anymore?" It sounded like a joke, but it made people uncomfortable. Dare to speak.
Following Zhu Ruomei were Xiao Jingxi's two servants. They seemed to want to hold him, but they were always avoided by him somehow. It is obviously injured, but his skills are very sensitive, and he does not appear clumsy at all.
Zhu Ruomei "jumped over" very quickly. Ren Yaoqi found that his face and neck were covered in sweat, and even the front of his clothes was wet, which must have been extremely uncomfortable.
"If you don't recover well, what are you doing out of here?" Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning and rebuked softly.
Although Zhu Ruomei broke out in cold sweat from the pain, she still grinned, although she looked a little hideous: "It's just a broken bone, it's not a big problem. I'm worried about you."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi as if he had never heard of it, and only looked down at Xiao Jingxi who was picking up the chess pieces, and sighed softly: "You should take good care of your injuries first, and I will send someone to report your family's safety."
"Thank you fifth miss." Zhu Ruomei said, "I've caused you trouble."
Zhu Ruomei sincerely apologized. He just heard that the servant named Tongxi said that when the fifth Miss Ren came over, he knew that Miss Ren was definitely here because of his business, so he hurried over, for fear that she was in the Xiao family. Difficulty in front of the second son.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I didn't do anything, but the Yuan family spent a lot of time trying to find you."
The two chatted for a while, and Ren Yaoqi saw that Zhu Ruomei's face was a little pale, so he said to him warmly: "I'll go back in a while, you'd better go back and rest."
Zhu Ruomei nodded in agreement, but she didn't leave. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Fifth, this time it was the Second Young Master Xiao who saved me. He wanted me to stay by his side for ten years and work for him. I... "
It turns out that Xiao Jingxi has already told Zhu Ruomei? Zhu Ruomei has no intention of unwillingness.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi and said with a smile to Zhu Ruomei: "I said before that you and my Ren family have nothing to do with each other. Since you can be appreciated by Second Young Master Xiao, wait for you. I will do my best for him from now on.”
