After rebirth, I was hugged and kissed by a crazy boss

Chess and card club.

A trace of silence flashed across Yan Qing's eyes, and he looked at Lu Ziyu who was standing by the door with a half-smile:

"As expected of the future student union president, you are really efficient."

Even a blind person could hear the sarcasm in her words.

Sure enough, Lu Ziyu pursed his lips, lowered his head with a sad look, and did not dare to look directly into Yan Qing's eyes.

"Senior, I..."

No wonder Yan Qing was unhappy.

She originally thought that Lu Ziyu asked her to come to the chess and card club in a roundabout way so that she would be reminded of her past by the sight of the things there...but she never expected that she would meet the long-lost Tan Xuan here!

Good job, Lu Yu, so this is what you were thinking!

Yan Qing felt that he had been tricked.

She first rolled her eyes at Lu Ziyu, then turned to Tan Xuan, her voice calm and indifferent.

"Long time no see, Coach Tan."

Deng Huai walked in quietly and finally met this legendary coach.

He looked at Tan Shun inconspicuously.

Just like the photos on the Internet, he is about 45 years old, his hair is a little gray, but he looks very neat.

There were thick lenses on his nose, and behind them were a pair of eyes with clear black and white, as sharp as an eagle.

"Qingqing, long time no see."

Tan Jun raised one hand and waved as a greeting.

"What do you want?"

Yan Qing was a little impatient and asked straight to the point,

"I am taking my little sister out today and I have to go back in the evening—"

Wow.

Tan Xuan grabbed a handful of black coins from the jar beside him and looked up at Yan Qing:

"Guess, is it odd or even?"

Guessing odd or even is a common amateur lottery method used to determine who goes first.

The rules are also very simple. As long as you guess whether the chess piece in his hand is odd or even, you can play the black piece first and gain the initiative.

If you guess wrong, you will play as the white piece.

Tan Xuan's intention was very clear, he planned to compete with Yan Qing.

But the latter didn't want to take up the conversation.

"I won't guess."

Yan Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and he stood there motionless.

"Uncle Tan, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little unbearable.

Lu Ziyu gritted his teeth and added some hot water to Tan Xuan's cup, and poured a new cup for Yan Qing.

"Senior, sit down and have a glass of water."

Yan Qing ignored him and let Lu Ziyu's hand holding the paper cup remain in the air.

In the end, he had no choice but to put it down awkwardly.

"Qingqing has grown up, and she doesn't want to play chess with Uncle Tan anymore?"

Tan Shun smiled, not seeming to feel embarrassed at all.

“It wasn’t like this before.”

Yan Qing took a deep breath, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

She had been hanging out in the chess and card club of University A since she was a child, and before Tan Jun became the head coach of Xuansu Chess Club, he was the instructor of the Go Club of University A.

The two of them are quite familiar with each other.

Although Yan Qing was taught Go by Yan Sichen, Tan Xuan also has an undeniable contribution to her current accomplishments - after all, Yan Sichen also has teaching and scientific research tasks, and will not always have time to play Go with his daughter.

Under such circumstances, the chess and card club's instructor Tan Jun became the sparring partner.

Yan Qing had witnessed that he had led the chess players of University A to win the national championship several times.

Later, he worked at the Xuansu Chess Club, where he reached the pinnacle of success and received many honors.

Many neighboring countries wanted to recruit him with large sums of money, but they were all rejected by Tan Xuan.

The reason is very simple - he is Chinese and Go is Chinese.

"Play a game with me." Tan Jun spoke again. He gently picked up a black piece and placed it on the chessboard. "Just think of it as practicing with your uncle."

Yan Qing's eyes fell on the chessboard. After thinking for a moment, she sat down.

The game of chess begins, with black and white pieces falling alternately.

Tan Shun's moves are swift and seemingly random, but in fact, he is careful and calculated;

But Yan Qing was calm and composed, and every move he made was carefully considered.

The situation on the plate became increasingly tense. Yan Qing frowned slightly as she realized that she had met her match.

Tan Xuan looked relaxed, as if everything was under his control.

"It seems that I am still as good as ever." Tan Jun said with a smile.

At this moment, Yan Qing made a crucial move and the situation was reversed instantly.

She raised her head, a gleam of confidence in her eyes.

Tan Xuan was slightly surprised, but soon regained his smile, "Yes, the disciple is better than the master."

At the end of the game, Yan Qing won with a slight advantage.

She stood up and looked at Tan Xuan, "Now, can we speak frankly?"

Tan Shun lowered his eyes, slowly gathered the chess pieces on the chessboard into two piles with his hands, and spoke slowly:

"This time, Uncle Tan underestimated his opponent. Unexpectedly, Qingqing's chess skills not only did not decline, but improved a lot."

Yan Qing couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, his tone was a little cold.

"Uncle Tan, you said that my chess skills have improved a lot. When was the comparison made?"

"When you were sixteen, you made it to the semi-finals in your first competition. It was a very memorable experience."

Tan Falcon said softly,

"I was expecting you to win the Yixin Cup and play for the Xuansu Chess Club in the future... But your father refused to let you participate, so I had to give up."

Deng Huai suddenly realized.

As smart as he was, he immediately figured out the cause and effect of the matter, as well as Yun Yue's "old man waiting" tactic which seemed to have a lot of loopholes.

The reason why the Yun family was certain that Yan Qing could not win was because she was a minor when she participated in the competition!

The Yixin Cup is a competition for adults.

Even if Yan Qing beats Yun Yue, the latter can still report her as not qualified to participate.

Then the problem comes again...

Even if Tan Xuan knew Yan Sichen and Yan Qing, he couldn't openly help her cheat in such a competition.

Yan Qing, how did you get to participate in the competition?

"Don't you have any idea why my father won't let me participate in the competition?"

Yan Qing said without hesitation, word by word:

"Because Shaoyu and I, neither of us can swim."

This sentence is really a poke in the lungs.

Sure enough, when he heard Ren Shaoyu's name, Tan Xuan's expression changed slightly, and his eyes showed regret.

"It's a pity for Shaoyu. He is very talented and willing to work hard... Maybe if he waits another two years, he can join the Xuansu Chess Club and win glory for the country."

Ren Shaoyu, four years older than Yan Qing, is a student at University A and a member of the chess and card club.

He was also the player who committed suicide by jumping into the sea on the eve of the Yi Xin Cup final.

It is known that Yan Qing was sixteen years old when she participated in the competition. Even if she won the championship, she could not enter the Xuansu Chess Club. In fact, she was just too competitive at the time and couldn't wait to compete with older chess players.

In Yan Qing's opinion, Ren Shaoyu is one of the few people who can be called an opponent.

After he was admitted to University A, he joined the Go Club and became a good friend of Yan Qing.

Although there are many hidden talents in the A University chess and card club, there are not many who can play against Yan Qing.

Ren Shaoyu was an opponent that made her very satisfied.

As the saying goes, when you meet a good friend, a thousand cups are not enough.

Hearing that Ren Shaoyu was planning to participate in the Yixin Cup, Yan Qing also became interested.

The two agreed to meet in the finals.

At that time, Yan Qing had already made an appointment with Ren Shaoyu.

Anyway, she is under 18 years old, so winning is useless, and it would not look good to give up...

Therefore, the two decided to play a best-of-five game, with them winning two out of three.

Whoever wins two of the first three games will be considered the winner.

As for the following games, just let them go.

However, unexpectedly, Yan Qing fell in the semi-finals;

Ren Shaoyu was even more miserable, he died suddenly on the physical level.

"so what?"

Yan Qing herself didn't realize that her eyes were cold, but she was still shrugging as if nothing had happened.

"My father has passed away. Do you think that I can participate in the competition without distraction without anyone stopping me? Play for the Xuansu Chess Club?"
