Ye Li looked at Li Yizhi in a daze, thought he was motion sick, reached out and patted his back lightly, Li Yizhi woke up from the dream.

Ye Li said: "Are you feeling unwell, would it be better to open the window?"

Li Yizhi nodded perfunctorily, and rolled open the window on one side. There were many cars on the road, and Chen Jing's car had been driving for a long time.

Ye Li is also half-competing and half-tourist in Nanjing, and has no fixed residence. The place he stays in is a hotel, which is expensive at first sight.

Either Li Yizhi is a person who has never seen the world, or because he has attended competitions all over the country in his previous life, he has seen the world too much, so it is a bit embarrassing to look at the hotel. Li Zhen used the best everything to treat his eyes, and there is not much money left. Well, although the chess club is profitable and has income, it is not too much, and it is enough to maintain life. How can I have the money to live in such a high-end hotel, and I have to stay until the end of the game.

Ye Li pulled the luggage for him, and pulled his wrist with the other hand, saying: "Let's go, don't be dazed, you must be too tired on the train, go in and rest first, let's eat something delicious in the afternoon."

In fact, Ye Li only had a heartless personality on the surface, and he understood Li Yizhi's thoughts in an instant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is the hotel provided by the organizer of this competition, and it will not cost money to stay until the end of the competition. "

Li Yizhi was dubious, but it wasn't that he didn't believe Ye Li, he had participated in too many competitions, but how could such a pie fall in the sky for nothing.

As soon as the two of them entered the gate, a guard came to help carry their luggage. Ye Li reported the room number, and the service staff respectfully invited the two to go upstairs.

The elevator is sightseeing. Li Yizhi's room is on the innermost floor on the eighth floor, next to a staircase. The stairs are generally not used, and the innermost room is quite quiet.

The service staff took the luggage in and said thoughtfully that if you have any problems, you can call the internal number to the front desk, and then took it to the door and left.

The room is a suite, the outside is the living room, the TV and sofa are all equipped, the large French windows are still a view room, there is only one bedroom inside, and the bathroom is next to it. It looks very luxurious and the area is not small.

Ye Li turned around and said, "Your room is the same as mine. I live next door to you. You must rest first. You must not have slept well on the train. When you wake up, knock on my door. Let's go out." Eat something delicious."

Li Yizhi nodded. It was really tiring to ride the train alone. The old-fashioned train hadn't accelerated yet, and it drove very slowly. One day and one night, you couldn't close your eyes at night. After all, if a person fell asleep, he was afraid of losing things.

What exhausted him the most was not taking the train, but passing by Chen Jing.

This made Li Yizhi very regretful, but if he didn't pass by, but walked towards him, Li Yizhi didn't know what to do, after all, he didn't know if the other party still remembered his so-called "master".

Li Yizhi packed his luggage, lay on the bed and prepared to take a nap for a while, he soon fell asleep, had a dream, dreamed of Chen Jing.

The year when Chen Jing played chess with him, he seemed very young. A reporter interviewed him afterwards, and he seemed to be only 23 or [-] years old. After this battle, Chen Jing quickly emerged and became a chess master.

Li Yizhi dreamed of the chess game they played again, the dream was very illusory, he dreamed of the chess game, and suddenly dreamed of the forum, the little apprentice was wearing a Tianyuan Dandan vest, and suddenly told him that he was Chen Jing.

When Li Yizhi woke up from his dream, the sky was a bit dark, he looked sideways at the gap between the curtains, and sighed.

Li Yizhi got off the bed, dragged the suitcase out of the cabinet, and opened the suitcase. In addition to the change of clothes, there was naturally Go, and the pair of emerald chess jars left by Chen Jing back then.

He put the chess jar on the table and stared at it for a long time.

After sleeping for a long time, Li Yizhi went to take a shower, changed clothes, and washed off the fatigue from the train ride, then put his wallet in his pocket and prepared to go to find Ye Li.

Li Yizhi went out the door, the door next door was open, Li Yizhi knocked twice, but no one answered, and it is not known whether Ye Li went out, carelessly forgot to close the door, or did not hear it inside.

Li Yizhi thought for a while, then opened the door and walked in. There was no one in the living room and bedroom, so Li Yizhi walked out. He wanted to go back to the room and wait a while, but he just touched the doorknob when he suddenly heard a sound in the corridor.

Out of curiosity, I walked in and took a look. The corridor was very dark, and I just went down a few steps when I saw someone there at the corner.

Li Yizhi saw the back of a black suit. The man was tall and tall, with his back turned to him. He paused for a moment, blushing for a moment. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could tell from the sound that this shallow moan and ambiguous sound of water, The man must be kissing another person, who is smaller than him and is hidden from view.

Li Yizhi was a little panicked. It would be embarrassing for both parties to be bumped into this kind of thing. He wanted to turn around and leave quickly, but he heard the man hiss and said in a hoarse voice, "Have all your teeth grown? Start biting."

The other party laughed lightly, his voice was a little low, but he heard it clearly, "It's not the first time to bite you."

Li Yizhi was stunned for a moment, the second person who spoke was Ye Li, but at this time Ye Li was short of breath.

Li Yizhi couldn't help turning his head and took another look. It was indeed Ye Li, and he could vaguely see the white sportswear.

He never thought that Ye Li would be with a man, but he himself was, of course he wouldn't hate it, but he was really surprised.

The man smiled, his voice was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember how familiar he was with Li Yizhi, so the man said immediately: "I'm fine tonight, I'll go find you."

Ye Li snorted, and said: "Don't come, you are fine, I don't have time, I want to accompany my friends to eat delicious food."

The man paused for a moment, then said in a solemn voice, "Male or female?"

Ye Li laughed even more, "Both men and women are not safe, but let me tell you, it's a man, I'm a child, I haven't seen him for many years, and his parents are more handsome than you... Ah! Mo Chongyuan, don't you?" ...Your uncle! Well..."

Hearing the panting of the two, Li Yizhi couldn't help but get hot, and quickly retracted his head. He didn't expect that the other party was Mo Chongyuan.

He still has an impression of Mo Chongyuan. The chess club at Hutongkou was lost to him by Mo Chongyuan. In his previous life, Mo Chongyuan was also highly respected in the chess world. He is not only a professional chess player, but also a businessman. He has held many Go games contest.

Mo Chongyuan funded and sponsored this China-Korea match, so Ye Li said that he could stay here until the end of the match, probably because of this reason.

Li Yizhi went back to the house and closed the door. He sat on the sofa and his face was still hot. Although he would not look down on men and men, he had no experience in this field in his previous life. He played Go all day long, and his family did not know about him before. As for sexual orientation, I haven't had extensive contact with it, so I haven't thought about it.

He raised his head and leaned against the back of the sofa, his heart beating violently. Fortunately, he was not noticed, otherwise, with Ye Li's personality, he would be more embarrassed.

Li Yizhi was thinking this way, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of Chen Jing, the way the two of them passed each other across the vehicle a few hours ago.

Chen Jing is very young, maybe only 20 years old at this time, but he already looks very capable, no different from the 23-year-old when he met in the competition. His sharp-edged face is full of indifference and indifference, and his focused appearance is indeed very attractive.

Li Yizhi stood up abruptly from the sofa, pushed open the bathroom door, rushed in, turned on the faucet, took two handfuls of cold water, and splashed it on his face vigorously.

After washing his face, the wet water stains slid off his face, Li Yizhi found a towel to wipe it off, and only then did he feel that he woke up...

Li Yizhi went back to the bedroom and played with the emerald chess pot boringly. It took an hour and a half before he stood up and went out again.

The door next door was closed this time, Li Yizhi heaved a sigh of relief, apparently Ye Li had returned.

He cleared his throat, and then knocked on the door twice.

There were footsteps coming from inside, and the door opened after a while, Ye Li changed into a dress, because of the hot weather, he was wearing a collarless one, which made Li Yizhi feel extremely embarrassed.

There is a little redness on Ye Li's collarbone. Although Li Yizhi has no experience in this field, he is not an ignorant child after all. He naturally understands what it is. Ye Li may not have noticed it himself, so he is not afraid to open it carelessly. discovered by others.

Ye Li looked at him and said with a smile: "Are you awake? Sure enough, you are much more energetic than before!" He patted him on the shoulder as he spoke.

The two of them went downstairs, and Ye Li was not idle in the elevator, telling him like a chatterbox, what delicious food is there in Nanjing, taking him to eat at roadside stalls, and shopping at night markets, saying that big restaurants are like that. , only roadside stalls are the essence.

On the first floor, the guard saw that someone was about to go out, so he opened the door thoughtfully. Li Yi stepped out, but Ye Li stood still.

Li Yizhi followed his gaze and saw that there were high-end restaurants and coffee shops on the first floor of the hotel. Although it was still early, there were already people sitting there.

Surprisingly, it was Mo Chongyuan who just ran into him. Mo Chongyuan and a woman were sitting against the glass wall, Ye Li happened to be able to see them.

Li Yizhi looked at Ye Li with unkind eyes. After all, he is an outsider, so he can't say anything, and if the man he likes eats with other women, he won't feel comfortable either.

Ye Li seemed to change his strategy in an instant, and smiled at Li Yizhi: "Ah, I remembered, the food here is also good. You just got off the plane today, so we won't go that far. It's the same when we go out tomorrow."

As Ye Li said, he took Li Yizhi's hand and walked into the restaurant.

Li Yizhi shook his head helplessly, Ye Li was about the same age as him, and was almost 30 years old, yet he was still so childish and so obvious.

When the two of them entered the restaurant, Mo Chongyuan, who had a decent smile on his face, suddenly paused. He had obviously seen Ye Li, and he saw Ye Li holding Li Yi's hand.

Mo Chongyuan took a look at Li Yizhi, and he soon understood. He still remembered the blind man in the courtyard. Back then, Mo Chongyuan was not yet an adult, and he boasted that he had a good sense of chess. He thought that even if he didn't work hard, he would become a great professional chess player. hand.

Back then, he was too young to capsize in front of a blind man. It was also because of that incident that Mo Chongyuan realized that he didn't like playing chess at all. Compared with playing chess, he preferred the twists and turns in the business circle.

Li Yizhi and Ye Li sat down next to them, the provocation was naturally very obvious, Ye Li ordered a large table of delicious food, Li Yizhi's brows twitched at the viciousness, the waiter kindly reminded Ye Li that although the dishes are not big, But it was enough for two people, and Ye Li gave him a supercilious look...

Ye Li ate the meal in a daze, the taste of the food was good, it was indeed at the level of a big hotel, but Li Yizhi's food was quite good.

Mo Chongyuan and that woman had been chatting very happily, but the smile was only out of the corner of their eyes, and it was obvious that they were business partners.

When Ye Li was struggling to break off the crab legs, Mo Chongyuan and the woman finally finished eating. Mo Chongyuan got up and picked up the woman's coat and put it on for her. Then he opened the glass door and sent the woman off. go out.

Ye Li bit the crab hard, making Li Yizhi feel helpless, "Be careful grinding your teeth."

To be honest, Li Yizhi envied Ye Li, he liked it so obviously, so unscrupulously, he had never experienced any liking back then.

Mo Chongyuan quickly opened the door and came in again, walked over under Ye Li's "vicious" gaze, pulled out the chair and sat next to Ye Li.

But he said to Li Yizhi with a commercial smile on his face: "Mr. Li, it's been a long time."

He extended his hand while speaking, Li Yizhi shook his hand out of politeness.

Ye Li wondered why the two of them knew each other.

Mo Chongyuan said: "How is Mr. Li's eyes? Did you go for reexamination on time?"

Li Yizhi nodded, feeling a little puzzled in his heart. It should be strange for ordinary people to see their eyes recover, instead of asking whether they have had a reexamination. Could it be that Mo Chongyuan was the person who contacted the doctor for him to find the cornea?

Mo Chongyuan saw Li Yizhi's strangeness, and said: "That's good, Momou is also entrusted by others, so I can rest assured that Mr. Li can recover Momou."

Ye Li looked at his profession and smiled and "hummed", and said disdainfully, "It's a big petal of garlic."

Mo Chongyuan was not angry, looked at Ye Li and smiled, then held up his hand suddenly, "It's broken."

Ye Li looked down, he didn't know when he was bleeding from being pierced by a crab leg, but the next moment he yelled "Ah!", and Mo Chongyuan actually put his finger in his mouth and sucked it in front of Li Yizhi .

The ambiguous picture and sound made Li Yizhi not know where to put his eyes, and he really regretted that his eyes were restored.

It can be seen that although Mo Chongyuan has always put on an indifferent and easy-going appearance, this action is undoubtedly announcing the ownership of Ye Li like Li Yizhi, and he is also a possessive and domineering person.

Li Yizhi felt that he was quite innocent and was completely implicated by Ye Li, but was considered provocative instead.

Ye Li jumped up, the other one was holding a crab, his fingers seemed to be on fire, and he yelled, "Master Mo Chongyuan!"

After yelling, he felt ashamed again, sat down grayly, and almost buried his head in the plate.

In order to vent his anger, Ye Li added five big crabs, and after eating, he waved his hand, "Sign the bill!"

The waiter smiled sweetly and said, "Sign the bill? Yes sir, it has been credited to your account."

Mo Chongyuan couldn't help but twitch his forehead at this time...

After dinner, Mo Chongyuan said: "There is a special Go room on the [-]th floor of the hotel, which is prepared for competitions. Would Mr. Li want to play a game?"

According to Li Yizhi's memory, Mo Chongyuan is probably at the fifth-dan professional level at this time. Li Yizhi is preparing for the competition recently, and it would be a good thing to experience more chess styles, so he nodded in agreement.

Mo Chongyuan smiled and said, "I haven't played Go for many years."

Li Yizhi was a little surprised, Ye Li squinted and said, "You can even play chess? I thought you only drank and talked about business."

"It happened many years ago. Back then, I didn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. Ever since I played against Teacher Li, I didn't dare to play again."

What the businessman said was always half-truth and half-false, and Li Yizhi also half-believed it.

The three of them took the elevator up to the [-]th floor. The Go room was prepared for competitions. Naturally, the conditions are very good. The door is open and the inside is very bright. The floor-to-ceiling windows are very bright during the day. There are small tables and big chairs in the middle, and the referee's seat next to it. .

Mo Chongyuan asked Li Yizhi to sit first, and he opened the chair next to Ye Li for Ye Li. Ye Li sat down satisfied, and Mo Chongyuan sat opposite Li Yizhi.

Just like what Mo Chongyuan said, he hasn't played chess for many years. This is not deceitful, it is not modest, and Li Yizhi felt it not long after the start.

Li Yizhi asked himself that he hadn't completely regained the chess sense of his previous generation, and it was impossible to rush from the bottom to the top, but in this state, it was easy to beat Mo Chongyuan.

Li Yizhi didn't expect this to be the case. It stands to reason that Mo Chongyuan should be at the fifth stage of his career, and he is on par with Ye Li. If Ye Li doesn't make major mistakes and concentrates, it will be difficult for Li Yizhi to beat him.

The chess game ended quickly, and it only took an hour in total. The result was obvious, and there was no need to bother counting the pieces.

Mo Chongyuan leaned on the chair, took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it in his hand but didn't smoke, it seemed that Ye Li didn't like the smell of cigarettes, Mo Chongyuan broke the cigarette and threw it on the table.

He smiled and said: "Mr. Li's chess style is more sensitive. The sound insulation facilities here are very good. If you are afraid of being disturbed, Mr. Li and Xiao Ran can play chess here on weekdays. Until the start of the game, this place will be idle."

Ye Li is quite satisfied with the environment here. At noon, the floor-to-ceiling windows will definitely let in a lot of sunlight. He likes the feeling of sunlight shining on the chessboard. Maybe it's because he didn't have many memories in his childhood, but now he prefers brighter ones.

It was already dark, and Ye Li was going to take Li Yizhi to the night market.

Mo Chongyuan sent them out, but didn't go with them. He watched them go, so he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

The other party hung up after three rings, and Mo Chongyuan was not in a hurry, ordered a cup of coffee and sat in the hall waiting slowly.

After more than ten minutes, the phone rang, and Mo Chongyuan answered it.

A man's voice came from the phone, "Is there a business problem in Shanghai?"

"No, I have already arrived in Nanjing this morning."

"..." The other party paused for a while, and said in a somewhat impatient voice: "Don't be fooled, I'll hang up if I have nothing to do, and there will be a meeting soon."

Mo Chongyuan couldn't help laughing, "Your good master has arrived in Nanjing."

The other party replied quickly this time, "Where is it?"

"The hotel at the stadium, do you want to come?"

The other end of the phone didn't answer directly, but said, "I'm in a meeting, I need to call my assistant."

He hung up when he was done.
