Chapter 40 He's Testing Me
Xie Yan has always been a man of few words. In the past, when I was young, I used to count all the words he said in a day out of fun. Later, I was horrified to find that there were no more than ten sentences.
And the expression that often hangs on his face is very much like the ice that clings to the eaves of the tiles in winter. It looks clean and clear, and you can still see the shadow of the bright sunlight, but once you touch it, you will feel that it is colder than snow.
There was a biting chill in my heart.
But now he is looking at me like this, his slightly raised phoenix eyes are clear and clear, and the waves in his eyes seem to contain the warm current of melting winter snow, like a trickling river in a summer night.
He was wearing a plain white robe with a slightly open collar. The pale skin on his neck showed blue-green blood vessels. He was weak and thin. The wide cuffs were embroidered with a proud white crane. Just standing there, he seemed to be graceful.
He has become an immortal, and the clear smile in his gray eyes is more like the crane's favor for a mortal.
I didn’t want to be seduced by this person’s good looks, but I still couldn’t suppress my frantic heartbeat. I could only sigh in my heart. No wonder there have been so many fatuous emperors who were misled by beauty throughout the ages. Now I can understand them.
It’s painful.
To me, Xie Yan is not only a poisonous poppy in his mouth, but also Daji, who brings trouble to the imperial court and is as cold as ice. Today, his eyebrows are just a little slow, but his brilliance is as bright as a cold narcissus in full bloom, and his fragrance is fragrant.
, proud and proud.
When my eyes met with his, I almost looked away as if his gaze was burning me, and turned slightly sideways. I could only think of my father in my heart. I can no longer be bewitched by Xie Yan's beauty. I still have
How can you be so confused when your father's revenge has not been avenged!
Moreover, I thought that my nightly/dissolute words and deeds would scare Xie Yan away, but now it seems that is not the case. Just Xie Yan's attitude towards me today is like a fog.
confusing.
What does he think of me now? The lonely look before is still vivid in my mind. He has clearly told me that he admitted the wrong person, so why does he still defend me like this?
The way he looked at me clearly didn't look like he was looking at me, but more like he was looking at someone's shadow through me. Could it be that he still regarded me as Feng Yueyue and wanted to compensate me with guilt, even for this?
Are you so ashamed that you don't hesitate to offend those powerful officials?
Now, even though I have Qiu Yunqing's unparalleled intellect, I still know nothing about love. I can't figure out what Xie Yan is thinking in his heart, and I don't even know his intention of doing these useless things today. If he is doing it for
Maintaining an upright and upright image in front of everyone is also contrary to his nature of seeking fame and reputation.
"The remaining people will play against me one by one," Xie Yan's words sounded slowly behind me, pulling my thoughts back, "The winner will stay."
The incident that just happened came to a brief end as soon as Xie Yan finished his words. When I was just thinking about it, I had thought that he would appoint me as his attendant for personal gain. Now I just feel hot in the face and feel that I am very nervous.
Self-motivated.
Many people have been filtered out from the previous selections. At this time, there are only a few dozen people left in the room. The current situation is that everyone is surrounding the chess table in the middle, quietly watching Xie Yan compete with each other on the chess board.
Young Master's game of chess.
When I was an attendant at the Prince's Mansion, I used to be keen on inquiring about Xie Yan's various gossips, and I also inquired about Xie Yan's chess skills.
After hearing my question, the chess master who was teaching me at that time stroked his gray beard, let out a long sigh, and said with emotion, "His chess skills are still unmatched by His Royal Highness, and he can be called the best in the Jiang Kingdom."
Man, he has had enough of the suffering of being cold at this high place."
I didn't take these words seriously at the time. I just felt that my chess master liked to brag so much despite his age. Xie Yan wasn't that good when he played against me. At most, he was a little better than me.
But now that I am standing aside and watching the chess game, I realize that my chess master did not lie to me at that time.
Originally, a one-on-one game should last for a long time, but playing against Xie Yan, it was obviously not the case. Those noble gentlemen were defeated before they could hold out for a quarter of an hour. Their faces were as pale as vegetables, their expressions were panic-stricken, and their fingertips were still trembling slightly.
, obviously being killed mercilessly by Xie Yan.
Xie Yan is always very focused and serious when playing chess. His long eyelashes droop down to cover his cold and shallow pupils. His long and cold white fingers are as clear-cut as straight green bamboos. He is holding a white jade chess piece and his complexion is paler than Leng Jade.
A few points, released casually, is the power to break the army.
I still remember the days when I hung out with him. He really liked to urge me to play chess, and he would hone my chess skills every day. But his chess skills were far superior to mine, so when the game started, I didn’t know how to move a few moves.
Defeated.
Once this happened more than once, I felt that it was quite boring, so I yelled "I won't play anymore", "It's boring", "I'll lose after just two moves", while complaining, I went to grind for him and quickly avoided him falling on me.
The burning sight behind you.
At that time, I even made up my mind that I would never play chess with him again. This chess game really makes people lose any confidence in playing chess. I am clearly not a fool, but when I play chess with Xie Yan, I feel like I am lacking in intelligence.
Feeling of embarrassment.
Later, on the second day, after Xie Yan finished handling official duties, he still set up the chessboard waiting for me. I refused to serve, so he threatened me with cold eyes, but promised me, "I won't do it again."
Bully you."
Humph, he finally admitted that he deliberately bullied me a few days ago. I'm not stupid. Every time he killed me in a split second, which made me burst into tears.
He just looked at me indifferently, the ends of his eyes were raised, and even the corners of his lips were slightly curved. I knew then that he was deliberately bullying me. Now that he has admitted it, I forgave him with great mercy.
Play chess with him again.
The reason why I think Xie Yan's chess skills are not as mysterious as the chess master said is because when we played chess later, he didn't strangle me quickly. Instead, he played with me like a cat, prolonging the time, so from my perspective
, his skills are only a little bit higher than mine, so he can wrestle with me for a long time.
There were even times when I won, even though the means were not very honorable, but I won with disgrace.
Later, after I had a close relationship with him, our relationship became more and more intimate, and my face became thicker and thicker. I used all kinds of cheating tricks in an endless stream. When I played chess with him, I was very dishonest. Every time I walked a few steps
You have to regret every move you make.
Personally, I don’t want to be such a rogue, but every time I take a step, the next moment I say thank you, I will immediately feel that I have taken the wrong step, and I can only yell, "This does not count, I have taken the wrong step, I want to do this
Let's go." He even boldly moved Xie Yan's chess piece away and changed the position of his own chess piece.
At this time, Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at me meaningfully, "Have you thought about it?"
"Well, I've thought about it, and I won't regret it anymore."
I said it with all my heart, but the next second, as soon as Xie Yan's chess piece fell, I started to scream again, trying to get the black piece back with all my teeth and claws, shouting, "Oh, I made a mistake, it's the last time, really
It’s the last time.”
But usually Xie Yan wouldn't allow me to break the rules at this time. His cold fingertips grabbed my cheating hand, his deep eyes fell on my slightly opened lips, and he leaned forward, his breath falling on my eyelashes.
It makes me feel itchy in my heart.
His voice was a little hoarse, and he slowly said, "If you regret your chess once, what will you give in exchange?"
In the end, I was kissed until my breath became confused, the ends of my eyes were slightly red, and small tears came out of my eyes.
Now that I think about it, this person who later liked to restrain me from playing chess had another agenda, but I didn't understand it at the time.
Those gentlemen were all frightened by Xie Yan on the chess table, with expressions of admiration and sorrow on their faces, while Xie Yan raised his head and looked at me, his thin lips slightly raised, "It's your turn."
I just woke up from a dream and pulled away from the past, and looked at the formations on the chess table, but my pupils suddenly shrank.
I have seen the chess game on this table more than once, and I am so familiar with it that I can almost recite the moves that break the game. This is an exquisite chess game created by Xie Yan. It was widely circulated on Jiang Guo's chess records earlier, but no one can
break.
But I am well versed in how to break the situation. No, to be precise, Feng Jiuyue once knew the method of breaking the situation very well.
In the past, Xie Yan had some strange problem. He always treated me as a pet to relieve his boredom. He seemed to be unable to leave me for a moment. He insisted on me writing beside him when he was working, and when he was free, he forced me to play chess with him.
He likes to study chess games in his free time after handling official duties. When I see these things, I want to yawn and have no intention of playing chess with him, but he just won't let me go and insists on keeping me in his arms.
His slightly cold body temperature pressed against my back. I yawned sleepily, with tears at the end of my eyes, but I had to work hard to listen to him describe the subtleties of various chess games.
This exquisite chess game is the result of half a month of study. He explained the disassembly method to me in detail, and he kissed me on the top of my hair from time to time.
But why did Xie Yan choose this chess game?
There are tens of thousands of chess games in the world, and there are dozens of them that he just played with others. None of them overlap with the past, but why did he choose this one for me? When I thought about this, I couldn't help but look at him.
The look on the face.
He lazily raised his eyelids and looked at me leisurely. The corners of his originally cold and straight lips were slightly raised, the ends of his narrow eyes were slightly raised, and his light-colored pupils were like two bright glass beads, looking like a fox.
of cunning.
