It is late April, and it is not long before the English CET-4 exam. This weekend, Zhao Daokai came to Li Xiangping's apartment:

"Oh, Li Daqisheng, what are you doing?"

"I'm climbing over the wall."

"Come over the wall? Damn, even a poor student like you, you will actually overtake the wall."

"That's right," Li Xiangping said proudly: "I listened to the advice of experts. I heard that if I want to learn a foreign language well, it is best to communicate more with foreigners, so I helped me climb over the wall and found several foreign websites. I was watching people chatting on it."

"Let me see, let me see..." Zhao Daokai leaned over to Li Xiangping's computer:

"Oh, it's really a foreign forum. Hey, what are they talking about? Haha, talking about next year's Olympics, I said Li Daqisheng, with your foreign language proficiency, can you communicate with others?"

Li Xiangping's face was a little unhooked: "Isn't this watching? I can still understand it."

"Well, others can understand a little bit, but if you want to go up and brag and chat by yourself, that level is not enough, right?"

Li Xiangping's face became darker, thinking that this guy really couldn't speak. It's been more than ten years of friendship, so is it necessary to tell such a big truth?

Fortunately, Zhao Daokai's attention was diverted at this time. When he saw someone talking about the Olympics next year, he suddenly said, "By the way, I heard that you have been selected as the torchbearer for the Olympics, right? When will you pass the torch?"

When Li Xiangping heard this, he was proud: He said with great pride:

"That's right, you don't even look at who your buddy is. Isn't it normal to be elected as a torchbearer?"

"cut!"

Li Xiangping could hear it, and Zhao Daokai was obviously a little envious and jealous:

"You are not the one who lit the torch at the opening ceremony, just a torch relay. I really don't know what you are."

"Ha! Am I proud? Which eye of your eyes is so proud..."

"Oh, Li Daqisheng, look, this guy is attacking China. What website are you on?"

"Ah!, I'll take a look..."

The two of them were diverted again, and they both noticed the chat of several foreigners online. This was a foreign forum. What they talked about before was the transmission of the Olympic torch around the world.

In fact, since this year, the Olympic torch relay has been launched around the world. However, as everyone knows, there have been many noises in this relay, especially some anti-China forces in the West, who have taken this opportunity to slander our country. There have been incidents that have blocked the torch relay, both in Turkey and Australia and Europe.

It is obvious that the two of them are now meeting such people on the forum. One guy is making a big splash and launching a vicious attack on the Olympic torch relay and our country.

Well, if you just do this, it would be fine. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Not to mention that this is a foreign website. Even in some domestic forums, there are many such people.

But the guy who just came in was very powerful - the one on Li Xiangping was originally a relatively friendly chat room for China, mainly composed of overseas Chinese and some friendly people to China. However, after the foreign keyboard warrior came in, the two sides quickly had a quarrel, and so many people could not even argue with him.

Li Xiangping felt frustrated at the time. For the first time, he felt that his English was too poor, for example, today, if this was a Chinese forum, he could scold this guy for being so bloody, but now, he can't help at all, and he feels like he can't do it with force.

"….Facts have proved that the Western system is better than the backward and autocratic system of China. Just their backward and ignorant country wants to host the Olympics well? Is this possible? Everyone is right? Well, I won't talk to you guys anymore. A bunch of stupid people, talking to you is a waste of time..."

Seeing that Li Xiangping could no longer watch this, he didn't care about his bad English and typed a line of phrase on the keyboard: "Rijht    your   mother   rijht!”

After seeing this, Zhao Daokai was stunned for a moment: "Ah! Are you... right to your mother? Your grammar is wrong."

"Don't worry about my grammar right or not, don't you understand this?"

In fact, not only Zhao Daokai understood it, but other netizens on the Internet already understood Li Xiangping's Chinese English. So, a spectacular scene appeared on the Internet. The sentence "Rijht    your    mother   rijht!” created by Li Xiangping, and everyone lined up in a uniform manner, and each person said "Rijht    your    mother   rijht!” directly drove the guy away just now.

Li Xiangping was proud, this time he was really proud! He said to Zhao Daokai with pride:

"Haha, Daokai, how about it? My English is already good now. I feel that this time, CET-4 will definitely be fine."

Zhao Daokai also laughed: "Haha, no problem, no problem, Li Daqisheng is amazing, I feel that you can't talk about level 4, you have been to level 8 now, no problem."

"Haha, you won't need to level 8."

"Why don't you?"

"It's very simple. I'm afraid of scaring ordinary people like you."

"Haha, I'm going to say that you are pretty, but you said you haven't washed your face, and you're even more beautiful after washing your face, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Li Xiangping smiled and leaned back and forth: "By the way, Painter Zhao, what kind of painting model did you find this time? This is not like your style. Why is a painting model still hiding and not daring to bring it out to meet people?"

"Oh~~"

When Zhao Daokai mentioned this, he sighed: "It's not that he doesn't dare to bring it out to meet people, but that he can't bring it out at all."

Zhao Daokai paused and continued, "Li Daqisheng, I'll say hello to you in advance now. For my next work, the delivery time may be a little later."

"Oh! Why?" Li Xiangping's gossip fire burned:

"You are still so attentive this time? Let me declare first that you can do it even if you don't deliver it. If you want to keep it yourself, just keep it yourself."

"It's not that I want to stay, but that the model I've found is so busy that I rarely see her. How do I paint this?"

"Ah?! Who are you looking for this time?"

However, when Zhao Daokai mentioned this issue, he refused to say it again. While Li Xiangping had no choice but to deal with him, he became more and more curious.

Of course, Li Xiangping's curiosity is not that strong, and he will not force other people's private affairs. After Zhao Daokai stayed in the apartment for a while, he ran away and fooled around.

Although the focus of the next few days was on CET-4, Li Xiangping did not give up on the practice of chess skills. After Zhao Daokai left, he and Lao performed routine training that he had been persisting for several years.

Today is a training session for a 21-way big chessboard. This chess game has been played for 3 days and it should be over today.

At around 9 o'clock that night, Lao Shi sighed:

"Oh, this chess is not working anymore. The little friend of Xiangping is indeed a genius, and his talent is beyond my comparison."

Li Xiangping felt proud, but pretended to be modest: "Haha Chengrong Chengrong, I'm afraid Brother Ding'an asked me on purpose." --------

Li Xiangping was indeed pretending because he said "resentment" but he didn't even believe it himself.

The two have been training this way for several years. There is nothing at the beginning and there is no obvious gap. However, in the last year, it has shown an obvious feature:

On the normal 19th chessboard, Li Xiangping is always worse than his plug-in. If the two fight one-on-one on the normal chessboard, Li Xiangping is always at a disadvantage. He can only win three or four games after 10 games.

However, on the big chessboard, it is the opposite.

Now Li Xiangping is beginning to gain the upper hand, and Lao Shi can only win three to four games at most in the next 10 games.

Li Xiangping didn't know why. He believed that the two of them had trained themselves, so Lao Shi probably didn't let him do it. It was because he felt that Lao Shi had used all his strength. Li Xiangping felt that he might be really a piece of Go. At least his Go talent should be good, otherwise this would not happen.

Time soon came in May 2007. On this day, there was a round of AFC matches, and this game was Li Xiangping's home court, but Li Xiangping missed for the first time this year because he was going to take the CET-4 exam.

After a day of work, Li Xiangping felt that this was even more tiring than the next World Championship final. Yaya also knew that he valued this exam very much, so she came to see him after the exam:

"How did the exam?"

"Haha, no problem. Some people say I can pass Level 8, and it's no problem to just Level 4."

Although Li Xiangping bragged in front of his girlfriend, he was upset in his heart. He actually felt that he didn't do well today, and thought he couldn't really pass the exam, right? He didn't pass the CET-4 in the second semester of his sophomore year, so he would be very disappointed.

Of course, the exam has been completed. No matter how worried Li Xiangping is, it is useless. Everything can only be left to fate.

After the exam, Li Xiangping once again devoted his attention to the Encirclement League. In the round he missed, the team also suffered its first defeat this year. Although he is still 4 points ahead of the second place, considering that his schedule is loose and tight, there are not many games in the first half of the year. However, from the second half of the year, as various world competitions gradually begin, he will definitely be much busy in the second half of the year. Therefore, he thought it would be better to establish enough advantages in the first half of the league to make the second half a little easier.

May is about to pass soon, and the quarterfinals of the "Fujitsu Cup" is right in front of you. Li Xiangping's opponent in this round is Korean chess player Won Sung-jung. It's strange that although "Yuan Fist" is a member of the "Calves Three" of Korean Go, Li Xiangping has a lot of fights with the other two, but rarely fights with this one. In Li Xiangping's impression, the two have only fought once or twice before.

According to convention, the quarterfinals of the "Fujitsu Cup" are still held in China. The first weekend of June is coming soon. On this day, Li Xiangping set out from the apartment early and prepared to go to the chess institute to participate in this game.

"Oh, it's already 2007, and in real history, the Fujitsu Cup was the last in 2011, and it's not been a few years..."

While thinking this, Li Xiangping came to the China Chess Academy.
Chapter completed!
