Chapter 2204 Sudden Pain

After saying goodbye to Xiaocilang, Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo took Wuchen and the others to have a big meal. Xiaocilang said there was a hot pot restaurant nearby that tasted pretty good, and it was opened by a Chinese.

They found the hot pot restaurant quickly, and saw the fat sheep painted on the sign, which made them feel very friendly. The boss was indeed a Chinese, and his authentic Beijing dialect made them even more friendly. Ye Qingqing ordered two bases, one vegetarian and one meat. Everyone was sweating while eating. The taste was indeed very authentic, but vegetables were more expensive than meat. Ye Qingqing liked to eat vegetables when eating hot pot, and Wuchen even ordered N plates, which made Ye Qingqing feel distressed.

"Finally I'm full, I'll come back to eat in the evening."

Wuchen burped several times in a row, and was very satisfied. Ye Qingqing wanted to roll her eyes at him, but she quickly took it back and agreed readily. She had to let this unlucky child do things the day after tomorrow, and she had to make her happy.

The day after tomorrow, Xiaotong and Cui Shi will play a match. In fact, it is more private. The spectators are all local chess players. The match will be held in the morning. Ye Qingqing will go to watch the match first, and then go to give acupuncture to Mai Tsumafu in the afternoon.

The match will also be held in the hotel. Because it is not an open competition, the venue is more casual. In the room where Cui Shi is staying, a dozen men in suits and leather shoes came, with respectful expressions. Ye Mingcheng said that they are all local chess players above the seventh dan. Ye Qingqing did see a few familiar faces, who had seen them at the celebration banquet in China before.

The room was very quiet. Everyone remained silent and no sound was made. Cui Shi and Xiaotong knelt face to face. At the beginning, Xiaotong played very quickly and did not think for too long, but the later he thought, the longer he thought, and sweat came out of his forehead. Cui Shi, however, looked very relaxed all the time, and the rhythm of playing chess was neither fast nor slow.

Although Ye Qingqing did not understand chess, she could see that Xiaotong's level was still a long way from being a master. Losing was certain, and the outcome was expected in advance. Participating in this competition was also to improve Xiaotong and make him progress faster.

Ye Qingqing didn't quite understand the rules, but Xiaotong played the black pieces, while Cui Shi played the white pieces. There were fewer and fewer black pieces on the board, and they were surrounded by white pieces. They were about to be wiped out.

Xiaotong looked very serious, and he had to think for a long time before making each move. Cui Shi was not in a hurry, and waited slowly. His calm demeanor was indeed worthy of being a world-class master.

After thinking for several minutes, Xiaotong made a move, which seemed to be without any rules, but Cui Shi and Master Nie both showed admiring eyes, and it seemed that this move had a lot of mystery.

Soon Ye Qingqing found that the situation that was almost surrounded had now changed. Some black pieces broke out of the siege, as if they had come back to life.

Cui Shi only started to play chess attentively at this time. His expression was not as relaxed as before, and he played chess for a longer time, which meant that he was thinking. The other chess players who were watching were watching attentively, nodding from time to time.

I thought the game would end quickly, but because of Xiaotong's sudden move, it started a protracted battle again. An hour later, the two were still facing each other, but the black piece was surrounded again, and the situation was very bad.

In the end, of course, he still lost, but in fact, for Xiaotong, he was a winner, because he was facing a top master, and he could hold on for one more minute.

"Thank you, Master!"

Xiaotong bowed respectfully to Cui Shi, his little face was full of sweat. Cui Shi smiled slightly and praised: "You are very good..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiaotong's face changed slightly, and his hand couldn't help rubbing his temple. His body swayed a few times, and Cui Shi supported him so that he didn't fall down.
