Chapter 146 You’ll Get It With Practice
Xie Yixing's face was full of confusion.
He has lived here for several days. Although he rarely went out, when he passed by the square on his way to buy groceries, he didn't see anyone, let alone any activities!
Jiang Yunyao, the native, was even more confused than him.
"What activities do we have here? Why don't I know about it?"
The people from the program crew seemed speechless. After a while, a staff member came over and described the location to them.
"About fifty meters north of the square, there's a nicely decorated bungalow with an activity hall inside. You can just go there."
Jiang Yunyao understood what he said, "You mean where? It's not appropriate for us to go there, right?"
She had never been there, but she had heard of it. It was a place known as the "Intelligence Bureau"!
It is said that all the people there are old hands in the underworld!
If she and Xie Yixing go there, even their ancestors for eighteen generations will be dug up!
Xie Yixing's curiosity was piqued. "What activities are there?"
Jiang Yunyao listed them one by one, "Playing chess, playing cards, chatting... Oh, and there are also blind date introductions!"
Xie Yixing: “…”
He still chooses to play games at home!
[I'm dying of laughter! The production team didn't expect that Jiang Yunyao, a local, knows the neighborhood better than they do!]
[These activities sound like they’re for older people!]
[Remove “very similar” from the previous sentence! ]
Jiang Yunyao lives in a high-end residential complex, right? Residents can go to a special place for activities! People like us in ordinary communities don't even go out on such a hot day!
[It feels so boring! They are all old men and women, what's fun here!]
I originally thought it was boring, until I noticed the resistance on Jiang and Xie's faces! What does that mean?! We have to go somewhere they don't even want to go!
[Hahahaha, I agree with the previous one! We, the audience, are all rebellious!]
Jiang and Xie arrived at the designated location. There was a sign hanging at the door of the house that read "Thank you Mr. A for your sponsorship."
Xie Yixing took a look and asked, "Who is Mr. A?"
Jiang Yunyao had heard a little about this person.
"I've never met this person, but I heard that he invested in this community more than 20 years ago. He later used his personal assets to build this activity hall for residents to rest for free."
"He also took care of all the expenses here, such as the electricity bill for the air conditioner and the heating bill for the floor heating. He paid for everything."
Xie Yixing exclaimed, "He is so great!"
It is very rare to find someone who is willing to spend a large sum of money to help others without asking for anything in return!
Jiang Yunyao nodded repeatedly, "It's really admirable!"
Mr. A's behavior is similar to that of a sponsor.
Having been sponsored in her past life, she knew that continuous support for over twenty years required not only perseverance but also sufficient financial support. This was no easy task.
[Holy crap! What kind of philanthropist is this?! Can Mr. A be promoted in communities nationwide?]
【I fully support the above proposal! 】
[So, when choosing a neighborhood, don’t look at how high-end it is, but rather whether there are any hidden bosses in the neighborhood! ]
[The boss doesn't necessarily live in this neighborhood, right? Or is this just one of his properties?]
How could a man who could do such a charitable act possibly have so many properties? I think he must be a frugal person!
The topic in the live broadcast room kept going off track, and in the end everyone was discussing whether the boss was frugal or not.
Jiang Xie and his friend pushed the door open and instantly felt the cool temperature in the house and the gazes of the elderly men and women.
The old men and women were very surprised, and their eyes looking at them were full of passion and joy, just like that...
Oh yes, it’s like the spider spirit looking at Tang Monk!
"Oh, what a strange day! Two young people are here today!"
"It's air-conditioned here, so it's very cool! Maybe they're here to enjoy the cool air!"
"Girl, boy, come here, I have an empty seat here, and it's close to the air conditioner, come and sit here!"
The last person who spoke was a middle-aged lady wearing glasses. She sat beside the chessboard, seemingly watching the people around her play chess.
After Jiang Xie and his partner walked in, the elderly people finally noticed the cameraman and the black camera behind them.
In an instant, all the gray-haired old men in the room sat up straight, and even those who were drinking water became subconsciously dignified.
The aunt with glasses was also feeling uncomfortable, but seeing Jiang Yunyao and the others getting closer and closer to her, she had to speak up.
"Daughter, what are you filming?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yunyao hurriedly explained to everyone that if everyone didn't want to, only she and Xie Yixing would be filmed, and no one else would be photographed.
Upon hearing this, the uncles and aunts immediately breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their previous relaxation.
But because of the cameras behind them, they stopped talking. The bustling event hall suddenly became quiet, and the temperature inside dropped.
Jiang Yunyao could see the old men and women were reserved, so she didn't talk to them rashly. Instead, she and Xie Yixing watched two games first.
After watching the second game, the two people who didn't know much about Go were completely stunned.
Jiang Yunyao poked Xie Yixing next to her and asked in a low voice, "Xie Yixing, can you play Go?"
Xie Yixing shook his head honestly, lowered his voice, and whispered in her ear, "No."
Jiang Yunyao glanced around and saw an empty chessboard in the corner.
She suggested, "Why don't we go over there and practice? Maybe we'll get it with practice!"
Xie Yixing felt that what she said made sense.
After the two made their decision, they took action and walked towards the corner.
The only two young men here stood up and changed seats, it was hard not to be noticed!
But because of the presence of the cameras, everyone still did not act rashly.
[You'll get better with practice? Jiang Yunyao's words are similar to Xiao Xie's "If you're not good at it, just practice more!"]
Ahhhh, A Yao and Xiao Xie are becoming more and more alike. They're gradually showing signs of each other. So cute! 】
What is this called? Living like each other?
[No, forget about everything else. For something like Go, how can you possibly master it just by practicing without learning the basics?!]
[This chessboard... They say a man of insight is a true hero. If it were me, I'd play Gomoku instead!]
Jiang and Xie didn't succeed in playing Gobang.
They searched for theoretical knowledge online, then opened the chess software to play against robots, learning as they went along.
Soon, some elderly people were attracted by them and came over to them.
An old man wearing a straw hat pointed at Jiang Yunyao's black chess piece and commented,
"Your move is wrong. If he makes two more moves, he'll capture all your pieces. It's better to put them here."
Jiang Yunyao did not follow the old man's instructions. Instead, she quickly made her move and asked Xie Yixing to continue to play according to the robot's instructions.
