Chapter 11: Besieging Wei to Save Zhao
There was a Go set in the corner of the box. A teacher looked at the board and suddenly suggested:
"Since the old professor hasn't arrived yet, why not let Ziqian and Qiping play a game? What do you all say?"
This proposal immediately attracted a lot of support.
"You two are the 'peerless duo' of our school. It's been ages since we've seen you two play together. Let's see if your skills have changed in the past two years."
"Yes, yes! Kings meeting kings, this is a rare sight!"
Zhao Ziqian smiled calmly and looked at Zhao Qiping.
"I have no objection."
Zhao Qiping is proud and arrogant, so he will naturally not back down in front of everyone, especially when the other party is Zhao Ziqian.
"OK."
The two sat down in front of the chessboard, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Black and white chess pieces fell down in an interlaced manner, and a silent fight unfolded in a small space. Every step was carefully taken, and it was difficult to tell which side was better.
Everyone around watched the battle with bated breath.
Qu Xiaoxiao had no idea what was so interesting about these black and white chess pieces and felt dazzled.
She forced her eyelids to hold them open to prevent herself from yawning, but her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she was about to doze off.
Zhao Ziqian caught a glimpse of her trying to be energetic but looking confused and helpless, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered,
"boring?"
Qu Xiaoxiao woke up with a start and muttered softly,
"It's like pouring red beans and green beans into a basin and then picking them out one by one. I think you are even more boring."
Zhao Ziqian chuckled, "Are you good at math?"
"You're so good at settling accounts!" Qu Xiaoxiao immediately became excited.
"That's easy,"
Zhao Ziqian gestured at the chessboard with his eyes, "Just count to see whether there are more white or black pieces at the end. Once you're done counting, our game is over."
Qu Xiaoxiao looked at him doubtfully.
"Really? That simple?"
"Try it?" Zhao Ziqian teased her.
Just as Qu Xiaoxiao was concentrating on counting, Zhao Ziqian's move speed increased significantly, and his style of play suddenly became sharp and precise.
Sure enough, just as Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head and blurted out excitedly,
"Black! There's so much more black!" The moment——
The teacher next to him clapped his hands and said,
"Great! We won! Ziqian, your finish was amazing! You're still as strong as ever!"
Zhao Qiping stared at the chessboard, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
Another teacher patted him on the shoulder to smooth things over.
"Excellent, wonderful! Qiping, you've made a lot of progress. The fight was so close! You two have always been the pride of our school!"
"We won! We really won!"
Qu Xiaoxiao didn't care about those polite words. She jumped up excitedly and hugged Zhao Ziqian beside her.
Zhao Ziqian took advantage of the situation and gently embraced her. He used a little force to pull her towards him and asked in a low voice in her ear,
"Is he better than him?"
The voice was low and magnetic, and the warm breath brushed past the ears, with a hint of subtle coaxing and... teasing.
Qu Xiaoxiao froze instantly, and felt as if she had just... been teased?
When she came to her senses and wanted to confirm, Zhao Ziqian was already chatting with the people around him.
Qu Xiaoxiao stood there and looked at Zhao Ziqian again, who looked calm, as if nothing had happened just now.
I'm not sure if what just happened really happened?
Qu Xiaoxiao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated uncontrollably.
She covered her chest quietly and murmured softly,
"Oh my god, is he going to have a heart attack? With all these doctors in this room, he shouldn't be...fatal, right?"
While everyone was still savoring the wonderful chess game just now,
Wei Wei smiled and said, "It's really wonderful, especially Mr. Zhao's final move of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao', it's really brilliant!"
He suddenly changed the subject and cast his gaze towards Qu Xiaoxiao, asking casually but in fact challenging her,
"Xiao Qu, what do you think?"
This question instantly focused everyone's attention on Qu Xiaoxiao.
"Besiege Wei to Save Zhao" is undoubtedly a mystery to her in this "cultural desert".
Zhao Qiping naturally understood Wei Wei's intention, and there was a subtle curve at the corner of his mouth.
He coughed lightly, not knowing whether it was because he felt that he had no right to help Qu Xiaoxiao out of this situation.
I still want Zhao Ziqian to see the real Qu Xiaoxiao,
Or, I want to see how Zhao Ziqian will resolve this situation.
In short, he didn't say anything.
Zhao Ziqian chuckled and tapped the chessboard lightly with his slender fingers.
"Yes, what do you think of 'Besiege Wei to Save Zhao'?"
He made a "please" gesture to Wei Wei, turned to Qu Xiaoxiao and said,
"This is Wei Wei (Besiege Wei), he wants to 'save Zhao'. I want to hear what you think. Save Zhao?"
This statement seems to throw the problem back, but in fact it uses homophony to replace the concept -
Wei Wei helps the man surnamed Zhao to get back together. What do you think?
Qu Xiaoxiao was so smart that the annoyance she felt at being bullied just now instantly turned into fighting power.
With her waist straightened and her chin slightly raised, her charming energy immediately emerged.
"That depends on which 'Zhao' it is~"
She drawled out her voice.
"I, Qu Xiaoxiao, have always had my eyes on top of my head—"
His eyes swept over Zhao Qiping with obvious disdain, "You've always been second best, so naturally I look down on you."
The next second, she suddenly turned around, held Zhao Ziqian's face, and kissed him in front of everyone!
"This 'Zhao' is more like it."
Qu Xiaoxiao stepped back after the kiss and finally winked at Wei Wei.
"Brother Wei, is my opinion clear enough?"
Who among those present is not a shrewd person?
Isn’t it obvious that Zhao Qiping was dumped by Qu Xiaoxiao?
The entire box fell into silence in an instant, and then began to boil like a pot of boiling water!
The whistles, cheers, exclamations and laughter almost blew the roof off.
The heat wave ignited by Qu Xiaoxiao continued until the party ended and Zhao Ziqian sent Qu Xiaoxiao back home.
Almost at the same moment the door closed, the ambiguity that had been fermenting for a long time was about to explode.
Their breaths intertwined, their lips and tongues intertwined, and both sides had an almost predatory eagerness.
Qu Xiaoxiao subconsciously put her arms around his neck, and her high heels fell to the ground with a "click".
There was no time to turn on the light in the entrance hall, and expensive suit jackets, satin shirts... were thrown casually on the path from the door to the bedroom.
When the overwhelming kisses came, her suspenders had already slipped to the ground, revealing the expensive black lace underneath.
When two interesting souls, who were rebellious and testing each other, collided, their bodies reacted honestly and at the fastest speed, producing amazing sparks.
"Wait...wait a minute..."
Zhao Ziqian did not force it, breathing rapidly, and confirmed again,
"Want to wait?"
Qu Xiaoxiao did hesitate for a second, but her "lack of restraint" in front of Zhao Qiping caused her to be passive afterwards.
However, it was only for a second, and she soon discovered that in front of Zhao Ziqian and her own surging desire, that hesitation was insignificant.
There is no word "reserved" in her dictionary, only "live in the moment".
How could she let go of such top-notch meat that was delivered to her mouth and suited her taste?
Let’s eat first.
The worst that can happen is... I can deny it later.
After figuring this out, she completely let go, no longer having any scruples, but instead actively catered to him, like an enchanting vine, tightly wrapping around him.
"No wait!"
Zhao Ziqian's height advantage was clearly evident at this moment. He pressed Qu Xiaoxiao against the glass of the master bedroom with one hand, and slid his other hand down along her spine.
In the darkness, the senses are infinitely magnified.
The scorching heat of his palm, the slight tremors on her delicate skin, the heavy and intertwined breathing, and the uncontrollable, intermittent sobs and moans, together composed the most primitive desire.
It turns out the two are surprisingly compatible when it comes to bedding.
Neither of them likes to talk nonsense, both of them love to be in control, and both of them know when to give in.
At three o'clock in the morning, Qu Xiaoxiao lay exhausted on the edge of the bathtub, looking at the scratches on the back of the man who was adjusting the water temperature for her, and closed her eyes lazily.
Forget it, I’ve already eaten. I’ll talk about it tomorrow.
It was not until noon the next day that the sudden ringing of the cell phone woke Qu Xiaoxiao from her sleep.
She closed her eyes and reached for her phone, her mind still in a mess and her voice hoarse.
"Hello...Who is this..."
Fan Shengmei's clear voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Qu? Are you still sleeping?"
Qu Xiaoxiao finally came to her senses and replied vaguely,
"Oh...drank too much last night..."
"You should drink less,"
Fan Shengmei reminded him, "By the way, I'm going to Jiangzhou on a business trip with Meng Yanchen these days, so you should keep an eye on Xingtu."
"Oh...I see..."
Qu Xiaoxiao was talking on the phone when she suddenly felt a warm big hand hugging her from behind.
"Who is it? It's so early."
Zhao Ziqian's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of laziness, as he had just woken up.
"ah--"
Qu Xiaoxiao screamed, and hurriedly covered Zhao Ziqian's mouth, and subconsciously said,
"Sister Fan, I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first!"
On the other end of the phone, Fan Shengmei looked at the call that was suddenly hung up, thinking about something.
Meng Yanchen, who was packing his luggage nearby, looked up and asked,
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao Qu seems to be in love," Fan Shengmei said with a smile, "She doesn't sound like Doctor Zhao."
Meng Yanchen came over and rubbed her hair.
"Isn't that great? With one more person to take care of your little sisters, you can spend more time with me."
Fan Shengmei hugged his neck and smiled softly,
“Why do I feel like someone is complaining?”
"I dare not."
Meng Yanchen kissed her gently, put his arm around her shoulders and walked towards the wardrobe.
"I've almost packed your things. Is there anything else you should take? It might be a little cooler in Jiangzhou at night."
Fan Shengmei suddenly remembered something important and looked up and asked him,
"By the way, what's the important matter that requires you to take me with you when you go to Jiangzhou this time?"
Meng Yanchen put his arm around her waist and explained calmly,
"Zhou Xun looked at a project in Jiangzhou. The initial evaluation was good, but some unexpected changes occurred during the process. For the sake of public affairs, I need to go there in person to take a look and decide whether Guo Kun should continue to participate."
He paused, looked down at her, his eyes filled with heartache.
"Personally, you've been working too hard these past few months. This is a good opportunity for you to get out of your familiar surroundings and completely relax for two days."
He held her hand tightly, and gently stroked her fingertips with his fingertips, his voice became deeper and slower.
"Also, I want to take you somewhere."
"Where?" Fan Shengmei looked at him curiously.
Meng Yanchen just smiled and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
