Zhang Qi agreed very much with Xi Shaoyuan's words. This game is a test of intelligence and strategy. How can you enjoy it if you don't put your heart into it?
Bridge is all about 2v2 cooperation. Every time Qi Yaguang or Lu Lingshan is in the game, the other teammate who is in the team with them will be completely brain dead.
In one game, Xie Cheng and Lu Lingshan became partners. The aura of the top student dimmed. At the end of the game, he did not get the expected number of tricks. Even if he played well, it ended regrettably.
The count for wearing a sweater starts after two games are played. Zhang Qi and Lu Lingshan lose a game, and Xie Cheng and Lu Lingshan lose a game. After two games, the points of Zhang Qi and Xie Cheng are offset and they don't need to wear sweaters. Lu Lingshan wore two sweaters after two rounds.
In the past, Zhang Qi played the game in a more Buddhist way. After he and Lu Lingshan suffered losses together, he also played cards in a more Buddhist way. He didn't dare to use his mind to fight, for fear that if he hit too hard, the situation would change and it would be his turn to team up with the girls. Xie Cheng and Xi Shaoyuan will not let him go.
After all the giving and taking, this game has no other meaning except to make Lu Lingshan and Qi Yaguang look more funny in sweaters.
Zhang Qi was simply traumatized by playing intellectual games with girls.
The situation did not improve until Xu Qing came on the scene.
After the game started, Zhang Qi sat on Zhou Xiu's right and became her opponent. And his teammate is Xie Cheng.
This lineup simply couldn't be more stable.
Zhang Qi was full of confidence. He said with a smile: "Zhou Xiu, since you are a girl, we will give way to you."
He looked at Xu Haobo who was standing next to him, pointed and said, "Zhou Xiu will go down later, Haobo will come up."
Xu Haobo's math grades have always been very good. The game will be more interesting when Zhou Xiu leaves and Xu Haobo takes over.
Zhang Qi and Xu Haobo are both veteran bridge players.
The top students in the Rocket Class found it very interesting to see the usually elegant and charming school beauty dressed in a round outfit, and they came over to look at the cards.
At this time, they saw that Lu Lingshan was replaced by Zhou Xiu and frowned.
Huaxu, Tan Ming, Du Feiyang and others saw that the big guys in the grade had gathered together to play cards. After a game of Landlord was over, they also went to the Rocket Class’s base camp to watch bridge.
"Girls are more suitable for taking selfies and playing Landlord. Let boys play bridge," said Zhang Qi.
With just one sentence, Zhang Qi offended all the girls present.
Lu Lingshan and Qi Yaguang lost miserably. Qi Yaguang clenched his fists and said, "I will play seriously later. You will get so hot in your sweater."
Zhang Qi smiled and said nothing.
Even if he doesn't play seriously, Qi Yaguang can wear the sweater all the way through, so what will happen if he plays seriously?
Seeing that more and more people came to play cards, Lu Lingshan gradually gave up the idea of playing cards.
It's good to play with Xi Shaoyuan, but Lu Lingshan doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of everyone.
A round begins, and play starts after the cards are called. Qi Yaguang stood behind Zhou Xiu and saw that she played a big spade card, the Ace, at the beginning of the game.
Qi Yaguang immediately said: "Zhou Xiu will easily die if he is beaten like this, why don't you——"
The first trick was taken by Zhou Xiu.
Huaxu pulled Qi Yaguang to the other side and said, "Why are you looking around? Can't you just watch quietly?"
"What do you know?"
A true gentleman looks at the cards without saying a word. Qi Yaguang made a blind move and revealed the cards. What should Zhou Xiu do if he is defeated? Huaxu and Yu Qingyan both stood behind Zhou Xiu, blocking Qi Yaguang's sight.
Qi Yaguang had no choice but to look at Xie Cheng's cards.
In the first few rounds, the four people played their cards very quickly. Later on, the four of them gradually fell silent. It took Zhang Qi an average of 20 seconds to play a card.
After he played all his cards, Zhou Xiu quickly put down his cards and the game ended.
Xi Shaoyuan and Zhou Xiu won, completed the contract, and achieved a minor grand slam with points exceeding 1,000.
Zhang Qi took out his phone to calculate the score, and Zhou Xiu read out the numbers: "No need to calculate, a mini-grand slam is worth 750+500=1250 points, and 6 tricks is doubled to 760, a total of 2010."
I was careless in the first game and lost so much points that I bleed.
Zhang Qi and Xie Cheng were penalized minus 1,000 points. Zhang Qi suddenly sat up straight, opened his eyes wide and dared not breathe.
It's a feeling of switching from a baby game to a master game all of a sudden.
The second game started with the players being ranked according to their points. At this time, Xie Cheng and Zhou Xiu, Xi Shaoyuan and Zhang Qi each became teammates.
The four men fought slowly, and Zhang Qi gradually began to sweat, which he wiped off.
The second game ends and the points are settled. Zhang Qi put on two sweaters at once.
Zhang Qi asked Du Feiyang to bring him a glass of ice water. After drinking the ice water, his playful face turned completely serious.
In the third game, Zhou Xiu and Xi Shaoyuan scored twice as many points as before.
Xie Cheng has a relatively high score, so he is often teamed up with Zhang Qi, who has a lower score. Unfortunately, after working with Zhang Qi many times, Xie Cheng was dragged into the water by him and wore a sweater for the first time.
The whole audience was silent.
Qi Yaguang: “…”
Is Zhou Xiu so good at playing cards?
The top student in the Rocket Class also looked at their Xie Shen in disbelief, reluctantly took off his coat, and found a sweater to put on.
After several rounds, only Zhou Xiu and Xi Shaoyuan had not touched the sweater.
A top student in the rocket class suddenly said, "Zhou Xiu's mental arithmetic ability is very strong."
"She hardly ever uses scratch paper during her exams."
She plays cards and thinks very quickly. Could it be that she has calculated everyone's cards? This brain must have a multi-core processor to calculate so fast.
At this moment, the top students in the Rocket Class sincerely admired Zhou Xiu, and the girls secretly envied Zhou Xiu who stood out among the big guys. Looking at her straight back, it seemed as if it were glowing.
Lu Lingshan stood in the crowd, looking at Zhou Xiu who became the focus of attention. At this moment, the imbalance in her heart reached its peak.
She clenched her fingers tightly.
Withdrew from the crowd.
Yu Qingyan looked at it and said softly to Huaxu: "Master Yuan is also amazing. He hasn't touched the sweater for such a long time."
Zhang Qi, who was gradually getting fatter than a ball, spread out his cards and howled, "Another small grand slam, and another double. I can't play any more."
It's so fucking tiring to play cards with your brain. The mind is exhausted and the body is tortured.
When I played with Qi Yaguang and the others before, I didn’t have to think at all, it was just like playing with a cart in kindergarten. When Zhou Xiu took over, it became Bu Bu Jing Xin, and the speed of thinking was extended infinitely.
If you are not careful, you will be left behind by a huge number of points. It is simply insane.
Zhou Xiu calmly said, "No, you sit down."
"This is a boy's game. Boys can't admit defeat."
After hearing this, Xie Cheng's lips curved up naturally, "Sit down and try to take off your sweater."
The boy playing bridge would never admit defeat, so Zhang Qi sat down again with full confidence.
However, after a few games, Zhang Qi felt the sadness of Qi Yaguang and Lu Lingshan who always wore sweaters.
As long as I team up with Zhang Qi, I will most likely lose that game. Zhang Qi was able to get rid of his sweater only by relying on his luck and teaming up with Zhou Xiu.
In other words, Zhou Xiu always wins and Zhang Qi always loses.
After playing for an hour, Zhang Qi had become fat and kept asking Du Feiyang to give him ice water to drink. Later in the game, he even threw ice cubes into his neck. The combination of ice and fire was so sour and refreshing.
The last sweater was smaller in size, and Zhang Qi tried to put it on forcing it, and the yarn cracked with a sound.
The girls from Class 24 and Wynners class burst into laughter, shouting “You have come to this day, too.”
It is rare to see Zhang Qi being abused like a dog like this. Yu Qingyan even took out his mobile phone to take an ugly photo of him.
Although it was a chilly spring season, Zhang Qi felt as hot as it should be in summer.
Finally, Xu Haobo couldn't stand it anymore and asked Zhang Qi to give up his seat so that he could play.
Zhou Xiu spread out his cards and said, "No, I have something else to do. Let you play."
Zhou Xiu returned to the base camp and picked up his schoolbag.
Xu Haobo sat down and said jokingly: "Zhang Qi, I'll give you a chance to take off your sweaters."
Seeing Zhou Xiu finally leave, Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said stubbornly: "No, I have to take off my clothes by myself."
After Zhou Xiu left, the other four played a few rounds before Zhang Qi took off his sweater. At this time, his base shirt was already soaked, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or ice water.
Xi Shaoyuan put down his cards and stopped playing.
…
Zhou Xiu returned to the class's base camp and prepared to roast some sweet potatoes. As the sun rose higher, she was so hot that she took off her coat and sweater, leaving only a shirt.
I don't know which girl said, "I saw Chinese water lily over there."
"It looks really green and resembles chives, no wonder it is called water chives."
After hearing this, Zhou Xiu handed the task of making fire to Du Feiyang, and carried his schoolbag to look for Chinese water milfoil.
It belongs to the genus Isoetes of the family Isoeceae. It appeared 400 million years ago and is an extremely endangered plant. It can be called the giant panda of the plant world.
It has a mild and humid climate and often grows in ravine mud and shallow ponds. This was originally included in Zhou Xiu's plan, but he forgot about it after playing for a while.
After walking for a while, Zhou Xiu saw it in the moist mud cracks in the ravine, and squatted down to take close-up photos of it from various angles.
There was a light rain in the mountains in the early morning. The wooden railings on the roadside were a bit loose. Zhou Xiu took a few steps back to take a photo, but she lost her balance and accidentally slid down the hill.
The phone fell to the ground, but the man fell into the crevice of the ravine.
Just as Zhou Xiu was sliding down, a shadow rushed over, hugged her waist, and stopped her from falling in time.
The two of them fell down the slope together. Zhou Xiu stumbled a few times and her lips gradually lost their redness.
She opened her eyes and saw Xi Shaoyuan's face close to her.
He has a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a teardrop mole on the corner of his peach-like eyes. He looks particularly handsome in the sun.
At this moment, Xi Shaoyuan held Zhou Xiu's waist tightly, and her whole body was half-held up like a kitten, tightly without a single gap. Her face touched the boy's warm face.
Zhou Xiu let go of his hand, it was a false alarm.
In a daze, she seemed to hear the sound of Xi Shaoyuan being hit on the back.
As soon as Zhou Xiu reached out his hand to touch it, he was pushed away.
Xi Shaoyuan opened his eyes. In fact, the slope was not high or steep, and could even be called gentle. It’s just that if you fall in the wrong position, you can easily get seriously injured.
Xi Shaoyuan smelled the faint fragrance of Zhou Xiu, light and warm. After struggling for a moment, he pushed her away forcefully.
Zhou Xiu was about to say: "Thank you——"
Xi Shaoyuan took a few steps back indifferently and said mockingly: "I just happened to pass by, Zhou Xiu, don't think that I--"
Zhou Xiu climbed up and picked up the phone, wiped it with a napkin, and said lightly: "Don't think I like you, right."
"I know, I know." She nodded.
Zhou Xiu picked up his schoolbag and returned to the class base along the original route.
Xi Shaoyuan looked at Zhou Xiu's leaving back and silently withdrew his gaze. This happened twice. I could even fall down when I took a picture of the grass. Not even playing bridge can prevent it from happening.
All the things that should be experienced are repeating themselves, and he should not harbor any luck.
But this time at the foot of the hill, there was no longer a long hug.
