Ren Yaoqi held a black piece in his hand, about to move it, and tilted his head in thought.
Xiao Jingxi was very patient and did not rush. When it was Ren Yao's turn, he just drank tea quietly.
The goat Xiao Jinglin had chased aside had somehow returned and gently nudged the edge of the stone table with its head. The two chess players merely glanced at it and left it alone.
Ren Yaoqi secretly assessed the current situation. Xiao Jingxi's style of play was generally very stable, but at critical moments he always came up with clever moves. Ren Yaoqi's style of play was actually somewhat similar to his, but she relied on her queen to practice, while Xiao Jingxi was extremely good at scoring.
Although it seems that the two are evenly matched now, Ren Yaoqi is afraid that if Xiao Jingxi takes another unconventional approach, she will lose.
"Will the outcome be decided in one game?" Ren Yaoqi asked after the black piece in his hand fell.
Xiao Jingxi acted extremely quickly. Just as Ren Yaoqi put down his black piece, his white piece landed on the chessboard.
"What do you think, Fifth Sister Ren?" Xiao Jingxi asked gently with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and nodded: "It's better to end it quickly. If I stay out for too long, my mother will be worried."
"Then let's play a game," Xiao Jingxi was very willing to follow the advice.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him, and the black piece in his hand suddenly changed direction and moved to another place.
Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ren Yaoqi, then dropped the white piece in his hand.
Next, Ren Yaoqi seemed like a different person. He began to attack cities and seize ponds without regard for the consequences, only attacking and not defending.
Generally speaking, a person's chess style is largely fixed, which is why their personality can be roughly determined from their style. To be able to predict three steps ahead, a player must understand their opponent's general strategy in order to make accurate judgments.
However, Ren Yaoqi's chess style at this time was very different from her personality. She actually had the awe-inspiring power of a general in the vanguard during the battle against the Liang army. Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
However, he had always been hard to beat at chess. Ren Yaoqi's performance far exceeded his expectations. She seemed to be attacking here and there without any strategy. In reality, she was secretly weaving a network. Xiao Jingxi looked at the chessboard with a touch of interest in his eyes, and his moves became more sharp.
However, because Ren Yaoqi did not play according to the rules, Xiao Jingxi was not as quick in making moves as before.
However, Ren Yaoqi's pace suddenly became faster, and she seemed to act without thinking every time.
If they had met another opponent, they would have been thrown off their stride long ago. Only Xiao Jingxi remained calm, and Ren Yaoqi's sudden burst of power made Xiao Jingxi want to have a good fight with her.
Time passed minute by minute. During this time, Apple quietly came back once, but when he saw Ren Yaoqi playing chess with Xiao Jingxi, he quietly retreated again.
The two were locked in a close battle. In high spirits, Xiao Jingxi suddenly paused, frowning as he gazed at the chessboard, pondering for a moment.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and drank his tea without any expression.
A moment later, Xiao Jingxi dropped the white piece in his hand and looked up at Ren Yaoqi with a half-smile on his face: "Fifth Sister Ren is really amazing. Is it possible that she has other intentions?"
Ren Yaoqi sighed lightly. Sure enough, he had discovered her after all.
However, she had planned this game so skillfully that even if Xiao Jingxi discovered it now, it would be too late.
After a moment, Ren Yaoqi picked up the chess piece in his hand and asked with a smile, "Is there any need to continue?"
