Gu Qinghuan chuckled, put the water next to the table, picked up the cup and took a sip.
Then I sat down opposite him and started by explaining how to play Go.
Fang Zhengping suddenly felt like he was being fooled by her and looked at her with a constipated face. What kind of childish move was this?
"Come on, we'll know if it works after we try it first." Gu Qinghuan made the first move.
Fang Zhengping had no choice but to follow.
In the first round, Gu Qinghuan defeated Fang Zhengping completely, and he lost before he even had time to react.
This cannot be blamed on his poor Go skills. On the contrary, he is a very good Go player, so the rules in his head were not converted for a while, said Gu Qinghuan.
Gu Qinghuan smiled proudly: "Continue?"
Fang Zhengping picked up the water beside him and drank it down, then wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "More!"
He never thought that one day he would be so stubborn in wanting to win back after losing a game of chess.
Maybe it's because the game is too easy, and I feel even more upset when I lose.
He didn't realize that he had already quietly followed Gu Qinghuan's instructions, and his entire mind was focused on the chess game.
In the second game, he kept reminding himself of the rules of Go in his heart, and he was much more comfortable than in the previous game, but in the end he was still caught off guard and lost.
Gu Qinghuan could feel that he had changed his mind and made great progress in this game. If she didn't have many chess formations in her mind, it would have been a bit suspenseful.
When she was in school, her deskmate liked to play chess with her during breaks, which helped her kill time and exercise her brain.
Thanks to her deskmate's obsession with chess, she taught her many "formations", such as lightning formation, plum blossom formation, thunder formation, swallow formation, inverted triangle formation, and moon formation. Now she can win easily.
Looking at Fang Zhengping's frustrated look, she smiled secretly.
You little brat, get fooled.
"Ahem! Another round?" Gu Qinghuan deliberately tested.
Fang Zhengping's mind is now full of chess moves, and he is a little excited.
"Come again!"
In the third game, Fang Zhengping made the first move and played steadily, almost putting Gu Qinghuan in danger. Fortunately, she used the Green Dragon Formation to escape successfully and come back to life.
Fang Zhengping lost three games in a row, which completely piqued his interest. You know, he is a good go player, but this chess move made him lose three times. It's interesting.
Anyone who has played Go knows that although it may seem simple, it is really addictive and the more you play, the more you want to play.
This was exactly what Gu Qinghuan expected.
In fact, her purpose was not to win him, but to make him come out of his closed mood, do something he likes to pass the time, and temporarily forget the unhappy things.
Combined with the water she added, he should be able to have a good sleep today.
Fang Zhengping was about to jump up and down, ready to continue.
Gu Qinghuan stood up and patted his butt: "Uncle Fang and Auntie are still waiting downstairs, let's just stay here for now!"
She really didn't dare to play again. Fang Zhengping had a good foundation in Go, and he would soon figure out his way to beat her, and then the effect would be greatly reduced.
What she wanted was for him to feel unhappy and keep the matter in his mind, so that he could get rid of the control of his emotions.
With the help of spiritual spring water, the treatment effect will be better.
Fang Zhengping suddenly felt like he was telling me this with his pants off.
He felt resentful, but after all the other party was a guest, so he had to acknowledge him.
"Will you come next time?" Although he was not in a good mental state, he knew that Gu Qinghuan was the helper hired by his parents.
Gu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "If your treatment is effective."
Fang Zhengping stood up: "I will definitely beat you next time!"
Gu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Then we'll wait and see."
The two of them went downstairs one after the other, which surprised the three people in the living room, especially Fang Zhihai and his two children.
Because it was the first time that Fang Zhengping walked downstairs by himself since he was discharged from hospital due to illness half a month ago, and he looked in good spirits.
Fang Zhihai's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he just wasn't heartbroken.
Ou Sumei's eyes lit up when she looked at Gu Qinghuan. This girl was truly amazing.
From this, it can be seen that Gu Qinghuan is indeed a capable person, and the couple stood up to greet him.
Xu Huaian looked at the two people walking downstairs, and suddenly a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.
Fang Zhengping looked at Gu Qinghuan with the same eyes as if he were looking at prey. He thought of himself in the past, who also slowly fell in love with her during the treatment process.
And Gu Qinghuan once said that she admired soldiers.
In fact, in a certain sense, Fang Zhengping and he are actually no different. They are both soldiers and both have post-war psychological disorders.
However, Fang Zhengping's conditions in all aspects are much better than his. He has parents who love him, a good family background, and he also has a good appearance.
Xu Huaian had a lot of thoughts in an instant. He had not yet gained fame from Gu Qinghuan, and he would never allow others to appear and destroy it all.
At this moment he regretted agreeing to let Fang Zhihai treat Fang Zhengping.
Gu Qinghuan had no idea of the twists and turns in Xu Huai'an's heart, and secretly made a "yeah" gesture to him.
Xu Huai'an forced a smile.
Then it was time for dinner. The meal cooked by Fang's nanny was delicious. It was a rare opportunity to have a ready-made meal, so Gu Qinghuan was quite happy.
Fang Zhengping rarely went downstairs to eat, and Fang Zhihai and his wife kept their attention on their son. They found that he seemed to be in a particularly stable mood today and his appetite was also good. They felt even more favorable towards Gu Qinghuan.
In fact, it was the spiritual spring water that made the greatest contribution. Although Gu Qinghuan's method of diverting attention was good, it would not be so effective immediately.
The couple's attitude towards Gu Qinghuan also changed 180 degrees. They were much more enthusiastic than when she first came and kept inviting her to eat.
Even Fang Zhengping could hardly say, "Comrade Gu, the hot pot meat is delicious."
"Really? Then try it." Gu Qinghuan took a bite with chopsticks. It was indeed good, but not amazing either.
The food on this table is just of standard standard, not particularly delicious, but she certainly wouldn't be so tactless as to say that. This is an unspoken rule among Chinese people, and not embarrassing others is a virtue.
"Well, it's pretty good. It tastes good."
Fang Zhengping's mouth corners curved, and he was in a good mood.
The actions of the two made Xu Huai'an jealous, and he also picked up a piece of hot pot meat with chopsticks seemingly unintentionally.
"I think this pot of meat is still a little different from the one made by Huanhuan."
This sentence has a bit of gossip in it, conveying several meanings. First, Gu Qinghuan is his person, and it is just something recommended by Fang Zhengping, and that's it; third, he can often eat the meals cooked by Gu Qinghuan.
After these words came out, Gu Qinghuan felt like he was going to die on the spot. How could this guy just say whatever he wanted without noticing that the Fang family members were all looking at them?
I've never seen him so bad at speaking.
Fang Zhihai felt that Xu Huaian was a very honest guy. He had eaten a lot of good food, and the quality of the food at his home was just average.
Ou Sumei was a woman, and she could easily see through Xu Huaian's little thoughts, but she didn't say anything, because after all, these two girls came to treat her son.
In her opinion, her son had very high standards. He had been introduced to so many rich ladies before, many of whom were beautiful, but he ignored them all. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to fall in love with Gu Qinghuan. Xu Huaian was worrying for no reason.
I feel a little uncomfortable inside but I don't say it out loud.
Fang Zhengping didn't expect that Gu Qinghuan was already married. Xu Huaian's words of asserting his sovereignty made him feel a little lost, and he didn't say anything in the end.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment.
Ou Sumei quickly stepped forward to warm up the atmosphere: "Really? Xiao Gu can also cook? Xiao Xu's words made all the gluttons in my stomach come out. Let us taste your cooking skills next time we have the chance."
Gu Qinghuan nodded awkwardly: "Okay, Auntie."
Xu Huaian didn't expect that because of what he said, he would have to lose a meal with his wife for no reason. While secretly cursing himself for being a bad mouth, he felt awkward in his heart.
He didn't know why he was so nervous today.
There is a kind of innate inferiority in my heart.
Fang Zhengping is the only son in the family. He has a good family background, is loved by his parents, and looks good. But he is a child who is not loved by his parents, a farmer, and has nothing.
In comparison, he himself somewhat disliked himself.
Because of Xu Huai'an's awkward speech, no one said much afterwards. The meal was extremely perfunctory and awkward and ended quickly.
After finishing his meal, Fang Zhengping went upstairs to study chess.
Today's three consecutive defeats aroused his competitive spirit.
Gu Qinghuan discussed his condition in detail with Fang Zhihai and his wife. At present, he seems to be in the early stages of psychological change, which is actually more like depression.
Because Xu Huai'an was a doctor, Gu Qinghuan already knew a lot of methods to treat related diseases.
She formulated a corresponding treatment plan for Fang Zhengping's situation. It was not only her assistance, but also the Fang couple, as parents, should participate in helping their son get better.
"His condition is not serious, here are some suggestions for you.
Except for sleeping time, try not to let him stay alone, at least there is someone to accompany him.
The companionship I'm talking about doesn't just mean staying with him, but effective companionship, such as going for a walk together, riding a bike together, doing some martial arts boxing, chatting, etc.
You can even travel, walk around the surrounding cities, experience the customs and people of different places, keep him busy, and don't stop.
It will be good for him to go out of the room and experience different things more often.
If conditions permit, you can also let him do some light physical work, or help with things at home within his ability.
Because he has been unemployed for a long time and is protected like a baby, he will deny himself more and doubt the value of his existence.
So if we use him appropriately, we can help him recover.
In addition, if he has any hobbies on weekdays, you can let him pick them up and immerse himself in the world he likes, which is always better than daydreaming.
He seems to like Go very much. You can play Go with him more often and slowly understand his thoughts.
In short, this is a protracted war, and that's all I can tell you.
Of course, I will come to check on him from time to time later."
After hearing what Gu Qinghuan said, Ou Sumei suddenly became enlightened.
"What you said makes sense, we will definitely stick to it.
That is, can you come over more often during this period? Mr. Fang is busy on weekdays, and I am afraid that you can't take care of it alone." Ou Sumei said embarrassedly.
"Auntie, it's like this. My cousin is in the hospital with gastric bleeding. She's not in good health and needs someone to take care of her. I may not be able to come every day.
How about this, if you have time later, you can bring Mr. Fang to your home, and I will come to visit from time to time, do you think this is okay?"
"Well, okay!" Ou Sumei could only agree.
Gu Qinghuan also resigned at the appropriate time.
When they left, Ou Sumei gave them some supplements.
"You said your cousin had gastric bleeding, so I prepared some tonic herbs for you to take back. They are all very good for women." Ou Sumei was a thoughtful person.
She insisted on giving it to him, and Gu Qinghuan had no choice but to accept it.
Fang Zhihai asked his driver to take them home.
