465 Can't afford to lose

On the second day of the New Year, Su Taotao's family formally paid New Year's greetings to the two elders of the Hu family and had a New Year's dinner at their home.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Zhengtu took Su Taotao and Chen Chen, and brought some local specialties to visit his former mentor, now his superior.

When the mentor saw Fu Zhengtu, he was very excited, but he didn't say anything. He just patted him on the shoulder and told him to do his job well.

The two twin grandsons of the tutor’s family are a little older than Chenchen. They are in junior high school this year and like to play with their younger brother.

Chenchen is no longer afraid of strangers and can play with them.

At first, the twins thought their younger brother was younger, so they gave in to him in all games.

The more I played, the more I felt something was wrong. I found that no matter what game I played, even if I tried my best, I still couldn't beat my brother.

"Chenchen, tell me, are you really only seven years old? Did you lie about your age? Are you actually seventeen, not seven? Are you just short?"

Chen Chen puffed up his cheeks and glared at him: "...You are the short one, I am the tallest and strongest among my peers!"

Yesterday, someone said that I took ripening and growth-enhancing agents, so how come today I am lying about my age?

The elder and younger brothers were not convinced and couldn't beat them in playing games, so they decided to play chess!

The result is predictable.

No matter it is chess, flying chess, go, checkers, or five-in-a-row... as long as it is a game of chess, the two brothers always lose miserably. Even if the two brothers play together, they still lose miserably and cannot win a single game!

The twins are about to cry!

The old man's attention was on Su Taotao and Fu Zhengtu at the beginning, but later on, he couldn't help but look at Chen Chen frequently.

The twins still refused to admit defeat and decided to take out their textbooks and take a test. After all, they have always been among the top three in the grade, so they can never lose in studying, right?

As a result, they just want to cry when playing games and chess, but when it comes to studying, they really cry!

From multiplication tables to poetry, from arithmetic to equations, from drawing to writing, and even English...

Without exception, they all lost miserably!

The child who had never suffered any setbacks, had a good family background, was well-born, well-educated, and had been pampered since childhood, suffered the biggest blow in the past twelve or thirteen years. He lowered his head, sobbed with his shoulders shaking, and cried like a helpless child of two or three years old.

They are obviously much bigger than dust, but they can't beat them in playing games, playing chess, or even studying. Are they really that useless?

Were all their previous honors given to them by others in a deceitful way?

Su Taotao was somewhat embarrassed. It seemed like nothing she said was right at this moment. Should she scold Chenchen for showing mercy and giving in to his elder brother?

Doesn't that seem wrong? Isn't this just hitting people in the heart?

They say my son has been invincible in the base since he was young. Isn’t it unfair that you lost?

It also seems like showing off.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Shangfeng's house to pay New Year's greetings, but ended up beating his two grandsons until they burst into tears. I really don't know how this will end.

Unexpectedly, the old man burst into laughter: "Well done, Chenchen! Zhengtu, your son is even better than you, you have taught him so well."

His two grandsons were already outstanding talents, and his son Fu Zhengtu could be described as a genius that only appears once in a century.

The old man pulled his two grandsons to his side and said, "You two, you think you are special because you are smart, don't you? Now you know that there are always people better than you, right?"

His two grandsons seemed to be flawless, with peaceful personalities and humble manners.

However, having no shortcomings is actually their biggest shortcoming. They hide their arrogance under the guise of good upbringing. They always think they are number one and are praised by everyone who sees them. Even if they are very happy and think "you are not as good as me", they will pretend to be humble.

Over time, they could no longer distinguish between true humility and false humility.

If such people encounter setbacks when they grow up, it will be fatal.

Chen Chen's appearance was just right, allowing them to see what it means to be outsiders and outsiders.

It is easier to correct a minor blow than to correct it once the character has been formed.

Chenchen was a little bit at a loss. He knew he was very powerful, but he was used to showing mercy to people of the same age like Pangpang.

But he had won many games against his uncle, Uncle Mumu, and Uncle Kangzi since he was a child. When playing against kids older than him, he would usually just do whatever he wanted without thinking too much.

But who would have thought that they would really cry. Uncle Mumu and Uncle Kangzi lost, so at most they would howl a few times and be tickled, but they wouldn't cry.

"Don't cry, I'll let you win next time, okay? My uncle and Uncle Mumu are older than you, and they often lose to me!"

So it's normal for you to lose to me? Chen Chen was smart enough not to say the latter part to his face.

It would have been better if Chenchen hadn't said anything. After he said this, the two brothers no longer cared about face or reserve and just burst into tears!

It scared Chen Chen so much that he didn't know what to do.

"Chenchen, come here." The old man waved at Chenchen with a smile.

Chenchen looked at his parents, then at his grandfather. Only when his father gestured did he walk towards his grandfather.

It's New Year's Day, and crying like this really doesn't look good. Chenchen bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I shouldn't have won over my brothers."

The old man sighed and touched the child's head: "Chenchen, you are right, no need to apologize, they are the ones who can't afford to lose, they are the ones who should apologize."

The old man asked the twins in a gentle tone: "Have you two finished crying?"

The two brothers sobbed and said, "Grandpa, uh, Grandpa, cry, cry it up..."

She was crying so hard on this New Year's Day that I could only speak through her burps.

The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's the big deal? Just because you never lost before doesn't mean you won't lose now or in the future. Isn't it normal to win and lose when playing games? Is it worth it for you to cry like this? Chenchen is scared. He won't dare to play with you next time."

It’s not like the twin brothers have never lost before, but this is the first time they have been crushed like this.

Chen Chen pursed his lips. He really wouldn't dare to play with them next time.

The two brothers were good kids after all. The elder brother said, "Chen uh Chen Chen, I'm sorry, I, uh, we didn't, didn't rush, rush you, we just, just..."

Just like what grandpa said, I can't afford to lose and I feel like I can't afford to lose this person.

Chen Chen shook his head: "It doesn't matter. If I met someone younger than me and beat me, I would probably cry too."

Chenchen loses to his father most of the time, and occasionally loses to his uncle, but he accepts it calmly and just learns from the experience and beats them next time.

He still can't play the Rubik's Cube as well as his dad, but he didn't cry.

However, no one younger than him who could defeat him had appeared yet, so Chenchen didn't know whether he would cry or not.

In fact, even if Chen Chen loses to someone younger than himself, he won't cry. He will just think of ways to defeat him next time and keep fighting.

This is the importance of Fu Zhengtu's intelligence and bloodline suppression. He is the one who keeps Chen Chen in a fighting state, and the reason why Chen Chen has not gone crazy or reckless until now.

Chen Chen's strength is all-round, from technical to psychological.

The two brothers: “…………” The tears that they had held back with great difficulty were about to flow out again.

After leaving the tutor's house, Chenchen, who was still holding his mother's hand, was still a little distressed.

Although he finally made peace with his brothers, he was still a little distressed.

"Chenchen, are you still thinking about what happened just now?" Su Taotao asked.

Chen Chen nodded: "Mom, can I never have fun to my heart's content from now on?"

If the opponent cries when he loses, then he really doesn't know what to do.

Su Taotao shook her head: "Didn't Grandpa just say that? What does it have to do with you if others can't afford to lose? Chenchen doesn't need to take the blame for others' mistakes on himself. Chenchen just needs to follow his own heart."

It doesn't make sense to ask children of a few years old to accommodate older children.

"But Chenchen can first explain the rules to his opponent in the future. Since he has entered the game, he should bear the consequences of winning or losing. Enjoying the process is more important than the result. He should be able to afford to win, but also be able to afford to lose."

Chen Chen thought about it and nodded: "Okay, Mom, I get it. Winning or losing is not important. What's more important is to enjoy the process. Going all out is also a kind of respect for the opponent."

Su Taotao and Fu Zhengtu looked at each other and saw the relief in each other's eyes.

The family of three held hands, and Su Taotao said:

"Dust has always been great, but never arrogant or complacent. Mom and Dad are proud of you."

Chen Chen smiled shyly: "Because my dad and mom are great too."
