Rebel Demon King

Chapter 19
Wang Shanhai sent Cheng Mo out of the villa. The wind in May was cool, mixed with a light to ethereal floral fragrance, but it was even more refreshing.

Wang Shanhai stood at the door and patted Cheng Mo's shoulder and said, "Sorry, Cheng Mo, I couldn't help you much, but when Dr. Li returns from abroad, I will ask him to contact you."

Cheng Mo's hair was a little messy in the wind. He turned to Wang Shanhai and said, "Wang 嗲嗲, you are too kind. This has already helped a lot. Thank you very much." The strap of the backpack bowed to Wang Shanhai again.

Cheng Mo didn't mind using more than a few times as a means of being polite, a means of gaining goodwill without paying the slightest cost.

Of course, you have to be polite, and you can't let others think that your humility is very cheap.

Wang Shanhai looked at Cheng Mo's calm face and said, "I will come and sit often in the future. I gave you my phone number just now. You can call me if you have anything."

Cheng Mo nodded and said, "Okay, then Wang 嗲嗲, I'll go back." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the path by the lake.

Wang Shanhai warned again: "Be careful on the road." Seeing Chengmo just waved his hand and didn't turn his head back, he felt that he was doing too much. This child is smarter than he imagined, but he is too mature and has no trace of it. Youth should have the vigor.

Thinking of Cheng's father and son, Wang Shanhai couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Ouch!Bad luck, bad luck.

Wang Shanhai put his hands behind his back and watched Cheng Mo's back gradually drifting away. He didn't turn around until he disappeared under the shade of the tree and entered the house. At this moment, Xie Minyun was already standing at the entrance to change his shoes.

Xie Minyun put the handbag and coat on the shoe cabinet, and then bent over to get the shoes. Hearing the sound of the door closing, he turned to look at Wang Shanhai and said, "Grandpa, I'm leaving too, there is piano lessons in the afternoon."

There is no usual closeness in the tone, and there is a faint sense of resentment, but this kind of resentment is not deliberately directed at a certain person, but a kind of boredom after failure. No worries about winning.

Wang Shanhai said: "Wait, I have a few more words to tell you."

Xie Minyun didn't speak, just put the shoe in his hand aside, and followed Wang Shanhai back to the living room in silence. Silence is an attitude.

As the two walked towards the living room, Wang Shanhai said without looking back, "Do you remember Cheng Yongze, Uncle Cheng, who you liked very much when you were a child?"

This kind of beginning was a little unexpected to Xie Minyun. She originally thought that her grandfather was going to give her an ideological education class, to be humble, to guard against arrogance and rashness. But she did not expect such a beginning, Xie Minyun carefully recalled Cheng Yongze, and froze. He frowned, then stretched out his magnolia-like cheeks, and his flawless face suddenly flushed a tinge of red, and then said, "I don't remember."

Wang Shanhai didn't stop in the living room, but walked directly to the four glass doors that led into the lake. He pushed open the glass doors, and a cool breeze came in immediately. Xie Minyun, who was thinly dressed, couldn't help shivering.

The afternoon in May is the most pleasant time in Xingcheng. There is no hot summer, no cold and wet winter, the sun is just right, and the breeze is not noisy, especially in a place with beautiful scenery like the Academy of Social Sciences, the green shade is swaying gently With a rustling sound, Yuejin Lake shines with silver light, creating a layered visual beauty.

Wang Shanhai bent down and sat directly on the wooden corridor outside, facing the laurel tree and the leaping lake.

The hunched body and fluttering white hair became Wang Shanhai's brief comments. At this moment, Xie Minyun felt that his grandfather, who had always maintained a childlike innocence, was beginning to grow old.

Wang Shanhai said softly: "Uncle Cheng, who you cried when you were a child and called for marriage, died, and Cheng Mo was his son."

Xie Minyun, who was standing beside Wang Shanhai, said with some dissatisfaction at first: "Who is crying?" But before he finished speaking, he turned into a somewhat surprised voice: "Dead?"

Wang Shanhai put his hands on his knees, and said plainly: "The hero is lonely, Tian jealous Yingcai doesn't say this, and I told you not to go is not to say this, I want to ask you, did you understand anything just now?"

Although it was a bit unexpected, Xie Minyun quickly got rid of his memories and emotions. After all, it was when he was six or seven years old. The impression of Cheng Yongze has long been blurred. The only thing I still remember is that Cheng Yongze was very It's good-looking, the story told is very interesting, and at the same time, the disdain for Cheng Mo's pride has been eliminated a lot.

Xie Minyun stood beside Wang Shanhai and said suspiciously, "Grandpa, I'll just say, you didn't ask this kid to teach me a lesson, did you? Did he prepare it long ago, so the answer is not leaking?"

Wang Shanhai looked at the distance and said lightly: "The mountain is close to the moon and the moon is small, so the mountain is bigger than the moon. If a person has eyes larger than the sky, he should see that the mountain is high and the moon is wider." (Note 1)

When Xie Minyun heard Wang Shanhai's tone, she knew she was wrong, but she was still a little unconvinced: "Is it such a coincidence?"

Wang Shanhai laughed this time and said, "This is a matter of probability"

Xie Minyun sat down beside Wang Shanhai, and the breeze touched her waterfall-like hair, which calmed her originally anxious heart, she said, "But you didn't say that Uncle Li likes him just now, you must Did he get him to study at Peking University? He is in class (9), he can't even get into Peking University, and he has to rely on relationships. Even if such a person has some talent, his future achievements must be limited. I hate him the most. A person who thinks that he is living with the thinking of a wise man, but when he encounters trouble, he still just wants to take shortcuts, this kind of person is actually just a little smart ordinary person!"

Wang Shanhai asked back, "Cheng Mo is in class (9)?"

Xie Minyun said: "He said it himself."

Wang Shanhai chuckled and said, "Children like Cheng Mo are the same everywhere."

Xie Minyun was a little unhappy with Wang Shanhai's preference for Cheng Mo, but she knew that her grandfather had always been very accurate, so she frowned and asked, "What does he have to be so highly regarded by you?"

Wang Shanhai said: "Do you know why Cheng Mo said just now that he can't play Go?"

Xie Minyun said confidently: "It's just that I really don't know how to play or know how to play."

Wang Shanhaidao: "His father's chess skills are at least [-] dan, and his father once told me that his son's chess skills are not weaker than him, but unfortunately limited by physical strength, he can only play fast chess, otherwise it is more than enough to be a professional chess player. . He didn't play with you, it's really because the game of chess just now has entered a dead end. Nine times out of ten, he can't play it. But who is a young man who has no heart to win or lose? With his chess skills, he should be able to fight. If you are in this situation, would you want to try it when your strength is far superior to your opponent, after all, the opponent may still make mistakes! What's more, the opponent is still a beautiful girl?"

Xie Minyun opened his mouth slightly, wanting to question, but did not speak.

Wang Shanhai continued: "Cheng Mo is also like his father in this respect, he never does anything unsure and meaningless, he doesn't look alike, but his character is really carved out of a mold and he will strive for victory, but he never does anything. If you follow the trend, there will never be a winner or loser.”

"When I gave you this name, I felt a little regretful. My original intention was to hope that you could become Xie Jiayushu like Xie Daoyun (Note 2), but later I felt that the name was too big, so I gave it to you again. You are called Xiao Jin, you are talented, but you have a strong will to win or lose. Once a person has the will to win or lose, it is easy to be too persistent. If you care about winning or losing, then you must be the loser."

Xie Minyun thought of Cheng Mo's ordinary face in silence.

Wang Shanhai reached out and stroked his granddaughter's hair with a smile: "Of course you have lived up to the name now, but you forgot the word 'Min', and I hope you have a broad mind and teach you to play Go, just to sharpen your spirit. , I hope you can calm down and discover the Zen in it, but I have been too busy to teach you, and your parents only look at your grades, not your character, now you are only arrogant, but not arrogant but silent Contrary to you, the talent is restrained, there is no arrogance, and there is arrogance, but a small Changya Middle School can have such a person, looking at the world, the peak is always outside Yunshan."
