Chapter 214 Advance schedule
“Um, son... doesn’t the Siege of the Great War start the day after tomorrow in the afternoon? Why did you suddenly leave half a day early?”
Noon of July 27th , Dongjiang City, Dongjiang Garden Community.
Lei Jingming, who stayed at home, was stunned when he saw his son suddenly trying to leave with his backpack.
Because according to the original plan, Lei Qi should take the high-speed train to Bianzhou City early tomorrow morning to participate in the opening ceremony and the first and second rounds of the Siege League on July 30. At the same time, the national championship will also be on August 2 at the same venue.
Yes, after a series of coordination by the Chess Association, the opening ceremony and the first and second rounds of Weijia were arranged to be held in Bianzhou City, just in time between the national championship preliminaries and this competition.
As for why...
Well, after the "extravagance" of the chess holy war, the chess association will have to live a hard life in the second half of the year, so it can be merged Try to do this if you want to hold the event in one location to save money.
Of course, most chess players are also happy to see this: after all, the vast majority of the backbone chess players participating in the Weijia competition will participate in the national championship preliminaries, and then a considerable number will advance to this competition.
If the opening ceremony and the national championship were held in two places respectively, it would be enough for them to travel back and forth!
Although most top chess players are quite accustomed to the life of rushing around to compete, but if they can't do it, no one wants to do it.
According to this schedule, Lei Qi's original plan was to go to Bianzhou on July 28th, take a day off on the 29th and strive for a good start in this year's siege in the best condition.
According to this plan, Lei Jingming and Qin Xiaoxue originally planned to cook a big meal for their son tonight, but they didn’t know that the food had been bought, and their son suddenly picked up his luggage and said it would be changed to this afternoon. ticket!
This shocked Lei Jingming, who was still at home, and looked confused, so he hurriedly asked.
However, Lei Qi's reply was unclear.
"Dad, I have something to do and I'm in a hurry to go to Bianzhou, so I changed it to today, nothing else."
But such an answer can't send Lei Jingming away!
He immediately stopped in front of the door and said:
“No, son, I’m not saying I won’t let you go, but you have to give me an explanation!
"Otherwise, if my mother comes back in the evening and asks me where you have been, and I can't answer, then I won't be able to kneel on the washboard! ”
Regarding this statement, Lei Qi complained slightly speechlessly:
"What age are we in, how can there be any washboard at home!"
However, Lao Lei Jiuduan was quite disappointed. He said in fear:
"There is no washboard at home, but your mother has a few cactus plants on the balcony..."
Celestial beings...
Hearing this Lei Qi sighed and decided to reveal the truth.
Because it does sound painful...
After all, my dear father, it’s better not to do too much.
"...I just heard the news from my senior brother, saying that Teacher Shang suddenly rushed to Bianzhou early this morning. I had something I wanted to ask him face to face, so I changed my schedule for today. Ticket.”
“Huh? If you want to ask something, can’t you?”
"No, some things still have to wait until it is appropriate to talk in person."
"It's too late to wait for another half day!"
"I just want to ask him in person today."
This time, Lei Jingming was completely confused, and he quickly asked:
“No, son, what is going on!
"I can't explain what you said to your mother!"
Seeing that his father had reached such a point, Lei Qi knew that if he didn't explain something, he might not be able to catch the car today, so he sighed. After a breath, he said:
"...My senior brother just said that the reason why Teacher Shang went to Bianzhou in advance is because your former student went to participate in the national championship preliminaries today. After learning the news, he couldn't help but worry about it, so he went to Bianzhou in advance. Change the plan and leave today.”
“Ah!”
Lei Jingming, who had no idea about this before, was suddenly shocked:
"How is that possible! She is still resting now!"
"...So Teacher Shang went there today."
There was no fluctuation in Lei Qi's voice except helplessness.
Hearing this, Lei Jingming immediately yelled and cursed:
“Damn it, this old Shang! He didn’t tell me even if such a big thing happened!”
However, when he realized that his son was staring at him wordlessly after he said these words, he realized that he had slipped his words. "...Uh, I, I mean, that...ah!
"Originally, I made an appointment with him to play online chess tonight... Judging from his behavior, I guess... It's a pigeon, so I'm a little unhappy! ”
Lei Jingming forced himself to find an excuse that could be easily solved.
Of course, with his life IQ, he could only find an excuse at this level.
But just when Lei Jingming himself felt that this reason was not very credible, Lei Qi didn't say anything more on this matter. He just said softly:
"Dad, that's the way it is, trouble. Please give in. Otherwise, I won’t be able to catch the high-speed train.”
“Oh! It’s so big!”
Halfway through, Lei Jingming realized something was wrong.
“Son, you still haven’t said what you are going to do!”
Seeing his father looking like he was going to break the pot and ask the question, Lei Qi didn't want to talk any more and simply said:
"Dad, if you keep asking this question, I will also ask you about the long day on the 24th. Why did it take so long to go for a walk..."
As soon as these words came out, Lei Jingming was speechless.
He now knows that many of his actions are just lice on a bald man's head in the eyes of his son, but he did not study them carefully for the sake of the relationship between father and son.
"Son, that Rui Zhao..."
"Dad!"
Lei Qi raised his voice to stop him:
"I don't have to know some things, but if you want to force me to pretend to be blind on top of that, ...I may really not be able to do it.
“You have also challenged the chess master twice, and you should also know that the title of [chess master], even if it is just the right to challenge, is not something you can get if you want to. .
"Everyone attaches great importance to it. Not to mention the title itself..."
Even though Lei Jingming often thinks things wrong, he still can't understand the explanations that are not so obvious.
He sighed softly, opened the door, and whispered:
"Son...well, come on for the opening game and the national championship."
" ...Yes, dad."
After saying this, Lei Qi did not hesitate at all. After changing his shoes, he simply said goodbye to his father, then left the house and prepared to take a taxi to Dongjiang Caiqiao Railway Station. .
When Lei Jingming saw his son leaving, he bit his lower lip subconsciously, and then immediately dialed the number he had dialed most frequently these days:
"...Hey, Lao Shang! Who is Rui Zhao? What's going on!
"Also, Lei Qi has just left to go to Bianzhou to find you. Do you know what's going on? ”
…
…
"...Hmm, Mom, I'm really sorry! I just left suddenly..." "Dad, he tried his best to stop me. Don't blame him, it was my own plan."
“If you really want to punish him, don’t let him kneel on the cactus.
“I think those cactus plants on the balcony are growing quite well, so don’t waste them.
“Uh... I’ll probably go to Dajing first before finishing the game. After all, all subsequent home games will be in Dajing. I’ll wait until I get back to Dongjiang to watch...
"Well, don't worry, I will definitely spend my eighteenth birthday in Dongjiang.
"That's it, Mom! I will definitely compete well with the national champions! "
After telling his mother first, Lei Qi threw the phone aside and leaned on the seat of the taxi with a complicated expression.
I... am a seventeen-year-old A chess player who has won the world championship and the right to challenge the [Chess Saint]. In the eyes of Teacher Shang... is he really inferior to a mere female anchor?
