"Wait, Ichinose, you want to play chess too?"
Wu Yi paused in his action of clearing the chessboard and couldn't help but look up with a somewhat suspicious look.
"But you've never played chess, have you?"
"I haven't done it yet."
Ichinose chuckled a little sheepishly.
"But I've been watching it for so long that I basically understand the rules a little bit. For example, the knight moves diagonally to two adjacent squares, but if there is a chess piece stuck in front of it, it can't move. And the elephant moves diagonally to four squares two times two, but if there is a chess piece in the center of the four squares, it can't move. And the cannon has to..."
It is hard to imagine that someone who has never played chess before can understand the rules clearly through observation in less than two hours without any teaching, although there are still some minor misunderstandings.
For example, the black player can move the chess pieces at will, but the red player must operate a chess piece at least three times before moving to the next chess piece.
However, this is not a problem of Ichinose's understanding, but a misunderstanding caused by Horikita Suzune's actions.
Basically, anyone who knows a little about chess knows that the biggest taboo in playing chess is to move one piece multiple times.
Horikita Suzune likes to move one piece around very much. She runs around on the chessboard with a cannon, hiding here and there like she's fighting a guerrilla war. She basically won't move to the next piece until she is killed by Wu Yi.
Therefore, Wu Yi often joked that what she was playing was not a strategy game, but a third-person shooter game.
But since they insisted so much, Wu Yi couldn't refuse anymore, so he sat down on the sofa again and made a gesture of invitation.
"Then... try it?
"Uh-huh!"
Having his challenge accepted, Ichinose nodded happily, and excitedly moved to the sofa where Horikita Suzune had sat before, and began to arrange his troops in a proper manner.
I have to say, even though I only watched for over an hour, Ichinose's chess skills were actually much better than that of a certain cold-faced, stinky little sister.
Unlike Horikita Suzune who only focused on one chess piece, she basically followed Wu Yi's tactics, using cannons and horses to protect the front, sending out soldiers and chariots, and using cannons to suppress the passage.
These three moves really took Wu Yi by surprise, and he almost thought that Ichinose was a hidden chess expert.
Unfortunately, this kind of operation only lasted for the first four or five rounds. From the sixth round, the operation gradually became clumsy and revealed its true colors. Finally, in the fifth minute, Wu Yi pinned him down at his home with only one horse and one cart.
"Ah... I lost, I lost~"
Even though he lost miserably, Ichinose didn't seem to have any negative emotions at all and accepted his defeat very calmly.
After all, as a super novice who can't even be considered a beginner, it's not surprising to lose the game.
"Well, it's almost time for dinner."
Looking intently at Wu Yi who was skillfully arranging the chessboard, Ichinose spoke in a casual tone.
"Hey, Wu Yi."
"Ok?"
Wu Yi didn't even raise his head.
"I said……"
Ichinose dragged out the tone a little, and his voice suddenly became playful, speaking in a joking tone.
"How about you take on the position of acting student council president?"
“…What’s the reason?”
Wu Yi also expected that the other party might drag him to stay to talk about this matter, so he raised his eyebrows and was not too surprised.
"I just don't want to be one anymore~"
Ichinose stretched out his body, lay down on the sofa behind him like a salted fish, and giggled.
"I can't help it. Being the student council president is really too tiring. Managing the class already takes a lot of thought, and I have to deal with student council affairs on the side. It's too tiring!"
"Are you tired? When I came here before, I asked you if you were busy, and didn't you say you weren't?" Wu Yi asked jokingly.
"Um... I was just saying..."
Ichinose scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Student Wu Yi, didn't you have this experience when you were a kid? For example, when you were eating fish at home, your mother said she liked to eat the fish tail in order to save the belly for you."
"That has never happened."
Wu Yi was stunned.
"In my family, each person usually gets one, and my mom eats two. Since I don't like fish, my fish is hers."
"That sounds so petty..."
Ichinose Honami pouted in a pretentious manner, but soon smiled again.
"But it's like this in my family. Because we don't have much money, my mother always leaves the fish belly for me and my sister to eat, and she eats the fish tail which has little meat and many bones."
"I can probably understand what you mean." Wu Yi nodded, then spread his hands, "But if Ichinose, you are referring to yourself, then again, you are not my mother..."
"Uh……"
Hearing this, Ichinose Honami paused for a moment, and after a moment she touched her face a little embarrassedly.
"Student Wu Yi, you make it seem like we are playing some weird role-playing game."
Mother and son role play, right?
Wu Yi shook her head slightly: "It's not that you don't want to be the student union president, but you're afraid that you won't be able to do it well, right?"
"Eh?"
Having her true thoughts revealed, Ichinose Honami couldn't help but panic.
"No, I really just..."
"Do you want to say that what you just said was the truth from your heart?" Wu Yi asked again indifferently.
"That...I..."
After hesitating for a long time, Ichinose finally gave up struggling, lowered his head and spoke softly.
"I'm sorry... Because of this matter, Mr. Xing Zhigong has been asking me to think about it more and advised me not to give up and to get used to it slowly. I'm afraid that you, Wu Yi, will say the same thing to me, so..."
"You're kidding, I wouldn't say that."
Wu Yi was a little speechless.
"Everyone has the right to decide what they want to do. Other people's suggestions and opinions are just for reference at best. But conversely, when you decide to follow your own ideas to do something, it means that you are ready to take full responsibility for the consequences of this matter... If you really want to do this, then do it. But since it is the path you have chosen, you have to finish it even if you have to kneel down. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, I know."
Ichinose's voice was extremely soft.
"Nothing, what I said is just a suggestion."
After collecting all the remaining chess pieces, Wu Yi picked up the plastic bag and was about to stand up.
"Okay, time to go..."
"Ah wait!"
Before she finished her words, Ichinose took the lead to stand up from the sofa. She stopped Wu Yi who was about to leave, took two steps at a time and went around behind him, and put her hands on his shoulders to hold him down.
"Uh what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just saw that you looked tired after sitting on the sofa for two hours, so I wanted to help you with a massage..."
massage? ? ?
Wu Yi was full of questions.
"No, actually it's okay, not that tired..."
"Oh, don't talk about that. Just close your eyes and enjoy it."
Ichinose half-forced Wu Yi to lean back into the sofa, with her head tilted back and resting on the soft backrest, while she gently kneaded Wu Yi's shoulders with both hands.
"How are you? Are you comfortable?"
"It's...pretty good." Wu Yi told the truth.
"Hey, huh?"
Ichinose smiled a little smugly.
"My mother said the same thing. Because my mother is very busy at work, I would give her a massage like this when she came home at night... By the way, classmate Wu Yi, are you closing your eyes properly now?"
"It's closed, what's wrong?"
After Wu Yi said this, he felt like something was wrong.
"nothing……"
Ichinose's voice came from far away and approached in an instant.
The next second, he felt a light sensation on the bridge of his nose, and the two temples of his sunglasses scratched across his temples on both sides like an itch, followed by two cool and soft petals of air imprinted on his forehead, accompanied by the girl's unclear murmur.
"Everyone has the power to decide what to do. That's what you said, Wu Yi~"
Volume 302: Chapter You smell like her perfume
Ichinose's kiss was as gentle as a dragonfly touching the water.
The extremely thin-skinned girl didn't even dare to stay for a few tenths of a second and decisively chose to retreat.
When Wu Yi felt his sunglasses return to his face, he slowly opened his eyes.
Through the burgundy filter in front of his eyes, he saw... well, he saw nothing, because there were two towering mountains that completely blocked his view.
If Ichinose was a few centimeters shorter, then the two peaks would have directly pressed on Wu Yi's face and killed him. Unfortunately, he couldn't be killed. If only.
"Cough cough..."
With an obviously deliberate cough, Ichinose covered his lips with one hand and retreated backwards little by little with blushing cheeks.
As the two mountains hanging in the sky moved away, the bright lights in the office were finally able to fall again.
Wu Yi was still lying on the sofa without moving, and Ichinose felt particularly guilty because he couldn't see this guy's gaze through his sunglasses.
Strangely enough, the moment she was kissed just now, she felt as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened, and an unyielding emotion rushed straight to her soul.
But after the kiss, that courage seemed to have been used up all at once and disappeared without a trace.
"Gu..."
Being stared at by the pair of eyes behind the sunglasses, Ichinose made a rather uncomfortable sound.
"Student Wu, Wu Yi, please say something..."
"..."
Wu Yi was still lying on the sofa, motionless.
Ichinose, who was feeling frightened, couldn't bear it anymore, and she did something really cute.
She...quickly ran to the desk on the other side of the office, covered her body tightly with the documents on the desk, and only poked half of her head out from the side to look cautiously towards the sofa.
In this way, if Wu Yi still wanted to see her, he had to turn his head.
The fact is that Wu Yi did turn his head, but still didn't speak.
The two of them stared at each other across the entire office.
Once again, it was Ichinose who couldn't bear it first and was forced to retract half of his head back into the pile of documents. After a while, he seemed to feel that this was not a good way to go on, so he stood up from behind his desk reluctantly and moved to the sofa step by step.
During the entire process, the direction of Wu Yi's face also changed in real time as the girl's position changed.
However, just as Ichinose stretched out his hand to touch it, a subtle buzzing sound rang out between the two of them.
Ichinose naturally heard it as well, but she didn't know what happened and just paused in reaching out her hand.
Wu Yi's expression changed slightly under his sunglasses. He reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone. He glanced at the caller ID and answered it. He put it to his ear and spoke as usual.
"Hello? Hirata?"
"Oh, is this Wu Yi-san?"
Hirata's voice, which sounded like he had just finished exercising, came from the other end of the line.
"Sorry, I'm a little late. My club activities just ended. I paid attention today as you asked, but I didn't see anyone from Class C on the playground."
Ok?
Wu Yi thought about it for a moment and immediately realized what the other party was saying, and then responded.
