Xiaoshan Yi saw a hint of teasing in Kato Megumi's eyes.
No, Kato.
Kato Megumi went to the kitchen, leaving Xiaoshan Yi and Kato Shan, two grown men, sitting awkwardly in the living room.
……
What should I do? I miss her in those fifteen seconds without Kato.
Xiao Shanyi was so embarrassed that he was sweating. Why doesn't Kato's father speak? Should I take the initiative to talk to him? But what if he doesn't want to talk?
Katoyama was also in a complicated mood at this time. Should he interrogate this boy? This boy is so handsome, is he reliable? But what if he scares this boy? What if Xiaohui ignores me? And Xiaohui said that this boy really takes care of her, but why doesn't he speak? How can I understand you if you don't speak? If I don't understand you, can I let my daughter date you? Alas, young people nowadays don't understand the difficulties of being a parent at all.
And just like that, the two men sat facing each other with their eyes wide open.
In the kitchen, Kato Kyoko looked at Kato Megumi who was slowly making tea with a smile.
"What? Xiaohui, aren't you worried at all?"
Kato Kyoko said meaningfully.
"When your father first went to your grandfather's house, he was so nervous that he couldn't even open his mouth."
"Well, so when my father first met my grandfather and greeted him, he patted my grandfather on the shoulder."
Although it was Kato Kyoko who told Kato Megumi about this matter, when he heard his daughter say this, he seemed to see again Kato Yama's clumsy appearance at that time, as well as his father's confused look after he patted his father on the shoulder, and Kato Yama's embarrassed look.
"Haha, your dad is indeed very... cute in this respect."
Kato Kyoko smiled.
"So, you are so confident in Xiaoshan-san?"
Kato Megumi concentrated on making tea.
"Well, Xiaoshan is very good, and his father is not a grandfather."
Kato Megumi paused when she said this.
"Xiao Shan is not my father either."
Is this so?
Kato Kyoko looked at the tea that Kato Hui had brewed and said meaningfully, "Xiao Hui, the tea on the podium looks a bit strong. You may have put too much tea leaves in it."
After hearing what Kato Kyoko said, Kato Megumi stopped making tea.
"It's okay, just give this cup to dad."
After saying that, he picked up another cup and made another one.
When Kato Kyoko saw this scene, she smiled and shook her head.
Girl, it's normal to be worried. After all, your grandma called me to the kitchen and broke three teacups.
On the other side, in the living room, the silence between Xiaoshan Yi and Kato Shan was finally broken, and Xiaoshan Yi took the initiative to initiate the conversation.
"Uncle, the weather is nice today."
After Xiao Shanyi finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself in the face. Is this what you call opening a topic? How do you respond when others answer your question?
"Yes."
Kato-san responded.
"..."
"Your last name is Xiaoshan, right?"
In the end, it was Kato-san who brought up the topic.
"Yes, my full name is Xiao Shan Yi."
Katoyama nodded after hearing this. Ever since Xiaoshan Yi sat down in front of him, he has been observing Xiaoshan Yi. There is nothing to say about his appearance and his manners are also good. After sitting down, he behaved very well without any small movements or random glances.
"What does your family do?"
Hey, what's the problem?
When Xiaoshan Yi heard Katoyama's question, he was stunned at first, but then he answered honestly.
"My father is a school principal, my mother is a housewife, and I have three older sisters."
After listening to this, Katosan nodded and said nothing.
Xiao Shanyi was confused again. What was going on?
In fact, Katoyama also wanted to ask something else, but when his father-in-law asked him that year, his mind went blank and he only remembered these two questions.
"I heard that you and Xiaohui are in the chess club?"
"correct."
"Give me a plate."
"what?"
"What, is there a problem?"
Katoyama's majestic voice sounded, his eyes looking straight at Xiaoshan Yi.
"No, no, not at all."
Xiao Shanyi said quickly.
After listening to this, Kato-san silently took the chessboard.
Just when Xiaoshan Yi was about to take the black piece, he found that Katoyama had already placed the black piece on his territory.
"Why, you don't know how to pose?"
"Ah, no."
Xiao Shanyi had no choice but to give up and chose the red chess piece that made the first move.
After the two of them set up their chess pieces, Xiaoshan Yi saw that Katoyama didn't move, and it seemed that he also knew that the red chess piece would move first.
So the question is, with my professional 9th dan strength, winning should not be a problem, but should I win? How can I lose naturally?
"What else are you thinking about?"
Katosan's voice rang out.
"Ah, nothing, I'll start now."
Xiao Shanyi picked up the cannon and took a step forward. Forget it, let's just deal with it.
Katoyama jumps the horse.
Xiaoshan Yi also jumped on a horse.
Sergeant Kato Yamagami.
Xiao Shanyi got out of the car.
Both sides come and go.
After about ten rounds, Xiaoshan Yi realized that something was wrong with Katoyama. He was actually at a disadvantage, absolutely at a disadvantage. Although he did not take it seriously at the beginning, he would never be so far behind.
Xiaoshan Yi raised his head and looked at Katosan again.
Katosan smiled slightly at this time.
"It's your turn."
"Yes."
Xiao Shanyi's slackness had disappeared, his eyes were full of seriousness, he picked up a chess piece in his hand and dropped it on the chessboard with a snap.
This time, I'm going to win.
Chapter 47: Immovable as a mountain, Mount Kato
Lose...lose.
Xiao Shanyi picked up a chess piece and couldn't put it down for a long time.
Seeing that the red chess piece was at its wit's end, Xiao Shanyi calmly gave up struggling.
"I lost."
Katoyama nodded. Some people seem to be perfect in everything they do when things are going well, but once they fail, their true colors will be revealed. They will escape and dare not face failure, or their hearts will be filled with jealousy, anger and other emotions.
Katoyama looked at Xiaoshan Yi, who had a gleam of unwillingness in his eyes but was full of fighting spirit and excitement, and Katoyama was very satisfied.
"Xiaoshan, would you like another plate?"
"I couldn't ask for more. Please play another round with me."
Xiao Shanyi said excitedly.
Katoyama smiled slightly. He had the same look when he was learning chess from his master.
Soon, the two men rearranged their formation.
Knowing that Katoyama was a master, Xiaoshan Yi put in his utmost effort this time.
The super offensive style of play was displayed to the fullest, with decisive attacks and continuous attacks on Katoyama's handsome pieces.
But Katoyama kept smiling and calmly resolved Xiaoshan Yi's wave after wave of attacks.
As the saying goes, if you defend for too long, you will lose. The same is true for attack. Xiaoshan Yi's crazy attack not only failed to achieve any results, but also revealed some flaws. Katoyama seized these flaws and secured the victory in one fell swoop.
Lost again.
Xiao Shanyi smiled bitterly. He could say that he had tried his best in this game, but still failed to break through the defense line set up by Katoyama. He felt that Katoyama's chess style was like a mountain, steady and heavy. Once he broke through his first line of defense, he would immediately face tighter defense. It was really like a mountain. The deeper the stone was, the denser and harder it was.
"Xiaoshan, do you want another one?"
"It must be so."
When Kato Megumi brought out the tea, she saw Xiaoshan Yi looking at the chessboard with a frown on his face, while Kato San was looking at Xiaoshan Yi with a smile, with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
When did Dad become so optimistic about Xiaoshan?
"Dad, Xiaoshan, have some tea."
