Chapter 211 Fun
Even when she was with Xu Mingyuan, Xiao Yangzhi's face was cold in most cases. But when she picked up a chess piece with her fingers, she seemed to have a transcendent temperament.

The chess piece twisted between her white and delicate fingertips, together with her round nails, sparkled under the light. She frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and finally the white piece in her hand landed at the intersection of the squares.

"Stupid, you lose again."

Xu Mingyuan put down the chess piece and said with a smile.

"Brother is so awesome."

Yang Zhi scratched his hair and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"It's just so-so, haha..."

Xu Mingyuan separated the chess pieces and started a new game.

Xiao Yangzhi didn't know how to play any chess. The skills of checkers were simple, but they were still a bit complicated for her. However, Xu Mingyuan had anticipated this situation and bought an extra set of Gobang.

Xiao Yangzhi likes this kind of interactive game that does not require too much thinking.

Although he had never defeated Tao Shuxin once, Xu Mingyuan had no intention of getting back at Xiao Yangzhi. He just wanted to spend some time with her.

Then, he imitated Xiao Yangzhi's method. Once two chess pieces were connected in a row, he would use chess pieces to block them.

The way these two people play Gobang, there is no need to use your brain at all. The win or loss is all left to fate. It's almost no different from playing cards.

Soon, most of the chess pieces were placed, and Xiao Yangzhi finally won his first victory.

"Brother, I think I won."

Yang Zhi tapped the back of Xu Mingyuan's hand with her fingertips and said with her eyes raised.

"Not bad, not bad, you have made progress."

Xu Mingyuan put down his phone and took a look. The small poplar branches had inadvertently formed two strings of three and could no longer be blocked.

There was a break in the middle, only two or three minutes, and when Xu Mingyuan wanted to play another game, Xiao Yangzhi had already put away the chess pieces.

Seeing this, Xu Mingyuan shook his head helplessly.

It seems that the chess playing method did not work. Xiao Yangzhi had no interest in it. After she won two games, she probably didn't want to play anymore.

In fact, in little Yangzhi's eyes, playing chess is no different from watching TV. It is only more fun when playing with his brother.

Besides, my brother has started to get distracted, so it’s pointless to continue playing chess. I might as well do some sneaky moves and stay close to him.

This is what Yang Zhi is most interested in.

There are things that he likes doing more, so why would Yang Zhi like playing chess?

Xu Mingyuan knew that this method had failed, so the next day after sending Xiao Yangzhi to school, he went to visit Tao Shuxin's home again.

He wanted to learn more from Tao Shuxin about the little girl's daily life, what she did, and then teach Xiao Yangzhi.

The first time I was scared, the second time I was timid.

Although Tao Shuxin hit him twice in panic, she still took him back to the room and hid him.

Tao Shuxin doesn't like being bound by nature. She gets excited just by looking for excitement occasionally.

But this time Tao Shuxin was more careful and put on the bra in advance.

And when Xu Mingyuan hugged her, he naturally noticed it.

This unfortunate child is actually on guard against me and won’t come tomorrow.

"Tomorrow is Saturday, my mother is at home..."

Tao Shuxin reminded in a low voice like a thief.

"Ah."

After Xu Mingyuan agreed, he sent Xiao Yangzhi home on Saturday and immediately went to Jiangcheng, where he took a tour of the company and the studio.

I had a meal with the staff who stayed in the studio and didn’t return to Jiangcheng until nine o’clock in the evening. Then I went to pick up Xiao Yangzhi from evening study.

Xiao Yangzhi will have her final exam next week. On the day off on Sunday, Xu Mingyuan did not take her out for a stroll, but accompanied her for tutoring.

I wanted to ask Tao Shuxin to help Xiao Yangzhi with her lessons, but unfortunately she had just returned home and it was impossible for her to run out and play without her parents for the whole day.

After hesitating for a while, he rejected the idea of ​​visiting Xu Mingyuan's house.

Yang Zhi had pricked up her ears a long time ago, and when she heard Xu Mingyuan's regretful sigh, her eyes lit up and she became even happier.

"Brother, actually there is no need to trouble Sister Taotao, just teach me." Yang Zhi said softly.

"My level is not good enough. You have learned very well. I have nothing to teach you."

When there was no division between arts and sciences in the first year of high school, the subjects were diverse. Xu Mingyuan was mainly preparing for the college entrance examination, and he only went through some subjects roughly. Most of his points deducted in the college entrance examination were in the minor subjects, so he could teach Xiao Yangzhi the main subjects.

Yang Zhi was conflicted. The only downside to learning quickly was that it left her brother with nothing to teach her. But he finally had a day off, so wouldn't it be a pity for her to let go so easily?

But it's not good to pretend that I don't know, that would be very dishonest...

Suddenly, Yang Zhi thought of a good idea.

"Brother, I'm tired of studying..." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.

"Take a break if you're tired of studying."

Xu Mingyuan patted her shoulder and prepared to get up.

But Yang Zhi grabbed his wrist and said embarrassedly: "Brother, I want to change my mind. Can you teach me how to write?"

"Want to practice calligraphy? Sure." Xu Mingyuan sat down again.

Xu Mingyuan was forced to practice calligraphy since he was a child, and Tao Shuxin had a mother who was a teacher, so they both wrote very well, but little Yangzhi was a little worse.

Her handwriting is unconventional. Apart from learning how to write strokes in elementary school, no one has ever taught her specifically.

Xiao Yangzhi's handwriting looks small and neat, and it feels very good at a glance, but if you look closely, there are some problems with the way the strokes are written.

"Practicing calligraphy is not difficult, but it is difficult to change a long-term habit. In high school, there are a lot of homework to do, so it is okay to write a little bit, but if you want to write well, you still have to start with regular script..."

Xu Mingyuan asked Xiao Yangzhi to take a notebook and began to teach her calligraphy.

"In fact, the simpler the strokes of a character, the harder it is to write well. The space occupied by the font and each stroke must be taken into consideration. For example, the short horizontal stroke you wrote must have a certain angle. Yours is too flat..."

"Uh-huh."

Yang Zhi kept nodding his head and listened very carefully.

Xu Mingyuan taught her how to write, but Xiao Yangzhi's handwriting was too light and looked a little floating. Then he held her cool little hand and guided her to write a few strokes.

"You try it." Xu Mingyuan said as he let go of his hand.

"Ah? Oh..."

Yang Zhi shrank his head, and all his energy was focused on his hands. He didn't pay any attention to what his brother was saying. It went in one ear and out the other.

Plus I feel guilty, so it’s not as good as what I wrote just now.

"Be casual, don't focus on the strokes, just write the short horizontal stroke lightly at the front and heavy at the back, just press quickly like this, and it's done."

Xu Mingyuan took the pen and wrote on the notebook from slow to fast several times, then put down the pen.

"Brother, how about you teach me again? I can't write it well by myself..."

Seeing that her brother had no intention of blaming her, Yang Zhi's eyes became clear and bright, and she raised her head expectantly.

"fine."

Xu Mingyuan recalled how he practiced calligraphy when he was a child, and taught Xiao Yangzhi personally.

Xiao Yangzhi is not a girl who likes to try new things. The habits she has developed over the years are difficult to change, and she is slow to learn.

Xu Mingyuan taught her for a long time before he corrected her minor fault.

"Just like the character '左', it has horizontal, left, and vertical strokes. Once you have mastered this character, it will not be difficult to write other characters with this type of strokes," said Xu Mingyuan.

"Uh-huh."

Yang Zhi nodded his head with a very serious attitude, being a good and obedient student.

I asked her to write more than ten words in a row, roughly went over the strokes, and then let her write it herself.

Xu Mingyuan watched from the side and corrected him from time to time.

Xiao Yangzhi's right hand was already warm and no longer felt cold.

When Xu Mingyuan saw her curled up left hand, he touched it and found that it was ice-cold.

Xu Mingyuan glanced at his watch. From tutoring homework to practicing calligraphy, more than three hours had passed.

"Don't write anymore. It's freezing. Don't you have to do homework every day? When you feel like you're almost done with your homework, take some time to write seriously. In three to five months, you'll be able to practice good handwriting."

Xu Mingyuan took the pen from her hand and threw it aside.

Xiao Yangzhi's ears were also a little red, so Xu Mingyuan covered her cold ears and rubbed them twice.

Yang Zhi obediently picked up the notebook on the table, carefully straightened out the wrinkles, and carried it back to the room.

If you stay motionless on the table for a long time to read and write, your blood circulation will be blocked.
After Xu Mingyuan's reminder, Yang Zhi also felt cold, but her heart was warm and comfortable.

Yang Zhi was in a very good mood today, and finally found a small interaction that she liked.

This is much more interesting than playing chess, games, or even badminton.

I boiled a kettle of hot water and filled the hot water bottle. When it felt too hot, I added half of it with cold water.

The hot water bottle shouldn't be too hot, otherwise she won't have a chance to cool down...

It was unknown what Xiao Yangzhi was mumbling. Upon careful listening, Xu Mingyuan discovered that she was humming a song, which surprised him a little.

"Oh, are you in a good mood? You'll be happy now that I don't allow you to practice calligraphy, right?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"No, I really like practicing calligraphy..."

Yang Zhi felt embarrassed to hum the song anymore.

"Hmm...tsk, my handwriting style is not suitable for girls. When there is a chance, I will ask Taotao to come and teach you. Her handwriting is also good." Xu Mingyuan said after thinking for a while.

"Brother, Sister Taotao borrowed my textbook. There is her handwriting on it. It is much worse than yours. It is not as beautiful as yours."

Yang Zhi quickly reminded her that she just wanted to be like her brother...

"Haha, that's for sure. With her skills, can she compare with mine?"

Xu Mingyuan was so happy to be praised that he started to rub her hair.

Yang Zhi seized the opportunity and sneaked into his arm.

When Xu Mingyuan put down his hand, he had no choice but to put it on her shoulder...
