72 Let’s Have a Round; Lin Fan’s Secrets
Looking at Song Jiaxin, who was walking over slowly, even Lin Fan was a little stunned.
It was as if this was the first time a fairy had descended to the mortal world.
Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of Truth to observe Song Jiaxin.
[Face value: 97]
[Favorability: 75]
Lin Fan clearly remembered that the first time he met Song Jiaxin, her face value was 95, and her favorability was 60.
Now, after dressing up, her face value had directly increased to 97.
One could not be fooled by a mere two points.
However, that was an additional two points on top of her 95 points in good looks, which was very rare.
Also, when did her favorability increase so much?
At this moment, Song Jiaxin had already walked in front of everyone.
“Happy birthday, Big Sis Jiaxin,” a young man said. At the same time, he handed over a beautifully wrapped gift.
“Thank you,” she said. Song Jiaxin smiled and accepted it.
After someone took the lead, everyone present also handed out their gifts.
“Happy birthday,” Lin Fan said.
“Thank you,” she said. Song Jiaxin maintained her smile.
Then, three grills were carried up.
Top-grade beef, meat skewers, Australian lobsters, sea cucumbers, abalones, and other ingredients were also served.
The place was filled with a group of young people. They were chatting and barbecuing at the same time. They were all having a great time, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Liu Yuhang saw the chessboard in the backyard and said, “Brother Lin Fan, how about we play a game of chess?”
The constant barbecue was starting to bore Lin Fan out.
“Sure,” he replied.
The two of them quickly sat opposite each other and set up the chessboard.
Liu Yuhang chuckled and said, “Brother Lin Fan, I lost to you in the race last time. Today, I’m going to use chess to get back at you. I’ll let you go first. What do you think?”
“You want me to go first?” Lin Fan asked curiously.
After all, he now had Professional Chess Skills.
Liu Yuhang wanted to compete with him?
Was this not courting death?
“Brother Lin Fan, I’m not looking down on you,” Liu Yuhang said. “It’s just that my skills are too good!”
After he finished speaking, he fired the cannon.
Lin Fan followed.
The two of them continued to move the chess pieces on the board.
Liu Yuhang’s chess skills were quite good. He had the ability to predict every move Lin Fan made.
Ordinary people might not be his match.
However, the person he was facing now was Lin Fan.
Not long after, Liu Yuhang’s brows furrowed deeply.
“I lose,” he said helplessly.
“Liu Yuhang lost in chess?” someone said.
“No way? Didn’t he win an award before?” the person beside him said.
Sun Luguo’s face revealed a hint of surprise.
In the past, Liu Yuhang’s chess skills were famous in the circle.
In fact, he could be said to be invincible!
There was a time when Liu Yuhang would often show off his chess skills in front of him.
Just like this… he lost?
Liu Yuhang said, “Brother Lin Fan, your skills really surprised me! It seems like I really can’t let this slide. Let’s play another round.”
Lin Fan nodded his head.
The people around them had a look of realization on their faces.
It turned out that Liu Yuhang had just given up.
No wonder he lost.
At this moment, the crowd was also a little interested. Some were holding their food and some were drinking red wine, but they stood aside quietly watching the two play chess.
“General!”
“General!”
“General, eat the carriage!”
Lin Fan attacked a few times, and in the end, he ate Liu Yuhang’s chess piece.
Everyone was secretly amazed.
As today’s main character, Song Jiaxin’s beautiful eyes also slightly wavered.
As everyone’s attention was focused on the chess game, a white-haired old man slowly walked over.
Lin Fan continued to move the carriage, horse, and cannon. Very quickly, he said, “General!”
“I lost,” Liu Yuhang said, sighing.
The old man could not help but say, “Young man, your skills are not bad!”
“Grandpa, when did you come over?” Song Jiaxin smiled as she held onto the old man’s arm.
“Hello, Grandpa Song,” the crowd greeted.
Song Wenming smiled and nodded at everyone as a form of greeting.
“I’ve only been here for a while,” he said.
Then, he smiled at Lin Fan, “I rarely see a young man like you who has such skills in chess.”
“Grandpa Song, you’re overpraising me. I only know a little bit,” Lin Fan said.
“Young man, you’re too humble,” Song Wenming said. “Are you interested in playing a game with me?”
Liu Yuhang quickly stood up and gave up his seat.
“Grandpa Song, please,” Lin Fan said.
After the player was changed to Song Wenming, everyone paid even more attention.
They almost surrounded the entire chessboard.
“Eat the soldiers!”
“Fire the cannons!”
“Vault!”
“General!”
In the courtyard, sounds could be heard from time to time.
However, not long after, the sounds stopped.
This time, Song Wenming paused for a long time.
“I lost,” he finally said.
“Grandpa Song, thanks for going easy on me,” Lin Fan said.
Song Wenming smiled and shook his head. “You’re very careful with your moves. Your layout is also very clever. You should know how to play Go, right?”
“I know a little,” Lin Fan said.
“Is that so?” Song Wenming was a little surprised and said, “Then let’s play a game of Go.”
As he spoke, Song Wenming turned the chessboard around. It was a Go board.
“Young man, you first.”
“Alright,” Lin Fan said.
He did not hesitate. He picked up a black piece and placed it in the center.
“Huh? You’re starting with Sky Origin?” Song Wenming was surprised.
He thought for a moment and placed the white piece in the star position.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
The two of them went back and forth, continuously placing pieces, causing a rhythmic knocking sound to ring out in the backyard.
Most ordinary people might have only seen Go on TV.
In reality, they did not know the rules of go at all. In fact, they had never even touched Go before.
However, everyone present belonged to the upper class circle of Jiangbei.
They had received all kinds of training since they were young.
Go was one of them.
They might not be good at Go, but they still knew the basic rules.
At the start, they could still follow the thought process of Lin Fan and Song Wenming.
However, it did not take long for everyone’s eyes to blur, and their minds gradually became a little dazed.
This was a result of the huge difference in their Go skills.
Thud!
At this moment, Lin Fan placed another piece down.
Song Wenming, on the other hand, did not make another move.
After a long time, he sighed and said, “I’ve lost.”
When everyone heard that, they looked at Lin Fan with even more surprise.
Old Master Song was a famous Go expert!
Song Jiaxin, on the other hand, was staring at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes.
She looked at Lin Fan’s actions of holding and placing a piece. His focused expression made her a little stunned.
When Lin Fan finally won, Song Jiaxin’s heart started to beat even faster.
He had good grades in mathematics and was good at driving.
Now… he was even so skilled at chess and Go.
‘Lin Fan, just how many more secrets do you have?’
