At half past five in the afternoon, at the entrance of the hotpot restaurant.
Bai Liu sat on the mouth of a boiling pot, next to Lu Yizhan, who was very confused after getting off work, holding a menu.
It was a rare time for him to work overtime. The unprecedented explosion yesterday made the Heresy Management Bureau take over their department at Lu Yizhan for a short time, so that ordinary people like them can stay at home without being affected.
Bai Liu told him to have hot pot later, and Lu Yizhan would be out of business.
But Lu Yizhan's trip this time is mainly to find out what happened that day.
Lu Yizhan can't understand now why the bureau has been so busy with the bombing, and the situation of the day is being broadcast urgently everywhere on the TV.
And Bai Liu, the culprit, could still sit firmly next to him, holding a cup of free barley tea from the hot pot restaurant, and shamelessly told the clerk that he would add another serving of shrimp slippery.
Unbearable, Lu Yizhan grabbed the menu and stared at Bai Liu angrily.
Bai Liu took a sip of tea slowly, and glanced at him: "Why, do you want to ask me about that day?"
"Hey!" Lu Yizhan said sadly, "Even if I ask you, you can't add more food! This is enough for six people!"
Bai Liu: "..."
This guy's brain circuit is really different from ordinary people.
Lu Yizhan hasn't mentioned a word about the explosion that day from the time we met to now, and it's as stable as Mount Tai.
If Bai Liu was sure that he did see this person that day, he might think that Lu Yizhan didn't even know that the "bomber" was him.
"You're just wondering how I blew up the rose factory—" Bai Liu turned his head and looked up at Lu Yizhan, "—and then retreated completely, can I still sit here and eat hot pot with you?"
Lu Yizhan nodded sincerely: "Curious, but let me correct a little."
Bai Liu asked: "Correct what?"
Lu Yizhan replied: "I think the factory should be blown up by you."
"Why me?" Bai Liu asked back, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"It's because I saw it with my own eyes, so I think I love you." Lu Yizhan raised his cup, took a sip, and let out a long breath, "——In terms of personality, I believe After you have made a deal with me, you will easily violate it. From a rational point of view, your favorite thing is money."
Lu Yizhan turned his head to look at Bai Liu: "Detonating such a factory, I don't think you are a vested interest, the owner of the factory, so I guess from this angle, I tend to be the perpetrator of the explosion." The factory director who was arrested, and you are just a cover for jumping out."
"I don't understand why you jumped out and took the initiative to take the blame, but I don't care about your reasons for doing things."
Lu Yizhan's conjectures were all wrong, all in the middle.
Bai Liu knew that Lu Yizhan was very smart since he was a child.
Excellent grades, strong actions, decisive actions, never hesitated in what he wanted to do, a guy with incredible perseverance and stubbornness.
Although Bai Liu has always won against Lu Yizhan in various games, Bai Liu knew very well in his heart that he could only win because Lu Yizhan was not serious.
Lu Yizhan doesn't care about winning or losing the game, he puts all his intelligence, intelligence and energy into being a good person, so usually people who know him roughly will feel that Lu Yizhan is leading a person Incomprehensible naivety and stupidity.
But Lu Yizhan is not a naive person, on the contrary, this person is very serious now - he would not accept Bailiu's trading rules so easily.
Generally speaking, a person with a very naive attitude can't accept that his friends give him compensation, which is too cold.
But Lu Yizhan doesn't care about this at all, which shows that Lu Yizhan does not fully agree with Bai Liu's trading concept.
Bai Liu held the pencil for ordering food in his hand, and turned it around in boredom: "——Play backgammon?"
Lu Yizhan held the cup preoccupied and sighed in a drawn-out tone, and refused: "--When is it, are you still playing games--"
"Win three times in a row, let me tell you the follow-up of the factory explosion that I have been worrying about." Bai Liu turned the pencil and drew a cross on the grid menu of the hot pot, and opened his eyelids, "If you can win five games in a row, I will help you with this matter."
White Liu, who had already solved the factory explosion, changed his face and fooled Lu Yizhan with the same thing.
"Deal!" Lu Yizhan quickly hooked the hook, he put down the cup abruptly, took the pen handed to him by Bai Liu, after a moment of serious thinking, carefully drew a circle on the paper.
They played chess very fast, almost at the moment when one person picked up the pen, the other started to write, and there was no such thing as a chess game that filled the entire paper and could not be resolved. The time of the game is basically controlled within one minute. If you win or lose, you will immediately tear up this piece of paper and throw it into the trash can.
By the time Tang Er opened the door, the trash can next to this person was already full of waste paper.
Lu Yizhan's concentration was so concentrated on the paper that he almost didn't notice that anyone was coming, so he quickly followed Bai Liu's back and drew circles again and again.
This situation continued until all five people arrived, and Bai Liu closed the chess paper: "Pause, eat first, so far you haven't beaten me in a row."
Lu Yizhan looked up regretfully, and was so frightened by the group of people watching them neatly in front of him that he almost turned over from behind his chair.
"Let me introduce, my new colleague." Bai Liu raised four fingers together and introduced them one by one, "Tang Erda, Mu Sicheng, Mu Ke, the children you know, Liu Jiayi, and everyone, this is my hair boy. , Lu Station."
Mu Ke politely nodded and said hello: "Hello Lu Xian."
Mu Sicheng scratched his head comfortably: "... Hello."
Tang Er nodded solemnly: "Hello."
Liu Jiayi, who was sitting on the chair shaking her feet, held her face and said sweetly to Lu Yizhan: "Hello, Uncle Lu."
Lu Yizhan looked at Liu Jiayi in shock: "What company do you work for, Bai Liu?! Why do you employ child labor?!"
"If I have to say..." Bai Liu pondered for a moment, "A small-scale star-making company?"
Lu Yizhan looked at the row of people who were neatly tidied up and tried to blind him, swallowed nervously, and asked tremblingly, "Is it legal?"
Bai Liu said slightly: "It's legal."
Lu Yizhan still wanted to ask Bai Liu about specific things, but seeing that this group of people were a little bit surprised, they started to eat hot pot under Bai Liu's greeting, and at the same time they were heartbroken, they had to swallow their questions.
... No wonder Bai Liu ordered so many at one time, so she was waiting here!
But soon, Lu Yizhan's attention was diverted, Bai Liu began to play chess with him while eating hot pot, Lu Yizhan quickly threw himself into the battle with Bai Liu, he didn't even know how to eat the food, Concentrate on studying the chess game.
Liu Jiayi had a small appetite, and soon ate much more.
She moved a small bench and sat on the side to watch these people play chess.
Liu Jiayi is wearing a visual contact lens prop and can see, but Lu Yizhan, who is serious about playing chess, has not noticed this for a while.
The speed at which people draw circles and forks on the paper is getting faster and faster, and Bai Liu no longer eats idlely while playing chess with Lu Yizhan, but turns around and supports his chin with one arm. Eyes staring at the paper.
Liu Jiayi, who was watching from the sidelines, gradually became serious.
She raised her head and looked at Lu Yizhan in disbelief—this guy looks like a good guy, but his thinking reaction is as good as that of Bai Liu, a pervert? !
And the chances of winning are getting bigger and bigger? !
Mu Ke was attracted by this duel, and soon went to watch it.
Mu Sicheng wasn't full, but he was still curious about what Bai Liu was up to, so he ran over with a small bowl full of vegetables and poked his head.
But people like Bailiu and Lu Yizhan moved so fast that Mu Sicheng was dazzled. Usually, before he could see the paper clearly, this person had already torn up the paper. It's over.
Mu Sicheng had to ask Mu Ke next to him for help: "What kind of chess are they playing?"
"Gobang." Mu Ke replied.
Mu Sicheng became more and more confused: "I also think backgammon, but at most I only see three moves in a row, and they tear up the paper and start over again..."
"Because it's already a dead game." Mu Ke replied intently, "They should have played many times, and they are very familiar with the board, and they can see the general idea after playing to a certain level."
While speaking, Bai Liu had already lost several rounds in a row.
Mu Sicheng stared in surprise: "Bai Liu will lose the game..."
Mu Ke took a deep breath: "Gobang is a relatively simple game that tests thinking ability and reaction speed. Bai Liu's intelligence is extremely high. It is reasonable to say that he has an advantage. This Lu The post station did lose all the time from the beginning..."
"But in the process of playing chess with Bai Liu, his thinking ability and reaction speed are rapidly increasing..."
"The longer you play, the stronger this Lu station will be..."
"You mean now that Lu Yizhan has the upper hand, it's Bai Liu's turn to lose all the time?" Mu Sicheng looked at the paper in disbelief.
Bai Liu and the incident of "Continuously Losing" are linked together, which in Mu Sicheng's eyes is a thing that goes against common sense.
Bai Liu stopped writing, and he put his fingers crossed on the table, staring at Lu Yizhan without any expression on his face.
Lu Yizhan was still immersed in the atmosphere of playing chess quickly. Seeing that Bai Liu stopped writing, he raised his head and looked at Bai Liu in a daze: "Why did you continue playing?"
"I'll win if I go any further." Bai Liu admitted this frankly. He got up and stood behind Liu Jiayi who was sitting beside him, let Liu Jiayi sit in his place, and looked at Lu with a slight smile. Post station, "Next, Jiayi will play for me. If you can win her three rounds in a row, our deal will remain the same."
Lu Yizhan frowned: "This little girl can't see it, let's play this game..."
"Uncle Lu, I can see." Liu Jiayi pointed to her eyes and explained, "I wear the contact lenses that Uncle Bailiu bought for me, which can restore my vision."
Liu Jiayi held her heart in both hands, blinked and closed her eyes, and begged: "Uncle Lu, I see you guys are having fun playing, can you let me play?"
"...It's fine as long as it doesn't affect your eyes." Lu Yizhan hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
Liu Jiayi restrained her obedient look, lowered her head and held the pencil that Bai Liu handed him, stared at the pen and paper, and drew the first fork.
Mu Sicheng was a little enlightened about the direction of this situation: "What's the situation?"
"Liu Jiayi's IQ is higher than Bai Liu's." Mu Ke's gaze was fixed on the paper, "She has an advantage in backgammon - Bai Liu is testing Lu Yizhan's IQ value."
Liu Jiayi played chess faster and faster, she killed all directions, and Lu Yizhan, who had an advantage in Bai Liu's hands, began to lose again, and it was very difficult to win once.
But soon this situation changed.
Liu Jiayi gritted her teeth, her expression became a little ugly, and her writing speed began to slow down, while Lu Yizhan's writing speed did not slow down at all.
Mu Ke came to a conclusion: "Liu Jiayi couldn't bear it."
Half an hour later, all the people left the hotpot restaurant, and Lu Yizhan settled the hotpot payment with tears in his eyes, and at the same time paid out the money for a notebook they used to play backgammon, and waved goodbye to Bai Liu and the others.
After Liu Jiayi sweetly said good-bye to Uncle Lu, when Lu Yizhan turned around, her face darkened: "Bai Liu, you are a good friend."
"What's wrong?" There were three balls of paper in Bai Liu's hands, and he slowly opened them. Inside were the last three rounds played by Liu Jiayi and Lu Yizhan.
——Also Liu Jiayi lost three games in a row.
"Gobang is a simple game that is the easiest to measure a person's game IQ." Liu Jiayi looked up at Bai Liu, "For a person with a high IQ, this game is useless." The hand-off period, or the hand-off period is very short, and for people with low IQ values, they will always lose in this game.”
"There is a situation in which the front is weaker, and the later is stronger and stronger—" Liu Jiayi frowned and recalled the scene of playing chess just now, and scratched her hair irritably, "—especially when Lu Yizhan still As the intellectual value of the opponent increases, it keeps increasing, always suppressing you, it feels like the intellectual value of this person is rising—”
"—It's not the same as the limit, is it?" Bai Liu squinted at Liu Jiayi, then raised her eyes to look at Lu Yizhan's back, "When I played games with him, I often felt this feeling."
"But basically as long as I feel a little bit, he let me win."
Liu Jiayi was taken aback: "Why... why did he let you in today?"
"Maybe I put in front of him what he wants." Bai Liu turned around nonchalantly, and bit into pieces the mint from the hot pot restaurant in his mouth, "So he decided to seriously play games with me."
