"Miss Fang is also good at playing chess?" Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"In my early years, I was in a complicated mood because of my marriage, so I could only use the black and white chess pieces to calm myself down." Fang Ming explained.
"When I encountered difficulties in my practice, I would use the black and white chess pieces to calm myself down. You and I do have something in common." Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"Captain Lin is also a good chess player!" Fang Ming was a little surprised.
"I dare not say that I am good at it, but Miss Fang can play a game of chess with me!" Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"Okay, but please invite Captain Lin to come over and taste my tea first!" Fang Ming said.
"Then let's drink tea and play chess together!" Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"Okay!" Fang Ming agreed with a smile.
After agreeing, Lin Haoming saw Fang Ming take out the tea-making utensils she had used before, and then took out two kinds of tea leaves she had collected, as well as three different types of spiritual spring water.
Seeing her take out so many things, Lin Haoming became more and more curious, and then saw her elegantly start the tea art performance.
First, she cleans the tea set, then puts in the tea leaves and pours the boiled spring water. After the first pot of water, she cleans the tea set, and then makes tea. However, she makes two kinds of tea at the same time. The first one is with boiled spring water.
After brewing, the second pot actually used cold water to make tea, which surprised Lin Haoming somewhat, but watching her make tea was also a pleasure, and the elegance in her movements was also pleasing to Lin Haoming.
At this moment, Fang Ming had already sent it to Lin Haoming and said with a smile: "Captain Lin, this is iced and fire tea."
After Lin Haoming took it, one cup was indeed a bit hot to the touch, while the other cup was cold to the bone.
"Ordinary people can't drink this tea. Monks in the Nascent Soul Stage will feel uncomfortable if they drink it. However, it is very helpful for people in the Transformation Stage. The premise is that you can't drink one type alone. You can drink it with the other type first.
, and then drink the other one, no need to consider the order." Fang Ming said.
Lin Haoming listened and tasted each one. It is true that the two teas tasted a bit strong, but after they actually drank it and blended it, they suddenly felt like water and milk blended together. It was very unique, and what followed was an indescribable comfort.
, although this wine doesn’t mean much to me, it still feels very good.
"Captain Lin, how are you?" Fang Ming asked with a smile.
"It's really good tea." Lin Haoming praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Why don't the teas be mixed together directly?" Lin Haoming asked.
"This tea can only be helpful to people when ice and fire blend for a moment. The effect will be dissipated after the first step of fusion." Fang Ming explained.
"That's it." Lin Haoming nodded.
Fang Ming then poured two more glasses for Lin Haoming, sat down in front of the chessboard, and then smiled and said: "Please, Lieutenant Lin."
Seeing her confident look, Lin Haoming naturally knew that she must be a good player. After thinking about it, he decided to take Tian Yuan's position first.
When Fang Ming saw it, he was a little surprised. After thinking about it for a while, he still followed the original chess path.
After more than half an hour, Fang Ming's slightly frowned brows finally relaxed. She looked at Lin Haoming and said, "Captain Lin's chess skills are superb, and this little girl is no match for him."
"You, you deliberately let me down at the beginning, which resulted in me being passive later on. You go first in this round." Lin Haoming said with a smile.
Fang Ming listened, nodded, put away the chess pieces, and took the initiative to place them on the star position.
When Lin Haoming saw it, he also fell into the star position, and soon the two of them were playing against each other with two consecutive stars.
This game was much slower than the previous one, which lasted just over half a month. When it was close to the middle of the game, the two of them had to think about each move for a long time, so before they knew it, the sun was setting and the bright moon was just hanging.
In mid-air outside, after Lin Haoming finished one word, he asked softly: "Miss Fang, it's already very late. Should we continue, or should we close the plate and continue tomorrow?"
"Ah!" After hearing Lin Haoming's words, Fang Ming realized that it was already moonrise, and couldn't help but apologize: "It's already dark, I was too busy and careless."
"Miss Fang, you're welcome."
"I originally asked people here to prepare some drinks," Fang Ming said.
"If Miss Fang doesn't feel like it, let's have a drink together and then play chess by candlelight?" Lin Haoming suggested.
"Yes!" Fang Ming looked at Lin Haoming and agreed with a blushing face.
Fang Ming quickly asked the people below to bring wine and food. As expected, they were prepared early in the morning and were very exquisite.
"Colorful wine, or purple wine, Miss Fang spent a lot of money." Lin Haoming looked at the lavender wine and smiled.
"The reception was not good before, that's how it should be."
"Miss Fang's hospitality was excellent, and it was the first time since I was promoted that I felt so comfortable playing chess. Miss Fang's chess skills are also amazing." Lin Haoming laughed.
"Really?" Fang Ming said a little unconfidently.
"Why, Miss Fang doesn't believe it so much?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Of course I believe Captain Lin's words, but as the daughter of the Fang family, there are not many people who play chess with me on weekdays. Some of the guests in the pavilion always let me play chess with me. I have always felt that my chess skills are not very good.
High." Fang Ming said.
"Ms. Fang is indeed a little unconfident. When playing chess, she was very hesitant in a few moves. She obviously could attack but still defended." Lin Haoming said.
"Captain Lin didn't attack either." Fang Ming said subconsciously.
Lin Haoming smiled and said: "I am already making plans. In fact, when I was reminded before, I already had a chance to win."
"Really?" Fang Ming said, walking to the chessboard and looking at it for a long time before landing a piece.
Lin Haoming didn't think any more this time, and quickly made the move. Fang Ming thought for a long time before he made another move, but Lin Haoming still made the move quickly.
After a few times, Fang Ming shook his head and said, "I did lose. Lieutenant Lin's chess skills are far superior to mine."
"I can't say that I am far above you. It's just that Miss Fang is not confident enough, otherwise she would be much stronger. In fact, as the daughter of the Fang family, Miss Fang doesn't have to be like this." Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"I had problems with my marriage one after another, which led to some bad rumors. Later, some people came to propose marriage, but they were all people with ulterior motives. My father loved me very much. Seeing this, he simply turned down everything
, allowing me to feel at home at home. Although I have felt at ease over the years, I do feel somewhat inferior." Fang Ming said from the bottom of her heart.
"Actually, Miss Fang doesn't have to be like this. If she corrects her mentality, I think Miss Fang will be better in both cultivation and other areas." Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"Yes, I've written it down!" Fang Ming nodded gratefully. After a while, he looked at Lin Haoming and had something to say, but he couldn't.
Seeing her hesitant to speak, Lin Haoming asked with a smile: "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Captain Lin, actually the family asked me to entertain you, Captain Lin... This..." Fang Ming started, but still hesitated, as if the most critical thing was stuck and couldn't come out.
