Mo Sha Tian smiled leisurely and said, "Heixin Tianya's chess skills are too poor. How about playing with me in the future? Let me introduce myself, I'm Mo Sha Tian, and my online chess username is also Mo Sha Tian."
As a gang leader with a dual identity as a university professor, it was surprising that he used his real name as his online username.
This displayed an extraordinary level of self-confidence.
His smiling eyes exuded a strong aura, and Nan Huang was facing this pressure head-on. She felt a bead of sweat forming on her forehead.
"I'm Taobilihu."
She recognized him.
That game of chess had left a deep impression on her, even though he had played through someone else's hands.
Mo Sha Tian smiled and asked, "How did you recognize me?" Nan Huang quickly composed herself and focused on the chessboard. She still had a chance!
Mo Sha Tian replied, "I didn't recognize you at first. But just like chess reflects one's character, a few moves revealed it."
He then raised his head, smiling, and looked at her.
"It's quite a coincidence that the only two women I've been interested in turned out to be the same person. You've piqued my interest even more."
"Are you diverting your attention from the chessboard?" Nan Huang placed a piece on the board. "You should know that if you give me a chance, I can suffocate you."
"I'm quite intoxicated by this feeling." Mo Sha Tian laughed. "Only you can give me this feeling. You really want to win, don't you?"
"I don't want anyone to disturb my life," Nan Huang replied coldly.
Mo Sha Tian said with a smile, "I'm actually quite quiet. I don't disturb people."
Nan Huang fell silent.
Mo Sha Tian continued, "If you win, I won't come to the study room anymore. But what if I win?"
Mo Sha Tian muttered to himself, "If I win, I'll pursue you."
"I already have a boyfriend, so I refuse," Nan Huang replied.
"Xie Ziran, right?" Mo Sha Tian smiled. "He's not worthy of you."
"No need to bother about that," Nan Huang said, making a sharp move on the board.
At the moment she made this move, the next several moves formed in her mind. Her pupils constricted slightly.
Just one move.
This one move.
If Mo Sha Tian saw it, he would definitely win. But if he didn't see it, he would lose.
Nan Huang bit her lip.
Ordinary people wouldn't see it, but how could Mo Sha Tian possibly miss it?
She was going to lose this game.
She clenched her fists and stared at the board.
Mo Sha Tian looked at the board, then raised an eyebrow and smiled at her.
He made a move, placing a piece in the wrong spot.
Nan Huang's eyes widened in disbelief. He made a mistake! He didn't see that sequence of moves? She hesitated for a moment and then picked up a piece and placed it decisively.
...
"Oh dear, I've lost again," Mo Sha Tian said, holding his head.
This kind of behavior from a gang leader was quite unusual.
"What should I do now? I can't come to the study room anymore. The study room has such a nice environment, and there are so many cute college students."
Nan Huang remained silent. She felt that something was not quite right with the previous game.
"Professor Mo, you can go to the Go Club to play. We welcome you there!" The president of the Go Club bowed 90 degrees, and the members of the club followed suit.
Mo Sha Tian responded, "I don't want to play with you guys. You're too weak, not much fun."
The members of the Go Club looked embarrassed.
With that, Mo Sha Tian turned to Nan Huang with a smile. "Remember, my online chess username is Mo Sha Tian. Let's play chess together."
Nan Huang bit her lip and packed up her books. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with the previous game.
"Mo Professor, can you take me to a traditional Chinese medicine store?" Nan Huang asked as they left the university.
"Why do you want to go to a traditional Chinese medicine store?" Xie Ziran asked.
Nan Huang replied, "I need to buy some medicinal herbs."
Xie Ziran felt a bit awkward but nodded. "Alright."
They arrived at a traditional Chinese medicine store, and Nan Huang immediately started selecting herbs. She also bought some necessary medical supplies. Then, she and Xie Ziran returned to the Xie family home.
Once they were at the Xie family home, Nan Huang put on a smile and pulled Xie Ziran. "Let's go see Uncle."
In the backyard of the Xie family home, a middle-aged woman with lingering charm was pushing a wheelchair with a paralyzed man.
During this period, the Xie family had experienced more setbacks and challenges than ever before.
But evidently, the spirit of the Xie family was not so easily defeated.
Nan Huang walked up quickly, with Xie Ziran following behind. She walked in front of Xie Yuchang and stopped him.
"Uncle?" Xie Yuchang looked at her in surprise, as if she had something to tell him.
Nan Huang spoke earnestly, "Uncle, if I can heal your legs, will that bring the Xie family back to life?"
Xie Yuchang looked at her in bewilderment.
Nan Huang continued, "Uncle, I've been learning medicine from a wandering old Chinese doctor since I was a child. My medical skills are passable, and I'm confident that I have a fifty percent chance of healing your legs. I'm not joking, Uncle. Would you be willing to give it a try?"
Wanyu was taken aback and said, "Nan Huang, do you know what you're saying? Your uncle's legs have already been declared incurable by Western medicine."
Nan Huang looked at Wanyu and then back at Xie Yuchang. "Auntie, Uncle, I know that Western medicine has no solution, but traditional Chinese medicine is different. I do have a fifty percent chance."
Fifty percent was a conservative estimate. Nan Huang believed she had a success rate of over seventy percent.
"Are you serious?" Xie Yuchang asked.
"I'm serious," Nan Huang said earnestly. "Uncle, I know I've been away from the Xie family and you might not trust me, but..."
"I trust you," Xie Yuchang interrupted her and smiled. "Or I should say, I'm eager for that fifty percent chance of success."
He reached out and touched his legs, which he had no feeling in. "Nan Huang, if it fails, what will happen?"
Nan Huang replied, "It will be the same as it is now."
Xie Yuchang raised his head and looked at her, smiling. "If it doesn't get worse, why not give it a try?"
Nan Huang nodded and said, "Since Uncle believes in me, I will do my best. However
, the process of opening up the meridians and activating the collaterals cannot use anesthesia, so it may be painful. You'll need to endure it."
"That's fine. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we don't have to worry about the pain."
"I've already had the steam room prepared. The high temperature in the steam room is conducive to opening up the meridians and collaterals. We can start the treatment there."
