Editor:Â Henyee Translations
The Li and Du families hadnât been very quiet recently. Although Ye Jian and Mr. Fu hadnât come back to accompany the old man, the house was very lively. The old manâs laughter came from the chess room.
âOh, your move stinks. Hahahaha, Iâm waiting for you to make a good move!â Amidst the laughter, there was the sound of a chess piece landing. The old man laughed until his face turned red. He laughed and said to Grandpa Xia, who was sitting opposite him, âHow is it? Are you convinced that Iâm retreating in order to advance?â
Grandpa Xia, who lost six rounds consecutively, didnât make a sound immediately. He sat cross-legged with a chess piece in his hand. After looking at the board for a while, he threw the white chess pieces into the chess box and sighed. âIâm impressed. Your moves are really amazing. I really didnât notice it.
âI couldnât beat you when I was young. I didnât expect that I still wouldnât be able to win you when Iâm old. Itâs fate!â
Old Master Fu picked up the black chess pieces on the chessboard one by one and placed them back into the chess box. He smiled and said, âWhen I was young, I learned from Great Scholar Qi. Now, his chess scriptures are still kept in the Cultural Center. If you defeat me, I wonât be able to face him in the future.
âYou have to know that Iâm the last disciple of the Great Scholar Qi. Iâm also his most energetic disciple. Hahaha, youâre still impressive in your own way. Itâs not embarrassing at all. Hahahaâ¦â
The old man laughed until the corners of his eyes were wrinkled. It could be seen how good his mood was now.
When Grandpa Xia saw this, he wanted to glare at this old fellow too. What was so funny about this? He had studied under the Great Scholar Qi too⦠That year, he almost succeeded in becoming his disciple. Who knew that Old Master Fu would appear out of nowhere and make the scholar change his mind?!
Why didnât Old Master Fu feel guilty for snatching his teacher?
âArenât you going to play? If you continue laughing, I wonât accompany you!â Grandpa Xia squeezed all the white pieces into the chess box. Just as the old man continued to laugh, he replied, âCome, come, come.â Grandpa Xia quickly switched the two chess boxes and said, âNow, itâs my turn to play the black pieces. You play the white pieces!â
That was weird. Normally, he could win one round even if he lost three to five rounds. Now, he didnât even win one round after losing six rounds. Was it because he was not suited to play the white chess pieces today?
The two elders, who had made great contributions to the country, were like children returning to their youth. One of them laughed loudly because he kept winning, while the other felt that it was because he played the white chess pieces consecutively that he lost six rounds in a row.
At this moment, Li Jinnian entered his fingerprint and pushed the door open. Before he walked in, he could already hear the old menâs laughter.
He turned around and looked at the person who wasnât coming in even after a long time. He frowned slightly and said calmly, âHow long do you plan to stand there before coming in?â
Standing at the door was a female police officer. She was wearing the 99-type multi-functional police uniform for duty. The police uniform meant she had not yet obtained police status, and she was a trainee police officer. She didnât know whether to enter or retreat⦠Her face was awkward and red.
The female police officerâs face turned even redder when she saw the young lieutenant colonel standing at the door, urging her to enter.
She quickly raised her head and looked at the young lieutenant colonel whom she had misunderstood. She had nearly⦠surrounded him with her colleagues and forced him into a police car. She took two steps back uneasily and said restrainedly, âNo, thereâs no need for me to go in. Iâm sorry, I misunderstood. Itâs just that⦠the recent orders made us vigilant and think that youâre a fake soldier.
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry. I misunderstood. Have a good rest. Iâll leave first. I still have to go back and patrol.â
