Chapter 119: Well-behaved
After being enthusiastically brought in, Linzhou sat on the sofa in Jiang Xiyue's house, looking at the room full of people, then looking at Jiang's father in front of him, and suddenly felt that he came at the wrong time.
This is so scary. Just looking at this large group of people is a bit overwhelmed.
Add to that Jiang's father who wanted to force him to play chess, and it would be very scary.
And Jiang Xiyue went to the kitchen to help cook, so he was isolated and helpless...
Seeing the young man in front of him suddenly become reserved, Father Jiang probably guessed what had happened, but still reminded him softly.
"Xiaolin, it's your turn."
"Oh, OK!"
Reaching out and pushing the seven-footed pawn forward one square, Linzhou continued to be in a daze. He was thinking about many important things, such as what if Father Jiang suddenly asked him something later... What is your relationship with my daughter now?
What should he say? What if this old father makes things difficult for him?
Although the probability is small, it is difficult to solve if it happens...
Father Jiang, who was sitting opposite, said nothing and ate Linzhou's food very calmly.
The chess pieces fell on the wooden chessboard, making a crisp sound.
This voice immediately brought Linzhou back to reality. He stretched out his hand to jump on the horse, looked at the chessboard in front of him, and muttered wildly.
"I'm here, I'm here..."
Father Jiang, who was standing next to him, gradually frowned. The last time he played chess with Linzhou, although his opponent played aggressively, he was still very careful. This time, he played without any rules and was completely relying on instinct.
What on earth is he thinking about...I'm afraid it's not his own daughter...
The old father realized that something was wrong and immediately fired a cannon.
"General."
………
After enough self-suggestion, Linzhou decided to turn the tide and save the collapsing building. How could he, a player who could beat the master AI, let a bad chess player win?
After quickly withdrawing the chariot and defeating the general, Linzhou started his best move, the double chariot maneuver.
In twenty rounds, the only chess piece that Jiang's father could cross the river was the soldier...
After skillfully messing up the chessboard, Father Jiang stood up from the sofa and patted Linzhou on the shoulder. "Your level is good. Uncle, I will go to entertain the relatives. You can play by yourself. Also, don't let the fetters affect your thinking."
Listening to the last half of the sentence, Linzhou always felt that it was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
That’s right! It’s TM’s forum!
The original words seem to be: Don't let desires defeat your will...Isn't this about playing chess?
Realizing this, Linzhou continued to sit on the sofa, took out his mobile phone to kill time, and ran away quickly after dinner. In this atmosphere, he felt a little breathless if he stayed for a few more seconds.
There were many people around him that he didn't know, and they were all Jiang Xiyue's relatives and friends. In such a grand scene, Linzhou could only lower his head to play with his mobile phone, but in a group of people, there would always be some who were talkative, gossipy, and familiar.
Soon, an aunt who looked to be in her thirties came over and handed Linzhou two tangerines.
"You are the boy Yueyue brought back. What's your name?"
"My name is Linzhou."
"What's your relationship with Yueyue?"
"Well………"
Being suddenly asked such a question, Linzhou didn't know how to answer. When he was thinking about how to speak, Jiang Xiyue's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Zhou Zhou is my deskmate. We are going to take the college entrance examination together this year."
After answering the question for Linzhou, Jiang Xiyue patted Linzhou on the shoulder and whispered, "Ah, Zhou Zhou, this is my aunt. You can just call her aunt like me. I'll introduce her to you when we eat."
Linzhou nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, then stood up from the sofa and greeted very seriously.
"Happy New Year, Auntie!"
"Hello to you too, good luck on your exams." Being suddenly called "Auntie", this woman, who had just turned 30, seemed a little flustered and quickly took out a red envelope the size of a kid from her bag.
After questioning Jiang Xiyue with his eyes, Linzhou accepted the red envelope with peace of mind.
When elders give red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, most of the time it is to ask for good luck. If you don’t accept it, you will appear petty.
After receiving the red envelope, Linzhou thanked him sincerely.
…
Linzhou sat there obediently for half an hour before the meal started. When he got to the table, he became even more obedient and didn't even dare to pick up dishes that were a little far away.
In front of him was the dish he hated the most: stir-fried pork with celery…
As if she had noticed Linzhou's predicament, Jiang Xiyue stood up and picked up some food for Linzhou.
"Zhou Zhou, have this. I fried it."
Of course, this action could not avoid jokes from relatives, especially Su Daqiang, an uncle who had been in the underworld for many years, who directly slammed the table and spoke.
"Hahaha, why don't you two kiss each other..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Daqiang was pulled back to his chair by his wife and lectured in a low voice.
Only Father Jiang raised his glass and joked about his brother.
"You two are not allowed to show off your affection, right? Go ahead! Stop wasting time!"
"Okay, you are the eldest brother, you have the final say." Su Daqiang raised his glass helplessly and drank it in one gulp.
The atmosphere soon became lively. Jiang Xiyue, who was sitting next to Linzhou, quietly took off her slippers and scratched Linzhou's calves with her toes.
Linzhou noticed it, turned his head and glared at someone, then continued to smile and answer questions fluently for his relatives and friends.
But the questions were all about topics like grades, what major you plan to study in college, and what you plan to do in the future.
These things have fixed templates in Linzhou's mind.
After all, it is a question that needs to be answered every year.
Jiang Xiyue, who was glared at, became even more excited. She put down her chopsticks, supported her hands on the table, gently shook her lower lip, and directly put her legs on Linzhou's legs.
Because she was going home, Jiang Xiyue changed into a set of home nightgown. The leg that was resting on Linzhou's leg was white and rosy.
But Linzhou couldn't show it, so he just pretended nothing happened and continued eating.
"Zhou Zhou, how about we go back and watch a movie after dinner, right at home?" Jiang Xiyue was already full and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Linzhou didn't resist watching a movie and nodded in agreement.
After finding that Linzhou had no reaction to her advances, the girl simply put her little hand under the hem of Linzhou's clothes.
Although they were indoors, the soft little hand was still very cold. Lin Zhou, who was stimulated, continued to hold back and looked at Jiang Xiyue with a smile.
After reading the threat in Linzhou's smile, Jiang Xiyue withdrew her hands and feet.
"I was wrong. I promised to give you a lap pillow while watching the movie."
