Chi Wan and her family came around 2pm. When they entered the house, the old man was still sitting in the shade, drinking tea with a calm expression. When he saw someone coming, he asked the housekeeper to help notify the rest of the family and warmly welcomed them into the house.

Luo's mother and Chi's mother were chatting on the side, talking about what happened in the circle, and Luo's grandmother also said a few words from time to time. The old man over there originally wanted to invite Luo's father to play a game of chess together, but he wanted to give his grandson a chance to show off. So when he started, he gave the first move to Luo Jingyu, saying that he was not in good spirits and asked Jingyu to help.

But what Grandpa Luo didn't know was that Luo Jingyu had played chess with Chi's father a long time ago and was very good at it.

Chi Wan's chess skills are naturally comparable to Chi's father's, and Chi's father's chess is naturally not so easy to beat. Thinking of this, he also pulled Wan Wan over and let Wan Wan play this game of chess. In this way, the four of them sat around the chessboard.

Chi Wan had no pressure to play with anyone, but she felt a little uncomfortable playing in front of her father. It was like a habit ingrained in her bones. She felt a little nervous after not having her father watching her do things for a long time.

Seeing her discomfort, Father Chi said, "It's been a year since I last saw you play chess. Play well."

"Okay." Chi Wan picked up the chess piece and realized that she had changed in this year. After saying that, she obviously calmed down.

"Both." Luo Jingyu's voice sounded. "I'll go first."

Chi Wan and Luo Jingyu exchanged chess pieces. Luo Jingyu played black and Chi Wan played white. When Luo's father entered the room, he saw this scene.

The sunlight shines through the half-open window, scattering onto the chessboard. Black and white pieces are intertwined, and four people are sitting beside the chessboard concentrating intently.

One of the two people playing chess was his son. The young and handsome man frowned slightly, his eyes were sharp, and he was concentrating on every change on the chessboard. His fingers gently stroked the chess pieces, as if he was thinking about the next move. The other person was a young girl with a pretty face and a bright light in her eyes. She sat upright, with one hand gently supporting her chin, concentrating on thinking about countermeasures.

Next to the two of them, there were two people watching the game. One of them was his father, with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes closely following the changes on the chessboard, nodding or shaking his head from time to time, as if secretly judging the moves of both sides. The other one had his back to him, and when he saw the girl, he guessed who this person was, and was holding up a cup of tea, tasting it slowly.

The situation on the chessboard was tense and intense, with the two of them going back and forth. Although Chi Wan was young, her chess skills were no less impressive, and every move she made was precise and powerful. Luo Jingyu was also very good, with his quick thinking, able to quickly find the opponent's flaws and cleverly exploit them.

The game gradually entered a white-hot stage. Both of them frowned, and finally, after a fierce competition, Chi Wan made a clever move and trapped the opponent's chess pieces. A happy smile appeared on her face, and Luo Jingyu also shook his head in agreement, indicating that he had admitted defeat.

Father Chi patted Chi Wan on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, without saying much.

"Hahahaha, Jingyu, you will lose too." The old man laughed unceremoniously on the side.

"Grandpa." Luo Jingyu was a little helpless, but there was no need to emphasize it.

Seeing that they were very engaged, Father Luo did not go over to disturb them, but went to Mother Chi and the others and chatted with them briefly. After seeing that they had won or lost, he came over to take a look at the chess game. He praised Chi Wan generously.

Seeing his father greeting him, Chi Wan also knew that this man was Luo Jingyu's father, and replied: "Uncle Luo, you are too kind."

Seeing that he was there, Chi Wan really felt that bringing her parents here was a wise choice. Otherwise, she would have to deal with this large family by herself, and she didn't know if she would have been sold out without knowing it.

In fact, the current situation is not much better.

Luo's father joined them, and the three heads of the family chatted with ease. Chi Wan wanted to find Chi's mother, but seeing that she was also chatting enthusiastically, she always had the illusion that her mother didn't want her daughter anymore. Chi Wan looked at the gate of the courtyard and really wanted to go out and go home. Obviously the distance is very close, why does it feel so far away from home at this time?

Luo Jingyu brought her a cup of tea and took one in his own hand. When he went to her house before, she was making tea at home, so she must like drinking tea.

"Thank you." Chi Wan took the tea and drank it in small sips.

Luo Jingyu lowered his voice and said, "Let's go out and talk."

"Okay." Chi Wan responded.

The two of them were sitting in front of a stone table in the yard. Half of Luo Jingyu's body was reflected in the sunlight, making him look particularly lazy and casual at this moment.

Luo Jingyu took a sip of tea and chuckled, "How dare you come after what happened yesterday?"

Chi Wan breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "It will come sooner or later, so I might as well ask my parents to accompany me while they are at home this time." She thought that the days in Zhongzhou had never been so awkward.

Luo Jingyu smiled more clearly and followed her words, "Indeed. Let's go to your house next time."

"Sure, it's so close anyway, my mom and the others will welcome it." Chi Wan responded without thinking too much.

"Are you not welcome?" Luo Jingyu teased her.

"Most likely I'm at school, not at home."

"Yeah. Wait until you're home."

"That's not necessary."

"Well, our two families can visit each other more often."

"Yeah." Chi Wan agreed.

“How was your year abroad?”

“It’s pretty good. I’ve been to many countries.”

"What happened last time you told me about going to Central Continent?"

"We moved to a small desert country in Middle-earth."

"Why would you consider going there? The desert country is not in Middle-earth."

"We flew directly from Beizhou, so the journey is relatively short."

"We? Who else?" Luo Jingyu grasped the key point and asked.

"Sun Xunming."

"Why is he here too?"

"My dad is looking for someone in the same industry, but he doesn't trust him."

"Why don't you look for someone from my side?" Luo Jingyu looked unhappy.

"Why do you want to find someone from your side?" Considering the nature of their positions, they would not even consider it. Doesn't he think there is something wrong with what he said?

Luo Jingyu: "What's his situation? You don't know how to refuse?"

"Why would I refuse? There's nothing wrong with him, right?" Chi Wan knew a little about the situation and continued, "Didn't you want to recruit him into the army then? What's wrong with him?"

Luo Jingyu's expression recovered a little, and he looked at her and said, "The situation is different. You should be thankful that there were no accidents this year."

His words made Chi Wan a little unhappy. This man was a little puzzled and said, "He knows him very well? If he doesn't know him, don't say such misleading words."

As soon as the words fell, both of them looked unhappy.

"That's not what I meant." Luo Jingyu realized that he was in a wrong mood just now and quickly made amends.

Chi Wan didn't respond and just drank her tea, knowing that she had overreacted.
