Yang Zimo lost.

He and Aning only played three rounds, but lost the rounds, and the loss was terrible.

Aning's chess style is completely different from Jiang Zhinan's. From the moment the game starts, she sets up traps, designs levels, and then lures you into them silently.

Yang Zimo was able to deal with it carefully at first, but in the later stage, there were more and more traps on the board, and they became more and more dense, making it almost impossible to escape, no matter where the chess pieces landed, it would be a dead end.

After three rounds, Yang Zimo bluntly said that he lost.

Aning smiled, as if he had predicted it a long time ago, without any disturbance in his eyes, he just said: "It was Aning who offended, son, just don't take offense."

"It's okay." Yang Zimo coughed dryly, and drank the tea at hand, trying to hide his embarrassment, "Miss A Ning is superb at chess, but I am inferior to others, so I am convinced that I lost."

"I just don't know what kind of question Aning wants to ask me." He said this, remembering their previous bet.

"Yes..." Ah Ning agreed, but her eyes swept over Jiang Zhinan's face intentionally or unintentionally.

This is telling me to avoid it.

Jiang Zhinan immediately understood what Aning meant.

She sighed, although she didn't really want to leave, but she also felt that it would be bad if she forced her to stay, so she got up and went away under the gaze of the two of them. All pitiful.

"If there is anything, I have to avoid your lady." Yang Zimo paused, with doubts and guards in his eyes.

"Because..." Ah Ning laughed, then leaned forward and whispered something to Yang Zimo.

……

Yang Zimo left in the evening and did not stay in the mansion for dinner.

Jiang Zhinan went to see him off with a few maids, and told him to come back to visit often when he had time.

"Understood." Yang Zimo agreed one by one, with a smile in his eyes.

"Yeah." Jiang Zhinan nodded, and then took a few packets of pastries from the maid and handed them to him, telling him to eat them as snacks on the way, so as not to be too lonely and boring.

"Yu'an, don't worry about it." Yang Zimo felt overwhelmed when he saw those packets of delicate pastries, and quickly took them into his arms, with a cheerful tone, "I'll send a letter when I get settled later." For you."

"Understood." Jiang Zhinan smiled, and then told him to go back early, so as not to make it difficult to walk on the road when it gets dark.

"Okay." Yang Zimo agreed, originally turned around to leave, but turned back halfway, and stood still in front of Jiang Zhinan again, looking hesitant to speak.

"Did you forget anything?" Jiang Zhinan asked.

"No." Yang Zimo shook his head, his tone hesitant, "I just want to kindly remind you a few words, you can judge for yourself whether it is right or wrong."

"Tell me." Jiang Zhinan couldn't help becoming nervous when he saw his serious appearance.

"It's about Aning." Yang Zimo frowned, "Although Miss Aning is beautiful, smart and eager to learn, and can do everything big and small, I still think you'd better be wary of her."

"It's not a good thing for a servant girl to be too clever to overwhelm the Lord." He said, "Besides... I think she seems to have something wrong for you."

Jiang Zhinan: What a coincidence, I just found out about this last night.

She sighed, thinking that it was not good to tell outsiders so much about these things, so she just said that she would be careful.

But after all, I couldn't help but inquired about it, wondering what Aning had secretly told him.

"It's not easy for me to tell you." Yang Zimo's face was a little embarrassed, "She made a gentleman's appointment with me, if I just tell you like this, then I will become a villain who leaks secrets, no OK."

"But I can tell you that what she asked me was just trivial matters, not worth mentioning." Before Jiang Zhinan could say anything else, he hurriedly added another sentence, for fear that she would get angry.

"I see." Jiang Zhinan nodded, seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, he didn't intend to force him to speak, but just told him to be careful on the road.

Yang Zimo responded repeatedly, and waved away.

Jiang Zhinan stood at the door and stared at his back for a long time, then turned around again, and slowly walked back to his residence.

When she opened the door, she happened to see Ah Ning sitting at the table, bowing her head and seriously practicing calligraphy.

"Miss." Seeing her coming in, Aning raised his head to call her, and paused for a moment while writing, "You are back."

"Yeah." Jiang Zhinan responded, went straight to the bed and sat down, a bit afraid to look directly at Ah Ning's face.

Obviously, on weekdays, the two of them often share the same room at night like this, but at that time, she only thought of Aning as her adopted daughter, and didn't think about anything else at all.

Until now, she suddenly knew what Aning thought about her, and if the two of them were alone together again, there would be something wrong with their thinking.

Aning sat there and practiced seriously, Jiang Zhinan was too embarrassed to yell at her, so he also picked up a book, covered his face and read it decently, looking for something to do.

As for whether she has read it or not, of course only she knows.

Time slowly passed downwards, and the wind picked up outside, and the fog was several layers thicker.

After Ah Ning finished practicing today's handwriting, as soon as she looked up, she saw her young lady holding a book and reading, her face was almost buried in the book.

As if hiding something.

Ah Ning stood up, didn't care about the pile of sundries on the table, but walked slowly to stand in front of Jiang Zhinan, bent slightly and grabbed her hands.

Jiang Zhinan was startled, and subconsciously stepped back.

"Miss, don't get so close when you're reading." But before she could react, she heard Aning say to herself suddenly, "It's not good for your eyes."

"Understood." Jiang Zhinan replied softly, his whole body was like a newborn chick, he didn't dare to move.

Aning smiled, as if she didn't notice her strangeness, and even helped her adjust her posture.

After that, he even sat directly beside the bed, and the one posted by Jiang Zhinan was very close, as if he wanted to watch it with her.

It's too late for Jiang Zhinan to be happy, just think that Aning wants to get close to her.

But at this moment, instead of feeling happy, she was terribly frightened, for fear that Aning would press his head directly on her face, and her back would even get hairy.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, neither of them spoke anymore, they just sat like that.

"Miss." After an unknown amount of time, Ah Ning suddenly called her, "A Ning has read this page three times, haven't you finished it yet, do you want me to read it to you?"

"No, no, no." Jiang Zhinan hurriedly shook his head and refused, and hurriedly turned the page.

As a result, the pages were not turned, the book was not held firmly, and fell to the ground with a snap.

Jiang Zhinan: "..."

Aning: "..."

The current scene was very embarrassing, Jiang Zhinan even heard Ah Ning sigh softly.

After a moment of stalemate like this, Ah Ning lowered his head first and picked up the book.

"Miss is not in a good mood today." Then she asked, "Did Aning make you unhappy?"

"No." Jiang Zhinan quickly shook his head, "I'm just sleepy."

"Then you should rest early." Seeing her saying this, Ah Ning got up very consciously, turned around and prepared to leave.

Jiang Zhinan took the opportunity to call her from behind, saying that he had a lot of headaches recently, and that he should go to bed early in the future, and told her not to come if she had nothing to do at night.

The words were so abnormal that Aning could immediately hear the meaning hidden in them.

But she didn't try to defend herself, she just said hello softly after a moment of silence.

"Yeah." Jiang Zhinan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

……

To say that Aning is really a good boy who keeps his promise.

If she can't come, she won't come. From that day on, she never bothered Jiang Zhinan at night.

It's the same during the day, I don't know if it was hurt by Jiang Zhinan's words, except for the two of them getting together during class time, they rarely see each other again.

After a long time, Jiang Zhinan also felt that the child seemed to be avoiding her, but she had no choice but to let her go.

The leaves turned yellow and withered, and finally all fell into the soil and were slowly corroded.

Winter is coming soon, and every household is preparing for an important day while preparing food and supplies for the winter.

New Year's Eve.

Different from ordinary people, as a big family, Jiangfu naturally had to make preparations earlier than them.

But it was different from previous years. In the past, during the Chinese New Year, Jiang Taishou would stay at home to make arrangements, but this time he was uncharacteristically, and hadn't returned for a long time, as if everything was entangled.

As soon as he got busy, the eldest Jiang Yujin naturally followed suit, so in the end it fell to the second eldest Jiang Chengxuan to arrange the New Year's goods.

But these were nothing, what surprised Jiang Zhinan was that she found out that Aning was helping Jiang Chengxuan with these matters.

"When did they get along so well?" Seeing this, Jiang Zhinan couldn't help asking the system in his heart, with a sense of frustration in his tone, "I don't know anything."

The system has grown up with the child again, and has its own thoughts about these things to comfort her.

After listening to her talk for a long time, Jiang Zhinan still wasn't very happy, so he turned around, stopped looking at her altogether, and kept quiet by ignoring her.

Unexpectedly, Ah Ning saw her little action completely.

In the past, whenever she saw Jiang Zhinan angry, she would also feel distressed, completely sympathizing with her.

But this time was different, she actually felt in a good mood.

Probably this is the result I want.

Thinking of this, Ah Ning slightly raised his lips and smiled.

People around her called her and asked Ah Ning if she wanted to go shopping together for the New Year.

"Go." Ah Ning withdrew his gaze, nodded and responded softly.

It just so happened that she should go get something back.
