Novel Bin Chapter 645
Chapter 645: So Close
The older the ginger, the spicier it was. The old man had meticulously planned a psychological battle. He would show weakness to the enemy and then attack. His attacks were not sharp, but they could catch one off guard and crush them.
The Old Master of the Su Family, Su Mu, was very happy. He had not had such a good time in a long time. As he looked at the man in front of him, he was full of admiration and other emotions. “In the first game, I used the technique I used when I was twenty years old. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. In the second game, I used a technique I used when I was forty years old. I did not try to achieve anything, but I wanted to avoid making mistakes and be cautious. In the third game, I used my current playing style. Once you see through everything, you can see the battle situation clearly.”
Jun Shiyan frowned in deep thought as he looked at the chessboard. He had advanced rashly during the game. Perhaps he’d wanted the old man to acknowledge him. He had been showing off a little. How long had it been since he had been so eager to gain someone’s approval?
“However, you young people should act your age. Sometimes, it’s better to show off a little. Otherwise, it will be boring if you are as serious as an old antique like me.” Su Mu smiled and started cleaning up the mess. He was about to offer the youngsters his opinions.
“You are still playing. The food is getting cold. Hurry up and come over to eat.” The Old Madam of the Su Family could not take it anymore. She had come over to have a chat, but they had insisted on playing chess. “Ah Yan, don’t take it to heart. The old man is a stinky chess player. Don’t play chess with him. Otherwise, there’ll be no end to it.”
Before Su Mu could continue educating him, he told his wife with a smile, “Okay, okay. I’ll be there soon.”
“I’ll remember your lessons.” Jun Shiyan looked at the old man humbly.
Su Cunshi and Su Heng looked at each other, feeling very unhappy. Ah Yan? It had only been a while, yet she was speaking to him so intimately!
Upon seeing that Su Mu was about to get up, Ling Sheng hurried over with a sweet smile and gave Jun Shiyan a look.
Jun Shiyan smiled. He understood what the young lady meant. He supported the old man from both sides.
Xiaoqi did not have much energy. When he saw that his uncle was about to get up, he walked over on his short legs to pull him up. This amused Su Cunshi, making him like the little fella even more. He rubbed his little head and stood up. “Uncle can get up by himself. Xiaoqi, don’t worry.”
The little fella was really likable, much better than the mischievous kids at home. He took Xiaoqi’s hand and went over to eat.
There were not many people at home. Besides a few children, there were only two old folks, the eldest child, Su Cunshi, Su Heng and his wife, as well as Su Yan, Ling Sheng, and Jun Shiyan. There were not many people at home, but the table was full.
Ling Sheng was a treasure. She had to sit beside the Old Master.
Su Mu was in a good mood after playing a few rounds of chess. The more he looked at Jun Shiyan, the more pleasing he found him to the eye. The child was very sensible and knew how to play chess. He was also good-looking. He was nice to Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi as well. He was really nice. It was rare for him to entertain people. “Third Master Jun, come sit beside Sheng Sheng.”
Jun Shiyan was about to take a seat when Su Cunshi picked up Xiaoqi and stuffed him beside Ling Sheng. He smiled at the elder and placed Xiaoqi on Ling Sheng’s lap. “Father, Xiaoqi wants to sit next to you.”
Su Mu smiled even more happily. After saying a few good words, he turned around to talk to Xiaoqi and play with him.
Su Yan wanted to laugh. Why had she not known in the past that the men at home were all childish? They even competed to see who could dote on Xiaoqi more.
