"What ti is it now?"
"Nine-thirty."
"Damn—" Jiang Chengsi had an appointnt at nine, and he was already late. He hurried back inside, washed up, changed clothes, splashed so water to casually fix his hair, and then dashed out.
The whole process was extrely swift.
Jiang Jinsang stood at the door with arms crossed, watching the whole scene, and couldn’t help but let out a low laugh. So he had an appointnt.
Jiang Chengsi was always used to being quirky, habitually lazy, even if the sky were falling, he wouldn’t be this nervous.
What’s going on?
Who is he going to et? And in the morning?
To get a night owl up so early, it’s truly rare.
Jiang Chengsi was in such a hurry that he only realized his car keys were left inside when he reached the car. He rushed back inside, fumbling clumsily.
The old lady couldn’t help but show disdain, "Always in such a rush, even when dating, you were never this proactive. Have sothing to eat before you go."
"No ti."
Because it was cold, the car needed to warm up a bit. Jiang Jinsang knocked on the car window, handed him a sandwich and a box of milk, "Grandma asked to give this to you."
"Say thanks to Grandma for ."
Before he drove off to the east side, he hurriedly called "Miss Xiao" and saw her ssage on his phone:
[Sir, when should I leave and where should I wait for you?]
He had been sleeping and naturally hadn’t replied.
"Sorry, got held up with sothing..."
"It’s okay."
"I might take more than an hour to get to East City. I’ll treat you to lunch when I get there, and teach you how to drive in the afternoon." Jiang Chengsi would surely arrive close to eleven, as he broke the appointnt, treating her to lunch was a way of compensation.
She nodded in agreent; originally it was set to learn driving in the morning, now, they could also have a al together, any slight grievance she felt instantly dissipated.
...
However, during her wait at ho, You Hongxian arrived.
Her father had already ntioned that her uncle would co for lunch over the weekend, so she was prepared, just not expecting that he would not only co himself but also bring along a man around twenty-five or twenty-six.
He looked good, wore a suit, and carried quite a few gifts in hand, unlike coming for a al but rather like making a formal visit.
"Uncle." She greeted with a smile.
You Hongxian nodded in response, while the man beside him, though not staring closely at her, let his wandering gaze ultimately rest on her.
"Sis, brother-in-law, I’m really sorry. I unexpectedly t a young friend and forgot I was supposed to treat him to a al, so I decided to bring him along. You see, he felt a bit embarrassed and brought so many things over." You Hongxian smiled apologetically.
"Uncle and aunt..." the young man responded easily.
"No problem, just an extra pair of chopsticks, co in and sit." You Yunzhi’s face remained serene, showing no other emotions.
"This young man is really not bad. His family...," You Hongxian praised for quite so ti, "he’s young and promising, already helping his family in the company, with a bright future ahead."
"Is that so?" You Yunzhi just smiled, while Mr. Si, sitting on the side, continued to focus intently on the chessboard, not sparing the young man a glance.
"Brother-in-law, this young man is also good at playing chess. Why not have him play a ga with you?" You Hongxian suggested with an obliging smile.
Mr. Si moved a chess piece and glanced at the young man nearby, "Co over."
Mr. Si had been studying chess for so long that if he deliberately guided, he could make the opponent follow his moves.
"Uncle, I concede, my skills are inferior. I admit defeat." Realizing he was bound to lose, the young man conceded first.
Mr. Si moved a chess piece with his fingers, speaking softly: "It’s not that your skills are inferior, but your mind is distracted. Playing chess is just playing chess, eating is just eating, don’t keep thinking about other things."
"Be more pure as a person."
A stark warning.
The last ti he played chess with soone, it was when Jiang Chengsi visited his ho.
Though that kid wasn’t remarkable, when playing chess, he was fully focused, his mind was more simple and clear, much better than this young man before him.
He had no idea at the mont that the person he praised in his heart was the sa wild youngster he had been thinking about recently.
