Meng Yuan paused in picking up the chess pieces. For a moment, he raised his head and looked at her innocently, "Did I act too obvious?"
Shen Qingqing: "It wasn't obvious at first, but when you asked..."
It's just a self-inflicted crime.
Meng Yuan touched the tip of his nose awkwardly. He had been very careful, but he didn't expect to be discovered.
It seems that being too smart has its disadvantages. Trying to make your daughter-in-law happy is as difficult as trying to make her happy.
He exhaled, feeling a little uneasy.
The happiest thing for a chess lover is to meet a well-matched opponent and beat him with your own strength.
In the end, he was self-defeating and made his wife happy in vain.
Will his wife be angry with him because of this?
He clenched the chess piece in his hand and asked Shen Qingqing carefully: "Then, are you still coming?"
Shen Qingqing shook her head, "I won't come. I'll come back to you when I think of something new."
She finally found out that this man knew a lot of skills. I'm afraid it would be impossible to compete with him on traditional things. If she wanted to win against him, she would have to find another way and use something new, such as Ludo, Rubik's Cube, etc.
At that time, it will be her turn to consider whether to release the water.
Someone who was so eager to win didn't understand the man's little thoughts at all, so he lay down at the table and picked up the black and white chess pieces scattered on the white paper.
After she put away the chess pieces, blew out the oil lamp on the table, and was about to go to bed, someone suddenly grabbed her sleeve.
Meng Yuan was standing at the window, and the moonlight fell gently on his face, lighting up his dark eyes.
He looked at Shen Qingqing for a moment, gently shook his arms, and his voice was as soft as the breeze kissing the lake: "Qingqing, I'm sorry... I just want to make you happy."
Shen Qingqing's heart seemed to have been scratched by some small animal, and it itched terribly.
The room suddenly became quiet. Looking at those dark, bright and pitiful eyes, she suddenly remembered an experience in college.
One of her roommates was obsessed with a game for a while, but his skills were terrible. Every time he played against passers-by, he was killed without any traces left, and his record was red. The roommate went crazy after being killed, and he was furious.
Let her boyfriend play with her.
Her boyfriend was afraid that she would be angry if she lost again, so he tried his best to let her win every game. The water almost flooded the dormitory building.
Once it was too obvious and his roommate discovered it. The little girl was so angry that she criticized him on the spot and reminded him to play the game seriously.
Shen Qingqing was also in the dormitory at that time and happened to hear the boy's answer.
The boy replied: "I don't care about winning or losing the game, I only care about whether you are happy or not. As long as I can make you happy, I'll do anything."
Several girls in the dormitory were so moved by this sentence that they clamored to move the Civil Affairs Bureau over so that they could get married where they were.
Shen Qingqing didn't have much impression. For playing games, just practice your skills slowly, and one day you will become a great master.
To this day, someone stood in front of her and said something similar.
Looking at those gentle eyebrows and listening to those sincere words, she suddenly realized that her focus had been off track from the beginning to the end.
She focuses on games and chess.
What others see is the obvious preference.
I love you, so I try my best to make you happy.
Winning or losing, right or wrong, are all trivial matters compared to your joy.
Shen Qingqing raised the corners of her lips slowly and seriously, and explained to him with a smile: "Meng Yuan, there is no need to apologize, I'm not angry."
She raised her hand to push aside the messy hair on his forehead. Her dark pupils were brighter than the moonlight outside the window, "Don't think about it. I am an outspoken person. If I am really angry, I will definitely have an attack immediately."
, how can I give you a chance to think wildly?"
"Um."
Meng Yuan nodded, looking at the soft cheek so close, his Adam's apple rolled, and the arm hanging by his side lifted up uncontrollably.
This time he did not put it down, but asked her carefully: "Qingqing, can I hug you?"
Shen Qingqing didn't answer, she directly opened her arms and hugged him, and the moment her ears pressed against his broad chest, she slowly closed her eyes, feeling extremely peaceful.
The wind gradually picked up outside the window, making the fine sand and gravel on the roof rustle. Soon, the moon was blocked by dense clouds, and the sky slowly darkened.
A white light lit up in the distance, followed by a "bang" of thunder.
"It's going to rain." Shen Qingqing murmured.
Meng Yuan reluctantly let go of his arms and stepped forward to close the window lattice. The rain suddenly fell, and the outside of the house suddenly became lively, with the sound of rain falling from all directions.
Shen Qingqing laughed and said, "It's better now. I might not be able to sleep tonight."
Meng Yuan pulled her sleeve and walked to the bed, "Go to sleep first, maybe the rain will stop soon."
Shen Qingqing quickly took off her shoes and socks and got into bed. Seeing Meng Yuan standing aside but not coming over, she patted the empty seat next to her and said, "Come and sit, I can't sleep anyway, let's chat for a while."
Meng Yuan sat down beside the bed. In the darkness, he accidentally touched her hair hanging by her side with one hand, and a cool and silky feeling spread from his fingertips to his heart.
His face heated up, and the fingers in his hair stayed where they were. For a moment, he coughed lightly and asked her, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Let's talk about your dream. How did we meet in the dream?"
Meng Yuan unconsciously stroked the ends of her hair with his thumb, looked up at the glimmer of light coming through the gap in the window lattice, and slowly said: "In the dream, I was seriously ill. I lay in bed for a long time. When I woke up, I
I heard you were quarreling with others, the quarrel was quite fierce, and it seemed that you even started to fight."
Shen Qingqing smiled awkwardly and licked her lower lip, "Our first meeting was a bit awkward."
Meng Yuan smiled, "Yes, but you are quite powerful. You can make people angry to death with just one mouth..."
Meng Yuan described the scene in the dream intermittently. At the end, no one suddenly responded. When he lowered his head, he saw that Shen Qingqing was asleep on the pillow.
His index finger moved, entangled her hanging hair, curled it twice and then suddenly let it go.
His deep laughter came from the darkness: "He is indeed a sleepyhead."
The next morning, the men in the caravan did not see Shen Qingqing when they had breakfast, so they specially arranged for someone to go upstairs to call her.
Shen Qingqing stretched when she heard the knock on the door and answered in a daze: "You guys can eat first and don't worry about me."
After answering, he squinted on the bed for a while and then started to dress and freshen up.
After everything was packed up, I opened the window and saw that the rain hadn't stopped yet. It looked like someone had poured ink on the sky. It was very dark and something was wrong.
Shen Qingqing frowned slightly, took out three copper coins from the cloth bag and made a fortune telling.
The hexagram is very bad, so it is not suitable to travel. It is easy to encounter bad people, there will be military disputes, and life may be in danger if you are not careful.
There are many bandits in the south, and the bad guys in the hexagram should be mountain bandits.
These people only seek wealth and regard human life as dirt. If you were to confront them head-on, a fierce battle would definitely be inevitable.
Most of the men in the caravan are ordinary people and are no match for those bandits.
In order to avoid trouble, the best way is not to go out today.
It just so happened that she could also take advantage of this time to catch up on some sleep.
Shen Qingqing put back the things she had packed and went downstairs empty-handed. This chapter has been completed!
