Su Rong took Yuewan with him, Zhou Gu took Ziye with him, and the four of them left the prefect's mansion in a car.
In the carriage, Su Rong saw that Zhou Gu seemed uncomfortable no matter how he sat, and asked him: "Are you usually used to riding horses?"
Zhou Gu nodded.
"The sun outside is too strong. It's noon. It's not suitable for riding a horse. You can get some shade and avoid the heat by riding a car. Just be patient. It's not too far. You can get there in an hour." Su Rong actually wanted to ride a horse too.
When she went back to the city, she would sneak out of the city gate and have someone bring her a horse, but she couldn't have her mask break just as she came into contact with Zhou Gu, so she could only endure the slow carriage.
"Is it that far?" Zhou Gu frowned. It was an hour's journey, and staying in the carriage was uncomfortable enough. He almost regretted going out with her.
"It's okay, but the carriage is a little slow." Su Rong took out the chess box, "How about we play chess?"
Zhou Gu nodded, "That's fine."
So Su Rong laid out the chessboard and asked him, "Which piece do you choose?"
"random."
Su Rong then chose the black piece himself and lost one piece first.
Zhou Gu took the white piece and also lost a piece.
Zhou Gu was very careless at first, thinking that he was just passing the time when he was bored and wanted to play with her. But when the chess game was halfway through, he couldn't help but sit up straight and looked up at Su Rong with surprise in his heart.
Su Rong's face was calm and she didn't raise her head. She didn't seem to notice his inspection, and she seemed to be very focused on playing chess.
Zhou Gu's eyes fell from her face to her hands. She was obviously a beautiful face, but she was also as fragile as a green onion. How could such a soft little girl be so fierce when playing chess?
Do you have murderous intent? If you don't take her more seriously, won't you lose this round?
Zhou Gu naturally didn't want to lose to a little girl, so he was very serious in the second half of the game.
But after he got serious, he found that he was not sure of winning, and he became more and more surprised, especially when the game was almost over, and he couldn't figure out Su Rong's chess style. She suddenly slashed here, and sometimes stabbed her there.
The sword moves are very strange and varied, which is really different from the orthodox chess style he learned from his master. In the end, he couldn't hold on and lost.
After dropping the last piece, Su Rong smiled and said, "Zhou Gu, you lose!"
Zhou Gu: "..."
Ziye leaned over with a look of shock on his face, "My young master actually lost?"
Yuewan clapped her hands, "Okay, okay, my lady wins!"
Zhou Gu stared at the chessboard. He was serious in the second half of the game and saved the game, but he was also serious about losing. He pursed his lips and turned to look at Yuewan.
Yuewan immediately put down his hand, not daring to be happy anymore.
Zhou Gu turned around and looked at Su Rong.
Su Rong tilted her head and looked at him, "You're not unhappy, are you?" Seeing that he didn't speak, she immediately said innocently: "You didn't take it seriously at first and didn't take me seriously. Don't blame me."
Zhou Gu said "Yeah", "I don't blame you, come again?"
Su Rong nodded, "Okay."
So, the two of them came again.
In this game, Zhou Gu was naturally serious from the beginning. Every step he took, he kept an eye on Su Rong and calculated what her next move would be. However, Su Rong's game was completely different from the previous one. It seemed different.
When she got serious, she made random moves without any murderous intent, leaving him unable to figure out the pattern and guess her next move.
Zhou Gu reminded her, "I'm not angry, please be more serious and do well."
"I'm serious." Su Rong smiled playfully at him, "If you lose this round, don't be angry, okay?"
"I won't lose again."
Su Rong thought that was not necessarily the case.
This game of chess took a long time, but in the end, Su Rong won by one piece.
Ziye's jaw dropped in shock, "Sir, have you lost again?"
Yuewan clapped her hands again, "Miss, you are so awesome, you win again!"
Zhou Gu: "..."
He stretched out his hand to pinch his eyebrows, looked up at Su Rong, and suddenly laughed angrily, "Very proud?"
Su Rong curled up the corners of her mouth with an obvious look of pride, "It's not in vain that I have been studying chess since I was a child."
Yue Wan wanted to say, "Miss, why have you studied chess records since you were a child? You just play two games with yourself when you are bored. I have never seen you holding chess records and studying them.", but she is not really stupid.
, naturally she would not say this, as she was afraid that if she said it, Young Master Zhou would feel even more embarrassed.
"Although my chess playing is not very good, I have always been good at it. I learned from Master Qin of the East Palace." Zhou Gu held the chess pieces and turned them around on his fingertips. "You said you have been studying chess records since you were a child? What chess records?"
Su Rong sighed, "The nameless chess records have all been burned."
Zhou Gu said "Oh?"
Yue Wan immediately said to the side: "Young master, when my daughter was seven years old, she accidentally knocked over a candlestick and burned down a whole yard. It was night and the wind was strong, so I couldn't put out the fire. Everything was burned.
It turned into ashes and we both ran out."
Zhou Gu was shocked, "Then you two are really lucky."
Yue Wan nodded repeatedly, "I was so scared that I cried and my legs were weak. The lady dragged me and ran. As soon as we ran out of the courtyard, the beams collapsed. I was scared to death."
"I really can't believe that with your thin arms and legs, you can drag someone around and run." Zhou Gu felt dangerous just thinking about it.
Yue Wan wanted to say, "My young lady is very strong," but she felt that she couldn't say this as it would expose her. The eldest lady said that men like women who are as gentle as water, so she only said: "In critical moments, young ladies are much more useful than slaves.
"
Su Rongwaner, "Human potential is unlimited."
Zhou Gu nodded sincerely.
Su Rong asked: "Are you still down?"
"I can't beat you. I can't beat you anyway." Zhou Gu felt that if he kept going again and again and again, he would lose the next two games. If he plays the third game again, it would be too ugly to lose three games in a row. It's better to stop!
Su Rong thought to herself that she didn't have the problem of a grown man being upset if he lost to a woman, so he admitted defeat calmly, which was also good.
She put away the chessboard and asked Yuewan, "Where is it?"
"There are still five miles to go."
Su Rong nodded and asked Zhou Gu, "How about we swim in the river today? Tomorrow morning, we will ride out and then climb Fenghuang Mountain. We don't have enough time to go up the mountain today."
Zhou Gu looked at her, "Can you ride a horse?"
Su Rong nodded, "Learned from my elder brother."
Zhou Gu's eyes fell on her, thinking about her soft body. Riding on a horse, if the horse ran, wouldn't she be thrown away? But he still didn't want to ride in a car tomorrow, so he nodded, "Sure."
!”
Unconsciously, I didn't realize that Su Rong had made a reservation to go out for fun tomorrow.
The carriage arrived at Maple Leaf River. Although it was not yet the season of red maple leaves, many people gathered in Maple Leaf River.
Su Rong and others got off the carriage. Because both of them were good-looking, and the maid and the guard were also cute and handsome, they immediately attracted people's attention.
There was a group of people among them who were about to board the boat. They glanced over here and stopped in unison.
Since you guys are so cute in reminding me of updates, then let’s also update them today~
