On Sunday, I was the only one sitting in the Bai family villa. The butler went to take care of his "butler's lunch". Bai Xiuyi went out with the workers to prepare ingredients. Originally, the workers could be asked to do these things themselves, but he insisted on everything
I do it myself. I see him abandoning the sense of superiority of a rich young man and working hard. I am very happy and heartbroken. I am happy that his maturity has allowed me and my baby to see the future. I feel sorry for his hard work and completely disregarding his own health.
The doorbell rang, and I quickly walked over and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a well-dressed old man with piercing eyes.
"Hello, old sir." I invited him in with a smile.
His probing eyes never left me since he entered the door, and finally rested on my slightly swollen belly. At Bai Xiuyi's strong request, I would change into the maternity clothes he bought for me at home. Whenever I come here
The guests who stay here are always surprised that I am going to be a mother at such a young age.
Needless to say, this old gentleman was no exception. I smiled and didn't care, "Old sir, how many days do you want to stay?" I asked as usual. He finally raised his head, then looked around, "Here are you
Business owner?" His voice was filled with irresistible majesty.
"No." I answered honestly. In the Bai family, after all, I am only a guest.
He didn't speak anymore, but continued to look around here. Suddenly he saw various chess games placed in the leisure area. "Little girl, come play a game of chess with me."
Looking at the time, it was estimated that no one would come again. It was rare that the old man was interested and showed the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly. I nodded happily, "Yes."
Upon hearing my response, the old man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if suppressing a smile. He pointed at the various chess boards and asked, "What chess can you play?"
"Chess."
He was a little surprised, "There are very few little girls who can play chess nowadays."
"My father forced me." I said helplessly. Thinking of the pain at that time, it was really unbearable to look back.
"Interesting." He became interested and greeted me, "Come on, let's kill a game first. Don't worry, I will let you do it."
The chessboard is set, and the Chu, He and Han realms officially confront each other...
"General." I made a move with no expression on my face. "Old sir, you are checkmate."
"Hahaha... Okay, little girl, I have a moment, come again!" The old man was completely aroused to win or lose.
Later. "Old sir, your veteran general died again."
"Come again, come again!"
After that. "General!"
"Come again!"
The old man's face had gradually darkened, getting darker every time he lost a game. During the chess game, he no longer had the joking mentality at the beginning, but was concentrating on the chess game.
"Grandpa?!" An exclamation interrupted us. Bai Xiuyi walked in from the door, "Why are you here?"
The old man only looked up at him and waved his hand impatiently, "Go away, don't stop me from playing chess."
I didn’t expect that the person playing chess with me would be Bai Xiuyi’s grandfather, and I would actually beat him several games in a row?! I said a little cautiously, “Well… otherwise, this game will count as my loss? Let’s not play.”
"No." Mr. Bai shouted with his eyes wide open, "I don't need you, a little girl, to give in, hurry up! You must do it seriously."
"Grandpa, you scared Xiao Xu." Bai Xiuyi muttered dissatisfiedly from the side.
"Oh." I was startled by him and quickly agreed. Then I seriously ate his one horse and two pawns crossing the river.
Finally, "General...general." I put the chess down with a slight trembling, for fear that he would slap the table and glare.
"Hahaha... It's so happy, so happy." Seeing that his veteran general was not guaranteed, Mr. Bai smiled instead of being angry, "It's been a long time since I've been defeated so happily."
He looked at me with eyes full of admiration, "Yes, your chess skills are amazing at a young age. Who said you are a good-for-nothing?"
Needless to say, the one who can say this must be Mrs. Bai, who has eyes on the top of her head. Bai Xiuyi leaned into my ear and whispered, "Grandpa's biggest hobby is chess." Unexpectedly, she actually kicked the iron plate.
"Old... old sir." I called out cowardly.
"Call me grandpa." He was a little dissatisfied with my unfamiliar title.
"Grandpa." I said uncomfortably. "Aren't you angry with me?"
"Why are you angry? Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. Am I such a careless person?" Grandpa Bai said cheerfully, "Not only that, you will often play chess with me in the future."
"Oh." If he isn't angry, I have nothing to worry about.
"You are miserable." Bai Xiuyi whispered with joy, "My grandfather once played with someone for three days and three nights, just because they beat him in one game."
One set lasts three days and three nights, so what if I win five sets in a row?
"Xiaoyi, this hotel is very well done." Grandpa Bai walked into the living room and said appreciatively.
"You don't care about me, I have to save myself. I still have a son to raise." Bai Xiuyi complained half-truthfully. I knew that what he cared about was not the material support, but the concern from his grandfather.
Grandpa Bai looked at him deeply, "Xiao Yi, you have grown up." Then he looked at me again, "I know, this is your credit."
He walked to the sofa and sat down, waving to us, "Come, sit down and chat with me for a while."
Bai Xiuyi helped me walk over carefully. These details did not escape Grandpa Bai's eyes. After we sat down, his eyes turned to the distance, "There are some things that you should know." He said quietly.
I know that a yellowed book is about to be opened, and the dusty past will also begin.
