In the afternoon, the three of them officially went to work. Jin Yun was sent by Aunt He to take care of the kitchen, Mu Xue took care of the front hall, and Ting Yu took care of the room.
Ting Yu went upstairs with a broom and cleaned all the rooms on the third floor according to Aunt He's instructions.
Footsteps were heard on the stairs, relatively slowly, and she could already tell whose footsteps they were.
The young man walked down the stairs. Suddenly, he stopped at the corner and looked at the girl who was going up the stairs.
Tingyu came to him, her red lips curved, and she gave a standard fifteen-degree smile: "Master, what can I do?" [
He was stunned. He stared at her for a long time, then immediately looked away, shook his head, and said in a very low voice: "It's okay."
There was an almost inaudible voice. After finishing speaking, he quickly walked down the stairs, still breathing faintly.
Tingyu blinked, was she that scary? Did he need to run away? In fact, this was right, he should run away.
These rooms are all vacant and already very clean. The so-called cleaning only involves sweeping the dust, wiping the tables and hanging pictures.
Aunt He gave her an afternoon to clean. After about an hour, she had already cleaned all the rooms.
She is not a rigid and hard-working person. She saw a chess game on the table and started playing.
About half an hour later, she heard slow and dragging footsteps coming from the stairs. She could already guess who was coming upstairs.
So she picked up the wiping cloth and pretended to wipe the chess pieces until they were shiny.
The footsteps came to the door of the room and stopped. He looked inside and saw her profile, blue and white skirt, short and short hair tied up high, and she was scrubbing the chess pieces carefully.
"Master, what's the matter?" Tingyu looked at him sideways and asked with a smile.
"It's okay." He said calmly.
"Then what are you doing standing at the door?" Tingyu asked softly.
"..." He was stunned. Why was he standing at the door? Can't he stand here?
"Master, would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Tingyu asked with a smile, as if she was the owner of this room.
"...Okay." He hesitated for a while, then went in, sat on the chair, and collected the chess pieces.
"Then I'll go out first." Tingyu wiped the last chess piece clean and put it down.
"Wait a minute." He suddenly stopped her, holding a chess piece in his hand and clenching it slightly.
"What else is going on?" Tingyu looked at him. She was depressed. Does he need to be so nervous? Or is it because he has heart disease?
"Can you play chess?" he said slowly.[
"I understand, you want me to play chess with you?" Tingyu smiled and stated his intention.
"Yes, are you free?" he asked nervously.
"Well, it's up to you, young master, to decide whether I'm free or not." Tingyu blinked, laughing in his heart.
"Uh? Then would you like to play chess with me?" he asked with some anticipation.
"It's an honor for me to play chess with the young master." Tingyu put down the bucket in his hand and sat on the chair opposite him.
"Do you choose white chess or black chess?" He lowered his head slightly and asked while playing with the chessboard.
"I'll choose white." She likes to strike first.
"Okay, then I'll choose black." After arranging the chessboard, he looked up at her and couldn't help but feel a little nervous, maybe because the distance was too close.
The time of a game of chess passed very quickly. I don’t know whether the two of them played chess too fast or someone lost too quickly.
He was depressed. In the past, he played alone and didn't know where his level was. But now in actual combat, it was obvious that his chess skills were terrible.
"Can you play another game with me?" he asked expectantly.
"Of course." Tingyu smiled.
A new round started again, this time the playing speed was obviously much slower.
About an hour passed before it was over, until there was the sound of footsteps going up the stairs.
He was still thinking hard about his next move. He didn't know whether he couldn't hear the footsteps or just thought it didn't matter.
Tingyu had no choice but to take a chess piece and pretend to wipe it.
He looked at her doubtfully and said, "This chess piece is already very clean, no need to wipe it."
"Aunt He is coming up, I'll just show off." Tingyu wiped the clothes very seriously and diligently.
"No, I just need to tell Aunt He." He was a bit dumbfounded.
Tingyu blinked, then put down the chess pieces and continued playing chess.
After a while, Aunt He came up and saw the two of them playing chess, with surprise in her eyes.
"Aunt He, I asked her to play chess with me." He looked at the chessboard without looking at anyone and said calmly.[
"So Master, you are here, so I won't disturb Master while you play chess." Aunt He said gently, finished her words, and then went downstairs.
