"Young Master looks very haggard, why don't you go and rest for a while? I don't need Young Master's special company." Gu Xiyan felt that the dark circles under Zhou Mu's eyes were too eye-catching, and she was only worried about his body.
Zhou Mu shook his head and said: "No need!"
He couldn't sleep anyway. He wanted to drive her away, but felt it was rude. Besides, his inability to sleep was caused by his own inner demons, and he couldn't blame her.
"Let's do this, girl, play a game with me." Zhou Mu said and stood up, taking out a jade Go set.
Gu Xiyan's eyes lit up when she saw this chess piece.
She had seen this jade chess piece many times in her previous life, but had no chance to touch it. The chess piece was made of white jade and black jade and was priceless.
At this moment, she couldn't help but pick up a black chess piece and put it in the palm of her hand to examine it. She saw that its knees were as black as ink, its texture was delicate, smooth and elegant, and it was warm to the touch.
"I like it." Zhou Mu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he saw Gu Xiyan's uncontrollable look.
Gu Xiyan's almond-shaped eyes were bright and she nodded vigorously: "I like it!"
It was rare for Zhou Mu to see Gu Xiyan reveal her emotions like this, and he saw her slender hands holding the black jade chess piece. The strong contrast between black and white made her skin as delicate as silk and as white as milk: "
If the girl likes it, I will give this chess piece to her."
When Gu Xiyan heard this, she was so frightened that she retracted her hand: "I can't do it, I can't do it. If you keep such a good thing for yourself, how can you give it away casually?"
This is a chess piece that His Majesty spent a lot of effort to make. It is difficult to find ink jade with such texture. Zhou Mu dared to give it to her, but she did not dare to accept it.
"Girls are not outsiders."
Zhou Mu's words made Gu Xiyan remain silent.
Sometimes she feels that Zhou Mu treats her too well. He is clearly such a cold and distant person, and he is not even close to his biological father.
How could he be so defenseless with her?
"Then I can't accept it. This chess piece is too valuable, and it would be a waste of money for me to get it." Gu Xiyan said sternly, "Only a figure like the young master can match it."
Zhou Mu took a deep look at Gu Xiyan and opened his lips calmly: "It's just a dead thing. It's just not worthy of a girl."
Gu Xiyan knew that he didn't mean to sound nice. He had always felt that no matter whether he was poor or rich, people had their own value, which could not be compared with gold, silver and jewelry.
She was happy to touch the jade chess piece, but suddenly she thought of a serious question: if she played chess with Zhou Mu, would Zhou Mu find out that her chess style was similar to his?
"Sir, I'm not good at playing chess, so why not forget it?" Gu Xiyan didn't dare to look at Zhou Mu because she felt guilty.
Zhou Mu remembered that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Xiyan defeated Xu Yanqing and Princess Yongjia one after another. Those two were not bad at chess. If Gu Xiyan could win, she must have better chess skills than those two.
"Girl, you are too modest. Sit down and play the next round with me." Zhou Mu motioned to Gu Xiyan to make the move first.
Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Gu Xiyan had no choice but to sit down.
Next, she hesitated in the process of making moves, fearing that Zhou Mu would see the clues, but it happened that all the chess games she had watched were actual battles between Zhou Mu and others.
Gu Xiyan had to think twice about every step she took, but thanks to Zhou Mu's patience, he didn't rush her to make a move.
Zhou Mu thought of the scene on the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Gu Xiyan had cleanly defeated Xu Yanqing and Princess Yongjia. Although he did not come to watch the game, judging from the time when Gu Xiyan won the game, Gu Xiyan made decisive moves and was not like
So hesitant at the moment.
"Girl, what worries do you have about playing chess with me?" Zhou Mu expressed his conjecture.
Gu Xiyan's movement of holding the child paused in mid-air, and she felt embarrassed as if she had been exposed in public.
Facing a smart person like Zhou Mu, her desire to hide her secrets becomes even more obvious.
"I, I..." Gu Xiyan's face turned red and she was speechless.
Seeing this, Zhou Mu comforted her and said, "Don't be nervous, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."
Gu Xiyan gritted her teeth secretly and decided to play a good game with Zhou Mu.
Zhou Mu is a superb chess player. She has the opportunity to play against Zhou Mu. That is an opportunity that many people could not ask for. What does she have to worry about?
At this moment, she no longer covered up and dropped her child.
Zhou Mu immediately noticed the change in Gu Xiyan's attitude. Before, she was timid and timid, but at this moment she was decisive and her position was very tricky.
This girl was deliberately hiding her clumsiness
Gu Xiyan focused all her attention on the chessboard and did not notice that Zhou Mu's expression was getting weirder and weirder.
Zhou Mu is a very smart person. After Gu Xiyan seriously played chess with him, he felt that Gu Xiyan's chess style was familiar to him. Later, he figured it out. Gu Xiyan's chess style was similar to his, and his placement was very tricky.
, often unexpectedly.
In this game between Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu, they unexpectedly met their opponents and were unable to determine the winner.
In fact, Gu Xiyan figured it out. Zhou Mu was only twenty years old now, not the Zhou Mu who was thirty or forty. It was then that Zhou Mu's chess moves were treacherous and unpredictable.
She uses Zhou Mu's chess style in the future to deal with Zhou Mu's chess style now. Even if Zhou Mu doubts her, he can't insist that her chess style is exactly the same as his.
Thinking this way, she felt more at ease.
Without the pressure, she became more and more comfortable, and gained the upper hand in the game with Zhou Mu.
But after all, Zhou Mu is not like Princess Yongjia. Even if he is temporarily at a disadvantage, he can still catch up.
This game lasted for a full hour, and finally ended with Gu Xiyan losing, but she was convinced of her defeat, and Zhou Mu won heartily when he won.
"The girl is very good at chess. It is rare for a girl to have such accomplishments at her age." Zhou Mu was full of praise for Gu Xiyan, and his eyes sparkled when he looked at Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan said with shame: "Young Master is a good teacher and helpful friend. I was also inspired by Young Master, so I can lose less ugly in Young Master's chess."
If she hadn't had the advantage of being reborn and had been with Zhou Mu for so many years, how could she have competed with a master like him?
The more Zhou Mu looks at Gu Xiyan, the more he likes her...
When Zhou Mu thought of the word "like", the corners of Zhou Mu's raised lips lowered.
His original intention was to stay away from her, but after playing a game of chess with her, the more he looked at her, the more he fell in love with her
Seeing Zhou Mu's gloomy expression, Gu Xiyan immediately stood up and said, "Master, you must be tired. Why don't you go to the room to rest for a while? I've been here for a bit too long and I want to go back."
"I'll give it to the girl." Zhou Mu didn't hold back.
Neither of them spoke. Gu Xiyan quickly walked to the door and said to Zhou Mu: "Master, please stop."
Zhou Mu pondered for a moment, then raised his lips and said: "Miss Gu——"
Gu Xiyan looked back at Zhou Mu, "Master, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhou Mu looked at her clear and beautiful almond eyes, wanting her not to appear in front of him again. But there are some words that cannot be taken back, especially those hurtful words.
She knows nothing.
She didn't know the torment in his heart, nor did she know that he was scornful of her that day, nor did she know that he would have many evil thoughts as soon as he saw her.
